ATLANTIC CAPITAL BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and financial reporting policies of Atlantic Capital Bancshares, Inc. (“Atlantic Capital” or the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general banking industry practices. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

In management’s opinion, all accounting adjustments necessary to accurately reflect the financial position and results of operations on the accompanying financial statements have been made. These adjustments are normal and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair and accurate presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Atlantic Capital’s filingAnnual Report on Form 10-K.10‑K. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other interim periods. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES AND RECENTLY ADOPTED STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2017,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12 - “2016‑02, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities“Leases.”.” The purpose of this updated Under the new guidance, is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. ASU 2017-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, permitted. Atlantic Capital plans to adopt ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2018. The guidance requires a modified retrospective transition method resulting in the cumulative effect of the changeleases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP must be recorded on the opening balance of each affected component of equitysheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position as ofa liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing its right to use the date of adoption. Atlantic Capital does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

underlying asset for the lease term. In May 2017,July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 - “No. 2018‑10, Compensation - Stock Compensation“Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU No. 2018‑11, Leases (Topic 718)842): Scope and Modification AccountingTargeted Improvements.”  ASU No. 2018‑10 provides improvements related to ASU No. 2016‑02 to increase stakeholders’ awareness of the amendments and to expedite the improvements. The amendments affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU No. 2016‑02. ASU No. 2018‑11 allows entities adopting ASU No. 2016‑02 to choose an additional (and optional) transition method, under which an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The amendments in these updates became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The impact of adoption was recording a lease liability of approximately $18.9 million in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, a ROU asset of approximately $14.5 million in premises and equipment, and a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings, net of tax, of approximately $373,000.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326); Targeted Transition Relief.” This ASU allows entities to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016‑13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (1) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (2) are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326‑20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825‑10. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. ASU 2019‑05 has the same effective date as ASU 2016‑13 (i.e., the first quarter of 2020). The Company does not expect to elect the fair value option, and therefore, ASU 2019‑05 is not expected to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about which changes toupdate modify the terms

disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in accordance with Topic 718.adding certain disclosures. The amendments will beupdate is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU is31, 2019, with early adoption permitted for the removed disclosures and delayed adoption until fiscal year 2020 permitted for new disclosures. The removed and modified disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The adoption will not expected to have a material impacteffect on Atlantic Capital’sthe Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08 “2017‑08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20)310‑20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt SecuritiesSecurities.” .”This guidance shortens the premium amortization period for certain callable debt securities by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The standard is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on Atlantic Capital’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “2017‑04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,,” which intends to simplify goodwill impairment testing by eliminating the second step of the analysis under which the implied fair value of goodwill is determined as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. The update instead requires entities to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, to the extent that the loss recognized does not exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-042017‑04 must be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Atlantic Capital does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,”to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues: 1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; 2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; 3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; 4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; 5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; 6) distributions received from equity method investees; 7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and 8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. As this guidance only affects

the classification within the statement of cash flows, this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “2016‑13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-132016‑13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-132016‑13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-132016‑13 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 13,15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. Atlantic CapitalThe Company is implementing a software package supported by a third-party vendor. The Company’s CECL working group is meeting regularly with a CECL Management Group and the Company’s Board of Directors to discuss implementation progress and methodology selections. Progress has been made on life-of-loan loss calculations and on economic forecasting methods that will be utilized in the processmodeling process. The Company continues to refine its new methodology leading up to the adoption of evaluatingthe ASU and will continue to evaluate the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The amendments in ASU 2016-09 simplify several aspects of accounting for employee share-based payments including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some areas of the simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. The new guidance will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled and additional paid in capital pools will be eliminated. The guidance requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Companies will be required to account for forfeitures of share-based payments by recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as currently required, through an accounting policy election. The guidance will increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s income tax withholding obligation. The guidance requires an employer to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 and did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, Leases. Under the new guidance, leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP must be recorded on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. Atlantic Capital is evaluating the significance and other effects of adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-1, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.” The guidance in this update requires that equity investments (except those accounting for under the equity method of accounting) be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The guidance also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. In addition, the guidance addresses various disclosure and presentation issues related to financial instruments. For public entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early application permitted. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on Atlantic Capital’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This update is a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board initiated to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard that is meant to remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability of revenue recognition practices, provide more useful information to users of financial statements and simplify the preparation of financial statements. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For public companies, this guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Because the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities, this ASU will not have a material impact on net interest income and securities gains. Atlantic Capital completed an initial evaluation of the impact to other revenue streams such as service charges and trust income, and believes the most significant changes will be related to disclosures.

Divestiture of Branches

On December 17, 2015, Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) entered into two separate definitive agreements to sell seven branches in the Tennessee market. The agreement with First Freedom Bank included the sale of three branches located in Algood, Cookeville and Gainesboro, Tennessee for a premium of 2.25% of deposits. The agreement with Athens Federal Community Bank, N.A. included the sale of four branches in Athens, Lenoir City, Madisonville and Sweetwater, Tennessee for a premium of 3.50% of deposits. Both transactions closed in the second quarter of 2016 and resulted in a combined gain of $3.9 million as well as a reduction of approximately $191.0 million in deposits, approximately $34.7 million in loans and approximately $8.6 million in other assets. The gain was somewhat reduced by an impairment of $2.0 million in core deposit intangibles, which was offset by a $344,000 reversal in time deposit premium. There were also $305,000 of expensesliabilities associated with the divestitures included in noninterest expense inbranches sold, and were classified as held for sale on the second quarterConsolidated Balance Sheets as of 2016.December 31, 2018.

