EXPLANATORY NOTE

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Spirit of Texas Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 11, 2020, the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-Q”), was delayed due to circumstances related to novel coronavirus outbreak (the “COVID-19 pandemic”). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s operations and business have experienced disruptions. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the Company having to modify its business practices. In particular, many of our employees, including our finance staff, have been working remotely throughout the state and local shelter-in-place orders, which has resulted in more limited support from and access to key personnel, as well as delays in communication among such persons.  The Company was therefore unable to file the Form 10-Q on its customary schedule. The Company relied on the SEC’s Order Under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies, SEC Release No. 34-88465, dated March 25, 2020, to delay the filing of this Form 10-Q.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States.worldwide. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and the United States declared a National Public Health Emergency. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the level of economic activity in the local, national and global economies and financial markets. The pandemic has resulted in temporary closuresDuring the first and second quarters of 2020, many businesses in Texas and throughout the institution ofUnited States were temporarily closed due to social distancing and shelteringand/or shelter in place requirementsorders. As of March 31, 2021, businesses in many states and communities. TheTexas have been allowed to re-open; however, the Company and its customers have beencontinue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacts the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as its regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, is unknown at this time and will depend on future developments, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. If the pandemic is sustained, it may further adversely impact the Company and impair the ability of the Company's customers to fulfill their contractual obligations to the Company. This could causematerially and adversely affect the Company to experience a material adverse effect on itsCompany’s business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, and results of operations. For additional risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

In response to the pandemic, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“Cares”CARES Act”) Act.. This legislation aims at providingto provide relief for individuals and businesses that have been negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. TheSection 4013 of the CARES Act includes a provision forprovides financial institutions the Companyopportunity to opt out of applying the “troubled debt restructuring” (“TDR”) accounting guidance in ASCthe Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 310-40 for certain loan modifications. Loan modifications made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of i) December 30, 2020 or ii) 60 days after the President declares a terminationend of the COVID-19 national emergency are eligible forproclamation or ii) December 31, 2020. Section 541 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, amended Section 4013 of the CARES Act to extend this relief ifto the related loans wereearlier of i) 60 days after the end of the national emergency proclamation or ii) January 1, 2022. A financial institution may elect to suspend U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) only for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Bank adopted this provision.

 

Additionally, the CARES actAct contained provisions whichthat impact federal income taxes including but not limited to an extension to pay and file federal tax returns, bonus depreciation on qualified improvement property and the ability to carry back certain net operating losses to a prior year.  The Bank will utilizeutilized the filing and payment extension and NOLnet operating loss carryback provisions.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Spirit of Texas Bank, SSB (the “Bank”).Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and financial reporting policies the Company follows conform, in all material respects, to GAAP and to general practices with the financial services industry.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)Company has evaluated subsequent events for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all ofpotential recognition and/or disclosure through the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the period ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation ofdate these consolidated financial statements have been included.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expense during the reporting periods and the related disclosures.  Although management’s estimates and assumptions are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about future performance of the Company, such estimates and assumptions are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult for the Company to assess. Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.were issued.

Correction of an Immaterial Error on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company identified an immaterial error pertaining to the accounting of certain loan participations sold impacting its consolidated balance sheet and its consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Due to the rights retained on certain loan participations sold, the Company is deemed to have retained effective control over these loans under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing”, and therefore these participations sold must be accounted for as a secured borrowing. The Company reviewed the impact of this error on the prior periods and determined that the error was not material to the prior period consolidated financial statements. The Company has corrected the immaterial error inthe consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 by increasing investing cash flows by $9 thousand and decreasing financing cash flows by $9 thousand from amounts previously reported.

ASU 2019-11, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses:  Codification Improvements Topic 326” – Issued in November 2019, ASU No. 2019-11 clarifies and addresses specific issues about certain aspects of the amendments in ASU 2016-13.  For the Company, the provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 including interim periods within those fiscal years.  See the discussions regarding the adoption of ASU 2016-13 below.

ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)” – Issued in November 2019, ASU No. 2019-10 addresses the change in philosophy to the effective dates including amendments issued after the issuance of the original ASUs.  See the discussions regarding the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2016-02 below.

ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” – Issued in April 2019, ASU No. 2019-04 clarifies a number of issues discussed at the June 2018 and November 2018 Credit Losses Transition Resource Group meetings.  The clarifications address a variety of identified issues including but not limited to the treatment of accrued interest receivable as it relates to the allowance for credit losses, transfers between loan classifications and categories, recoveries, and using projections of future interest rate environments in expected cash flow calculations.  Management is evaluating these clarifications concurrently with our assessment of ASU 2016-13.

ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement Disclosure Framework” – Issued in August 2018, ASU No. 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements outlined in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements.  Specifically the amendments in the ASU remove the requirements to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between fair value hierarchy levels, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements, and for nonpublic entities, disclosure of the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements.  Additionally, the ASU adds disclosure requirements regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income related to Level 3 fair value measurements, and disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.  The amendments of ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019.  Management adopted the provisions of this ASU removing fair value disclosure requirements as of December 31, 2018 as early adoption of the removal provisions was allowed and  adopted the remaining provisions of the ASU as of January 1, 2020.  The provisions of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-09, “Codification Improvements.” - Issued in July 2018, ASU No. 2018-09 makes changes to a variety of topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification. The majority of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 will be effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management adopted all amendments of ASU 2018-09 as of January 1, 2020.  Adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” Issued in January 2017, ASU 2017-04 simplifies the manner in which an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity, prior to the amendments in ASU 2017-04, had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities, including unrecognized assets and liabilities, in accordance with the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. However, under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should (1) perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and (2) recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, with the understanding that the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, ASU 2017-04 removes the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails such qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective prospectively for public entities for annual, or any interim, goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for all other entities for impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Management  adopted this ASU using the public company effective date as early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” Issued in June 2016, ASU 2016-13 will add FASB ASC Topic 326, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” and finalizes amendments to FASB ASC Subtopic 825-15, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” The amendments of ASU 2016-13 are intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information related to expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit by replacing the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates. The amendments of ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, in turn, reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not specify the method for measuring expected credit losses, and an entity is allowed to apply methods that reasonably reflect its expectations of the credit loss estimate. Additionally, the amendments of ASU 2016-13 require that credit losses on available for sale debt securities be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. The amendments of ASU 2016-13 were originally effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and for all other entities for periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Issued in November 2019, ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging, and Leases” alters the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for private companies.  Under the provisions of ASU 2019-10, ASU 2016-13 is now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 including interim periods within those years for non-public business entities.  Earlier application is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management has elected to adopt this ASU using the updated private company effective date and is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on the consolidated financial statements and that evaluation will depend on economic conditions and the composition of the Company’s loan and lease portfolio at the time of adoption.

ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Issued in February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02 was issued by the FASB to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and by disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  ASU 2016-02 will, among other things, require lessees to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, the ASU contains some targeted improvements that are intended to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and with the updated revenue recognition guidance issued in 2014.  The amendments of ASU 2016-02 are effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and for other entities for periods beginning after December 15, 2019.  The adoption of this ASU will result in an increase to the Consolidated Balance Sheets for right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities for operating leases in which the Company is the lessee.  Under current accounting standards, all of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases and, as such, are not recognized on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.  Additionally, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases, Targeted Improvements. The amendments in these updates provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on certain aspects of ASU 2016-02 and have the same effective and transition requirements as ASU 2016-02. Specifically, ASU 2018-11 creates an additional transition method option allowing entities to record a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year

of adoption.  In December 2018, the FASB further issued ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842) Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors.  The amendments in this update permits lessors to make an accounting policy election to not evaluate whether certain sales taxes and other similar taxes are lessor costs or lessee costs and instead account for the costs as if they were lessee costs.  Additionally, the amendment requires lessors to exclude from variable payments, and therefore revenue, lessor costs paid by lessees directly to third parties. The amendments also require lessors to account for costs excluded from the consideration of a contract that are paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessee as variable payments.  In March 2019, the FASB also issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements, to further clarify certain identified issues regarding implementation of ASU 2016-02.  Specifically, the amendments in ASU 2019-01 clarify the determination of fair value of underlying assets by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers, the cash flow presentation of sales-type or direct financing leases, and transition disclosures for interim periods.  Issued in November 2019, ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging, and Leases” alters the effective date of ASU 2016-02 for private companies.  Under the provisions of ASU 2019-10, ASU 2016-02 is now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 including interim periods within those years for non-public business entities.  Management will adoptadopted these ASUs using the private company effective date of January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company did not utilize any optional practical expedients in conjunction with adoption. At January 1, 2021, the Company recorded a lease liability of $6.6 million and is currently evaluating the impact to the consolidated financial statements and related methoda right of adoption, specifically, management is in the processuse asset of determining an appropriate discount rate to record identified right-of-use assets. $6.4 million.  See Note 8 for additional discussion.

 

 

NOTE 2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Spirit accounts for revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides that revenue be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.  Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized either over time as performance obligations are fulfilled, or at a point in time when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer.  Spirit’s noninterest income, excluding all of SBAU.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan servicing fees, gain on sales of loans, net, and gain on sales of investment securities, are considered within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 606. Each category of in-scope revenue streams is discussed below.

Deposit Accounts Core Service Charges

Core service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts) and monthly service fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

11


Deposit Account Transaction Based Fee Income

Transaction based fee income on deposit accounts consists of variable revenue streams associated with activities which a deposit account holder may initiate on a transaction by transaction basis.  The majority of transaction based fee income arises from interchange revenue received when deposit customers use a debit card for a point of sale transaction over a third-party card payment network.  Interchange revenue is recorded net of related interchange expenses in the month in which the transaction occurs.  

Merchant services income is realized through a third party service provider who is contracted by the Bank under a referral arrangement. Such fees represent fees charged to merchants to process their debit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. The third-party service provider also issues credit cards as private label in the Company's name in exchange for a referral fee.  Fees are earned and recorded in the same period as the referral occurs and the card is issued.

Other transaction based service charges on deposit accounts include revenue from processing wire transfers, issuing cashier’s checks, processing check orders, and renting safe deposit boxes. The Company’s performance obligation related to these service charges is largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or charged to the customers’ account in the period the service is provided. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that since rentals and renewals occur fairly consistently over time, revenue is recognized on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation.

Referral Fees

Spirit utilizes third-party vendors to provide services to the Company and its customers that are not economically feasible to provide on a stand-alone basis.  These services include access to the secondary market for mortgage loans not held for investment and providing interest rate swaps to customers interested in hedging interest rate risk.  In exchange for providing these third-party vendors with new customers, Spirit receives a referral fee.

With respect to mortgage referral fees, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied when the referred customer closes a mortgage loan with the third-party vendor and payment of the referral fee is typically received immediately.

10


Swap referral fees are recognized when an existing or new loan customer enters into a swap agreement with the third-party vendor.  Spirit is not a counterparty to the swap, and the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the swap agreement is signed.  Payment of the referral fee is received within three days of the signed swap agreement.

The following presents non-interest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019:2020:

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 Company’s non-interest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals. 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. The Company did not have any significant contract balances at March 31, 20202021 or December 31, 2019.2020.

12


Contract Acquisition Costs

In connection with the adoption of FASB ASC Topic 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize into expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. The Company has not capitalized any contract acquisition costs for the three months ending March 31, 20202021 or 2019.

NOTE 3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

First Beeville Financial Corporation

On April 2, 2019 Spirit completed its acquisition of First Beeville Financial Corporation and its subsidiary, The First National Bank of Beeville (together, “Beeville”). This transaction resulted in 3 additional branches and 2 loan production offices in the South Texas region. The Company issued 1,579,191 shares of its common stock as well as a net cash payment to Beeville shareholders of $32.4 million, for a total consideration of $65.9 million, for all outstanding stock of Beeville and resulted in 100% ownership interest.

