ATLANTIC UNION BANKSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company

Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation (Nasdaq: AUB) is the holding company for Atlantic Union Bank. Atlantic Union Bank has 114 branches and approximately 130 ATMs located throughout Virginia, and in portions of Maryland and North Carolina as of September 30, 2022. Certain non-bank financial services affiliates of Atlantic Union Bank include: Atlantic Union Equipment Finance, Inc., which provides equipment financing; Atlantic Union Financial Consultants, LLC, which provides brokerage services; and Union Insurance Group, LLC, which offers various lines of insurance products.

Effective June 30, 2022, the Company completed the sale of DHFB, which was formerly a subsidiary of the Bank.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and follow general practice within the banking industry. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements; however, in the opinion of management all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other period.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued Topic 848. This guidance provides temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform associated with the LIBOR transition. LIBOR and other interbank offered rates

are widely used benchmark or reference rates that have been used in the valuation of loans, derivatives, and other financial

contracts. Topic 848 provides optional expedients and exceptions, subject to meeting certain criteria, for applying current

GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, for contracts that reference LIBOR or other reference rates

expected to be discontinued. Topic 848 is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate

transition period. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and can be adopted at an

instrument level. As of March 31, 2021, the Company utilized the expedient to assert probability of the hedged interest,

regardless of any expected modification in terms related to reference rate reform for the newly executed cash flow hedges.

The Company expects to incorporate other components of Topic 848 at a later date. This amendment does not have a material

impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company defines cash and cash equivalents as cash, cash due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, short-term money market investments, other interest-bearing deposits, and federal funds sold.

Restricted cash is disclosed in Note 7 “Commitments and Contingencies” in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report and is comprised of cash maintained at various correspondent banks as collateral for the Company’s derivative portfolio and is included in interest-bearing deposits in other banks in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company is required to maintain reserve balances with the FRB based on the type and amount of deposits; however, on March 15, 2020 the Federal Reserve announced that reserve requirement ratios would be reduced to zero percent effective March 26, 2020 due to economic conditions, which eliminated the reserve requirement for all depository institutions. The reserve requirement is still at zero percent as of September 30, 2022.

Accrued Interest Receivable

The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis in its determination of the ALLL, as well as the ACL reserve for securities. Accrued interest receivable totaled $48.1 million and $43.3 million on LHFI, $6.6 million and $7.0 million on HTM securities, and $13.3 million and $14.5 million on AFS securities at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is included in “Other assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The

-9-

Table of Contents

Company’s policy is to write off accrued interest receivable through reversal of interest income when it becomes probable the Company will not be able to collect the accrued interest. For the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, accrued interest receivable write offs were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are components of a business where separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the CODMs in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires information to be reported about a company’s operating segments using a “management approach,” meaning it is based on the way management organizes segments internally to make operating decisions and assess performance. Based on this guidance, historically, the Company has had only one reportable operating segment, the Bank. However, effective for the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed system conversions that allow its CODMs to evaluate the business, establish the overall business strategy, allocate resources, and assess business performance within two reportable operating segments: Wholesale Banking and Consumer Banking, with corporate support functions such as corporate treasury and others included in Corporate Other. The application and development of management reporting methodologies is a dynamic process subject to periodic enhancements. As these enhancements are made, financial results presented by each reportable segment may be periodically revised.  Refer to Note 12 "Segment Reporting and Revenue" in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report for additional details on the Company’s reportable operating segments.

(2) Comprised of 302 and 33 individual securities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively

The Company has evaluated AFS securities in an unrealized loss position for credit related impairment at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and concluded no impairment existed based on several factors which included: (1) the majority of these securities are of high credit quality, (2) unrealized losses are primarily the result of market volatility and increases in market interest rates, (3) the contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuer(s) to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of each investment, (4) issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and (5) the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments and the accounting standard of “more likely than not” has not been met for the Company to be required to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis.

Additionally, the majority of the Company’s MBS are issued by FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA and do not have credit risk given the implicit and explicit government guarantees associated with these agencies. In addition, the non-agency mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities generally received a 20% SSFA rating.

The Company reports HTM securities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value. Carrying value is amortized cost, which includes any unamortized unrealized gains and losses recognized in AOCI prior to reclassifying the securities from AFS securities to HTM securities. Investment securities transferred into the HTM category from the AFS category are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer. The unrealized holding gains or losses at the date of transfer are retained in AOCI and in the carrying value of the HTM securities. Such unrealized gains or losses are accreted over the remaining life of the security with no impact on future net income.

The carrying value, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair values of HTM securities as of September 30, 2022 are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

Credit Quality Indicators & Allowance for Credit Losses - HTM

For HTM securities, the Company evaluates the credit risk of its securities on at least a quarterly basis. The Company estimates expected credit losses on HTM debt securities on an individual basis based on the PD/LGD methodology primarily using security-level credit ratings. The Company’s HTM securities ACL was immaterial at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s HTM portfolio are security type and credit rating, which is influenced by a number of factors including obligor cash flow, geography, seniority, and others. The majority of the Company’s HTM securities with credit risk are obligations of states and political subdivisions.

The following table presents the amortized cost of HTM securities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by security type and credit rating (dollars in thousands):

Troubled Debt Restructurings

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had TDRs totaling $15.6 million with an estimated $569,000 of allowance for those loans. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had TDRs totaling $18.0 million with an estimated $859,000 of allowance for those loans.

A TDR occurs when a lender, for economic or legal reasons, grants a concession to the borrower related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, that it would not otherwise consider. All loans that are considered to be TDRs are evaluated for credit losses in accordance with the Company’s ALLL methodology. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the recorded investment in TDRs prior to modifications was not materially impacted by the modifications.

The following table provides a summary, by class, of TDRs that continue to accrue interest under the terms of the applicable restructuring agreement, which are considered to be performing, and TDRs that have been placed on nonaccrual status, which are considered to be nonperforming, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

ALLL on the loan portfolio is a material estimate for the Company. The Company estimates its ALLL on its loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. The Company models the ALLL using two primary segments, Commercial and Consumer. Each loan segment is further disaggregated into classes based on similar risk characteristics. The Company has identified the following classes within each loan segment:

Commercial: Construction and Land Development, Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied, Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied, Multifamily Real Estate, Commercial & Industrial, Residential 1-4 Family – Commercial, and Other Commercial
Consumer: Residential 1-4 Family – Consumer, Residential 1-4 Family – Revolving, Auto, and Consumer

The following tables show the ALLL activity by loan segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (dollars in thousands):

Credit Quality Indicators

Credit quality indicators are utilized to help estimate the collectability of each loan class within the Commercial and Consumer loan segments. For classes of loans within the Commercial segment, the primary credit quality indicator used for evaluating credit quality and estimating the ALLL is risk rating categories of Pass, Watch, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful.  For classes of loans within the Consumer segment, the primary credit quality indicator used for evaluating credit quality and estimating the ALLL is delinquency bands of Current, 30-59, 60-89, 90+, and Nonaccrual.  While other credit quality indicators are evaluated and analyzed as part of the Company’s credit risk management activities, these indicators are primarily used in estimating the ALLL. The Company evaluates the credit risk of its loan portfolio on at least a quarterly basis.