In addition to the accretable yield on PCI loans, the fair value adjustments on purchased loans outside the scope of ASC 310-30310‑30 are also accreted to interest income over the life of the loans. At September 30, 2017,2019, the remaining accretable fair value discount on loans acquired through a business combination and not accounted for under ASC 310-30310‑30 was $3.1 million$324,000 compared to $3.9$3.6 million at December 31, 2016.

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio as of the end of the period. It is comprised of specific reserves for impaired loans and a general allowance for pools of loans with similar characteristics not individually evaluated. The allowance is regularly evaluated for loan losses to maintain an adequate level to absorb probable current inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Factors contributing to the determination of the allowance include the credit worthiness of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral, and general economic conditions. Most loan commitments rated substandard or worse are specifically reviewed for loss potential. For loans deemed to be impaired, a specific allocation is assigned based on the losses expected to be realized from those loans.

The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for creditloan losses by portfolio segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016.2018.

Atlantic Capital determines the appropriate level of allowance on a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 1, “Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation” and Note 6, “Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” to the allowance for loan losses is basedConsolidated Financial Statements to the Annual Report on the incurred losses inherent in the portfolio. The loss factors are determined through the generation of probabilities of default (“PDs”) and losses given default (“LGDs”) for groups of similar loans with similar credit grades where Loss Rate = PD x LGD. The PDs and LGDsForm 10-K for the loan portfolio are calculated based on Atlantic Capital’s loss history as well as available market-based data. The loss factor for each pool of loans is adjusted based on qualitative and environmental factors to account for conditions in the current environment which management believes are likely to cause a difference between the calculated loss based on historical performance and the incurred loss in the existing portfolio. These factors include: changes in policies and procedures, changes in the economy, changes in nature or volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans, changes in lending management, changes in past dues and credit migration, changes in the loan review system, changes in the value of collateral and concentration risk and changes in external factors, such as competition, legal and regulatory. On a quarterly basis, management evaluates these factors in order to determine an adjustment unique to Atlantic Capital and its market.

Charge-offs are recognized when the amount of the loss is quantifiable and timing is known. Collateral based loan charge-offs are measured based on the difference between the loan’s carrying value, including deferred fees, and the estimated net realizable value of the loan. When assessing property value for the purpose of determining a charge-off, a third-party appraisal or an independently derived internal evaluation is generally employed.
A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and classified as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. A specific allowance is established for individually evaluated impaired loans as needed. Reserves on impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the observable market price, or the fair value of the underlying collateral of the loan if the loan is collateral dependent.

Atlantic Capital’s policy is to place loans on nonaccrual status, when, in the opinion of management, the principal and interest on a loan is not likely to be repaid in accordance with the loan terms or when the loan becomes 90 days past due and is not both well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is classified on nonaccrual status, interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current interest revenue. Principal and interest payments received on a nonaccrual loan are applied to reduce outstanding principal.
PCI loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. Loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 were not classified as nonaccrual at September 30, 2017 oryear ended December 31, 2016, as the carrying value2018, for a description of the respective loan or pool of loans’ cash flows were considered estimable and collection was probable. Therefore, interest revenue, through accretion of the difference between the carrying value of the loans and the expected cash flows (accretable yield), is being recognized on all acquired loans being accounted for under ASC 310-30.

Atlantic Capital individually rates loans based on internal credit risk ratings using numerous factors, including thorough analysis of historical and expected cash flows, consumer credit risk scores (FICO scores), rating agency information, LTV ratios, collateral, collection experience, and other internal metrics. Atlantic Capital uses a dual rating system. The likelihood of default of a credit transaction is graded in the Obligor Rating. The risk of loss given default is graded in the Facility Rating. The Obligor Rating is determined through credit analysis. Facility Ratings are used to describe the value to the Company that the collateral represents. Facility Ratings are based on the collateral package or market expectations regarding the value orand liquidity of the collateral. Ratings are generally reviewed at least annually or more frequently if there is a material change in creditworthiness. Exceptions to this policy may include well collateralized term loans and loans to individuals with limited exposure or complexity.

Atlantic Capital uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass: Loans that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process and that do not meet the criteria of special mention, substandard or doubtful.

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that requires management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

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 liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

The above sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the amounts indicate, changes in fair value based on valuation assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE


Basic earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the dilutive effects of the shares awarded under the stock option plan, based on the treasury stock method using an average fair market value of the stock during the respective periods.

These awards were considered anti-dilutive because the exercise price of the award was higher than the market value of the shares.

The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Atlantic Capital which were approved by the Board of Directors on March 24, 2015 and by Atlantic Capital’s shareholders on May 21, 2015, authorize Atlantic Capital to issue 110,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, no par value per share, and 100,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, no par value per share.

At September 30, 2017, 25,716,4182019, 22,193,761 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2016, 25,093,1352018, 25,290,419 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

The primary source of funds available to Atlantic Capital is payments of dividends from the Bank. The Bank has not paid any dividends totaling $10.0 million and $36.5 million to Atlantic Capital in 2017during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. No dividends were paid by the Bank during the three or 2016.nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Bank paid a dividend totaling $30.0 million. Banking laws and other regulations limit the amount of dividends a bank subsidiary may pay without prior regulatory approval. Additionally, Atlantic Capital’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders will depend on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to Atlantic Capital. The Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions on the payment of cash dividends, which generally may be paid only from current earnings.