The Company has recognized total goodwill of $25.8 million which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed compared to the fair market value of identifiable assets acquired. The fair value of the consideration exchanged related to the Company’s common stock was calculated based upon the closing market price of the Company’s commonstock as of April 2, 2019. NaNne of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company did 0t incur any expenses related to the acquisition  for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company incurred $504 thousand of expenses related to the acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The Company did 0t identify any loans deemed purchased credit impaired at the acquisition date. Non-credit impaired loans had a fair value of $296.4 million at the acquisition date and contractual balance of $298.9 million. As of the acquisition date, the Company expects that an insignificant amount of the contractual balance of these loans will be uncollectible. The difference of $2.5 million will be recognized into interest income as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loans.

Estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this transaction as of the closing date are as follows:

Chandler Bancorp Inc.

On November 5, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Chandler Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiary, Citizens State Bank (together, “Citizens”). This transaction resulted in adding 7 additional branches in the Northeast Texas region. The Company issued 2,100,000 shares of its common stock as well as a net cash payment to Citizens shareholders of $17.9 million, for total consideration of $62.5 million for all outstanding stock of Citizens. 

The Company has recognized total goodwill of $22.4 million which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed compared to the fair market value of identifiable assets acquired. The fair value of the consideration exchanged related to the Company’s common stock was calculated based upon the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as of November 5, 2019. NaNne of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company incurred expenses related to the Citizens acquisition of approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 which are included in noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.  The Company did 0t incur any expenses related to the acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The Company reviewed the Citizens loan portfolio for potential impairment and identified loans with a contractual balance of $3.2 million that were deemed purchased credit impaired. Non-credit impaired loans had a preliminary fair value of $248.8 million at the acquisition date and contractual balance of $253.1 million. As of the acquisition date, the Company expects that an insignificant amount of the contractual balance of these loans will be uncollectible. The difference of $1.1 million will be recognized into interest income as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loans.

Revenues and earnings of Citizens for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $3.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Simmons Branch Acquisition

On February 28, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities associated with 5 branch offices of Simmons Bank (the “Simmons acquisition”).  The offices are located in Austin, San Antonio and Tilden, Texas. The Company paid total cash for the purchase of $131.6 million.

The Company has recognized total goodwill of $12.5 million which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed compared to the fair market value of identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes and will be amortized over 15 years.

The Company incurred expenses related to the Simmons branch acquisition of approximately $441 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020 which are included in noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.  The Company did 0t incur any expenses related to the acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The Company did 0t identify any loans deemed purchased credit impaired at the acquisition date. Non-credit impaired loans had a preliminary fair value of $255.5 million at the acquisition date and contractual balance of $260.3 million.

In April 2020, we began originating loans to qualified small businesses under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) administered by the SBA under the provisions of the CARES Act. Total PPP loans originated by the Bank as of March 31, 2021 were $366.5 million and are included in the commercial and industrial segment of our loan portfolio. These loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA, carry a contractual term of two to five years and an interest rate of 1.00%. In conjunction with originating PPP loans, the Company has $6.7 million of deferred origination fees, net of costs at March 31, 2021 which will be recognized over the 2.3 year weighted average life of the loans or at the date of forgiveness if earlier.  In conjunction with the PPP, we are also currently participating in the PPPLF which extends loans to banks who are loaning money to small businesses under the PPP. The amount of borrowings under the PPPLF as of March 31, 2021 was $100.1 million and is non-recourse and secured by the amount of the PPP loans we originate. The maturity date of a borrowing under the PPPLF is equal to the maturity date of the PPP loan pledged to secure the borrowing and would be accelerated (i) if the underlying PPP loan goes into default and is sold to the SBA to realize on the SBA guarantee or (ii) to the extent that any loan forgiveness reimbursement is received from the SBA. Borrowings under the PPPLF are included in long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and bear interest at a rate of 0.35%. Additionally, a bank may exclude all PPP loans pledged as collateral to the PPPLF from its average total consolidated assets for the purposes of calculating its leverage ratio, while PPP loans that are not pledged as collateral to the PPPLF will be included.

Due to the rights retained on certain loan participations sold, the Company is deemed to have retained effective control over these loans under ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” These loans can no longer be reported as sold, and must be reported on the balance sheet as loans held for investment regardless of whether the Company intends to exercise its rights. These loans are reported as loans held for investment with the offsetting liability recorded as long-term borrowings. The amount of secured borrowings included in loans held for investment and long-term borrowings at March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 was $13.5 million and $14.7 million, respectively.$4.0 million.

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying balance sheets.  The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others, including SBA loans, were $199.4$186.4 million and $205.0$193.3 million at March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

NOTE 6.5. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The allowance for loan and lease losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans.  The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The methodology is based on historical loss experience by type of credit and internal risk grade, changes in the composition and volume of the portfolio, and specific loss allocations, with adjustments for current events and conditions. The Company’s process for determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan and lease losses is designated to account for credit deterioration as it occurs.

    On April 2, 2019, the Company closed its acquisition of Beeville. At the date of acquisition, Beeville had $298.9 million in loans. In accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” the Company utilized a third-party to value the loan portfolio as of the acquisition date. Based upon the third party valuation, the fair value of the loans was approximately $296.4 million at the acquisition date. The overall discount calculated was $2.5 million and will be accreted into interest income over the life of the loans.

On November 5, 2019, the Company closed its acquisition of Citizens. At the date of acquisition, Citizens had loans with a contractual balance of $253.1 million.  In accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” the Company utilized a third-party to value the loan portfolio as of the acquisition date. Based upon the third-party valuation, the preliminary fair value of non-purchased credit impaired loans was approximately $248.8 million at the acquisition date.  Purchased credit impaired loans had a fair value of $3.2 million. The overall discount calculated was $1.1 million and will be accreted into interest income over the life of the loans.

On February 28, 2020, the Company closed its acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities associated with five offices of Simmons Bank. At the date of acquisition, the offices had $260.3 million in loans.  In accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” the Company utilized a third-party to value the loan portfolio as of the acquisition date. Based upon the third-party valuation, the fair value of the loans was approximately $255.5 million at the acquisition date. The overall discount calculated was $4.8 million and will be accreted into interest income over the life of the loans.

As of March 31, 2020, all purchased loans were excluded from the allowance for loan and lease losses calculation.  To determine if the portfolio had experienced greater than anticipated deterioration between the acquisition date and March 31, 2020, the Bank evaluated each of the purchased loan portfolios.  The evaluation consisted of analysing the purchased loan portfolio utilizing the current allowance for loan and lease losses model. The model did not indicate the need for an additional allowance on any of the portfolios.

At March 31, 2020,2021, purchased credit impaired loans related to the Comanche acquisition remain insignificant, and the Bank did 0t identify any purchased credit impaired loans related to the Beeville or Simmons acquisitions. Remaining recorded investment in purchased credit impaired loans related to Citizens was $582totalled $694 thousand at March 31, 2020 and the Company believes that all contractual principal and interest will be received.  Purchased credit impaired loans related to the Citizens acquisition are not included in the impaired loans disclosure within this Note.

18At March 31, 2021 0 provision for loan losses has been recorded for PPP loans.  These loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and therefore carry a 0 percent reserve.  PPP loans also carry a put-back provision in the event that a PPP loan is fraudulently originated and the Bank is at fault.  Management does not deem a put-back reserve necessary at this time.

Credit Quality Indicators

In evaluating credit risk, the Company looks at multiple factors; however, management considers delinquency status to be the most meaningful indicator of the credit quality of 1-4 single family residential, home equity loans and lines of credit and consumer loans. Delinquency statistics are updated at least monthly. Internal risk ratings are considered the most meaningful indicator of credit quality for commercial, construction, land and development and commercial real estate loans. Internal risk ratings are updated on a continuous basis.

The following tables present an aging analysis of the recorded investment for delinquent loans by portfolio and segment for the periods presented:

Loans exhibiting potential credit weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention and that if left uncorrected may result in deterioration of the repayment capacity of the borrower are categorized as special mention. Loans with well-defined credit weaknesses including payment defaults, declining collateral values, frequent overdrafts, operating losses, increasing balance sheet leverage, inadequate cash flow, project cost overruns, unreasonable construction delays, past due real estate taxes or exhausted interest reserves are assigned an internal risk rating of substandard. Loans classified as substandard can be on an accrual or non-accrual basis, as determined by its unique characteristics. A loan with a weakness so severe that collection in full is highly questionable or improbable will be assigned an internal risk rating of doubtful.

NOTE 8.7. SBA SERVICING ASSET

SBA servicing assets are recognized separately when rights are acquired through the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans. These servicing rights are initially measured at fair value at the date of sale and included in the gain on sale. Updated fair values are obtained from an independent third party on a quarterly basis and adjustments are presented in SBA loan servicing fees on the consolidated statements of income. To determine the fair value of SBA servicing rights, the Company uses market prices for comparable servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, uses a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying balance sheets.  The unpaid principal balances of SBA loans serviced for others were $199.4$186.4 million and $205.0$193.3 million at March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. SBA loan servicing fees were $10$324 thousand and $264$10 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively.   

The risks inherent in the SBA servicing asset relate primarily to changes in prepayments that result from shifts in interest rates.  The following summarizes the activity pertaining to SBA servicing rights, which are in the consolidated balance sheets, for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019:2020:

NOTE 8. LEASES

ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” became effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 842 utilizing the modified retrospective transition approach prescribed by ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”. The Company did not elect the package of practical expedients, which includes reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, reassessing the lease classification and reassessing initial direct costs. Also, the Company did not elect to adopt the hindsight practical expedient therefore maintaining the lease terms previously determined under FASB ASC Topic 840, “Leases”. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components separately where applicable as such amounts are readily determinable.

Once the Company identifies and determines certain contracts are leases according to FASB ASC Topic 842, the Company classifies it as an operating or a finance lease and recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments that remain unpaid as of the commencement date and ROU is the initial lease liability recognized for the lease plus any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date as well as any initial direct costs less any lease incentives received.

The Company does not have any finance leases at March 31, 2021. The Company has operating leases for its office branches, operations offices, and certain equipment utilized at those properties.  Property leases typically have original lease terms ranging from 1 to 10 years, some of which may also include an option to extend the lease beyond the original lease term. The Company includes renewal and termination options within the lease term if deemed reasonably certain of exercise. The remainder of the lease portfolio is comprised of equipment leases that have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 3 years. Operating leases may vary in term and, from time to time, include incentives and/or rent escalations. Examples of these type of incentives may include periods of “free” rent and leasehold improvement incentives. The Company recognizes incentives on a straight-line basis over the lease term as a reduction or increase to rent expense, as applicable, within occupancy and equipment expenses in the consolidated statements of income. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liability totaled $6.1 million and $ 6.2 million, respectively. The Company’s leases typically have one or more renewal options included in the lease contract. Due to the nature of the Company’s leases, for leases with renewal options available, the Company evaluates each lease to determine if exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain.

In order to calculate its ROU assets and lease liabilities, FASB AC Topic 842 requires the Company to use the rate of interest implicit in the lease when readily determinable. If the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company is required to use its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a

21


similar term in a similar economic environment. The Company was unable to determine the implicit interest rate in any of the leases and therefore used its incremental borrowing rate.

The table below presents additional information related to the Company’s leases as of March 31, 2021:

(1) The incremental borrowing rate used to calculate the lease liability was determined based on facts and circumstances of the economic environment and the Company's credit standing as of the effective date of ASC 842. Additionally, the total lease term and total lease payments were also considered in determining the rate.

The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one to 10 years, with a weighted average lease term of 4.37 years at March 31, 2021.

NOTE 10. FHLB AND OTHER BORROWINGS

The FHLB allows us to borrow, both short and long-term, on a blanket floating lien status collateralized by certain securities and loans. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had pledged loans as collateral for FHLB advances of $971.5 million and $6.0$927.3 million, respectively. At March 31, 2021, the Company had additional capacity to borrow from the FHLB of $668.8 million.

