CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

(1) the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including (i) the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on general economic and financial market conditions and on our business, results of operations, and financial condition and that of our customers, (ii) actions taken by governments, businesses and individuals in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, (iii) the pace of recovery when the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic subsides, and (iv) the speed with which coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines can be widely distributed, those vaccines’ efficacy against the virus, including new variant strains, and public acceptance of the vaccines;
(2) the possibility that our asset quality could decline or that we experience greater loan losses than anticipated;
(3) increased levels of other real estate, primarily as a result of foreclosures;
(4) the impact of liquidity needs on our results of operations and financial condition;
(5) competition from financial institutions and other financial service providers;
(6) the effect of interest rate increases on the cost of deposits;
(7) unanticipated weakness in loan demand or loan pricing;
(8) greater than anticipated adverse conditions in the national economy or local economies in which we operate, including in Middle Tennessee;
(9) lack of strategic growth opportunities or our failure to execute on available opportunities;
(10) deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers resulting in significant increases in loan losses and provisions for those losses;
(11) economic crises and associated credit issues in industries most impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including the hotel and retail sectors;
(12) the ability to grow and retain low-cost core deposits and retain large, uninsured deposits;
(13) our ability to effectively manage problem credits;
(14) our ability to successfully implement efficiency initiatives on time and with the results projected;
(15) our ability to successfully develop and market new products and technology;
(16) the impact of negative developments in the financial industry and United States and global capital and credit markets;
(17) our ability to retain the services of key personnel;
(18) our ability to adapt to technological changes;
(19) risks associated with litigation, including reputational and financial risks and the applicability of insurance coverage;
(20) the vulnerability of Reliant Bank’s computer and information technology systems and networks, and the systems and networks of third parties with whom Reliant Bancorp or Reliant Bank contract, to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes, spam attacks, human error, natural disasters, power loss, and other security breaches and interruptions;
(21) changes in state and federal laws, rules, regulations, or policies applicable to banks or bank or financial holding companies, including regulatory or legislative developments;
(22) adverse impacts (including costs, fines, reputational harm, or other negative effects) from current or future litigation, regulatory examinations, or other legal and/or regulatory actions;
(23) the risk of successful integration of the businesses Reliant Bancorp has recently acquired;
(24) the ability to meet expectations regarding the timing and completion and accounting and tax treatment of the pending transaction with United Community Banks, Inc. (“UCBI”) (the “Transaction”);
(25) the effect of the announcement and pendency of the Transaction on customer, supplier, or employee relationships and operating results (including without limitation difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees and customers), as well as on the market price of Reliant Bancorp's common stock;
(26) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the definitive merger agreement for the Transaction;
(27) the amount of costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the Transaction, including those arising as a result of unexpected factors or events;
(28) the ability to obtain the shareholder and governmental approvals required for the Transaction;
(29) reputational risk associated with and the reaction of the parties' customers, suppliers, employees, or other business partners to the Transaction;
3


(30) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Reliant Bancorp, UCBI or any of their respective directors or officers, following the announcement of the Transaction;
(31) the failure of any of the conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied, or any unexpected delay in closing the Transaction;
(32) the risk associated with Company management's attention being diverted away from the day-to-day business and operations of Reliant Bancorp to the completion of the Transaction; and
(24)(33) general competitive, economic, political, and market conditions, including economic conditions in the local markets where we operate.

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, which address additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in
3


forward-looking statements and could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. Additional factors which could affect the forward-looking statements can be found in Reliant Bancorp’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. 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 otherwise listed may develop or, if currently extant, we may not have yet recognized them.

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

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Reliant Bancorp, Inc. is a Tennessee corporation and the holding company for and the sole shareholder of Reliant Bank (the "Bank"), collectively, "the Company". Reliant Bancorp is registered as a financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("Bank Holding Company Act"). Reliant Bank is a commercial bank chartered under Tennessee law and a member of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"). The Bank provides a full range of traditional banking products and services to business and consumer clients throughout Middle Tennessee.

