Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial holding company whose operations consist of the ownership of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bridgewater Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank commenced operations in 2005 and provides retail and commercial loan and deposit services, principally to customers within the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI Metropolitan Statistical Area. In 2008, the Bank formed BWB Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, for the purpose of holding repossessed property. In 2018, the Bank formed Bridgewater Investment Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, for the purpose of holding certain municipal securities and to engage in municipal lending activities.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the amounts of the Company, the Bank, with locations in Bloomington, Greenwood, Minneapolis (2), St. Louis Park, Orono, and St. Paul, Minnesota, BWB Holdings, LLC, and Bridgewater Investment Management, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Information available which could affect judgements includes, but is not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy, including elevated levels of inflation and possible recession, and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, calculation of deferred tax assets, fair value of financial instruments, and investment securities impairment.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements: Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. The ASU amends the Codification to remove references to various concepts and impacts a variety of topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance, but in most instances the references removed are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, the amendments in ASU 2024-02 are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. ASU 2024-02 is effective January 1, 2025 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent events have been evaluated through August 1, 2024, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
Note 2: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock compensation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, stock options and restricted stock units totaling 1,234,583 and 1,151,825 shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation because they were deemed to be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units totaling 1,034,634 and 896,321 shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation because they were deemed to be antidilutive.
The following table presents the numerators and denominators for basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

At June 30, 2024, 499 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 9.5% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. At December 31, 2023, 521 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 9.2% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses have not been recognized into income because management does not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Furthermore, the unrealized losses are due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions and were not reflective of credit events. To make this determination, consideration is given to such factors as the credit rating of the issuer, level of credit enhancement, changes in credit ratings, market conditions such as current interest rates, any adverse conditions specific to the security, and delinquency status on contractual payments. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no allowance for credit losses carried on the Company’s securities portfolio.
Accrued interest receivable on securities, which is recorded within accrued interest on the balance sheet, totaled $5.3 million and $4.9 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

The following table presents a summary of the amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities by the lesser of expected call date or contractual maturity as of June 30, 2024. Call date is used when a call of the debt security is expected, as determined by the Company when the security has a market value above its amortized cost. Contractual maturities will differ from expected maturities for mortgage-backed, SBA securities and asset-backed securities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without penalties.

The Company aggregates loans into credit quality indicators based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt by using internal reviews in which management monitors and analyzes the financial condition of borrowers and guarantors, trends in the industries in which the borrowers operate, and the fair values of collateral securing the loans. The Company analyzes all loans individually to assign a risk rating, grouped into five major categories defined as follows:
Pass: A pass loan is a credit with no known or existing potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention.
Watch: Loans classified as watch have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, this potential weakness may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date. Watch loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are not adequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. Well defined weaknesses include a borrower’s lack of marketability, inadequate cash flow or collateral support, failure to complete construction on time, or the failure to fulfill economic expectations. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
14
Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss: Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and charged-off immediately.
15
The following tables present loan balances classified by credit quality indicators by year of origination as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Note 6: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, which consist of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, to assist in its interest rate risk management. The notional amount does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual agreements. Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. For derivatives not designated as hedges, the gain or loss is recognized in current earnings.
Non-hedge Derivatives
The Company enters into interest rate swaps to facilitate client transactions and meet their financing needs. Upon entering into these instruments to meet client needs, the Company enters into offsetting positions with large U.S. financial institutions in order to minimize the risk to the Company. These swaps are derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments.
Interest rate swap contracts involve the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty or client owes the Company, and results in credit risk to the Company. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is negative, the Company owes the client or counterparty and therefore, the Company has no credit risk.

Cash Flow Hedging Derivatives
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the aggregate fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in other assets or other liabilities with any gain or loss related to changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged asset or liability affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged asset or liability. The Company utilizes cash flow hedges to manage interest rate exposure for the brokered deposit and wholesale borrowing portfolios. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $8.0 million will be reclassified to interest expense, as a reduction of the expense.

Note 10: Commitments, Contingencies and Credit Risk
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual, or notional, amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and some of the commitments may not be drawn upon to the total extent of the commitment, the notional amount of these commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Note 12: Regulatory Capital
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank must also meet certain specific capital guidelines under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets (referred to as the “leverage ratio”), as defined under the applicable regulatory capital rules.

