Table of Contents

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this report have not been audited by anthe Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and the result of operations for the interim periods have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

To prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements, management must make estimates and assumptions that may require difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates, and the results of operations for the three and ninemonth period ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 do not necessarily indicate the results that Bancorp will achieve for the year ended December 31, 2023, or any other interim period.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for Form 10-Q as adopted by the SEC. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Bancorp’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contain the latest audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

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

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance – Bancorp continually monitors potential accounting pronouncements and evaluates the impact that adoption of new guidance will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs in ASC 310-40, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” for entities that have adopted the CECL model introduced by ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2022-02 also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measured at Amortized Cost.” This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and Bancorp’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial ~~statements~~statements.

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

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, “Investments Equity Method and Join Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method.” These amendments allow reporting entities to elect to account for qualifying tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method, regardless of the of the tax credit program from which the related income tax credits are receiving. This guidance is effective for reporting entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

On ~~March 7, 2022,~~ Bancorp completed its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc. in a combined stock and cash transaction for total consideration of $168 million. Bancorp acquired 15 retail branches, including nine in Jefferson County, four in Shelby County, and two in Northern Kentucky.

The following table provides a summary of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Bancorp as of the acquisition date, the previously reported preliminary fair value adjustments necessary to adjust those acquired assets and assumed liabilities to fair value, final provisional period adjustments to those previously reported preliminary values, and the final fair values of those assets and liabilities as recorded by Bancorp.

Goodwill of approximately $67 million, which is the excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired, was recorded in the CB acquisition and is the result of expected operational synergies and other factors. This goodwill is attributable to the Company’s Commercial Banking and Wealth Management & Trust segments. Goodwill related to the CB acquisition is ~~not~~ ~~deductible for tax purposes, as the transaction was structured as stock sale.~~

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

~~Total revenue, defined as net interest income and non-interest income, attributed to CB totaled approximately $10.7 million and $3.2 million for the~~ ~~three~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2023~~ ~~and~~ ~~2022,~~ ~~respectively. The significant increase between the~~ ~~three~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~March 31, 2023~~ ~~and~~ ~~2022~~ ~~is the result of the prior year period including only a partial month of activity given the~~ ~~March 7, 2022~~ ~~acquisition date.~~

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the results of operations of Bancorp, including the effects of the purchase accounting adjustments and acquisition expenses, had the CB acquisition taken place at the beginning of the period.

Debt securities purchased in which Bancorp has the intent and ability to hold to their maturity are classified as HTM securities. All other investment securities are classified as AFS securities.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of Bancorp’s AFS debt securities portfolio:

The following table summarizes the amortized cost, unrecognized gains and losses, and fair value of Bancorp’s HTM debt securities portfolio:

All investment securities classified as HTM by Bancorp as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 are obligations of the U.S. Government and/or are issued by U.S. Government-sponsored agencies and have an implicit or explicit government guarantee. Therefore, no ACL has been recorded for Bancorp’s HTM securities as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023. Further, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, none of Bancorp’s HTM securities were in non-accrual or past due status.

A summary of AFS and HTM debt securities by contractual maturity as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 follows:

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. The investment portfolio includes MBS, which are guaranteed by agencies such as FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA. These securities differ from traditional debt securities primarily in that they may have uncertain principal payment dates and are priced based on estimated prepayment rates on the underlying collateral.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no holdings of debt securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.

Accrued interest on the AFS and HTM securities portfolios totaled $3$4 million and ~~$729,000~~$1 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, respectively. Accrued interest on the AFS and HTM securities portfolios totaled $4 million and $2 million at December 31, 2022, respectively. Accrued interest on the AFS and HTM securities portfolios are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

AFS debt securities totaling $247 million were acquired on March 7, 2022, as a result of the CB acquisition, a portion of which were classified as HTM at acquisition. Shortly after acquisition, three securities with a total fair value of $2 million were sold, resulting in a loss on the sale of $92,000, which was recorded as a fair value adjustment through goodwill during the first quarter of 2022.

Securities with a carrying value of ~~$783~~$688 million and $1.1 billion were pledged at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, to secure accounts of commercial depositors in cash management accounts, public deposits and uninsured cash balances for WM&T accounts. The decrease between December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023 is largely the result of seasonal public funds deposit runoff.

Based on an evaluation of available information including security type, counterparty credit quality, past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that are relevant to collectability, Bancorp has concluded that it expects to receive all contractual cash flows from each security held in its AFS and HTM debt securities portfolio. As such, no allowance or impairment was recorded with respect to investment securities as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

Debt securities with unrealized and unrecognized losses at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, aggregated by investment category and length of time securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position follows:

Applicable dates for determining when securities are in unrealized and unrecognized loss positions are ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As such, it is possible that a security had a market value lower than its amortized cost on other days during the past 12 months, but is not in the “Less than 12 months” category above.

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

In evaluating debt securities in unrealized and unrecognized loss positions for impairment and the criteria regarding its intent or requirement to sell such securities, Bancorp considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuers’ financial condition, among other factors. Unrealized and unrecognized losses on Bancorp’s investment securities portfolio have not been recognized as an expense because the securities are of high credit quality, and the decline in fair values is attributable to changes in the prevailing interest rate environment since the purchase date. Fair value is expected to recover as securities reach maturity and/or the interest rate environment returns to conditions similar to when these securities were purchased. These investments consisted of ~~523~~543 and 547 separate investment positions as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. By dollar value, approximately 99% and 98% of the debt securities portfolio was in a loss position as of ~~both~~ ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, ~~2022.~~2022, respectively. There were no credit related factors underlying unrealized and unrecognized losses on debt securities at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

(1) Total loans are presented inclusive of premiums, discounts and net loan origination fees and costs.

Accrued interest on loans, which is excluded from the amortized cost of loans, totaled ~~$16~~$19 million and $17 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Loans with carrying amounts of ~~$2.85~~$3.11 billion and $2.77 billion were pledged to secure FHLB borrowing capacity at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Loans to directors and their related interests, including loans to companies for which directors are principal owners and executive officers, totaled ~~$71~~$77 million and $79 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

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

Bancorp purchased loans through the prior year acquisition for which there was, at the time of acquisition, more-than-insignificant deterioration of credit quality since origination. The carrying amount of loans acquired and classified as PCD was as follows at the respective acquisition dates:

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the book balance of PCD loans acquired as a result of the CB acquisition totaled ~~$59~~$55 million. Interest income recognized on loans classified as PCD totaled $1.1 million and ~~$459,000~~$3.3 million for the three and ninemonth periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, respectively. For the threeand nine month periods ended September 30, 2022,interest income recognized on loans classified as PCD totaled $1.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

The following tables present the amortized cost basis of non-performing loans and the amortized cost basis of loans on non-accrual status for which there was no related ACL losses:

For the three and ninemonth periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, the amount of accrued interest income previously recorded as revenue and subsequently reversed due to the change in accrual status was immaterial.

For the three and ninemonth periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, no interest income was recognized on loans on non-accrual status.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis and ACL allocated for collateral dependent loans, which are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses:

The following tables present the aging of contractually past due loans by portfolio class:

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

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

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

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

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Management considers the guidance in ASC 310-20 when determining whether a modification, extension, or renewal of loan constitutes a current period origination. Current period renewals of credit are re-underwritten at the point of renewal and considered current period originations for purposes of the table below. Bancorp has elected not to disclose revolving loans that have converted to term loans, as activity relating to this disclosure, which is included in the tables is currently immaterial to Bancorp’s loan portfolio and is expected to be in the future.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the risk rating of loans based on year of origination was as follows:

As of December 31, 2022, the risk rating of loans based on year of origination was as follows:

For certain loan classes, such as credit cards, credit quality is evaluated based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by payment activity. The following table presents the recorded investment in credit cards based on payment activity:

Bancorp had ~~$290,000~~$483,000 and $317,000, respectively, in residential real estate loans for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Bancorp adopted ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures,” effective January 1, 2023. The amendments in ASU 2022-02 eliminated the recognition and measure of troubled debt restructurings and enhanced disclosures for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

During the three and ninemonths ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, there were no modifications made to loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and there were no payment defaults of existing modified loans within 12 months following modification. Default is determined at 90 days or more past due, charge off, or foreclosure.

Troubled Debt Restructuring Disclosures Prior to the Adoption of ASU 2022-02

Detail of outstanding TDRs included in total ~~non-performing~~non-accrual loans follows:

During the three and ninemonth periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, there were no loans modified as TDRs and there were no payment defaults of existing TDRs within 12 months following the modification. Default is determined at 90 or more days past due, charge-off, or foreclosure.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, goodwill totaled $194 million, of which $172 million was attributed to the commercial banking segment and $22 million is attributed to WM&T. Goodwill of $67 million was added through the CB acquisition, $8.5 million of which was subsequently written off as a result of Bancorp selling its interest in LFA effective December 31, 2022.~~Effective~~ ~~December 31, 2022,~~ ~~management finalized the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities associated with the CB acquisition in advance of the~~ 12 ~~month post-acquisition date, as allowed by GAAP.~~

GAAP requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. Bancorp’s annual goodwill impairment test is conducted as of September 30 of each year or more often as situations dictate.

At September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, Bancorp elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying value, including goodwill. The qualitative assessment indicated that it was not more-likely-than-not that the carrying value of the reporting units exceeded their fair value.

Bancorp recorded CDI assets of $13 million, $4 million, $2 million and $3 million in association with the acquisitions of CB in 2022, KB in 2021, KSB in 2019 and TBOC in 2013, respectively.

As a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp also recorded intangible assets totaling $14 million associated with the customer lists of the acquired WM&T and LFA businesses. Of this total, $12 million was recorded for WM&T and $2 million was recorded for LFA. Similar to CDI assets, these intangibles also amortize over their estimated useful lives.

As previously noted, Bancorp’s interest in LFA was sold effective December 31, 2022. As a result, the remaining CLI associated with LFA was written off at the date of sale and ultimately reflected as a component of the $870,000 pre-tax loss on the disposition of LFA that was recorded on Bancorp’s consolidated income statements for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

Bancorp maintains life insurance policies other than BOLI in conjunction with its non-qualified defined benefit retirement and non-qualified compensation plans.

Bancorp periodically invests in certain partnerships ~~with customers~~ that generate federal income tax credits. The tax benefit of these investments exceeds to amortization expense associated with them, resulting in a positive impact on net income. The investments in such partnerships are recorded in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, while the corresponding contribution requirements are recorded in Other liabilities. Contributions are typically spread over the life of the respective investments, which can be up to 10 years depending on the type of investment. Bancorp has invested in several larger tax credit partnerships during 2023, which have served as an economical means of fulfilling CRA requirements.