Commercial Loans

The Company uses a risk rating system as the primary credit quality indicator for classes of loans within the Commercial segment. The risk rating system on a scale of 0 through 9 is used to determine risk level as used in the calculation of the ACL. The risk levels, as described below, do not necessarily follow the regulatory definitions of risk levels with the same name. A general description of the characteristics of the risk levels follows:

Pass is determined by the following criteria:

Risk rated 0 loans have little or no risk and are with General Obligation Municipal Borrowers;
Risk rated 1 loans have little or no risk and are generally secured by cash or cash equivalents;
Risk rated 2 loans have minimal risk to well qualified borrowers and no significant questions as to safety;
Risk rated 3 loans are satisfactory loans with strong borrowers and secondary sources of repayment;
Risk rated 4 loans are satisfactory loans with borrowers not as strong as risk rated 3 loans and may exhibit a greater degree of financial risk based on the type of business supporting the loan.

Watch is determined by the following criteria:

Risk rated 5 loans are watch loans that warrant more than the normal level of supervision and have the possibility of an event occurring that may weaken the borrower’s ability to repay.

Special Mention is determined by the following criteria:

Risk rated 6 loans have increasing potential weaknesses beyond those at which the loan originally was granted and if not addressed could lead to inadequately protecting the Company’s credit position.

Substandard is determined by the following criteria:

Risk rated 7 loans are substandard loans and are inadequately protected by the current sound worth or paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged; these have well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt with the distinct possibility the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful is determined by the following criteria:

Risk rated 8 loans are doubtful of collection and the possibility of loss is high but pending specific borrower plans for recovery, its classification as a loss is deferred until its more exact status is determined;
Risk rated 9 loans are loss loans which are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.

4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company’s intangible assets consist of core deposits, goodwill, and other intangibles arising from acquisitions. The Company has determined that core deposit intangibles have finite lives and amortizes them over their estimated useful lives. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 4 to 10 years, using an accelerated method. Other amortizable intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 4 to 10 years, using various methods. In the normal course of business, the Company routinely monitors the impact of the changes in the financial markets and includes these assessments in the Company’s impairment process. The Company concluded there was no impairment to the Company’s goodwill or intangible assets as of the balance sheet date.

Effective June 30, 2022, the Company, the Bank, and CSP completed the sale of DHFB, which was formerly a subsidiary of the Bank, resulting in a reduction in both the Company’s goodwill of $10.3 million and intangible assets of $5.7 million.

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company moved from one reportable operating segment, the Bank, to two reportable operating segments, Wholesale Banking and Consumer Banking, which resulted in goodwill being allocated between the two reportable operating segments based on their relative fair values. The Company determined that there was no impairment to the Bank’s goodwill prior to reallocating goodwill.

The following table presents the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets by operating segment as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

5. LEASES

The Company enters into both lessor and lessee arrangements and determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. As both a lessee and lessor, the Company elected the practical expedient permitted under the transition guidance within the standard to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes.

Lessor Arrangements

The Company’s lessor arrangements consist of sales-type and direct financing leases for equipment. Lease payment terms are fixed and are typically payable in monthly installments with terms ranging from 14 months to 125 months. The lease arrangements may contain renewal options and purchase options that allow the lessee to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term. The leases generally do not contain non-lease components.

At lease inception the Company estimates the expected residual value of the leased property at the end of the lease term by considering both internal and third-party appraisals. In certain cases, the Company obtains lessee-provided residual value guarantees and third-party RVI to reduce its residual asset risk. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of residual assets covered by residual value guarantees and RVI was $36.7 million and $23.0 million, respectively.

The net investment in sales-type and direct financing leases consists of the carrying amount of the lease receivables plus unguaranteed residual assets, net of unearned income and any deferred selling profit on direct financing leases. The lease receivables include the lessor’s right to receive lease payments and the guaranteed residual asset value the lessor expects to derive from the underlying assets at the end of the lease term. The Company’s net investment in sales-type and direct financing leases are included in “Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and costs” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease income is recorded in “Interest and fees on loans” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

Total net investment in sales-type and direct financing leases consists of the following (dollars in thousands):

Lessee Arrangements

The Company’s lessee arrangements consist of operating and finance leases; however, the majority of the leases have been classified as non-cancellable operating leases and are primarily for real estate leases with remaining lease terms of up to 23 years. The Company’s real estate lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees and most agreements do not contain restrictive covenants. The Company does not have any material arrangements where the Company is in a sublease contract.

Lessee arrangements with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The ROU assets and lease liabilities associated with operating and finance leases greater than 12 months are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets; ROU assets within “Other assets” and lease liabilities within “Other liabilities.” ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset over the course of the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The initial measurement of lease liabilities and ROU assets are the same for operating and finance leases. Lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU assets are recognized at commencement date based on the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made excluding lease incentives, and any initial direct costs incurred. Most of the Company’s operating leases include one or more options to renew and if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise those options, it would be included in the measurement of the operating ROU assets and lease liabilities.

-28-

Table of Contents

Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recorded in “Occupancy expenses” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Finance lease expenses consist of straight-line amortization expense of the ROU Assets recognized over the lease term and interest expense on the lease liability. Total finance lease expenses for the amortization of the ROU assets are recorded in “Occupancy expenses” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and interest expense on the finance lease liability is recorded in “Interest on long-term borrowings” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

6. BORROWINGS

Short-term Borrowings

The Company classifies all borrowings that will mature within a year from the date on which the Company enters into them as short-term borrowings. Total short-term borrowings consist primarily of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are secured transactions with customers and generally mature the day following the date sold, advances from the FHLB, federal funds purchased (which are secured overnight borrowings from other financial institutions), and other lines of credit.

Total short-term borrowings consist of the following as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

The Bank maintains federal funds lines with several correspondent banks, the available balance was $1.0 billion and $997.0 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively. The Company maintains an alternate line of credit at a correspondent bank; the available balance was $25.0 million at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company has certain restrictive covenants related to certain asset quality, capital, and profitability metrics associated with these lines and is in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Additionally, the Company had a collateral dependent line of credit with the FHLB of up to $5.9 billion and $6.0 billion at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively.

Long-term Borrowings

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company issued the 2031 Notes. The 2031 Notes were sold at par resulting in net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses, of approximately $246.9 million. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2031 Notes issuance to repay its outstanding $150 million of 5.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes that were due in 2026.

In connection with several previous bank acquisitions, the Company issued $58.5 million and acquired $92.0 million of trust preferred capital notes. The remaining fair value discount on all acquired trust preferred capital notes was $12.7 million and $13.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation Matters

In the ordinary course of its operations, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings. The amount, if any, of the ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined. Despite the uncertainties of such litigation and investigations, and based on the information presently available, and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome in such proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company, subject to the potential outcomes of disclosed matters. There have been no material changes with respect to the Company’s previously disclosed proceedings.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company considers credit losses related to off-balance sheet commitments by undergoing a similar process in evaluating losses for loans that are carried on the balance sheet. The Company considers historical loss and funding information, current and future economic conditions, risk ratings, and past due status among other factors in the consideration of expected credit losses in the Company’s off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit. The Company also records an indemnification reserve based on historical statistics and loss rates related to mortgage loans previously sold. At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s RUC and indemnification reserve totaled $11.4 million and $8.4 million, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of customers to third parties. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

The following table presents the balances of commitments and contingencies as of the following dates (dollars in thousands):

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $287.5 million in deposits in other financial institutions of which $237.5 million served as collateral for cash flow and loan swap derivatives. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $187.4 million in deposits in other financial institutions of which $82.3 million served as collateral for the Company’s derivative interest rate contracts. The Company had approximately $46.4 million and $102.0 million in deposits in other financial institutions that were uninsured at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. At least annually, the Company’s management evaluates the loss risk of its uninsured deposits in financial counterparties.