Reliant Risk Management, Inc., a wholly-owned insurance captive subsidiary of Reliant Bancorp, that began operations on June 1, 2020, is a Tennessee-based captive insurance company which insures Reliant Bancorp and the Bank against certain risks unique to their operations and for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today's insurance marketplace. Reliant Risk Management, Inc. pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves. Reliant Risk Management, Inc. is subject to regulations of the State of Tennessee and undergoes periodic examinations by the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). All adjustments consisting of normally recurring accruals that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods covered by the report have been included. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Amounts in the footnotes are shown in thousands, except for numbers of shares, per share amounts and as otherwise noted.

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods presented include Reliant Bancorp, Inc., its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries and Reliant Mortgage Ventures, LLC ("RMV"), of which the Bank controls 51% of the governance rights. As described in Note 1211 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements, Reliant Bancorp, Inc. and Tennessee Community Bank Holdings, Inc. (“TCB Holdings”) merged effective on January 1, 2020, and Reliant Bancorp, Inc. and First Advantage Bancorp (“FABK”) merged effective April 1, 2020.

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.

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31,June 30, 2021, and for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, included herein have not been audited. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. GAAP and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to

conform to the current period presentation. The results for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Information 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, 2020 for additional information related to previously issued accounting standards updates.

ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The guidance issued in this update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC 740 related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition for deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 was effective for us on January 1, 2021, and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 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 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 reasonably estimate the impact of adopting these ASUs, we expect that the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of the Company's loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

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. As the fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or market rates decline, we do not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31,June 30, 2021. There were 3234 and 22 securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

At March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, loans are recorded net of purchase discounts of $14,833$12,980 and $16,634, respectively.

The Company pledged loans to the FHLB at March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of $448,697$877,732 and $646,498, respectively.

The Company utilizes a risk grading system to monitor the credit quality of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio which consists of commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and construction loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 9. Grades 1 - 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 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 as substandard. Substandard assets have a high probability of payment default, or they have other well-defined weaknesses. They require supervision that is more intensive 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.

Table of Contents

Grade 8 - Doubtful
 
An extension of credit classified ‘‘doubtful’’ has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage of and strengthen the credit, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors may include a proposed merger or acquisition, liquidation proceedings, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, or refinancing plans. Generally, the doubtful classification should not extend for a long period of time because in most cases the pending factors or events that warranted the doubtful classification should be resolved either positively or negatively in a reasonable period of time.
 
Grade 9 - Loss
 
Extensions of credit classified ‘‘loss’’ are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the credit has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Amounts classified loss should be promptly charged off. The Company will not attempt long term recoveries while the credit remains on the Company’s books. Losses should be taken in the period in which they surface as uncollectible. With loss assets, the underlying borrowers are often in bankruptcy, have formally suspended debt repayments, or have otherwise ceased normal business operations. Once an asset is classified loss, there is little prospect of collecting either its principal or interest.

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.

The following table provides the risk category of loans by applicable class of loans including purchase credit impaired (“PCI”) loans as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Programs as part of COVID-19 Relief

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was signed into law in March 2020 and subsequently amended, along with subsequent regulatory guidance encouraged financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, the CARES Act further provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a TDR as defined by U.S. GAAP beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of January 1, 2022 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak terminates. The following table outlines the Company's recorded investment and percentage of loans held for investment by class of financing receivable for Company executed deferrals that remain on deferral at March 31,June 30, 2021, in connection with Company COVID-19 relief programs. These deferrals typically ranged from sixty to ninety days per deferral and were not considered TDRs under the interagency regulatory guidance or the CARES Act.. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had a total of $597,327 loans previously deferred that returned to normal payment status.Act.