Note 13: Fair Value Measurement
The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used in the determination of the fair value measurement fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities valued at fair value are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs that utilized quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial
30
instruments. Fair values for these instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.
Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company may re-measure the carrying value of assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis to fair value. Adjustments to fair value usually result when certain assets are impaired. Such assets are written down from their carrying amounts to their fair value.
Professional standards allow entities the irrevocable option to elect to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company adopted the policy to value certain financial instruments at fair value. The Company has not elected to measure any existing financial instruments at fair value; however, it may elect to measure newly acquired financial instruments at fair value in the future.
Recurring Basis
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. There have been no changes in methodologies used as of June 30, 2024. The following tables present the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Investment Securities
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of investment securities; such items are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
For the Company’s investments, when quoted prices are not available for identical securities in an active market, the Company determines fair value utilizing vendors who apply matrix pricing for similar bonds where no price is observable or may compile prices from various sources. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curve, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market, and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially, all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace and can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Fair values from these models are verified, where possible, against quoted market prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the security being valued. Such methods are generally classified as Level 2. However, when prices from independent sources vary, or cannot be obtained or corroborated, a security is generally classified as Level 3.
Interest Rate Caps
The fair value of the caps is calculated by determining the total expected asset or liability exposure of the derivatives. Total expected exposure incorporates both the current and potential future exposure of the derivative, derived from using observable inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities, and accordingly are valued using Level 2 inputs.
Interest Rate Swaps
Interest rate swaps are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For those interest rate swaps, fair value is determined using internally developed models of a third party that uses primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities, and accordingly are valued using Level 2 inputs.
Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment or a change in the amount of previously recognized impairment.

The following tables present net impairment losses related to nonrecurring fair value measurements of certain assets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Individually Evaluated Loans
The Company records certain loans at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Individually evaluated loans for which an allowance is established, or a write-down has occurred during the period, based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by appraisals, independent valuation and other techniques. When the fair value of the loan’s collateral is based on an observable market price the Company classifies the fair value of the individually evaluated loans within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. For loans in which the valuation has unobservable inputs, the Company classifies these within the Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. As of June 30, 2024, collateral values were estimated using a combination of observable inputs, including recent appraisals, and unobservable inputs, including internally determined values based on cost adjusted for depreciation and customized discounting criteria on appraisals which ranged from 3-15%. Due to the significance of unobservable inputs, fair values of individually evaluated loans have been classified as Level 3.
Fair Value
Disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, is required whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value of cash flow or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimate of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Certain financial instruments with a fair value that is not practicable to estimate and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent the underlying value of the Company.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters that could affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business. Deposits with no stated maturities are defined as having a fair value equivalent to the amount payable on demand. This prohibits adjusting fair value derived from retaining those deposits for an expected future period of time. This component, commonly referred to as a deposit base intangible, is neither considered in the above amounts nor is it recorded as an intangible asset on the balance sheet. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate fair value of financial instruments not previously discussed.
Cash and due from banks – The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.
FHLB stock – The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates its fair value.
Loans, net – Fair values for loans are estimated based on discounted cash flows, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.
34
Accrued interest receivable – The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value since it is short term in nature and does not present anticipated credit concerns.
Deposits – The fair values disclosed for demand deposits without stated maturities (interest and noninterest transaction, savings, and money market accounts) are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (their carrying amounts). Fair values for the fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Notes payable and subordinated debentures – The fair values of the Company’s notes payable and subordinated debentures are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
FHLB advances – The fair values of the Company’s FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing agreements.
Accrued interest payable – The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value since it is short term in nature.
Off-balance sheet instruments – Fair values of the Company’s off-balance sheet instruments (lending commitments and unused lines of credit) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the counterparties’ credit standing and discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of these off-balance sheet items approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees and was not material at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Limitations – The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between market participants, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Consequently, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
● | interest rate risk, including the effects of sustained high interest rates; |
● | fluctuations in the values of the securities held in our securities portfolio, including as the result of changes in interest rates; |
● | business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our market area, including high rates of inflation and possible recession; |
● | the effects of developments and events in the financial services industry, including the large-scale deposit withdrawals over a short period of time that resulted in recent bank failures; |
● | loan concentrations in our loan portfolio; |
● | the overall health of the local and national real estate market; |
● | the ability to successfully manage credit risk; |
● | the ability to maintain an adequate level of allowance for credit losses on loans; |

● | the concentration of large loans to certain borrowers; |
● | the concentration of large deposits from certain clients, who have balances above current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits; |
● | the ability to successfully manage liquidity risk, which may increase the dependence on non-core funding sources such as brokered deposits, and negatively impact our cost of funds; |
● | the ability to raise additional capital to implement our business plan; |
● | the ability to implement our growth strategy and manage costs effectively; |
● | the composition of the Company’s senior leadership team and the ability to attract and retain key personnel; |
● | the occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches or failures of our third party vendors’ information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents, including as a result of sophisticated attacks using artificial intelligence and similar tools; |
● | interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications systems or third-party servicers; |
● | competition in the financial services industry, including from nonbank competitors such as credit unions and “fintech” companies; |
● | the effectiveness of the risk management framework; |
● | the commencement and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings and regulatory actions against us; |
● | the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, including in response to recent bank failures; |
● | risks related to climate change and the negative impact it may have on our clients and their businesses; |
● | the imposition of other governmental policies impacting the value of products produced by our commercial borrowers; |
● | severe weather, natural disasters, wide spread disease or pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, or other adverse external events, including the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Russian invasion of Ukraine; |
● | potential impairment to the goodwill the Company recorded in connection with a past acquisition; |
● | changes to U.S. or state tax laws, regulations and guidance; |
39
● | potential changes in federal policy and at regulatory agencies as a result of the upcoming 2024 presidential election; and |
● | any other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of this report and in other reports filed by Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

