CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Various statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “assume,” “should,” “predict,” “could,” “would,” “intend,” “targets,” “estimates,” “projects,” “plans,” and “potential,” and other similar words and expressions of the future, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but other statements not based on historical information may also be considered forward-looking. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Reliant Bancorp, Inc. ("Reliant Bancorp") to differ materially from any results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others:  

(i)the possibility that our asset quality willcould decline or that we experience greater loan losses than anticipated;
(ii)increased levels of other real estate, primarily as a result of foreclosures;
(iii)the impact of liquidity needs on our results of operations and financial condition;
(iv)the effect of interest rate increases on the cost of deposits;
(v)unanticipated weakness in loan demand or loan pricing;
(vi)greater than anticipated adverse conditions in the national economy or local economies in which we operate, including Middle Tennessee;
(vii)lack of strategic growth opportunities or our failure to execute on those opportunities;
(viii)deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers resulting in significant increases in loan losses and provisions for those losses;
(ix)the ability to grow and retain low-cost core deposits and retain large, uninsured deposits;
(x)the impact of competition with other financial institutions and financial services providers, including pricing pressures and the resulting impact on Reliant Bancorp’s results, including as a result of compression to net interest margin;
(xi)our ability to effectively manage problem credits;
(xii)our ability to successfully implement efficiency initiatives on time and in amounts projected;
(xiii)our ability to successfully develop and market new products and technology;
(xiv)the impact of negative developments in the financial industry and U.S. and global capital and credit markets;
(xv)our ability to retain the services of key personnel;
(xvi)our ability to adapt to technological changes;
(xvii)risks associated with litigation, including the applicability of insurance coverage;
(xviii)the vulnerability of Reliant Bank’s network and online banking portals, and the systems of parties with whom Reliant Bancorp and Reliant Bank contract, to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes, spam attacks, human error, natural disasters, power loss, and other security breaches;
(xix)changes in state and federal laws, rules, regulations, or policies applicable to banks or bank or financial holding companies, including regulatory or legislative developments;
(xx)adverse results (including costs, fines, reputational harm, and/or other negative effects) from current or future litigation, regulatory examinations, or other legal and/or regulatory actions;
(xxi)the risk that expected cost savings and revenue synergies from the pending acquisitions of Tennessee Community Bank Holdings, Inc. (“TCB Holdings”) (the “TCB Holdings Transaction”) and First Advantage Bancorp (“First Advantage”) (the “First Advantage Transaction” and, together with the TCB Holdings Transaction, the “Transactions”) may not be realized or take longer than anticipated to be realized;
(xxii)the ability to meet expectations regarding the timing and completion and accounting and tax treatment of the Transactions;
(xxiii)the effect of the announcement and pendency of the Transactions on customer, supplier, or employee relationships and operating results (including without limitation difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees and customers), as well as on the market price of Reliant Bancorp’s common stock;
(xxiv)the risk that the businesses and operations of First Advantage and its subsidiaries and of TCB Holdings and its subsidiaries cannot be successfully integrated with the business and operations of Reliant Bancorp and its subsidiaries or that integration will be more costly or difficult than expected;
(xxv)
the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the definitive merger agreement for the TCB Holdings Transaction or the First Advantage Transaction;
(xxvi)the amount of costs, fees, expenses, and charges related to the Transactions, including those arising as a result of unexpected factors or events;
(xxvii)the ability to obtain the shareholder and governmental approvals required for the Transactions;
(xxviii)reputational risk associated with and the reaction of the parties’ customers, suppliers, employees, or other business partners to the Transactions;


(xxix)the failure of any of the conditions to the closing of the Transactions to be satisfied, or any unexpected delay in closing the Transactions;
(xxx)
the dilution caused by Reliant Bancorp’s issuance of additional shares of its common stock in the Transactions;
(xxxi)
Reliant Bancorp’s ability to simultaneously execute on two separate business combination transactions;
(xxxii)the risk associated with Reliant Bancorp management’s attention being diverted away from the day-to-day business and operations of Reliant Bancorp to the completion of the Transactions; and
(xxi)(xxxiii)general competitive, economic, political, and market conditions, including economic conditions in the local markets where we operate.

You should also consider carefully the risk factors discussed in Part I of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which address additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements and could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. The risks discussed in this Quarterly Report are factors that, individually or in the aggregate, management believes could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, many of which are beyond our ability to control or predict. Consequently, you should not consider such disclosures to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. Factors not here or there listed may develop or, if currently extant, we may not have yet recognized them.

The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNESEPTEMBER 30, 2019 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2018
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of Reliant Bancorp, Inc. conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a brief summary of the significant policies.

Nature of Operations

Reliant Bank began organizational activities in 2005. Reliant Bancorp, Inc. provides financial services through its wholly owned bank subsidiary, Reliant Bank, which has offices in Williamson, Robertson, Davidson, Sumner, Rutherford, Maury, Hickman and Hamilton Counties in Tennessee. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are commercial and residential construction loans, commercial loans, installment loans and lines secured by home equity. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including commercial and residential real estate, business assets, and consumer assets. Additionally, on September 16, 2019, Reliant Bancorp, Inc. entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the parent company of Community Bank & Trust headquartered in Ashland City, Tennessee.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP.  All adjustments consisting of normally recurring accruals that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods covered by the report have been included.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Reliant Bancorp, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in Reliant Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods presented include the accounts of Reliant Bancorp Inc., Reliant Bank (the "Bank"), Community First TRUPSTrups Holding Company ("TRUPS"), which is wholly owned by Reliant Bancorp Inc., Reliant Investment Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), which is wholly owned by the Bank, and Reliant Mortgage Ventures, LLC ("RMV"), of which the Bank controls 51% of the governance rights. Reliant Bancorp Inc., the Bank, TRUPS, Holdings and RMV, are, collectively, referred to herein as the “Company”. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As described in Note 12 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements, Reliant Bancorp, Inc. and Community First, Inc. ("Community First") merged effective on January 1, 2018. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. GAAP and general practices in the banking industry.

Use of Estimates

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

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Use of Estimates (Continued)

The consolidated financial statements as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, and for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018, included herein have not been audited. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. GAAP and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The results for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to the JuneSeptember 30, 2018 financial statement presentation in order to conform to the JuneSeptember 30, 2019 financial statement presentation. Total stockholders' equity and net income are unchanged due to these reclassifications.