The CARES Act provides over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (“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 (“PPP”). As of March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company had 58884 PPP loans outstanding amounting to $41.9$14.0 million which are included in the commercial, industrial, and agricultural segment. PPP loans do not have a corresponding allowance as they are fully guaranteed by the SBA. Fees range from 1% to 5% of the loan and are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan. As PPP loans are forgiven, any deferred loan fee or cost is recognized related to each individual loan. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, $41.5$69.4 million in PPP loans had cumulatively been forgiven cumulativelyof the $83.4 million in loan originations since the CARES Act’s inception. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, $1,042 in fees and interest was recognized in earnings.

NOTE 4 - LEASES

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and 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 these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease 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 54 - 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 $160,000$110,000 as of March 31,June 30, 2021 were designated as cash flow hedges of certain short-term interest-bearing liabilities and subordinated debentures, which are fully effective. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets (liabilities) with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining terms of the swap agreements. NaN gains or lossesLosses of $2,859 were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into net income during the periods presented.presented related to the $50 million in swaps which were terminated.

NOTE 65 - 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.

NOTE 98 - 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:

27

Table of Contents




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 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 and Repossessed Assets: The fair value of other real estate and repossessed assets is generally based on recent 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 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 109 - 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. RMV also acquires loans from approved correspondent lenders and resells 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.

The following presents summarized results of operations for the Company’s business segments for the periods indicated:

Supplemental Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income

Pro forma data for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020 in the table below presents information as if the TCB Holdings Transaction and FABK Transaction occurred on January 1, 2020. These results combine the historical results of TCB Holdings and FABK into the Company's consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisitions taken place on the indicated date nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of TCB Holdings' or FABK's provision for credit losses for the first three and six months of 2020 that may not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of the beginning of 2020. Additionally, these financials were not adjusted for non-recurring expenses, such as merger-related charges incurred by either the Company, TCB Holdings or FABK. The Company expects to achieve operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisitions which are also not reflected in the pro forma amounts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Quarterly Report contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Members of Company management use these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance, financial condition, and efficiency of operations. Management of the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results with prior periods, and demonstrate the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. Management of the Company also believes that investors find these non-GAAP financial measures useful as they assist investors in understanding underlying operating performance and identifying and analyzing ongoing operating trends. However, the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein are calculated may differ from the manner in which measures with similar names are calculated by other companies. You should understand how other companies calculate their financial measures similar to, or with names similar to, the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed herein when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP measures in this Quarterly Report include “adjusted net interest margin (NIM),” “adjusted net income, (loss),” “adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS),” “adjusted annualized return on average assets (ROAA),” “adjusted annualized return on average equity (ROAE),” “adjusted annualized return on average tangible common equity (ROATCE),” “adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets (TCE/TA),” “tangible book value per share,” “allowance for loan losses plus unaccreted purchased loan purchase discounts to total loans,” “bank segment adjusted net income, (loss),” “bank segment adjusted noninterest expense,” and “bank segment adjusted efficiency ratio.”

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact

During the current and prior fiscal year, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on our customers, associates, and communities, which collectively impacts our shareholders. Below is a summary of some of those impacts and our responses related to COVID-19.

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. We are encouraging virtual meetings and conference calls in place of in-person meetings. We are promoting social distancing, frequent hand washing, thorough disinfection of all surfaces, and the use of masks or nose and mouth coverings has been mandated in all of our locations.locations as required by local ordinances. We have welcomed back customers for lobby visits beginning March 29, 2021 after a steady decline of COVID-19 case counts and hospitalizations were reported by the Tennessee Department of Health. Banking center drive-ups, ATMs and online/mobile banking services continue to operate. Tennessee’s Governor Lee has declared that the pandemic state in Tennessee is no longer considered a health crisis, but a “managed public health issue” as businesses begin to return to normal operation and mask mandates are lifted. 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.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was signed into law in March 2020 and subsequently amended, along with subsequent regulatory guidance encouraged financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, the CARES Act further provides that a qualified loan modification is exceptexempt by law from classification as a TDR as defined by U.S. GAAP beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of January 1, 2022 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak terminates. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company had $33,121$67,984 of loans modified and a total of $597,327 loans previously deferred that returned to normal payment status.modified. These deferrals typically ranged from sixty to ninety days per deferral and were not considered TDRs under the interagency regulatory guidance or the CARES Act.