Short-term borrowings

Short-term FHLB borrowings: At March 31, 2021, the Company had 0 short-term FHLB borrowings. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $10 million of short term FHLB borrowings with an average interest rate of 0.70%. All short-term FHLB borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2020 had fixed interest rates.

Long-term borrowings

Line of Credit: The Company entered into an unsecured line of credit with a third party lender in May 2017 which allowed it to borrow up to $20.0 million. The interest rate on the facility is LIBOR plus 4.00% per annum, and unpaid principal and interest is due at the stated maturity on May 12, 2022. The line of credit may be prepaid at any time without penalty, so long as such prepayment includes the payment of all interest accrued through the date of the repayments, and, in the case of prepayment of the entire loan, the amount of attorneys’ fees and disbursements of the lender.  During 2019, the line of credit was increased to a total borrowing capacity of $50.0 million.  There were 0 outstanding advances at March 31, 2021 or December 30, 2020.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company maintained long-term borrowings with the FHLB averaging $60.9 million and $65.0 million, respectively, with an average cost of approximately 2.29%. Substantially all long-term FHLB borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019, respectively.2020 had fixed interest rates.  At both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $16 million of FHLB borrowings outstanding were callable.  

The Company maintained 5, unsecured Federal Funds lines of credit with commercial banks which provide for extensions of credit with an availability to borrow up to an aggregate $105.0 million as of March 31, 2021. There were 0 advances under these lines of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility: In conjunction with the PPP, we are also currently participating in the Federal Reserve's PPPLF which extends loans to banks that are loaning money to small businesses under the PPP. The amount outstanding at March 31, 2021 was $100.1 million and is non-recourse and secured by the amount of the PPP loans we originated. The maturity date of a borrowing under the PPPLF is equal to the maturity date of the PPP loan pledged to secure the borrowing and would be accelerated (i) if the underlying PPP loan goes into default and is sold to the SBA to realize on the SBA guarantee or (ii) to the extent that any loan forgiveness reimbursement is received from the SBA. Borrowings under the PPPLF are included in long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and bear interest at a rate of 0.35%.

Subordinated Notes: On July 24, 2020, the Company issued $37 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2030 (the “Notes”).  The Notes initially bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.00%, payable quarterly, in

23


arrears, to, but excluding, July 31, 2025. From and including July 31, 2025, to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be the then-current three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (provided, that in the event the benchmark rate is less than zero, the benchmark rate will be deemed to be zero) plus 592 basis points, payable quarterly, in arrears. The amount outstanding at March 31, 2021 was $37.0 million.

Secured borrowings: Due to the rights retained on certain loan participations sold, the Company is deemed to have retained effective control over these loans under FASB ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing”, and therefore these participations sold must be accounted for as a secured borrowing. At March 31, 2021, total secured borrowings were $4.0 million which are included in loans held for investment and long-term borrowings.  At December 31, 2020, total secured borrowings were $4.0 million which are included in loans held for investment and long-term borrowings. NaNne of the secured borrowings mature in the next five years following the latest balance sheet date.

NOTE 12.13. INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were 20.8% and 2019 were 7.0% and 17.9%, respectively.    The effective tax rate for the first quarter ofthree months ended March 31, 2020 was favorably impacted by a discrete income tax benefit in the amount of $575 thousand driven by the Company’s decision to carry back certain net operating losses as allowed by the CARES Act, aswhich was enacted on March 27, 2020. The Company does not anticipate any additional significant impact from other provisions of the CARES Act.

26


NOTE 13.14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company issues off-balance sheet financial instruments in connection with its lending activities and to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to fund loans and lines of credit as well as commercial and standby letters of credit. These commitments expose the Company to varying degrees of credit and market risk which are essentially the same as those involved in extending loans to customers. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for instruments recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Collateral is obtained based on management’s assessment of the customer’s credit risk.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. As of and for both periods ending March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company’s reserve for unfunded commitments totaled $98$90 thousand.  

Fees collected on off-balance sheet financial instruments represent the fair value of those commitments and are deferred and amortized over their term.

Unfunded loan commitments:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based upon management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

26


Commercial and standby letters of credit:

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Letters of credit are primarily issued to support trade transactions or guarantee arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company, from time to time, is involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. While the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management, based upon advice of legal counsel, that no proceedings exist, either individually or in the aggregate, which, if determined adversely to the Company, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows.

27


NOTE 14.15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities and the related fair value hierarchy, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities. It is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs, minimize the use of unobservable inputs and use unobservable inputs to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The need to use unobservable inputs generally results from the lack of market liquidity, resulting in diminished observability of both actual trades and assumptions that would otherwise be available to value these instruments, or the value of the underlying collateral is not market observable. Although third party price indications may be available for an asset or liability, limited trading activity would make it difficult to support the observability of these quotations.

Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of each instrument under the valuation hierarchy.

Investment Securities—Investment securities available for sale are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. When available, fair value is based on quoted prices for the identical security in an active market and as such, would be classified as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, discounted cash flows or matrix pricing models. Investment securities available for sale for which Level 1 valuations are not available are classified as Level 2, and include U.S. Governmentgovernment agencies and sponsored enterprises obligations and agency mortgage-backed securities; state and municipal obligations; asset-backed securities; and corporate debt and other securities. Pricing of these securities is generally spread driven.

Observable inputs that may impact the valuation of these securities include benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, reported trades, dealer quotes, bids, issuer spreads, current rating, historical constant prepayment rates, historical voluntary prepayment rates, structural and waterfall features of individual securities, published collateral data, and for certain securities, historical constant default rates and default severities.

SBA Servicing Asset—The SBA Servicing Asset is carried at fair value on a recurring basis. To determine the fair value of SBA servicing rights, The Company uses market prices for comparable servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, uses a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. In using this valuation method, the Company incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, which includes estimates of the cost to service, the discount rate, custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds, default rates, late fees and losses. The SBA Servicing Asset is classified as Level 3.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the methodologies used to estimate the fair values of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements are typically classified.

Impaired loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”)—The carrying amount of collateral dependent impaired loans is typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which may be real estate or other business assets, less estimated costs to sell. The carrying value of OREO is initially measured based on the fair value, less estimated cost to sell, of the real estate acquired in foreclosure and subsequently adjusted to the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Fair values of real estate collateral are typically based on real estate appraisals which utilize market and income valuation techniques incorporating both observable and unobservable inputs. When current appraisals are not available, the Company may use brokers’ price opinions, home price indices, or other available information about changes in real estate market conditions to adjust the latest appraised value available. These adjustments to appraised values may be subjective and involve significant management judgment. The fair value of collateral consisting of other business assets is generally based on appraisals that use market approaches to valuation, incorporating primarily unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements related to collateral dependent impaired loans and OREO are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables provide information about certain assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Recent Developments Related toOngoing COVID-19 Pandemic

 

Our business has been, and continues to be, impacted by the recent and ongoing outbreak of COVID-19. In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the President of the United States. Efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19 have led to shelter-in-place orders, the closure of non-essential businesses, travel restrictions, supply chain disruptions and prohibitions on public gatherings, among other things, throughout many parts of the United States and, in particular, the markets in which we operate. TheAlthough many of these restrictions have been lifted and society has begun to re-open, the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and additional uncertainties exist which may continue to impact our customers, employees and vendors; the financial services and banking industry; and the economy as a whole. These uncertainties include, among other things, the extent and severity of the spread of COVID-19, the length of the outbreak, and future actions taken by governmental authorities to contain the outbreak or to mitigate its impact. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected, and is expected to continue to negatively affect, our business, financial position and operating results. In light of the uncertainties and continuing developments discussed herein,herein.  We are currently unable to fully assess or predict the extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations as the ultimate adverse impact will depend on factors that are currently unknown and/or beyond our control.  Please refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of COVID-19 cannot be reliably estimated at this time, but it has been and is expected to continue to be material.our 2020 Form 10-K.

 

In the State of Texas, many jurisdictions have declared health emergencies. The resulting closures of non-essential businesses and related economic disruption has impactedas a result of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our operations, as well as the operations of our customers. Financial services have been identified as a Critical Infrastructure Sector by the Department of Homeland Security. Accordingly, our business remains open. In order to facilitate the continued delivery of essential services while prioritizing the safety of our customers and employees, we have takenimplemented the following measures:

 

ImplementedActivated our communications plans to ensure our employees, customers and critical vendors are kept informed of new developments affecting our operations.

 

Temporarily closedRecommended masks to be worn by all customers and employees in all of our lobbies and other corporate facilities to non-employees, except for certain limited cases by appointment only. We continue to serve our consumer and business customers through our drive-thrus, ATMs, internet banking, mobile app and telephone customer service capabilities.facilities.

 

Expanded remote-access availability to ensure employees have the capability to work from home or other remote locations.

 

NotwithstandingFor our customers, we established a variety of temporary relief programs which include loan payment deferrals, late fee and overdraft waivers and the foregoing actions, the COVID-19 outbreak could still greatly affectsuspension of foreclosure and repossessions. We continue to work with our routine and essential operations due to staff absences, particularly among key personnel; further limited access to or closures of our branch facilities and other physical offices; operational, technical or security-related risks; and government or regulatory agency orders. The business and operations of our third party service providers, many of whom perform critical services for our business, could also be significantly impacted, which in turn could impact us. As a result, we are currently unable to fully assess or predict the extent of the effects of COVID-19 on our operations as the ultimate impact will depend on factors that are currently unknown and/or beyond our control.

Our financial position and results of operations are particularly susceptible to the ability of our loan customers to meet loan obligations, the availability of our workforce, the availability of our vendorsoriginate and the decline in the value of assets held by us. While its effects continue to materialize, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant decrease in commercial activity throughout the State of Texasrenew business loans as well as nationally. This decrease in commercial activity may cause our customers (including affected businessesoriginate loans made available through the PPP, a lending program administered by the SBA and individuals), and vendorsestablished as part of the relief to be unable to meet existing payment or other obligations to us. The resulting economic pressure onAmerican consumers and uncertainty regardingbusinesses in the sustainability of any economic improvements has impacted the creditworthiness of potential and current borrowers. Borrower loan defaults that adversely affect our earnings correlate with deteriorating economic conditions (suchCARES Act, as the unemployment rate), which, in turn, are likely to impact our borrowers' creditworthiness and our ability to make loans.further described below.

In addition, the economic pressures and uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic may result in specific changes in consumer and business spending and borrowing and saving habits, affecting the demand for loans and other products and services we offer. Consumers affected by COVID-19 may continue to demonstrate changed behavior even after the crisis is over. For example, consumers may decrease discretionary spending on a permanent or long-term basis, certain industries may take longer to recover (particularly those that rely on travel or large gatherings) as consumers may be hesitant to return to full social interaction, To help

33


mitigate the adverse effects of COVID-19, loan customers may apply for a deferral of payments, or portions thereof, for up to 90 days. Additionally, the temporary closures of bank branches could result in consumers becoming more comfortable with technology and devaluing face-to-face interaction. Our business is relationship driven and such changes could necessitate changes to our business practices to accommodate changing consumer behaviors. The potential changes in behaviors driven by COVID-19 also present heightened liquidity risks, for example, arising from increased demand for our products and services (such as unusually high draws on credit facilities) or decreased demand for our products and services.Federal Reserve Board Actions

 

Recent actions taken by the federal government and the Federal Reserve and other bank regulatory agencies to mitigate the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will also have an impact on our financial position and results of operations. TheseCertain of these actions are further discussed below.

 

In an emergency measure aimed at blunting the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve lowered the target for the federal funds rate to a range of between zero to 0.25% on March 15, 2020. This action by the Federal Reserve followed a prior reduction of the targeted federal funds rates to a range of 1.0% to 1.25% on March 3, 2020. Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon our net interest income. As our balance sheet is more asset sensitive, our earnings are more adversely affected by decreases in market interest rates as the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly and to a larger degree than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings. The decline in interest rates has already led to new all-time low yields across the USU.S. Treasury maturity curve. If the Federal Reserve decreases the targeted federal funds rates even further in response to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, overall interest rates will decline further, which will negatively impact our net interest income and further compress our net interest margin. Alternatively, if the COVID-19 outbreakpandemic abates and general economic conditions improve, the Federal Reserve may determine to increase the targeted federal funds rates and overall interest rates will likely rise, which may positively impact our net interest income, but may negatively impact commercial lending activity and the U.S. economy.

