Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations—CBTX, Inc., or the Company or CBTX, operates 34 branches, 18 in the Houston market area, 15 in the Beaumont/East Texas market area and 1 in Dallas, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CommunityBank of Texas, N.A., or the Bank. The Bank provides relationship-driven commercial banking products and services primarily to small and medium-sized businesses and professionals with operations within the Bank’s markets.

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, but do not include all the information and footnotes required for complete consolidated financial statements. In management’s opinion, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and consolidated results of operations and consolidated shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end and the results for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year due in part to global economic and financial market conditions, interest rates, access to sources of liquidity, market competition and interruptions of business processes. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Share Repurchase Program—The Company repurchased 93,415 shares under the Company’s share repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2022 at an average price of $27.66. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repurchased 181,089 shares at an average price of $27.44. Shares repurchased were retired and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted—Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2022-02, eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings, or TDRs, by creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Under the new guidance, the creditor must determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. ASU 2022-02 also requires the disclosure of the current-period gross loan charge-offs as a component of vintage disclosure. This update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements may be adopted separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU.

Cash Flow Reporting—As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $1.8 million in cash held as collateral on deposit with other financial institution counterparties related to interest rate swap transactions that are considered restricted cash. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 0 cash held as collateral related to interest rate swap transactions.

NaN securities were sold in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, securities with a carrying amount of $26.2 million and $25.6 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

Management did not believe that any of the securities the Company held at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021 were impaired due to credit quality. Accordingly, 0 allowance for credit losses, or ACL, was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2022 or during 2021. This is based upon our analysis of the underlying risk characteristics, including credit ratings, and other qualitative factors related to our available for sale securities and in consideration of our historical credit loss experience and internal forecasts. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. The unrealized losses are due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline.

Accrued interest receivable for securities was $2.4 million and $2.0 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company held 417 and 115 securities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, that were in a gross unrealized loss position.

NOTE 3: EQUITY INVESTMENTS

The Company’s unconsolidated investments that are considered equity securities as they represent ownership interests, such as common or preferred stock as of the dates indicated below were as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Federal Reserve Bank stock	$	9,271	$	9,271
Federal Home Loan Bank stock		3,981		3,967
The Independent Bankers Financial Corporation stock		141		141
Community Reinvestment Act investments		4,680		4,348
	$	18,073	$	17,727

Banks that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank are required to maintain a stock investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank calculated as a percentage of aggregate outstanding mortgages, outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other financial instruments. As a member of the Federal Reserve, the Bank is required to annually subscribe to Federal Reserve Bank stock in specific ratios to the Bank’s equity. Although Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock are considered equity securities, they do not have readily determinable fair values because ownership is restricted, and they lack a readily-available market. These investments can be sold back only at their par value of $100 per share and can only be sold to the Federal Home Loan Banks or the Federal Reserve Banks or to another member institution. In addition, the equity ownership rights are more limited than would be the case for a public company because of the oversight role exercised by regulators in the process of budgeting and approving dividends. As a result, these investments are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment.

The Company also holds an investment in the stock of The Independent Bankers Financial Corporation, which has limited marketability. As a result, this investment is carried at cost and evaluated for impairment.

The Company has investments in investment funds and limited partnerships that are qualified Community Reinvestment Act, or CRA, investments and investments under the Small Business Investment Company program of the Small Business Administration, or SBA. There are limited to no observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical investments or similar investments from the same issuers that are actively traded and, as a result, these investments are stated at cost. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $4.9 million and $6.3 million, respectively, in outstanding unfunded commitments to these funds, which are subject to call.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 2 of these investment funds sold underlying investments for more than their book value and the Company recorded a total gain of $1.2 million, which is included in net gains on sales of assets in the condensed consolidated income statement.

The Company’s equity investments are evaluated for impairment based on an assessment of qualitative indicators, which include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant deterioration in the earnings, performance, credit rating, asset quality or business prospects of the investee; (ii) a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic or technological environment of the investee; (iii) a significant adverse change in the general market conditions of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates; and (iv) a bona fide offer to purchase, an offer by the investee to sell, or completed auction process for the same or similar investment for an amount less than the carrying amount of the investment. There were no such qualitative indicators as of June 30, 2022.