In addition, past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future results. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Overview
The Company is a financial holding company headquartered in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The principal sources of funds for loans and investments are transaction, savings, time, and other deposits, and short-term and long-term borrowings. The Company’s principal sources of income are interest and fees collected on loans, interest and dividends earned on investment securities and service charges. The Company’s principal expenses are interest paid on deposit accounts and borrowings, employee compensation and other overhead expenses. The Company’s simple, efficient business model of providing responsive support and unconventional experiences to clients continues to be the underlying principle that drives the Company’s profitable growth.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared based on the application of certain accounting policies, the most significant of which are described in “Note 1 – Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included as a part of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2024. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies or the assumptions and judgments utilized in applying these policies since December 31, 2023. Certain policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to variation and may significantly affect the reported results and financial position for the current period or in future periods. The use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when financial assets and liabilities are required to be recorded or adjusted to reflect fair value. Assets carried at fair value inherently result in more financial statement volatility. Fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based on either quoted market prices or are provided by other independent third-party sources, when available. When such information is not available, management estimates valuation adjustments. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on the future financial condition and results of operations. Management has discussed each critical accounting policy and the methodology for the identification and determination of critical accounting policies with the Company’s Audit Committee.

Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income was $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $9.8 million for the second quarter of 2023. Earnings per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2024 were $0.26, compared to $0.31 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2023. Net income was $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income of $21.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Earnings per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $0.50, compared to $0.69 per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Net Interest Income
The Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is impacted by the level of interest earning assets and related funding sources, as well as changes in interest rates. The difference between the average yield on earning assets and the average rate paid for interest bearing liabilities is the net interest spread. Noninterest bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and shareholders’ equity, also support earning assets. The impact of the noninterest bearing sources of funds is captured in the net interest margin, which is calculated as net interest income divided by average earning assets. Both the net interest margin and net interest spread are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, which means that tax-free interest income has been adjusted to pretax-equivalent income, assuming a 21% federal tax rate. Management’s ability to respond to changes in interest rates by using effective asset-liability management techniques is critical to managing net interest margin and the Company’s primary source of earnings.

Interest Rates and Operating Interest Differential
Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table presents the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on interest earning assets and the interest incurred on interest bearing liabilities. The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the previous period’s average rate. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average rate by the previous period’s volume. The changes not attributable specifically to either volume or rate have been allocated to the changes due to volume. The following tables present the changes in the volume and rate of interest bearing assets and liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Comparison of Interest Income, Interest Expense, and Net Interest Margin
Second Quarter of 2024 Compared to Second Quarter of 2023
Net interest income was $25.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $876,000 compared to $25.9 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and growth in the rising interest rate environment, which outpaced the repricing of the loan and securities portfolios.
Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the second quarter of 2024 was 2.24%, a 16 basis point decline from 2.40% in the second quarter of 2023. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees, was 2.17% for the second quarter of 2024, a 14 basis point decline from 2.31% in the second quarter of 2023. The decline in the margin was primarily due to higher funding costs, offset partially by higher earning asset yields.
Average interest earning assets were $4.55 billion for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $150.9 million, or 3.4%, compared to $4.40 billion for the second quarter of 2023. This increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio and purchases of investment securities. Average interest bearing liabilities were $3.45 billion for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $187.6 million, or 5.8%, compared to $3.26 billion for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in average interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to an increase in all deposit types and FHLB advances, offset partially by a decrease in federal funds purchased.
Average interest earning assets produced a tax-equivalent yield of 5.41% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 5.06% for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in the yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the purchase of higher yielding securities and the growth and repricing of the loan and securities portfolios in the rising interest rate environment. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 4.19% for the second quarter of
46
2024, compared to 3.59% for the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to deposit repricing, which resulted from a rapid increase in market interest rates.
Interest Income. Total interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, was $61.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $55.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. The $5.8 million increase in total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio, purchases of investment securities and higher earning asset yields in the rising interest rate environment.
Interest income on the investment securities portfolio, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to a $77.8 million, or 13.1%, increase in average balances between the two periods and higher rates earned on securities.
Interest income on loans, on a tax-equivalent basis, was $51.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $48.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. The $3.5 million increase was primarily due to growth and repricing of the loan portfolio in the rising interest rate environment.
Loan interest income and loan fees remain the primary contributing factors to the changes in the yield on interest earning assets. The aggregate loan yield increased to 5.50% in the second quarter of 2024, which was 31 basis points higher than 5.19% in the second quarter of 2023. Despite the overall decrease in fee recognition, the core loan yield continues to rise as new loan originations and the existing portfolio reprice in the higher rate environment.
The following table presents a summary of interest and fees recognized on loans for the periods indicated:

Interest Expense. Interest expense on interest bearing liabilities was $35.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $6.8 million, from $29.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to growth and upward repricing of the deposit portfolio in the higher interest rate environment, offset partially by an overall decrease in borrowings.
Interest expense on deposits was $31.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $8.6 million, from $23.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to upward repricing of the deposit portfolio in the higher interest rate environment and the average balance of interest bearing deposits increasing by $273.1 million, or 10.1%. The cost of total deposits was 3.46% in the second quarter of 2024, an 80 basis point increase, compared to 2.66% in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the upward repricing of the deposit portfolio in the higher interest rate environment.
Interest expense on borrowings was $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $1.9 million, compared to $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decreased utilization of federal funds purchased.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Net interest income was $49.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $4.8 million, or 8.8%, compared to $54.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits and growth in the rising interest rate environment, offset partially by higher earning asset yields.
Net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 2.24%, a 31 basis point decline from 2.55% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Core net interest margin (on a fully tax-
47
equivalent basis), a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of loan fees, was 2.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a 29 basis point decline from 2.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Average interest earning assets were $4.52 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $159.8 million, or 3.7%, compared to $4.36 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase in average interest earning assets was primarily due to organic growth in the loan portfolio, continued purchases of investment securities, and an increase in cash balances. Average interest bearing liabilities were $3.42 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $226.7 million, or 7.1%, compared to $3.19 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in average interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to an increase in interest bearing transaction deposits, time deposits, brokered deposits, and FHLB advances, offset partially by a decrease in federal funds purchased.
Average interest earning assets produced a tax-equivalent yield of 5.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 4.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 4.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 3.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Interest Income. Total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $120.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $107.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $12.4 million increase in total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was primarily due to organic growth in the loan portfolio, purchases of investment securities and higher earning asset yields in the rising interest rate environment.
Interest income on the investment securities portfolio, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a $72.0 million, or 12.0%, increase in average balances and a 64 basis point increase in yield between the periods.
Interest income on loans, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $101.5 million, compared to $93.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $8.1 million increase was primarily due to a 2.1% increase in the average balances of loans outstanding and a 32 basis point increase in yield.
Interest Expense. Interest expense on interest bearing liabilities was $69.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $17.4 million, compared to $52.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increases were primarily due to higher rates paid on deposits in the rising interest rate environment and increased utilization of FHLB advances, offset partially be a decrease in federal funds purchased.
Interest expense on deposits increased to $61.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $39.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $22.4 million increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to upward repricing of the deposit portfolio in the higher interest rate environment.
Interest expense on borrowings was $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower average balances of federal funds purchased, offset partially by higher average balances of FHLB advances.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses on loans was $600,000 for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $550,000 for the second quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses on loans was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The provision for credit losses on loans recorded in the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributable to changes in the mix of the loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 1.37% at June 30, 2024, compared to 1.36% at June 30, 2023.

There was no provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures for the second quarter of 2024, compared to a negative provision of $500,000 for the second quarter of 2023. No provision was recorded during the second quarter of 2024 due to unfunded commitments remaining stable as the migration to funded loans was offset by the volume of newly originated loans with unfunded commitments. The provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures was a negative provision of $100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a negative provision of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The negative provision for both periods was due to a reduction in outstanding unfunded commitments. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $2.9 million as of second quarter of 2024, compared to $3.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $348,000 from $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to a net gain on sale of securities and an increase in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance. Noninterest income was $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $45,000 from $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower letter of credit fees and $299,000 of FHLB prepayment income recognized in the previous year which did not reoccur, offset partially by an increase in net gain on sale of securities.

Noninterest Expense
Second Quarter of 2024 Compared to Second Quarter of 2023
Noninterest expense was $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $1.3 million from $14.3 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, higher derivative collateral fees and information technology and telecommunications, offset partially by a decrease in the FDIC insurance assessment.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Noninterest expense was $30.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $2.4 million, from $28.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, higher derivative collateral fees and increases in information technology and communications, professional and consulting fees and data processing fees.
The Company had 258 full-time equivalent employees at the end of the second quarter of 2024, compared to 253 at the end of the second quarter of 2023.
Efficiency Ratio. The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, reports total noninterest expense, less amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of net interest income plus total noninterest income, less gains (losses) on sales of securities. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides a meaningful comparison of operational performance and facilitates investors’ assessments of business performance and trends in comparison to peers in the banking industry.
The efficiency ratio was 58.7% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 52.3% for the second quarter of 2023. The efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 58.5% and 48.9%, respectively. The efficiencies of the Company’s “branch-light” model have positioned the Company well to continue navigating a challenging environment for a more spread-based revenue model.