 

Other actions taken by the Federal Reserve in an effort to provide monetary stimulus to counteract the economic disruption caused by COVID-19 include:

Expanded reverse repo operations, adding liquidity to the banking system.

Restarted quantitative easing.

Lowered the interest rate on the discount window by 1.5% to 0.25%.

Reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent.

Encouraged banks to use their capital and liquidity buffers to lend.

Introduced several new programs that will operate on a temporary basis to help preserve market liquidity.


The U.S. government has also enacted certain fiscal stimulus measures in several phases to counteract the economic disruption causedPPP was established by the COVID-19. The Phase 1 legislation, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, was enacted on March 6, 2020 and, among other things, authorized funding for research and development of vaccines and allocated money to state and local governments to aid containment and response measures. The Phase 2 legislation, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, was enacted on March 18, 2020 and provides for paid sick/medical leave, establishes no-cost coverage for coronavirus testing, expands unemployment benefits, expands food assistance, and provides additional funding to states for the ongoing economic consequences of the pandemic, among other provisions. The Phase 3 legislation, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), was enacted on March 27, 2020. Among other provisions, the CARES Act (i) authorizesand implemented by the SecretarySBA with support from the Department of the TreasuryTreasury. The PPP is a federally-guaranteed, low-interest rate loan program that is designed to make loans,provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep workers on the payroll. Businesses may use PPP loan guarantees and other investments,funds to pay up to $500 billion, for assistanceeight weeks of payroll costs as well as to cover other eligible businesses, States and municipalities with limited, targeted relief for passenger air carriers, cargo air carriers, and businesses critical to maintaining national security, (ii) creates a $349 billion loan program calledbusiness expenses. PPP loans may be partially or fully forgiven by the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) for loans to small businesses for, among other things, payroll, group health care benefit costs and qualifying mortgage, rent and utility payments, (iii) provides certain credits againstSBA if the 2020 personal income taxfunds are used for eligible individualsexpenses during the relevant forgiveness period and their dependents, (iv) expands eligibilitythe borrower meets the employee retention criteria. Any PPP loans that are not fully forgiven will carry an interest rate of 1% with a maturity of either two or five years. PPP loans that the SBA approved on or after June 5, 2020 will have a maturity date of five years. Payments for unemployment insurance and provides eligible recipients with an additional $600 per week on topPPP loans are deferred until the SBA issues a forgiveness decision or ten months after the end of the unemployment amount determinedforgiveness period if the borrower fails to apply for forgiveness.  All PPP loans are fully guaranteed by each Statethe SBA and (v) expands tele-health servicesare included in Medicare.total loans outstanding.  The Phase 3.5 legislation, the Paycheck Protection Program and Healthcare Enhancement Actresults of 2020 (the “PPPHE Act”), was enacted on April 24, 2020. Among other things, the PPPHE Act provided an additional $310 billion of funding forour participation in the PPP of which, $30 billion is specifically allocated for use by banks and other insured depository institutions that have assets between $10 billion and $50 billion. We are continuing to monitor the potential development of so-called “Phase 4” legislation and further actions taken by the U.S. government.

discussed below.

The Federal Reserve has created various additional lending facilities and expanded existing facilities to help provide up to $2.6 trillion in financing in response to the financial disruptions caused by COVID-19. The programs include, among other things, (i) the Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility (the “PPP Facility”“PPPLF”), which is intended to extend loans to banks making PPP loans, (ii) the Municipal Liquidity Facility, which is intended to facilitate the purchase of eligible notes from states, and certain

34


counties and cities around the country, and (iii) the Main Street Lending Program, which is intended to facilitate credit flows to businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic with up to 10,000 employees or up to $2.5 billion in 2019 annual revenues.

Banks and bank holding companies have been particularly impacted by  In addition to the COVID-19 pandemicPPPLF, we may participate in some or all of these facilities or programs, including as a resultlender, agent or intermediary on behalf of disruption and volatilitycustomers or in an advisory capacity in the global capital markets. This disruption has impacted our cost of capital and may adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets if we need or desire to do so and, although the ultimate impact cannot be reliably estimated at this time in light of the uncertainties and ongoing developments noted herein, such impacts could be material. Furthermore, bank regulatory agencies have been (and are expected to continue to be) very proactive in responding to both market and supervisory concerns arising from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the potential impact on customers, especially borrowers. As shown during and following the financial crisis of 2007-2008, periods of economic and financial disruption and stress have, in the past, resulted in increased scrutiny of banking organizations. We are closely monitoring the potential for new laws and regulations impacting lending and funding practices as well as capital and liquidity standards. Such changes could require us to maintain significantly more capital, with common equity as a more predominant component, or manage the composition of our assets and liabilities to comply with formulaic liquidity requirements. Furthermore, provisions of the CARES Act allow, but do not require, the FDIC to guarantee deposit obligations of banks in non-interest-bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2020. Participation in any such guarantee program may result in fees and other assessments as the FDIC determines and may include special assessments. Other provisions of the CARES Act as well as actions taken by bank regulators, such as potential relief for working with borrowers who are distressed as a result of the effects of COVID-19, could similarly impact aggregate deposit insurance expense.future.

Overview

We are a Texas corporation and a registered bank holding company located in the Houston metropolitan area with headquarters in Conroe, Texas. We offer a broad range of commercial and retail banking services through our wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Spirit of Texas Bank, SSB. We operate through 3938 full-service branches and two loan productions offices located primarily in the Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, San Antonio-New Braunfels, Corpus Christi, Austin, and Tyler metropolitan areas. As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had total assets of $2.54$3.17 billion, loans held for investment of $2.01$2.43 billion, total deposits of $2.08$2.60 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $345.8$365.8 million.

As a bank holding company, we generate most of our revenues from interest income on loans, gains on sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans, customer service and loan fees, brokerage fees derived from secondary mortgage originations and interest income from investments in securities. We incur interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds and noninterest expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Our goal is to maximize income generated from interest-earning assets, while also minimizing interest expense associated with our funding base to widen net interest spread and drive net interest margin expansion. Net interest margin is a ratio calculated as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings that are used to fund those assets. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

Changes in market interest rates and the interest rates we earn on interest-earning assets or pay on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and types of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing liabilities and stockholders’ equity, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income. Fluctuations in market interest rates are driven by many factors, including governmental monetary policies, inflation, deflation, macroeconomic developments, changes in unemployment, the money supply, political and international conditions and conditions in domestic and foreign financial markets. Periodic changes in the volume and types of loans in our loan portfolio are affected by, among other factors, economic and competitive conditions in Texas, as well as developments affecting the real estate, technology, financial services, insurance, transportation, manufacturing and energy sectors within our target markets and throughout Texas.

 

Results of Operations

Our results of operations depend substantially on net interest income and noninterest income. Other factors contributing to our results of operations include our level of our noninterest expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment and other miscellaneous operating expenses.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents interest income less interest expense. We generate interest income from interest, dividends and fees received on interest-earning assets, including loans and investment securities we own. We incur interest expense from interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, including interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor (1) yields on our loans and other interest-earning assets, (2) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources, (3) our net interest spread, (4) our net interest margin and (5) our provisions for loan losses. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is calculated as the annualized net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Because noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing

35


deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these noninterest-bearing sources.

35


Changes in market interest rates and the interest rates we earn on interest-earning assets or pay on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and types of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income. We measure net interest income before and after provision for loan losses required to maintain our allowance for loan and lease losses at acceptable levels.

Noninterest Income

Our noninterest income includes the following: (1) service charges and fees; (2) SBA loan servicing fees; (3) mortgage referral fees; (4) gain on the sales of loans, net; (5) gain (loss) on sales of investment securities; and (6) other.

Noninterest Expense

Our noninterest expense includes the following: (1) salaries and employee benefits; (2) occupancy and equipment expenses; (3) professional services; (4) data processing and network; (5) regulatory assessments and insurance; (6) amortization of core deposit intangibles; (7) advertising; (8) marketing; (9) telephone expenses; (10) conversion expenses; and (11) other.

Financial Condition

The primary factors we use to evaluate and manage our financial condition include liquidity, asset quality and capital.

Liquidity

We manage liquidity based upon factors that include the amount of core deposits as a percentage of total deposits, the level of diversification of our funding sources, the allocation and amount of our deposits among deposit types, the short-term funding sources used to fund assets, the amount of non-deposit funding used to fund assets, the availability of unused funding sources, off-balance sheet obligations, the availability of assets to be readily converted into cash without undue loss, the amount of cash and liquid securities we hold, and the repricing characteristics and maturities of our assets when compared to the repricing characteristics of our liabilities, the ability to securitize and sell certain pools of assets and other factors.

Asset Quality

We manage the diversification and quality of our assets based upon factors that include the level, distribution, severity and trend of problem, classified, delinquent, nonaccrual, nonperforming and restructured assets, the adequacy of our allowance for loan and lease losses, discounts and reserves for unfunded loan commitments, the diversification and quality of loan and investment portfolios and credit risk concentrations.

Capital

We manage capital based upon factors that include the level and quality of capital and our overall financial condition, the trend and volume of problem assets, the adequacy of discounts and reserves, the level and quality of earnings, the risk exposures in our balance sheet, the levels of Tier 1 (core), risk-based and tangible equity capital, the ratios of tier 1 (core), risk-based and tangible equity capital to total assets and risk-weighted assets and other factors.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $10.1 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $0.58 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 totaled $4.1 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $0.22 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Adjusted net income, which is a Non-GAAP measure, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 totaled $4.8 million which excluded $1.3 million of after-tax, merger-related expenses and a $575 thousand income tax benefit related to a net operating loss carryback, which generated adjusted diluted earnings per common share of $0.26. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $3.8 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $0.30 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in net income was driven by an increase in net interest income of $8.4$4.0 million that was primarily attributable to organicaccretion of net loan origination fees on PPP loans.  Noninterest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2021 also declined $4.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, which was primarily due to deferred costs on newly originated PPP loans and acquired growththe lack of merger related expenses during the first quarter of 2021 compared to $1.5 million of merger related expenses for the first quarter of 2020.  Income tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $2.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 as a result of higher pre-tax earnings and a nonrecurring carryback claim recorded in the average balancefirst quarter of loans, partially offset2020 which reduced income tax expense by an increase in noninterest expense of $8.0 million, which was mainly the result of an increase of salaries and employee benefits of $5.0 million, an increase in occupancy expenses of $1.1 million, and an increase in other operating expenses of $809$575 thousand. Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 produced an annualized return on average assets of 0.68%1.32% compared to an annualized return on average assets of 1.11%0.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020. We had an annualized return on average stockholders’ equity of 11.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to an annualized return on average stockholders’ equity of 4.72% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to an annualized return on average stockholders’ equity of 7.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020.

In order to make pretax income and resultant yields on tax-exempt loans comparable to those on taxable loans, a tax-equivalent adjustment has been computed using a federal tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on our interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the prior period’s average rate. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average rate by the prior period’s volume.

A summary of increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in average balances (volume) and average interest rates follows:

Three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared to three months ended March 31, 20192020

Net interest income was $27.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing an increase of $8.4$4.0 million, or 54.2%17.0%. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in interest income of $9.9 million partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.6 million. Interest income on loans increased by $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.of $2.4 million. The growth in average loans of $746.7$524.8 million, including loans held for sale, for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 was the primary driver of the increase in interest income on loans, partially offset by a decrease in the average rate on loans of 3485 basis points over the same period.