Loan modifications related to a loan refinancing or restructuring other than a troubled debt restructuring are accounted for as a new loan if the terms provided to the borrower are at least as favorable to the Company as terms for comparable loans to other borrowers with similar collection risks that is not a loan refinancing or restructuring. If the loan refinancing or restructuring does not meet this condition or if only minor modifications are made to the original loan contract, it is not considered a new loan and is considered a renewal or modification of the original contract. Restructured or modified loans are not considered past due if they are performing under the terms of the modified or restructured payment schedule.

A troubled debt restructuring is considered in default when a payment in accordance with the terms of the restructuring is more than 30 days past due. All loans restructured in a troubled debt restructuring are individually evaluated based on the underlying collateral for the determination of an ACL.

There were 0 troubled debt restructurings with payment defaults during the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 and troubled debt restructuring during the twelve months ended June 30, 2021 with payment defaults were as follows:

NOTE 6: ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company primarily manages credit quality and credit risk associated with its loan portfolio based on the risk grading assigned to each individual loan within the loan class. Each loan class is a grouping of loan receivables within the portfolio based on risk characteristics and the method for monitoring and assessing the associated credit risks.

Risk Grading

The methodology used by the Company in the determination of its ACL, which is performed at least on a quarterly basis, is designed to be responsive to changes in the credit quality of the loan portfolio as well as forecasted economic conditions. The credit quality of the loan portfolio is assessed through different processes. At origination, a risk grade is assigned to each loan based on underwriting procedures and criteria. The risk grades used are described below. The Company monitors the credit quality of the loan portfolio on an on-going basis by performing loan reviews, both internally and through a third-party vendor, on loans meeting certain risk and exposure criteria. Through these reviews, loans that require risk grade changes are approved by executive management. In addition, executive management reviews classified and criticized loans to assess changes in credit quality of the underlying loan, and when determined appropriate, based on individual evaluation, approve specific reserves.

Pass—Credits in this category contain an acceptable amount of risk.

Special Mention—Credits in this category contain more than the normal amount of risk and are referred to as special mention in accordance with regulatory guidelines. These credits possess clearly identifiable temporary weaknesses or trends that, if not corrected or revised, may result in a condition that exposes the Company to a higher level of risk of loss.

Substandard—Credits in this category are substandard in accordance with regulatory guidelines and of unsatisfactory credit quality with well-defined weaknesses or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Credits in this category are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Often, the assets in this category will have a valuation allowance representative of management’s

Table of Contents

estimated loss that is probable to be incurred. Loans deemed substandard and on nonaccrual status are individually evaluated for expected credit losses.

Doubtful—Credits in this category are considered doubtful in accordance with regulatory guidelines, are placed on nonaccrual status and may be dependent upon collateral having a value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty. Generally, these credits will have a valuation allowance based upon management’s best estimate of the losses probable to occur in the liquidation of the debt.

Loss—Credits in this category are considered loss in accordance with regulatory guidelines and are considered uncollectible and of such little value as to question their continued existence as assets on the Company’s financial statements. Such credits are charged off or charged down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. This category does not intend to imply that the debt or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that the debt will be forgiven.

The Company had 0 loans graded loss or doubtful at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the ratio of the ACL for loans to loans excluding loans held for sale was 1.06% and 1.09%, respectively. The ACL increased from $31.3 million at December 31, 2021 to $32.1 million at June 30, 2022, primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio. Although national and local economies and economic forecasts improved during 2021 and 2022, geopolitical instabilities, inflation, rising interest rates, supply disruptions and other uncertainties continue and these factors are considered in the forecasts and qualitative factors used to determine the Company’s ACL.

The total of the Company’s qualitative and quantitative factors ranged from 0.64% to 1.99% and 0.62% to 2.08% at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. All factors are reassessed at the end of each quarter.