On November 14, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $85 million of its issued and outstanding common stock. The timing and amounts of any repurchases depend on certain factors, including but not limited to market conditions and prices, available funds and alternative uses of capital. The stock repurchase program may be carried out through open-market purchases, block trades, negotiated private transactions and pursuant to a trading plan that was adopted in accordance with Rule 10b‑18 and Rule 10b5‑1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Atlantic Capital repurchased 1,164,063 and 3,242,579 shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 for a total of $20.1 million and $56.7 million, respectively. Since the announcement of the $85.0 million buyback program in November of 2018, Atlantic Capital has repurchased 4.1 million shares totaling $70.9 million.

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

Risk Management

Atlantic Capital’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to net interest revenue and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective,these objectives, Atlantic Capital primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.

Cash Flow Hedges

At September 30, 2017,2019, Atlantic Capital’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the payment of floating-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for receiving fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. At September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, Atlantic Capital had interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amountamounts of $75.0$175.0 million and $50.0$100.0 million, respectively.

No hedge ineffectiveness gains or losses were recognized on active cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016.2018. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Atlantic Capital expects that approximately $237,000$230,000 will be reclassified as an increase to loan interest income over the next twelve months related to these cash flow hedges.

Customer Swaps

Atlantic Capital also enters into derivative contracts, which consist of interest rate swaps, to facilitate the needs of clientscustomers desiring to manage interest rate risk. These swaps are not designated as accounting hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. In order toTo economically hedge the interest rate risk associated with offering this product, Atlantic Capital simultaneously enters into derivative contracts with third parties to offset the customer contracts, such that Atlantic Capital minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. The derivative contracts are structured such that the notional amounts reduce over time to generally match the expected amortization of the underlying loans. These derivatives are not speculative and arise from a service provided to clients.

Atlantic Capital’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in other assets and accrued interest receivable and other liabilities and accrued interest payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized in other noninterestderivatives income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. At September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, Atlantic Capital had interest rate swaps related to this program with an aggregate notional amount of $139.1$92.5 million and $140.7$109.5 million, respectively.

Atlantic Capital acquired a loan level hedging program, which First Security Group, Inc. (“First Security”) utilized to accommodate clients preferring a fixed rate loan. The loan documents include an addendum with a zero premium collar. The zero premium collar is a cap and a floor at the same interest rate, resulting in a fixed rate to the borrower. To hedge this embedded option, First Security entered into a dealer facing trade exactly mirroring the terms in the loan addendum.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Atlantic Capital had interest rate swaps related to this program with an aggregate notional amount of $150.4 million and $166.8 million, respectively.

Counterparty Credit Risk

As a result of its derivative contracts, Atlantic Capital is exposed to credit risk. Specifically approved counterparties and exposure limits are defined. On a quarterly basis,Quarterly, the customer derivative contracts and related counterparties are evaluated for credit risk and an adjustment is made to the contract’s fair value. This adjustment is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Most derivative contracts with clients are secured by collateral. Additionally, in accordance with the interest rate agreements with derivatives dealers, Atlantic Capital may be required to post margin to these counterparties. At

24

September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, Atlantic Capital had minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and posted collateral of $9.5$14.3. million and $16.3$5.1 million, respectively, against its obligations under these agreements. Cash collateral related to derivative contracts is recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Atlantic Capital has master netting agreements with the derivatives dealers with which it does business, but reflects gross assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In conjunction with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, management made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis.

To accommodate clients, Atlantic Capital occasionally enters into credit risk participation agreements with counterparty banks to accept a portion of the credit risk related to interest rate swaps. This allows clients to execute an interest rate swap with one bank while allowing for distribution of the credit risk among participating members. Credit risk participation agreements arise when Atlantic Capital contracts with other financial institutions, as a guarantor, to share credit risk associated with certain interest rate swaps. These agreements provide for reimbursement of losses resulting from a third party default on the underlying swap. At September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, Atlantic Capital had credit risk participation agreements with a notional amount of $15.6$8.1 million and $4.5$9.5 million, respectively.


The following table reflects the estimated fair value positions of derivative contracts and credit risk participation agreements as of September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016:2018:

NOTE 13 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Atlantic Capital sponsors a stock incentive plan for the benefit of directors and employees. Under the Company’s 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and restated effective May 16, 2018), there were approximately 4,525,000 shares reserved for issuance to directors and employees. The Compensation Committee has the authority to grant the following: an incentive or nonqualified option; a restricted stock award (including a restricted stock award or a restricted unit award); a performance award (including a performance share award or a performance unit award); a phantom stock award; a dividend equivalent award; or any other award granted under the plan.

As of September 30, 2017,2019, approximately 3,825,0003,345,000 additional awards were available to be granted under the plan. Stock options are granted at a price which is no less than the fair market value of a share of Atlantic Capital common stock on the grant date. Stock options generally vest over three years and expire after ten years.

As of September 30, 2017, no warrants were outstanding for the purchase of common stock. As of December 31, 2016, warrants for 363,000 shares were outstanding for the purchase of common stock at a price of $10.00 per warrant. The warrants were issued as of May 14, 2007, the date of issuance of common stock sold in the initial private placement, and were exercisable for a period of ten years following the issuance.

The Company estimates the fair value of its options and warrants awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option and warrant is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The table below summarizes the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted/modified during 2017:the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Atlantic Capital recognized compensation expense relating to stock options of $191,000$18,000 and $472,000$151,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, respectively, and $192,000$70,000 and $638,000$167,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2018, respectively. Using the Black-Scholes pricing model, the amount of compensation expense was determined based on the fair value of the options at the time of grant, multiplied by the number of options granted that were expected to vest, which was then amortized over the vesting period.