Income Tax Expense
The provision for income taxes includes both federal and state taxes. Fluctuations in effective tax rates reflect the differences in the inclusion or deductibility of certain income and expenses for income tax purposes and the recognition of tax credits. The Company’s future effective income tax rate will fluctuate based on the mix of taxable and tax-free investments and loans, the recognition and availability of tax credit investments, and overall taxable income.
Income tax expense was $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 23.6%, compared to 24.3% for the second quarter of 2023. Income tax expense was $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The effective combined federal and state income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 23.6% and 25.4%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate across both periods was primarily due to the timing and delivery of tax credits.
Financial Condition
Assets
Total assets at June 30, 2024 were $4.69 billion, an increase of $75.0 million, or 1.6%, over total assets of $4.61 billion at December 31, 2023, and an increase of $83.9 million, or 1.8%, over total assets of $4.60 billion at June 30, 2023. The year-to-date growth was primarily due to organic loan growth. The year-over-year growth was primarily due to organic loan growth and purchases of investment securities, offset partially by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
Investment Securities Portfolio
The investment securities portfolio is used to make various term investments and is intended to provide the Company with adequate liquidity, a source of stable income, and at times, serve as collateral for certain types of deposits or borrowings. Investment balances in the investment securities portfolio are subject to change over time based on funding needs and interest rate risk management objectives. The liquidity levels take into account anticipated future cash flows and are maintained at levels management believes are appropriate to ensure future flexibility in meeting anticipated funding needs.
The investment securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities, municipal securities, and corporate securities comprised primarily of subordinated debentures of banks and financial holding companies. In addition, the Company also holds other mortgage backed and other debt securities, all with
51
varying contractual maturities. These maturities do not necessarily represent the expected life of the securities as the securities may be called or paid down without penalty prior to their stated maturities. All investment securities are held as available for sale.
Securities available for sale were $601.1 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $604.1 million at December 31, 2023, a decrease of $3.0 million or 0.5%. At June 30, 2024, U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities represented 16.5% of the portfolio, municipal securities represented 22.1% of the portfolio, corporate securities represented 23.3% of the portfolio, SBA securities represented 2.6% of the portfolio, other mortgage-backed securities represented 17.5% of the portfolio, and asset-backed securities represented 18.0% of the portfolio.

Loan Portfolio
The Company focuses on lending to borrowers located or investing in the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI Metropolitan Statistical Area across a diverse range of industries and property types. The Company lends primarily to commercial customers, consisting of loans secured by nonfarm, nonresidential properties, multifamily residential properties, land, and non-real estate business assets. Responsive service, local decision making, and an efficient turnaround time from application to closing have been significant factors in growing the loan portfolio.
The Company manages concentrations of credit exposure through a risk management program which implements formalized processes and procedures specifically for managing and mitigating risk within the loan portfolio. The processes and procedures include board and management oversight, commercial real estate exposure limits, portfolio monitoring tools, management information systems, market reports, underwriting standards, internal and external loan review, and stress testing.
Total gross loans at June 30, 2024 were $3.80 billion, an increase of $76.1 million, or 2.0%, over total gross loans of $3.72 billion at December 31, 2023, and an increase of $64.2 million, or 1.7%, over total gross loans of $3.74 billion at June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase in the loan portfolio was primarily due to increased loan originations, partially offset by an increase in loan payoffs. Gross loans grew on an annualized basis of 4.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The pace of loan growth has moderated, when compared to historical levels, due to active balance sheet management to align loan growth with the funding outlook and ultimately the impact of the higher interest rate environment on the number of prospective deals that meet underwriting standards.

Asset Quality
The Company emphasizes credit quality in the originating and monitoring of the loan portfolio, and success in underwriting is measured by the levels of classified and nonperforming assets and net charge-offs. Federal regulations and internal policies require the use of an asset classification system as a means of managing and reporting problem and potential problem assets. The Company has incorporated an internal asset classification system, substantially consistent with federal banking regulations, as a part of the credit monitoring system. Federal banking regulations set forth a classification scheme for problem and potential problem assets as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the financial institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly
54
questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are required to be designated “watch.”
The following table presents information on loan classifications at June 30, 2024. The Company had no assets classified as doubtful or loss at June 30, 2024.

