Further, statements about the potential effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable, and in many cases beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, other third parties, and us.

You should also consider carefully the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, 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 thereotherwise listed may develop or, if currently extant, we may not have yet recognized them.


The forward-lookingForward-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.

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.

ReclassificationsRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


Certain reclassifications were madeInformation about certain issued accounting standards updates is presented below. Also refer to Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Recent Authoritative Accounting Guidance” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information related to previously issued accounting standards updates.

ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 requires 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 went into effect for the Company on January 1, 2020 and the Company elected the prospective application approach provided by ASU 2018-11 and did not adjust prior periods for ASC 842. The Company also elected certain practical expedients within the standard and consistent with such elections did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and did not reassess any initial direct costs for existing leases. The effect of implementing this pronouncement resulted in right to use assets of $11,973 and a similar corresponding liability, as of January 1, 2020.

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 was early adopted as of January 1, 2020 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as it simplifies the test of impairment of goodwill.

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

Newly Issued not yet Effective Accounting Standards

ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the Septembersignificant 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 for the Company on January 1, 2023. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-13 on the Company's financial statements by developing an implementation plan to include assessment of processes, portfolio segmentation, model development, system requirements and the identification of data and resource needs, among other things. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 could result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses as a 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. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326), Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), and Financial Instruments (ASC 825). The amendments in this ASU improve the codification by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The amended guidance in this ASU related to credit losses is expected to be effective for the Company in conjunction with the adoption of the standard on January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these ASUs on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. While we are currently unable to

Management has the intent and ability to hold all securities in an unrealized loss position for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. TheAs the fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or market rates decline.decline, we do not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2020. There were 5643 and 24247 securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

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

Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial,industrialand 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.

Multi-family and commercial real estate: Multi-family and commercial real estate 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 comprising 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)

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

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

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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2018
(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. The 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.


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.

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 affectedeffected in the future. Amounts classified loss should be promptly charged off. The Company will not attempt long term recoveries while the credit remains on the Company’s books. Losses should be taken in the period in which they surface as uncollectible. With loss assets, the underlying borrowers are often in bankruptcy, have formally suspended debt repayments, or have otherwise ceased normal business operations. Once an asset is classified loss, there is little prospect of collecting either its principal or interest.


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

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

NOTE 4 - OTHER REAL ESTATELEASES


At September 30, 2019On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and December 31, 2018,all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. The Company elected the prospective application approach provided by ASU 2018-11 and did not adjust prior periods for ASC 842. Leases with initial terms of less than one year are not recorded on the balance sheet.

The Company’s long-term lease agreements are classified as operating leases. Certain of other real estate owned includes $1,943these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and $1,000, respectively, of foreclosed residential real estate properties recorded as a result of obtaining physical possessionthe Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the properties. Duringlease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably assured of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

The implementation of the new standard resulted in recognition of a right-of-use asset of $12.0 million and a lease liability of $11.9 million at the date of adoption, which is related to the Company’s lease of premises used in operations. The Company used a discount rate of 4.5% in determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability as of January 1, 2020.

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 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 20182019
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)




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

Level 2    InputsA maturity analysis of operating lease liabilities and a reconciliation of undiscounted cash flows to the valuation methodology include:total operating lease liability is as follows:


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 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

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. 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”), 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 the Bank, all outstanding stock options of the 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.
On June 18, 2015, the shareholders of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. (now known as "Reliant Bancorp, Inc.") approved the Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which reserves up to 900,000 shares of common stock to be subject to awards under the plan, including awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock grants, performance-based awards, and other awards denominated or payable by reference to or based on or related to common stock.

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 September 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 September 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.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)


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 September 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 105 - DERIVATIVES


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


Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges


Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $60,000$160,000 as of September 30, 20192020 were designated as cash flow hedges of certain short-term interest bearinginterest-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. NaN gains or losses were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into net income during the periods presented.