The Company is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") under the CARES Act, which is being administered by the SBA. As of March 31,June 30, 2021 the Bank had 58884 PPP loans outstanding totaling $41.9$14.0 million with $41.5$69.4 million in PPP loans forgiven and repaid to date. Participation in the PPP will likely have an impact on the Company's asset mix and net interest margin in 2021.

At March 31,June 30, 2021, our level of nonperforming assets was 0.32%0.31% of total assets and 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.

We are in regular communication with our customers to gain a better understanding of our highest risk exposures and probable defaults. In the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2021 we did not increase our allowance for loan loss through a provision as loan growth was minimal during the quarter and economic factors have considerably improved, partially due to the federal stimulus programs.

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.

As of March 31, 2021, Reliant Bancorp’s and Reliant Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of the regulatory minimum capital requirements and those required to be considered well-capitalized under applicable federal regulations. 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
The largest component of our net income is net interest income - the difference between the income earned on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets and interest expense on deposit accounts and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by total average interest-earning assets represents our net interest margin. The major factors that affect net interest income and net interest margin are changes in volumes, the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Our margin can also be affected by economic conditions, the competitive environment, loan demand and deposit flow. Our ability to respond to changes in these factors by using effective asset-liability management techniques is critical to maintaining the stability of the net interest margin and our net interest income.

Three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to three months ended June 30, 2020

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of approximately $29,582 which resulted in a net interest margin (net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets) of 4.14% as compared to 4.58% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in our cost of funds due to a $2,859 swap termination fee incurred during the quarter. The adjusted net interest margin, which excludes this fee impact as well as the benefits from purchase accounting accretion, showed continued improvement as it increased 47 basis points from the prior year to 4.28%. Net income and earnings per share during the quarter were not affected by this termination fee as securities were sold for a gain of $2,966 to offset the swap termination transaction.

The components of our loan yield, a key driver to our NIM for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, were as follows:

(2)    Includes $729 and $284 in PPP related fees for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

Our combined loan and loan fee yield decreased from 5.98% to 5.58% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 as purchase accounting accretion decreased during the quarter. Our year-over-year average loan volume decreased by approximately 0.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. However, when PPP loans are excluded, average loan volume increased by 0.9%.

Accretion on purchased loans contributed 32 basis points to the NIM for three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the 74 basis points contributed in the comparable period in 2020, and $13.0 million of purchase accounting accretion remained as of June 30, 2021. Contractual interest and origination fees on PPP loans contributed 8 basis points to the NIM for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as fees are recognized upon forgiveness compared to decreasing NIM by 7 basis points in the comparable period in 2020 due to the low comparative loan yield driven by the increased PPP loan volume in 2020. We anticipate recognizing $184 in deferred origination fees over the remaining life of the PPP loan portfolio.

Our cost of funds increased to 0.97% from 0.91% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to the swap termination fees realized in interest expense. Cost of funds excluding this fee decreased 37 basis points as rates continue to decline and our team continues to focus on reducing more costly time deposits and retaining lower cost customer deposits. Average retail time deposits decreased 40.8% year-over-year compared to the increase in average total deposits of 7.7%. In addition to the 4 basis point increase in cost of deposits, or 38 basis point decrease when excluding swap termination fees, cost of funds benefited from a decrease in the cost of FHLB advances of 24 basis points as the average balance decreased 82.3% as a result of the prepayments in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to six months ended June 30, 2020

For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, we recorded net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of approximately $31,045$60,627 which resulted in a net interest margin (net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets) of 4.51%4.32% compared to 3.60%4.16% for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in average loan balances and a decrease in the Company's use of retail time deposits which have a higher interest rate as well as an overall decline in the interest rate environment.