Loans that have potential weaknesses that warranted a watchlist risk rating at June 30, 2024 totaled $30.4 million, compared to $26.5 million at December 31, 2023. Loans that warranted a substandard risk rating at June 30, 2024 totaled $33.9 million, compared to $35.9 million at December 31, 2023. Management continues to actively work with these borrowers and closely monitor substandard credits.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming loans include loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis and loans 90 days past due and still accruing. Nonaccrual loans totaled $678,000 at June 30, 2024 and $919,000 at December 31, 2023, a decrease of $242,000. There were no loans 90 days past due and still accruing as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. There were no foreclosed assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(1) | Nonperforming assets are defined as nonaccrual loans and loans greater than 90 days past due still accruing plus foreclosed assets. There were no loans greater than 90 days past due still accruing for any period shown. |
The balance of nonperforming assets can fluctuate due to changes in economic conditions. The Company has established a policy to discontinue accruing interest on a loan (that is, to place the loan on nonaccrual status) after it has become 90 days delinquent as to payment of principal or interest, unless the loan is considered to be well-collateralized and is actively in the process of collection. In addition, a loan will be placed on nonaccrual status before it becomes 90 days delinquent unless management believes that the collection of interest is expected. Interest previously accrued but uncollected on such loans is reversed and charged against current income when the receivable is determined to be uncollectible. If management believes that a loan will not be collected in full, an increase to the allowance for credit
55
losses on loans is recorded to reflect management’s estimate of any potential exposure or loss. Generally, payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied directly to principal. Gross income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $23,000 and $36,000, respectively.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses on loans is a reserve established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for credit losses. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses at a level management considers adequate to provide for expected lifetime losses in the portfolio. Although management strives to maintain an allowance it deems adequate, future economic changes, deterioration of borrowers’ creditworthiness, and the impact of examinations by regulatory agencies, among other factors, all could cause changes to the allowance for credit losses on loans.
At June 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses on loans was $51.9 million, an increase of $1.5 million from $50.5 million at December 31, 2023. Net charge-offs (recoveries) totaled ($2,000) during the second quarter of 2024 and ($3,000) during the second quarter of 2023. Net charge-offs (recoveries) totaled ($5,000) for both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.37% at June 30, 2024, compared to 1.36% at December 31, 2023.

Total deposits at June 30, 2024 were $3.81 billion, an increase of $97.8 million, compared to total deposits of $3.71 billion at December 31, 2023, and an increase of $229.8 million, or 6.4%, over total deposits of $3.58 billion at June 30, 2023. Core deposits, defined as total deposits excluding brokered deposits and time deposits greater than $250,000, increased $37.6 million, or 3.0% annualized, from December 31, 2023. Growth in core deposits was primarily due to increased balances of existing clients and new client acquisitions. Based on the nature of these inflows, management believes core deposits could fluctuate in future periods as deposit growth is not always linear.
The Company relies on increasing the deposit base to fund loans and other asset growth. The Company is in a highly competitive market and competes for local deposits by offering attractive products with competitive rates. The Company expects to have a higher average cost of funds for local deposits compared to competitor banks due to the lack of an extensive branch network. The Company’s strategy is to offset the higher cost of funding with a lower level of operating expense. When appropriate, the Company utilizes alternative funding sources such as brokered deposits. The brokered deposit market provides flexibility in structure, optionality and efficiency not afforded in traditional retail deposit channels. As of June 30, 2024, total brokered deposits were $1.03 billion, an increase of $7.8 million, compared to total brokered deposits of $1.02 billion at December 31, 2023. Brokered deposits continue to be used as a supplemental funding source, as needed, to support loan portfolio growth.

The Company believes that it will be able to meet all contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate cash levels. The Company expects to maintain adequate cash levels through earnings, loan and securities repayments and maturity activity and continued deposit gathering activities. As described above, the Company has in place various borrowing mechanisms for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
Capital
Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2024 was $439.2 million, an increase of $13.7 million, or 3.2%, compared to total shareholders’ equity of $425.5 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to net income retained and an increase in unrealized gains in the derivatives portfolio, offset partially by preferred stock dividends and stock repurchases.
Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $13.53 as of June 30, 2024, an increase of 5.4% from $12.84 as of December 31, 2023. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 7.90% at June 30, 2024, compared to 7.73% at December 31, 2023.
Stock Repurchase Program. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 252,707 shares of its common stock, representing less than 1% of the Company’s outstanding shares. Shares were repurchased during this period at a weighted average price of $11.48 for a total of $2.9 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 446,509 shares of its common stock, representing 1.6% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. Shares were repurchased during this period at a weighted average price of $11.60 per share, for a total of $5.2 million. All shares repurchased under the stock repurchase program were converted to authorized but unissued shares. At June 30, 2024, the remaining amount that could be used to repurchase shares under the stock repurchase program was $15.3 million. The Company remains committed to maintaining strong capital levels while enhancing shareholder value as it strategically executes its stock repurchase program based on various factors including valuation, capital levels and other uses of capital.
Regulatory Capital. The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by federal banking regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and Bank’s business.
59
Management believes the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject as of June 30, 2024. The regulatory capital ratios for the Company and the Bank to meet the minimum capital adequacy standards and for the Bank to be considered well capitalized under the prompt corrective action framework are set forth in the following tables. The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of the dates indicated are presented in the following tables:

Regulations include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% that was added to the minimum requirements for capital adequacy purposes. A banking organization with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, stock repurchases and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. At June 30, 2024, the ratios for the Company and the Bank were sufficient to meet the conservation buffer.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions to meet the financing needs of clients, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in the consolidated balance sheets. These transactions include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Most of these commitments mature within two years and the standby letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon. All off-balance sheet commitments are included in the determination of the amount of risk-based capital that the Company and the Bank are required to hold.
60
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company decreases its exposure to losses under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures. The Company assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit and establishes a liability for probable credit losses.
The following table presents credit arrangements and financial instruments whose contract amounts represented credit risk as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The Company had outstanding letters of credit with the FHLB of $164.2 million and $114.4 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, on behalf of customers and to secure public deposits.
Liquidity
Liquidity is the Company’s capacity to meet cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost. Maintaining an adequate level of liquidity depends on the Company’s ability to efficiently meet both expected and unexpected cash flow and collateral needs without adversely affecting either daily operations or financial condition. The Bank’s Asset Liability Management, or ALM, Committee, which is comprised of members of senior management, is responsible for managing commitments to meet the needs of customers while achieving the Company’s financial objectives. The ALM Committee meets regularly to review balance sheet composition, funding capacities, and current and forecasted loan demand.
The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate levels of cash and other assets from on- and off-balance sheet arrangements. Specifically, on-balance sheet liquidity consists of cash and due from banks and unpledged investment securities available for sale, which are referred to as primary liquidity. In regards to off-balance sheet capacity, the Company maintains available borrowing capacity under secured borrowing lines with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, and a correspondent lender, as well as unsecured lines of credit for the purpose of overnight funds with various correspondent banks, which the Company refers to as secondary liquidity. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company elected not to renew its membership and discontinued its use of the American Financial Exchange, or AFX. This had no impact on liquidity ratios as the availability of funds changed daily and therefore was not previously included in secondary liquidity. The Company had no borrowings outstanding through the AFX as of December 31, 2023.
Total on- and off-balance sheet liquidity was $2.22 billion as of June 30, 2024, compared to $2.23 billion at December 31, 2023. The Company did not utilize the Federal Reserve Discount Window during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, primary liquidity decreased by $772,000 due to a $3.0 million decrease in securities available for sale, offset partially by a $643,000 increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $1.6 million decrease in pledged securities, when compared to December 31, 2023. Secondary liquidity decreased by $11.1 million as of June 30, 2024, when compared to December 31, 2023, due to a $47.6 million decrease in the borrowing capacity with the FHLB, offset partially by a $36.4 million increase in the borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank.
In addition to primary liquidity, the Company generates liquidity from cash flows from the loan and securities portfolios and from the large base of core customer deposits, defined as noninterest bearing transaction, interest bearing transaction, savings, non-brokered money market accounts and non-brokered time deposits less than $250,000. At June 30, 2024, core deposits totaled approximately $2.58 billion and represented 67.9% of total deposits. These core deposits are normally less volatile, often with customer relationships tied to other products offered by the Company, which promote long-standing relationships and stable funding sources.
The Company uses brokered deposits, the availability of which is uncertain and subject to competitive market forces and regulation, for liquidity and interest rate risk management purposes. At June 30, 2024, brokered deposits totaled $1.03 billion, consisting of $892.1 million of brokered time deposits and $140.2 million of non-maturity brokered money market and transaction accounts. At December 31, 2023, brokered deposits totaled $1.02 billion, consisting of $850.5 million of brokered time deposits and $174.0 million of non-maturity brokered money market and transaction accounts.
The Company’s liquidity policy includes guidelines for On-Balance Sheet Liquidity (a measurement of primary liquidity to total deposits plus borrowings), Total On-Balance Sheet Liquidity with Borrowing Capacity (a measurement of primary and secondary liquidity to total deposits plus borrowings), Wholesale Funding Ratio (a measurement of total wholesale funding to total deposits plus borrowings), and other guidelines developed for measuring and maintaining liquidity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
As a financial institution, the Company’s primary market risk is interest rate risk, which is defined as the risk of loss of net interest income or net interest margin because of changes in interest rates. The Company continually seeks to measure and manage the potential impact of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk occurs when interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities mature or re-price at different times, on a different basis or in unequal amounts. Interest rate risk also arises when assets and liabilities each respond differently to changes in interest rates.
The Company’s management of interest rate risk is overseen by its ALM Committee, based on a risk management infrastructure approved by the board of directors that outlines reporting and measurement requirements. In particular, this infrastructure sets limits and management targets for various metrics, including net interest income simulation involving parallel shifts in interest rate curves, steepening and flattening yield curves, and various prepayment and deposit duration assumptions. The Company’s risk management infrastructure also requires a periodic review of all key assumptions used, such as identifying appropriate interest rate scenarios, setting loan prepayment rates
64
based on historical analysis and noninterest bearing and interest bearing transaction deposit durations based on historical analysis. The Company does not engage in speculative trading activities relating to interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, equities or credit.
The Company manages the interest rate risk associated with interest earning assets by managing the interest rates and terms associated with the investment securities portfolio by purchasing and selling investment securities from time to time. The Company manages the interest rate risk associated with interest bearing liabilities by managing the interest rates and terms associated with wholesale borrowings and deposits from customers which the Company relies on for funding. For example, the Company occasionally uses special offers on deposits to alter the interest rates and terms associated with interest bearing liabilities.
The Company has entered into certain hedging transactions including interest rate swaps and caps, which are designed to lessen elements of the Company’s interest rate exposure. Cash flow hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the variability of future cash flows or other forecasted transactions. The Company utilizes cash flow hedges to manage interest rate exposure for the brokered deposit and wholesale borrowing portfolios. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these cash flow hedges had a total notional amount of $278.0 million and $308.0 million, respectively. In the event that interest rates do not change in the manner anticipated, such transactions may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
Net Interest Income Simulation
The Company uses a net interest income simulation model to measure and evaluate potential changes in net interest income that would result over the next 12 months from immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of the measurement date. This model has inherent limitations and the results are based on a given set of rate changes and assumptions as of a certain point in time. For purposes of the simulation, the Company assumes no growth in either interest-sensitive assets or liabilities over the next 12 months; therefore, the model’s results reflect an interest rate shock to a static balance sheet. The simulation model also incorporates various other assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable but which may have a significant impact on results, such as: (1) the timing of changes in interest rates, (2) shifts or rotations in the yield curve, (3) re-pricing characteristics for market-rate-sensitive instruments, (4) differing sensitivities of financial instruments due to differing underlying rate indices, (5) varying loan prepayment speeds for different interest rate scenarios, (6) the effect of interest rate limitations in assets, such as floors and caps, and (7) overall growth and repayment rates and product mix of assets and liabilities. Because of the limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on the results, but rather as a means to better plan and execute appropriate asset-liability management strategies and to manage interest rate risk.
Potential changes to the Company’s net interest income in hypothetical rising and declining rate scenarios calculated as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are presented in the table below. The projections assume an immediate, parallel shift downward of the yield curve of 100, 200, and 300 basis points and immediate, parallel shifts
65
upward of the yield curve of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points. In the current interest rate environment, a downward shift of the yield curve of 400 basis points does not provide us with meaningful results and thus is not presented.

