Appendix 2 Agriculture Lending & Economy
Ag Lending 101 • Underwriting identical to comparable C&I and CRE loans where cash flow is the primary repayment source and loan and line amounts subject to loan value ("LTV") limits and "normalized" collateral values • Liquid markets typically exist for ag-related collateral which is the secondary repayment source (e.g., harvested grain or grain inventory, cattle, farm equipment and land sale/lease) in foreclosure scenarios • Many market and economic conditions can influence the profitability of individual borrowers; key to partner with seasoned producers that manage their own cost structure diligently Overview Grains • 34% of the Ag loan portfolio or approx. 8% of overall loan portfolio • Most borrowers in footprint in MW states (IA, SD, NE) ◦ Corn and soybeans primary crop production • Corn and soybean prices spiked beginning in late 2007 and remained high for 3-4 years ◦ Drove cost of production higher as land and other input costs were in high demand; ◦ Gross value of corn production per acre increased 138% from 2006 to 2011 (USDA) • Crop prices have reverted to more sustainable long-term levels but costs have not reset as quickly • Federally-subsidized crop insurance protects a portion of grain producers' projected revenue each year 28
Ag Lending 101 (cont'd) 29 Beef Cattle Dairy • 24.2% of the Ag loan portfolio or approx. 6% overall, primarily in SD • Beef cattle producers include: ◦ Cow-calf operators that breed cattle and raise calves to a certain weight (typically 500-600 lbs.; "Feeder Cattle") ◦ Feedlots who purchase feeder cattle and finish them for sale to processors (typically 1200+lbs.; "Live Cattle") ◦ GWB portfolio split roughly 74/26 as of 06/30/17 • Industry is very cyclical driven by supply and demand (e.g., prices paid by feedlots dictate how many calves are bred and which stock cattle are retained for breeding vs. slaughtered) • 22.1% of the Ag loan portfolio or approx. 5% overall, primarily in AZ • Very cyclical pricing over time; producers that manage costs, are vertically integrated and use risk management techniques are best suited to generate profitability over time • Arizona has a milk quota system that enhances milk price margins for units of production providing some stability for producers • Dairy (and beef cattle) producers benefit from low grain prices (primary production cost in food form for animals)
Ag Economy 30 Highlights • Industry balance sheets remain strong with debt/asset and debt/equity ratios below long-term averages and significantly below 1980s levels that precipitated, and resulted, from the period of high losses in the early 1980s • Ag sector net charge-offs have historically been low for the industry and for Great Western Bank Farm Balance Sheet Overview (1) Source: USDA Economic Research Service; 2016 & 2017 are forecast data
Appendix 3 Accounting for Loans at FV and Related Derivatives
Loans at FV and Related Derivatives 32 Overview Summary Income Statement Line Item: Net increase (decrease) in fair value of loans at fair value Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives Net Relationship Notes Increase (decrease) in FV related to interest rates $ 5,768 $ (5,768) $ — (1) Increase (decrease) in FV related to credit $ 292 $ — $ 292 (2) Current period realized cost of derivatives $ — $ (3,320) $ (3,320) (3) Subtotal, loans at FV and related derivatives $ 6,060 $ (9,088) $ (3,028) (4) (1) Equal and offsetting each period. Changes in the FV of each financial asset and liability driven by current compared to contractual rates. (2) Management records an adjustment for credit risk in noninterest income based on loss history for similar loans, adjusted for an assessment of existing market conditions for each loan segment. The FV adjustment related to credit is not included in the ALLL but loans are included in the ALLL coverage ratio denominator. (3) Current period actual cost of fixed-to-float interest rate swaps. Within non-GAAP financial measures, management reclassifies this component to interest income, resulting in adjusted interest income, adjusted net interest income and adjusted NIM, reflecting the underlying economics of the transactions. All else equal, this drag on earnings will reduce as short-term LIBOR rates increase. (4) While US GAAP mandates the presentation of these items in noninterest income, management believes the residual net amount economically represents the net credit exposure of this segment of the portfolio - presented as a "credit-related charge" in the earnings release and elsewhere (see note (2)) - and the current period derivative cost which should be analyzed relative to gross interest income received from the loan customers (see note (3)) as presented in non-GAAP measures. • For certain loans with an original term greater than 5 years with a fixed rate to the customer, Great Western Bank (“GWB”) has entered into equal and offsetting fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps with two US counterparties • Total size of the portfolio was $1.05 billion at June 30, 2017 • GWB has elected the Fair Value Option (ASC 825) on these loans and applies a similar treatment to the related derivatives: • Changes in the fair value of the loans and the derivatives and the current period realized cost (benefit) of the derivatives (i.e., the net pay fixed/receive floating settlement) are recorded in earnings through noninterest income • This differs significantly from most peers who have elected Hedge Accounting treatment • The historical election is irrevocable so the concept will be present for the foreseeable future in GWB’s financial statements even if different accounting elections are made on future originations • Management presents non-GAAP measures to provide more clarity on the underlying economics