Our combined loan and loan fee yield increased from 5.23%5.07% to 5.63%5.16% for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The effects of the declining interest rate environment were offset by the realization of additional interest income related to the FABK acquisition which occurred on April 1, 2020. Our year-over-year average loan volume increased by approximately 41.4%16.7% for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 compared to the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and was mainlylargely driven by the FABK Transaction which made up $526.0 million of the loan balance as of March 31, 2021. Additionally, our continued focus on serving our customers led to organic growth of 8.2% year-over-year. In addition to the overall loan volume increase, the FABK acquisition resulted in the addition of the manufactured housing loan portfolio which generate higher yields when compared to other loan types and contributed to the loan yield increase.Transaction.

Accretion on purchased loans contributed 32 basis points to the NIM for threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 as a result of the increased accretion included in interest income from the FABK Transaction compared to the 1349 basis points contributed in the comparable period in 2020 which only included accretion income from the TCB Transaction.2020. Contractual interest and origination fees on PPP loans attributed 56 basis points to the NIM for the threesix months ended March 31, 2021.

Average retail time deposits decreased 8.8%27.4% year-over-year compared to the increase in average total deposits of 48.4%24.6%. While the acquired FABK deposits drives a majority of this increase, organic deposits increased 22.1% year-over-year. In addition to the 6026 basis point decrease in cost of deposits, or 46 basis points adjusted for swap termination fees, cost of funds benefited from a decrease in the cost of FHLB advances of 11163 basis points as the average balance decreased 93.2%87.3% as a result of the prepayments in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Provision for Loan Losses

We did not record a provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 compared to $2,900$3,000 and $5,900 recorded in the three and six months ended March 31, 2020.June 30, 2020, respectively. The provision expense for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 can be primarily attributed to the expected downturn in the economy due to COVID-19 as well as the growth in the loan portfolio, whereas, the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 experienced minimal growth in the loan portfolio. Additionally, economic outlooks have improved, in part due to the federal stimulus programs and vaccine rollouts.

The most significant reasons for the changes in total noninterest income during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 compared to the same periodperiods in 2020 are the fluctuation in gains on mortgage loans sold, net as well as the increase in service charges.charges and gain on securities transactions.

Service charges on deposit accounts generally reflect customer growth trends but also are impacted by changes in our fee pricing structure to help attract and retain customers. The increase in service charges and fees was driven primarily by the incremental increase in transaction volume related to our acquisitions, as well as growth in the volume of our legacy deposit accounts.

Gains on mortgage loans sold, net, consists of fees from the origination and sale of mortgage loans. All of these loan sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer. The mortgage banking business is directly impacted by the interest rate environment, increased regulations, consumer demand, and economic conditions. Mortgage production, especially refinance activity, typically rises in declining interest rate environments. Mortgage loans originated or purchased through correspondents for resale totaled $311,296$282,505 and $593,801 in three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $89,076$95,070 and $184,146 in the same periodperiods in 2020 as a result of the productive market conditions produced by the low interest rate environment.

Securities gains and losses often fluctuate from period to period and can sometimes be attributable to various balance sheet risk strategies. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, the Company sold securities totaling $1,795$35,751 with a gain of $129.$3,095. Of this gain, $2,859 was realized to offset the effects of the swap termination fees incurred in the second quarter. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, the Company sold securities classified as available for sale which were acquired in the TCB Holdings transaction totaling $56,336.$103,668. No gain was recognized as the securities were sold at the fair value for which they were acquired.

Noninterest income also includes income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), which increased during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 when compared to the the same period in 2020, driven by the additional policies acquired from the FABK and TCB Holdings transactions as well as additional policies purchased in 2020. 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 taxable.

Noninterest expense increaseddecreased during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 when compared to March 31,June 30, 2020 which is primarily driven by the merger expenses incurred in 2020 and offset by the incremental costs incurred following the TCB Holdings and FABK transactions. Noninterest expense increased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to June 30, 2020 which is primarily driven by the incremental costs incurred following the TCB Holdings and FABK transactions offset by the merger expenses incurred in 2020. While we continue to pursue strategic acquisition activities, we are not currently anticipating any merger expenses in 2021.