In April 2018, the Company granted performance share awards to members of executive management under Atlantic Capital’s Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). The Company also granted restricted stock awards to certain employees and directors in 2019 under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company modified 4,719 restricted stock awards. The modifications are included as shares granted/modified and as shares forfeited in this table.

Compensation expense for restricted stock is based on the fair value of restricted stock awards at the time of grant, which is equal to the value of Atlantic Capital’s common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense for performance share awards is based on the fair value of Atlantic Capital’s stock at the grant date adjusted for market conditions, as well as the subsequent achievement of performance conditions over the vesting period. The value of restricted stock and performance share grants that are expected to vest is amortized into expense over the vesting period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019 and 2018, compensation expense of $396,000$454,000 and $869,000,$444,000, respectively, was recognized related to restricted stock and performance share awards. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2019 and 2018, compensation expense of $71,000$1.2 million and $527,000,$1.3 million respectively, was recognized related to restricted stock and performance share awards.

As of September 30, 2017,2019, there was $3.0$2.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards granted under the plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.112.27 years.

During the threenine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, the Company modified options for 30,40012,500 shares and 10,6284,719 restricted stock awards to fourtwo individuals. The modifications allowed for the immediate vesting of the awards upon terminationretirement, as

28

defined in the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan. The total incremental cost resulting from the modifications was $14,000$31,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

NOTE 14 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


Atlantic Capital follows the guidance pursuant to ASC 820-10,820‑10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This issuance applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances. Atlantic Capital measures its investment securities and interest rate derivative assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis either when assets are evaluated for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Atlantic Capital measures its servicing assets, goodwill, intangible assets, SBIC investments, loans held for sale, impaired loans and other real estate owned at fair value on a nonrecurring basis if necessary.


The guidance emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and defines fair value as the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, this guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).


Atlantic Capital applied the following fair value hierarchy:


Level 1 – Assets or liabilities for which the identical item is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly-traded instruments or futures contracts.


Level 2 – Assets or liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.


Level 3 – Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market, instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally-developed, and risk premiums that a market participant would require.


In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 or Level 2 and Level 3 during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017. There was one transfer between Level 22019 and Level 3 and no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.


2018.

Atlantic Capital records investment securities available-for-sale at fair value on a recurring basis. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, Atlantic Capital obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. In estimating the fair values for investment securities, Atlantic Capital believes that independent third-party market prices are the best evidence of an exit price. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the Treasury Department yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the securities’ terms and conditions, among other things.


Derivative instruments are primarily transacted as over-the-counter trades and priced with observable market assumptions. Ongoing measurements include observable market assumptions with appropriate valuation adjustments for liquidity and for credit risk of counterparties and Atlantic Capital’s own credit. For these instruments, Atlantic Capital obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider factors such as the likelihood of default by Atlantic Capital and its counterparties, total exposure and remaining maturities in determining the appropriate fair value adjustments to record. Generally, the expected loss of each client counterparty is estimated using Atlantic Capital’s internal risk rating system. For financial institution counterparties that are rated by national rating agencies, those

29

ratings are used in determining the credit risk. This approach used to estimate exposures to counterparties is also used by Atlantic Capital to estimate its own credit risk on derivative liability positions.



Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis


The following table presents the assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016.2018.

Level 3 loans consist of impaired loans which have been partially charged-off or have specific valuation allowances. The fair value of Level 3 assets is estimated based on the underlying collateral value. For loans which the cash proceeds from the sale of the underlying collateral is the expected source of repayment, the fair value of these loans was derived from internal estimates of the underlying collateral incorporating market data, including third party appraisals or evaluations, when available. Appraised values may be discounted based on management’s assessment of the level of inactivity in the real estate market and other markets for the underlying collateral, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and other information that in management’s judgment may affect the value. Impaired loans are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis and adjusted accordingly.


Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value


For financial instruments that have quoted market prices, those quotes are used to determine fair value. Financial instruments that have no defined maturity, have a remaining maturity of 180 days or less, or reprice frequently to a market rate, are assumed to have a fair value that approximates the reported book value, after taking into consideration any applicable credit risk. If no market quotes are available, financial instruments are valued by discounting the expected cash flows using an estimated current market interest rate for the financial instrument. For loans held for investment, fair value is measured using the exit price notion. For off-balance sheet derivative instruments, fair value is estimated as the amount that Atlantic Capital would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date, taking into account the current unrealized gains or losses on open contracts.


The short maturity of Atlantic Capital’s assets and liabilities results in having a significant number of financial instruments whose fair value equals or closely approximates carrying value. Such financial instruments are reported in the following balance sheet captions: cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, other short-term investments, and FHLB stock. The fair value of securities available-for-sale equals the balance sheet value.quoted market prices, if available.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated used quoted market prices for similar securities or dealer quotes. Due to the short-term settlement of accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying amount closely approximates fair value.


Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect the premium or discount on any particular financial instrument that could result from the sale of Atlantic Capital’s entire holdings. Because no ready market exists for a significant portion of Atlantic Capital’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments. These estimates are subjective in nature, and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.


Off-balance sheet financial instruments (commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit) are generally short-term and at variable rates. Therefore, both the carrying amount and the estimated fair value associated with these instruments are immaterial.

NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Atlantic Capital is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, most of which are standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement Atlantic Capital has in particular classes of financial instruments.

Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by Atlantic Capital to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Most letters of credit expire in less than one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Atlantic Capital’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Atlantic Capital uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Atlantic Capital’s maximum exposure to credit risk for unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit at September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 20162018 was as follows:

The Company also had commitments related to investments in SBICs totaling $2.9 million and $3.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

From time to time, Atlantic Capital, in the normal course of business, is subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, or the range of any possible loss, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising from these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on Atlantic Capital’s financial position or results of operations.


NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTSREVENUE RECOGNITION

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014‑09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. As stated in Note 2, Accounting Standards Updates and Recently Adopted Standards, the implementation of the new standard did not result in any significant changes to the Company’s methodology of recognizing revenue; as such, the Company recorded an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment to first quarter 2018 opening retained earnings. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under Topic 605.

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with financial guarantees and derivatives are not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as service charges on deposit accounts and trust and asset management income. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change


33

On October 25, 2017,

significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges represent general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity, or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is completed which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed, such as a wire transfer or ATM withdrawal. Payment for such performance obligations are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied. The following table presents service charges by type of service provided for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Trust and Asset Management

Trust and asset management income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered. During the second quarter of 2018, Atlantic Capital entered intosold its trust business, Southeastern Trust Company.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Separation Agreement providesCompany’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

NOTE 17 – LEASES

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for benefits toa period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016‑02 “Leases” (Topic 842) and imposes obligations upon Mr. Kramer. Specifically, Mr. Kramerall subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. For the Company, Topic 842 primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is entitled to receive the following paymentslessee.

Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating lease ROU assets and benefits underoperating lease liabilities, included in premises and equipment and other liabilities, respectively, on the Separation Agreement:

all accrued but unpaid base salary through December 22, 2017;
a cash payment of $407,265,Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not currently have any significant finance leases in which represents one (1) times his base salary;
a cash payment of $183,269, which represents one (1) times his target bonus opportunity, underit is the lessee.

Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s Executive Officer Short Term Incentive Plan (the “STI Plan”) for 2017;

right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a cash payment of $150,000, whichdiscount rate that represents the pro-rata portionCompany’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. ROU assets are further adjusted for lease incentives. Operating lease expense, which is comprised of his STI Plan bonus opportunity deemed earnedamortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recorded in net occupancy expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company’s leases relate primarily to office space and bank branches with remaining lease terms of generally 1 to 12 years. Certain lease arrangements contain extension options which typically range from 5 to 10 years at the then fair market rental rates. As these extension options are not generally considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are not included in the lease term. Portions of certain properties are subleased for 2017;

terms extending through 2024. As of September 30, 2019, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were $9.9 million and $13.9 million, respectively. The Company elected not to include short-term leases (i.e., leases with initial terms of twelve months or less) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the Company elected, for all classes of underlying assets, not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for them as a cash payment of $612,883, which represents accrued awards deemed earned undersingle lease component.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q10‑Q of Atlantic Capital Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company” or “Atlantic Capital”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would,” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of Atlantic Capital are in accordance with GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Atlantic Capital’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in Atlantic Capital’s consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations. The more critical accounting and reporting policies include Atlantic Capital’s accounting for the allowance for loan losses, fair value measurements, and income tax related items. Significant accounting policies are discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Atlantic Capital’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

This Form 10-Q10‑Q contains non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. Atlantic Capital management uses non-GAAP financial measures, including: (i) taxable equivalent interest income; (ii) taxable equivalent net interest income; (iii) taxable equivalent net interest margin; (iv) taxable equivalent net interest income from continuing operations; (v) taxable equivalent net interest margin from continuing operations (vi) net interest income after provision for loan losses-taxable equivalent; (v)(vii) income before income taxes-taxable equivalent; and (vi)(viii) income tax expense-taxable

equivalent. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they provide a greater understanding of ongoing performance and operations, enhance comparability with prior periods, and provide users of our financial information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial results and credit trends. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Investors should consider Atlantic Capital’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures is included in Table 1.

Interest revenue on tax-exempt securities has been increased to reflect comparable interest on taxable securities. The rate used was 21%, reflecting the statutory federal income tax rate.

(2)

Taxable equivalent net interest income divided by total interest-earning assets using the appropriate day count convention based on the type of interest-earning asset.

The following table shows the relative effect on taxable equivalent net interest income for changes in the average outstanding amounts (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the rates earned and paid on such assets and liabilities (rate). Variances resulting from a combination of changes in rate and volume are allocated in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each category.

Provision for Loan Losses

Management considers a number of factors in determining the required level of the allowance for loan losses and the provision required to achieve what is believed to be appropriate reserve level, including historical loss experience, loan growth, credit risk rating trends, nonperforming loan levels, delinquencies, loan portfolio concentrations, and economic and market trends. The provision for loan losses represents management’s determination of the amount necessary to be charged against the current period’s earnings to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that it considered adequate in relation to the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017,2019, the provision for loan losses from continuing operations was $322,000,$413,000, a decrease of $141,000, or 30%,$432,000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016.2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, the provision for loan losses from continuing operations was $2.9$1.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 83%,$481,000 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2018.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was driven mainly by the decrease in non-deductible merger expenses in 2017 compared to 2016, excess benefit related to stock compensation in 2017 compared to 2016, and the increase in non-taxable income on municipal securities purchased throughout the latter half of 2016 and beginning of 2017.

2018.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax basis including operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Net deferred tax assets (deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowance) are reported in the consolidated balance sheetConsolidated Balance Sheets as a component of totalother assets.

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard. The determination of whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is appropriate is subject to considerable judgment and requires an evaluation of all positive and negative evidence with more weight given to evidence that can be objectively verified. Each quarter, management considers both positive and negative evidence and analyzes changes in near-term market conditions as well as other factors which may impact future operating results.