The review of the appropriateness of the ACL, which includes evaluation of historical loss trends, qualitative adjustments and forecasted economic conditions applied to general reserves, is performed by executive management and presented to the Board of Directors for its review on a quarterly basis. The ACL at June 30, 2022, reflects the Company’s assessment based on the information available at that time.

NOTE 13: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. In estimating fair value, the Company uses valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied.

Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions used in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation inputs are categorized in a three-level hierarchy, that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs—Other observable inputs that may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, there were 0 transfers of assets or liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon models that primarily use observable market-based parameters as inputs. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.

The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value could result in different estimates of fair value. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of the various instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:

Debt Securities Available for Sale—Debt securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value. For those debt securities classified as Level 1 and Level 2, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things. The Company reviews the prices supplied by the independent pricing service, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies for reasonableness.

Equity Securities—Equity securities are recorded at fair value and the fair value measurements are based on observable data obtained from a third-party pricing service. The Company reviews the prices supplied by the service against publicly available information. The equity securities are mutual funds publicly traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations and the fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted market prices which are considered Level 1 inputs.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Swaps—The Company obtains fair value measurements for its interest rate swaps from an independent pricing service which uses the income approach. The income approach calls for the utilization of valuation techniques to convert future cash flows as due to be exchanged per the terms of the financial instrument, into a single present value amount. Measurement is based on the value indicated by the market expectations about those future amounts as of the measurement date. The proprietary curves of the independent pricing service utilize pricing models derived from industry standard analytic tools, considering both Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. Interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2.

The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret data to develop the estimates of fair value and as such the fair values shown above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company will realize. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

NOTE 14: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has outstanding interest rate swap contracts with certain customers and equal and offsetting interest rate swaps with other financial institutions entered into at the same time. These interest rate swap contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for mitigating interest rate risk. The objective of the transactions is to allow customers to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate.

In connection with each swap transaction, the Company agreed to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, the Company agreed to pay a third-party financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. Because the Company acts

Table of Contents

as an intermediary for its customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts are designed to offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s operating results except in certain situations where there is a significant deterioration in the customer’s credit worthiness or that of the counterparties. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, management determined there was 0 such deterioration.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 13 and 19 interest rate swap agreements outstanding with borrowers and financial institutions, respectively. These derivative instruments are not designated as accounting hedges and changes in the net fair value are recognized in other noninterest income. Fair value amounts are included in other assets and other liabilities.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had two and one credit risk participation agreements with another financial institution, respectively, that are associated with interest rate swaps related to loans for which the Company is the lead agent bank and the other financial institution provides credit protection to the Company should the borrower fail to perform under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of the agreements is determined based on the market value of the underlying interest rate swaps adjusted for credit spreads and recovery rates.

As part of this compensation arrangement, the Company contributes one-fourth of the incentive bonus amount into a deferred compensation account. The deferred amounts accrue at a market rate of interest and are payable to the employees upon separation from the Bank provided vesting arrangements have been met. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount payable, including interest, for this deferred plan was approximately $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, which is included in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Salary Continuation Agreements

The Company entered into a salary continuation arrangement in 2008 with the Company’s then President and Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, that calls for payments of $100,000 per year for a period of 10 years commencing at age 65. Payments under the plan began during 2014. The Company’s liability was $106,000 and $153,000 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which is included in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and equals the present value of the benefits expected to be provided.

In October 2017, the Company entered into a salary continuation arrangement with the Company’s President and CEO that calls for payments of $200,000 per year payable for a period of 10 years commencing at age 70. Payments under the plan will begin in 2024. The Company’s liability was $1.0 million and $900,000 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which is included in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liability will continue to accrue over the remaining period until payments commence such that the accrued amount at the eligibility date will equal the present value of all the future benefits expected to be paid.