Bancorp enters into interest rate swap transactions with borrowers who desire to hedge exposure to rising interest rates, while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, with substantially matching terms, with another approved independent counterparty. These are undesignated derivative instruments and are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. For additional information, see the footnote titled “Derivative Financial Instruments.”

For additional information related to MSRs, see the footnote titled “Mortgage Banking Activities.”

An analysis of the difference between the statutory and ETRs from operations follows:

Current state income tax expense for 2023 and 2022 represents tax owed to the state of Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois. Ohio state bank taxes are based on capital levels and are recorded as other non-interest expense.

On April 10, 2023, the IRS issued a proposed regulation that would potentially classify section 831(b) captive activity as a, “listed transaction,” and disallow the related tax benefits, both prospectively and retroactively, for a period of three years. While the proposed regulation has not been finalized, it is expected to be finalized during the fourth quarter of 2023. As a result, Bancorp elected not to renew the insurance captive effective August 2023 and expects it to be dissolved by the end of the year. The tax benefits associated with the Captive are not expected to be experienced going forward.

GAAP provides guidance on financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in tax returns. If recognized, tax benefits would reduce tax expense and accordingly, increase net income. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the future for various reasons including adding amounts for current year tax positions, expiration of open income tax returns due to statutes of limitation, changes in management’s judgment about the level of uncertainty, status of examination, litigation and legislative activity and addition or elimination of uncertain tax positions. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was immaterial to Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. Federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination for the years after 2018.

SSUAR represent a funding source of Bancorp and are primarily used by commercial customers in conjunction with collateralized corporate cash management accounts. Such repurchase agreements are considered financing agreements and mature within one business day from the transaction date. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of these financing arrangements had overnight maturities and were secured by government sponsored enterprise obligations and government agency mortgage-backed securities that were owned and controlled by Bancorp.

Table of Contents

As a result of its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc. on March 7, 2022, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of the following unconsolidated trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS are treated as part of Tier I Capital. The subordinated notes and related interest expense are included in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. The subordinated notes are currently redeemable at Bancorp’s option on a quarterly basis. Bancorp chose not to redeem the subordinated notes on ~~April~~October 1, 2023 and carried the notes at the costs noted below at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023:

As part of the purchase accounting adjustments associated with the CB acquisition, the carrying values of the subordinated notes were adjusted to fair value at acquisition date. The related discounts on the subordinated notes are amortized and recognized as a component of interest expense in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.

FHLB advances outstanding at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 consist of a ~~$175~~$150 million cash management advance with an overnight maturity and a ~~$100~~$200 million three-month advance that matures in ~~May~~November 2023. FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2022 consisted entirely of a $50 million cash management advance that matured in early January 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, gross proceeds and repayments related to FHLB advances totaled $2.2 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. Net proceeds and repayments related to FHLB advances (excluding those with maturities of 90 days or less) totaled $700 million and $400 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. There was no FHLB advance activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

FHLB advances are collateralized by certain CRE and residential real estate mortgage loans under blanket mortgage collateral pledge agreements, as well as FHLB stock. Bancorp views these advances as an effective lower-costing ~~alternative~~funding option compared to other alternatives, such as brokered deposits, to fund loan growth. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amount of available credit from the FHLB totaled ~~$1.15~~$1.06 billion and $1.36 billion, respectively.

Bancorp also had unsecured available FFP lines with correspondent banks totaling $80 million at both ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Bancorp had various commitments outstanding that arose in the normal course of business which are properly not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Total off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit follows:

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

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Bancorp had accrued ~~$4.9~~$5.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in other liabilities for its estimate of credit losses for off balance sheet credit exposures. Provision for credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures of $475,000 and $1.1 million was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, driven by a decline in C&I utilization and increased availability stemming from the addition of new lines of credit.

Provision for credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures (excluding acquisition-related activity) of $700,000 and $800,000 was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven largely by the addition of new lines of credit within the C&D portfolio. The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures was also increased $500,000 during the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the CB acquisition, with the offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision expense).

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

Certain commercial customers require confirmation of Bancorp’s letters of credit by other banks since Bancorp does not have a rating by a national rating agency. Terms of the agreements range from one month to a year with certain agreements requiring between one and six months’ notice to cancel. If an event of default on all contracts had occurred at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, Bancorp would have been required to make payments of approximately $3 million, or the maximum amount payable under those contracts. No payments have ever been required because of default on these contracts. These agreements are normally secured by collateral acceptable to Bancorp, which limits credit risk associated with the agreements.

Bancorp periodically invests in certain partnerships that generate federal income tax credits, which result in contribution commitments. Such commitments are recorded in Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and are typically spread over the life of the corresponding investments, which can be up to 10 years depending on the type of investment. Bancorp has invested in several larger tax credit partnerships during 2023, which have served as an economical means of fulfilling CRA requirements. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, tax credit contribution commitments of $100 million were recorded in Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2023, in the normal course of business, there were pending legal actions and proceedings in which claims for damages are asserted. Management, after discussion with legal counsel, believes the ultimate result of these legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of Bancorp.

Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

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

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

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

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

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

Mortgage banking derivatives – Mortgage banking derivatives used in the ordinary course of business consist primarily of interest rate lock loan commitments and mandatory forward sales contracts. The fair value of the Bancorp’s derivative instruments is primarily measured by obtaining pricing from broker-dealers recognized to be market participants. The pricing is derived from observable market inputs that can generally be verified and do not typically involve significant judgement by Bancorp (Level 2 inputs).

Interest rate swap agreements – Interest rate swaps are valued using valuations received from the relevant dealer counterparty. These valuations consider multiple observable market inputs, including interest rate yield curves, time value and volatility factors (Level 2 inputs).

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during 2023 or 2022.

Collateral dependent loans – For collateral-dependent loans where Bancorp has determined that the liquidation or foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the loan to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the estimated fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For real estate loans, fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by third party or internal appraisals, which are then adjusted for the estimated selling and closing costs related to liquidation of the collateral. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, comparable sales, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of the three methods being the predominant approach. Bancorp reviews the third party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 8% to 10% of the appraised value. For non-real estate loans, fair value of the loan’s collateral may be determined using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise or knowledge of the client and client’s business.

OREO – OREO is primarily comprised of real estate acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loans. OREO is recorded at its estimated fair value less estimated selling and closing costs at the date of transfer, with any excess of the related loan balance over the fair value less expected selling costs charged to the ACL. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount and are recorded against earnings. Bancorp obtains the valuation of OREO with material balances from third party appraisers. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of the three methods being the predominant approach. Bancorp reviews the appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 8% to 10% of the appraised value.

Carrying values of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis follows:

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

For Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are presented below.

Table of Contents

GAAP requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis. The estimated fair values of Bancorp’s financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis follows:

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

Table of Contents

Mortgage banking activities primarily include residential mortgage originations and servicing. Mortgages originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors.

The estimated fair value of MSRs at both ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 ~~were $25 million and~~was $26 ~~million, respectively.~~million. MSRs with an estimated fair value of $13 million at the date of acquisition were acquired as part of the CB acquisition. There was no valuation allowance recorded for MSRs as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as fair value exceeded carrying value.

Total outstanding principal balances of loans serviced for others were ~~$2.04~~$1.96 billion and $2.08 billion at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Loans serviced for others acquired as part of the CB acquisition totaled $1.48 billion at the date of acquisition.

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

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

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

The following table includes the notional amounts and fair values of mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage banking derivatives:

Table of Contents

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

At Bancorp's 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders approved the 2015 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan and authorized the shares available from the expiring 2005 plan for future awards under the 2015 plan. In 2018, shareholders approved an additional 500,000 shares for issuance under the plan. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, there were ~~140,000~~142,000 shares available for future awards. The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan expired in April 2015 and SARs granted under this plan expire as late as 2025. The 2015 Stock Incentive Plan has no defined expiration date.

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

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

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

RSA Grants – RSAs granted to officers vest over five years. Dividends associated with RSA grants are deferred until shares are vested. Fair value of RSAs is equal to the market value of the shares on the date of grant.

PSU Grants – PSUs vest based upon service and a three-year performance period, which begins January 1 of the first year of the performance period. Because grantees are not entitled to dividend payments during the performance period, the fair value of these PSUs is estimated based upon the market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, adjusted for non-payment of dividends. Grants require a one-year post-vesting holding period and therefore the fair value of such grants incorporates a liquidity discount related to the holding period of 5.2% and 5.8% for 2023 and 2022.

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

In the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, Bancorp awarded 8,668 and 5,410 RSUs to non-employee directors of Bancorp with a grant date fair value of $550,000 and $350,000, respectively.

Bancorp utilized cash of $175,000 and $233,000 during the first ~~three~~nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively, for the purchase of shares upon the vesting of RSUs.

Bancorp has recognized stock-based compensation expense for SARs, RSAs and PSUs within compensation expense and RSUs for directors within other non-interest expense, as follows:

(1) – Aggregate intrinsic value for SARs is defined as the amount by which the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise or grant price.

Shares expected to be awarded for PSUs granted to executive officers of Bancorp, the three-year performance period for which began January 1 of the award year, are as follows:

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

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

During the first quarter of 2023, Bancorp entered into an interest rate swap to hedge cash flows of a $100 million rolling fixed-rate three-month FHLB borrowing. The swap began February 6, 2023 and matures February 6, 2028. During the third quarter of 2023, Bancorp entered into two additional interest rate swaps to hedge cash flows of two $50 million rolling fixed-rate three-month FHLB borrowings. These swaps began August 7, 2023, with one maturing August 6, 2026 and the other maturing August 6, 2028.

While Bancorp expects to utilize fixed-rate three-month FHLB advances with respect to ~~this~~these interest rate ~~swap,~~swaps, brokered CDs or other fixed rate advances may be utilized for the same three-month terms instead should those sources be more favorable. ~~The swap began~~ ~~February 6, 2023~~ ~~and matures~~ ~~February 6, 2028.~~ For purposes of hedging, rolling fixed rate advances are considered to be floating rate liabilities.

Interest rate swaps involve exchange of Bancorp’s floating rate interest payments for fixed rate swap payments on underlying principal amounts. These swaps were designated and qualified, for cash-flow hedge accounting. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments, the effective portion of gains or losses is reported as a component of AOCI, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in periods for which the hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings.

The following table details Bancorp’s derivative ~~position~~positions designated as a cash flow ~~hedge,~~hedges, and the related fair ~~value:~~values:

Bancorp and the Bank are subject to capital regulations in accordance with Basel III, as administered by banking regulators. Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy within a framework that makes capital requirements, in part, dependent on the individual risk profiles of financial institutions. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Bancorp’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Holding Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Bancorp’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators regarding components, risk weightings and other factors.