For asset/liability management purposes, the Company uses interest rate contracts to hedge various exposures or to modify the interest rate characteristics of various balance sheet accounts. For the OTC derivatives cleared with the central clearinghouses,

8. DERIVATIVES

The Company is exposed to economic risks arising from its business operations and uses derivatives primarily to manage risk associated with changing interest rates, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship (cash flow or fair value hedge). The remaining are classified as free-standing derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting and consist of interest rate contracts, which include loan swaps and interest rate cap agreements, as well as interest rate lock commitments.

Derivatives Counterparty Credit Risk

Derivative instruments contain an element of credit risk that arises from the potential failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of the contract. The Company’s exposure to derivative counterparty credit risk, at any point in time, is equal to the amount reported as a derivative asset on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, assuming no recoveries of underlying collateral. The Company clears certain OTC derivatives with central clearinghouses through FCMs due to applicable regulatory requirements, which reduces the Company’s counterparty risk.

The Company also enters into legally enforceable master netting agreements and collateral agreements, where possible, with certain derivative counterparties to mitigate the risk of default on a bilateral basis. These bilateral agreements typically provide the right to offset exposures and require one counterparty to post collateral on derivative instruments in a net liability position to the other counterparty. For the OTC derivatives cleared with central clearinghouses, the variation margin is treated as settlement of the related derivatives fair values.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company designates derivatives as cash flow hedges when they are used to manage exposure to variability in cash flows related to forecasted transactions on variable rate financial instruments. The Company uses interest rate swap agreements as part of its hedging strategy by exchanging a notional amount, equal to the principal amount of the borrowings or commercial loans, for fixed-rate interest based on benchmarked interest rates. The original terms and conditions of the interest rate swaps vary and range in length. Amounts receivable or payable are recognized as accrued under the terms of the agreements.

All swaps were entered into with counterparties that met the Company’s credit standards, and the agreements contain collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. The Company concluded that the credit risk inherent in the contract is not significant.

For derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, ineffectiveness is not measured or separately disclosed. Rather, as long as the hedging relationship continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in OCI and recognized in earnings as the hedged transaction affects earnings. Derivative amounts affecting earnings are recognized consistent with the classification of the hedged item.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had interest rate swaps designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges of the Company’s forecasted variable interest receipts on variable rate loans due to changes in the interest rate with a notional amount of $800 million and $500 million, respectively. For each agreement, the Company receives interest at a fixed rate and pays at a variable rate. 

Fair Value Hedges

Derivatives are designated as fair value hedges when they are used to manage exposure to changes in the fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, referred to as the hedged items, which fluctuate in value as a result of movements in interest rates.

Loans: During the normal course of business, the Company enters into swap agreements to convert certain long-term fixed-rate loans to floating rates to hedge the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk. The Company pays a fixed interest rate to the counterparty and receives a floating rate from the same counterparty calculated on the aggregate notional amount. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate notional amount of the related hedged items for certain long-term fixed rate loans totaled $84.8 million and $88.6 million, respectively, and the fair value of the swaps associated with the derivative related to hedged items was an unrealized gain of $11.2 million and an unrealized loss of $620,000, respectively.

-35-

Table of Contents

AFS Securities: The Company has entered into a swap agreement to hedge the interest rate risk on a portion of its fixed rate AFS securities. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate notional amount of the related hedged items of the AFS securities totaled $50.0 million and the fair value of the swaps associated with the derivative related to hedged items was an unrealized gain of $2.1 million and an unrealized loss of $4.1 million, respectively.

The Company applies hedge accounting in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and the fair value hedge and the underlying hedged item, attributable to the risk being hedged, are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses being recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows on the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows on the designated hedged item or transactions for the risk being hedged. If a hedging relationship ceases to qualify for hedge accounting, the relationship is discontinued and future changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in current period earnings. For a discontinued or terminated fair value hedging relationship, all remaining basis adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged item are amortized to interest income or expense over the remaining life of the hedged item consistent with the amortization of other discounts or premiums. Previous balances deferred in AOCI from discontinued or terminated cash flow hedges are reclassified to interest income or expense as the hedged transactions affect earnings or over the originally specified term of the hedging relationship. The Company’s hedges continue to be highly effective and had no material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Interest Rate Contracts

During the normal course of business, the Company enters into interest rate contracts with borrowers to help meet their financing needs. Upon entering into interest rate contracts, the Company enters into offsetting positions with a third party in order to minimize interest rate risk. These interest rate contracts qualify as financial derivatives with fair values as reported in “Other assets” and “Other liabilities” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

RPAs: The Company enters into RPAs where it may either sell or assume credit risk related to a borrower’s performance under certain non-hedging interest rate derivative contracts on participated loans. The Company manages its credit risk under RPAs by monitoring the creditworthiness of the borrowers based on the Company’s normal credit review process. RPAs are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in “Other operating income” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows ASC 820 to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants.

ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 based on these two types of inputs are as follows:

Level 1  Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2  Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the markets.

Level 3  Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market. These unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about what market participants would use and information that is reasonably available under the circumstances without undue cost and effort.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.

Derivative Instruments

As discussed in Note 8 “Derivatives” in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report, the Company records derivative instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company utilizes derivative instruments as part of the management of interest rate risk to modify the re-pricing characteristics of certain portions of the Company’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities, as well as to manage the Company’s exposure to credit risk related to borrower's performance under interest rate derivatives. The Company has contracted with a third-party vendor to provide valuations for derivatives using standard valuation techniques and therefore classifies such valuations as Level 2. Third party valuations are validated by the Company using BVAL derivative pricing functions. No material differences were identified during the validation as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company has considered counterparty credit risk in the valuation of its derivative assets and has considered its own credit risk in the valuation of its derivative liabilities. Mortgage banking derivatives as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

AFS Securities

AFS securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). If the inputs used to provide the evaluation for certain securities are unobservable and/or there is little, if any, market activity, then the security would fall to the lowest level of the hierarchy (Level 3).

The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily valued using fair value measurements that are considered to be Level 2. The Company has contracted with a third-party portfolio accounting service vendor for valuation of its securities portfolio. The vendor’s primary source for security valuation is ICE, which evaluates securities based on market data. ICE utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information. Generally, the methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs.

-40-

Table of Contents

The vendor utilizes proprietary valuation matrices for valuing all municipals securities. The initial curves for determining the price, movement, and yield relationships within the municipal matrices are derived from industry benchmark curves or sourced from a municipal trading desk. The securities are further broken down according to issuer, credit support, state of issuance, and rating to incorporate additional spreads to the industry benchmark curves.

The Company primarily uses BVAL, an independent information source that draws on quantitative models and market data contributed from over 4,000 market participants, to validate third party valuations. Any material differences between valuation sources are researched by further analyzing the various inputs that are utilized by each pricing source. No material differences were identified during the validation as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The carrying value of restricted FRB and FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of each entity and is therefore excluded from the table below.

Loans Held for Sale

Residential loans originated for sale in the open market are carried at fair value. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded in current period earnings as a component of "Mortgage banking income" on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets after they are evaluated for impairment. The primary assets accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are related to foreclosed properties, former bank premises, and collateral-dependent loans that are individually assessed. When the asset is secured by real estate, the Company measures the fair value utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data. Management may discount the value from the appraisal in determining the fair value if, based on its understanding of the market conditions, the collateral had been impaired below the appraised value (Level 3). The assets for which a nonrecurring fair value measurement was recorded were $6.2 million and $11.3 million during the periods ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively. The nonrecurring valuation adjustments for these assets did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments for interim periods and excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

HTM Securities

The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily valued using fair value measurements that are considered to be Level 2. The Company has contracted with a third-party portfolio accounting service vendor for valuation of its securities portfolio. The vendor’s primary source for security valuation is ICE, which evaluates securities based on market data. ICE utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information. Generally, the methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs.