NOTE 18: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company acquired a stock option plan which originated under VB Texas, Inc. as a part of a merger of the two companies, or the 2006 Plan. At the merger date, all outstanding options under this plan became fully vested and exercisable. The plan expired in 2016 and no additional options may be granted under its terms. As of June 30, 2022, there were options outstanding to acquire 16,567 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2006 Plan, all of which will expire in 2022 if not exercised.

In 2014, the Company adopted the 2014 Stock Option Plan, or the 2014 Plan, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders and limits the number of shares that may be optioned to 1,127,200. The 2014 Plan provides that 0 options may be granted after May 20, 2024. Options granted under the 2014 Plan expire 10 years from the date of grant and become exercisable in installments over a period of one to five years, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. As of June 30, 2022, 963,200 shares were available for future grant. NaN options have been issued under the 2014 Plan since 2017.

In 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the 2017 Plan. The 2017 Plan authorizes the Company to grant options, performance-based and non-performance based restricted stock awards as well as various other types of stock-based awards and other awards that are not stock-based to eligible employees, consultants and non-employee directors up to an aggregate of 600,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2022, 243,895 shares were available for future grant under the 2017 Plan.

The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock awards is estimated based on the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Restricted stock shares are considered fully issued at the time of the grant and the grantee becomes the record owner of the restricted stock and has voting, dividend and other shareholder rights. The shares of restricted stock are non-transferable and subject to forfeiture until the restricted stock vests and any dividends with respect to the restricted stock are subject to the same restrictions, including the risk of forfeiture.

Non-performance based restricted stock grants vest over the service period in equal increments over a period of two to five years, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

The number of shares earned under the Company’s performance-based restricted stock award agreements is based on the achievement of certain branch production goals. Compensation expense for performance-based restricted stock is recognized for the probable award level over the period estimated to achieve the performance conditions and other goals, on a straight-line basis. If the probable award level and/or the period estimated to be achieved change, compensation expense will be adjusted via a cumulative catch-up adjustment to reflect these changes. The performance conditions and goals must be achieved within five years or the awards expire. The number of performance-based shares granted presented in the table.

NOTE 19: REGULATORY MATTERS

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

The Company and the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital includes common stock and related capital surplus, net of treasury stock, and retained earnings. In connection with the adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, the Company and the Bank elected to opt-out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income in Common Equity Tier 1 capital. Common Equity Tier 1 capital for both the Company and the Bank is reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, net of associated deferred tax liabilities.

The Basel III Capital Rules require the Company and the Bank to maintain: (i) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (which is added to the 4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 7.0%); (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%); (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2) to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% total capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5%); and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average quarterly assets.

The Basel III Capital Rules also provide for a “countercyclical capital buffer” that is applicable to only certain covered institutions and does not have any current applicability to the Company and the Bank. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and, as detailed above, effectively increases the minimum required risk-weighted capital ratios. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets below the effective minimum (4.5% plus the capital conservation buffer and, if applicable, the countercyclical capital buffer) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

In November 2019, the federal bank regulatory agencies published a final rule, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework, or the Framework, to simplify capital calculations for community banks. The Framework provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for certain community banking organizations. The Framework is optional and is designed to reduce burden by removing requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios. Depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10.0 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a leverage ratio of greater than 9.0%, are considered qualifying community banking organizations and are eligible to opt into the Framework. A qualifying community banking organization that elects to use the Framework and that maintains a Tier 1 capital-to-adjusted total assets ratio, or leverage capital ratio, of greater

Table of Contents

than 9.0% is considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk-based and leverage capital requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules and, if applicable, is considered to have met the “well capitalized” ratio requirements for purposes of its primary federal regulator’s prompt corrective action rules. The final rule became effective January 1, 2020, and organizations that opt into the Framework and meet the criteria established by the rule can use the Framework for regulatory reports for the year ended December 31, 2020. In April 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies announced two interim final rules to provide relief associated with Section 4012 of the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act. For institutions that elect the Framework, the interim rules temporarily lowered the leverage ratio requirement to 8.0% for the second quarter of 2020 through the end of calendar year 2020 and to 8.5% for the 2021 calendar year and greater than 9.0% thereafter. The Company determined not to opt into the Framework and will continue to compute regulatory capital ratios based on the Basel III Capital Rules discussed above.