NOTE 2 - SECURITIES

The amortized cost and fair value of available for sale securities and the related gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or market rates decline. There were 6956 and 242 securities in an unrealized loss position as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

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

Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

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

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

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

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

These loans are made to finance income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail properties. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are loans where the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and business activities conducted by the party, or an affiliate of the party, who owns the property.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Grade 1 - Minimal Risk (Pass)

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

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)


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

Grade 2 - High Quality (Pass)

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

Grade 3 - Above Average (Pass)

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

Grade 4 - Average (Pass)

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

Grade 5 - Acceptable (Management Attention) (Pass)

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

Grade 6 - Special Mention

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

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

Grade 7 - Substandard

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

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)


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

Grade 8 - Doubtful

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

Grade 9 - Loss

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

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

At June 30, 2019, there were four loans to one borrower, all cross-collateralized, with related balances totaling $48, in the process of foreclosure. There was one 1-4 Family Residential property at June 30, 2019, with a recorded balance of $848 related to other real estate.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
 
Financial accounting standards relating to fair value measurements establish a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

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

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)


NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

Level 2    Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

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

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

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

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
Level 3Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

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

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

Securities available for sale: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The Company obtains fair value measurements for securities available for sale from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, cash flows and reference data, including market research publications, among other things.

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

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

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

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

Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

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

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


NOTE 6 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plan

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

On March 10, 2015, the shareholders of the Company approved the Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “A&R Plan”) that, which permits the grant of awards with respect to up to 1,250,000 shares of Company common stock in the form of stock options. As part of the merger of Commerce Union Bank and Reliantthe Bank, all outstanding stock options of Reliantthe Bank were converted to stock options of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. (now known as "Reliant Bancorp, Inc.") under the A&R Plan.

Under the A&R Plan, stock option awards may be granted in the form of incentive stock options or non-statutory
stock options, and are generally exercisable for up to 10 years following the date such option awards are granted. Exercise
prices of incentive stock options must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common stock on the grant
date.

Also, on July 23, 2019, 6,500 stock-settled restricted stock units were awarded to members of the board of directors of Reliant Bancorp. Subject to certain special vesting and forfeiture rules set forth in the underlying award agreements, these restricted stock units generally will vest on the first anniversary of the award date and will be settled promptly after vesting. None of these employee or director restricted stock units have been forfeited or vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, there was $1,250$2,066 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted sharestock and restricted stock unit awards.

NOTE 7 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. The Company meets the Small Bank Holding Company regulatory exemption limit presently set at three billion in total assets. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Management believes as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

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

NOTE 7 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED)

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

Basel III establishes a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% which began phasing in on January 1, 2016, at a rate of 0.625% per year. The buffer became fully phased in on January 1, 2019. An institution is subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if capital levels fall below minimum levels plus the buffer.

Capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank (required) are presented below as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

NOTE 9 - SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has two reportable business segments: retail banking and residential mortgage banking. Segment information is derived from the internal reporting system utilized by management. Revenues and expenses for segments reflect those which can be specifically identified and have been assigned based on internally developed allocation methods. Financial results have been presented, to the extent practicable, as if each segment operated on a stand-alone basis.

Retail Banking provides deposit and lending services to consumer and business customers within our primary geographic markets. Our customers are serviced through branch locations, ATMs, online banking, and mobile banking.

Residential Mortgage Banking originates traditional first lien residential mortgage loans and first lien home equity lines of credit throughout the United States. The traditional first lien residential mortgage loans are typically underwritten to government agency standards and sold to third-party secondary market mortgage investors. The home equity lines of credit are typically sold to participating banks or other investor groups and are underwritten to their standards.

During the second quarter of 2019, RMV began acquiring loans from approved correspondent lenders and reselling them in the secondary market. These loans are not FNMA or FHLMC qualified loans, and are of higher risk, such as, jumbo loans or senior position home equity lines of credit.

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVES

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

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVES (CONTINUED)

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $60,000 as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019 were designated as cash flow hedges of certain short-term interest bearing liabilities and subordinated debentures,which are fully effective. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets (liabilities) with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining terms of the swap agreements.

Summary information related to the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, is as follows:

NOTE 13 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The principle element of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 was originally going to be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018; however, the FASB recently issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Deferral of the Effective Date" which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to January 1, 2019. Revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and financial liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09, and non-interestnoninterest income. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company.

ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." ASU 2016-01, among other things, (i) requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment,
(iii) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to
estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance
sheet, (iv) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (v) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, (vi) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and (viii) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities. ASU 2016-01 became effective for us on January 1, 2019 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 will 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 will be effective for us on January 1, 2020 and will require transition using a modified retrospective approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements. We estimate that the effect of implementing this pronouncement will result in right to use assets of $11,455$9,821 and a corresponding liability, using the remaining contractual lease periods. We also estimate the impact on regulatory capital of the Company to be a reduction of seven basis points to the Tier 1 leverage capital ratio. Management is presently evaluating the planned renewals of existing leases. If management determines to utilize the renewals of leases then the right to use assets and corresponding liability will increase.

NOTE 13 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting
date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced
disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality
and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available for sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 is expected to be effective on January 1, 2021.2023. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-13 on our financial statements. We are currently developing an implementation plan to include assessment of processes, portfolio segmentation, model development, system requirements and the identification of data and resource needs, among other things. We are also in the process of implementing a third-party vendor solution to assist us in the application of the ASU 2016-13. The adoption of the ASU 2016-13 could result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. Furthermore, ASU 2016-13 will necessitate that we establish an allowance for expected credit losses for certain debt securities and other financial assets. While we are currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13, we expect that the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

NOTE 13 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test which required entities to compute the implied fair value of goodwill. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2021, with earlier adoption permitted and is not currently expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)

ASC 855, Subsequent Events, establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 modifiesbalance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Reliant Bancorp, Inc. evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2019 through the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in this update remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, modify/clarifydate of the specific requirements of certain disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted, and is not expected to have a significant impact on ourissued financial statements.


On October 7, 2019, Reliant Bancorp, Inc. entered into two additional interest rate swap transactions with a notional amount of $50,000 designated as cash flow hedges. These derivatives are intended to protect against the effects of changing interest rates on short-term funding.