Based on all evidence considered, as of September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset would be realized, except as outlined in the following discussion. At September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, Atlantic Capital hadrecorded a deferred tax asset valuation allowance totaling $9.2$6.8 million and $9.0$8.5 million, respectively, on certain net operating loss carryforwards due to the fact that certain tax attributes are subject to an annual limitation as a result of the acquisition of First Security in 2015, which constituted a change of ownership as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Management expects to generate higher levels of future taxable income and believes this will allow for full utilization of Atlantic Capital’s remaining net operating loss carryforwards within the statutory carryforward periods.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, and other real estate owned. Loans are considered to be past due when payment is not received from the borrower by the contractually specified due date. Interest accruals on loans are discontinued when interest or principal has been in default 90 days or more, unless the loan is both secured by collateral that is sufficient to repay the debt in full and the loan is in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accrued and not paid in the current accounting period is reversed against current period income. Interest accrued and not paid in prior periods, if significant, is reversed against the allowance for loan losses.

Income on such loans is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the future collection of principal is deemed probable or after all principal payments are received. Commercial loans are placed back on accrual status after sustained performance of timely and current principal and interest payments and it is probable that all remaining amounts due, both principal and interest, are fully collectible according to the terms of the loan agreement. Residential loans and consumer loans are generally placed back on accrual status when they are no longer past due.

50

Purchased Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans accounted for under ASC 310-30310‑30 are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. However, these loans are considered as performing, even though they may be contractually past due, as any non-payment of contractual principal or interest is considered in the periodic re-estimation of expected cash flows and is included in the resulting recognition of current period covered loan loss provision or future period yield adjustments. PCI loans totaling $1.1 million were not classified as nonaccrual at September 30, 2017for periods ended prior to December 31, 2018, as the carrying value of the respective loan or pool of loans cash flows were considered estimable and collection was probable. Therefore, interest revenue, through accretion of the difference between the carrying value of the loans and the expected cash flows, is beingwas recognized on all PCI loans.

As of December 31, 2018, PCI loans were designated as held-for-sale and subsequently sold in the Branch Sale.

At September 30, 2017,2019, Atlantic Capital’s nonperforming assets totaled $6.0$7.0 million, or 0.23%0.29% of total assets, compared to $3.5$6.1 million, or 0.13%0.20% of total assets, at December 31, 2016.2018. The increase was primarily due to the Bank placing two loan relationships totaling $2.4 millionthat were placed on nonaccrual status.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

TDRs

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) are selectively made to provide relief to customers experiencing liquidity challenges or other circumstances that could affect their ability to meet their debt obligations. Typical modifications include short-term deferral of interest or modification of payment terms. Nonperforming TDRs are not accruing interest and are included as nonperforming assets within nonaccrual loans. TDRs which are accruing interest based on the restructured terms are considered performing. Table 8 summarizes TDRs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company restructured via bankruptcy one commercial real estate SBA loan, resulting in its reclassification as a TDR. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, restructurings included modifications such as payment deferrals and interest only forbearance.

Potential Problem Loans

Management identifies and maintains a list of potential problem loans. These are loans that are internally risk graded special mention or below but which are not included in nonaccrual status and are not past due 90 days or more. A loan is added to the potential problem list when management becomes aware of information about possible credit problems of the borrower which raises serious doubts as to the ability of such borrower to comply with the current loan repayment terms. Potential problem loans totaled $61.9$52.5 million and $47.6$58.2 million respectively, as of September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016. As a number of potential problem loans are real estate secured, management2018, respectively. Management closely tracks the financial performance of the borrower and the current values of real estate collateral when assessing the collectability of these loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

At September 30, 2017,2019, the allowance for loan losses totaled $18.9$18.0 million, or 0.99%0.98% of loans, compared to $20.6$17.9 million, or 1.04%1.03% of loans, at December 31, 2016.2018. The decreaseincrease in the allowance was primarily related to the $3.3 million charge-off of aan increase in outstanding loan relationship and the reversal of thebalances as well as an increase in specific reserve.

Net charge-offs for the third quarterthree months ended September 30, 2019 were $519,000 and a net recovery of 2017 and 2016 were $3.3 million and $306,000, respectively. For$15,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019 and 2018 were $1.7 million and $345,000, respectively. The increase related primarily to three charge-offs in 2019: a $330,000 net charge-off for a Tennessee commercial and industrial loan not included in the Branch Sale and two net charge-offs totaled $4.7 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2016.on commercial and industrial SBA loans totaling $1.0 million.

Investment Securities

Investment

Investment securities available-for-sale totaled $447.0$329.6 million at September 30, 2017,2019, compared to $347.7$402.5 million at December 31, 2016. Atlantic Capital purchased $121.4 million in available-for-sale2018. Held-to-maturity securities during the first quarter of 2017, as a response to the decrease in mortgage warehouse participations.are carried at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are reported at their aggregate fair value, and unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes. As of September 30, 2017,2019, investment securities available-for-sale had a net unrealized lossgain of $3.2$3.7 million, compared to a net unrealized loss of $9.6$11.8 million as of December 31, 2016. Market changes2018. Changes in interest rates and credit spreads result in temporary unrealized losses as the market price of securities fluctuate. After evaluating the securities with unrealized losses, management concluded that no other than temporaryother-than-temporary impairment existed as of September 30, 2017.

2019.