Summary information related to the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2019,2020, is as follows:
Notional amounts$160,000 
Weighted average pay rates2.050 %

NOTE 6 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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

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

The Company has recognized stock-based compensation expense, within salaries and employee benefits for employees, and within other non-interest expense for directors, in the consolidated statement of income as follows:

NOTE 7 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action or affect the amount of dividends the Company and the Bank may distribute. Management believes that as of September 30, 2020, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

Capital amounts and ratios for Reliant Bancorp and the Bank (required) are presented below as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

NOTE 9 - 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    Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2    Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Interest rate swaps: The fair values of interest rate swaps and fair value hedges are determined based on 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 an impaired loan 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
26

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)




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.

Other Real Estate: The fair value of other real estate is generally based on recent real estate appraisals less estimated disposition cost. These appraisals may use 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 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.

The following table sets forth the Company’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

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 10 - SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has 2 reportable business segments: commercial 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.

Commercial 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 government agency-qualified loans and are of higher risk, such as jumbo loans or senior position home equity lines of credit.

First Advantage Bancorp

Effective April 1, 2020, Reliant Bancorp completed the acquisition of FABK pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 22, 2019 (the “FABK Agreement”)implements, by and among Reliant Bancorp, FABK, and PG Merger Sub, Inc., a Tennessee corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Reliant Bancorp ("Merger Sub"). On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the FABK Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into FABK (the "FABK Transaction"), with FABK as the surviving corporation, followed immediately by the merger of FABK with and into Reliant Bancorp, with Reliant Bancorp as the surviving corporation. Immediately following the merger of FABK into Reliant Bancorp, First Advantage Bank, a Tennessee-chartered commercial bank and wholly owned subsidiary of FABK ("FAB"), merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank continuing as the surviving banking corporation. Pursuant to the FABK Agreement, at the effective time of the FABK Transaction, each outstanding share of FABK common revenue standard that clarifiesstock, par value $0.01 per share (the “FABK Common Stock”), other than certain excluded shares, was converted into the principlesright to receive (i) 1.17 shares of Reliant Bancorp Common Stock and (ii) $3.00 in cash, without interest. In lieu of the issuance of fractional shares of Reliant Bancorp Common Stock, Reliant Bancorp agreed to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the volume-weighted average closing price per share of Reliant Bancorp Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market for recognizing revenue. The principle elementthe 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including March 30, 2020 (calculated as $11.74). Based on the April 1, 2020 opening price for Reliant Bancorp Common Stock of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer$11.27 per share and 3,935,165 shares of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflectsFABK Common Stock outstanding on April 1, 2020, the consideration to whichfor 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 obligationsFABK Transaction was approximately $64,094, in the contract, (iii) determineaggregate, or $16.28 per share of FABK Common Stock.

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.

Table of ASU 2014-09, and noninterest income. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company.Contents

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 $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.

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, 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. 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.

The non-controlling member is required to fund RMV’s losses in arrears via additional capital contributions to RMV. As of September 30, 2019,2020, RMV's cumulative losses to date totaled $12,542.$14,707. RMV will have to generate net income of at least this amount before the Bank will participate in future incomecash flow 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 loans acquired loansfrom TCB Holdings and FABK at fair value as of the datedates of the Merger (as defined below),TCB Holdings Transaction and the FABK Transaction, respectively, 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 is required to establish an allowance for loan losses subsequent to the datedates 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 for loan losses 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-impairedpurchased non-credit-impaired loans acquired in the MergerTCB Holdings Transaction and the FABK Transaction 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. The 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
37

Table of Contents
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.off as uncollectible.


A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. All classified loans and loans on nonaccrual 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.


Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact

The following is a description of certain impacts the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is having on our financial condition and results of operations and certain risks to our business that the pandemic creates or exacerbates.