On October 22, 2019, Reliant Bancorp, Inc. entered into a definitive agreement to acquire First Advantage Bancorp (“FABK”), the parent company for First Advantage Bank (“FAB”), located in Clarksville, Tennessee. The agreement provides for a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $123,400, or $30.67 per share of FABK common stock, based on the closing price for Reliant Bancorp, Inc. common stock of $23.65 per share on October 22, 2019.

The definitive agreement provides for the merger of PG Merger Sub, Inc., with and into FABK with FABK to be the surviving company, followed by the merger of FABK with and into Reliant Bancorp, Inc. with Reliant Bancorp, Inc. to be the surviving company. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, shareholders of FABK will receive 1.17 shares of Reliant Bancorp, Inc. common stock and $3.00 cash (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances provided for in the definitive agreement) in exchange for each share of FABK common stock. The definitive agreement has been approved by the boards of directors of both Reliant Bancorp, Inc. and FABK. The parties currently expect to consummate the transaction in the second quarter of 2020, subject to the receipt of required regulatory and shareholder approvals, as well as the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions. The Bank and FAB have entered into a separate bank merger agreement providing for the merger of FAB with and into the Bank following the merger of Reliant Bancorp, Inc. and FABK. The combined bank will operate as the Bank. Current FABK board members William Lawson Mabry and Michael E. Wallace are expected to join Reliant Bancorp, Inc.'s Board of Directors upon completion of the transaction.

Other than what is noted above, no other events meeting the requirements of disclosure arose during the time period from September 30, 2019 through the date of the issued financial statements.

Amounts in the narrative are shown in thousands, except for economic and demographic information, numbers of shares, per share amounts and as otherwise noted.
Definitive Agreement to acquire the parent company of First Advantage Bank
On October 22, 2019, Reliant Bancorp, Inc. ("Reliant Bancorp"), the parent company for Reliant Bank (the "Bank"), entered into a definitive agreement to acquire First Advantage Bancorp (“FABK”), the parent company for First Advantage Bank (“FAB”), located in Clarksville, Tennessee. The agreement provides for a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $123.4 million, or $30.67 per share of FABK common stock, based on the closing price for Reliant Bancorp common stock of $23.65 per share on October 22, 2019.
The definitive agreement provides for the merger of PG Merger Sub, Inc., with and into FABK with FABK to be the surviving company, followed by the merger of FABK with and into Reliant Bancorp with Reliant Bancorp to be the surviving company. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, shareholders of FABK will receive 1.17 shares of Reliant Bancorp common stock and $3.00 cash (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances provided for in the definitive agreement) in exchange for each share of FABK common stock. The definitive agreement has been approved by the boards of directors of both Reliant Bancorp and FABK. The parties currently expect to consummate the transaction in the second quarter of 2020, subject to the receipt of required regulatory and shareholder approvals, as well as the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions. The Bank and FAB have entered into a separate bank merger agreement providing for the merger of FAB with and into the Bank following the merger of Reliant Bancorp and FABK. The combined bank will operate as the Bank. Current FABK board members William Lawson Mabry and Michael E. Wallace are expected to join Reliant Bancorp’s Board of Directors upon completion of the transaction.
Definitive Agreement to acquire the parent company of Community Bank and Trust
On September 16, 2019, Reliant Bancorp entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Tennessee Community Bank Holdings, Inc. (“TCB Holdings”), the parent company for Community Bank & Trust (“CB&T”) located in Ashland City, Tennessee, in an approximately 50% stock and 50% cash transaction.
The definitive agreement provides for the merger of TCB Holdings with and into Reliant Bancorp, with Reliant Bancorp to be the surviving company. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, shareholders of TCB Holdings will receive 0.769 shares of Reliant Bancorp common stock (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances provided for in the definitive agreement) and $17.13 in cash in exchange for each share of TCB Holdings common stock. The 24,450 outstanding options to acquire TCB Holdings common stock are to be cashed out, which equates to additional consideration of approximately $0.40 million. Based on Reliant Bancorp's 20-day volume-weighted average closing price per share on September 16, 2019, of $23.06, this represents a total transaction value of approximately $37.2 million. The transaction value is likely to change due to fluctuations in the price of Reliant Bancorp's common stock, and the consideration payable to TCB Holdings shareholders is also subject to adjustment under certain circumstances provided for the Company's in the definitive agreement. The definitive agreement has been approved by the boards of directors of Reliant Bancorp, TCB Holdings, and CB&T. The parties currently expect to consummate the transaction in the first quarter of 2020, subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and the approval of the shareholders of TCB Holdings, as well as other customary closing conditions.

The Bank and CB&T have entered into a separate bank merger agreement providing for the merger of CB&T with and into the Bank following the merger of Reliant Bancorp and TCB Holdings. The combined bank will operate under the Reliant Bank name.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting principles we follow and our methods of applying these principles conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and with general practices within the banking industry. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The following is a brief summary of the more significant policies.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods presented include the accounts of Reliant Bancorp, Inc. ("Reliant Bancorp"), Reliantthe Bank, (the "Bank"), Community First Trups Holding Company, which is wholly owned by Reliant Bancorp (“TRUPS”), Reliant Investment Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), which is wholly owned by the Bank, and Reliant Mortgage Ventures, LLC ("RMV"), of which the Bank controls 51% of the governance rights (Reliant Bancorp, the Bank, TRUPS, Holdings, and RMV are, collectively, referred to herein as the “Company”). As described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, RMV is considered a variable interest entity for which the Bank is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As described in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements, effective on January 1, 2018, Reliant Bancorp and Community First, Inc. merged. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. GAAP and to general practices in the banking industry.

During 2011, the Bank and another entity organized RMV. Under the RMV operating agreement, the non-controlling member receives 70% of the cash flow distributions of RMV, and the Bank receives 30% of the cash flow distributions, once the non-controlling member recovers its capital contributions to RMV. The non-controlling member is required to fund RMV’s losses in arrears via additional capital contributions to RMV. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, RMV's cumulative losses to date totaled $11,121.$12,542. RMV will have to generate net income of this amount before the CompanyBank will participate in future cash flowincome distributions.

