In September 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies finalized an interim final rule that allows banking organizations to mitigate the effects of CECL on their regulatory capital computations. The rule permitted banking organizations that were required to adopt CECL for purposes of GAAP (as in effect January 1, 2021) for a fiscal year beginning during the calendar year 2020, the option to delay for up to two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (i.e., a transition period of five years in total). The Company determined not to use the transition provision and has reported the full effect of CECL upon adoption and for each reporting period thereafter in its regulatory capital calculation and ratios.

The Company is subject to the regulatory capital requirements administered by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and, for the Bank, those administered by the Office of Comptroller of Currency, or OCC. Regulatory authorities can initiate certain mandatory actions if the Company or the Bank fail to meet the minimum capital requirements, which could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Management believes, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

On June 18, 2021, the Bank and the OCC entered into a formal agreement, or the Formal Agreement, with regard to Bank Secrecy Act, or BSA, and anti-money laundering, or AML, compliance matters. On September 7, 2021, the OCC terminated the Formal Agreement, dated June 18, 2021 between the Bank and the OCC relating to the Bank’s BSA/AML compliance program.

To resolve the BSA/AML compliance matters, on December 16, 2021, the Bank, entered into an OCC Consent Order. Under the OCC Consent Order, the Bank paid a civil money penalty of $1.0 million.

On December 15, 2021, the Bank entered into a FinCEN Consent Order. Under the terms of the FinCEN Consent Order, the Bank paid a civil money penalty of $8.0 million; provided, however, that FinCEN agreed to credit the Bank the $1.0 million civil money penalty imposed by the OCC described above. As a result, the Bank paid an aggregate sum of $8.0 million under the OCC Consent Order and the FinCEN Consent Order. The OCC Consent Order and the FinCEN Consent Order each settled the civil money proceedings against the Bank initiated by the OCC and FinCEN.

Dividend Restrictions

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be dependent upon dividends from the Bank to provide funds for the payment of dividends to shareholders and to provide for other cash requirements. Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid. Approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels. Approval is also required if dividends declared exceed the net profits for that year combined with the retained net profits for the preceding two years.

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict which will arise. In addition, the Company cannot assess the impact of each factor on its 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.

Overview

The Company operates through one segment. The Company’s primary source of funds is deposits and its primary use of funds is loans. Most of the Company’s revenue is generated from interest on loans and investments. The Company incurs interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds as well as noninterest expense, such as salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses.

The Company’s operating results depend primarily on net interest income, calculated as the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Changes in market interest rates and the interest rates earned on interest-earning assets or paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as in the volume and types of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income. Fluctuations in market interest rates are driven by many factors, including governmental monetary policies, inflation, deflation, macroeconomic developments, changes in unemployment, the money supply, political and international conditions and conditions in domestic and foreign financial markets.

Periodic changes in the volume and types of loans in the Company’s loan portfolio are affected by, among other factors, economic and competitive conditions in Texas, as well as developments affecting the real estate, technology, financial services, insurance, transportation, manufacturing and energy sectors within the Company’s target markets and throughout the state of Texas. The Company maintains diversity in its loan portfolio as a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions. The Company’s focus on lending to small to medium-sized businesses and professionals in its market areas has resulted in a diverse loan portfolio comprised primarily of core relationships. The

Company carefully monitors exposure to certain asset classes to minimize the impact of a downturn in the value of such assets.

The Company seeks to remain competitive with respect to interest rates on loans and deposits, as well as prices on fee-based services, which are typically significant competitive factors within the banking and financial services industry. Many of the Company’s competitors are much larger financial institutions that have greater financial resources and compete aggressively for market share. Through the Company’s relationship-driven, community banking strategy, a significant portion of its growth has been through referral business from its existing customers and professionals in the Company’s markets including attorneys, accountants and other professional service providers.