Any material differences between valuation sources are researched by further analyzing the various inputs that are utilized by each pricing source. No material differences were identified during the validation as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company’s Level 3 securities are a result of the Access acquisition and are comprised of asset-backed securities and municipal bonds. Valuations of the asset-backed securities are provided by a third party vendor specializing in the SBA markets, and are based on underlying loan pool information, market data, and recent trading activity for similar securities. Valuations of the municipal bonds are provided by a third party vendor that specializes in hard-to-value securities, and are based on a discounted cash flow model and considerations for the complexity of the instrument, likelihood it will be called and credit ratings. The Company reviews the valuation of both security types for reasonableness in the context of market conditions and to similar bonds in the Company’s portfolio. Any material differences between valuation sources are researched by further analyzing the various inputs that are utilized by each pricing source. No material differences were identified during the validation as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Loans and Leases

The fair value of loans and leases were estimated using an exit price, representing the amount that would be expected to be received if the Company sold the loans and leases. The fair value of performing loans and leases were estimated through use of discounted cash flows.  Credit loss assumptions were based on market PD/LGD for loan and lease cohorts.  The discount rate was based primarily on recent market origination rates. Fair value of loans and leases individually assessed and their respective levels within the fair value hierarchy are described in the previous section related to fair value measurements of assets that are measured on a nonrecurring basis.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The carrying value of BOLI approximates fair value. The Company records these policies at their cash surrender value, which is estimated using information provided by insurance carriers.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposits were valued using a discounted cash flow calculation that includes a market rate analysis of the current rates offered by market participants for certificates of deposits that mature in the same period.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Table of Contents

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when market interest rates change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management seeks to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. Borrowers with fixed rate obligations, however, are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and seeks to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that are intended to mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding attributable to stock awards.

The following table presents basic and diluted EPS calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (dollars in thousands except per share data):

12. SEGMENT REPORTING AND REVENUE

Operating Segments

Historically, the Company has had only one reportable operating segment, the Bank. In the third quarter of 2022, however, the Company completed system conversions that allow its CODMs to evaluate the business, establish the overall business strategy, allocate resources, and assess business performance within two reportable operating segments—Wholesale Banking and Consumer Banking—while corporate support functions such as corporate treasury and others will be included in Corporate Other.

The Company’s operating segments now include the following:

Wholesale Banking: The Wholesale Banking segment provides loan and deposit services, as well as treasury management and capital market services to wholesale customers primarily throughout Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina. These customers include commercial real estate and commercial and industrial customers. This segment also includes the Company’s public finance subsidiary and the equipment finance subsidiary, which has nationwide exposure.
Consumer Banking: The Consumer Banking segment provides loan and deposit services to consumers and small businesses throughout Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina. Consumer Banking includes the home loan division and the wealth management division, which consists of private banking, trust, investment management, and advisory services.
Corporate Other: Corporate Other includes the Company’s Corporate Treasury functions, such as management of the investment securities portfolio, long-term debt, short-term liquidity and funding activities, balance sheet risk management, and other corporate support functions, as well as intercompany eliminations.

Prior year information presented has been restated and is shown under the new basis with two reportable operating segments. Goodwill was evaluated for impairment prior to re-allocating to the new reportable operating segments based on relative fair value.

Segment Reporting Methodology

The Company’s segment reporting is based on a “management approach” as described in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report. Inter-segment transactions are recorded at cost and eliminated as part of the consolidation process. A management fee for operations and administrative support services is charged to all subsidiaries and eliminated in the consolidated totals.

The following is additional information on the methodologies used in preparing the operating segment results:

Net interest income: Interest income from loans held for investment and interest expense from deposits are reflected within respective operating segments. The Company uses a funds transfer pricing methodology which utilizes the matched funding approach to allocate a cost of funds used or credit for funds provided to all operating segment loans and deposits.
Provision for credit losses: Provision for credit losses is assigned to operating segments based on the Company’s allowance methodology, driven by loan pool level information.
Noninterest income: Noninterest fees and other revenue associated with loans or customers are included within each operating segment.
Noninterest expense: Certain noninterest expenses incurred by corporate support functions are allocated based on assumptions regarding the extent to which each operating segment actually uses the services.
Goodwill: Goodwill is assigned to reportable operating segments based on the relative fair value of each segment.

Revenue

The majority of the Company’s noninterest income is being accounted for in accordance with Topic 606 and comes from short term contracts associated with fees for services provided on deposit accounts and credit cards from the Consumer and Wholesale Banking segments, as well as fiduciary and asset management fees from the Consumer Banking segment. Typically, the duration of a contract does not extend beyond the services performed; therefore, the Company concluded that discussion regarding contract balances is immaterial.

The Company’s performance obligations on revenue from deposit accounts and interchange fees from the Consumer and Wholesale Banking segments are generally satisfied immediately, when the transaction occurs, or by month-end. Performance obligations on revenue from fiduciary and asset management fees from the Consumer Banking segment are generally satisfied monthly or quarterly. For a majority of fee income on deposit accounts, the Company is a principal controlling the promised good or service before transferring it to the customer. For income related to most wealth management income, however, the Company is an agent responsible for arranging for the provision of goods and services by another party.

Mortgage banking income is earned from the Consumer Banking segment when the originated loans are sold to an investor on the secondary market. The loans are classified as LHFS before being sold. Additionally, the changes in fair value of the LHFS, loan commitments, and related derivatives are included in mortgage banking income.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation (the Company) as of September 30, 2022, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and stockholders’ equity for the three, six, and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated statements of changes in cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2022, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis is presented to aid the reader in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. This discussion and analysis should be read with the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the notes to the financial statements, and the other financial data included in this report, as well as the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K, including the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section therein. Highlighted in the discussion are material changes from prior reporting periods and identifiable trends materially affecting the Company. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year or for any other period. Amounts are rounded for presentation purposes; however, some of the percentages presented are computed based on unrounded amounts.

In management’s discussion and analysis, the Company provides certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are a supplement to GAAP, which is used to prepare the Company’s financial statements, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented without the impact of items or events that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. Non-GAAP financial measures may be identified with the symbol (+) and may be labeled as adjusted.  Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section within this Item 2 for more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in accordance with GAAP.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that include, without limitation, statements regarding anticipated changes in the interest rate environments and the related impacts on the Company’s net interest margin, changes in economic conditions, management’s belief regarding liquidity and capital resources, and statements that include other projections, predictions, expectations, or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions as of the time they are made, and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of qualified words (and their derivatives) such as “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “will,” “may,” “view,” “opportunity,” “potential,” “continue,” “confidence,” or words of similar meaning or other statements concerning opinions or judgment of the Company and its management about future events. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its existing knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual future results, performance, or achievements of, or trends affecting, the Company will not differ materially from any projected future results, performance, achievements or trends expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Actual future results, performance, achievements or trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to the effects of or changes in:

market interest rates and the impacts on macroeconomic conditions, customer and client behavior, the Company’s funding costs and the Company’s loan and securities portfolios;
inflation and its impacts on economic growth and customer and client behavior;
general economic and financial market conditions, in the United States generally and particularly in the markets in which the Company operates and which its loans are concentrated, including the effects of declines in real estate values, an increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth;

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions, and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the Company’s consolidated financial position and/or results of operations. The Company evaluates its critical accounting estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and updates them as needed. Management has discussed the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

The critical accounting and reporting policies include the Company’s accounting for the ALLL, acquired loans, and goodwill. The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding the Company’s consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, the Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

