(1) The Corporation adopted the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Update 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" in the first quarter of 2018 which permitted a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings of the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which changed the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. As a result, $7.1 million of stranded tax effects were reclassified from AOCI to retained earnings during the first quarter of 2018. |

FULTON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Fulton Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The Corporation evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing of this Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASC Update 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." This standards update requires a lessee to recognize for all leases with an initial term greater than twelve months: (1) a "right-of-use" ("ROU") asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term; and (2) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, each measured on a discounted basis. This standards update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Corporation adopted ASC Update 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019 using the alternative transition method, which eliminates the requirement to restate the earliest prior period presented in an entity’s financial statements. As such, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.
This standards update provides for a number of practical expedients in transition. The Corporation elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which, among other things, allowed it to carryforward the prior conclusions on lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. In addition, the Corporation elected to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Corporation did not elect the practical expedient to apply hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of the ROU assets. See "Note 6 - Leases" for additional information and expanded lessee disclosures.
This standards update also provides additional guidance on lessor accounting. The Corporation provides equipment lease financing to its customers, which are categorized as direct financing leases. The adoption of this standards update did not result in any changes to the accounting for this type of lease as the lessor.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Standard | Description | Date of Anticipated Adoption | Effect on Financial Statements |
ASC Update 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments | The new impairment model prescribed by this standards update is a single impairment model for all financial assets (i.e., loans and held to maturity investments). The recognition of credit losses would be based on an entity’s current estimate of expected losses (referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss model, or "CECL"), as opposed to recognition of losses only when they are incurred under current GAAP. This update also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. This adjustment will also be recognized in regulatory capital. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASC Update 2018-19, "Codifications Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are accounted for using lease guidance and not as financial instruments. ASC Update 2019-04 and 2019-05 were issued to provide certain clarifications and transition relief to adopting this standards update. | First Quarter of 2020 | The Corporation intends to adopt these standards updates effective with its March 31, 2020 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Corporation believes that total credit loss reserves will increase at the adoption date and that the magnitude of the increase will depend on the composition, characteristics and quality of its loan portfolio and off balance sheet credit exposures as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date. The Corporation is in the early stages of conducting parallel runs of its new processes and controls and is beginning its model validation process. The Corporation will continue to make refinements to its credit loss model throughout the remainder of 2019. |
ASC Update 2017-04 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment | The FASB issued this update to simplify the subsequent quantitative measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, identifying and measuring impairment will take place in a single quantitative step. In addition, no separate qualitative assessment for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts is required. Entities must disclose the existence of these reporting units and the amount of goodwill allocated to them. This update should be applied on a prospective basis, and an entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. This update is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. | Fourth Quarter of 2020, in line with its annual impairment testing in October of each year | The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Corporation has not needed to perform step 2 since its 2012 impairment testing. |
ASC Update 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement | This update changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurement." Among other things, the update modifies the disclosure objective paragraphs of ASC 820 to eliminate: (1) "at a minimum" from the phrase "an entity shall disclose at a minimum;" and (2) other similar disclosure requirements to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities. | First Quarter of 2020 | The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2020 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This standard will impact the Corporation's Fair Value Measurement disclosure, but the Corporation does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

Standard | Description | Date of Anticipated Adoption | Effect on Financial Statements |
ASC Update 2018-14 Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans | This update amends ASC Topic 715-20 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. | First Quarter of 2021 | The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2021 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This standard will impact the Corporation's disclosure relating to employee benefit plans, but the Corporation does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
ASC Update 2018-15 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Topic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract | This update requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. This update is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. | First Quarter of 2020 | The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2020 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

The Corporation’s collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. The change in fair value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost. Therefore, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2019.
As of June 30, 2019, all of the auction rate securities (auction rate certificates, or "ARCs") were rated above investment grade. Based on management’s evaluations, none of the ARCs were subject to any other-than-temporary impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, which may be at maturity.

The Corporation segments its loan and lease portfolio by general loan type, or "portfolio segments," as presented in the table under the heading, "Loans and Leases, Net of Unearned Income," above. Certain portfolio segments are further disaggregated and evaluated collectively for impairment based on "class segments," which are largely based on the type of collateral underlying each loan. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans. Construction loans include loans secured by commercial real estate, loans to commercial borrowers secured by residential real estate and loans to individuals secured by residential real estate. Consumer loans include direct consumer installment loans and indirect vehicle loans.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan and lease losses represents management’s estimate of incurred losses in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans and leases. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of incurred losses in its unfunded loan commitments and other off balance sheet credit exposures, such as letters of credit, and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance for credit losses is increased by charges to expense, through the provision for credit losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
The Corporation’s allowance for credit losses includes: (1) specific allowances allocated to loans and leases individually evaluated for impairment (FASB ASC Section 310-10-35); and (2) allowances calculated for pools of loans and leases collectively evaluated for impairment (FASB ASC Subtopic 450-20).

Impaired Loans and Leases
A loan or lease is considered to be impaired if it is probable that all amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan or lease agreement. Impaired loans and leases consist of all loans and leases on non-accrual status and accruing troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"). An allowance for loan and lease losses is established for an impaired loan or lease if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Impaired loans and leases to borrowers with total commitments greater than or equal to $1.0 million are evaluated individually for impairment. Impaired loans and leases to borrowers with total commitments less than $1.0 million are pooled and measured for impairment collectively.
All loans and leases individually evaluated for impairment are measured for losses on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, substantially all of the Corporation’s individually evaluated impaired loans and leases with total commitments greater than or equal to $1.0 million were measured based on the estimated fair value of each loan’s collateral. Collateral could be in the form of real estate, in the case of impaired commercial mortgages and construction loans, or business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, in the case of commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial loans may also be secured by real estate.
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximately 84% and 89%, respectively, of impaired loans and leases with principal balances greater than or equal to $1.0 million, whose primary collateral is real estate, were measured at estimated fair value using appraisals performed by state certified third-party appraisers that had been updated in the preceding 12 months.
When updated appraisals are not obtained for loans and leases evaluated for impairment that are secured by real estate, fair values are estimated based on the original appraisal values, as long as the original appraisal indicated an acceptable loan-to-value position and, in the opinion of the Corporation's internal credit administration staff, there has not been a significant deterioration in the collateral value since the original appraisal was performed. Original appraisals are typically used only when the estimated collateral value, as adjusted for the age of the appraisal, results in a current loan-to-value ratio that is lower than the Corporation's loan-to-value requirements for new loans, generally less than 70%.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were $78.9 million and $77.6 million, respectively, of impaired loans and leases that did not have a related allowance for loan and lease losses. The estimated fair values of the collateral securing these loans and leases exceeded their carrying amount, or the loans and leases were previously charged down to realizable collateral values. Accordingly, no specific valuation allowance was considered to be necessary.

Credit Quality Indicators and Non-performing Assets
The following is a summary of the Corporation's internal risk rating categories:
• | Pass: These loans do not currently pose undue credit risk and can range from the highest to average quality, depending on the degree of potential risk. |
• | Special Mention: These loans have a heightened credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard. Loans in this category are currently acceptable, but are nevertheless potentially weak. |
• | Substandard or Lower: These loans are inadequately protected by current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower. There exists a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the normal repayment of the debt. |
The risk rating process allows management to identify credits that potentially carry more risk in a timely manner and to allocate resources to managing troubled accounts. The Corporation believes that internal risk ratings are the most relevant credit quality indicator for the class segments presented in the preceding tables. The migration of loans through the various internal risk rating categories is a significant component of the allowance for credit loss methodology, which bases the probability of default on this migration. Assigning risk ratings involves judgment. The Corporation's loan review officers provide an independent assessment of risk rating accuracy. Ratings may be changed based on the ongoing monitoring procedures performed by loan officers or credit administration staff, or if specific loan review activities identify a deterioration or an improvement in the loan.
The following table presents internal credit risk ratings for the indicated loan class segments:

The Corporation does not assign internal risk ratings to smaller balance, homogeneous loans and leases, such as home equity, residential mortgage, construction loans to individuals secured by residential real estate, consumer and leases. For these loans and leases, the most relevant credit quality indicator is delinquency status. The migration of loans and leases through the various delinquency status categories is a significant component of the allowance for credit losses methodology for those loans and leases, which bases the probability of default on this migration.