The table above indicates that as of June 30, 2024, in the event of an immediate and sustained 400 basis point increase in interest rates, the Company would experience a 4.94% decrease in net interest income. In the event of an immediate 300 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Company would experience a 9.98% increase in net interest income.
The results of this simulation analysis are hypothetical, and a variety of factors might cause actual results to differ substantially from what is depicted. For example, if the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes differ from those projected, net interest income might vary significantly. Non-parallel yield curve shifts such as a flattening or steepening of the yield curve or changes in interest rate spreads would also cause net interest income to be different from that depicted. An increasing interest rate environment could reduce projected net interest income if deposits and other short-term liabilities re-price faster than expected or re-price faster than the Company’s assets. Actual results could differ from those projected if the Company grows assets and liabilities faster or slower than estimated, if the Company experienced a net outflow of deposit liabilities, or if the mix of assets and liabilities otherwise changes. Actual results could also differ from those projected if the Company experienced substantially different repayment speeds in the loan portfolio than those assumed in the simulation model. Finally, these simulation results do not contemplate all the actions that the Company may undertake in response to potential or actual changes in interest rates, such as changes to the Company’s loan, investment, deposit, or funding strategies.

(1) | The total number of shares repurchased during the periods indicated includes shares repurchased as part of the Company’s stock repurchase program and shares withheld for income tax purposes in connection with vesting of restricted stock. The shares were purchased or otherwise valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of purchase and/or withholding. |
(2) | On August 17, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved a stock repurchase program which authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $25.0 million of its common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The stock repurchase program will expire on August 16, 2024. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any shares of its common stock, and other than repurchases that have been completed to date, there is no assurance that the Company will do so. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares of common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, and other relevant considerations, as determined by the Company. The Company may, in its discretion, begin, suspend or terminate repurchases at any time prior to the Program’s expiration, without any prior notice. |