The Company provides additional information on its critical accounting policies and estimates under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in its 2021 Form 10-K and in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (ISSUED BUT NOT FULLY ADOPTED)

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02 “Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” This guidance eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, for public business entities, the amendments require disclosure of current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted if ASU 2016-13 has been adopted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU No. 2022-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging- Portfolio Layer Method” to allow nonprepayable financial assets to be included in a closed portfolio hedge using the portfolio layer method and to allow multiple hedged layers to be designated for a single closed portfolio of financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of financial instruments. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted if the amendments in ASU 2017-12 have been adopted for the corresponding period. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU No. 2022-01 and concluded that it will not have material implications on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This guidance provides temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform associated with the LIBOR transition. LIBOR and other interbank offered rates are widely used benchmark or reference rates that have been used in the valuation of loans, derivatives, and other financial contracts. Global capital markets are going to be required to move away from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates and toward rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. Topic 848 provides optional expedients and exceptions, subject to meeting certain criteria, for applying current GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, for contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. Topic 848 is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and can be adopted at an instrument level. As of March 31, 2021, the Company utilized the expedient to assert probability of hedged interest as detailed in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K. The Company may incorporate other components of Topic 848 at a later date as it continues to evaluate the remaining components of Topic 848 and its impact to the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES

Recent Events

The Company is continually monitoring the impact of various global and national events on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, including the impact of COVID-19, geopolitical conflicts (such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine), inflation, and rising interest rates. Inflation has risen as a result of growth in economic activity and demand for goods and services, as well as labor shortages and supply chain issues. As a result, market interest rates began to rise during 2022 after an extended period at historical lows. On March 16, 2022, the FOMC began to increase its Federal Funds target rates to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%, which was the first increase since December 2018. The FOMC further increased the target rates throughout 2022 to its current range of 3.00% to 3.25%. The FOMC also foreshadowed potential further increases to the target rates throughout the year and also confirmed the continued reduction to the Federal Reserve’s holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and agency debt and agency MBS. The Company anticipates that these FOMC actions will result in an expansion on its net interest margin due to the Company’s asset-sensitive position at September 30, 2022, as well as an increase in unrealized losses in AFS investments and a decline in purchases of mortgages. The timing and impact of inflation and rising interest rates on the Company's business and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. The Company will continue to deploy various asset liability management strategies to seek to manage the Company's risk related to interest rate fluctuations. Refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 3 of this Quarterly Report for additional information about the Company’s interest rate sensitivity.

Strategic Initiatives

Effective June 30, 2022, the Company transferred its ownership interest in DHFB, which was formerly a subsidiary of the Bank to CSP in exchange for a minority ownership interest in CSP, resulting in a $9.1 million pre-tax gain for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company took certain actions to reduce expenses in light of the period's prevailing and expected operating environment, including the closure of the Company’s operations center and consolidation of 16 branches, all of which were completed in March 2022. These actions resulted in restructuring expenses in the first quarter of 2022 of approximately $5.5 million, primarily related to lease and other asset write downs, as well as severance costs. There were no significant branch closing and facility consolidation costs throughout the remainder of 2022.

For the third quarter of 2022, net interest income was $150.7 million, an increase of $13.2 million from the third quarter of 2021. For the third quarter of 2022, net interest income (FTE)(+) was $154.6 million, an increase of $13.9 million from the third quarter of 2021. In the third quarter of 2022, net interest margin increased 29 bps to 3.34% from 3.05% in the third quarter of 2021, and net interest margin (FTE)(+) increased 31 bps to 3.43% from 3.12% compared to the same period of 2021. The increases in net interest income and net interest income (FTE)(+) were primarily the result of higher interest income on loans due to an increase in average loans held for investment and an increase in loan yields on the Company’s variable rate loans due to higher market interest rates. The increase was partially offset by an increase in deposit and borrowing costs primarily due to increases in short-term market rates.

For the first nine months of 2022, net interest income was $420.4 million, an increase of $7.5 million from the same period of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, net interest income (FTE)(+) was $431.2 million, an increase of $8.9 million from the same period of 2021. In the first nine months of 2022, net interest margin increased 6 bps to 3.16% from 3.10% for the first nine months of 2021, and net interest margin (FTE)(+) increased 7 bps to 3.24% from 3.17% for the same period in 2021. The increases in net interest margin and net interest margin (FTE)(+) were primarily the result of higher interest income on investments due to an increase in balances in taxable and tax-exempt securities and an increase in yields on the Company’s securities due to higher market interest rates, partially offset by an increase in deposit and borrowing costs due to increases in short-term market rates and additional borrowings related to the 2031 Notes and increased FHLB advances.

The Volume Rate Analysis table below presents changes in interest income (FTE)(+) and interest expense and distinguishes between the changes related to increases or decreases in average outstanding balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (volume), and the changes related to increases or decreases in average interest rates on such assets and liabilities (rate). Changes attributable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionally. Results, on a taxable equivalent basis, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Noninterest income decreased $4.4 million or 14.5% to $25.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $29.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a $3.4 million decrease in mortgage banking income due to a decline in mortgage loan origination volumes and lower gain on sale margins due primarily to rising interest rates, a $2.9 million decrease in fiduciary and asset management fees due to a decrease in assets under management primarily driven by the DHFB sale in the second quarter of 2022, and a $414,000 decrease in service charges on deposit accounts, reflective of changes to the Company’s overdraft policy. These decreases in noninterest income were partially offset by a $948,000 increase in loan-related interest rate swap fee income due to higher transaction volumes, a $718,000 increase in BOLI income due to mortality benefits, and a $258,000 increase in interchange fees.

Noninterest income increased $4.6 million or 5.2% to $94.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $89.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding the losses and gains on sale of securities and the gain on sale of DHFB, included within other operating income, adjusted operating noninterest income(+) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $4.4 million or 4.9% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease from the prior year was mainly due to a decrease of $11.0 million in mortgage banking income due to a decline in mortgage loan origination volumes and a decline in gain on sale margins as 2022 saw a steep increase in interest rates, and a decrease of $2.0 million in fiduciary and asset management fees due to a decrease in assets under management primarily driven by the DHFB sale. These decreases in noninterest income were partially offset by a $4.3 million increase in loan-related interest rate swap fee income due to higher transaction volumes, a $3.1 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts, a $656,000 increase in BOLI income due to mortality benefits, and a $287,000 increase in interchange fees.

Excluding amortization of intangible assets, adjusted operating noninterest expense(+) for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased $5.5 million or 6.0% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase from the prior year quarter was mainly due to a $3.1 million increase in salaries and benefits driven by increases in salaries, wages, and variable incentive compensation, a $2.3 million increase in other expenses, primarily comprised of $1.1 million in non-credit related losses on customer transactions and $440,000 in teammate training and travel costs, a $922,000 increase in FDIC assessment premiums, and a $739,000 increase in technology and data processing expenses driven primarily by an increase in software licensing and maintenance expenses. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $843,000 in occupancy expenses and $367,000 in furniture and equipment expenses, partially reflecting the impact of the Company’s consolidation of 16 branches that was completed in March 2022.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $4.8 million or 1.6% to $304.0 million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding amortization of intangible assets, losses related to balance sheet repositioning, and branch closing and facility consolidation costs, adjusted operating noninterest expense(+) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $17.1 million or 6.3% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase from the prior year period was mainly due to a $13.2 million increase in salaries and benefits primarily driven by an increase in salaries, wages, and variable incentive compensation, a $2.3 million increase in technology and data processing expense driven by an increase in software licensing and maintenance expenses, a $1.5 million increase in FDIC assessment premiums, and increases within other expenses, including a $1.5 million increase in non-credit related losses on customer transactions, a $1.2 million increase in teammate training and travel costs, and a $1.1 million increase in OREO and credit-related expenses. Partially offsetting these expense increases were decreases of $2.0 million in occupancy expenses and $1.1 million in furniture and equipment expenses, reflecting the impact of the Company’s consolidation of 16 branches that was completed in March 2022, and a $887,000 decrease in professional services expenses.