Interest expense was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $3.4 million2020.  The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing an increase of $1.6 million. This increase2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 was mainlyprimarily due to an increase in interest expenselower average rates on deposits. Interest expensetime deposits which declined 95 basis points and savings and money market accounts which declined 50 basis points. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the average rate paid on time deposits totaled $4.5 millionwas 0.95% compared to 1.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing an increase of $1.4 million, resulting primarily from an increase in the average deposit balances of $560.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 over the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020. The average cost of total deposits for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 was 0.93%0.38%. This represents a decrease of twelve55 basis points compared to the average cost of deposits of 1.05%0.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020.  The decrease in the average cost of deposits was primarily due to an increase in the deposit mix of noninterest-bearing demand deposits. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the average rate paid on time deposits as a result of PPP loan disbursements being held in deposit accounts.

The net interest margin was 1.90% compared to 1.78%3.94% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The net interest margin was2021, compared to 4.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 4.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing a decrease of 2744 basis points. The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 4.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 4.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing a decrease of 2942 basis points. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased by 4589 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 20202021, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 1459 basis points, resulting in a 3031 basis point decrease in the interest rate spread. The decrease in both net interest margin and interest rate spread primarily resulted from an increase in the decrease in interest ratesloan portfolio mix of PPP loans which yield 1.0% offset by the Federal Open Market Committee during the first quarter of 2020.continuing time deposit rate resets.

The near term impact of the decrease in market interest rates is partly mitigated as certain variable-rate loans adjust on a delayed basis.their respective floors. Additionally, our participation in the PPP, as further discussed below, is expected to positivelycontinue to impact net interest income and net interest margin.margin as PPP loans are forgiven and deferred costs and fees are recognized in full through yield.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents the amount determined by management to be necessary to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level capable of absorbing inherent losses in the loan portfolio. See the discussion under “—Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.” Our management and board of directors review the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses on a quarterly basis. The allowance for loan and lease losses calculation is segregated by call report code and then further segregated into various segments that include classified loans, loans with specific allocations and pass rated loans. A pass rated loan is generally characterized by a very low to average risk of default and in which management perceives there is a minimal risk of loss. Loans are rated using a nine-point risk grade scale by loan officers that are subject to validation by a third party loan review or our internal credit committee. Risk ratings are categorized as pass, watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, with some general allocation of reserves based on these grades. Impaired loans are reviewed specifically and separately under the Financial Accounting Standards BoardBoard’s (“FASB”)’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310, “Receivables”,“Receivables,” to determine the appropriate reserve allocation. Management compares the investment in an impaired loan with the present value of expected future cash flow discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent, to determine the specific reserve allowance. Reserve percentages assigned to non-impaired loans are based on historical charge-off experience adjusted for other risk factors. To evaluate the overall adequacy of the allowance to absorb losses inherent in our loan portfolio, our management considers historical loss experience based on volume and types of loans, trends in classifications, volume and trends in delinquencies and nonaccruals, economic conditions and other pertinent information. Loan Segments negatively impact by the COVID-19 pandemic and deferrals granted as a result of the pandemic do not have a direct impact on the provision; however, adjustments to qualitative factors and loan downgrades within these populations have been made which do impact the provision. Based on future evaluations, additional provisions for loan losses may be necessary to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at an appropriate level.

Three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared to three months ended March 31, 20192020

The provision for loan losses was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $849 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020. The majority of the provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 related to increased qualitativecharge offs on impaired loans and required reserves due to the current economic environment as discussed in the section captioned “Recent Developments Related to COVID-19”.on newly identified impaired loans. The ratio of net charged-off loans to average loans (annualized) was 0.14% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 0.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 0.21% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020. Charge-offs taken in the first quarter of 20202021 were primarily on impaired loans which had been provided for in a previous period.

Our management maintains a proactive approach in managing nonperforming loans, which were $7.7$9.9 million, or 0.38%0.41% of loans held for investment, at March 31, 2020,2021, and $6.5$8.6 million, or 0.37%0.36% of loans held for investment, at December 31, 2019.2020. The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $7.6$16.3 million, or 0.38%0.67% of loans held for investment, at March 31, 20202021, compared to $6.7$16.0 million, or 0.38%0.67% of loans held for investment, at December 31, 2019.2020. The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans was 98.72%165.1% at March 31, 2020,2021, compared to 104.18%186.4% at December 31, 2019.2020.

Three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared to three months ended March 31, 20192020

For the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, noninterest income totaled $2.7$2.6 million, a $345$93 thousand, or 11.3%3.4%, decrease from $3.1$2.7 million for the prior period. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in SBA servicing fees of $254 thousand and gain on sale of loans, net of $340 thousand offset bylower swap referral fees of $580 thousand.  We currently expect noninterest income to remainand loss on equity securities carried at reduced levels due to lessfair value offset by higher service charges and fees and SBA loan sales and fewer swap agreements in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.servicing fees.

Service charges and fees were $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $729 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020.  The increase in service charges and fees were the result of increase deposit accounts relatedfewer waived service charges and fees during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the Beeville, Citizens, and Simmons acquisitions.first quarter of 2020.

SBA loan servicing fees were $324 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $10 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $264 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020.  The decreaseincrease in SBA loan servicing fees were primarily driven by negativepositive fair value adjustments to the servicing asset during the quarter.

Three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared to three months ended March 31, 201930, 2020

For the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, noninterest expensesexpense totaled $21.0$16.6 million, a $8.0$4.3 million, or 61.2%20.6%, increasedecrease from $13.0$21.0 million for the prior period. This increasedecrease was primarily due to an increase indeferred costs on newly originated PPP loans of $2.2 million which reduced salaries and employee benefits and the lack of $4.6conversion expense in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $1.5 million an increaseof conversion expense in occupancythe first quarter of 2020.

Data processing and equipment expenses of $1.1 million, and an increase in other operating expenses of $810 thousand.

Salaries and employee benefits totaled $11.8 millionnetwork expense increased $486 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared to $7.1 millionMarch 31, 2020 due to increased branch locations and overall asset size.

Other operating expenses totaled $971 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The $4.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefits is primarily due to the additional staff brought on through the Beeville, Citizens, and Simmons acquisitions.

Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared to March 31, 2019. This is driven by the additional properties acquired in the Beeville, Citizens, and Simmons acquisitions.

Other operating expenses totaled $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $864 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020. This increasedecrease is primarily the result of prepayment penalties on long term FHLB advances paid during the first quarter of 2020 of approximately $189 thousand and stay bonuses paid in conjunction with the Simmons branch acquisition and increased payroll processing costs related to the increase in full time equivalents resulting from the Beeville, Citizens, and Simmons acquisitions.of $87 thousand.

Income Tax Expense

The provision for income taxes includes both federal and state taxes. Fluctuations in effective tax rates reflect the differences in the inclusion or deductibility of certain income and expenses for income tax purposes. Our future effective income tax rate will fluctuate based on the mix of taxable and tax-free investments we make, periodic increases in surrender value of bank-owned life insurance policies for certain former executive officers and our overall taxable income.

Three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared to three months ended March 31, 201930, 2020

Income tax expense was $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $2.3 million compared to income tax expense of $305 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $524 thousand compared to income tax expense of $829 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were 20.8% and 2018 were 7.0% and 17.9%, respectively.The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was favorably impacted by a discrete income tax benefit driven by the Company’s decision to carry back certain net operating losses as allowed by the CARES Act, as enacted on March 27, 2020.

Financial Condition

Our total assets increased $159.9$85.5 million, or 6.7%2.8%, from $2.38$3.08 billion as of December 31, 20192020 to $2.54$3.17 billion as of March 31, 2020,2021, primarily as a result of the completionorigination of approximately $148.9 million of PPP loans offset by the Simmons acquisition.sale of loan participations of $45.2 million.

Investment Securities

We use our investment securities portfolio to provide a source of liquidity, provide an appropriate return on funds invested, manage interest rate risk, and meet collateral requirements and meet regulatory capital requirements. The average balance of the securities portfolio, including FHLB and The Independent Bankers Bank (“TIB”), bank stock, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 was $96.0$339.9 million and $148.0$96.0 million, respectively, with a pre-tax yield of 2.31%1.51% and 3.34%2.31%, respectively. We held 92108 securities classified as available for sale with an amortized cost of $94.0$448.2 million as of March 31, 2020.2021.    

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”), at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. No securities were determined to be OTTIimpaired as of March 31, 20202021 or December 31, 2019.2020.

As a member institution of the FHLB and TIB, the Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB and TIB. As of March 31, 20202021, and December 31, 2019,2020, the Bank held approximately $5.7 million in FHLB and TIB bank stock. No market exists for this stock, and the Bank’s investment can be liquidated only through repurchase by the FHLB or TIB. Such repurchases have historically been at par value. We monitor our investment in FHLB and TIB stock for impairment through review of recent financial results, dividend payment history and information from credit agencies. As of March 31, 20202021, and December 31, 2019,2020, management did not identify any indicators of impairment of FHLB and TIB stock.

Except for securities issued by U.S. government agencies, we did not have any concentrations where the total outstanding balances issued by a single issuer exceed 10% of our stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

Our securities portfolio had a weighted average life of 2.06.06 years and an effective duration of 1.635.21 years as of March 31, 20202021 and a weighted average life of 2.465.11 years and an effective duration of 2.094.58 years as of December 31, 2019.2020.

Commercial and Industrial Loans (including SBA loans)

Commercial and industrial loans, including SBA loans, are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to repay the loan through operating profitably and effectively growing its business. Our management examines current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the credit quality and cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee to add strength to the credit and reduce the risk on a transaction to an acceptable level; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis to the most credit worthy borrowers.

In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Due to the nature of accounts receivable and inventory secured loans, we closely monitor credit availability and collateral through the use of various tools, including but not limited to borrowing-base formulas, periodic accounts receivable agings, periodic inventory audits, and/or collateral inspections.

Commercial and industrial loans, including SBA loans, totaled $320.4$700 million as of March 31, 20202021 and represented an increase of $37.5$124.9 million, or 13.2%21.7%, from $282.9$575.0 million as of December 31, 2019.2020. The increase in commercial and industrial loans during the three months ended March 31, 20202021 was due primarily to acquired loans associated with the Simmons acquisition.origination of PPP loans. We believe we are well-positioned for continued loan growth in our commercial and industrial loan portfolio based on our strategic presence in the Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, and San Antonio/New Braunfels and Corpus Christi metropolitan areas.

The primary focus of our SBA lending program is financing well-known national franchises for which the United States generally will guarantee between 75% and 85% of the loan. We are a SBA preferred lender, and originate SBA loans to national franchises in Texas and nationwide. We routinely sell the guaranteed portion of SBA loans to third parties for a premium and retain the servicing rights, for which we earn a 1% fee, and maintain the nonguaranteed portion in our loan portfolio.

SBA loans held in our loan portfolio totaled $75.3$67.4 million and $74.2$70.8 million at March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

Real estate loans

1-4 single family residential real estate loans (including loans to foreign nationals)

1-4 single family residential real estate loans, including foreign national loans, are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans. We provide mortgages for the financing of 1-4 single family residential homes for primary occupancy, vacation or rental purposes. The borrowers on these loans generally qualify for traditional market financing. We also specialize in 1-4 single family residential real estate loans to foreign national customers, in which the borrower does not qualify for traditional market financing.

43


We define our foreign national loans as loans to borrowers who derive more than 50% of their personal income from outside the United States. We provide mortgages for these foreign nationals in Texas for primary occupancy or secondary homes while travelling to the United States. Because more than 50% of the borrower’s income is derived from outside of the United States, they do not qualify for traditional market financing. We have developed an enhanced due diligence process for foreign national loans that includes larger down payments than a traditional mortgage, as well as minimum reserves equal to an amount of mortgage payments over a specified period held in the Bank and monthly escrows for taxes and insurance.

1-4 single family residential real estate loans (including loans to foreign nationals) totaled $382.9$348.9 million as of March 31, 20202021 and represented an increasea decrease of $7.2$15.2 million, or 1.9%4.2%, from $375.7$364.1 million as of December 31, 2019.2020. We believe we are well-positioned for continued loan growth in our 1-4 single family residential real estate loan portfolio based on our strategic presence in the Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, and San Antonio/Antonio-New Braunfels and Corpus Christi metropolitan areas.