Operational Impact

As part of our pandemic response, we have encouraged a significant portion of our employees to work from home. We have also extended virtual medical coverage to all employees as well as provided pay to employees who may have been exposed as they quarantine at home. We are encouraging virtual meetings and conference calls in place of in-person meetings, including our earnings call and investor meetings which were held virtually this quarter. We are promoting social distancing, frequent hand washing, thorough disinfection of all surfaces, and the use of masks or nose and mouth coverings have been mandated in all of our locations. We have reopened all branches for normal business hours. Banking center drive-ups, ATMs and online/mobile banking services continue to operate. Infection rates in the communities we serve vary by region and we will make prudent decisions for the safety of our colleagues and our clients.

Loan Modifications

Section 4013 of the CARES Act, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020, provides that financial institutions may elect to account for loan modifications occurring between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of December 31, 2020 and the 60th day after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency declared by President Trump, which are due to COVID-19 and where the borrower was current on contractual payments as of December 31, 2019, as not TDRs. Additionally, on April 7, 2020, federal banking regulators issued an Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications by Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised), which replaced a prior interagency statement predating the CARES Act. The revised interagency statement encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers that may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. It also addresses loan modifications not meeting the criteria set forth in Section 4013 of the CARES Act or for which financial institutions elect not to apply Section 4013. With respect to these loan modifications, the revised interagency statement provides that short-term (e.g. six month) modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current on their contractual payments at the time of implementation of a modification program are not TDRs.

38

Table of Contents
Through September 30, 2020, the Company had applied this guidance to approve initial modifications in April and May 2020 for loans with principal balances of $530.7 million. The majority of these modifications involved extensions of up to three months of either interest-only periods or full payment deferrals. Through September 30, 2020, further modifications were approved for $21.8 million of the loans previously modified. Additional modifications are likely to be executed in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Liquidity

The CARES Act provided for over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the SBA to administer new loan programs, including, but not limited to, the guarantee of loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the "Paycheck Protection Program".

An eligible business could apply for a PPP loan in an amount up to the lesser of: (1) 2.5 times its average monthly “payroll costs” or (2) $10.0 million. PPP loans have: (a) an interest rate of 1.0%; (b) a two-year loan term to maturity for loans made prior to June 5, 2020, or a five-year loan term to maturity for loans made on or after June 5, 2020; and (c) principal and interest payments deferred for 10 months after the end of the borrower's loan forgiveness covered period. The SBA will guarantee 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be reduced by the loan forgiveness amount under the PPP so long as employee and compensation levels of the business are maintained and 60% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll expenses, with the remaining 40% of the loan proceeds used for other qualifying expenses.

Through September 30, 2020, we had received SBA authorizations for 893 PPP loans totaling $83,290 and related fees of $3,296. Participation in the PPP will likely have an impact on the Company's asset mix and net interest margin for the remainder of 2020. At September 30, 2020, we had $93,000 in federal funds lines available and $337,000 of available borrowing capacity from correspondent banks. In addition, the Federal Reserve has implemented a liquidity facility available to financial institutions participating in the PPP. As such, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity sources to continue to provide this important service to local businesses if and as additional funds are appropriated for the PPP.

As of September 30, 2020, the Bank's capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While we believe that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, our reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by future credit losses.

Asset Impairment

At September 30, 2020, our level of non-performing assets was not materially impacted by the economic pressures of COVID-19. We are closely monitoring credit risk and our exposure to increased loan losses resulting from the impact of COVID-19 on our commercial and other clients.

At this time, we do not believe there exists any impairment to our intangible assets, long-lived assets, right of use assets, or available-for-sale investment securities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is uncertain whether prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will result in future impairment charges related to any of the aforementioned assets.


Risks

See Part II , Item 1A. "Risk Factors" for more information.