Segment Results

As discussed in Note 12, “Segment Reporting and Revenue,” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, effective for the third quarter of 2022, the Company now segments its business into two primary reportable operating segments—Wholesale Banking and Consumer Banking — as these segments reflect how the CODMs are now evaluating the business, establishing the overall business strategy, allocating resources, and assessing business performance. Included below are the key metrics used by the CODMs in evaluating the Company’s reportable operating segments.

Table of Contents

Wholesale Banking

The Wholesale Banking segment provides loan and deposit services, as well as treasury management and capital market services to wholesale customers primarily throughout Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina. These customers include commercial real estate and commercial and industrial customers. This segment also includes the Company’s public finance subsidiary and the equipment finance subsidiary, which has nationwide exposure.

The following tables present operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 for the Wholesale Banking segment (dollars in thousands):

Wholesale Banking income before income taxes decreased $25.3 million to $36.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $62.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was predominantly driven by an increase in the provision for credit losses of $24.6 million, reflecting the increased provision for credit losses in the current quarter due to the changes in the economic outlook and loan growth. In addition, noninterest expense increased by $4.9 million primarily due to an increase in salaries, benefits, and variable incentive compensation. These increases in provision and noninterest expense were partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $2.3 million reflecting the impact of increases in loan swap fees and other operating income related to syndication, foreign exchange, and other capital market transaction fees. In addition, net interest income increased by $2.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2021, as increases in loan balances and higher market rates were partially offset by higher deposit costs and a decrease in PPP related interest and fee income of $4.6 million.

The decrease was predominantly driven by an increase in provision for credit losses of $50.5 million, reflecting the increased provision for credit losses in the current period due to the changes in the economic outlook and loan growth. In addition, noninterest expense increased $11.7 million from the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in salaries, benefits, and variable incentive compensation. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $5.6 million from the same period in 2021, primarily due to a decrease in PPP related interest and fee income of $15.3 million, offset by increased interest income driven by higher loan balances. Partially offsetting the decreases in net interest income after provision for credit losses and the increase in noninterest expense, noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $6.1 million from 2021, primarily due to an increase in loan swap fees driven by higher transaction volume and an increase in other operating income related to syndication, foreign exchange, and other capital market transaction fees.

Growth in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio was primarily driven by an increase in equipment finance loans.

Wholesale banking deposits increased $59.6 million or 1.3% (annualized) to $6.2 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest bearing transaction deposits, partially offset by a decrease in money market balances and maturing high cost time deposits.

Consumer Banking

The Consumer Banking segment provides loan and deposit services to consumers and small businesses throughout Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina. Consumer Banking includes the home loan division and the wealth management division, which consists of private banking, trust, and investment management and advisory services.

The decrease was primarily driven by a $6.5 million decrease in noninterest income mainly driven by a decrease in mortgage banking income due to a decline in mortgage origination volumes, a decrease in fiduciary and asset management fees caused by a decrease in assets under management primarily related to the sale of DHFB in the second quarter of 2022, and a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts, reflective of changes to the Company’s overdraft policy. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $3.7 million driven by higher market rates, partially offset by a decrease in PPP related interest and fee income of $5.2 million.

Consumer Banking income before income taxes decreased $43.5 million to $37.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $80.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was predominantly driven by a $22.1 million increase in the provision for credit losses, reflecting the changes in the macroeconomic outlook. In addition, noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $9.7 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily driven by a decrease in mortgage banking income due to a decline in mortgage origination volumes, and a decrease in fiduciary and asset management fees due to a decrease in assets under management primarily driven by the DHFB sale. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts. Net interest income decreased by $7.4 million from the same period in 2021 largely due to a decrease in PPP related interest and fee income of $12.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $4.3 million from the same period in 2021, primarily driven by technology and other operating expenses.

Consumer Banking deposits decreased $96.3 million or 1.2% (annualized) to $10.3 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in money markets, partially offset by growth in savings accounts.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based upon the results of operations, adjusted for the effect of certain tax-exempt income and non-deductible expenses. In addition, certain items of income and expense are reported in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recognized currently in the deferred income tax provision or benefit. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the applicable enacted marginal tax rate.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 17.0% and 18.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 17.0% and 17.8%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rates reflects the impacts of the current year’s discrete items related to the sale of DHFB and a higher proportion of tax-exempt income to pre-tax income in the 2022 period.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Overview

Assets

At September 30, 2022, total assets were $20.0 billion, a decrease of $114.6 million or approximately 0.8% (annualized) from $20.1 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease in total assets was driven by the net investment securities portfolio decrease of $545.8 million mainly due to the decline in the AFS portfolio’s fair value, reflecting the impact of market interest rate increases which was partially offset by HTM portfolio growth of $213.3 million, and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $411.6 million, which was deployed primarily to fund loans, which increased by $722.9 million from December 31, 2021.

LHFI (net of deferred fees and costs) were $13.9 billion, including $12.1 million in PPP loans, at September 30, 2022, an increase of $722.9 million or 7.3% (annualized) from December 31, 2021. Excluding the effects of the PPP(+), LHFI (net of deferred fees and costs) at September 30, 2022 increased $861.1 million or 8.8% (annualized) from December 31, 2021. At September 30, 2022, quarterly average LHFI (net of deferred fees and costs) increased $281.8 million or 2.1% from the same period in the prior year. Excluding the effects of the PPP(+), the adjusted quarterly average LHFI (net of deferred fees and costs) at September 30, 2022 increased $954.8 million or 7.5% from September 30, 2021. Refer to "Loan Portfolio" within this Item 2 and Note 3 "Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information on the Company’s loan activity.

Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity

At September 30, 2022, total liabilities were $17.7 billion, an increase of $314.4 million from $17.4 billion at December 31, 2021.

Total deposits at September 30, 2022 were $16.5 billion, a decrease of $64.9 million or approximately 0.5% (annualized) from December 31, 2021. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, quarterly average deposits decreased $229.9 million or 1.4% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in deposits from the prior year period were driven by maturing high cost time deposits. Refer to “Deposits” within this Item 2 for further discussion on this topic.

Total short-term and long-term borrowings at September 30, 2022 were $669.6 million, an increase of $163.0 million or 32.2% when compared to $506.6 million at December 31, 2021. Refer to Note 6 “Borrowings” in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report for further discussion on this topic.

At September 30, 2022, stockholders’ equity was $2.3 billion, a decrease of $428.9 million from December 31, 2021. Refer to “Capital Resources” within this Item 2, as well as Note 9 "Stockholders’ Equity" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information on the Company’s capital resources.

For information related to the Company’s stock repurchase activity and the Repurchase Program, please refer to Note 9 “Stockholders’ Equity” in Part I, Item 1 and Part II, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company declared and paid a quarterly dividend on the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock of $171.88 per share (equivalent to $0.43 per outstanding depositary share), consistent with the second quarter of 2022 and the third quarter of 2021. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company also declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.30 per common share, an increase of $0.02 or approximately 7.1% from the second quarter of 2022 and the third quarter of 2021.