The 44.5%2.6% and 20.5% increase in salaries and employee benefits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, when compared to June 30, 2020 is primarily attributable to the increase in employees from the FABK transaction as well as our year-over-year growth. While staffing levels have normalized, we experienced an overall increase in average FTEs from 321 at March 31,369 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 425 at March 31,423 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, or 359 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 424 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Occupancy costs increaseddecreased by $522$27 or 35.1%1.3% during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and increased $495, or 14.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periodperiods in 2020 mainly due toas the FABK Transaction as well asand the expansion of RMV. The Board has approved aRMV increased costs in 2020 and is offset by the branch justification project that has resulted in the announced closure of one branch and the intent to close two additional branches later in 2021.

Data processing and software expense increased from March 31,during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to March 31,June 30, 2021 and is mainly attributable 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 FABK Transaction and the expansion of RMV.

Professional fees increased by $765 or 160.0%, when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the same period in 2020 primarily driven by the settlement of lawsuits occurring at RMV regarding activities under previous RMV management.

Efficiency ratio

The efficiency ratio is one measure of productivity in the banking industry. This ratio is calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. We calculate this ratio by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. For an adjusted efficiency ratio, we exclude certain gains, losses and expenses we do not consider core to our business.

Our efficiency ratio of our banking segment was 52.2%50.6% and 90.0%51.4% for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 60.3% and 2020, respectively.71.3% for the same periods in 2020. Our adjusted efficiency ratio, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 50.8%49.1% and 65.0%49.9% for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 50.7% and 2020, respectively.56.0% for the same periods in 2020. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this Quarterly Report for the reconciliation of the adjusted efficiency ratio.

compared to 79.6%17.4% and 9.7% for the same period in 2020. This decrease is primarily due to the nondeductible merger expenses in the first quarter of 2020 when compared to 2021.

Non-controlling Interest in Operating Results of Subsidiary

Our non-controlling interest in operating results of subsidiary is solely attributable to the RMV minority interest. The Bank has a 51% voting interest in this venture, but under the terms of the related operating agreement, the non-controlling member receives 70% of the cash flow distributions of RMV and the Bank receives 30% of any cash flow distributions, after the non-controlling member recovers its aggregate capital contributions. The non-controlling member is required to fund RMV's losses, in arrears, via additional capital contributions. RMV had a net income of $570$140 and $710 for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to a net loss of $976$388 and $1,364 for the same periodperiods in 2020. The improvements in operating results is mainly attributable to the productive market conditions produced by the low interest rate environment. Also, see Note 109 to our consolidated financial statements for segment reporting.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Overview

The Company’s total assets were $3,057,066$3,098,464 at March 31,June 30, 2021 and $3,026,535 at December 31, 2020, an increase of 1.0%2.4%. Total liabilities were $2,725,367$2,752,175 at March 31,June 30, 2021 and $2,704,562 at December 31, 2020, an increase of 0.8%1.8%. The increase in liabilities was substantially attributable to the increase in deposits of $33,675,$50,605, or 1.3%, and offset by a decrease in FHLB advances of $10,000 during the period.2.0%. These and other components of our consolidated balance sheets are discussed further below.

Loans

Lending-related income is the largest component of our net interest income and is a major contributor to profitability. The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets, and it, therefore, generates the largest portion of revenues. The absolute volume of loans and the volume of loans as a percentage of earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin as loans are expected to produce higher yields than securities and other earning assets. The competition for quality loans in our markets has remained strong. Our goal is to steadily grow our loan portfolio, focusing on quality. This is not always possible for various reasons, including but not limited to scheduled maturities or early payoffs exceeding new loan volume, as well as economic conditions. Early payoffs typically increase in falling rate environments as customers identify advantageous opportunities for refinancing. We have been adding experienced lending officers to our staff to help with loan growth. Total loans, net of allowance for loan losses, at March 31,June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, were $2,256,929$2,300,176 and $2,280,147, respectively, representing a decreasean increase of 1.0%.0.9%, or 3.2% when PPP loans are excluded.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consists of nonperforming loans plus real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and other repossessed collateral as well as banking facilities taken out of service. Nonperforming loans by definition consists 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.