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

Additionally, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, Bancorp and the Bank must hold a 2.5% capital conservation buffer composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for the Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital ratio necessary to be considered adequately-capitalized. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the adequately-capitalized minimums, including the capital conservation buffer, were a 7.0% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.5% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and 10.5% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio. As all of Bancorp’s capital ratios were above the adequately-capitalized minimums, including the buffer, the Company was not subject to any such restrictions.

As a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of the following unconsolidated trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS are treated as part of Tier 1 Capital. The subordinated note and related interest expense are included in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. The subordinated notes are currently redeemable at Bancorp’s option on a quarterly basis. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, subordinated notes added through the CB acquisition totaled $26 million.

Bancorp continues to exceed the regulatory requirements for all calculations. Bancorp and the Bank intend to maintain a capital position that meets or exceeds the “well-capitalized” requirements as defined by the FRB and the FDIC, in addition to the capital conservation buffer.

The following table sets forth consolidated Bancorp’s and the Bank’s risk based capital amounts and ratios:

NA – Regulatory framework does not define “well-capitalized” for holding companies.

Bancorp’s principal activities include commercial banking and WM&T. Commercial banking provides a full range of loan and deposit products to individual consumers and businesses. Commercial banking also includes Bancorp’s mortgage banking and investment products sales activity. WM&T provides investment management, financial & retirement planning and trust & estate services, as well as retirement plan management for businesses and corporations in all markets in which Bancorp operates. The magnitude of WM&T revenue distinguishes Bancorp from other community banks of similar asset size.

Financial information for each business segment reflects that which is specifically identifiable or allocated based on an internal allocation method. Income taxes are allocated based on the effective federal income tax rate adjusted for any tax-exempt activity. All tax-exempt activity and provision have been allocated fully to the commercial banking segment. Measurement of performance of business segments is based on the management structure of Bancorp and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution. Information presented is also not necessarily indicative of the segments’ operations if they were independent entities.

The majority of the net assets of Bancorp are involved in the commercial banking segment. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, goodwill totaling $194 million was recorded on Bancorp’s consolidated balance sheets, of which $172 million is attributed to the commercial banking segment and $22 million is attributed to WM&T. The portion of total goodwill attributed to WM&T relates entirely to the CB acquisition, which generated $67 million in total goodwill, $8.5 million of which was subsequently written off as a result of Bancorp selling its interest in LFA effective December 31, 2022. With the exception of goodwill attributed to WM&T through the CB acquisition, assets assigned to WM&T consist primarily of a CLI asset associated with the WM&T business added through the CB acquisition, net premises and equipment and a receivable related to fees earned that have not been collected.

All of Bancorp’s revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 is recognized within non-interest income. The table below presents Bancorp’s sources of non-interest income with items outside the scope of ASC 606 noted as such:

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

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

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

WM&T provides customers fiduciary and investment management services as agreed upon in asset management contracts. The contracts require WM&T to provide a series of distinct services for which fees are earned over time. The contracts are cancellable upon demand with fees typically based upon the asset value of investments. Revenue is accrued and recognized monthly based upon month-end asset values and collected from the customer predominately in the following month except for a small percentage of fees collected quarterly. Incentive compensation related to WM&T activities is considered a cost of obtaining the contract. Contracts between WM&T and customers do not permit performance-based fees and accordingly, none of the fee income earned by WM&T is performance-based. Trust fees receivable were ~~$3.5~~$3.8 million and $3.4 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Net investment products sales commissions and fees represent the Bank’s share of transaction fees and wrap fees resulting from investment services and programs provided through an agent relationship with a third party broker-dealer. Transaction fees are assessed at the time of the transaction. Those fees are collected and recognized on a monthly basis. Trailing fees are based upon market values and are assessed, collected and recognized on a quarterly basis. Because the Bank acts as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and third party provider, and does not control the services rendered, investment product sales commissions and fees are reported net of related costs, including nominal incentive compensation, and trading activity charges of ~~$227,000~~$663,000 and ~~$188,000~~$620,000 for the ~~three~~nine month periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022.

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

Bancorp did not establish any contract assets or liabilities as a result of adopting ASC 606, nor were any recognized during the three and ninemonths ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

Bancorp has operating leases for various locations with terms ranging from approximately ~~one~~six ~~year~~months to ~~approximately 18~~17 years, ~~some~~several of which include options to extend the leases in five-year increments. A total of four operating leases were added as a result of the CB acquisition in 2022. Options reasonably expected to be exercised are included in determination of the right-of-use asset. Bancorp elected to use a practical expedient to expense short-term lease obligations associated with leases with original terms of 12 months or less. Bancorp elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components for its operating leases. The right-of-use lease asset and operating lease liability are recorded in premises and equipment and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Balance sheet, income statement and cash flow detail regarding operating leases follows:

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, Bancorp had ~~not~~entered into ~~any~~one lease ~~agreements~~agreement that had yet to commence.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp” or “the Company”), is a FHC headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky and is engaged in the business of banking through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company (“SYB” or “the Bank”) and SYB Insurance Company, Inc. (“the Captive”). Bancorp, which was incorporated in 1988 in Kentucky, is registered with, and subject to supervision, regulation and examination by, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As Bancorp has no significant operations of its own, its business is essentially that of SYB and the Captive. The operations of SYB and the Captive are fully reflected in the consolidated financial statements of Bancorp. Accordingly, references to “Bancorp” in this document may encompass both the holding company and its subsidiaries, however, it should be noted that the business of the Captive is immaterial to the overall results of operations and financial condition of Bancorp. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

SYB, established in 1904, is a state-chartered non-member financial institution that provides services in Louisville, central, eastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio markets through 7372 full service banking center locations. The Bank is registered with, and subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the FDIC and the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions.

The Captive, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bancorp, is a Nevada-based captive insurance company that provides insurance against certain risks unique to operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance marketplace. The Captive pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves. The Captive is subject to regulations of the State of Nevada and undergoes periodic examinations by the Nevada Division of Insurance. It has elected to be taxed under Section 831(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to Section 831(b), if gross premiums do not exceed $2,650,000, then the Captive is taxable solely on its investment income. The Captive is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and its federal income tax return.

On April 10, 2023, the IRS issued a proposed regulation that would potentially classify section 831(b) captive activity as a, ~~"listed~~“listed transaction,"” and disallow the related tax benefits, both prospectively and retroactively, for a period of three years. ~~At this time, due to~~While the proposed ~~nature~~regulation has not been finalized, it is expected to be finalized during the fourth quarter of 2023. As a result, Bancorp elected not to renew the insurance captive effective August 2023 and expects it to be dissolved by the end of the ~~regulation, it is uncertain as to the impact this development will have on Future operations of the Captive.~~ year.

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

Also as a result of its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc., Bancorp acquired a 60% interest in Landmark Financial Advisors, LLC (LFA), which is based in Bowling Green, Kentucky and provides wealth management services. Effective December 31, 2022, Bancorp’s partial interest in LFA was sold, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $870,000 recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated income statements for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. This acquired line of business was not within the Company’s geographic footprint and ultimately did not align with the Company’s long-term strategic model. Net income related to LFA and attributable to Bancorp’s 60% interest, excluding the pre-tax loss on disposition noted above, totaled $483,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying Footnotes presented in Part 1 Item 1 “Financial Statements” and other information appearing in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. To the extent that this discussion describes prior performance, the descriptions relate only to the periods listed, which may not be indicative of Bancorp’s future financial outcomes. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause results to differ materially from management’s expectations.

Recent Developments within the Banking Industry

On ~~March 10,~~May 11, 2023, ~~Silicon Valley Bank, an FDIC-insured institution based in Santa Clara, California, was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection & Innovation and~~ the FDIC ~~was named Receiver. As~~approved a notice of ~~December 31, 2022, Silicon Valley Bank had approximately $209 billion in total assets and $175 billion in total deposits, making this closure one of~~proposed rulemaking regarding a special assessment aimed at recovering the ~~largest bank failures in U.S. history and the first FDIC-insured institution failure since 2020.~~

On March 12, 2023, Signature Bank, an FDIC-insured institution based in New York, New York, was closed by the New York State Department of Financial Services and the FDIC was named Receiver. As of December 31, 2022, Signature Bank had total assets of approximately $110 billion in total assets and $83 billion in total deposits, marking another large bank failure and the second FDIC-insured institution failure of 2023.

On May 1, 2023, First Republic Bank, an FDIC-insured institution based on San Francisco, California, was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection & Innovation and the FDIC was named Receiver. To protect depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Columbus, Ohio, to assume all of the deposits and substantially all of the assets of First Republic Bank, which was the result of a highly competitive bidding process.

In each instance of failure noted above, the FDIC was named Receiver upon closure of the respective institutions. The FDIC announced that all depositors affected by the Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank failures would be made whole and that no lossescost associated with protecting uninsured depositors following the resolution of either institution would be borne by taxpayers. As the First Republic Bank failure resulted in a purchase and assumption agreement with another FDIC-insured institution, depositors of First Republic Bank remain covered by FDIC insurance. However, while losses associated with the resolution of First Republic Bank will not be borne by taxpayers, they will be applied against the Deposit Insurance Fund similar to any losses associated with the resolutionsfailures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature ~~Bank.~~bank earlier this year. At the time of the proposal, the FDIC estimated that these costs totaled approximately $16 billion.

Under the proposal, the base for the special assessment would be equal to an insured depository institution’s estimated uninsured deposits reported as of December 31, 2022, adjusted to exclude the institution’s first $5 billion of uninsured deposits. The special assessment would be collected at an annual rate of approximately 12.5 bps over eight quarterly assessment periods beginning with the first quarterly assessment period of 2024. However, the proposed rate is subject to change prior to any final rule depending on any adjustments to the estimate of losses, mergers or failures, or amendments to reported estimates of uninsured deposits. The proposed rule provides opportunity for public comment for 60 days following publication in the Federal Register. As such, a final ruling on the proposal is expected to be announced during the fourth quarter of 2023.

As ~~required by law, any losses~~proposed, Bancorp would not be subjected to the ~~Deposit Insurance Fund~~special assessment. It is estimated that a total of 113 banking organizations would be subject to ~~support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a~~the special assessment, ~~on banks. While~~with 95% of the ~~impact to Bancorp of a~~ special assessment ~~is yet~~expected to be ~~determined, such action~~paid by banking organizations with $50 billion or more in total assets. No banking organization with under $5 billion in total assets would be subject to the FDIC could result in increased FDIC insurance expense for the Company, which is a component of non-interest expenses on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Bank failures, such as those noted above, can lead to market-wide liquidity problems and potentially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For more information regarding such risks, and others inherent in Bancorp’s business, see Part I Item 1A “~~Risk Factors~~”~~of Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.~~special assessment.