Changes in the amount of Atlantic Capital’s available-for-sale securities portfolio result primarily from balance sheet trends including loans, deposit balances, and short-term borrowings. When inflows arising from deposits and short-term borrowings exceed loan demand, Atlantic Capital invests excess funds in the securities portfolio or in short-term investments. Conversely, when loan demand exceeds growth in deposits and short-term borrowings, Atlantic Capital allows interest-bearing balances with

53

other banks to decline and uses proceeds from maturing or sold securities to fund loan demand. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company purchased $42.9 million in held-to-maturity municipal securities, in order to extend the duration of the securities portfolio, as well as to reduce the asset sensitivity of the balance sheet.

Details of investment securities at September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 20162018 are provided in Table 10.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Atlantic Capital’s core deposit intangible representing the value of the acquired deposit base, is an amortizing intangible asset that is required to be tested for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. There were no events or circumstances that led management to believe that any impairment existed at September 30, 2017 in Atlantic Capital’s other intangible assets.

Goodwill represents the premium paid for acquired companies above the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including separately identifiable intangible assets. Atlantic Capital evaluates its goodwill annually, or more frequently if necessary, to determine if any impairment exists. Factors that management considers in this assessment includes macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the Company, and changes in the composition or carrying amount of net assets. Management concluded that the 2018 annual qualitative impairment assessment indicated that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value (including goodwill).

On April 5, 2019, the Bank completed the Branch Sale. In accordance with GAAP, Atlantic Capital allocated a proportionate share of its goodwill balance to the discontinued operations on a relative fair value basis and performed an impairment test for the goodwill remaining in the reporting unit to be retained. This impairment analysis of goodwill remaining in the retained reporting unit resulted in no impairment. The Company monitored events from the date of the assessment through September 30, 2019 and no events or circumstances led management to believe any impairment existed at the balance sheet date.

Atlantic Capital’s core deposit intangible representing the value of the acquired deposit base, was an amortizing intangible asset that was required to be tested for impairment only when events or circumstances indicated that impairment may exist. This core deposit intangible was fully amortized in the second quarter of 2019 as a result of the Branch Sale.

Short-Term Borrowings

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, balances of federal funds purchased were $57.0 million and $0, respectively. There were no securities sold under repurchase agreements with commercial checking customers or balances of federal funds purchasedtotaling $0 and $6.2 million as of September 30, 2017 or2019 and December 31, 2016.

2018, respectively. This balance was classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018.

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), Atlantic Capital has the ability to acquire short and long-term advances through a blanket agreement secured by our unencumbered qualifying 1-41‑4 family first mortgage loans and by pledging investment securities or individual, qualified loans, subject to approval of the FHLB. At September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, Atlantic Capital had FHLB advances of $125.0$76.0 million and $110.0 million,$0, respectively. The balance of FHLB borrowings increased due to an increase in short-term funding needs.

Long-Term Debt

During the third quarter of 2015, Atlantic Capital issued $50.0 million in fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due in 2025, and callable on September 30, 2020, all of which waswere outstanding at September 30, 2017.

Liquidity risk management


Risk Management

Liquidity risk is the risk that an institution will be unable to generate or obtain sufficient funding, at a reasonable cost, to meet operational cash needs and to take advantage of revenue producing opportunities as they arise. Other forms of liquidity risk include market constraints on the ability to convert assets into cash at expected levels, an inability to access funding sources at sufficient levels at a reasonable cost, and changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operational, legal, and reputation risks that can affect an institution’s liquidity risk profile. Liquidity management involves maintaining Atlantic Capital’s ability to meet the daily cash flow requirements of Atlantic Capital’s customers, both depositors and borrowers.

Atlantic Capital utilizes various measures to monitor and control liquidity risk across three different types of liquidity:

·

tactical liquidity measures the risk of a negative cash flow position whereby cash outflows exceed cash inflows over a short-term horizon;

contingent liquidity utilizes cash flow stress testing across three crisis scenarios to determine the adequacy of Atlantic Capital’s liquidity.

Atlantic Capital aims to maintain a diverse mix of existing and potential liquidity sources to support the liquidity management function. At its core is a reliance on the customer deposit book, due to the low cost it offers. Other sources of liquidity include asset-based liquidity in the form of cash and unencumbered securities, as well as access to wholesale funding from external counterparties, primarily advances from the FHLB of Atlanta, Federal Fundsfederal funds lines and other borrowing facilities. Atlantic Capital aims to avoid funding concentrations by diversifying external secured and unsecured funding with respect to maturities, counterparties and nature. At September 30, 2017,2019, management believesbelieved that Atlantic Capital had sufficient on-balance sheet liquidity to meet its funding needs.

On April 5, 2019, the Bank completed the Branch Sale. FirstBank assumed deposits and customer repurchase agreements of approximately $598 million and purchased approximately $385 million in loans and $12 million in other assets. Since Atlantic Capital divested a larger amount of deposits than assets, it made a cash payment of approximately $167 million to FirstBank at the closing of the Branch Sale. The Company restructured the balance sheet following the Branch Sale with a combination of excess cash, proceeds from sold securities, FHLB borrowings, and brokered deposits.

At September 30, 2017,2019, Atlantic Capital had access to $375.0$438.0 million in unsecured borrowings and $695.2$592.7 million in secured borrowings through various sources.sources, including FHLB advances and access to Federal Funds. Atlantic Capital also has the ability to attract more retail deposits by offering aggressively pricedincreasing rates.