Allowance for Loan Loss

We are in regular communication with our customers to gain a better understanding of our highest risk exposures and probable defaults. In the third quarter of 2020 we recorded a provision expense of $1.5 million, which can be attributed to increased risk factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as our loan growth. Our losses year-to-date remain low but we continue to build reserves as we anticipate future downgrades and defaults may eventually result in losses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures



This Quarterly Report contains certain financial measures that are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" and should be read along with the accompanying tables. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing performance and operations and enhance comparability across periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not, however, be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and readers should consider the Company’s performance and financial condition as reported under U.S. GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical

tools, and readers should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results or financial condition as reported under U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures (even those with the same or similar names) presented by other companies.

Company management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, the following non-GAAP financial measures, among others, to assess the Company's operating results and trends: (i) tax-equivalent net interest income; (ii) adjusted net interest income; (iii) adjusted net interest margin; (iv) adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders; (v) adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders, per diluted share; (vi) adjusted return on average assets; (vii) adjusted return on average shareholders' equity; (viii) average tangible shareholders' equity; (ix) return on average tangible common equity (ROATCE); and (x) adjusted return on average tangible common equity. In the following table, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Table AssumptionsAverage loan balances are inclusive of nonperforming loans. Interest income and yields computed on tax-exempt instruments are on a tax equivalenttax-equivalent basis including a state tax credit included in loan yields of $300$751 and $900$1,834 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, and $350$300 and $400$900 for the same periods in 2018.2019. Net interest spread is calculated as the yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.liabilities as well as tax-exempt securities adjustments of $347 and $1,095 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $423 and $1,320 for the same periods in 2019. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of approximately $31,643 and $80,570, respectively, which resulted in a net interest margin (net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets) of 4.54% and 4.30%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded net interest income on a tax equivalenttax-equivalent basis of approximately $14,790$14,787 and $43,566, respectively, which resulted in a net interest margin (net interest income divided by the average balance of interest earning assets) of 3.51% and 3.57%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of approximately $14,278 and $41,999, respectively, which resulted in a net interest margin of 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 14.1%63.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019 and was mainly driven by the TCB Holdings Transaction and FABK

Our combined loan and loan fee yield increased from 5.14%5.38% to 5.73% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 and increased from 5.40% to 5.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 compared to the same period in 2018.2019. The increased yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to a 23 basis points increase in contractual loan yields including adjustment for purchase accounting accretion and a 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 September 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to a 14 basis points increase in contractual loan yields including purchase accounting accretion, partially offset by a three basis points decrease in state tax credits and a one basis point decrease in loan fees.

Our tax equivalent yield on tax-exempt investments was 3.60% and 3.75% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 3.74% and 3.69% for the same periods in 2018, respectively. The year-over-year change was2020 is primarily driven by the restructuring of our investment portfolio in the first half of 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 comparedattributable to the same period in 2018.

Our cost of funds increased to 1.54%tax-equivalent yield on tax-exempt investments was 3.29% and 1.50% from 1.14% and 0.99%3.46% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 3.60% and 3.75% for the same periods in 2019. Our year-over-year average tax-exempt investment volume decreased by 14.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 due to investment sales in the fourth quarter of 2019. Our year-over-year average taxable securities volume decreased by 6.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

Our cost of funds decreased to 0.79% and 0.97% from 1.54% and 1.50%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2018.2019. The increasedecrease in our cost of funds was primarily driven by an across the board increasea decrease in the cost of our interest bearinginterest-bearing deposits and other interest bearinginterest-bearing liabilities as well as an increasedue to the recent decrease in average wholesale deposits from 6.9% of our average total deposit portfolio at September 30, 2018 to 12.7% at September 30, 2019.rates by the Federal Reserve.

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 contractslight expansions in a rising rate environment and slightly expandslight contractions in a falling rate environment. In the loweringThe Company has 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 likely to be driven byfloors on certain variable rate loans and investments repricing and (ii) the increased expenses to be incurred on ourthose floors will mitigate further declines in interest rate swaps.rates.