In response to the potential liquidity issues created by the bank failures noted above, and to restore confidence in the stability of the banking system, the FRB created the Bank Term Funding Program. This program serves as a funding source to any U.S. federally insured depository institution, offering collateral-based fixed-rate advances to eligible borrowers for a term of up to one year. Eligible institutions can request such advances under the program until at least March 11, 2024. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, Bancorp has made no request for an advance under this ~~program.~~program and currently does not plan to.

Bancorp has not been ~~negatively~~directly impacted by the ~~recent~~early 2023 bank failures. We remain well-capitalized and continue to monitor and manage our liquidity position to satisfy both daily operations and longer-term strategic needs. Bancorp regularly reviews contingency funding strategies and we believe we are well-equipped to handle future liquidity requirements. We will continue to monitor the developments surrounding the recent bank failures noted above, as well as trends within the financial markets generally, to ensure we remain prepared to address potential liquidity issues that may arise.

~~Acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc. and its Subsidiary Commonwealth Bank & Trust Company~~

On March 7, 2022, Bancorp completed its acquisition of Commonwealth Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Commonwealth Bank & Trust Company, collectively defined as “CB,” a Louisville, Kentucky-based commercial bank and trust company, which operated 15 retail branches, including nine in Jefferson County, four in Shelby County, and two in Northern Kentucky. At the time of acquisition and net of purchase accounting adjustments, CB had $1.34 billion in assets, $632 million in loans, $247 million in investment securities and $1.12 billion in deposits in addition to maintaining a WM&T Department with total assets under management of approximately $2.65 billion. CB was also the holding company for three unconsolidated Delaware trust subsidiaries and held a 60% interest in LFA. Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of all three trust subsidiaries and also retained the 60% interest in LFA upon acquisition, the latter of which was disposed of effective December 31, 2022. Bancorp acquired all outstanding common stock of CB, Inc. in a combined stock and cash transaction that resulted in total consideration paid to CB shareholders of $168 million.

~~Table of Contents~~

Bancorp recorded goodwill of approximately $67 million and incurred merger related expenses totaling $19.5 million during the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the CB acquisition. As a result of Bancorp’s disposition of its partial interest in LFA, which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $870,000 recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated income statements for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, goodwill totaling $8.5 million was written off, bringing total goodwill related to the CB acquisition to $58 million as of December 31, 2022.

The acquisition of CB has had a significant impact on the ACL and credit loss provisioning in 2022. In total, the CB acquisition served to increase the ACL on loans by $14 million at acquisition date. This increase consisted of $10 million attributed to the acquired PCD loan portfolio, with the corresponding offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision for credit loss expense), and $4.4 million of provision for credit loss expense attributed to the acquired non-PCD portfolio, which represented the acquisition-related credit loss expense at the time of acquisition.

~~Strong results~~Results for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 were driven by ~~significant organic and acquisition-related~~strong loan growth, ~~over the past 12 months,~~ a significantly higher interest rate environment compared to the same period of the prior year and the continued growth of Bancorp’s diversified non-interest revenue streams.

An increase in the cost of funds stemming from deposit pricing pressure, which has driven deposit contraction and increased borrowing activity, hindered results for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year.

●

Total loans (excluding PPP) increased $559 million, or 11%, compared to September 30, 2022, driven by significant organic growth over the past 12 months. Average loans (excluding PPP) increased $554 million, or 11%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year.

●

Deposit balances declined $98 million, or 2%, compared to September 30, 2022, as a result of inflationary pressures and rising rates, the latter of which has enticed depositors to seek higher-yielding alternatives. In addition, a portion the deposit decline experienced for the first nine months of 2023 was driven by anticipated public funds runoff. While we have not seen widespread fallout in our overall customer base, deposit competition and a higher interest rate environment has created NIM compression and we expect it will continue to do so through the end of 2023.

As a result of deposit pricing pressure/competition, Bancorp has experienced a significant shift in the deposit mix, as non-interest bearing deposits and lower-yielding deposits have migrated to higher-yielding options, particularly time deposits. This shift has significantly increased Bancorp’s cost of deposits and overall cost of funds.

●

Net interest income (FTE) totaled $61.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing a decrease of $1.2 million, or 2%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

NIM decreased 12 bps, or 3%, to 3.34% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year, driven by rising deposit costs and increased borrowing activity, which has outpaced the benefits of average earning asset expansion and the impact of rising rates on those assets over the past 12 months.

●

Non-interest income decreased $2.0 million, or 8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, which was attributed largely to non-recurring activity recorded during the third quarter of 2022, including a $3.1 million gain associated with the sale of acquired property.

●

Non-interest expenses increased $1.8 million, or 4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Non-interest expenses in general remain well-controlled and consistent with expansion, strong performance and continued investment in technology.

The nine months ended September 30, 2022 was significantly impacted by the CB acquisition.

Strong results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were driven by significant organic and acquisition-related growth, higher net interest margin compared to the same period of the prior year and the continued growth of Bancorp’s diversified non-interest revenue streams.

An increase in the cost of funds stemming from deposit contraction and pricing pressure, as well as increased borrowing activity, had a substantial impact on results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Bancorp completed its acquisition of CB on March 7, 2022.

Net Interest Income - Overview

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

NIM and net interest spread calculations above exclude the sold portion of certain participation loans, which totaled $4 million and $5 million at ~~both March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, ~~2022.~~2022, respectively. These sold loans are on Bancorp’s balance sheet as required by GAAP because Bancorp retains some form of effective control; however, Bancorp receives no interest income on the sold portion. These participation loans sold are excluded from NIM and spread analysis, as Bancorp believes it provides a more accurate depiction of loan portfolio performance.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, Bancorp’s loan portfolio consisted of approximately ~~71%~~73% fixed and ~~29%~~27% variable rate loans. At inception, most of Bancorp’s fixed rate loans are priced in relation to the five year treasury. Bancorp’s variable rate loans are typically indexed to either Prime ~~LIBOR~~ or SOFR, generally repricing as those rates change.

Prime rate, the five year Treasury note rate ~~one month term LIBOR~~ and one month term SOFR are included in the table above to provide a general indication of the interest rate environment in which Bancorp has operated during the past 12 months. The FRB took aggressive interest rate action in 2022, increasing the FFTR a total of 425 bps to a range of 4.25% - 4.50%. These increases ultimately took Prime to 7.50% as of December 31, 2022, marking its highest level since 2007.

During the first ~~quarter~~nine months of 2023, the FRB continued raising rates, albeit at a slower pace, increasing the FFTR 50a total of 100 bps to a range of ~~4.75%~~5.25% - ~~5.00%~~5.50% as of September 30, 2023 via ~~two~~four separate 25 bps rate hikes. As a result, Prime ~~was 8.00%~~ended at 8.50% as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

Recent projections indicate that the ~~FRB through~~FFTR will remain at the current level during the fourth quarter of 2023 ~~with rates maintaining their higher levels~~and stay there through the ~~end~~first quarter of ~~the year, current projections now anticipate multiple rate decreases from the FRB beginning in the second half of 2023.~~2024. As a potential economic slowdown and recession looms, Bancorp expects ongoing pricing pressure/competition for both loans and deposits, changing levels of liquidity within the banking system and a severely inverted yield curve will continue to place pressure on NIM through the end of 2023 and early 2024.

Net Interest Income (FTE) – Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to September 30, 2022

Net interest spread (FTE) and NIM (FTE) were 2.67% and 3.34%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 3.31% and 3.46% for the same period in ~~2023.~~2022, respectively. NIM during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was significantly impacted by the following:

●

The rising interest rate environment that has evolved from the sustained, pandemic-driven lows experienced beginning in 2020. The FFTR was lowered to a range of 0% - 0.25% in March of 2020, which resulted in Prime dropping to 3.25%, where it remained until the FRB’s hike in mid-March 2022. The FFTR stood at a range of 5.25% - 5.50%, and Prime at 8.50%, as of September 30, 2023, as a result of aggressive interest rate action from the FRB over the past 12 months.

●

Intense pricing pressure/competition for deposits has driven a significant increase in the cost of funds and overall deposit contraction, as depositors seek higher yielding deposit alternatives and Bancorp’s borrowing activity has increased, driving NIM compression.

Net interest income (FTE) decreased $1.2 million, or 2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, as significant organic loan growth and the benefit higher rates had on interest earning assets were outpaced by rising funding costs stemming from intense pricing pressure/competition for deposits and increased borrowing activity.

Total average interest earning assets increased $123 million, or 2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period of 2022, as substantial average loan growth was offset by a decline in average FFS/interest bearing due from bank balances and a decline in average investment securities associated with normal amortization and contractual maturities. However, as a result of a significantly higher interest rate environment, the average rate earned on total interest earning assets climbed 110 bps to 4.84%.

●

Average total loan balances increased $537 million, or 11%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022. Average non-PPP loan growth of $554 million, or 11%, was driven by strong organic growth, which was partially offset by a $17 million, or 74%, decline in average PPP loan balances resulting from continued pay down and forgiveness activity.

●

Average investment securities declined $110 million, or 6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, the result of normal pay down and maturity activity. Investment in the securities portfolio has slowed considerably over the past 12 months, consistent with funding loan growth and a general industry-wide decline in liquidity.

●

Average FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances decreased $318 million, or 72%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as loan growth and deposit contraction led to lower levels of liquidity compared to the same period of the prior year.

Total interest income (FTE) increased $21.4 million, or 32%, to $89.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period of 2022.

●

Interest and fee income (FTE) on loans increased $21.4 million, or 38%, to $78.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022, driven by the rising rate environment and significant organic growth. The yield on the overall loan portfolio increased 110 bps to 5.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 4.56% for the same period of the prior year.

●

Despite the decline in average investment securities, there was a $503,000, or 6%, increase in interest income (FTE) on the portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, driving a 24 bps increase in the corresponding yield on the portfolio. The increased yield on the investment securities portfolio was driven by the benefit of investments purchased in the prior year once rates began to rise and the continued amortization and maturity of lower-yielding securities.

●

Interest income on FFS and interest bearing due from bank balances decreased $810,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as a $318 million decline in corresponding average balances more than offset the dramatic rise in the FFTR experienced over the past twelve months. The yield on these assets increased 303 bps to 5.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $457 million, or 10%, to $5.1 billion for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 compared with the same period in 2022.

●

Average interest bearing deposits increased $64 million, or 1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, as a $296 million increase in average time deposits attributed to Bancorp’s promotional offerings more than offset declines in other interest bearing deposit types.

●

Average FHLB advances totaled $402 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Bancorp utilized overnight borrowings with the FHLB during the three months ended September 30, 2023 based on evolving liquidity needs. Bancorp also utilized a rolling $200 million term advance in conjunction with three separate interest rate swaps during the quarter in an effort to secure longer-term funding at a more favorable rate. No FHLB borrowings were utilized during the same period of the prior year.