MSRs represent the economic value of existing contractual rights to service mortgage loans that have been sold. Accordingly, actual and expected prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans can impact the value of MSRs. The Corporation accounts for MSRs at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.
The fair value of MSRs is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows from servicing income, net of expense, over the expected life of the underlying loans at a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with these assets. Expected life is based on the contractual terms of the loans, as adjusted for prepayment projections. The fair values of MSRs were $44.9 million and $50.2 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Based on its fair value analysis, the Corporation determined no valuation allowance was necessary as of June 30, 2019 or 2018.
NOTE 6 – Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted ASC Update 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," using the modified retrospective method of applying the new standard at the adoption date. In addition, the Corporation elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard as the lessee. This permitted the carry forward of the conclusions on lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Corporation also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. Financial results for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance (Topic 842), while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance (Topic 840).
As a lessee, the majority of the operating lease portfolio consists of real estate leases for the Corporation's branches, land and office space. The operating leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 20 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for 5 years or more. ROU assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. The Corporation does not have any finance leases as the lessee.
Certain real estate leases have lease payments that adjust based on annual changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). The leases that are dependent upon CPI are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date and are included in the measurement of the lease liability.
21
Operating lease expense primarily represents fixed lease payments for operating leases recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. Variable lease expense represents the payment of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance based on the Corporation's pro-rata share.
In addition, the Corporation rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties. The rental and sublease portfolio consists mostly of operating leases for space within the Corporation's offices and branches.
The following table presents the components of the Corporation’s lease costs for operating leases as the lessee, which is included in net occupancy expense on the consolidated statements of income (in thousands):
Three months ended | Six months ended | |||||||
June 30, 2019 | June 30, 2019 | |||||||
Operating lease expense | $ | 4,796 | $ | 9,486 | ||||

As previously disclosed in the Corporation's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and under Topic 840, future minimum lease payments for operating leases having initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2018 were $18.0 million, $17.3 million, $15.7 million, $13.7 million, $11.4 million for years 2019 through 2023, respectively, and $43.3 million in the aggregate for all years thereafter.
NOTE 7 – Derivative Financial Instruments
The Corporation manages its exposure to certain interest rate and foreign currency risks through the use of derivatives. None of the Corporation's outstanding derivative contracts are designated as hedges, and none are entered into for speculative purposes. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as components of non-interest income or non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.
Derivative contracts create counterparty credit risk with both the Corporation's customers and with institutional counterparties. The Corporation manages counterparty credit risk through its credit approval processes, monitoring procedures and obtaining adequate collateral, when the Corporation determines it is appropriate to do so and in accordance with counterparty contracts.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Corporation enters into commitments to originate certain fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for customers, also referred to as interest rate locks. In addition, the Corporation enters into forward commitments for the future sales or purchases of mortgage-backed securities to or from third-party counterparties to hedge the effect of changes in interest rates on the values of both the interest rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale. Forward sales commitments may also be in the form of commitments to sell individual mortgage loans at a fixed price at a future date. The amount necessary to settle each interest rate lock is based on the price that secondary market investors would pay for loans with similar characteristics, including interest rate and term, as of the date fair value is measured. Gross derivative assets and liabilities are recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets, and changes in fair values during the period are recorded in mortgage banking income on the consolidated statements of income.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Corporation enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Corporation simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate. These interest rate swaps are derivative financial instruments and the gross fair values are recorded in other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair values during the period recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income. Fulton Bank, N.A. ("Fulton Bank"), the Corporation's largest banking subsidiary, exceeds $10 billion in total assets and is required to clear all eligible interest rate swap contracts with a central counterparty. As a result, Fulton Bank is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC").
Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Corporation enters into foreign exchange contracts to accommodate the needs of its customers. Foreign exchange contracts are commitments to buy or sell foreign currency on a specific date at a contractual price. The Corporation limits its foreign exchange exposure with customers by entering into contracts with institutional counterparties to mitigate its foreign exchange risk. The Corporation also holds certain amounts of foreign currency with international correspondent banks ("Foreign Currency Nostro Accounts"). The Corporation limits the total overnight net foreign currency open positions, which is defined as an aggregate of all outstanding contracts and Foreign Currency Nostro Account balances, to $500,000. Gross fair values are recorded in other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair values during the period recorded in other income on the consolidated statements of income.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, gains related to changes in fair values of mortgage loans held for sale were $304,000 and $324,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, gains related to changes in fair values of mortgage loans held for sale were $325,000 and $127,000, respectively.
Balance Sheet Offsetting
Although certain financial assets and liabilities may be eligible for offset on the consolidated balance sheets because they are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements, the Corporation elects to not offset such qualifying assets and liabilities.
The Corporation is a party to interest rate swap transactions with financial institution counterparties and customers, disclosed in detail above. Under these agreements, the Corporation has the right to net-settle multiple contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Cash collateral is posted by the party with a net liability position in accordance with contract thresholds and can be used to settle the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements in the event of default. A daily settlement occurs through a clearing agent for changes in the fair value of centrally cleared derivatives. As a result, the total fair values of interest rate swap derivative assets and derivative liabilities recognized on the consolidated balance sheet are not equal and offsetting.
The Corporation is also a party to foreign currency exchange contracts with financial institution counterparties, under which the Corporation has the right to net-settle multiple contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. As with interest rate swap contracts, collateral is posted by the party with a net liability position in accordance with contract thresholds and can be used to settle the fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts in the event of default.
The Corporation also enters into agreements with customers in which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities, referred to as repurchase agreements. Under these agreements, the Corporation may transfer legal control over the assets but still maintain effective control through agreements that both entitle and obligate the Corporation to repurchase the assets. Therefore, repurchase agreements are reported as secured borrowings, classified in short-term borrowings
25
on the consolidated balance sheets, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain classified with investment securities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation does not enter into reverse repurchase agreements; therefore, there is no such offsetting to be done with the repurchase agreements.
The following table presents the Corporation's financial instruments that are eligible for offset, and the effects of offsetting, on the consolidated balance sheets:

Cash and securities collateral amounts are included in the table only to the extent of the net derivative fair values. |
NOTE 8 – Tax Credit Investments
The Corporation's tax credit investments ("TCIs") are primarily related to investments promoting qualified affordable housing projects and investments in community development entities. The majority of these tax-advantaged investments support the Corporation's corporate mission and vision, as well as regulatory compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. The Corporation's investments in these projects generate a return primarily through the realization of federal income tax credits and deductions for operating losses over a specified time period.
The TCIs are included in other assets, with any unfunded equity commitments carried in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Certain TCIs qualify for the proportional amortization method and are amortized over the period the Corporation expects to receive the tax credits, with the expense included within income taxes on the consolidated statements of income. Other TCIs are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, with amortization included within non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income. This amortization includes equity in partnership losses and the systematic write-down of investments over the period in which income tax credits are earned. All of the TCIs are evaluated for impairment at the end of each reporting period. As illustrated below, realizable tax credits are included within income taxes and offset the amortization expense recorded.

NOTE 10 – Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value using the following three categories (from highest to lowest priority):
• | Level 1 – Inputs that represent quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
• | Level 2 – Inputs that represent quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical instruments in non-active markets. Also includes valuation techniques whose inputs are derived principally from observable market data other than quoted prices, such as interest rates or other market-corroborated means. |
• | Level 3 – Inputs that are largely unobservable, as little or no market data exists for the instrument being valued. |
All assets and liabilities measured at fair value on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis, have been categorized into the above three levels. The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reported on the consolidated balance sheets:

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the preceding tables are as follows:
• | Mortgage loans held for sale – This category consists of mortgage loans held for sale that the Corporation has elected to measure at fair value. Fair values as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were measured based on the price that secondary market investors were offering for loans with similar characteristics. See "Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments" for details related to the Corporation’s election to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. |
• | Available for sale investment securities – Included in this asset category are debt securities. Level 2 available for sale debt securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry. The pricing service uses pricing models that vary based on asset class and incorporate available market information, including quoted prices of investment securities with similar characteristics. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, pricing models use available information, as applicable, through processes such as benchmark yield curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing. |
Standard market inputs include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data, including market research publications. For certain security types, additional inputs may be used, or some of the standard market inputs may not be applicable.
Management tests the values provided by the pricing service by obtaining securities prices from an alternative third-party source and comparing the results. This test is performed for at least 95% of the securities valued by the pricing service. Generally, differences by security in excess of 5% are researched to reconcile the difference.
• | U.S. Government sponsored agency securities/State and municipal securities/Collateralized mortgage obligations/Residential mortgage-backed securities/Commercial mortgage-backed securities – These debt securities are classified as Level 2 investments. Fair values are determined by a third-party pricing service, as detailed above. |
• | Corporate debt securities – This category consists of subordinated debt and senior debt issued by financial institutions ($175.2 million at June 30, 2019 and $86.1 million at December 31, 2018), single-issuer trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions ($18.3 million at June 30, 2019 and $18.6 million at December 31, 2018), pooled trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions ($0 at June 30, 2019 and $875,000 at December 31, 2018) and other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions ($3.9 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018). |
31
Level 2 investments include the Corporation’s holdings of subordinated debt and senior debt, other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions and $16.0 million and $16.3 million of single-issuer trust preferred securities held at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair values for these corporate debt securities are determined by a third-party pricing service, as detailed above.
Level 3 investments include the Corporation’s investments in pooled trust preferred securities ($0 at June 30, 2019 and $875,000 at December 31, 2018) and certain single-issuer trust preferred securities ($2.4 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018). The fair values of these securities were determined based on quotes provided by third-party brokers who determined fair values based predominantly on internal valuation models which were not indicative prices or binding offers. The Corporation’s third-party pricing service cannot derive fair values for these securities primarily due to inactive markets for similar investments. Level 3 values are tested by management primarily through trend analysis, by comparing current values to those reported at the end of the preceding calendar quarter, and determining if they are reasonable based on price and spread movements for this asset class.
• | Auction rate securities – Due to their illiquidity, ARCs are classified as Level 3 investments and are valued through the use of an expected cash flows model prepared by a third-party valuation expert. The assumptions used in preparing the expected cash flows model include estimates for coupon rates, time to maturity and market rates of return. The most significant unobservable input to the expected cash flows model is an assumed return to market liquidity sometime in the next five years. If the assumed return to market liquidity was lengthened beyond the next five years, this would result in a decrease in the fair value of these ARCs. The Corporation believes that the trusts underlying the ARCs will self-liquidate as student loans are repaid. Level 3 fair values are tested by management through the performance of a trend analysis of the market price and discount rate. Changes in the price and discount rates are compared to changes in market data, including bond ratings, parity ratios, balances and delinquency levels. |
• | Investments held in Rabbi Trust – This category consists of mutual funds that are held in trust for employee deferred compensation plans that the Corporation has elected to measure at fair value. Shares of mutual funds are valued based on net asset value, which represent quoted market prices for the underlying shares held in the mutual funds, and as such, are classified as Level 1 and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets ($20.8 million at June 30, 2019 and $18.4 million at December 31, 2018). |
• | Derivative assets – Fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts classified as Level 1 assets ($331,000 at June 30, 2019 and $392,000 at December 31, 2018). The mutual funds and foreign exchange prices used to measure these items at fair value are based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
Level 2 assets, representing the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the form of interest rate locks and forward commitments with secondary market investors ($2.3 million at June 30, 2019 and $1.2 million at December 31, 2018) and the fair value of interest rate swaps ($138.0 million at June 30, 2019 and $61.4 million at December 31, 2018). The fair values of the Corporation’s interest rate locks, forward commitments and interest rate swaps represent the amounts that would be required to settle the derivative financial instruments at the balance sheet date. See "Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments," for additional information.
• | Deferred compensation liabilities – Fair value of amounts due to employees under deferred compensation plans, classified as Level 1 liabilities and are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets ($20.8 million at June 30, 2019 and $18.4 million at December 31, 2018). The fair values of these liabilities are determined in the same manner as the related assets, as described under the heading "Investments held in Rabbi Trust" above. |
• | Derivative liabilities – Level 1 liabilities, representing the fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts ($286,000 at June 30, 2019 and $381,000 at December 31, 2018). |
Level 2 liabilities, representing the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the form of interest rate locks and forward commitments with secondary market investors ($1.7 million at June 30, 2019 and $1.1 million December 31, 2018) and the fair value of interest rate swaps ($76.2 million at June 30, 2019 and $47.1 million at December 31, 2018).
The fair values of these liabilities are determined in the same manner as the related assets, as described under the heading "Derivative assets" above.

(2) | Included as a component of "net interest income" on the consolidated statements of income. |
Certain assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value measurement in certain circumstances, such as upon their acquisition or when there is evidence of impairment. The following table presents the Corporation’s Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and reported on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets:
June 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | ||||||
(in thousands) | |||||||
Net loans and leases | $ | 152,451 | $ | 149,846 | |||
OREO | 7,241 | 10,518 | |||||
MSRs | 44,916 | 50,204 | |||||
Total assets | $ | 204,608 | $ | 210,568 |
The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the table above are as follows:
• | Net loans and leases – This category consists of loans and leases that were evaluated for impairment under FASB ASC Section 310-10-35 and have been classified as Level 3 assets. The amount shown is the balance of impaired loans, net of the related allowance for loan losses. See "Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses," for additional details. |
• | OREO – This category consists of OREO classified as Level 3 assets, for which the fair values were based on estimated selling prices less estimated selling costs for similar assets in active markets. |
33
• | MSRs - This category consists of MSRs, which were initially recorded at fair value upon the sale of residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors, and subsequently carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. MSRs are amortized as a reduction to servicing income over the estimated lives of the underlying loans. MSRs are stratified and evaluated for impairment by comparing each stratum's carrying amount to its estimated fair value. Fair values are determined at the end of each quarter through a discounted cash flows valuation performed by a third-party valuation expert. Significant inputs to the valuation included expected net servicing income, the discount rate and the expected life of the underlying loans. Expected life is based on the contractual terms of the loans, as adjusted for prepayment projections. The weighted average annual constant prepayment rate and the weighted average discount rate used in the June 30, 2019 valuation were 10.2% and 9.5%, respectively. Management tests the reasonableness of the significant inputs to the third-party valuation in comparison to market data. See "Note 5 - Mortgage Servicing Rights," for additional information. |

Fair values of financial instruments are significantly affected by the assumptions used, principally the timing of future cash flows and discount rates. Because assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, the estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and, in many cases, the estimated fair values could not necessarily be realized in an
35
immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. The aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent management’s estimate of the underlying value of the Corporation.
For short-term financial instruments, defined as those with remaining maturities of 90 days or less, and excluding those recorded at fair value on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets, book value was considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The following instruments are predominantly short-term:
Assets | Liabilities | |
Cash and cash equivalents | Demand and savings deposits | |
Accrued interest receivable | Short-term borrowings | |
Accrued interest payable |
FRB and FHLB stock represent restricted investments and are carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2019, fair values for loans and leases and time deposits were estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates, as adjusted for liquidity considerations, at which similar loans and leases would be made to borrowers and similar deposits would be issued to customers for the same remaining maturities. Fair values of loans and leases also include estimated credit losses that would be assumed in a market transaction, which represents estimated exit prices.
Brokered deposits consists of demand and saving deposits, which are classified as level 1, and time deposits, which are classified as level 2. The fair value of these deposits are determined in a manner consistent with the respective type of deposits discussed above.
NOTE 11 – Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting common stock equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method. The Corporation’s common stock equivalents consist of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"). PSUs are required to be included in weighted average shares outstanding if performance measures, as defined in each PSU award agreement, are met as of the end of the period.
A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income per share and diluted net income per share follows (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 12 – Stock-Based Compensation
The Corporation grants equity awards to employees in the form of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs or PSUs under its Amended and Restated Equity and Cash Incentive Compensation Plan ("Employee Equity Plan"). Recent grants of equity awards under the Employee Equity Plan have generally been limited to RSUs and PSUs. In addition, employees may purchase stock under the Corporation’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The fair value of equity awards granted to employees is recognized as compensation expense over the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards. Compensation expense for PSUs is also recognized over the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards, however, compensation expense may vary based on the expectations for actual performance relative to defined performance measures.
36
The Corporation also grants equity awards to non-employee members of its board of directors and subsidiary bank boards of directors under the 2011 Directors’ Equity Participation Plan, which was amended and approved by shareholders as the Amended and Restated Directors’ Equity Participation Plan in 2019 ("Directors’ Plan"). Under the Directors’ Plan, the Corporation can grant equity awards to non-employee holding company and subsidiary bank directors in the form of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs or common stock. Recent grants of equity awards under the Directors’ Plan have been limited to RSUs.
Equity awards under the Employee Equity Plan are generally granted annually and become fully vested over or after a three-year vesting period. The vesting period for non-performance-based awards represents the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards. Equity awards under the Directors' Plan are generally granted semi-annually and become fully vested after a one-year vesting period. Certain events, as defined in the Employee Equity Plan and the Directors' Plan, result in the acceleration of the vesting of equity awards.
Fair values for RSUs and a majority of PSUs are based on the trading price of the Corporation’s stock on the date of grant and earn dividend equivalents during the vesting period, which are forfeitable if the awards do not vest. The fair value of certain PSUs are estimated through the use of the Monte Carlo valuation methodology as of the date of grant.
As of June 30, 2019, the Employee Equity Plan had 10.1 million shares reserved for future grants through 2023, and the Directors’ Plan had approximately 264,000 shares reserved for future grants through 2029.