Construction, land and development loans

With respect to loans to developers and builders, we generally require the borrower to have a proven record of success and expertise in the building industry. Construction loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate.

44


Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment primarily dependent on the success of the ultimate project.

Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from us until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing. Due to the nature of the real estate industry, we evaluate the borrower’s ability to service the interest of the debt from other sources other than the sale of the constructed property.

Construction loans totaled $405.7$344.6 million as of March 31, 20202021 and represented an increasea decrease of $146.3$70.9 million, or 56.4%17.1%, from $259.4$415.5 million as of December 31, 2019.2020. We believe we are well-positioned for continued loan growth in our construction, land and development loan portfolio based on our strategic presence in the Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, and San Antonio/Antonio-New Braunfels and Corpus Christi metropolitan areas.

Commercial real estate loans

Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan.

Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral and risk grade criteria. As a general rule, we avoid financing special use projects unless strong secondary support is present to help mitigate risk.

Commercial real estate loans consist of owner and nonowner-occupied commercial real estate loans, multifamily loans and farmland. Total commercial real estate loans of $822.0$964.3 million as of March 31, 20202021 represented an increase of $68.1$7.6 million, or 9.0%0.8%, from $753.8$956.7 million as of December 31, 2019.2020. We believe we are well-positioned for continued loan growth in our commercial real estate loan portfolio based on our strategic presence in the Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, and San Antonio/Antonio-New Braunfels and Corpus Christi metropolitan areas.

Consumer loans and leases

Our non-real estate consumer loans are based on the borrower’s proven earning capacity over the term of the loan. We monitor payment performance periodically for consumer loans to identify any deterioration in the borrower’s financial strength. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, management develops and adjusts policies and procedures as needed. This activity, coupled with a relatively small volume of consumer loans, minimizes risk.

All of our leases are related to the financing of vehicle leases to individuals. These loans are originated by a well-known third party leasing company and subsequently purchased by us after our final credit review. We limit our exposure to individuals living in Texas, within our defined local markets.

44


Consumer loans and leases totaled $22.4$9.6 million as of March 31, 20202021 and represented a decrease of $371 thousand,$2.1 million, or 1.6%18.0%, from $22.8$11.7 million as of December 31, 2019.2020. We have not actively grown our consumer portfolio because we believe current pricing on these loans does not adequately cover the inherent risk.

Municipal and other loans

Municipal and other loans consist primarily of loans made to municipalities and emergency service, hospital and school districts as well as agricultural loans.

We make loans to municipalities and emergency service, hospital and school districts primarily throughout Texas. The majority of these loans have tax or revenue pledges and in some cases are additionally supported by collateral. Municipal loans made without a direct pledge of taxes or revenues are usually made based on some type of collateral that represents an essential service. Lending money directly to these municipalities allows us to earn a higher yield for similar durations than we could if we purchased municipal securities. Total loans to municipalities and emergency service, hospital and school districts and others were $60.0$63.3 million as of March 31, 20202021 and represented a decrease of $12.5$2.2 million, or 17.2%3.3%, from $72.5$65.4 million as of December 31, 2019.2020.

In April 2020, we began originating loans to qualified small businesses under the PPP administered by the SBA under the provisions of the CARES Act. Loans covered byoriginated under the PPP may be eligible for loan forgiveness for certain costs incurred related to payroll, group health care benefit costs and qualifying mortgage, rent and utility payments. The remaining loan balance after forgiveness of any amounts is still fully guaranteed by the SBA. Terms of the PPP loans include the following (i) maximum amount limited to the lesser of $10 million or an amount calculated using a payroll-based formula, (ii) maximum loan term of two to five years, (iii) interest rate of 1.00%, (iv) no collateral or personal guarantees are required, (v) no payments are required for six months following the loan disbursement date and (vi) loan forgiveness up to the full principal amount of the loan and any accrued interest, subject to certain requirements including that no more than 25% of the loan forgiveness amount may be attributable to non-payroll costs. In return for processing and booking the PPP loan, the SBA will pay the lender a processing fee tiered by the size of the loan (5% for loans of not more than $350 thousand; 3% for loans more than $350 thousand and less than $2 million; and 1% for loans of at least $2 million). Through May 7, 2020, we have funded approximately $448 million of SBA-approvedPPP loan. At March 31, 2021, PPP loans to over 3000 customers.totaled $366.5 million which are included in commercial and industrial loans.  

 

We are also currently participating in the Federal Reserve's PPP FacilityPPPLF which, through SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, will extend loans to banks who are loaning money to small businesses under the PPP. The amount outstanding at May 7,of borrowings under the PPPLF as of March 31, 2021 was $91.6$100.1 million and is non-recourse and secured by the amount of the PPP loans we originate. The maturity date of a borrowing under the PPP FacilityPPPLF is equal the maturity date of the PPP loan pledged to secure the borrowing and would be accelerated (i) if the underlying PPP loan goes into default and is sold to the SBA to realize on the SBA guarantee or (ii) to the extent that any PPP loan forgiveness reimbursement is received from the SBA. Borrowings under the PPP FacilityPPPLF will bear interest at a rate of 0.35% and there would be no fees to us.

 

Federal bank regulatory agencies have issued an interim final rule that permits banks to neutralize the regulatory capital effects of participating in the PPP and, if applicable, the PPP Facility.PPPLF. Specifically, all PPP loans have a zero percent risk weight under applicable risk-based capital rules. Additionally, a bank may exclude all PPP loans pledged as collateral to the PPP FacilityPPPLF from its average total consolidated assets for the purposes of calculating its leverage ratio, while PPP loans that are not pledged as collateral to the PPP FacilityPPPLF will be included.

Restructured loans represent the balance at the end of the respective period for those performing loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring that are not already presented as a nonperforming loan.

Nonperforming loans totaled $7.7$9.9 million at March 31, 2020,2021, an increase of $1.3 million, or 19.4%15.0%, from $6.5$8.6 million at December 31, 2019.2020. Nonperforming assets totaled $11.4$9.9 million at March 31, 2020,2021, an increase of $1.3$1.2 million, or 13.1%13.2%, from $10.1$8.7 million at December 31, 2019.2020.

We classify loans as past due when the payment of principal or interest is greater than 30 days delinquent based on the contractual next payment due date. Our policies related to when loans are placed on nonaccrual status conform to guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when it is probable that principal or interest is not fully collectible, or when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due, whichever occurs first. Loans are removed from nonaccrual status when they become current as to both principal and interest and concern no longer exists as to the collectability of principal and interest.

Loans are identified for restructuring based on their delinquency status, risk rating downgrade, or at the request of the borrower. Borrowers that are 90 days delinquent and/or have a history of being delinquent, or experience a risk rating downgrade, are contacted to discuss options to bring the loan current, cure credit risk deficiencies, or other potential restructuring options that will reduce the inherent risk and improve collectability of the loan. In some instances, a borrower will initiate a request for loan restructure. We require borrowers to provide current financial information to establish the need for financial assistance and satisfy applicable prerequisite conditions required by us. We may also require the borrower to enter into a forbearance agreement.

Modification of loan terms may include the following: reduction of the stated interest rate; extension of maturity date or other payment dates; reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the loan; reduction in accrued interest; forgiveness of past-due interest; or a combination of the foregoing.

We engage an external consulting firm to complete an independent loan review and validate our credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk ratings and credit quality assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as our policies and procedures.

Certain borrowers are currently unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. In an effort to mitigate the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our loan customers, we are providinghave provided them the opportunity to defer payments, or portions thereof, for up to 90 days, should they so request. In the absence of other intervening factors, such short-term modifications made on a good faith basis are not categorized as troubled debt restructurings, nor are loans granted payment deferrals related to the COVID-19 pandemic reported as past due or placed on non-accrual status (provided the loans were not past due or on non-accrual status prior to the deferral).  As ofAt March 31, 2020, 155 qualified2021 approximately $11.6 million of loans had been granted 90 day deferrals or interest only payment periods of 90 days with an unpaid principal balance of $83.2 million.  As of May 7, 2020, 989 qualified loans had been granted 90 day deferrals or interest only payment periods of 90 days with an unpaid principal balance of $446.4 million.remain in deferment.

The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to an increased risk of delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures. We currently expect that a significant number and amount of our loans will experience ratings downgrades, credit deterioration and defaults in many industries. See additional information about the effects of and risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in the section captionedunder “Recent Developments Related to COVID-19” elsewhere in this discussion.COVID-19.”

In determining the allowance for loan and lease losses, we estimate losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the probable loss can be identified and reasonably determined. The balance of the allowance for loan and lease losses is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in the nature of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current economic factors and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on certain historical loan loss rates.    

On April 2, 2019, the Company closed its acquisition of Beeville. At the date of acquisition, Beeville had $298.9 million in loans.  In accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” the Company utilized a third-party to value the loan portfolio as of the acquisition date. Based upon the third-party valuation, the fair value of the loans was approximately $296.4 million at the acquisition date. The overall discount calculated was $2.5 million and will be accreted into interest income over the life of the loans.

On November 5, 2019, the Company closed its acquisition of Citizens. At the date of acquisition, Citizens had loans with a contractual balance of $253.1 million.  In accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” the Company utilized a third-party to value the loan portfolio as of the acquisition date. Based upon the third-party valuation, the fair value of non-purchased credit impaired loans was approximately $248.8 million at the acquisition date. Purchased credit impaired loans had a fair value of $3.2 million. The overall discount calculated was $1.1 million and will be accreted into interest income over the life of the loans.

On February 28, 2020, the Company closed its acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities associated with five offices of Simmons Bank. At the date of acquisition, the offices had $260.3 million in loans.  In accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” the Company utilized a third-party to value the loan portfolio as of the acquisition date. Based upon the third-party valuation, the fair value of the loans was approximately $255.5 million at the acquisition date. The overall discount calculated was $4.8 million and will be accreted into interest income over the life of the loans.

As of March 31, 2020, all purchased loans were excluded from the allowance for loan and lease losses calculation.  To determine if the portfolio had experienced greater than anticipated deterioration between the acquisition date and March 31, 2020, the Bank evaluated each of the purchased loan portfolios with the exception of Citizens and Simmons loan portfolios given the recent close of the transactions. The evaluation consisted of analyzing the purchased loan portfolio utilizing the current allowance for loan and lease losses model.  The model did not indicate the need for an additional allowance.

The allowance for loan and lease losses was $7.6$16.3 million at March 31, 2020 as2021, compared to $6.7$16.0 million at December 31, 2019.2020.  The majority of the increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses was due to adjustments in qualitative factors in response to the

48


COVID-19 pandemic.  Current qualitative factors include among others, unemployment, GDP growth,charge offs on impaired loans and oil prices.  These factors were updated to capture the estimated deterioration in these metrics as a result of COVID-19 and recent volatility in oil prices.  The current allowance for loan and lease loss model does not bifurcate the portfolio by industry.  While Management does monitor higher risk segments such as oil and gas, these monitoring procedures did not translate into an increased allowance for loan and lease losses at March 31, 2020 beyond the increase created by the adjustment to qualitative factors.required reserves on newly impaired loans. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans and allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans held for investment was 98.72%165.0% and 0.38%0.67%, respectively, as of March 31, 2020,2021, compared to 104.18%186.39% and 0.38%0.67%, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.2020.

At March 31, 2021, no provision for loan losses has been recorded for PPP loans.  These loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and therefore carry a zero percent reserve.  Excluding PPP loans, the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans held for investment was 0.79% at March 31, 2021. PPP loans carry a put-back provision in the event that a PPP loan is fraudulently originated and the Bank is at fault.  Management does not deem a put-back reserve necessary at this time.

Net loan charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 totaled $287$798 thousand, a decreasean increase from $566$288 thousand of net loan charge-offs for the same period of 2019.2020.