●

Average subordinated debentures totaled $27 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. These subordinated debentures were added as a result of the CB acquisition during the first quarter of 2022.

Total interest expense increased $22.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, driven by a significant rise in rates paid on deposits and increased borrowing activity. As a result, the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 173 bps to 2.16% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

●

Total interest bearing deposit expense increased $16.9 million as a result of the aforementioned deposit rate increases, resulting in a 148 bp increase in the cost of interest bearing deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year. Bancorp expects pricing pressure/competition stemming from the rising rate environment to continue in the coming months.

●

Interest expense of $4.9 million was recorded in relation to FHLB borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 2023, driven by the increased borrowing activity previously noted. No FHLB borrowings were utilized for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

●

Interest expense totaling $579,000 was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as a result of the subordinated debentures added through the prior year acquisition, approximately $100,000 of which stems from purchase accounting-related mark-to-market amortization.

Supplemental Information - Average Balance Sheets and Interest Rates (FTE)

●

Average loan balances include the principal balance of non-accrual loans, as well as unearned income such as loan premiums, discounts, fees/costs and exclude participation loans accounted for as secured borrowings. Participation loans accounted for as secured borrowings averaged $4 million and $5 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Participation loans accounted for as secured borrowings averaged $5 million for both the ~~three-month period~~three and nine-month periods ended ~~March 31, 2023 and~~September 30, 2022, respectively.

●

Interest income on a FTE basis includes additional amounts of interest income that would have been earned if investments in certain tax-exempt interest earning assets had been made in assets subject to federal taxes yielding the same after-tax income. Interest income on municipal securities and tax-exempt loans has been calculated on a FTE basis using a federal income tax rate of 21%. Approximate tax equivalent adjustments to interest income were ~~$173,000~~$122,000 and ~~$184,000~~$232,000 for the three-month periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $441,000 and $677,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

●

Interest income includes loan fees of ~~$1.9~~$1.1 million ($~~139,000~~27,000 associated with the PPP) and ~~$3.8~~$2.2 million ($~~2.8 million~~590,000 associated with the PPP) for the three-month periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4.1 million ($217,000 associated with the PPP) and $8.9 million ($4.1 million associated with the PPP) for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest income on loans may be materially impacted by the level of prepayment fees collected and accretion related to ~~purchased~~acquired loans. Accretion income related to acquired loans totaled $507,000 and $609,000 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2.0 million for nine-month periods ended both September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

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

Interest Rate Simulation Sensitivity Analysis

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

The results of the interest rate sensitivity analysis performed as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 were derived from the conservative assumptions Bancorp uses in the model, particularly in relation to deposit betas, which measure how responsive management’s deposit repricing may be to changes in market rates and are based on historical data. Management uses different betas in the rising and falling rate scenarios in an effort to best simulate expected earnings trends. The results presented below reflect an interest rate sensitivity analysis that incorporates a deposit beta of approximately 60% for the rising rate scenarios and ~~30%~~32% for falling rate scenarios, respectively. While the beta’s experienced since rates began to rise in the first quarter of 2022 were significantly below the 60% beta used in the model, the Company anticipates the future rising rate scenario betas to return to the historic averages. The ~~30%~~32% beta used in the falling rate scenario is the result of management’s expectations of deposit rate decreases given the rate changes experienced since the first quarter of 2022.

Bancorp’s interest rate simulation sensitivity analysis details that increases in interest rates of 100, 200 and 300 bps would have a negative effect on net interest income, as would decreases in interest rates of 100 and 200 bps. These results depict a slightly liability sensitive interest rate risk profile in rising rate scenarios and an asset sensitive position in the falling rate scenarios. The decrease in net interest income in the rising rate scenarios is primarily due to variable rate loans and short-term investments repricing slower than deposits and short-term borrowings. The decrease in net interest income in the falling rate scenarios is the result of the lower beta experienced since rates began to rise in the first quarter of 2022, which was the result of a significant percentage of the Company’s deposit cost being less than 100 bps, and therefore cannot decrease the full 100 or 200 bps simulated in the model.

Bancorp’s loan portfolio is currently composed of approximately ~~72%~~73% fixed and ~~28%~~27% variable rate loans, with the fixed rate portion pricing generally based on a spread to the five year treasury curve at the time of origination and the variable portion pricing based on an on-going spread to Prime (approximately ~~65%~~62%) or ~~one month LIBOR/~~SOFR (approximately ~~35%~~38%).

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), the authority regulating LIBOR, along with various other regulatory bodies, announced that LIBOR would likely be discontinued at the end of 2021. Subsequent to that announcement, in November 2020, the FCA announced that many tenors of LIBOR would continue to be published through June 2023. Subsequent to this, Bank regulators instructed banks to discontinue new originations referencing LIBOR as soon as possible, but no later than December 2021. Effective December 31, 2021, LIBOR is no longer used to issue new loans in the U.S. It ~~is expected to be~~has been replaced primarily by ~~the~~ SOFR, which ~~many experts consider~~is considered to be a more accurate and ~~more~~ secure pricing benchmark. To facilitate the transition process, management has instituted an enterprise-wide program to identify, assess, and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuance or unavailability of LIBOR. To date, Bancorp ~~has~~did not ~~experienced~~experience any operational issues associated with reference rate ~~reform, nor do we anticipate any in the future.~~reform.

~~Table of Contents~~

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

Table of Contents

As a result of ~~March 31,~~LIBOR’s cessation in June 2023, the Company did not have any loans or interest rate derivative contracts that referenced LIBOR as of September 30, 2023. The Company now utilizes SOFR as the replacement for LIBOR. The Company had ~~approximately $312~~$722 million in loans and interest rate derivative contracts ~~of $108 million~~ (notional amount) that reference LIBOR. Each of the LIBOR-referenced amounts discussed above will vary in future periods as current contracts expire with potential replacement contracts using either LIBOR or an alternative reference rate. The Company, and other industry participants, continue to review alternative reference rates that could be utilized as a replacement for LIBOR. The Company had $236 million in loans that were indexed to SOFR at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

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

In addition, Bancorp periodically uses derivative financial instruments as part of its interest rate risk management, including interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges as described in the Footnote titled “Derivative Financial Instruments.” For these derivatives, the effective portion of gains or losses is reported as a component of OCI, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in periods in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses on loans at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 represents the amount of expense that, based on Management’s judgment, is required to maintain the ACL for loans at an appropriate level under the CECL model. The determination of the amount of the ACL for loans is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. See the Footnote titled “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for detailed discussion regarding Bancorp’s ACL methodology by loan segment.

An analysis of the changes in the ACL for loans, including provision, and selected ratios follow:

The ACL for loans totaled ~~$76~~$78 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$67~~$70 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of ~~1.44%~~1.39% and 1.38% for ~~those periods, respectively.~~the respective periods. The ACL to loans (excluding PPP loans) was ~~1.45%~~1.39% at ~~March 31,~~both September 30, 2023 ~~compared to 1.40% at March 31,~~and September 30, 2022. Based on the 100% SBA guarantee of the PPP loan portfolio, which totaled ~~$10~~$5 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and ~~$71~~$19 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, Bancorp did not reserve for potential losses for these loans within the ACL. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP measures.

Provision of $2.3 million and $6.7 million was recorded to provision for credit losses on loans for the three and nine month ~~period~~periods ended ~~March 31, 2023.~~September 30, 2023, respectively. While credit quality remains strong, provision expense for the ~~first quarter of~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was driven by ~~the establishment of~~strong loan growth, which was partially offset by improvement in unemployment forecast and a ~~$1.4 million~~reduction in specific ~~reserve for a large C&I relationship, annual CECL model updates and qualitative factor adjustments. Further, net~~reserves due to charge-offs. Net charge off activity for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 totaled ~~$108,000, serving~~$1.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, which was attributed mainly to ~~reduce~~ the ~~ACL~~charge off of a larger C&I relationship, which was fully reserved for ~~loans.~~in a prior period.

~~Negative provision~~Provision expense (excluding acquisition-related activity) of ~~$1.8~~$4.1 million and $1.7 million was recorded for the three ~~month~~and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, ~~due to improvement in the unemployment forecast, updates to Bancorp’s CECL modeling, net recoveries and strong historic credit metrics. Offsetting the negative provision~~respectively. Expense for the three ~~months ended March 31,~~month period of the prior year was driven by strong third quarter loan growth and to a lesser extent, a negative economic forecast. While these factors also drove expense for the nine month period of the prior year, they were more than offset by the release of approximately $3.0 million in specific reserves relating to acquired individual loans. These loans paid off during the second quarter of 2022 ~~was~~with no loss or charge-off realized by Bancorp.

Further, credit loss expense recorded in the first quarter of 2022 for the loan portfolio acquired from CB, which totaled $4.4 ~~million.~~million, added to the expense noted above for the prior year period, resulting in total provision for credit losses on loans of $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

In addition to the provision activity noted above for the prior year period, the ACL for loans was also increased $10 million during the first quarter of 2022, as a result of the PCD loan portfolio added through the CB acquisition, with the corresponding offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision expense).

While separate from the ACL for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures also experienced an increase between December 31, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023. Provision for credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures of ~~$375,000~~$475,000 and $1.1 million was recorded for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, driven ~~mainly~~ by a decline in C&I ~~utilization.~~utilization and increased availability stemming from the addition of new lines of credit. The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures ~~was $4.9~~totaled $5.6 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023.

~~Negative provision~~Provision for credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures (excluding acquisition-related activity) of ~~$400,000~~$700,000 and $800,000 was recorded for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. The expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 ~~as nearly all applicable loan segments experienced declines in their reserve loss percentage, consistent with generally improving model factors and improvement in line~~was driven largely by the addition of new lines of credit, ~~utilization. Offsetting this negative provision was a $500,000 increase in~~and thus increased availability, within the C&D portfolio. The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures ~~associated with~~was also increased $500,000 during the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the CB acquisition, with the offset recorded to goodwill (as opposed to provision expense). The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures ~~stood at $3.6~~totaled $5 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022.

Bancorp’s loan portfolio is well-diversified with no significant concentrations of credit. Geographically, most loans are extended to borrowers in Louisville, central, eastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan markets. The adequacy of the ACL is monitored on an ongoing basis and it is the opinion of management that the balance of the ACL at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the financial statement date.

As previously noted, the prior year period only included ~~just a partial month~~approximately seven months of activity related to the CB acquisition.

WM&T Services:

The magnitude of WM&T revenue distinguishes Bancorp from other community banks of similar asset size. WM&T revenue increased ~~$1.3~~$878,000, or 10%, and $2.8 million, or ~~16%~~10%, for the three and nine month ~~period~~periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, as compared with the same ~~period~~periods of 2022, consistent with ~~acquisition-related activity, organic~~ new business development, increased estate fees, positive year-to-date returns from the equity markets and ~~positive returns for the quarter from both the fixed income and equity markets.~~to a lesser extent, acquisition-related activity.