NOTE 14 – Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Corporation 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.
Those financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets. Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the outstanding amount of those instruments.
The outstanding amounts of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit were as follows:
June 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | ||||||
(in thousands) | |||||||
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 6,688,574 | $ | 6,306,583 | |||
Standby letters of credit | 300,262 | 309,352 | |||||
Commercial letters of credit | 47,368 | 48,682 |
The Corporation records a reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which represents management’s estimate of incurred losses associated with unused commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. See "Note 4 - Loans and Leases Allowance for Credit Losses," for additional details.
Residential Lending
The Corporation originates and sells residential mortgages to secondary market investors. The Corporation provides customary representations and warranties to secondary market investors that specify, among other things, that the loans have been underwritten to the standards of the secondary market investor. The Corporation may be required to repurchase specific loans, or reimburse the investor for a credit loss incurred on a sold loan if it is determined that the representations and warranties have not been met. Under some agreements with secondary market investors, the Corporation may have additional credit exposure beyond customary representations and warranties, based on the specific terms of those agreements.
The Corporation maintains a reserve for estimated losses related to loans sold to investors. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the total reserve for losses on residential mortgage loans sold was $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, including reserves for both representation and warranty and credit loss exposures.
Legal Proceedings
The Corporation is involved in various pending and threatened claims and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Corporation evaluates the possible impact of these matters, taking into consideration the most recent information available. A loss reserve is established for those matters for which the Corporation believes a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Once established, the reserve is adjusted as appropriate to reflect any subsequent developments. Actual losses with respect to any such matter may be more or less than the amount estimated by the Corporation. For matters where a loss is not probable, or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated by the Corporation, no loss reserve is established.
In addition, from time to time, the Corporation is involved in investigations or other forms of regulatory or governmental inquiry covering a range of possible issues and, in some cases, these may be part of similar reviews of the specified activities of other companies. These inquiries or investigations could lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings involving the Corporation, and could result in fines, penalties, restitution, other types of sanctions, or the need for the Corporation to undertake remedial actions, or to alter its business, financial or accounting practices. The Corporation’s practice is to cooperate fully with regulatory and governmental inquiries and investigations.
As of the date of this report, the Corporation believes that any liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, which may result from the final outcomes of pending legal proceedings, or regulatory or governmental inquiries or investigations, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Corporation. However, legal proceedings, inquiries and investigations are often
38
unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate resolution of any such matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Corporation’s results of operations in any future period, depending, in part, upon the size of the loss or liability imposed and the operating results for the period, and could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business. In addition, regardless of the ultimate outcome of any such legal proceeding, inquiry or investigation, any such matter could cause the Corporation to incur additional expenses, which could be significant, and possibly material, to the Corporation’s results of operations in any future period.
BSA/AML Consent Order
As of April 1, 2019, the Corporation and its bank subsidiary, Lafayette Ambassador Bank, were subject to a Cease and Desist Order Issued Upon Consent ("Consent Order") issued on September 4, 2014 by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board of Governors") relating to identified deficiencies in the Corporation’s centralized Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance program.
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 23, 2019, the Board of Governors has terminated the Consent Order.
Fair Lending Investigation
During the second quarter of 2015, Fulton Bank, N.A., the Corporation’s largest bank subsidiary, received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice (the "Department") indicating that the Department had initiated an investigation regarding potential violations of fair lending laws (specifically, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act) by Fulton Bank, N.A. in certain geographies. Fulton Bank, N.A. has been and is cooperating with the Department and responding to the Department’s requests for information. During the third quarter of 2016, the Department informed the Corporation, Fulton Bank, N.A., and three of the Corporation’s other bank subsidiaries, Fulton Bank of New Jersey (which merged with and into Fulton Bank, N.A. effective on May 18, 2019), The Columbia Bank and Lafayette Ambassador Bank, that the Department was expanding its investigation of potential lending discrimination on the basis of race and national origin to encompass additional geographies that were not included in the initial letter from the Department. In addition to requesting information concerning the lending activities of these bank subsidiaries, the Department also requested information concerning the Corporation and the residential mortgage lending activities conducted under the Fulton Mortgage Company brand, the trade name used by all of the Corporation’s bank subsidiaries for residential mortgage lending. The investigation relates to lending activities during the period January 1, 2009 to the present. The Corporation and the identified bank subsidiaries are cooperating with the Department and responding to the Department’s requests for information. The Corporation and its bank subsidiaries are not able at this time to determine the terms on which this investigation will be resolved or the timing of such resolution. Should the investigation result in an enforcement action against the Corporation or its bank subsidiaries, or a settlement with the Department, the ability of the Corporation and its bank subsidiaries to engage in certain expansion or other activities may be restricted.
SEC Investigation
The Corporation is responding to an investigation by the staff of the Division of Enforcement of the SEC regarding certain accounting determinations that could have impacted the Corporation’s reported earnings per share. The Corporation believes that its financial statements filed with the SEC in Forms 10-K and 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of or for the periods ending on their respective dates. The Corporation is cooperating fully with the SEC and at this time cannot predict when or how the investigation will be resolved.
39
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("Management’s Discussion") relates to Fulton Financial Corporation (the "Corporation"), a financial holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act and incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1982, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Management’s Discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other financial information presented in this report.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Corporation has made, and may continue to make, certain forward-looking statements with respect to its financial condition, results of operations and business. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "should," "will," "could," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "expects," "future," "intends," "projects," the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements may include projections of, or guidance on, the Corporation's future financial performance, expected levels of future expenses, anticipated growth strategies, descriptions of new business initiatives and anticipated trends in the Corporation's business or financial results.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts, nor assurance of future performance. Instead, they are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of the Corporation's business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Corporation's control, and actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not unduly rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement is based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date when made. The Corporation undertakes no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Many factors could affect future financial results including, without limitation:
• | the impact of adverse conditions in the economy and capital markets on the performance of the Corporation’s loan portfolio and demand for the Corporation’s products and services; |
• | increases in non-performing assets, which may require the Corporation to increase the allowance for credit losses, charge off loans and incur elevated collection and carrying costs related to such non-performing assets; |
• | investment securities gains and losses, including other-than-temporary declines in the value of securities which may result in charges to earnings; |
• | the effects of market interest rates, and the relative balances of interest rate-sensitive assets to interest rate-sensitive liabilities, on net interest margin and net interest income; |
• | the planned phasing out of LIBOR as a benchmark reference rate; |
• | the effects of changes in interest rates on demand for the Corporation’s products and services; |
• | the effects of changes in interest rates or disruptions in liquidity markets on the Corporation’s sources of funding; |
• | the effects of the extensive level of regulation and supervision to which the Corporation and its bank subsidiaries are subject; |
• | the effects of the increasing amounts of time and expense associated with regulatory compliance and risk management; |
• | the potential for negative consequences from regulatory violations, investigations and examinations, including potential supervisory actions, the assessment of fines and penalties, the imposition of sanctions and the need to undertake remedial actions; |
• | the continuing impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on the Corporation's business and results of operations; |
• | the effects of, and uncertainty surrounding, new legislation, changes in regulation and government policy, and changes in leadership at the federal banking agencies and in Congress, which could result in significant changes in banking and financial services regulation; |
• | the effects of actions by the federal government, including those of the Federal Reserve Board and other government agencies, that impact money supply and market interest rates; |
• | the effects of changes in U.S. federal, state or local tax laws; |
• | the effects of negative publicity on the Corporation’s reputation; |
• | the effects of adverse outcomes in litigation and governmental or administrative proceedings; |
• | the potential to incur losses in connection with repurchase and indemnification payments related to sold loans; |
• | the Corporation's ability to achieve intended reductions in the time, expense and resources associated with regulatory compliance from the consolidations of its bank subsidiaries, and the impact of the significant implementation costs the Corporation expects to incur in connection with those consolidations; |
40
• | the Corporation’s ability to achieve its growth plans; |
• | completed and potential acquisitions may affect costs and the Corporation may not be able to successfully integrate the acquired business or realize the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions; |
• | the effects of competition on deposit rates and growth, loan rates and growth and net interest margin; |
• | the Corporation’s ability to manage the level of non-interest expenses, including salaries and employee benefits expenses, operating risk losses and goodwill impairment; |
• | the effects of changes in accounting policies, standards, and interpretations on the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations; |
• | the impact of operational risks, including the risk of human error, inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, computer and telecommunications systems failures, faulty or incomplete data and an inadequate risk management framework; |
• | the impact of failures of third parties upon which the Corporation relies to perform in accordance with contractual arrangements; |
• | the failure or circumvention of the Corporation’s system of internal controls; |
• | the loss of, or failure to safeguard, confidential or proprietary information; |
• | the Corporation’s failure to identify and to address cyber-security risks, including data breaches and cyber-attacks; |
• | the Corporation’s ability to keep pace with technological changes; |
• | the Corporation’s ability to attract and retain talented personnel; |
• | capital and liquidity strategies, including the Corporation’s ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements, and the Corporation’s ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms; |
• | the Corporation’s reliance on its subsidiaries for substantially all of its revenues and its ability to pay dividends or other distributions; and |
• | the effects of any downgrade in the Corporation’s credit ratings on its borrowing costs or access to capital markets. |
Additional information regarding these as well as other factors that could affect future financial results can be found in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and elsewhere in this Report, including in Note 14 "Commitments and Contingencies" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Corporation is a financial holding company which, through its wholly owned bank subsidiaries, provides a full range of retail and commercial financial services through locations in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia. The Corporation generates the majority of its revenue through net interest income, or the difference between interest earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets, and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Growth in net interest income is dependent upon balance sheet growth and maintaining or increasing the net interest margin, which is net interest income (fully taxable-equivalent, or "FTE") as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The Corporation also generates revenue through fees earned on the various services and products offered to its customers and through gains on sales of assets, such as loans, investments, or properties. Offsetting these revenue sources are provisions for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures, non-interest expenses and income taxes.