Purchased Loans

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses on purchased loans based on credit deterioration subsequent to the acquisition date. In accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations, because we recorded all acquired loans at fair value as of the date of the Merger (as defined below), we did not establish an allowance for loan losses on any of the loans we purchased as of the acquisition date as any credit deterioration evident in the loans was included in the determination of the acquisition date fair values. For purchased credit-impaired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, management establishesis required to establish an allowance for loan losses subsequent to the date of acquisition by re-estimating expected cash flows on these loans on a quarterly basis, with any decline in expected cash flows due to a credit triggering impairment recorded as provision for loan losses. The allowance established is the excess of the loan’s carrying value over the present value of projected future cash flows, discounted at the current accounting yield of the loan or the fair value of collateral (less estimated costs to sell) for collateral dependent loans. These cash flow evaluations are inherently subjective as they require material estimates, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. While the determination of specific cash flows involves estimates, each estimate is unique to the individual loan, and none is individually significant. For non-purchased credit-impaired loans acquired in the Merger and that are accounted for under ASC 310-20, the historical loss estimates are based on the historical losses experienced by the Bank for loans with similar characteristics as those acquired other than purchased credit-impaired loans. We recordThe Bank records an allowance for loan losses only when the calculated amount exceeds the remaining credit mark established at acquisition.

Allowance for Loan Losses

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

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note to our consolidated financial statements. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.













COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIXNINE MONTHS ENDEDJUNESEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND 2018
Merger Between Reliant Bancorp, Inc. and Community First, Inc.
Effective January 1, 2018, Pioneer Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Reliant Bancorp, merged with and into Community First, Inc. (“Community First”), with Community First continuing as the surviving corporation, and immediately thereafter Community First merged with and into Reliant Bancorp, with Reliant Bancorp continuing as the surviving corporation (such transactions collectively, the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of Community First common stock converted into the right to receive 0.481 shares of Reliant Bancorp common stock. After the Merger was completed, legacy Reliant Bancorp shareholders and legacy Community First shareholders owned approximately 78.9% and 21.1%, respectively, of the common stock of the combined company.
The assets and liabilities of Community First, as of the effective date of the Merger, were recorded at their respective estimated fair values and added to those of the Company. Any excess of purchase price over the net estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Community First was allocated to all identifiable intangibles assets. Any remaining excess was then allocated to goodwill.
As of December 31, 2017, Community First, including its wholly owned subsidiaries, had total assets of approximately $480 million, total loans of $316 million and total deposits of $433 million. Community First held a loan portfolio that was primarily comprised of real estate loans.
As a result of the Merger on January 1, 2018, the Company:
grew consolidated total assets from $1,125.0 million to $1,636.0 million after giving effect to purchase accounting;
increased total loans from $762.5 million to $1,075.5 million;
increased total deposits from $883.5 million to $1,316.9 million; and
expanded its employee base from 167 to 272 full time equivalent employees.

Earnings

Net income attributable to common shareholders amounted to $4,239$4,000 and $8,063,$12,063, or $0.38$0.36 and $0.71$1.07 per basic share, for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $2,139$4,082 and $5,880,$9,962, or $0.19$0.36 and $0.52$0.88 per basic share, for the same periods in 2018. Diluted net income attributable to common shareholders was $0.38$0.36 and $0.71 per share and $0.19 and $0.51$1.07 per share for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $0.36 and June$0.87 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The major components contributing to the increaseschange when compared to the prior year are a decreasean increase of 6.5%7.3% and 1.3%1.4% in non-interestnoninterest expense for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, and an increase of 3.1%4.4% and 1.8%2.7% in net interest income for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. These and other components of earnings are discussed further below.




Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the amount by which interest earned on various earning assets exceeds interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities and is the most significant component of our revenues. The following table sets forth the amount of our average balances, interest income or interest expense for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the average interest rate for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, net interest spread and net interest margin for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, and 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Table AssumptionsAverage loan balances are inclusive of nonperforming loans. YieldsInterest income and yields computed on tax-exempt instruments are on a tax equivalent basis including a state tax credit included in loan yields of $300 and $600$900 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, and $25$350 and $50$400 for the same periods in 2018. Net interest spread is calculated as the yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the result of net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets for the period. Changes in net interest income are attributed to either changes in average balances (volume change) or changes in average rates (rate change) for earning assets and sources of funds on which interest is received or paid. Volume change is calculated as change in volume times the previous rate while rate change is change in rate times the previous volume. Changes not due solely to volume or rate changes have been allocated to volume change and rate change in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each category.







AnalysisFor the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, we recorded net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of approximately $13.8 million$14,790 and $27.3 million,$43,566, respectively, which resulted in a net interest margin (net interest income divided by the average balance of interest earning assets) of 3.57%3.51% and 3.60%3.57%, respectively. For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, we recorded net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of approximately $13.4 million$14,278 and $26.8 million,$41,999, respectively, which resulted in a net interest margin of 3.74%3.77% and 3.76%, respectively. The main factor contributing to the slight increase in our net interest income was an increase in our loans and the related yield. Our net interest income increase was partially offset by the increase in our cost of funds.


Our year-over-year average loan volume increased by approximately 13.9%14.1% for the first sixnine months ofended September 30, 2019 compared to the first sixnine months ofended September 30, 2018. Our combined loan and loan fee yield increased from 5.06%5.14% to 5.41%5.40% for the first six months of 2019 compared to 2018, while our combined loan and loan fee yield increased from 5.05% to 5.43% for the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The increased yield for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to a 2823 basis points increase in contractual loan yields including adjustment for purchase accounting accretion and an eighta four basis points increase in state tax credits, and partially offset by a one basis point decrease in loan fees. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, our combined loan and loan fee yield increased from 5.28% to 5.38% compared to the same period in 2018. The increased yield for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to a 2614 basis points increase in contractual loan yields including purchase accounting accretion, partially offset by a sixthree basis points increasedecrease in state tax credits a two basis points increase in accretion and a one basis point increasedecrease in loan fees.

Our tax equivalent yield on tax-exempt investments increased to 3.77%was 3.60% and 3.82%3.75% for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, from 3.75%compared to 3.74% and 3.66%3.69% for the same periods in 2018, respectively. This increaseThe year-over-year change was primarily driven by the restructuring of our investment restructuringsportfolio in the first and second quartershalf of 2019.2019 while the reduction of interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is associated with our variable rate securities. Our year-over-year average tax-exempt investment volume remained relatively flat for the first sixnine months ofended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Our year-over-year average taxable securities volume increased by 6.8%5.8% for the first sixnine months ofended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

Our cost of funds increased to 1.52%1.54% and 1.48%1.50% from 0.97%1.14% and 0.97%0.99% for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase in our cost of funds was primarily driven by an across the board increase in allthe cost of our interest bearing deposits and other interest bearing liabilities as well as an increase in ouraverage wholesale deposits from 28.6%6.9% of our average total deposit portfolio at March 31, 2019September 30, 2018 to 30.3%12.7% at JuneSeptember 30, 2019. We experienced a 0.6%2.9% and 0.5% increase in our average non-interestnoninterest bearing deposits for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2018.