Recurring fees earned for managing accounts are based on a percentage of market value of AUM and are typically assessed on a monthly basis. Recurring fees, which generally comprise the vast majority of WM&T revenue, increased ~~$1.2~~$568,000, or 6%, and $2.3 million, or ~~15%~~9%, for the three and nine month ~~period~~periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, as compared with the same ~~period~~periods of 2022.

A portion of WM&T revenue, most notably executor and certain employee benefit plan-related fees, are non-recurring in nature and the timing of these revenues corresponds with the related administrative activities. For this reason, such fees are subject to greater period over period fluctuation. Total non-recurring fees increased ~~$54,000~~$310,000 and $468,000 for the three and nine month ~~period~~periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, as compared with the same ~~period~~periods of 2022, which was driven mainly by ~~higher~~increased estate ~~fees earned.~~fee income.

AUM, stated at market value, totaled ~~$6.76~~$6.67 billion at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared with ~~$7.59~~$6.30 billion at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and $6.59 billion at December 31, 2022. The ~~decrease~~increase in AUM between ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 is attributed to ~~the significant declines in both fixed income~~net new business growth and ~~equity markets experienced during 2022, which negatively impacted the market value of AUM last year and was only partially countered by~~ equity market appreciation ~~during~~experienced through the first ~~quarter~~nine months of 2023.

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

The preceding table demonstrates that WM&T fee revenue is concentrated within investment advisory and personal trust accounts. WM&T fees are predominantly based on AUM and tailored for individual/company accounts and/or relationships with fee structures customized based on account type and other factors with larger relationships paying a lower percentage of AUM in fees. For example, recurring AUM fee structures are in place for investment management, irrevocable and revocable trusts, personal investment retirement accounts and accounts holding only fixed income securities. WM&T also provides company retirement plan services, which can consist of a one-time conversion fee with recurring AUM fees to follow. While there are also fee structures for estate settlements, income received is ~~often~~typically non-recurring in nature. Fee structures are agreed upon at the time of account opening and any subsequent revisions are communicated in writing to the customer. WM&T fees earned are not performance-based nor are they based on investment strategy or transactions. Bancorp also earns management fees on in-house investments funds acquired from CB.

Managed assets are invested in instruments for which market values can be readily determined, the majority of which are sensitive to market fluctuations and consist of approximately ~~63%~~64% in equities and ~~37%~~36% in fixed income securities as of ~~both March 31,~~September 30, 2023, compared to 63% and 37% as of December 31, 2022. This composition has remained relatively consistent from period to period.

Additional Sources of Non-interest income:

Deposit service charges, which consist of non-sufficient funds charges and to a lesser extent, other activity based charges, increased ~~$286,000,~~$93,000, or ~~15%~~4%, and $519,000, or 9%, for the three and nine month ~~period~~periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, as compared with the same ~~period~~periods of ~~2022, mainly as a result of~~2022. While both organic and acquisition-related expansion drove the ~~contribution associated with acquisition-related activity over the past 12 months. Outside of acquisition-related growth,~~increases noted above, an industry-wide decline in the volume of fees earned on overdrawn checking accounts has been experienced over the past several years. This trend has been driven by lower check presentment volume, which has in turn led to fewer overdrawn accounts in general. Further, Bancorp anticipates that future growth of this revenue stream could be significantly impacted by changing industry practices. Bancorp could be faced with strategic decisions surrounding deposit-related service charges in the future, which could negatively impact the contributions made by this, or similar, revenue streams.

Debit and credit card income consists of interchange revenue, ancillary fees and incentives received from card processors. Debit and credit card revenue increased ~~$363,000~~$160,000, or 9%3%, and $487,000, or 4%, for the three and nine month ~~period~~periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, as compared with the same ~~period~~periods of ~~2022, as a result of increased transaction volume~~2022.

While Bancorp generally expects this revenue stream ~~will continue~~ to grow with ~~the~~continued expansion of the customer ~~base.~~base, interchange rate compression and any potential fluctuation in business and consumer spend levels could serve as challenges to future growth.

Treasury management fees primarily consist of fees earned for cash management services provided to commercial customers. This category continues to stand out as a consistent, growing source of revenue for Bancorp and increased $414,000, or ~~22%~~19%, and $1.2 million, or 19%, for the three ~~period~~and nine month periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, as compared with the same ~~period~~periods of 2022, driven by organic and acquisition-related expansion, increased transaction volume, growing international services and new product sales and customer base expansion.

Bancorp anticipates this income category will continue to increase based on continued customer base growth and the expanding suite of services offered within Bancorp’s treasury management platform.

Mortgage banking income primarily includes gains on sales of mortgage loans and net loan servicing income offset by MSR amortization. Bancorp’s mortgage banking department predominantly originates residential mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market, primarily to FNMA and FHLMC. Bancorp offers conventional, VA, FHA and GNMA financing for purchases and refinances, as well as programs for first-time homebuyers. Interest rates on mortgage loans directly influence the volume of business transacted by the mortgage-banking department. Mortgage banking revenue increased ~~$35,000,~~$111,000, or 3%16%, and decreased $119,000, or 4%, for the three and nine month ~~period~~periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, as compared with the same ~~period~~periods of 2022. This increase was driven by market value appreciation of loans held for sale and lower long-term rates, which have helped improve volume compared to recent quarters. Further, mortgage banking income has benefitted2022, the variances from the ~~addition~~prior year periods being attributed to changing levels of ~~the~~ mortgage ~~loan servicing portfolio added through the CB acquisition.~~volume.

Net investment product sales commissions and fees are generated primarily on stock, bond and mutual fund sales, as well as wrap fees earned on brokerage accounts. Wrap fees represent charges for investment programs that bundle together a suite of services, such as brokerage, advisory, research and management and are based on a percentage of account assets. Bancorp deploys its financial advisors primarily through its branch network via an arrangement with a third party broker-dealer, while larger managed accounts are serviced by Bancorp’s WM&T Department. Net investment product sales commissions and fees decreased $101,000, or 11%, and increased ~~$147,000,~~$115,000, or ~~24%~~5%, for the three and nine month ~~period~~periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, as compared with the same periods of 2022. The decrease for the three month period is attributed to lower trading volume compared to the third quarter of ~~2022, driven by~~the prior year, while the increase for the nine month period is attributed to organic and acquisition-related ~~growth, which included the addition of three financial advisors, and increased trading activity associated with general market volatility.~~expansion.

BOLI assets represent the cash surrender value of life insurance policies on certain active and non-active employees who have provided consent for Bancorp to be the beneficiary for a portion of such policies. The related change in cash surrender value and any death benefits received under the policies are recorded as non-interest income. This income serves to offset the cost of various employee benefits. During the third quarter of 2022, Bancorp purchased an additional $30 million of BOLI assets in an effort to diversify investment of excess liquidity, bringing total BOLI assets to ~~$85~~$86 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023. BOLI income increased ~~$283,000~~$53,000 and $625,000 for the three and nine month ~~period~~periods ending ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to the same ~~period~~periods of the prior year, which was attributed mainly to the additional prior year investment ~~made~~noted above in ~~2022, as previously noted.~~addition to general market appreciation within the policy plans during the first nine months of 2023.

~~During~~Gains and losses on the ~~first~~sale of premises and equipment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were driven by a gain on the sale of an acquired property during the third quarter and a loss recorded during the second quarter in relation to other merger-related disposal activity.

Tax credit partnerships generate federal income tax credits, and for each of Bancorp’s investments in tax credit partnerships, the tax benefit, net of related expenses, results in a positive effect on net income. Amounts of credits and corresponding expenses can vary widely depending upon the timing and magnitude of the underlying investments. Amortization expense associated with these investments increased $235,000 and $705,000 for the three and nine month ~~period~~periods ending ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to the same ~~period~~periods of last year, driven by ~~the addition of~~investment in several ~~recently closed~~larger tax credit ~~projects.~~projects during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Capital and deposit based taxes, which consist primarily of capital-based local income taxes and franchise taxes, decreased $93,000, or 13%, and increased ~~$121,000,~~$53,000, or ~~23%~~3%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022. The decrease for the three month period ~~ended March 31, 2023~~was attributed primarily to lower deposit levels compared to the ~~same~~prior year, while the increase for the nine month period ~~of 2022,~~is attributed to ~~Bancorp’s expansion over~~ the ~~past 12 months.~~prior year period only experiencing seven months of acquisition-related activity.

Intangible amortization expense consists of amortization associated with the CDI of acquired deposit portfolios, as well as an intangible related to customer list of the WM&T business line added through the CB acquisition. The intangibles are generally amortized on an accelerated basis over a period of approximately ten years. Intangible amortization expense decreased $443,000, or 28%, and $415,000, or 11%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decreases were attributed to both the accelerated depreciation method for which intangible assets are amortized, as well as the previously mentioned disposal of Bancorp’s partial interest in LFA at the end of 2022, which included writing off the related CLI effective December 31, 2022. Further, the nine month period ended ~~March 31, 2023 was $1.2 million compared to $713,000 for the same period~~September 30, 2022 only including seven months of ~~the prior year, the significant increase stemming from~~activity associated with the CB ~~acquisition.~~acquisition and the related CDI and CLI assets.

The ETR was reduced ~~1.1%~~by 0.3% for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to a reduction of ~~5.9%~~1.3% for the same period of 2022, consistent with exercise and vesting activity.

●

~~Changes in the~~The cash surrender value of life insurance policies can vary widely from period to period, driven largely by changes in the markets. The related impact is inversely correlated with the ETR generally, with cash surrender value declines typically serving to increase the ETR and vice versa. Changes in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies decreased the ETR ~~0.7%~~by 0.5% for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, compared to an increase of ~~1.8%~~0.6% the same period of the prior year.

●

Bancorp invests in certain partnerships that yield federal income tax credits. Taken as a whole, the tax benefit of these investments exceeds amortization expense, resulting in a positive impact on net income. The timing and magnitude of these transactions may vary widely from period to period. The ETR for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 was ~~increased by 0.4% and~~ reduced by ~~1.7%~~0.5% and by 0.6%, respectively, by tax credit activity.

Non-deductible merger expenses recorded during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 served to increase the ETR ~~1.1%~~0.2%. ~~No such activity was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023.~~

●

Bancorp’s insurance captive provides insurance against certain risks for which insurance may not currently be available or economically feasible to Bancorp and SYB, as well as a group of third-party insurance captives. The tax advantages of the Captive, including the tax-deductible nature of premiums paid to the Captive as well as the tax-exemption for premiums received by the Captive, serve to reduce income tax expense.