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. 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 $606$1,500 and $806$7,400 for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, compared to $322$606 and $759$806 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.2019. The increase in provision expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 can be primarily attributed to the recent downturn in the economy due to COVID-19 while a portion is due to the growing loan portfolio. Also, a portion of the provision expenseThe acquired loan portfolios from First Advantage Bank and Community Bank & Trust are reserved for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was used to establish a specific reserve, primarily, for one $5,000 lending relationshipthrough fair value marks that experiencedconsider both credit deteriorationquality and was determined by management to be impaired.

The most significant reasons for the changes in total noninterest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 compared to the same periods in 20182019 are the fluctuation in gains on mortgage loans sold, net gains on sale of other real estate, andas well as the gains on securities transactions.increase in service charges mainly attributable to the two mergers. These and other factors impacting noninterest income are discussed further below.

Service charges and fees on deposit accounts have increased due to the TCB Holdings Transaction, the FABK Transaction, and mainly reflect customer growth trends but have also been impacted by changesthe concentrated effort to attract noninterest-bearing deposits. An increase in our fee structures.

Securities gains and losses often fluctuate from period to period and can sometimes be attributable to various balance sheet risk strategies. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold securities totaling $103,901 with a gain of $327. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company sold securities classified as available for sale totaling $52,434 with a gain of $306. DuringSecurities were not sold in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold securities classified as available for sale totaling $100,737 with a gain of $43.2020 or September 30, 2019.


Gains on mortgage loans sold, net, consists of fees from the origination and sale of mortgage loans and first-lien HELOCs. These 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 relatedmortgage-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 $1,385$3,783 and $3,170, respectively,$7,605 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020, respectively, compared to $1,399$1,385 and $4,061, respectively,$3,170 for the same periods in the prior year. The decreaseincrease in gains for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 when compared to 2018the same periods in 2019 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 $600the increase in gains.volume in the traditional mortgage market. As discussed further in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, gains on mortgage loans sold are generally recognized at the time of a loan sale corresponding to the transfer of risk.

During As a result of increased production in the threesecond and nine months endedthird quarters, the Company's held-for-sale portfolio increased by $62.1 million from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2019, there was no gain or loss due to the sale of other real estate compared to a gain of $150 and $259, respectively, in the same periods in 2018.2020.


Noninterest income also includes appreciation in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, which was $283$386 and $838, respectively,$1,073 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020, respectively, compared to $293$283 and $893, respectively,$838 for the same periods in 2018.2019. The decrease relatesincreases for both periods are attributable to the introductory rate ending from our last purchase.recent mergers. 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.

This increase is mainly attributable to increased costs due to an increased volume of accounts and transactions services as well as continued investments in information technology infrastructure. Both the volume and location increases are primarily due to the TCB Holdings Transaction, the FABK Transaction, and the expansion of RMV.

Professional fees increased by $371 or 91.8%, and $97 or 5.3%, respectively, when comparing the three and nine months ended September 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, and our increase in locations mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Advertising and public relations costs increased by $204 and $503, or 111.5% and 121.8%, respectively, when comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020, to the same periods in 2018. Increased costs were primarily attributable to increased 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 $238 and $191, or 40.5% and 9.4%, respectively, when comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 to the same periods in 2018. These fluctuations are2019. This fluctuation is mainly attributable to the fluctuation of legal and consultingincreased fees incurredrelated to special projects by RMV.the Company.


Our regulatory expenses are largely made up of FDIC deposit insurance expense which 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 decreasedincreased by $306$382 and $282, respectively,$760 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, compared to the same periods in 2018.2019.

These costs are considered one-time expenses which are associated with the TCB Holdings Transaction and $302the FABK Transaction. We anticipate no further significant merger expenses to be incurred in relation to these two transactions.

Other operating expenses increased by $822 or 45.3% and $1,503 or 30.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 when2020 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 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 $76 and $182, or 4.6% and 4.1%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 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 thean increase in travelamortization of core deposit intangibles and entertainment expense in connection with RMV.franchise taxes due to the TCB Holdings Transaction and FABK Transaction.