The following is a summary of financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:
• | Net Income and Net Income Per Share Growth - Net income was $59.8 million and $116.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, net income increased $24.6 million, or 69.8%, compared to the same period in 2018. Diluted net income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased $0.15, or 75.0%, to $0.35, compared to $0.20 for the same period in 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net income increased $31.8 million, or 37.5%, compared to the same period in 2018. Diluted net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $0.20, or 41.7%, to $0.68, compared to $0.48 for the same period in 2018. |
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Corporation recorded a provision of $36.8 million for a credit loss arising from a single, large commercial lending relationship ("Commercial Relationship"), impacting net income and diluted net income per share in both periods of 2018.
• | Net Interest Income Growth - Net interest income increased $8.5 million, or 5.4%, and $20.5 million, or 6.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases resulted from 5 and 9 basis point increases, respectively, in net interest margin during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and were largely driven by the impact of increases in the federal funds target rate ("Fed Funds Rate") during 2018, as well as growth in average interest-earning assets, primarily loans. |
◦ | Net Interest Margin - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the net interest margin increases were driven by 33 and 38 basis point increases, respectively, in yields on interest-earning assets, partially offset by 30 and 31 basis point increases, respectively, in the cost of funds. |
42
◦ | Loan Growth - Average loans were $547.7 million, or 3.5%, and $540.6 million, or 3.4%, higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The most notable increases were in the residential mortgage, commercial and consumer loan portfolios. |
◦ | Deposit Growth - Average deposits grew $858.0 million, or 5.5%, and $856.7 million, or 5.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. |
• | Asset Quality - Annualized net (recoveries)/charge-offs to average loans outstanding were (0.04)% and 0.03% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 1.01% and 0.56% for the same periods in 2018, respectively. During the second quarter of 2018, the Corporation charged off $33.9 million and recorded a provision of $36.8 million for a credit loss related to the Commercial Relationship. The provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $5.0 million and $10.1 million, respectively, compared to $33.1 million and $37.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2018. |
• | Non-interest Income - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $5.0 million, or 10.3%, and $5.9 million, or 6.2%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018. Increases were experienced during both periods in wealth management income, commercial banking income, mortgage banking income and consumer banking. |
• | Non-interest Expense - Non-interest expense increased $10.8 million, or 8.1%, and $12.0 million, or 4.4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, in comparison to the same periods in 2018. Increases in salaries and employee benefits, other outside services and net occupancy expense were partially offset by decreases in various other categories. Non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 included $5.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of expenses related to consolidation of the Corporation's bank subsidiaries. |
• | Income Taxes - Income tax expense was $9.9 million and $20.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates ("ETR"), or income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes, of 14.2% and 14.9%, respectively, as compared to 9.0% and 11.1% for the same periods in 2018, respectively. The increases in the ETR resulted primarily from higher income before income taxes. The ETR is generally lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% due to tax-exempt interest income earned on loans, investments in tax-free municipal securities and investments in community development projects that generate tax credits under various federal programs. |

Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Based Financial Measures
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains supplemental financial information, as detailed below, which has been derived by methods other than GAAP. The Corporation has presented these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its performance internally, and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of the Corporation and companies in the Corporation's industry. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP measures, are also useful to investors to evaluate the Corporation's results. Investors should recognize that the Corporation's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures at other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, and the Corporation strongly encourages a review of its consolidated financial statements in their entirety. Following are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

Three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018
Net Interest Income
FTE net interest income increased $8.8 million, to $167.8 million, in the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $159.0 million in the same period in 2018. The increase was due to a 5 basis point increase in the net interest margin, to 3.44%, and a $764.4 million, or 4.1%, increase in average interest-earning assets. The following table provides a comparative average balance sheet and net interest income analysis for those periods. Interest income and yields are presented on an FTE basis, using a 21% federal tax rate and statutory interest expense disallowances. The discussion following this table is based on these FTE amounts.

Interest rate increases on both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the corresponding increases in FTE interest income and interest expense were largely the result of Fed Funds Rate increases during 2018. The increases in the Fed Funds Rate resulted in corresponding increases to the index rates for the Corporation's variable and adjustable rate loans, primarily the prime rate and the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR").
As summarized above, the 33 basis point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets resulted in a $16.8 million increase in FTE interest income. The yield on the loan and lease portfolio increased 37 basis points, or 8.6%, from the second quarter of 2018, as all variable and certain adjustable rate loans repriced to higher rates and yields on new loan originations generally exceeded the average yield on the loan portfolio. Adjustable rate loans reprice on dates specified in the loan agreements, which may be later than the date the Fed Funds Rate and related loan index rates increase or decrease. As such, the impact of changes in index rates on adjustable rate loans may not be fully realized until future periods. Additionally, the increase in average interest-earning assets, primarily loans, since the second quarter of 2018, resulted in a $7.4 million increase in FTE interest income.
Interest expense increased $15.4 million primarily due to the 38 basis point increase in the rate on average interest-bearing liabilities. The rates on average interest-bearing demand deposits and savings and money market deposits increased 28 and 37 basis points, respectively, which contributed $2.9 million and $4.5 million to the increase in interest expense, respectively. In addition, the 48 basis point and 71 basis point increases in the rates on time deposits and short-term borrowings, respectively, contributed $3.3 million and $1.7 million to the increase in interest expense, respectively.

Average loans and leases increased $547.7 million, or 3.5%, compared to the same period of 2018. The increase was driven largely by growth in the residential and commercial mortgage loan portfolios, as well as the commercial and consumer portfolios. The $340.5 million, or 16.8%, increase in residential mortgages was experienced across all geographic markets, with the most significant increases occurring in the Virginia and New Jersey markets. The $125.7 million, or 2.0%, increase in commercial mortgages occurred primarily in the Maryland, Delaware and Virginia markets, partially offset by decreases in the New Jersey and Pennsylvania markets. The $105.8 million, or 2.4%, increase in commercial loans was realized primarily in the Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania markets. Consumer loans increased $100.1 million, or 29.0%, across all geographic markets.

N/M - Not meaningful
Average total demand and savings accounts increased $541.1 million, or 4.2%, driven by increases in savings and money market deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits. The overall increase in total demand and savings deposits was primarily due to a $237.2 million, or 3.7%, increase in consumer account balances, a $222.2 million, or 10.6%, increase in municipal account balances and an $89.6 million, or 2.2%, increase in business account balances.
Average brokered deposits increased $160.9 million, which was the result of the introduction of new brokered deposit programs in 2018. Average time deposits increased $156.0 million, or 5.9%, primarily driven by promotional rate offerings.
The average cost of total deposits increased 30 basis points, to 0.80%, for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 0.50% for the same period of 2018, mainly as a result of the Fed Funds Rate increases during 2018.