Uncertain Economic Outlook

Although national and local economies and economic forecasts improved during 2021 and 2022, geopolitical instabilities, inflation, rising interest rates, supply disruptions and other uncertainties continue and these factors are considered in the forecasts and qualitative factors used to determine the Company’s ACL. If the national and/or local economies and economic forecasts and loan performance indicators worsen in the future, increases in the ACL through additional provisions for credit losses may occur which would negatively impact net income. The future impact of these items is uncertain but could materially affect the Company’s future financial and operational results. See “Part I—Item 1A.—Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

The increase in net income during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in the provision (recapture) for credit losses. The increase in net income during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and a decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in the provision (recapture) for credit losses. See further analysis of the material fluctuations in the related discussions that follow.

Net Interest Income for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net interest income increased $3.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due higher average rates on interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions and securities, higher average securities and loans and lower rates on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower rates on loans.

The yield on interest-earning assets was 3.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 3.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 0.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Yields on interest-earning assets decreased and the costs of interest-bearing liabilities remained at about the same level, which caused compression of the Company’s net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis to 3.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 3.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was $126,000 and $561,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to a recapture of $5.1 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

The provision for credit losses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 was comprised of a $479,000 and $499,000 provision for credit losses for loans, respectively, due to increases in the loan portfolio and a $353,000 recapture and a $62,000 provision for credit losses, respectively, due to fluctuations in available unfunded commitments.

The recapture of credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were the result of certain qualitative factor adjustments made on the ACL. Due to improvements in the national economy, economic forecasts and improved loan quality during those periods, the Company adjusted its economic forecasts and certain loan quality factors.

Noninterest Income

The following table presents components of noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the period-over-period changes in the categories of noninterest income:


	Three Months Ended June 30,							Six Months Ended June 30,

Total noninterest income	$	3,546	$	3,491	$	55	1.6%	$	8,875	$	6,602	$	2,273	34.4%

The increase in noninterest income of $2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to payments totaling $1.5 million recognized for early termination of a land lease included in other noninterest income and a gain of $1.2 million for sales of assets underlying a portion of the Company’s equity investments, partially offset by a loss of $1.2 million included in net gain on sale of assets for disposals

of buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment for the land lease that was terminated early. See “Part I—Item 1.—Financial Statements—Note 3”.

Noninterest income was $3.5 million for both the second quarter of 2022 and 2021. Deposit account service charge income was $219,000 higher and net gains on sales of assets were $308,000 lower in the second quarter of 2022, compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Noninterest Expense

Generally, noninterest expense is composed of employee expenses and costs associated with operating facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships and providing bank services. See further analysis of these changes in the related discussions that follow.

Noninterest expense decreased $1.4 million and $72,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

The decrease in noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in professional and director fees, primarily related to BSA/AML compliance matters and legal fees, partially offset by higher salaries and employee benefits, primarily due to higher health insurance expense and $1.8 million of costs related to the pending merger with Allegiance.

The decrease in noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2022, compared to the second quarter of 2021, was primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in professional and director fees, primarily related to BSA/AML compliance matters and decrease in legal fees, partially offset by $1.0 million of costs related to the pending merger with Allegiance.

Income Tax Expense

The amount of income tax expense is impacted by the amounts of pre-tax income, tax-exempt income and other nondeductible expenses. Income tax expense and effective tax rates for the periods indicated below were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2022	2021	2022	2021
Income tax expense	$ 2,827	$ 2,692	$ 5,104	$ 5,177
Effective tax rate	19.45%	18.70%	18.62%	19.25%

The differences between the federal statutory rate of 21% and the effective tax rates presented in the table above were primarily related to tax exempt interest income, bank-owned life insurance and merger-related costs.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company maintains an ACL that represents management’s best estimate of the expected credit losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the ACL should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will necessarily occur in those amounts. In determining the ACL, the Company estimates losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the probable loss can be identified and reasonably determined. The balance of the ACL is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current and forecasted economic factors and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on certain historical loan loss rates. Please refer to “Part I—Item 1.—Financial Statements—Note 6.”