Income Taxes


During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, we recorded consolidated income tax expense of $557$2,800 and $1,430,$3,524, respectively, compared to $519$557 and $1,431,$1,430, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019.

Additionally, our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 is higher than the same period in 20182019 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 decreasechange in the proportion of our tax-exempt income to total income.

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, theThe competition for quality loans in our markets has remained strong. Our goal is to steadily grow our loan portfolio, focusing on quality. This is not always possible for various reasons, including but not limited to scheduled maturities or early payoffs exceeding new loan volume.volume, as well as economic conditions. Early payoffs typically increase in loweringfalling rate environments as customers identify advantageous opportunities for refinancing.

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 nonaccrual 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 September 30, 2019,2020, the allowance for loan losses was $12,291$19,834 compared to $10,892$12,578 at December 31, 2018.2019. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.91%0.84% at September 30, 20192020 compared to 0.88%0.89% at December 31, 2018.2019.

Nonperforming Assets


Nonperforming assets consistconsists of nonperforming loans plus real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.foreclosure and other repossessed collateral. Nonperforming loans by definition consistconsists of nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. When we place a loan on nonaccrual 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 exposureinvestment grade holdings and consists of securities classified as available-for-sale. All available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value and may be used for liquidity purposes should management deem it to be in our best interest. Unrealized gains and losses on this portfolio are excluded from earnings, but are reported as other comprehensive income in a separate component of stockholders’shareholders’ equity, net of income taxes. Premium amortization and discount accretion are recognized as adjustments to interest income using the interest method. Realized gains or losses on sales are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying value amount of the securities sold using the specific identification method.


Securities totaled $297,310$273,893 at September 30, 2019, which was relatively flat2020, in comparison to the $296,323$260,293 in securities balances at December 31, 2018.2019. This increase can largely be attributed to the Company's investment in bank holding company subordinated debt offerings and U.S. Treasuries during the period of $31,179. Activity during the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 includes the sale of $52,434

As of September 30, 2019, our mortgage loan production offices were located Brentwood, Hendersonville, and Memphis, Tennessee as well as two in Little Rock, Arkansas.FABK Transaction.


Deposits


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


At September 30, 2019,2020, total deposits were $1,610,633,$2,565,502, an increase of $172,730,$981,049, or 12.0%61.9%, compared to $1,437,903$1,584,453 at December 31, 2018.2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, noninterest bearing demand deposits increased by $20,980,$278,163, interest-bearing demand deposits decreasedincreased by $4,776,$120,087, savings and money market deposits decreasedincreased by $4,065,$404,277, and time deposits increased by $160,591. A substantial portion$178,522. The primary driver of the increase in deposits is attributable to the increased usedeposits acquired in the TCB Holdings Transaction which totaled $210,538 coupled with those acquired in the FABK Transaction which totaled

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 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 withslightly exceeded our policy as of September 30, 2019.2020 for the 12-month cumulative repricing gap. 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 reasons and as a result of other model 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 negative 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:

+400 bp 1.0% (25)% 1.3% (25)%+400 bp6.7%(25)%14.2%(25)%


We were in compliance with our earnings simulation model policies as of September 30, 2019,2020, indicating what we believe to be a fairly neutral interest-rate risk profile.


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


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±100bp15%
+±200 bp25%
+±300 bp30%
+±400 bp35%
Non-parallel shifts35%


At September 30, 2019,2020, 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 loans, have features (generally referred to as interest rate caps and floors) which limit changes in interest rates. Prepayment and early withdrawal levels also could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the maturity of certain instruments. The ability of many borrowers to service their debts also may decrease during periods of rising interest rates. Our ALCO reviews each of the above interest rate sensitivity analyses along with several different interest rate scenarios as part of its responsibility to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established liquidity, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies.