Average total short-term borrowings decreased $81.7 million, or 8.0%, primarily as a result of a $216.5 million, or 54.4%, decrease in federal funds purchased and a $133.5 million, or 27.9%, decrease in short-term customer funding, partially offset by a $268.3 million increase in short-term FHLB advances and other borrowings during the second quarter of 2019.
Average total long-term debt increased $106.7 million, or 11.3%, during the second quarter of 2019, compared to the same period of 2018, primarily as a result of an increase in average FHLB advances.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of $28.1 million from the same period of 2018. The $33.1 million provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2018 was driven by the $36.8 million provision for credit loss arising from the Commercial Relationship.
The provision for credit losses is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of income and is the amount necessary to adjust the allowance for credit losses to its appropriate balance, as determined through the Corporation's allowance methodology. The Corporation determines the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses based on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including, but not limited to: the size and composition of the loan portfolio, changes in risk ratings, changes in collateral values, delinquency levels, historical losses and economic conditions. See the "Financial Condition" section of Management's Discussion under the heading "Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses" for details related to the Corporation's provision and allowance for credit losses.

Excluding net investment securities gains, non-interest income increased $5.0 million, or 10.3%, in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. Wealth management income increased $1.4 million, or 10.5%, resulting primarily from growth in brokerage income due to an increase in client asset levels and improved overall market performance.
Total commercial banking income increased $2.0 million, or 12.2%, compared to the same period in 2018, driven by increases in commercial loan interest rate swap fees and merchant and card income. Commercial loan interest rate swap fees tend to fluctuate from period to period based on new commercial loan originations volumes, the current interest rate environment and the shape of the yield curve, among other factors.
Total consumer banking income increased $436,000, or 3.7%, compared to the same period in 2018, with increases in card income, consisting of both debit and credit cards, and overdraft fees.
Mortgage banking income increased $1.4 million, or 27.7%, with increases in both gains on sales of mortgage loans and mortgage servicing income. The increase in gains on sales of mortgage loans was driven by increases in volumes of loans sold, and higher spreads on sales.

In the second quarter of 2019, $5.1 million of expenses were incurred related to consolidation of the Corporation's bank subsidiaries, as compared to $410,000 in the second quarter of 2018, a $4.7 million increase. The 2019 expenses were primarily in salaries and benefits ($1.6 million) and other outside services ($2.7 million). Excluding these consolidation expenses, non-interest expense increased $6.1 million, or 4.6%.
The following provides explanations for the more significant fluctuations in expense levels, by category:
• | The $4.1 million, or 5.4%, increase in salaries and employee benefits reflects the net impact of a $2.8 million increase in employee salaries, due mainly to annual merit increases and incentive compensation expense. Benefits increased $1.3 million, primarily due to higher severance costs, related to consolidation of the Corporation's bank subsidiaries, which were partially offset by a decrease in health insurance expense due to favorable claims experience. |
• | Net occupancy expense increased $1.7 million, or 13.4%, due to the addition of properties in 2019, as well as certain other expenses. |
• | Data processing and software increased $815,000, or 7.8%, reflecting higher transaction volumes. |
• | Other outside services increased $3.7 million, or 48.8%, largely due to costs associated with consolidation of the Corporation's bank subsidiaries and consulting services related to various banking and technology initiatives. |
• | Professional fees increased $598,000, or 25.2%, primarily due to higher legal fees. The Corporation incurs fees related to various legal matters in the normal course of business. These fees can fluctuate based on the timing and extent of these matters. |
• | Marketing expense increased $528,000, or 22.6%, due to the timing of various promotions and rebranding related to consolidation of the Corporation's bank subsidiaries. |
• | Intangible amortization increased $107,000 as a result of the acquisition of the assets of a wealth management business with approximately $250 million in assets under management or administration, which was completed in January 2019. |
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $9.9 million, a $6.4 million increase from $3.5 million for the same period in 2018. The Corporation’s ETR was 14.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 9.0% in the
50
same period of 2018. The increase in income tax expense and ETR primarily resulted from higher income before taxes as compared to the same period of 2018. The ETR is generally lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% due to tax-exempt interest income earned on loans, investments in tax-free municipal securities and investments in community development projects that generate tax credits under various federal programs.

Net Interest Income
FTE net interest income increased $21.1 million, to $334.4 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $313.3 million in the same period in 2018. The increase was due to a 9 basis point increase in the net interest margin, to 3.46%, and a $737.8 million, or 3.9%, increase in average interest-earning assets. The following table provides a comparative average balance sheet and net interest income analysis for those periods. Interest income and yields are presented on an FTE basis, using a 21% federal tax rate and statutory interest expense disallowances. The discussion following this table is based on these FTE amounts.

Interest rate increases on both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the corresponding increases in FTE interest income and interest expense were largely the result of Fed Funds Rate increases during 2018. The increases in the Fed Funds Rate resulted in corresponding increases to the index rates for the Corporation's variable and adjustable rate loans, primarily the prime rate and LIBOR.
As summarized above, the 38 basis point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets resulted in a $37.3 million increase in FTE interest income. The yield on the loan portfolio increased 41 basis points, or 9.6%, from the same period of 2018, as all variable and certain adjustable rate loans repriced to higher rates and yields on new loan originations generally exceeded the average yield on the loan portfolio. Adjustable rate loans reprice on dates specified in the loan agreements, which may be later than the date the Fed Funds Rate and related loan index rates increase or decreases. As such, the impact of changes in index rates on adjustable rate loans may not be fully realized until future periods.
Interest expense increased $30.4 million, primarily due to the 38 basis point increase in the rate on average interest-bearing liabilities. The rates on average interest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market deposits and time deposits increased 30, 40 and 44 basis points, respectively. These rate increases contributed $6.2 million, $9.6 million and $6.0 million to the increase in interest expense, respectively. The volume of brokered deposits increased, contributing $1.8 million to the increase in interest expense. In addition, the 77 basis point increase in the rate on short-term borrowings resulted in a $3.4 million increase to interest expense, partially offset by a $444,000 decrease as a result of a $79.2 million decrease in average short-term borrowings.

Average loans and leases increased $540.6 million, or 3.4%, compared to the first six months of 2018. The increase was driven largely by growth in the residential mortgage and commercial loan portfolios, as well as the consumer, commercial mortgage and equipment lease financing portfolios. The $329.4 million, or 16.5%, increase in residential mortgages was experienced across all geographic markets, with the most significant increases occurring in the Virginia and New Jersey markets. The $139.7 million, or 3.2%, increase in commercial loans was realized primarily in the Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey markets. Consumer loans increased $104.3 million, or 31.5%, across all geographic markets.

N/M - Not meaningful
Average total demand and savings accounts increased $565.5 million, or 4.4%, driven by increases in savings and money market deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits. The increase in total demand and savings deposits was primarily due to a $268.0 million, or 4.2%, increase in consumer account balances, a $206.3 million, or 9.7%, increase in municipal account balances and a $94.9 million, or 2.2%, increase in business account balances.
Average brokered deposits increased $153.5 million, which was the result of the introduction of new brokered deposit programs in 2018. Average time deposits increased $137.6 million, or 5.2%, primarily driven by promotional rate offerings.
The average cost of total deposits increased 30 basis points, to 0.77%, for the first six months of 2019, compared to 0.47% for the same period in 2018, mainly as a result of the Fed Funds Rate increases during 2018.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was $10.1 million for the first six months of 2019, a decrease of $27.0 million from the same period of 2018. The $37.1 million provision for credit losses in the first half of 2018 was driven by the $36.8 million provision for credit losses recorded in the second quarter of 2018 for the Commercial Relationship.
The provision for credit losses is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of income and is the amount necessary to adjust the allowance for credit losses to its appropriate balance, as determined through the Corporation's allowance methodology. The Corporation determines the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses based on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including, but not limited to: the size and composition of the loan portfolio, changes in risk ratings, changes in collateral values, delinquency levels, historical losses and economic conditions. See the "Financial Condition" section of Management's Discussion under the heading "Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses" for details related to the Corporation's provision and allowance for credit losses.