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, securities with a carrying amount of approximately $26.2 million and $25.6 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

Deposits

Total deposits as of June 30, 2022 were $3.8 billion, a decrease of $74.7 million, or 1.9%, compared to December 31, 2021. Noninterest-bearing deposits as of June 30, 2022 were $1.8 billion, an increase of $25.3 million, or 1.4%, compared to December 31, 2021. Total interest-bearing account balances as of June 30, 2022 were $1.9 billion, a decrease of $99.9 million, or 4.9%, from December 31, 2021, primarily due to decreases in interest-bearing demand deposits and money market accounts, partially offset by increases in certificates and other time deposits and savings accounts.

The components of deposits as of the dates indicated below were as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		Increase (Decrease)
Interest-bearing demand accounts	$	445,149	$	468,361	$	(23,212)	(5.0%)

Securities pledged which secure certain public deposits were not considered in determining the amount of uninsured deposits.

Cash and Equivalents

Cash and equivalents decreased $466.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to increases in loans, purchases of securities, net deposit outflows and repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Other Assets

Other assets increased $15.5 million from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022, primarily due to a $12.7 million increase in net deferred tax assets resulting from an increase in the deferred tax asset related to unrealized losses on the Company’s available for sale securities and a $2.6 million increase in the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company monitors its liquidity and may seek to obtain additional financing to further support its business if necessary. The Company’s primary source of funds has been customer deposits and the primary use of funds has been funding of loans.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $484.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $550.1 million of securities, which are considered to be liquid assets, compared to $950.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $425.0 million of securities as of December 31, 2021. This decrease in liquid assets of $341.1 million during the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to a $74.7 million decrease in deposits, an increase of $164.6 million in loans excluding loans held for sale and repayment of $50.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Historically, the cost of the Company’s deposits has been lower than other sources of funds available. Average rates paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were computed on an annualized basis. Average balances and average rates paid on deposits for the periods indicated were as follows:

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no exposure to future cash requirements associated with known uncertainties or capital expenditures of a material nature.

The Company also enters into commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit to meet customer financing needs and, in accordance with GAAP, these commitments are not reflected as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Due to the nature of these commitments, the amounts disclosed in the table below do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to the Company’s customers.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit expiring by period as of the dates indicated were as follows:

As a general matter, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insured depository institutions and their holding companies are required to maintain minimum capital relative to the amount and types of assets they hold. The Company and the Bank are both subject to regulatory capital requirements. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company and the Bank were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements at the bank holding company and bank levels, and the Bank was classified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations. The OCC or the FDIC may require the Bank to maintain capital ratios above the required minimums and the Federal Reserve may require the Company to maintain capital ratios above the required minimums. See “Part I—Item 1.—Financial Statements—Note 19.”

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and other relevant market rates and prices. As a financial institution, the Company’s primary component of market risk is interest rate risk due to future interest rate changes. Fluctuations in interest rates impact both income and expense recorded on most of the Company’s assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which have a short-term to maturity period.

The Company manages exposure to interest rates by structuring its balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not enter into instruments such as leveraged derivatives, financial options, financial future contracts or forward delivery contracts to reduce interest rate risk. The Company enters into interest rate swaps as an accommodation to customers. The Company is not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk and does not own any trading assets.

The Company has asset, liability and funds management policies that provide the guidelines for effective funds management and has established a measurement system for monitoring the net interest rate sensitivity position. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Funds Management Committee of the Bank. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk with consideration of the impact on earnings and

Table of Contents

capital of the current outlook on interest rates, potential changes in interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. The committee meets regularly to review, among other things, the relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits and consumer and commercial deposit activity.

The Company uses interest rate risk simulation models and shock analyses to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and fair value of equity and the impact of changes in interest rates on other financial metrics. Contractual maturities and re-pricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the model, as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data and call options within the investment portfolio. Average life of non-maturity deposit accounts are based on standard regulatory decay assumptions and are incorporated into the model. The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various strategies.