As of March 31, 2020, we evaluated recent triggering events that might be indicators that our goodwill was impaired.  The events include the economic disruption and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the circumstances surrounding recent volatility in the market price of crude oil.  At March 31, 2020, total Goodwill was $79 million all of which relates to our one reporting unit, the Bank.  The evaluation performed included utilizing the discounted cash flow and market approaches and yielded an excess fair value over carrying value of 3%.  Significant assumptions used in the evaluation include forecasted cash flow projections for the next five years, discount rate, and long term growth assumptions.  Each of these assumptions are subject to significant uncertainty; primarily Management’s assumption that cash flows will remain at a reduced level for a period of three years and then gradually recover.  If future deterioration in operating and financial results indicate that the actual reduction in cash flow is greater than anticipated or that the period of reduced cash flow will be longer, future evaluations could result in impairment.

Deposits

We expect deposits to be our primary funding source in the future as we optimize our deposit mix by continuing to shift our deposit composition from higher cost time deposits to lower cost demand deposits. Non-time deposits include noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, NOW accounts, and savings and money market accounts.

Borrowings

In addition to deposits, we utilize advances from the FHLB and other borrowings as a supplementary funding source to finance our operations.

FHLB borrowings: The FHLB allows us to borrow, both short and long-term, on a blanket floating lien status collateralized by certain securities and loans. As of March 31, 20202021, and December 31, 2019,2020, total remaining borrowing capacity of $533.5$668.8 million and $381.3$654.9 million, respectively, was available under this arrangement.

PPPLF borrowings: In conjunction with the PPP, we are also currently participating in the PPPLF which extends loans to banks that are loaning money to small businesses under the PPP. The amount outstanding at March 31, 2021 was $100.1 million and is non-recourse and secured by the amount of the PPP loans we originated. The maturity date of a borrowing under the PPPLF is equal the maturity date of the PPP loan pledged to secure the borrowing and would be accelerated (i) if the underlying PPP loan goes into default and is sold to the SBA to realize on the SBA guarantee or (ii) to the extent that any loan forgiveness reimbursement is received from the SBA. Borrowings under the PPPLF are included in long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and bear interest at a rate of 0.35%.

Subordinated Notes: On July 24, 2020, the Company issued $37 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2030 (the “Notes”).  The Notes initially bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.00%, payable quarterly, in arrears, to, but excluding, July 31, 2025. From and including July 31, 2025, to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be the then-current three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (provided, that in the event the benchmark rate is less than zero, the benchmark rate will be deemed to be zero) plus 592 basis points, payable quarterly, in arrears. The amount outstanding at March 31, 2021, was $37.0 million.

Line of credit: We entered into a line of credit with a third partythird-party lender in May 2017 that allows us to borrow up to $20 million. In January 2019, we increased this line of credit to allow us to borrow up to $50 million. The interest rate on this line of credit is based upon 90-day LIBOR plus 4.0%, and unpaid principal and interest is due at the stated maturity of May 12, 2022. This line of credit is secured by a pledge of all of the common stock of the Bank. This line of credit may be prepaid at any time without penalty, so long as such prepayment includes the payment of all interest accrued through the date of the repayments, and, in the case of prepayment of the entire loan, the amount of attorneys’ fees and disbursements of the lender. During the first quarter, the Company drew $10 million on the line to support the stock repurchase program.  At March 31, 2020,2021, total borrowing capacity of $40.0$50 million was available under this line of credit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we enter into various transactions, which, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”),GAAP, are not included on our consolidated balance sheets. We enter into these transactions to meet the financing needs of our customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and commercial and standby letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on our consolidated balance sheets.

We enter into contractual loan commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Since a portion of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent our future cash requirements. Substantially all of our commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards until the time of loan funding. We seek to minimize our exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to prior credit approval and ongoing monitoring procedures. We assess the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit and establish a liability for probable credit losses. As of March 31, 20202021, and December 31, 2019,2020, our reserve for unfunded commitments totaled $98$90 thousand.

50


Commercial and standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, we would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment is funded, we would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. Our policies generally require that standby letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements.

Management believes that we have adequate liquidity to meet all known contractual obligations and unfunded commitments, including loan commitments over the next twelve months. Additionally, management believes that our off-balance sheet arrangements have not had or are not reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

51


Capital Resources

We are required to comply with certain “risk-based” capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. The risk-based capital guidelines assign varying risk weights to the individual assets held by a bank. The guidelines also assign weights to the “credit-equivalent” amounts of certain off-balance sheet items, such as letters of credit and interest rate and currency swap contracts.

Under the Basel III rules, we are required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.0% (5.0% to be considered “well capitalized”), common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5% (6.5% to be considered “well capitalized”), a tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 6.0% (8.0% to be considered “well capitalized”), and a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0% (10.0% to be considered “well capitalized”). In addition, the risk-weighted capital ratios include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, which is in addition to the minimum risk-based capital standards. Institutions that do not maintain this required capital conservation buffer will become subject to progressively more stringent limitations on the percentage of earnings that can be paid out in dividends or used for stock repurchases and on the payment of discretionary bonuses to senior executive management. The capital conservation buffer was phased in over four years beginning in 2016, such that the buffer was fully phased-in as of January 1, 2019. We have included the 1.875% and 2.5% increases for 2018 and 2019, respectively, in our minimum capital adequacy ratios in the table below. The capital conservation buffer effectively raised the minimum required common equity tier 1 capital ratio to 7.0%, the tier 1 capital ratio to 8.5%, and the total capital ratio to 10.5% on a fully phased-in basis on January 1, 2019.

The risk-based capital ratios measure the adequacy of a bank’s capital against the riskiness of its assets and off-balance sheet activities. Failure to maintain adequate capital is a basis for “prompt corrective action” or other regulatory enforcement action. In assessing a bank’s capital adequacy, regulators also consider other factors such as interest rate risk exposure; liquidity, funding and market risks; quality and level of earnings; concentrations of credit, quality of loans and investments; risks of any nontraditional activities; effectiveness of bank policies; and management’s overall ability to monitor and control risks.

At March 31, 2020,2021, both we and the Bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to which we and the Bank were subject. At March 31, 2020,2021, the Bank was “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since March 31, 20202021 that would materially adversely change such capital classifications. From time to time, we may need to raise additional capital to support our and the Bank’s further growth and to maintain the Bank’s “well capitalized” status.

As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had a tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.96%9.72%. As of March 31, 2020,2021, the Bank had a tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.79%10.12%, which provided $68.2$61.3 million of excess capital relative to the minimum requirements to be considered “well capitalized.”  

Community Bank Leverage Ratio

On September 17, 2019, the federal banking agencies jointly finalized a rule to be effective January 1, 2020 and intended to simplify the regulatory capital requirements described above for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (“CBLR”) framework, as required by Section 201 of the EGRRCPA. The final rule became effective on January 1, 2020, and the CBLR framework became available for banks to use beginning with their March 31, 2020 Call Reports. Under the final rule, if a qualifying community banking organization opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework, it will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations described below and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital.  In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking organization must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9%, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. However, Section 4012 of the CARES Act required that the CBLR be temporarily lowerslowered to 8%.  The federal regulators issued a rule implementing the community banklower CBLR effective April 23, 2020. The rule also established a two-quarter grace period for a qualifying institution whose leverage ratio tofalls below the 8%.  Beginning in CBLR requirement so long as the second quarter of 2020 and until the end of the year, an organization that hasbank maintains a leverage ratio of 8%7% or greatergreater. Another rule was issued to transition back to the 9% CBLR by increasing the ratio to 8.5% for calendar year 2021 and meets certain other criteria may elect9% thereafter. Although the Company and the Bank are qualifying community banking organizations, the Company and the Bank have elected not to useopt in to the community bank leverage ratio framework.  The Company is evaluating whetherCBLR framework at this time and will continue to make this election.follow the Basel III capital requirements as described above.

Liquidity

Liquidity involves our ability to raise funds to support asset growth and acquisitions or reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other payment obligations, to maintain reserve requirements and otherwise to operate on an ongoing basis and manage unexpected events. At March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, our liquidity needs were primarily met by core deposits, security and loan maturities and amortizing investment and loan portfolios. Although access to brokered deposits, purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances from the FHLB are available and have been utilized on occasion to take advantage of investment opportunities, we do not generally rely on these external funding sources. The Bank maintained five Federal Funds lines of credit with commercial banks which provide for extensions of credit with an availability to borrow up to an aggregate $90.0$105.0 million

52


as of March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. There were no advances under these lines of credit outstanding as of March 31, 20202021 or December 31, 2019.2020.

52


Our primary source of funds is deposits, and our primary use of funds is loans. We do not expect a change in the primary source or use of our funds in the foreseeable future. We predominantly invest excess deposits in overnight deposits with the Federal Reserve, securities, interest-bearing deposits at other banks or other short-term liquid investments until needed to fund loan growth. Our securities portfolio had a weighted average life of 2.006.06 years and an effective duration of 1.635.21 years as of March 31, 2020.2021.

As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had outstanding $314.9$311.4 million in commitments to extend credit and $2.2$3.0 million in commitments associated with outstanding commercial and standby letters of credit. Since commitments associated with letters of credit and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the total outstanding may not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.

As of March 31, 2020,2021, we believe we had no exposure to future cash requirements associated with known uncertainties. Capital expenditures, including buildings and construction in process, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 were $2.4$1.2 million and $1.1$2.4 million, respectively.

Treasury Stock

On June 13, 2019, the Company approved a stock buyback program pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase up to $11.7 million of its outstanding shares of common stock (the “Stock Buyback Program”). The shares may be repurchased under the Stock Buyback Program from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or the open market, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, and in accordance with applicable regulations of the SEC.  The timing and exact amount of any repurchases under the Stock Buyback Program will depend on various factors including, the performance of the Company’s stock price, general market and other conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.  The Stock Buyback Program hasinitially had an expiration date of June 14,18, 2020. However, on June 15, 2020, the board of directors of the Company amended the Stock Buyback Program to authorize the Company to repurchase an additional $10.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock and to extend the Stock Buyback Program until June 18, 2021. The Stock Buyback Program may be terminated or amended by the Company’s board of directors at any time prior to the expiration date.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP, and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, we also evaluate our performance based on certain additional financial measures discussed in this Form 10-Q as being a non-GAAP financial measures. We classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios or statistical measures calculated using exclusively financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this Form 10-Q should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this Form 10-Q may differ from that of other banking organizations reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their financial measures similar or with names similar to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this prospectus when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

Net Interest Margin

We show net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure.

We believe the fully tax equivalent basis is the preferred industry measurement basis for net interest margin and that it enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Common Share – Basic and Diluted

Adjusted earnings per common share – basic and diluted is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes merger relatedmerger-related expenses and the impact of the net operating loss carryback. In our judgment, the adjustments made to net income allow investors and analysts to better assess our basic and diluted earnings per common share by removing the volatility that is associated with the items that are unrelated to our core business.

Merger related expensesAdjustments to earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 consisted2021 include a $5 thousand gain on sale of $1.3 million of after-tax merger related expenses. Merger related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 consisted of $1.4 million of after-tax merger related expenses.  Income tax expense was reduced by $575 thousand during the quarter due to the ability to carryback a net operating loss to a prior period with a higher effective tax rate.investment securities.

Tangible Book Value Per Share

Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure generally used by investors, financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate (1) tangible book value per share as tangible equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the respective period, and (2) tangible equity as common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per share is book value per share.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial reporting and accounting policies conform to GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our accounting policies and estimates are described in greater detail in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

We have identified the following accounting policies and estimates that, due to the difficult, subjective or complex judgments and assumptions inherent in those policies and estimates and the potential sensitivity of our financial statements to those judgments and assumptions, are critical to an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. We believe that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements are appropriate. Our accounting policies are integral to understanding our results of operations.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

Management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses is based on our past loan loss experience, the volume and composition of our lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, current economic conditions and other factors affecting the known and inherent risk in the portfolio. The allowance for loan and lease losses is increased by charges to income through the provision for loan and lease losses and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). The allowance is maintained at a level that management, based upon its evaluation, considers adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including, among others, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impacted loans, exposure at default, value of collateral, and estimated losses on our loan portfolio. All of these estimates may be susceptible to significant change.