In the first six months of 2019, $6.6 million of expenses were incurred related to consolidation of the Corporation's bank subsidiaries, as compared to $900,000 in the same period of 2018, a $5.7 million increase. The 2019 expenses were primarily in salaries and benefits ($1.6 million) and other outside services ($4.0 million). Excluding these consolidation expenses from both periods, non-interest expense increased $6.3 million, or 2.3%.
The following provides explanations for the more significant fluctuations in expense levels, by category:
• | The $6.1 million, or 4.0%, increase in salaries and employee benefits reflects the net impact of a $4.3 million increase in employee salaries, due mainly to annual merit increases and incentive compensation expense. Benefits increased $1.8 million, primarily due to higher severance expenses in 2019, related to consolidation of the Corporation's bank subsidiaries. |
• | Net occupancy expense increased $986,000, or 3.7%, due mainly to the addition of new properties and the timing of certain expenses. |
• | Data processing and software increased $695,000, or 3.3%, reflecting higher transaction volumes. |
• | Other outside services increased $3.9 million, or 25.0%, largely due to costs associated with consolidation of the Corporation's bank subsidiaries and consulting services related to various banking and technology initiatives. |
• | Intangible amortization increased $214,000 as a result of the acquisition of the assets of a wealth management business with approximately $250 million in assets under management or administration, which was completed in January 2019. |
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the first six months of 2019 was $20.4 million, a $9.8 million increase from $10.6 million for the same period in 2018. The Corporation’s ETR was 14.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 11.1% in the same period of 2018. The increase in income tax expense and ETR primarily resulted from higher income before taxes as compared to the same period in 2018. The ETR is generally lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% due to tax-exempt interest income earned on loans, investments in tax-free municipal securities and investments in community development projects that generate tax credits under various federal programs.

Total available for sale investment securities increased $205.5 million, or 9.9%. Cash flows from maturities, sales and repayments of residential mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Government sponsored agency securities and securities with shorter expected durations were reinvested in other investment categories in order to diversify the portfolio into securities with longer expected durations to better manage the Corporation's asset-sensitive interest rate risk profile. Total held to maturity securities decreased $39.1 million, or 6.4%, as a result of principal repayments and premium amortization. There were no purchases of held to maturity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Construction loans include loans to commercial borrowers secured by commercial real estate, loans to commercial borrowers secured by residential real estate, and other construction loans, which are loans to individuals secured by residential real estate. The Corporation does not have a significant concentration of credit risk with any single borrower, industry or geographic location. Approximately $7.4 billion, or 45.3%, of the loan portfolio was in commercial mortgage and construction loans as of June 30, 2019. The Corporation's internal policy limits its maximum total lending commitment to an individual borrowing relationship to $55 million as of June 30, 2019. In addition, the Corporation has established lower total lending limits for certain types of lending commitments, and lower total lending limits based on the Corporation's internal risk rating of an individual borrowing relationship at the time the lending commitment is approved.
Commercial loans also include shared national credits, which are participations in loans or loan commitments of at least $100 million that are shared by three or more banks. As of June 30, 2019, shared national credits increased $11.9 million, or 17.6%, to $79.4 million, compared to $67.5 million as of December 31, 2018. The Corporation's shared national credits are to borrowers located in its geographic markets, and are granted subject to the Corporation's standard underwriting policies.