Total liabilities increased ~~$137~~$361 million, or 2%5%, to ~~$6.87~~$7.10 billion at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 from $6.74 billion at December 31, 2022. ~~While total~~The increase was attributed to a $300 million increase in FHLB borrowings ~~increased $225~~associated with funding loan growth and a $64 million increase in Other liabilities, which related to the accrual of contributions for tax credit partnerships (the offset to the increase in Other assets for tax credit investment noted above).

Further, a $31 million, or 25%, decrease in other liabilities was driven by a reduction in various year-end accruals.during the first nine months of 2023.

Stockholders’ equity increased ~~$34~~$47 million, or 4%6%, to ~~$794~~$807 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 from $760 million at December 31, 2022.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents increased ~~$150~~$26 million, or ~~89%~~15%, ending at ~~$317~~$193 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to $167 million at December 31, 2022, which was driven largely by increased FHLB borrowing ~~activity.~~activity offsetting loan funding and deposit fluctuations.

For more information on ~~this~~these interest rate ~~swap,~~swaps, see the footnote titled “Derivative Financial Instruments.”

Cash and cash equivalent growth was partially offset by loan growth of $37 million and reductions of $34 million and $29 million in total deposits and SSUAR, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2023. While growth in period end balances was experienced in comparison to December 31, 2022, average cash and cash equivalents declined $543 million, or 71%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The record levels of liquidity held near the beginning of 2022 have retreated over the past 12 months, driven by the record organic loan growth recorded in 2022 and the deposit run-off experienced over the past few quarters.

Investment Securities

Investment securities decreased ~~$17~~$152 million, or 1%9%, to ~~$1.60~~$1.47 billion at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to $1.62 billion at December 31, 2022, asdriven by scheduled maturity and pay down activity within the total portfolio ~~was partially offset by~~and a decline in the market ~~appreciation within~~value of the AFS investment portfolio ~~stemming from changes in the interest rate environment.~~specifically.

FHLB Stock

FHLB stock holdings increased $15 million to $26 million at September 30, 2023 compared to $11 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was driven by FHLB borrowing activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as FHLB members are required to hold certain levels of FHLB stock in relation to the amount of their borrowings. Bancorp’s FHLB stock holdings will fluctuate consistent with our borrowing activity from period to period.

Loans

Total loans increased ~~$37~~$411 million, or 1%8%, from December 31, 2022 to ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023. Excluding the PPP portfolio, loans grew ~~$46~~$425 million, or 1%8%, over the same period. Loan growth for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 was concentrated in the CRE and residential real estate segments, ~~which outpaced a decline in~~while the C&I segment experienced a modest increase of $15 million (excluding PPP), as the second and ~~to a lesser extent, the C&D and consumer segments.

PPP loans of ~~$10~~$5 million were outstanding at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023. Bancorp has ~~$210,000~~$96,000 in net unrecognized fees related to the PPP as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, which will be recognized immediately once the loans are paid off or forgiven by the SBA. The timing of forgiveness activity and the related fee recognition has become insignificant, as the balance of the overall PPP portfolio has shrunk.

Bancorp’s credit exposure is diversified ~~with secured~~between businesses and ~~unsecured loans to individuals and businesses.~~individuals. No specific industry concentration exceeds 10% of loans outstanding. While Bancorp has a diversified loan portfolio, a customer’s ability to honor contracts is somewhat dependent upon the economic stability and/or industry in which that customer does business. Loans outstanding and related unfunded commitments are primarily concentrated within Bancorp’s current market areas, which encompass the Louisville, Kentucky MSA, central, eastern and northern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio MSAs.

Bancorp occasionally enters into loan participation agreements with other banks to diversify credit risk. For certain participation loans sold, Bancorp has retained effective control of the loans, typically by restricting the participating institutions from pledging or selling their ownership share of the loan without permission from Bancorp. GAAP requires the participated portion of these loans to be recorded as secured borrowings. These participated loans are included in the C&I and CRE loan portfolio segments with a corresponding liability recorded in other liabilities. At ~~both March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total participated portion of loans of this nature totaled $4 million and $5 ~~million.~~million, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

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

Bancorp’s ACL for loans was ~~$76~~$78 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to $74 million as of December 31, 2022. Provision expense for credit losses on loans of ~~$2.3~~$6.7 million was recorded for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, driven ~~mainly~~ by strong loan growth, which was partially offset by improvement in unemployment forecast and a ~~$1.4 million~~reduction in specific reserve recorded for a large C&I relationship, annual CECL model updates and qualitative factor adjustments. The projected unemployment rate forecast, which is the primary loss driver within the model, improved between December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, servingreserves due to ~~benefit expense slightly.~~charge-offs. Net charge-off activity of $1.9 million was ~~minimal~~recorded for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, which was attributed largely to the charge off of a larger C&I relationship that was fully reserved for earlier in 2023.

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

The following table sets forth the ACL by category of loan:

While separate from the ACL for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, the ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures also experienced an increase between December 31, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023. Provision for credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures of ~~$375,000~~$1.1 million was recorded for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, driven ~~mainly~~ by ~~changes~~a decline in C&I utilization and increased availability stemming from the ~~mix~~addition of ~~line~~new lines of ~~credit utilization.~~credit.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are presented on the consolidated balance sheets net of related depreciation on the respective assets, as well as fair value adjustments associated with purchase accounting. Premises and equipment experienced minimal fluctuation between December 31, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023. Bancorp’s branch network currently consists of 7372 locations throughout Louisville, central, eastern and northern, Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis, Indiana and Cincinnati, Ohio markets.

Premises held for sale totaling $3$2.4 million was recorded on Bancorp’s consolidated balance sheets as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, which consists of three vacant parcels of land ~~one branch acquired from CB, one legacy SYB branch~~ and ana former administrative building, ~~acquired from KB.~~all of which are the result of merger-related activity.

Goodwill

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, Bancorp had $194 million in goodwill recorded on its balance sheet. Goodwill of $67 million was initially recorded in relation to the March 7, 2022 acquisition of CB, $8.5 million of which was subsequently written off as a result of Bancorp selling its partial interest in ~~LFA. Effective~~LFA effective December 31, ~~2022, management finalized the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities associated with the CB acquisition in advance of the 12-month post-acquisition date, as allowed by GAAP.~~2022.

~~Table of Contents~~

Events that may trigger goodwill impairment include deterioration in economic conditions, a decline in market-dependent multiples or metrics (i.e. stock price declining below tangible book value), negative trends in overall financial performance and regulatory actions. At September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, Bancorp elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying value, including goodwill. The qualitative assessment indicated that it was not more-likely-than-not that the carrying value of the reporting units exceeded their fair value.

Core Deposit and Customer List Intangibles

CDIs and CLIs arising from business acquisitions are initially measured at fair value and are then amortized on an accelerated method based on their useful lives. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Bancorp’s CDI assets totaled ~~$14.2~~$12.7 million and $15.0 million, respectively. A CDI asset of $13 million was recorded during the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the CB acquisition.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Bancorp’s CLI assets were ~~$9.6~~$8.8 million and $10.0 million, respectively, and are attributed entirely to the WM&T segment acquired from CB. CLI assets totaling $14 million were recorded in association with the CB acquisition during the first quarter of 2022. However, as a result of Bancorp’s disposition of its partial interest in LFA effective December 31, 2022, the $2 million CLI associated with that business was written off and was included in the loss recorded in relation to the disposition in 2022.

Other Assets and Other Liabilities

Other assets ~~decreased $10~~increased $112 million, or 7%83%, to ~~$125~~$247 million between December 31, 2022 ~~March 31,~~and September 30, 2023. Other liabilities ~~decreased $31~~increased $64 million, or ~~25%~~51%, to ~~$94~~$190 million over the same period.

Deposits

Total deposits ~~decreased $34~~increased $12 million, or less than 1%, from December 31, 2022 to ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, as ~~a $105 million decline in~~the shift from non-interest bearing deposits into interest-bearing deposits has been virtually offsetting. However, average total deposit balances, which experienced a $144 million, or 2%, decline for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, offer a more accurate representation of activity for the year. The decline in average total deposits was ~~partially offset~~driven by a ~~$71~~$242 million, ~~increase~~or 12% decline in ~~interest-bearing deposits, most notably time~~average non-interest bearing deposits, as customers have shifted into higher-yielding alternatives amidst rising rates and economic uncertainty. While ~~Bancorp has~~we have not ~~been immune to the resulting industry-wide deposit run-off experienced over the past several quarters,~~seen widespread fallout ~~within the~~in our overall customer base, deposit competition and a higher interest rate environment has ~~not been experienced, as~~resulted in rising deposit ~~rate increases and time deposit promotions have provided attractive alternatives for customers in addition to Bancorp’s ability to offer alternative investment options~~costs, which we anticipate will continue through the ~~WM&T~~end of 2023 and ~~retail brokerage business lines.~~into early 2024. Further, a portion of the decrease in deposits experienced during the first ~~quarter~~nine months of 2023 was attributed in large part to ~~typical seasonal~~ public funds runoff. However, deposit pricing pressure/competition has been intense as a result of rising rates and Bancorp expects it will continue to place pressure on NIM ~~throughout 2023.~~through the end of 2023 and heading into 2024.

As a result of this activity, the rates paid by Bancorp on deposits has increased and the deposit base itself has shifted to a more interest-bearing mix over the past several quarters. The cost of interest-bearing deposits rose to ~~1.22%~~1.55% for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~0.11%~~0.23% for the same period of the prior year, with the cost of total deposits (including non-interest deposits) rising to ~~0.86%~~1.11% from ~~0.08%~~0.15% for the same periods. Total average deposit balances experienced an $881 million increase for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, as deposits totaling $1.12 billion were assumed as a result of the CB acquisition during the first quarter of the prior year.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

SSUARs decreased ~~$29~~$19 million, or ~~22%~~15%, between December 31, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, ~~driven~~ largely as a result of some customers experiencing normal cyclical fluctuation in ~~tandem with the seasonal decrease in deposit balances previously noted.~~their SSUAR balances. SSUAR totaling $66 million were assumed in relation to the CB acquisition during the first quarter of 2022.

SSUAR represent a funding source of Bancorp and are ~~primarily~~ used by commercial customers in conjunction with collateralized corporate cash management accounts. Such repurchase agreements are considered financing agreements and mature within one business day from the transaction date. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of these financing arrangements had overnight maturities and were secured by government sponsored enterprise obligations and government agency mortgage-backed securities that were owned and controlled by Bancorp.

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

Federal Funds Purchased

FFP and other short-term borrowing balances increased $6$3 million, or ~~68%~~31%, between December 31, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, FFP related mainly to excess liquidity held by downstream correspondent bank customers of Bancorp.

Subordinated Debentures

As a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of the following unconsolidated trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS are treated as part of Tier 1 Capital. The subordinated note and related interest expense are included in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. The subordinated notes are currently redeemable at Bancorp’s option on a quarterly basis. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, subordinated notes added through the CB acquisition totaled $26 million.