The allowance consists of specific allowances for impaired loans and a general allowance on the remainder of the portfolio. Although management determines the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the allowance for loan and lease losses is available for the entire loan portfolio.

Management establishes an allowance on certain impaired loans for the amount by which the discounted cash flows, observable market price, or fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, is lower than the carrying value of the loan. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. A delay or shortfall in amount of payments does not necessarily result in the loan being identified as impaired.

Management also establishes a general allowance on non-impaired loans to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular loans. This general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category and assigning allowance percentages based on our historical loss experience, delinquency trends, and management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio.

Management also evaluates classified loans, which are not impaired. We segregate these loans by category and assign qualitative factors to each loan based on inherent losses associated with each type of lending and consideration that these loans, in the aggregate, represent an above-average credit risk and that more of these loans will prove to be uncollectible compared to loans in the general portfolio. Classification of a loan within this category is based on identified weaknesses that increase the credit risk of the loan.

The allowance is adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting its primary lending areas, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle, and bank regulatory examination results. The applied loss factors are re-evaluated each reporting period to ensure their relevance in the current economic environment.

56


While management uses the best information known to it in order to make loan loss allowance valuations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, or changes in accounting guidance. In times of economic slowdown, either regional or national, the risk inherent in the loan portfolio could increase resulting in the need for additional provisions to the allowance for loan and lease losses in future periods. An increase could also be necessitated by an increase in the size of the loan portfolio or in any of its components even though the credit quality of the overall portfolio may be improving. Historically, the estimates of the allowance for loan and lease losses have provided adequate coverage against actual losses incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred in business combinations over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is assessed annually for impairment or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred.  As of March 31, 2020, we evaluated recent potential triggering events that might be indicators that our goodwill was impaired.  The events include the economic disruption and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the circumstances surrounding recent volatility in the market price of crude oil.  Based on our evaluation, we concluded that our goodwill was not more than likely impaired as of that date.

Goodwill acquired in a purchase business combination that is determined to have an indefinite useful life, is not amortized, but tested for impairment as described above. We perform our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.

Core deposit intangible (“CDI”) is a measure of the value of checking and savings deposit relationships acquired in a business combination. The fair value of the CDI stemming from any given business combination is based on the present value of the expected cost savings attributable to the core deposit funding relative to an alternative source of funding. CDI is amortized over the estimated useful lives of the existing deposit relationships acquired, but does not exceed 12 years. We evaluate such identifiable intangibles for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Income Taxes

Management makes estimates and judgments to calculate various tax liabilities and determine the recoverability of various deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenues and expenses. Management also estimates a reserve for deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. These estimates and judgments are inherently subjective. Historically, management’s estimates and judgments to calculate the deferred tax accounts have not required significant revision.

In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including the past operating results and forecasts of future taxable income. In determining future taxable income, management makes assumptions for the amount of taxable income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require management to make judgments about the future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the business. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require management to record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on future earnings.

SBA Servicing Asset

A servicing asset related to SBA loans is initially recorded when these loans are sold and the servicing rights are retained. The servicing asset is recorded on the balance sheet. An updated fair value of the servicing asset is obtained from an independent third party on a quarterly basis and any necessary adjustments are included in SBA loan servicing fees on the consolidated statements of income. The valuation begins with the projection of future cash flows for each asset based on their unique characteristics, market-based assumptions for prepayment speeds and estimated losses and recoveries. The present value of the future cash flows areis then calculated utilizing market-based discount ratio assumptions. In all cases, we model expected payments for every loan for each quarterly period in order to create the most detailed cash flow stream possible. We use various assumptions and estimates in determining the impairment of the SBA servicing asset. These assumptions include prepayment speeds and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved and comparable to assumptions used by participants to value and bid serving rights available for sale in the market.

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.     OTHER INFORMATION

The Company, from time to time, is involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. While the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management, based upon advice of legal counsel, that no proceedings exist, either individually or in the aggregate, which, if determined adversely to the Company, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 13, “CommitmentsCommitments and Contingencies”Contingencies in the “Notesnotes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A.        Risk Factors

In evaluating an investment in any of our securities, investors should consider carefully, among other things, information under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q, the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, and such other risk factors as we may disclose in other reports and statements filed with the SEC. The following risk factors representThere have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed by the Company in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting us and our customers, employees, and third-party service providers, and the adverse impacts on our business, financial position, results of operations, and prospects could be significant.

        The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, increased unemployment levels and decreased consumer confidence generally. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in many states and communities. The pandemic could influence the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and increase our allowance for credit losses, particularly as businesses remain closed and as more customers are expected to draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses. Furthermore, the pandemic could affect the stability of our deposit base as well as our capital and liquidity position, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, result in lost revenue and cause us to incur additional expenses. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, we may be required to recognize other-than-temporary impairments in future periods on the securities we hold as well as reductions in other comprehensive income.

        The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our capital, liquidity, and other financial positions and on our business, results of operations, and prospects will depend on a number of evolving factors, including:  (i) the duration, extent, and severity of the pandemic, (ii) the response of governmental and nongovernmental authorities, (iii) the effect on our customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, (iv) the effect on economies and markets, and (v) the success of hardship relief efforts to bridge the gap to reopening the economy.

        The duration of the pandemic and the resulting business interruptions and related impacts on our business and operations, which will depend on future developments, are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The pandemic could cause us to experience higher credit losses in our lending portfolio, impairment of our goodwill and other financial assets, reduced demand for our products and services, and other negative impacts on our financial position, results of operations, and prospects.

        The U.S. government has implemented programs to directly compensate individuals and grant or loan money to businesses in an effort to provide funding while the economy is shut down. Many banks, including Spirit of Texas Bank, have implemented hardship relief programs that include payment deferral and short-term funding options. The success of these programs could mute the effect on the Company's credit losses, which may be difficult to determine.

A significant number of our borrowers have requested and received short-term loan payment deferrals. These deferrals may negatively impact our revenue and other results of operations in the near term and, if not effective in mitigating the effect of COVID-19 on our customers, may adversely affect our business and results of operations more substantially over a longer period of time.  Moreover, the cumulative effects of COVID-19 and the measures implemented by governments to combat the pandemic on the mortgaged properties may cause borrowers to be unable to meet their payment obligations under mortgage loans that we hold and may result in significant losses.

        The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after COVID-19 has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of the virus's global economic impact, including the availability of credit, adverse impacts on our liquidity and any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

        There are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material impact on our results of operations and heighten many of our known risks described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Current and future restrictions on our workforce’s access to our facilities and our reliance on third parties could limit our ability to meet customer servicing expectations and have a material adverse effect on our operations. We rely on business processes and profit center activity that largely depend on people, technology, and the use of complex systems and models to manage our business, including access to information technology systems and models as well as information, applications, payment systems and other services provided by third parties. In response to COVID-19, we have modified our business practices with a majority of our employees working remotely from their homes to have our operations uninterrupted as much as possible. Further, technology in employees’ homes may not be as robust as in our offices and could cause the networks, information systems, applications, and other tools available to employees to be more limited or less reliable than in our offices, the continuation of these work-from-home measures introduces additional operational risk, especially including increased cybersecurity risk. These cyber risks include greater phishing, malware, and other cybersecurity attacks, vulnerability to disruptions of our information technology infrastructure and telecommunications systems for remote operations, increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of confidential information, limited ability to restore the systems in the event of a systems failure or interruption, great risk of a security breach resulting in destruction or misuse of valuable information, and potential impairment of our ability to perform critical functions, including wiring funds, all of which could expose us to risks of data or financial loss, litigation and liability and could seriously disrupt our operations and the operations of any impacted customers.

Moreover, we rely on many third parties in our business operations, including appraisers of real property collateral, vendors that supply essential services such as loan servicers, providers of financial information, systems and analytical tools and providers of electronic payment and settlement systems, and local and federal government agencies, offices, and courthouses. In light of the developing measures responding to the pandemic, many of these entities have limited the availability and access of their services. For example, loan origination could be delayed due to the limited availability of real estate appraisers for the collateral. Loan closings could be delayed related to reductions in available staff in recording offices or the closing of courthouses in certain counties, which slows the process for title work, mortgage and UCC filings in those counties. If the third party service providers continue to have limited capacities for a prolonged period or if additional limitations or potential disruptions in these services materialize, it may negatively affect our operations.

Changes in market interest rates or capital markets, including volatility resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, could affect our revenues and expenses, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital or liquidity.

        The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the financial markets and has resulted in a number of Federal Reserve actions. Market interest rates have declined significantly. On March 3, 2020, the 10-year Treasury yield fell below 1.00% for the first time, and the Federal Reserve reduced the target federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.00% to 1.25%. On March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve further reduced the target federal funds rate by 100 basis points to 0.00% to 0.25% and announced a $700 billion quantitative easing program in response to the expected economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Federal Reserve reduced the interest that it pays on excess reserves from 1.60% to 1.10% on March 3, 2020, and then to 0.10% on March 15, 2020. We expect that these reductions in interest rates, especially if prolonged, could adversely affect our net interest income and margins and our profitability.

        Given our business mix, and the fact that most of our assets and liabilities are financial in nature, we tend to be sensitive to market interest rate movements and the performance of the financial markets. Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income generated by our interest-earning assets (consisting primarily of loans and, to a lesser extent, securities) and the interest expense generated by our interest-bearing liabilities. Prevailing economic conditions, fiscal and monetary policies and the policies of various regulatory agencies all affect market rates of interest and the availability and cost of credit, which, in turn, significantly affect financial institutions' net interest income. If the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings increases at a faster rate than increases in the interest we receive on loans and investments, net interest income, and, therefore, our earnings, could be affected. Earnings could also be affected if the interest we receive on loans and other investments falls more quickly than the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings.

In addition, the continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to disruption and volatility in financial markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access financial markets, which may in turn affect the value of the subordinated notes. This market volatility has resulted in a significant decline, and we may continue to experience further declines, in our stock price and market capitalization, which could result in goodwill impairment charges.

The Bank’s participation in the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program may result in operational, credit or other shortfalls that may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act on March 27, 2020.  Among other things, the CARES Act created a new facility, titled the “Paycheck Protection Program,” to the SBA’s 7(a) Loan Program.  As of May 7, 2020, the Bank had closed or approved with the SBA, over 3,000 loans under the Paycheck Protection Program, representing $448 million in funding.  Due to the accelerated implementation of the Paycheck Protection Program, the Bank, like other financial institutions has funded loans under the Paycheck Protection Program as the SBA and U.S. Department of Treasury release interpretive guidance, nearly daily, on the operational and logistical functions of the program.  There are several aspects of the Paycheck Protection Program that have not yet been addressed by the SBA or U.S. Department of Treasury, including how forgiveness on loans under the program will be calculated.  We cannot predict what operational, credit, or other shortfalls may arise as a result of the Bank making loans under the Paycheck Protection Program or how such shortfalls may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

Item 2.        Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Repurchase of Common Stock

On June 13, 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved the Stock Buyback Program pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase up to $11.7 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The shares may be repurchased under the Stock Buyback Program from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or the open market, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, and in accordance with applicable regulations of the SEC. The timing and exact amount of any repurchases under the Stock Buyback Program will depend on various factors including, the performance of the Company’s stock price, general market and other conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The Stock Buyback Program hasinitially had an expiration date of June 14,18, 2020. On June 15, 2020, the board of directors of the Company amended the Stock Buyback Program to authorize the Company to repurchase an additional $10 million of its outstanding shares of common stock and to extend the Stock Buyback Program until June 18, 2021.  The Stock Buyback Program may be terminated or amended by the Company’s board of directors at any time prior to the expiration date.