As of September 30, 2019, Atlantic Capital continuescontinued to exceed minimum capital standards and the Bank remainsremained “well-capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

In July 2013, bank regulatory agencies approved the Basel III capital guidelines, which are aimed at strengthening existing capital requirements for bank holding companies through a combination of higher minimum capital requirements, new capital conservation buffers and more conservative definitions of capital and balance sheet exposure. Atlantic Capital and the Bank became subject to the requirements of Basel III effective January 1, 2015, subject to a transition period providing for full compliance after January 1, 2019 for several aspects of the rule.

Under the revised rules, Atlantic Capital’s common equity tier 1 ratio was 11.3% at September 30, 2017, exceeding the fully phased-in minimum of 7.0%, which includes the 2.5% minimum capital conservation buffer.

Management continues to monitor Basel III developments and remains committed to managing Atlantic Capital’s capital levels in a prudent manner.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Atlantic Capital makes contractual commitments to extend credit and issues standby letters of credit in the ordinary course of its business activities. These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. In addition to commitments to extend credit, Atlantic Capital also issues standby letters of credit which are assurances to a third party that it will not suffer a loss if the customer fails to meet a contractual obligation to the third party. At September 30, 2017,2019, Atlantic Capital had issued commitments to extend credit of approximately $686.7$679.7 million and standby letters of credit of approximately $13.7$7.6 million through various types of commercial lending arrangements.

Based on historical experience, many of the commitments and letters of credit will expire unfunded. Through its various sources of liquidity, Atlantic Capital believes it will be able to fund these obligations as they arise. Atlantic Capital evaluates each customer’s


credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on Atlantic Capital’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and commercial and residential real estate.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes in Atlantic Capital’s contractual obligations at September 30, 20172019 compared to December 31, 2016.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Effective risk management is critical to Atlantic Capital’s success. The Dodd-Frank Act requires that bank holding companies with total assets in excess of $10 billion establish an enterprise-wide risk committee consisting of members of its board of directors. Although Atlantic Capital does not have total assets in excess of $10 billion, the Bank’s board of directors has an Audit and Risk Committee that, among other responsibilities, provides oversight of enterprise-wide risk management activities. The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the Bank’s activities in identifying, measuring, and mitigating existing and emerging risks (including credit, liquidity, interest-rate, compliance, operational, strategic, and reputational risks).risks.) The committee monitors management’s execution of risk management practices in accordance with the board of directors’ risk appetite, of the Bank, reviews supervisory examination reports together with management’s response to such examinations and discusses legal matters that may have a material impact on the financial statements or Atlantic Capital’s compliance policies. With guidance from and oversight by the Audit and Risk Committee, management continually refines and enhances its risk management policies and procedures to maintain effective risk management programs and processes.

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk is the risk of not collecting payments pursuant to the contractual terms of loans, leases, investment securities, and investment securities.derivative instruments. Atlantic Capital’s independent creditloan review function conducts risk reviews and analyses of loans to help assure compliance with credit policies and to monitor asset quality trends.The risk reviews include portfolio analysis by industry, collateral type and product. Atlantic Capital has implemented policies and procedures designedstrives to identify potential problem loans as early as

possible, to record charge-offs or write-downs as appropriate and to maintain adequate allowances for loan losses that are inherent in the loan portfolio.

Market Risk Management

Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from adverse changes in market priceprices and interest rates. This risk of loss can be reflected in diminished current market values and/or reduced potential netnets interest income in future periods. Atlantic Capital’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in Atlantic Capital’s lending and deposit-taking activities. The structure of Atlantic Capital’s loan and deposit portfolios is such that a significant decline in interest rates may adversely impact net market values and net interest income. Atlantic Capital does not maintain a trading account nor is Atlantic Capital subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Interest rate risk results principally from assets and liabilities maturing or repricing at different points in time, from assets and liabilities repricing at the same point in time but in different amounts and from short-term and long-term interest rates changing in different magnitudes. Market interest rates also have an impact on the interest rate and repricing characteristics of loans that are originated as well as the rate characteristics of interest-bearing liabilities.

Atlantic Capital assesses interest rate risk by forecasting net interest income under various interest rate scenarios and comparing those results to forecasted net interest income assuming stable rates. Atlantic Capital’s rate shock simulation, as of September 30, 2017, indicates that, over a 12-month period, net interest income is estimated to increase by 13.74% withWith rates rising, 200-basis points. Thethe estimated increase in net interest income is primarily due to the short-term repricing characteristics of the loan portfolio, combined with a favorable funding mix. Atlantic Capital’s loan portfoliobook consists mainly of floating rate loans. Atlantic Capital’s core client deposits are likely to allow Atlantic Capital to lag short termshort-term interbank rate indices when pricing deposits. Transaction accounts comprise a significant amount of Atlantic Capital’s total deposits.

Table 14 provides the impact on net interest income resulting from various interest rate shock scenarios as of September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016.2018.

Atlantic Capital also utilizes the market value of equity (“MVE”) as a tool in measuring and managing interest rate risk. Long-termLong-term interest rate risk exposure is measured using the MVE sensitivity analysis to study the impact of long-term cash flows on capital. As of September 30, 2017, the MVE calculated with a 200-basis point shock up in rates decreased by (1.41)% from the base case MVE value. Table 15 presents the MVE profile as of September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016.2018.

(c)          On November 14, 2018, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $85 million of its issued and outstanding common stock. The repurchase program commenced immediately with respect to $40 million of stock. In September 2019, the Bank received regulatory approval to pay a dividend of $20 million to Atlantic Capital.

The stock repurchase program may be carried out through open-market purchases, block trades, negotiated private transactions and pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b‑18 or Rule 10b5‑1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and will automatically expire on November 14, 2020. Any repurchased shares will constitute authorized but unissued shares.