On a quarterly basis, two simulation models are run, including a static balance sheet and dynamic growth balance sheet. These models test the impact on net interest income and fair value of equity from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. The results from these models are impacted by the behavior of interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities as well as the mixture of those assets and liabilities. Under the static and dynamic growth models, rates are shocked instantaneously and ramped rate changes over a 12-month horizon based upon parallel and non-parallel yield curve shifts. Parallel shock scenarios assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. Non-parallel simulation involves analysis of interest income and expense under various changes in the shape of the yield curve. The Company’s internal policy regarding internal rate risk simulations currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net income at risk for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 10.0% for a 100-basis point shift, 20.0% for a 200-basis point shift and 30.0% for a 300-basis point shift.

Table of Contents

Simulated change in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon as of the dates indicated below were as follows:


	June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
Change in Interest	Percent Change in		Percent Change		Percent Change in		Percent Change
Rates (Basis Points)	Net Interest Income		Fair Value of Equity		Net Interest Income		Fair Value of Equity
+ 300	13.2	%	(1.6)	%	25.4	%	6.7	%
+ 200	9.2	%	1.7	%	16.9	%	13.0	%

Base	—	%	—	%	—	%	—	%
−100	(10.9)	%	(12.7)	%	(2.5)	%	(37.2)	%

The Company's model simulation as of June 30, 2022 indicates that its projected balance sheet was less asset sensitive in comparison to its balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. The shift to a less asset sensitive position was primarily due to the deployment of interest-bearing cash deposits (primarily amounts held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve) to originate loan growth during the second quarter 2022 and deposit balance run off that resulted in an increase to the economic value of equity. This combined with the recent interest rate increases from the Fed resulted in less sensitivity to future rate increases and more sensitive to downward rate movements.

LIBOR Transition

LIBOR was used as an index rate for a majority of the Company’s interest-rate swaps and approximately 5.1% of the Company’s loans at June 30, 2022. In March 2021, the UK Financial Conduct authority formally confirmed that a number of U.S. dollar LIBOR rates will be available until the end of June 2023 to support the rundown of legacy contracts. The Company’s transition away from LIBOR may span several reporting periods through June 2023.

The Company’s loans that remain indexed to LIBOR are primarily participations and syndications where the Company is not the lead agent bank and the transition away from LIBOR is dependent on the lead agent bank. The Company is in active discussions with the lead agent banks regarding these loans indexed to LIBOR. These lead agent banks have LIBOR transition programs in place to assist in the transition from LIBOR. The Company’s interest-rate swaps are paired swaps and the interest-rate swaps are established by dealers that have many such agreements and have established or will establish fallback language to transition away from LIBOR.

If not sufficiently planned for, the discontinuation of LIBOR could result in financial, operational, legal, reputational or compliance risks to the Company. One of the major identified risks is inadequate fallback language in various existing instruments’ contracts that may result in issues establishing the alternative index and adjusting the margin as applicable. The Company continues to monitor this activity and evaluate the related risks to its business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, the Company also evaluates its performance based on certain additional non-GAAP financial measures. The Company classifies a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are not included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating, other statistical measures or ratios calculated using exclusively financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the way the Company calculates non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

The Company calculates tangible equity as total shareholders’ equity, less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, and tangible book value per share as tangible equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the relevant period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per share is book value per share. The Company calculates tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible

Table of Contents

equity to tangible assets is total shareholders’ equity to total assets. The Company believes that tangible book value per share and tangible equity to tangible assets are measures that are important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in book value per share and total shareholders’ equity to total assets, exclusive of change in intangible assets.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total shareholders’ equity to tangible equity, total assets to tangible assets and presents book value per share, tangible book value per share, total shareholders’ equity to total assets and tangible equity to tangible assets:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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

Changes in internal control over financial reporting—There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. The Company is from time to time subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.

At this time, in the opinion of management, the likelihood is remote that the impact of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in any claim or litigation against the Company could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention and may materially and adversely affect the Company’s reputation, even if resolved in the Company’s favor.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