FHLB Advances

FHLB advances outstanding at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 totaled ~~$275~~$350 million. These borrowings consisted of a ~~$175~~$150 million cash management advance with an overnight maturity utilized for short-term liquidity purposes and a ~~$100~~$200 million three-month rolling advance related to ~~a five-year~~three separate interest rate ~~swap~~swaps (cash flow ~~hedge)~~hedges) that ~~was~~have been entered into during the ~~quarter~~nine months ended September 30, 2023 in an effort to secure longer-term funding at a more attractive ~~rate.~~rates. For more information related to the interest rate ~~swap~~swaps noted above, see the footnote titled, “Derivative Financial Instruments.”

Liquidity

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

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

Bancorp’s most liquid assets are comprised of cash and due from banks, FFS and AFS debt securities. FFS and interest bearing deposits totaled ~~$229~~$113 million and $85 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The increase experienced for the first ~~three~~nine months of 2023 is attributed to mainly to the increased in FHLB ~~borrowings.~~borrowing activity. FFS normally have overnight maturities while interest-bearing deposits in banks are accessible on demand. These investments are used for general daily liquidity purposes.

~~Table of Contents~~

The fair value of the AFS debt security portfolio was ~~$1.13~~$1.02 billion and $1.14 billion at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The decrease in AFS debt security portfolio for the first ~~three~~nine months of 2023 is attributed to scheduled maturities and normal pay down activity within the portfolio ~~which was partially offset by~~in addition to market value ~~appreciation~~depreciation during the period. The investment portfolio (HTM and AFS) includes total cash flows on amortizing debt securities of approximately ~~$294~~$344 million (based on assumed prepayment speeds as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023) expected over the next 12 months, including ~~$100~~$163 million of contractual maturities. Combined with FFS and interest bearing deposits from banks, AFS debt securities offer substantial resources to meet either loan growth or reductions in Bancorp’s deposit funding base. Bancorp pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public funds, cash balances of certain WM&T accounts and SSUAR. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the total carrying value of investment securities pledged for these purposes comprised ~~48%~~47% of the debt securities portfolio, leaving approximately ~~$838~~$777 million of unpledged debt securities.

Bancorp’s deposit base consists mainly of core deposits, defined as time deposits less than or equal to $250,000, demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts, and excludes public funds and brokered deposits. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, such deposits totaled ~~$5.59~~$5.71 billion and represented ~~88%~~89% of Bancorp’s total deposits, as compared with $5.60 billion, or 88% of total deposits at December 31, 2022. Because these core deposits are less volatile and are often tied to other products of Bancorp through long lasting relationships, they do not place undue pressure on liquidity. However, given the intense, industry-wide deposit pricing pressure that is currently being experienced, deposits may generally be more sensitive to market rates, with potential decreases possibly straining Bancorp’s liquidity position.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Bancorp held brokered deposits totaling ~~$2.3 million~~$591,000 and $599,000, respectively, the majority of which is attributed to deposits added through acquisition-related activity in 2022 and 2021.

Included in total deposit balances at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 are ~~$622~~$466 million in public funds generally comprised of accounts with local government agencies and public school districts in the markets in which Bancorp operates. At December 31, 2022, public funds deposits totaled $692 million, the decrease experienced during the first ~~three~~nine months of 2023 iswas attributed largely to ~~typical seasonal deposit~~public funds run-off.

Bancorp is a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati. As a member of the FHLB, Bancorp has access to credit products of the FHLB. Bancorp views these borrowings as a potential low cost alternative to brokered deposits. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, available credit from the FHLB totaled ~~$1.15~~$1.06 billion and $1.36 billion, ~~respectively.~~respectively, the decline during this period being attributed to increased utilization of FHLB borrowings. Bancorp also had unsecured FFP lines with correspondent banks totaling $80 million at both ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

During the normal course of business, Bancorp enters into certain forms of off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. These transactions are managed through Bancorp’s various risk management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions in its evaluation of Bancorp’s liquidity.

Table of Contents

Bancorp’s principal source of cash is dividends paid to it as the sole shareholder of the Bank. As discussed in the Footnote titled “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” as of January 1st of any year, the Bank may pay dividends in an amount equal to the Bank’s net income of the prior two years less any dividends paid for the same two years. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the Bank could pay an amount equal to ~~$93~~$130 million in dividends to Bancorp without regulatory approval subject to ongoing capital requirements of the Bank.

Sources and Uses of Cash

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

~~Table of Contents~~

Commitments

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

Bancorp provides customers with off-balance sheet credit support through loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Unused loan commitments increased ~~$11~~$253 million, or 1%12%, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, ~~2022.~~2022, due to a combination of new line production and lower utilization. Total average line of credit utilization declined to ~~41.1%~~38.8% as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to 42.3% at December 31, ~~2022, however, both represent significant improvement from the pandemic-era low of 36.5% experienced at March 31, 2021.~~2022. C&I line of credit utilization was ~~30.5%~~26.8% at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to 33.1% at December 31, ~~2022 and 31.6% at March 31,~~ 2022. While utilization has improved since the pandemic-era lows experienced in early 2021, it remains well below pre-pandemic averages.

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

The ACL for off balance sheet credit exposures, which is separate from the ACL for loans and recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, was ~~$4.9~~$5.6 million and $4.5 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Provision expense of ~~$375,000~~$1.1 million was recorded for the ~~three~~nine month period ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, driven ~~mainly~~ by ~~changes~~a decline in C&I utilization and increased availability stemming from the ~~mix~~addition of ~~line~~new lines of ~~credit utilization.~~credit.

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

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

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

Capital

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, stockholders’ equity totaled ~~$794~~$807 million, representing an increase of ~~$34~~$47 million, or 5%6%, compared to December 31, 2022. The increase for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 was attributed ~~mainly~~ to recording net income of ~~$29.1~~$83.8 million, ~~and a $15 million positive change in AOCI, offset~~which was only partially offset by $9$25.8 million of dividends declared and ~~net stock compensation-related activity of $1~~a $12.4 million ~~during~~decrease in AOCI, serving to grow stockholder’s equity for the ~~first three months of 2023.~~period. AOCI consists of net unrealized gains or losses on AFS debt securities and a minimum pension liability, each net of income taxes. The changes in AOCI from December 31, 2022 to ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 were the result of changes in the interest rate environment and its corresponding impact on the valuation of the AFS debt securities portfolio. See the “Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity” for further detail of changes in equity.

Bancorp’s TCE ratio and tangible book value per share, both non-GAAP disclosures, experienced improvement between December 31, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, which stemmed largely from recording net income of ~~$29.1~~$83.8 million and to a ~~$15~~lesser extent, a $12.4 million ~~positive~~negative change in AOCI for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023. TCE was ~~7.74%~~7.69% at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to 7.44% at December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, while tangible book value per share was ~~$19.66~~$20.17 at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 compared to $18.50 at December 31, 2022. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for reconcilement of non-GAAP to GAAP measures.

In May ~~2021,~~2023, Bancorp’s Board of Directors extended its share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 1 million shares, or approximately 4% of Bancorp’s total common shares outstanding at the time. The plan, which will expire in May ~~2023~~2025 unless otherwise extended or completed at an earlier date, does not obligate Bancorp to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares prior to the plan’s expiration. Based on economic developments over the past year and the increased importance of capital preservation, no shares were repurchased in 2022, nor the first ~~three~~nine months of 2023. Approximately 741,000 shares remain eligible for repurchase under the current repurchase plan.

~~Table of Contents~~

Bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks are required by regulators to meet risk-based capital standards. These standards, or ratios, measure the relationship of capital to a combination of balance sheet and off-balance sheet risks. The value of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are adjusted to reflect credit risks. See the Footnote titled “Regulatory Matters” for additional detail regarding regulatory capital requirements, as well as capital ratios of Bancorp and the Bank. The Bank exceeds regulatory capital ratios required to be well-capitalized. Regulatory framework does not define well capitalized for holding companies. Management considers the effects of growth on capital ratios as it contemplates plans for expansion.

Capital ratios as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023 increased compared December 31, 2022, largely as a result of ~~modest~~strong operating results, which have helped buoy capital ratios amidst substantial risk-weighted asset growth ~~and strong first quarter operating results.~~within the loan portfolio. Bancorp continues to exceed the regulatory requirements for all calculations. Bancorp and the Bank intend to maintain a capital position that meets or exceeds the “well-capitalized” requirements as defined by the FRB and the FDIC, in addition to the capital conservation buffer.

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

Additionally, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, Bancorp and the Bank must hold a 2.5% capital conservation buffer composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for the Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital ratio necessary to be considered adequately-capitalized. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, the adequately-capitalized minimums, including the capital conservation buffer, were a 7.0% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, 8.5% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio and 10.5% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio.

As a result of the CB acquisition, Bancorp became the 100% successor owner of the following unconsolidated trust subsidiaries: Commonwealth Statutory Trust III, Commonwealth Statutory Trust IV and Commonwealth Statutory Trust V. The sole assets of the trust subsidiaries represent the proceeds of offerings loaned in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS are treated as part of Tier 1 Capital. The subordinated note and related interest expense are included in Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. The subordinated notes are currently redeemable at Bancorp’s option on a quarterly basis. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2023, subordinated notes added through the CB acquisition totaled $26 million.

Table of Contents

As permitted by the interim final rule issued on March 27, 2020 by the federal banking regulatory agencies, Bancorp elected the option to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital related to the adoption of ASC 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” or CECL, which was effective January 1, 2020. The initial impact of adoption of ASC 326, as well as 25% of the quarterly increases in the ACL subsequent to adoption of ASC 326 (collectively the “transition adjustments”) were delayed for two years. After two years, the cumulative amount of the transition adjustments became fixed and will be phased out of the regulatory capital calculations evenly over a three-year period, with 75% recognized in year three, 50% recognized in year four and 25% recognized in year five. After five years, the temporary regulatory capital benefits will be fully reversed. 2023 represents year four of the transition period for Bancorp. Had Bancorp not elected to defer the regulatory capital impact of CECL, the post ASC 326 adoption capital ratios of Bancorp and the Bank would still have exceeded the well-capitalized level.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

Table of Contents

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

The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, equals total non-interest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income ~~FTE~~1FTE and non-interest income. In addition to the efficiency ratio presented, Bancorp considers an adjusted efficiency ratio. Bancorp believes it is important because it provides a comparable ratio after eliminating net gains (losses) on sales, calls, and impairment of investment securities, as well as net gains (losses) on sales of premises and equipment and disposition of any acquired assets, if applicable, and the fluctuation in non-interest expenses related to amortization of investments in tax credit partnerships and non-recurring merger expenses.