The Bank strives to maintain a strong net interest margin that is insulated from changes in market interest rates. Our net interest margin, while generally considered fairly neutral, is currently subject to slightly contract in a rising rate environment and slightly expand in a falling rate environment.  In the lowering interest rate environment that we anticipate, the shorter durations of our non-core funding sources are expected to contribute to interest expense savings that are expected to be slightly higher than (i) the anticipated loss of interest income that are likely to be driven by certain variable rate loans and investments repricing and (ii) the increased expenses to be incurred on our interest rate swaps.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for loan losses after net recoveries have been added bringing the allowance to a level which, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb inherent losses within the existing loan portfolio.

Based upon our evaluation of the loan portfolio, we believe at September 30, 2019 the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to absorb our estimate of probable losses existing in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2019.portfolio. While policies and procedures used to estimate the allowance for loan losses, as well as the resultant provision for loan losses charged to operations, are considered adequate by management, they are necessarily approximate and imprecise. There are factors beyond our control, such as conditions in the local and national economy, local real estate market, or particular industry or borrower-specific conditions, which may materially and negatively impact our asset quality and the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and, thus, the resulting provision for loan losses.

We recorded a provision of $200$606 and $806 for loan losses for each of the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $300$322 and $437 for loan losses recorded$759 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, respectively. OurThe increase in provision for loan losses was impacted by the level of loan growth, the credit quality of the loan portfolio, and the amount of net recoveriesexpense for the three months and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019. Additionally, four out2019 can be primarily attributed to a growing loan portfolio. Also, a portion of the provision expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was used to establish a specific reserve, primarily, for one $5,000 lending relationship that experienced credit deterioration and was determined by management to be impaired. Management believes an adequate reserve has been established for the impaired credit. The Company has experienced a net recovery five of the previous six quarters that have ended with net recoveries.positively impacted provision expense during the first nine months of 2019. See “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Comparison of Balance Sheets at JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 - Allowance for Loan Losses” included herein for further analysis of the provision for loan losses.

The most significant reasons for the changes in total non-interestnoninterest income during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 are the fluctuation in gains on mortgage loans sold, net, gains on sale of other real estate, and the gains on securities transactions. These and other factors impacting non-interestnoninterest income are discussed further below.

Service charges on deposit accounts have increased and mainly reflect customer growth trends but have also been impacted by changes in our fee structures. The majority of the 4.0%17.2% and 11.7% increase for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, was driven by an increase in our debit card fees.

Securities gains and losses often fluctuate from period to period and can sometimes be attributable to various balance sheet risk strategies. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, the Company sold securities classified as available for sale totaling $52,434 with a gain of $306. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, the Company sold securities classified as available for sale totaling $92,991$100,737 with a gain of $25.$43.

Gains on mortgage loans sold, net, consists of fees from the origination and sale of mortgage loans and first-lien HELOCs. These mortgage fees are for loans originated and subsequently sold to third-party investors. All of these loan sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer. Generally, mortgage related revenue increases in lower interest rate environments and more robust housing markets and decreases in rising interest rate environments and more challenging housing markets. Mortgage-related revenue will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as the rate environment changes and as changes occur with our mortgage operations including but not limited to the number of loan originators employed and the channels available for loan sales of RMV’s products in the secondary markets. Gains on mortgage loans sold, net, amounted to $1,225$1,385 and $1,785$3,170, respectively, for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 respectively, compared to $957$1,399 and $2,662$4,061, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 when compared to 2018 is primarily driven by an initial bulk sale of first lien HELOCs upon signing an agreement with an investor, which included several months of production, that netted more than $600 in gains. As discussed further in the notes to our

consolidated financial statements, gains on mortgage loans sold are generally recognized at the time of a loan sale corresponding to the transfer of risk.

During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, there was no gain or loss due to the sale of other real estate compared to a gain of $20$150 and $109$259, respectively, in the same periods in 2018, respectively.2018.

Non-interestNoninterest income also includes appreciation in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, which was $277$283 and $555$838, respectively, for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 respectively, compared to $298$293 and $600$893, respectively, for the same periods in 2018, respectively.2018. The decrease relates to the introductory rate ending from our last purchase. The assets that support these policies are administered by the life insurance carriers and the income we receive (i.e., increases or decreases in the cash surrender value of the policies) is dependent upon the returns the insurance carriers are able to earn on the underlying investments that support the policies. Earnings on these policies generally are not expected to be taxable.

Our brokerage revenue is solely based on commissions received from established referral relationships and fluctuates based on assets under management.

The most significant reason for the decrease in total non-interestNoninterest expense of $915 and $331,increased by $885, or 6.5% and 1.3%7.3%, for the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 respectively,due in large part to an increase in salaries and employee benefits offset in part by declines in audit, legal and consulting fees as well as FDIC deposit insurance costs during the period. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 had an increase of $554, or 1.4%, and is similarly due in large part to merger expensesan increase in 2018salaries and isemployee benefits that has been partially offset by a $2,440 decrease in merger expenses. Both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 have been impacted by RMV's build out of a correspondent mortgage line-of-business that has resulted in adds to staff, additional staffing for RMVvendor relationships and opening our new branchesinvestments in Murfreesboro and Chattanooga as well as our investment in revenue producers.technology. These and other factors impacting non-interestnoninterest expense are discussed further below.

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $1,093$721 and $1,404, or 16.5% and 10.3%,$2,125 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, or 10.4%, for both of these periods compared to the same periods in 2018. This increase is attributable mainly to the increased staff for RMV, due in part, to their build out of a correspondent mortgage line-of-business, as well as our staffing of our newde novo branches in Murfreesboro during the third quarter of 2018 and Chattanooga in the fourth quarter of 2018 and other investments in revenue producers.