The following table provides information with respect to the Company’s nonperforming assets.

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 investment 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 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.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment, net, totaled $30,879$29,183 at March 31,June 30, 2021 compared to $31,462 at December 31, 2020, a net decrease of $583,$2,279, or 1.9%7.2%. Premises and equipment purchases amounted to approximately $217$261 during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and were mainly incurred for additional leasehold improvements and equipment for our branches and mortgage locations while depreciation expense amounted to $741.$1,455. Retired bank facilities of $990 were transferred to other real estate owned during the second quarter of 2021.

Deposits

Deposits represent the Company’s largest source of funds. The Company competes with other banks 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 interest 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 March 31,June 30, 2021, total deposits were $2,612,910,$2,629,840, an increase of $33,675,$50,605, or 1.3%2.0%, compared to $2,579,235 at December 31, 2020. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, noninterest bearing demand deposits increased by $3,475,$27,266, interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $46,655,$90,769, savings and money market deposits increased by $93,420,$146,192, and time deposits decreased by $109,875.$213,622. Our team continues to focus on retaining low cost customer deposits while decreasing higher cost time deposits.

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

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:

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

We were in compliance with our earnings simulation model policies as of March 31,June 30, 2021, 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
±100bp15%
±200 bp25%
±300 bp30%
±400 bp35%
Non-parallel shifts35%

At March 31,June 30, 2021, 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 Management The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure that there are sufficient cash flows to satisfy loan demand, deposit withdrawals, and our other needs. Traditional sources of liquidity for a bank include asset maturities and growth in core deposits. A bank may achieve its desired liquidity objectives from the management of its assets and liabilities and by internally generated funding through its operations. Funds invested in marketable instruments that can be readily sold and the continuous maturing of other earning assets are sources of liquidity from an asset perspective. The liability base provides sources of liquidity through attraction of increased deposits and borrowing funds from various other institutions and sources.

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

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

The Company has established a line of credit with the FHLB, which is secured by a blanket pledge of 1-4 family residential mortgages, multi-family residential, commercial real estate, and home equity loans, and available-for-sale securities. At March 31,June 30, 2021, FHLB advances totaled $0$16,000 compared to $10,000 as of December 31, 2020.

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-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 March 31,June 30, 2021, 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
5559

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.

Capital

Shareholders’ equity was $331,699$346,289 at March 31,June 30, 2021, an increase of $9,726,$24,316, or 3.0%7.6%, from $321,973 at December 31, 2020, mainly due to current quarter net income.income and other comprehensive income of $2,078. This increase was primarily offset by dividends declared of $2,015, and other comprehensive loss of $744.$4,034. Contributions from the noncontrolling interest of $570$710 were recognized in the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021. The increase in shareholders' equity mitigated by the growth in the Bank's assets led to an increase in the Bank’s March 31,June 30, 2021 Tier 1 leverage ratio to 11.06%11.14% compared with 10.64% at December 31, 2020. See other ratios discussed further below. Additionally, the subordinated debentures qualified as Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital for the Company due to asset size at the time of issuance.

On August 24, 2020, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to offer, issue and sell from time to time in one or more offerings any combination of (i) common stock, (ii) preferred stock, (iii) debt securities, (iv) depository shares, (v) warrants, (vi) units, (vii) purchase contracts, and (viii) rights, up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $100,000. The net proceeds from any offering will be used for general corporate purposes including repayment of debt or payment of interest thereon, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments, and any other purposes that we may specify in any prospectus supplement. Until allocated to such purposes it is expected that we will invest any proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments or other investment-grade securities. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement on Form S-3 effective on September 3, 2020, and the Registration Statement on Form S-3 will expire on September 3, 2023.

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 applicable 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 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 March 31,June 30, 2021, 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 March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 for Reliant Bancorp and the Bank.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires 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 refinancing tend to slow as interest rates increase, and can reduce our earnings from such activities.