The ability to identify potential problem loans in a timely manner is important to maintaining an adequate allowance for credit losses. For commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans to commercial borrowers, an internal risk rating process is used to monitor credit quality. The evaluation of credit risk for residential mortgages, home equity loans, construction loans to individuals, consumer loans and leases is based on payment history, through the monitoring of delinquency levels and trends. For a description of the Corporation's risk ratings, see Note 4, "Loans and Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total internally risk-rated loans were $11.7 billion as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets increased $3.7 million, or 0.7%, as a result of the acquisition of a wealth management business with approximately $250 million in assets under management or administration, which was completed in January 2019.
Other Assets
Other assets increased $165.0 million, or 24.6%, primarily as a result of the implementation of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Update 2016-02, which required the Corporation to recognize a right-of-use ("ROU") asset for operating leases where the Corporation is the lessee. As of June 30, 2019, the ROU asset was $104.0 million. The remaining increase in other assets resulted from net changes in the fair values of commercial loan interest rate swaps. See Note 6, "Leases," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The increase in total borrowings provided additional funding to support growth in investment securities and loans and leases in excess of deposit growth.
Other Liabilities
Other liabilities increased $123.8 million, or 39.8%, primarily as a result of the implementation of ASC Update 2016-02, which required the Corporation to recognize a lease liability, which was $111.0 million at June 30, 2019, for operating leases where the Corporation is the lessee. See also Note 6, "Leases," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Shareholders' Equity
Total shareholders’ equity increased $61.2 million during the first six months of 2019. The increase was due primarily to $116.4 million of net income, a $46.9 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, mainly due to improvements in fair values of available for sale securities, $3.3 million of stock-based compensation awards, and $1.7 million of stock issued, partially offset by $63.4 million of common stock repurchases and $43.7 million of common stock cash dividends.
In November 2018, the Corporation's board of directors approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Corporation was authorized to repurchase up to $75.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock, or approximately 2.7% of its outstanding shares, through December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, the Corporation had repurchased approximately 4.5 million shares under this program for a total cost of $69.6 million, or $15.51 per share. During the second quarter of 2019, the Corporation repurchased 330,178 additional shares under this program for a total cost of approximately $5.5 million, or $16.51 per share, completing this program.
In March 2019, the Corporation's board of directors approved an additional share repurchase program pursuant to which the Corporation is authorized to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock, or approximately 3.5% of its outstanding shares, through December 31, 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, the Corporation repurchased approximately 3.1 million shares under this program for a total cost of approximately $52.0 million, or $16.67 per share. Up to an additional $48.0 million of the Corporation's common stock may be repurchased under this program through December 31, 2019.
Total commissions and fees paid on stock repurchases during the first six months of 2019 were $76,500. Under the repurchase programs, repurchased shares were added to treasury stock, at cost. As permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements,
65
and subject to market conditions and other factors, purchases may be made from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, including, without limitation, through accelerated share repurchase transactions.
Regulatory Capital
The Corporation and its subsidiary banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by various banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could result in certain actions by regulators that could have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements. In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board approved final rules (the "U.S. Basel III Capital Rules") establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations and implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's December 2010 framework for strengthening international capital standards. The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and depository institutions.
The minimum regulatory capital requirements established by the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2015, and were fully phased in on January 1, 2019.
The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules require the Corporation and its bank subsidiaries to:
• | Meet a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.50% of risk-weighted assets and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.00% of risk-weighted assets; |
• | Continue to require a minimum Total capital ratio of 8.00% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.00% of average assets; and |
• | Comply with a revised definition of capital to improve the ability of regulatory capital instruments to absorb losses. Certain non-qualifying capital instruments, including cumulative preferred stock and trust preferred securities ("TruPS"), have been phased out as a component of Tier 1 capital for institutions of the Corporation's size. |
As of January 1, 2019, the Corporation and its bank subsidiaries are also required to maintain a "capital conservation buffer" of 2.50% above the minimum risk-based capital requirements, which must be maintained to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments.
The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules use a standardized approach for risk weightings that expands the risk-weightings for assets and off-balance sheet exposures from the previous 0%, 20%, 50% and 100% categories to a much larger and more risk-sensitive number of categories, depending on the nature of the assets and off-balance sheet exposures and resulting in higher risk weightings for a variety of asset categories.
As of June 30, 2019, the Corporation's capital levels met the fully phased-in minimum capital requirements, including the new capital conservation buffers, as prescribed in the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules.
As of June 30, 2019, each of the Corporation’s subsidiary banks was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action based on their capital ratio calculations. To be categorized as well capitalized, these banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, Common Equity Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the regulation. There are no conditions or events since June 30, 2019 that management believes have changed the institutions’ capital categories.
The following table summarizes the Corporation’s capital ratios in comparison to regulatory requirements:
June 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | Regulatory Minimum for Capital Adequacy | Fully Phased-in, with Capital Conservation Buffers | ||||||||
Total Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) | 12.4 | % | 12.8 | % | 8.0 | % | 10.5 | % | |||
Tier I Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) | 10.0 | % | 10.2 | % | 6.0 | % | 8.5 | % | |||
Common Equity Tier I (to Risk-Weighted Assets) | 10.0 | % | 10.2 | % | 4.5 | % | 7.0 | % | |||
Tier I Capital (to Average Assets) | 8.7 | % | 9.0 | % | 4.0 | % | 4.0 | % |
The decreases in regulatory capital ratios from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019 were mainly due to share repurchases.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to economic loss that arises from changes in the values of certain financial instruments. The types of market risk exposures generally faced by financial institutions include interest rate risk, equity market price risk, debt security market price risk, foreign currency price risk and commodity price risk. Due to the nature of its operations, foreign currency price risk and commodity price risk are not significant to the Corporation.
Interest Rate Risk, Asset/Liability Management and Liquidity
Interest rate risk creates exposure in two primary areas. First, changes in rates have an impact on the Corporation’s liquidity position and could affect its ability to meet obligations and continue to grow. Second, movements in interest rates can create fluctuations in the Corporation’s net interest income and changes in the economic value of its equity.
The Corporation employs various management techniques to minimize its exposure to interest rate risk. An Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity and liquidity positions of the Corporation, approving asset and liability management policies, and overseeing the formulation and implementation of strategies regarding balance sheet positions.
The Corporation uses two complementary methods to measure and manage interest rate risk. They are simulation of net interest income and estimates of economic value of equity. Using these measurements in tandem provides a reasonably comprehensive summary of the magnitude of the Corporation's interest rate risk, level of risk as time evolves, and exposure to changes in interest rates.
Simulation of net interest income is performed for the next 12-month period. A variety of interest rate scenarios are used to measure the effects of sudden and gradual movements upward and downward in the yield curve. These results are compared to the results obtained in a flat or unchanged interest rate scenario. Simulation of net interest income is used primarily to measure the Corporation’s short-term earnings exposure to rate movements. The Corporation’s policy limits the potential exposure of net interest income, in a non-parallel instantaneous shock, to 10% of the base case net interest income for a 100 basis point shock in interest rates, 15% for a 200 basis point shock and 20% for a 300 basis point shock. A "shock" is an immediate upward or downward movement of interest rates. The shocks do not take into account changes in customer behavior that could result in changes to mix and/or volumes in the balance sheet, nor does it take into account the potential effects of competition on the pricing of deposits and loans over the forward 12-month period.
Contractual maturities and repricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the simulation model as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data and call options within the investment portfolio. Assumptions based on past experience are incorporated into the model for non-maturity deposit accounts. The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and, as a result, 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 will differ from the model's simulated results due to timing, amount and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies.
The following table summarizes the expected impact of abrupt interest rate changes, i.e. a non-parallel instantaneous shock, on net interest income as of June 30, 2019 (due to the current level of interest rates, the 300 basis point downward shock scenario is not shown):
Rate Shock(1) | Annual change in net interest income | % change in net interest income | |
+300 bp | + $62.6 million | 9.3% | |
+200 bp | + $43.3 million | 6.4% | |
+100 bp | + $22.3 million | 3.3% | |
–100 bp | – $35.9 million | – 5.3% | |
–200 bp | – $78.7 million | – 11.7% |
(1) | These results include the effect of implicit and explicit interest rate floors that limit further reduction in interest rates. |
Economic value of equity estimates the discounted present value of asset and liability cash flows. Discount rates are based upon market prices for like assets and liabilities. Abrupt changes or "shocks" in interest rates, both upward and downward, are used to determine the comparative effect of such interest rate movements relative to the unchanged environment. This measurement tool is used primarily to evaluate the longer-term repricing risks and options in the Corporation’s balance sheet. The Corporation's
67
policy limits the economic value of equity that may be at risk, in a non-parallel instantaneous shock, to 10% of the base case economic value of equity for a 100 basis point shock in interest rates, 20% for a 200 basis point shock and 30% for a 300 basis point shock. As of June 30, 2019, the Corporation was within economic value of equity policy limits for every 100 basis point shock.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Corporation enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Corporation simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate. These interest rate swaps are derivative financial instruments and the gross fair values are recorded in other assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value during the period recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.
Liquidity
The Corporation must maintain a sufficient level of liquid assets to meet the cash needs of its customers, who, as depositors, may want to withdraw funds or who, as borrowers, need credit availability. Liquidity is provided on a continuous basis through scheduled and unscheduled principal and interest payments on investments and outstanding loans and through the availability of deposits and borrowings. The Corporation also maintains secondary sources that provide liquidity on a secured and unsecured basis to meet short-term and long-term needs.
The Corporation maintains liquidity sources in the form of demand and savings deposits, brokered deposits, time deposits, repurchase agreements and short-term promissory notes. The Corporation can access additional liquidity from these sources, if necessary, by increasing the rates of interest paid on those accounts and borrowings. The positive impact to liquidity resulting from paying higher interest rates could have a detrimental impact on the net interest margin and net interest income if rates on interest-earning assets do not experience a proportionate increase. Borrowing availability with the FHLB and the FRB, along with federal funds lines at various correspondent banks, provides the Corporation with additional liquidity.
Each of the Corporation’s subsidiary banks is a member of the FHLB and has access to FHLB overnight and term credit facilities. As of June 30, 2019, the Corporation had $1.2 billion of borrowings outstanding from the FHLB with an additional borrowing capacity of approximately $2.3 billion under these facilities. Advances from the FHLB are secured by qualifying commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans, investments and other assets.
As of June 30, 2019, the Corporation had aggregate federal funds lines of $1.5 billion, with $200.0 million borrowed against that amount. A combination of commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and securities are pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to provide access to Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window borrowings. As of June 30, 2019, the Corporation had $312 million of collateralized borrowing availability at the Discount Window, and no outstanding borrowings.
Liquidity must also be managed at the Corporation parent company level. For safety and soundness reasons, banking regulations limit the amount of cash that can be transferred from subsidiary banks to the parent company in the form of loans and dividends. Generally, these limitations are based on the subsidiary banks’ regulatory capital levels and their net income. Management continues to monitor the liquidity and capital needs of the parent company and will implement appropriate strategies, as necessary, to remain sufficiently capitalized and to meet its cash needs.
The Corporation’s sources and uses of funds were discussed in general terms in the "Net Interest Income" section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The consolidated statements of cash flows provide additional information. The Corporation’s operating activities during the first six months of 2019 generated $78.8 million of cash, mainly due to net income. Cash used in investing activities was $362.5 million, mainly due to net increases in investments and loans. Net cash provided by financing activities was $336.8 million due mainly to increases in short-term borrowings, time deposits and long-term debt, partially offset by decreases in demand and savings deposits.
Debt Security Market Price Risk
Debt security market price risk is the risk that changes in the values of debt securities, unrelated to interest rate changes, could have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation. The Corporation’s debt security investments consist primarily of U.S. government sponsored agency issued mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, state and municipal securities, U.S. government debt securities, auction rate securities and corporate debt securities.
68
All of the Corporation's investments in mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations have principal payments that are guaranteed by U.S. government sponsored agencies.
State and Municipal Securities
As of June 30, 2019, the Corporation owned state and municipal securities issued by various states or municipalities with a total cost basis of $463.8 million and a fair value of $480.9 million, which includes both available for sale and held to maturity securities. Downward pressure on local tax revenues of issuers could have an adverse impact on the underlying credit quality of issuers. The Corporation evaluates existing and potential holdings primarily based on the creditworthiness of the issuing state or municipality and then, to a lesser extent, on any underlying credit enhancement. State or municipal securities can be supported by the general obligation of the issuing state or municipality, allowing the securities to be repaid by any means available to the issuing state or municipality. As of June 30, 2019, approximately 98% of state and municipal securities were supported by the general obligation of corresponding states or municipalities. Approximately 67% of these securities were school district issuances, which are also supported by the states of the issuing municipalities.
Auction Rate Securities
As of June 30, 2019, the Corporation’s investments in auction rate certificates ("ARCs"), a type of auction rate security, had a cost basis of $107.4 million and a fair value of $103.4 million.
As of June 30, 2019, the fair values of the ARCs currently in the portfolio were derived using significant unobservable inputs based on an expected cash flows model which produced fair values that may not represent those that could be expected from settlement of these investments in the current market. The expected cash flows model produced fair values which assumed a return to market liquidity sometime within the next five years. The Corporation believes that the trusts underlying the ARCs will self-liquidate as student loans are repaid.
The credit quality of the underlying debt associated with the ARCs is also a factor in the determination of their estimated fair value. As of June 30, 2019, all of the ARCs were rated above investment grade. All of the loans underlying the ARCs have principal payments that are guaranteed by the federal government. At June 30, 2019, all ARCs were current and making scheduled interest payments.
Corporate Debt Securities
The Corporation holds corporate debt securities in the form of single-issuer trust preferred securities, subordinated debt and senior debt issued by financial institutions. As of June 30, 2019, these securities had an amortized cost of $194.9 million and an estimated fair value of $197.4 million.
See "Note 3 - Investment Securities," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion related to the Corporation’s other-than-temporary impairment evaluations for debt securities, and see "Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion related to the fair values of debt securities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Corporation reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