Certain of our facilities are leased while there are others that we own. Primarily, occupancyOccupancy costs increased $148$125 and $271,$396, or 12.2%10.1% and 11.1%10.8%, during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2018 due to the lease forcommencement of leases during the period. During the third and fourth quarters of 2018, respectively, we opened the Murfreesboro branch, which opened in the third quarter of 2018, the leaseand Chattanooga branches. Additionally, we added leases for the Chattanooga branch, which opened in the fourth quarter of 2018, the leasemortgage production offices in Memphis, for a mortgage location,Chattanooga and the leases of two mortgage locations in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Information technology costs increased by $326$238 and $387,$625, or 26.1%18.1% and 14.9%16.0%, respectively, when comparing the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 to the comparable periods in 2018. This increase is mainly attributable to increased costs due to increasing volume of accounts and transactions as well as our continued investment in information security and other technology.technology, and our increase in locations mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Advertising and public relations costs increased by $134$204 and $299,$503, or 95.0%111.5% and 130.0%121.8%, respectively, when comparing the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 to the same periods in 2018. Increased costs were primarily attributable to an upsurge inincreased promotional expenses and advertising for RMV, additional donation and sponsorship commitments, and expenses associated with the launch of a branding initiative.

Audit, legal and consulting costs decreased by $126$238 and increased by $47,$191, or 40.5% and 9.4%, respectively, or 15.4% and 3.3%, when comparing the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 to the same periods in 2018. These fluctuations are mainly attributable to the fluctuation of legal and consulting fees incurred in connection withby RMV.

Our Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")FDIC deposit insurance expense is based on our outstanding liabilities for the period multiplied by a factor determined by the FDIC, mainly driven by our most recent regulatory rating and certain financial performance factors. Our FDIC expense increaseddecreased by $25$306 and $24,$282, respectively, for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018. This increasedecrease is primarily the result of our increasesmall bank assessment credit received in deposits.the third quarter of 2019.

Merger related expenses increased by 264.6% and decreased by 100.0% and 99.9%89.0%, respectively, to $1$299 and $3$302 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 when compared to the same periods in 2018. These costs are considered one time expenses which for 2019 are associated with the definitive agreement to acquire TCB Holdings and for 2018 are associated with the Merger. All of the costs associated with the Merger and most of these expected expenses have been incurred at this point. We expect merger expenses to increase in the fourth quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2019 due to our entering into definitive agreements to acquire TCB Holdings and FABK during the third and fourth quarters of 2019, respectively.

Other operating expenses decreased by $33$76 and $106$182, or 2.5%4.6% and 3.7%4.1%, respectively, for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018 mainly due to a $196 lower of cost or market adjustment for mortgage loans held for sale in 2018 compared to none in 2019 and partially offset by the decreaseincrease in loan-related expenses such as processing costs based on volumetravel and a decreaseentertainment expense in recruiting expenses.connection with RMV.

Income Taxes

During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, we recorded consolidated income tax expense of $501$557 and $873$1,430, respectively, compared to $115$519 and $912$1,431, respectively, for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018. The Company files separate federal tax returns for the mortgage banking operationssegment and banking operations.bank segment. The taxable income or losses of the mortgage banking operations are included in the respective returns of the Bank and non-controlling member for federal purposes.

Our income tax expense attributable to shareholders for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, reflects an effective income tax rate of 12.5%14.1% and 11.9%12.6%, respectively (exclusive of a tax benefit from our mortgage banking operations of $106$97 and $214$311 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, on pre-tax losses of $1,661$1,483 and $3,312)$4,795 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively), compared to 7.7%12.3% and 14.6%13.7%, respectively, for the same period in 2018 (exclusive of a tax benefit of $63$55 and $92$147, respectively, on pre-tax losses of $1,000$897 and $1,493$2,390, respectively, from our mortgage banking operations for the comparable periods of 2018). Our tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, was favorably influenced by the increase in state tax credits of $275 per quarter. Additionally, our effective tax rate for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 is higher than the same period in 2018 primarily due to a state tax credit for a loan booked in the third quarter of 2018 from the Community Investment Tax Credit Program as well as a decrease in the proportion of our tax-exempt income to total income. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was lower than the same period in 2018 primarily due to the large amount of merger expenses in the second quarter of 2018, which reduced taxable income and increased the proportion of tax exempt income to total income.

Noncontrolling Interest in Net Loss of Subsidiary

Our non-controlling interest in net loss of subsidiary is solely attributable to RMV. theThe Bank has a 51% voting interest in this venture. Underventure, but under the terms of the related operating agreement, the non-controlling member receives 70% of the cash flow distributionsdistribution of the mortgage venture,RMV and the Bank receives 30% of any cash flow distributions,distribution, after the non-controlling member recovers its aggregate capital contributions to the venture.contributions. The non-controlling member is required to fund the mortgage venture'sRMV's losses, in arrears, via additional capital contributions to the mortgage venture.contributions. The venture had a net loss of $1,555$1,386 and $3,098$4,484, respectively, for the three and six

nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to a net loss of $937$842 and $1,401$2,243, respectively, for the same periods in 2018. The increase inincreased loss for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 when compared to the same periods in 2018 is mainly attributable to the increase in salaries and benefits due to increased staff,staffing levels, increased occupancy costs due to the opening of new locations, expenses associated with launching the correspondent mortgage group and consulting and advertising fees previously mentioned. These amountsexpenses are included in our consolidated results. Also, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for segment reporting.


COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT JUNESEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND DECEMBER 31, 2018

Overview

The Company’s total assets were $1,794,248$1,852,487 at JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and $1,724,338 at December 31, 2018. Our assetsAssets increased by 4.1%7.4% from December 31, 2018 to JuneSeptember 30, 2019. The increase was substantially attributable2019, primarily due to theloan growth in net loans during the period of $80.8 million,$118,208, or 6.6%, discussed further below. This increase was partially offset by the decline in investment of $5,950 ,or 2.0%, and mortgage loans held for sale by $4.3 million, or 26.9%9.7%. The Company’s totalTotal liabilities were $1,580,305$1,632,835 at JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and $1,515,924 at December 31, 2018, an increase of 4.2%7.7%. The increase in liabilities from December 31, 2018 to JuneSeptember 30, 2019, was substantially attributable to the increase in deposits of $112.4 million,$172,730, or 7.8%12.0% ,and the increase was partially offset by the decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)("FHLB") advances of $46 million$53,570, or 80.7%93.2%, during the period. These and other components of our balance sheets are discussed further below.