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

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


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


The Company has established a line of credit with the FHLB, which is secured by a blanket pledge of 1-4 family residential mortgages, multi-family residential, commercial real estate, and home equity loans, and available-for-sale securities. At September 30, 2019,2020, FHLB advances totaled $3,928$40,555 compared to $57,498$10,737 as of December 31, 2018. The decrease2019.

The Company has outstanding $23,000 of subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities issued by trusts that are affiliates of Reliant Bancorp, $10,000 of which is owned by a wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiary of Reliant Bancorp. Reliant Bancorp has timely made its scheduled interest payments on these subordinated debentures since assumed in the first quarter of 2018. As of September 30, 2019,2020, Reliant Bancorp was current on all interest payments due related to its subordinated debentures. Reliant Bancorp has the right to defer the payment of interest on the subordinated debentures at any time, for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. During the period in which it is deferring the payment of interest on its subordinated debentures, the indentures governing the subordinated debentures provide that Reliant Bancorp cannot pay any dividends on its common stock or preferred stock. 


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

Banks as regulated institutions are required to maintain 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 capital components and the level of risk associated with various types of assets. Financial institutions are expected to maintain a level of capital commensurate with the risk profile assigned to their assets in accordance with theapplicable regulations and guidelines. We regularly review our capital adequacy to ensure compliance with these regulations and guidelines and to help ensure that sufficient capital is available for current and future needs. It is management’s intent to maintain an optimal capital and leverage mix for growth and for shareholder return.returns.


Prompt corrective action regulations provide five bank capital classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At September 30, 2019,2020, 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 September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 for Reliant Bancorp and the Company and Bank.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requirerequires 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 refinancingsrefinancing 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 of the Company were as follows at September 30, 2019:2020:
September 30, 2020
Unused lines of credit$534,971 
Standby letters of credit19,793 
Total commitments$554,764 
 September 30, 2019
Unused lines of credit$291,134
Standby letters of credit17,896
Total commitments$309,030



Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk. The total notional amount of swap agreements was $79,605$179,345 and $81,505,$129,605, respectively, at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019. At September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the contracts had negative fair values totaling $4,273$10,216 and $716,$2,708, respectively.


Emerging Growth Company Status


Reliant Bancorp is presently 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 through the 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.2020. 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 thecertain 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.

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 September 30, 2019,2020, 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 bank 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, except2019 as described below.

We may not be able to successfully integrate the businesses we recently entered into definitive agreements to acquire or to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions.

Upon consummation of the Transactions, we will begin the process of integrating TCB Holdings and First Advantage. A successful integration of these businesses with ours will depend substantiallysupplemented by Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in Reliant Bancorp's Quarterly Reports 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 could divert resources from regular banking operations.

Additionally, general market and economic conditions or governmental actions affecting the financial 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 these acquisitions will result in various benefits including, among other things, benefits relating to enhanced revenues, a strengthened market positionForm 10-Q for the combined company, cross selling opportunities, technological efficiencies, cost savingsquarters ended March 31, 2020 and operating efficiencies. Achieving the anticipated benefits of these 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 marketplace. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits on the anticipated 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 diversion of management's time and energy and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Finally, any cost savings that are realized may be offset by losses in revenues or other charges to earnings.June 30, 2020.


The combined company following the consummation of the Transactions will incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the acquisitions.
We expect to incur significant costs associated with combining the operations of TCB Holdings and First Advantage with our 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 will 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 a material adverse effect on our business, future operations, and stock price.
If the Transactions are not completed, our ongoing business and financial results may be adversely affected and we will be subject to several risks, including the following:

the price of our common stock may decline to the extent that its current market prices reflect a market assumption that the Transactions will be completed;
having to pay significant costs relating to the Transactions without receiving any benefits arising from the Transactions;
negative reactions from customers, shareholders and market analysts; and
the diversion of the focus of our management to the Transactions instead of on pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to our business.