Securities

At September 30, 2022, the Company had total investments in the amount of $3.6 billion, or 18.2% of total assets, as compared to $4.2 billion, or 20.9% of total assets, at December 31, 2021. This decline in the Company’s investment portfolio was primarily due to a decline in the market value of the AFS securities portfolio, which was partially offset by growth in the Company’s HTM portfolio. The Company may experience further declines in the AFS portfolio in future periods if market interest rates continue to increase or the FOMC reduces the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet more quickly than anticipated. The Company seeks to diversify its portfolio to minimize risk. It focuses on purchasing MBS for cash flow and reinvestment opportunities and securities issued by states and political subdivisions due to the tax benefits and the higher yield offered from these securities. The majority of the Company’s MBS are agency-backed securities, which have a government guarantee. For information regarding the hedge transaction related to AFS securities, see Note 8 "Derivatives" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Weighted average yield is calculated as the tax-equivalent yield on a pro rata basis for each security based on its relative amortized cost.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company maintained a diversified municipal bond portfolio with approximately 65% of its holdings in general obligation issues and the majority of the remainder primarily backed by revenue bonds. Issuances within the State of Texas represented 18% of the total municipal portfolio; no other state had a concentration above 10%. Substantially all municipal holdings are considered investment grade. When purchasing municipal securities, the Company focuses on strong underlying ratings for general obligation issuers or bonds backed by essential service revenues.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, money market investments, federal funds sold, LHFS, and securities and loans maturing or re-pricing within one year. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds when necessary through federal funds lines with several correspondent banks, a line of credit with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Discount Window, the purchase of brokered certificates of deposit, corporate line of credit with a large correspondent bank, and debt and capital issuance. Management believes the Company’s overall liquidity to be sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and to meet its customers’ credit needs.

The Company closely monitors changes in the industry and market conditions that may impact the Company’s liquidity. Since the first half of 2020, the Company has seen increased customer deposit balances as a result of the impacts of COVID-19, including as a result of government stimulus programs. The Company considered a portion of the elevated levels in customer deposits to be temporary and has seen, and continues to see declines in certain segments of the Company’s deposit portfolio from prior elevated periods; however, the Company will use other borrowing means or other liquidity sources to fund its liquidity needs based on declines in deposit balances. The Company is also closely tracking the potential impacts on the Company’s liquidity of declines in the fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio due to rising market interest rates.

As of September 30, 2022, liquid assets totaled $5.7 billion or 28.5% of total assets, and liquid earning assets totaled $5.5 billion or 31.0% of total earning assets. Asset liquidity is also provided by managing loan and securities maturities and cash flows. As of September 30, 2022, loan payments of approximately $5.0 billion or 35.9% of total loans are expected within one year based on contractual terms, adjusted for expected prepayments, and approximately $290.6 million or 8.0% of total securities are scheduled to be paid down within one year based on contractual terms, adjusted for expected prepayments.

For additional information and the available balances on various lines of credit, please refer to Note 6 “Borrowings” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. In addition to lines of credit, the Bank may also borrow additional funds by purchasing certificates of deposit through a nationally recognized network of financial institutions. For additional information and outstanding balances on purchased certificates of deposits, please refer to “Deposits” within this Item 2.

Cash Requirements

The Company’s cash requirements, outside of lending transactions, consist primarily of borrowings, debt and capital instruments which are used as part of the Company’s overall liquidity and capital management strategy. Cash required to repay these obligations will be sourced from future debt and capital issuances and from other general liquidity sources as described above under “Liquidity” within this Item 2.

The following table presents the Company’s contractual obligations related to its major cash requirements and the scheduled payments due at the various intervals over the next year and beyond as of September 30, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

The Company remains committed to originating soundly underwritten loans to qualifying borrowers within its markets. As reflected in the loan table, at September 30, 2022 the largest components of the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of commercial real estate and commercial & industrial loans. The risks attributable to these concentrations are mitigated by the Company’s credit underwriting and monitoring processes, including oversight by a centralized credit administration function and credit policy and risk management committee, as well as seasoned bankers focusing their lending to borrowers with proven track records in markets with which the Company is familiar.

The Company had no short-term loan modifications related to COVID-19 as of September 30, 2022 and had insignificant short-term loan modifications related to COVID-19 as of December 31, 2021.

Asset Quality

Overview

At September 30, 2022, the Company experienced decreases in both NPAs and in accruing past due loan levels as a percentage of total LHFI compared to December 31, 2021. Net charge-offs increased $168,000 to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. The ACL at September 30, 2022 increased $11.2 million from December 31, 2021 to $119.0 million primarily due to increased uncertainty in the macroeconomic outlook and the impact of loan growth in the first nine months of 2022.

The Company continues to experience historically low levels of NPAs stemming from unprecedented government stimulus during COVID-19, low unemployment levels in the Company’s markets, and relatively stable economic conditions in the Company’s footprint. However, the economic environment in the Company’s footprint could change as persistent inflation and the threat of a recession looms, which could increase NPAs in future periods. The Company continues to refrain from originating or purchasing loans from foreign entities. The Company selectively originates loans to higher risk borrowers. The Company’s loan portfolio generally does not include exposure to option adjustable rate mortgage products, high loan-to-value ratio mortgages, interest only mortgage loans, subprime mortgage loans or mortgage loans with initial teaser rates, which are all considered higher risk instruments.

Nonperforming Assets

At September 30, 2022, NPAs totaled $28.6 million, a decrease of $4.2 million or 12.8% from December 31, 2021. NPAs as a percentage of total outstanding loans at September 30, 2022 were 0.21%, a decrease of 4 bps from December 31, 2021.

Past Due Loans

At September 30, 2022, past due loans still accruing interest totaled $29.0 million or 0.21% of total LHFI, compared to $29.9 million or 0.23% of total LHFI at December 31, 2021. Of the total past due loans still accruing interest, $7.4 million or 0.05% of total LHFI were past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2022, compared to $9.1 million or 0.07% of total LHFI at December 31, 2021.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A modification of a loan’s terms constitutes a TDR if the creditor grants a concession that it would not otherwise consider to the borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to modify their loan to more affordable terms before their loan reaches nonaccrual status. These modified terms may include rate reductions, extension of terms that are considered to be below market, conversion to interest only, principal forgiveness and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral.

The total recorded investment in TDRs at September 30, 2022 totaled $15.6 million, compared to $18.0 million at December 31, 2021. Of the $15.6 million of TDRs at September 30, 2022, $10.3 million or 66.1% were considered performing, while the remaining $5.3 million were considered nonperforming. Of the $18.0 million of TDRs at December 31, 2021, $10.3 million or 57.4% were considered performing, while the remaining $7.6 million were considered nonperforming. Loans are removed from TDR status in accordance with the established policy described in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

Net Charge-offs

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, net charge-offs were $587,000 or 0.02% of total average loans on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of less than 0.01% for the same quarter last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net charge-offs were $1.5 million or 0.02% of total average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $1.4 million or 0.01% for the same period last year. The net charge-offs of loans continue to be insignificant, driven by continued low levels of NPAs.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $6.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $25.2 million compared to the negative provision for credit losses of $18.8 million recorded during the same quarter of 2021. The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2022 reflected a provision of $4.4 million for loan losses and a $2.0 million provision for unfunded commitments. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $72.7 million compared to the negative provision for credit losses of $59.9 million recorded during the same period last year. The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflected a provision of $9.7 million for loan and securities losses and a $3.0 million provision for unfunded commitments. The increased provision for credit losses is due to changes in the macroeconomic forecast and the impact of loan growth in the first nine months of 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses

At September 30, 2022, the ACL was $119.0 million and included an ALLL of $108.0 million and a RUC of $11.0 million. The ACL increased $11.2 million from December 31, 2021, primarily due to increased uncertainty in the macroeconomic outlook and the impact of loan growth in the first nine months of 2022.