Loans

Lending-related income is the largest component of our net interest income and is a major contributor to profitability. The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets, and it, therefore, generates the largest portion of revenues. The absolute volume of loans and the volume of loans as a percentage of earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin as loans are expected to produce higher yields than securities and other earning assets. As previously described, the competition for quality loans in our markets has remained strong. Our goal is to steadily grow our loan portfolio, focusing on quality. This is not always possible for various reasons, including but not limited to scheduled maturities or early payoffs exceeding new loan volume. Early payoffs typically increase in lowering rate environments as customers identify advantageous opportunities for refinancing. We have been adding experienced lending officers to our staff to help with loan growth. We have expanded our Middle Tennessee footprint into Maury and Hickman Counties with the Merger, and in the third and fourth quarter of 2018, we opened full service branches in Murfreesboro and Chattanooga where we previously had only loan production offices. Total loans, net, at JuneSeptember 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, were $1,301,019$1,338,392 and $1,220,184, respectively. This represented an increase of 6.6%9.7% from December 31, 2018 to JuneSeptember 30, 2019.

Consumer loans mainly consist of loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures under revolving credit plans, credit cards, automobile and other consumer loans. We have a small amount of credit card loans on our balance sheet due to the implementation of a new credit card program during the third quarter of 2017. We have a relatively small number of automobile loans. Our consumer loans experienced a decrease from December 31, 2018, to JuneSeptember 30, 2019, of 7.9%14.9%.

Other loans consist mainly of loans to states and political subdivisions and loans to other depository institutions and experienced a decrease of 5.4%6.1% from December 31, 2018 to JuneSeptember 30, 2019.

The repayment of loans is a source of additional liquidity for us. The following table sets forth the loans repricing or maturing within specific intervals at JuneSeptember 30, 2019, excluding unearned net fees and costs.

The information presented in the above table is based upon the contractual maturities or next repricing date of the individual loans, including loans which may be subject to renewal at their contractual maturity. Renewal of such loans is subject to review and credit approval, as well as modification of terms upon their maturity. Consequently, we believe this treatment presents fairly the maturity and repricing structure of the loan portfolio.

Allowance for Loan Losses

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


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

At JuneSeptember 30, 2019, the allowance for loan losses was $11,666$12,291 compared to $10,892 at December 31, 2018. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.89%0.91% at JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to 0.88% at December 31, 2018.

Nonperforming Assets

Non-performingNonperforming assets consist of non-performingnonperforming loans plus real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Non-performingNonperforming loans by definition consist of non-accrualnonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. When we place a loan on non-accrualnonaccrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected interest is reversed and charged against current income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis, or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured, which generally includes a minimum performance of six months.

Investment Securities and Other Earning Assets

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

losses on sales are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying value amount of the securities sold using the specific identification method.



Securities totaled $290,373$297,310 at JuneSeptember 30, 2019, a 2.0% decrease fromwhich was relatively flat in comparison to the $296,323 in securities balances at December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to the planned rotation of $25.5 million in investments to loansActivity during the second quarter of 2019. Other factors includenine months ended September 30, 2019 includes the sale of $52,434 of securities as well as $8,587 of principal paydowns, calls, and maturities, of $5,418 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, offset by purchasing $41,083$47,870 of securities available for sale during the same period.

Restricted equity securities totaled $11,488$11,279 and $11,690 at JuneSeptember 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively, and consist of Federal Reserve BankFRB and Federal Home Loan BankFHLB stock.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment, net, totaled $21,632$21,390 at JuneSeptember 30, 2019 compared to $22,033 at December 31, 2018, a net decrease of $401,$643, or 1.8%2.9%. Premises and equipment purchases amounted to approximately $590$843 during the first sixnine months ofended September 30, 2019 and were mainly incurred for additional leasehold improvements for our branches and new mortgage locations while depreciation expense amounted to $991.$1,486. At JuneSeptember 30, 2019, we operated from 17 retail banking locations as well as five stand-alone mortgage loan production offices. Two of our bank branch locations, including our main office, are in Brentwood, Tennessee. Of our other 15 bank branch locations three are in Columbia, and the remaining are in Franklin, Springfield, Gallatin, Nashville, Murfreesboro, Mt. Pleasant, ThompsonThompson's Station, Centerville, Lyles, and Chattanooga, Tennessee. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, our mortgage loan production offices were located Brentwood, Hendersonville, and Memphis, Tennessee as well as two in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Deposits


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

At JuneSeptember 30, 2019, total deposits were $1,550,280,$1,610,633, an increase of $112,377,$172,730, or 7.8%12.0%, compared to $1,437,903 at December 31, 2018. During the first sixnine months ofended September 30, 2019, non-interestnoninterest bearing demand deposits increased by $8.4 million,$20,980, interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $10.0 million,$4,776, savings and money market deposits decreased by $32.5 million,$4,065, and time deposits increased by $146.4 million.$160,591. A substantial portion of the increase in deposits is attributable to the increased use of a variety of wholesale deposit products as part of our strategy to lower our funding costs.

Market and Liquidity Risk Management

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

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

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

Our policy is to have 12 and 24-month cumulative repricing gaps that do not exceed 25% of assets. We were in compliance with our policy as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019. Although we do monitor our gap on a periodic basis, we recognize the potential shortcomings of such a model. The static nature of the gap schedule makes it difficult to incorporate changes in behavior that are caused by changes in interest rates. Also, although the periods of estimated and contractual repricing are identified in the analysis, the extent of repricing is not modeled in the gap schedule (i.e. whether repricing is expected to move on a one-to-one or other basis in relationship to the market changes simulated). For these and other shortcomings, we rely more heavily on the earnings simulation model and the economic value of equity model discussed further below.

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


Instantaneous,
Parallel Change in
Prevailing Interest
Rates Equal to
 
Estimated Change in Net Interest Income and Policy of Maximum
Percentage Decline in Net Interest Income
 
Estimated Change in Net Interest Income and Policy of Maximum

+400 bp 1.0% (25)% 3.1% (25)% 1.0% (25)% 1.3% (25)%

We were in compliance with our earnings simulation model policies as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, indicating what we believe to be a fairly neutral interest-rate risk profile.

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

To help monitor our related risk, we have established the following policy limits regarding simulated changes in our economic value of equity:

Instantaneous, Parallel Change in Prevailing
Interest Rates Equal to
 
Maximum Percentage Decline in Economic Value of
Equity from the Economic Value of Equity at
Currently Prevailing Interest Rates
+100 bp 15%
+200 bp 25%
+300 bp 30%
+400 bp 35%
Non-parallel shifts 35%

At JuneSeptember 30, 2019, our model results indicated that we were within these policy limits.

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

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

continuous maturing of other earning assets are sources of liquidity from an asset perspective. The liability base provides sources of liquidity through attraction of increased deposits and borrowing funds from various other institutions and sources.

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

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

The Company has established a line of credit with the FHLB, which is secured by a blanket pledge of 1-4 family residential mortgages, multi-family residential, Commercial Real Estate,commercial real estate, and home equity loans, and available-for-sale securities. At JuneSeptember 30, 2019, FHLB advances totaled $11,119$3,928 compared to $57,498 as of December 31, 2018. The decrease in FHLB advances generally is attributable to our increase in deposits, mainly our increase in time deposits from the State of Tennessee and otherless expensive brokered deposits, and the decrease in our mortgage loans held for sale and securities and somewhat offset by our increase in loans.deposits.


At JuneSeptember 30, 2019, the scheduled maturities of our FHLB advances and interest rates were as follows (scheduled maturities will differ from scheduled repayments):

On July 14, 2017, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to offer, issue and sell from time to time in one or more offerings any combination of (i) common stock, (ii) preferred stock, (iii) debt securities, (iv) depositary shares, (v) warrants, and (vi) units, up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $75,000,000. The net proceeds from any offering will be used for general corporate purposes including acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments, and the repayment, redemption, or refinancing

of any indebtedness or other securities. Until allocated to such purposes it is expected that we will invest any proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments or other investment-grade securities.

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

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five capital classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At JuneSeptember 30, 2019, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since these notifications that management believes have changed the institution’s category. Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for the Company and Bank.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

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

Off-Balance Sheet Lending Arrangements

Off-balance sheet arrangements generally consist of unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments were as follows at JuneSeptember 30, 2019:

June 30, 2019September 30, 2019
Unused lines of credit$284,103

Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The total notional amount of swap agreements was $80,605,$79,605 and $81,505, respectively, at JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.2018. At JuneSeptember 30, 2019 the contracts had negative fair values totaling $3,575 recorded. Atand December 31, 2018, the contracts had negative fair values totaling $4,273 and $716, recorded.respectively.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Reliant Bancorp is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, even if Reliant Bancorp chooses to comply with the reporting requirements of public companies that are not emerging growth companies, Reliant Bancorp may avail itself of the reduced requirements applicable to emerging growth companies from time to time in the future, so long as Reliant Bancorp is an emerging growth company. Reliant Bancorp will remain an emerging growth company for up to five yearsthrough fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, or until such earlier time that we have more than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. Management cannot predict if investors will find Reliant Bancorp’s common stock less attractive because it will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find Reliant Bancorp’s common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for its common stock and Reliant Bancorp’s stock price may be more volatile.

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

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

This Itemitem is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.


Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.        Legal Proceedings.

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

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

There are no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in Reliant Bancorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except as described below.

Uncertainty AboutWe may not be able to successfully integrate the Continuing Availabilitybusinesses we recently entered into definitive agreements to acquire or to realize the anticipated benefits of LIBOR May Adversely Affect Our Business. the acquisitions.

On July 27, 2017,Upon consummation of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority,Transactions, we will begin the process of integrating TCB Holdings and First Advantage. A successful integration of these businesses with ours will depend substantially on our ability to consolidate operations, corporate cultures, systems and procedures and to eliminate redundancies and costs. We may not be able to combine our business with these businesses we recently entered into definitive agreements to acquire without encountering difficulties, such as:

the loss of key employees;
the disruption of operations and business;
inability to maintain and increase competitive presence;
loan and deposit attrition, customer loss and revenue loss;
possible inconsistencies in standards, control procedures and policies;
unexpected problems with costs, operations, personnel, technology and credit; and/or
problems with the assimilation of new operations, sites or personnel, which regulatescould divert resources from regular banking operations.

Additionally, general market and economic conditions or governmental actions affecting the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR"), announcedfinancial industry generally may inhibit our successful integration of TCB Holdings and First Advantage. Further, we have entered into definitive agreements to acquire TCB Holdings and First Advantage with the expectation that it intendsthese acquisitions will result in various benefits including, among other things, benefits relating to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit ratesenhanced revenues, a strengthened market position for the calculationcombined company, cross selling opportunities, technological efficiencies, cost savings and operating efficiencies. Achieving the anticipated benefits of LIBOR after December 31, 2021. The announcement indicates thatthese acquisitions is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether we integrate TCB Holdings and First Advantage in an efficient and effective manner, and general competitive factors in the continuation of LIBORmarketplace. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits on the current basis cannotanticipated timeframes, or at all, could result in a reduction in the price of our shares as well as in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and will not be guaranteed after 2021. It is impossible to predict whetherdiversion of management's time and to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR, whether LIBOR rates will cease to be published or supported before or after 2021 or whetherenergy and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Finally, any additional reforms to LIBORcost savings that are realized may be enactedoffset by losses in revenues or other charges to earnings.

We expect to the nature of alternative reference rates and as to potential changes in other reforms to LIBOR may adversely affect LIBOR rates and the value of LIBOR-based loans, and to a lesser extent securities in our portfolio, and may impact the availability and cost of hedging instruments and borrowings, including the rates we pay on our subordinated debentures. If LIBOR rates are no longer available, any successor or replacement interest rates may perform differently, and we may incur significant costs to transition both our borrowing arrangementsassociated with combining the operations of TCB Holdings and the loan agreementsFirst Advantage with our customers from LIBOR,operations. Unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of our business with the businesses of TCB Holdings and First Advantage. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may offset incremental transaction and merger-related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.

Whether or not the Transactions are consummated, we will incur substantial expenses, such as legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, in pursuing the Transactions which maywill adversely impact our earnings. Completion of the Transactions are conditioned upon customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all required governmental authorizations, consents, orders and approvals, including approval by certain federal and state banking regulators. We and TCB Holdings and First Advantage intend to pursue all required approvals in accordance with the respective definitive agreements. However, there can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained on the anticipated timeframe, or at all.

Failure to complete the Transactions could have ana material adverse effect on our business, future operations, and stock price.