The ACL as a percentage of the total loan portfolio increased to 0.86% at September 30, 2022, compared to 0.82% at December 31, 2021.

(1) Includes uninsured deposits of $6.0 billion and $5.9 billion as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Amounts are based on estimated amounts of uninsured deposits as of the reported period.

The Company may also borrow additional funds by purchasing certificates of deposit through a nationally recognized network of financial institutions. The Company utilizes this funding source when rates are more favorable than other funding sources; however, it had reduced the usage of purchased certificates of deposit, as compared to historical levels, due to increased customer deposit balances since the beginning of COVID-19. Customer deposits have begun to decline in certain segments of the Company’s deposit portfolio in the second half of 2022, resulting in the Company purchasing $21.1 million of certificates of deposit. At December 31, 2021 the Company had no purchased certificates of deposit.

Capital Resources

Capital resources represent funds, earned or obtained, over which financial institutions can exercise greater or longer control in comparison with deposits and borrowed funds. The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis with reference to size, composition, and quality of the Company’s resources and consistency with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses, yet allow management to effectively leverage its capital to maximize return to shareholders.

On December 10, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Repurchase Program to purchase up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common stock through December 9, 2022 in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and /or Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. For information about the Company’s stock repurchase activity and the Repurchase Program, please refer to Note 9 “Stockholders’ Equity” in Part I, Item 1 and Part II, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.

The Federal Reserve requires the Company and the Bank to comply with the following minimum capital ratios: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0% of risk-weighted assets; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% of risk-weighted assets; (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5% of risk-weighted assets; and (iv) a leverage ratio of 4.0% of total assets. These ratios, with the exception of the leverage ratio, include a 2.5% capital conservation buffer, which is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

On March 27, 2020, the banking agencies issued an interim final rule that allows the Company to phase in the impact of adopting the CECL methodology up to two years, with a three-year transition period to phase out the cumulative benefit to regulatory capital provided during the two-year delay.  The Company is allowed to include the impact of the CECL transition, which is defined as the CECL Day 1 impact to capital plus 25% of the Company’s provision for credit losses during 2020, in regulatory capital through 2021.  The Company elected to phase-in the regulatory capital impact as permitted under the aforementioned interim final rule. Beginning in 2022, the transition amount began to impact regulatory capital by phasing it in over a three-year period ending in 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In this Quarterly Report, the Company has provided supplemental performance measures on a tax-equivalent, tangible, operating, adjusted or pre-tax pre-provision basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are a supplement to GAAP, which is used to prepare the Company’s financial statements and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented without the impact of items or events that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance.

Net interest income (FTE) and total revenue (FTE), which are used in computing net interest margin (FTE), provide valuable additional insight into the net interest margin by adjusting for differences in the tax treatment of interest income sources. The entire FTE adjustment is attributable to interest income on earning assets, which is used in computing the yield on earning assets. Interest expense and the related cost of interest-bearing liabilities and cost of funds ratios are not affected by the FTE components.

The Company believes tangible common equity is an important indication of its ability to grow organically and through business combinations as well as its ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies. Tangible common equity and tangible assets are used in the calculation of certain profitability, capital, and per share ratios. The Company believes tangible common equity, tangible assets, and the related ratios are meaningful measures of capital adequacy because they provide a meaningful basis for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which the Company believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of the Company and its ability to absorb potential losses.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates, and equity prices. The Company’s market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The ALCO of the Company is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position of the Company and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to this risk. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves the guidelines established by ALCO.

Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of three complementary modeling tools: static gap analysis, earnings simulation modeling, and economic value simulation (net present value estimation). Each of these models measures changes in a variety of interest rate scenarios. While each of the interest rate risk models has limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk in the Company, the distribution of risk along the yield curve, the level of risk through time, and the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships. Static gap, which measures aggregate re-pricing values, is less utilized because it does not effectively measure the options risk impact on the Company and is not addressed here. Earnings simulation and economic value models, which more effectively measure the cash flow and optionality impacts, are utilized by management on a regular basis and are explained below.

The Company determines the overall magnitude of interest sensitivity risk and then formulates policies and practices governing asset generation and pricing, funding sources and pricing, and off-balance sheet commitments. These decisions are based on management’s expectations regarding future interest rate movements, the states of the national, regional and local economies, and other financial and business risk factors. The Company uses simulation modeling to measure and monitor the effect of various interest rate scenarios and business strategies on net interest income. This modeling reflects interest rate changes and the related impact on net interest income and net income over specified time horizons.

Earnings Simulation Analysis

Management uses simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates. The model calculates an earnings estimate based on current and projected balances and rates. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but it provides a better analysis of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses, such as the static gap analysis discussed above.

Assumptions used in the model are derived from historical trends and management’s outlook and include loan and deposit growth rates and projected yields and rates. These assumptions may not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. The model also does not take into account any future actions of management to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes. Such assumptions are monitored by management and periodically adjusted as appropriate. All maturities, calls, and prepayments in the securities portfolio are assumed to be reinvested in like instruments. MBS prepayment assumptions are based on industry estimates of prepayment speeds for portfolios with similar coupon ranges and seasoning.

Table of Contents

Different interest rate scenarios and yield curves are used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to changing interest rates. Interest rates on different asset and liability accounts move differently when the prime rate changes and are reflected in the different rate scenarios.

The Company uses its simulation model to estimate earnings in rate environments where rates are instantaneously shocked up or down around a “most likely” rate scenario, based on implied forward rates and futures curves. The analysis assesses the impact on net interest income over a 12-month time horizon after an immediate increase or “shock” in rates, of 100 bps up to 300 bps. The model, under all scenarios, does not drop the index below zero.

The following table represents the interest rate sensitivity on net interest income for the Company across the rate paths modeled for balances as of September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and September 30, 2021:

Asset sensitivity indicates that in a rising interest rate environment, the Company’s net interest income would increase and in a decreasing interest rate environment, the Company’s net interest income would decrease. Liability sensitivity indicates that in a rising interest rate environment, the Company’s net interest income would decrease and in a decreasing interest rate environment, the Company’s net interest income would increase.

From a net interest income perspective, the Company was less asset sensitive as of September 30, 2022, compared to its position as of September 30, 2021. This shift is in part due to the changing market characteristics of certain loan and deposit products and in part due to various other balance sheet strategies. The Company would expect net interest income to increase with an immediate increase or shock in market rates. In the decreasing interest rate environments, the Company would expect a decline in net interest income as interest-earning assets re-price at lower rates and interest-bearing deposits remain at or near their floors.

Economic Value Simulation

Economic value simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments. Economic values are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis. The net economic value of equity is the economic value of all assets minus the economic value of all liabilities. The change in net economic value over different rate environments is an indication of the longer-term earnings capability of the balance sheet. The same assumptions are used in the economic value simulation as in the earnings simulation. The economic value simulation uses instantaneous rate shocks to the balance sheet.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s economic value of equity is generally less asset sensitive in a rising interest rate environment compared to its position as of September 30, 2021 primarily due to the composition of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and due in part to the pricing characteristics and assumptions of certain deposits.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management has taken measures to maintain the internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2022. There have been no changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

Stock Repurchase Program; Other Repurchases

On December 10, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) to purchase up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common stock through December 9, 2022 in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and /or Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The Repurchase Program permits management to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time at management’s discretion. The actual means and timing of any shares purchased under the Repurchase Program will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares.
