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 (NYSE: AUB) is the holding company for Atlantic Union Bank. Atlantic Union Bank had 109 branches and approximately 125 ATMs located throughout Virginia, and in portions of Maryland and North Carolina as of March 31, 2023. 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.
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 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 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 2022 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
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. The Company adopted ASU No. 2022-01 effective January 1, 2023 and concluded that it did not have significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02 Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors and instead requires that an entity evaluate whether a loan modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan, consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications. The amendment also introduces new disclosure requirements for modifications to loans made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, term extensions, or other-than-insignificant payment delays. The Company refers to these modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as Troubled Loan Modifications, or TLMs. In addition, the amendments require that an entity disclose 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. The Company adopted the amendments of ASU 2022-02 effective January 1, 2023 on a prospective basis. See below in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within this Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for discussion of the Company’s accounting policy for Loan Modifications and Note 3 “Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” within this Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for more information.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform. 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. ASC 848 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. ASC 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, 2024 and can be adopted at an instrument level. The Company has elected the practical expedients provided in ASC 848 related to (1) accounting for contract modifications on its loans and securities tied to LIBOR and (2) asserting probability of the hedged item occurring, regardless of any expected modification in terms related to reference rate reform for the newly executed cash flow hedges. The Company

may incorporate other components of ASC 848 at a later date. This amendment did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Loan Modifications
The Company evaluates all loan modifications according to the accounting guidance for loan refinancing and restructuring to determine whether the modification should be accounted for as a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. If the modification meets the criteria to be accounted for as a new loan, any deferred fees and costs remaining prior to the modification are recognized in income and any new deferred fees and costs are recorded on the loan as part of the modification. If the modification does not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a new loan, any new deferred fees and costs resulting from the modification are added to the existing amortized cost basis of the loan.
The Company adopted the accounting guidance in ASU No. 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 that eliminates the recognition and measurement of TDRs. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company no longer applies its TDR accounting policy and instead accounts for modifications in accordance with its loan modifications policy stated in the preceding paragraph. For the Company’s policy for accounting for TDRs prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2022-02, see Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company refers to modifications to loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification is in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, term extensions, other-than-insignificant payment delays, or a combination of the above modifications, as troubled loan modifications, or TLMs. The Company accounts for TLMs consistently with its accounting policy for accounting for loan modifications. The ALLL on TLMs is measured using the same method as all other LHFI. Refer to Note 3 “Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” within this Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional disclosures related to TLMs.
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 $60.7 million and $58.9 million on , $6.8 million and $8.6 million on , and $9.4 million and $14.2 million on at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is included in “Other assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The 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 March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, accrued interest receivable write offs were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(1) Other bonds include asset-backed securities.
(2) Comprised of 752 and 363 individual securities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company has evaluated AFS securities in an unrealized loss position for credit related impairment at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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% simplified supervisory formula approach rating.
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company executed a balance sheet repositioning strategy and sold AFS securities with a total book value of $505.7 million at a pre-tax loss of $13.4 million and used the net proceeds to reduce existing high costing FHLB borrowings. The deleverage strategy provides the Company with improved liquidity, enhanced tangible common equity, and additional run rate earnings.

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 insignificant at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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.

Troubled Loan Modifications
The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 effective January 1, 2023 on a prospective basis. See Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within this Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for information on the Company’s accounting policy for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and how the Company defines TLMs.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had TLMs with an amortized cost basis of $20.5 million with an estimated $296,000 of allowance for those loans. As of March 31, 2023, unfunded commitments on loans modified and designated as TLMs since January 1, 2023 totaled $4.4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the change in the recorded investment in TLMs due to modifications was not significant.
The following table shows by class and modification type, the amortized cost basis of TLMs as of March 31, 2023 since January 1, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

The following table describes the financial effects of TLMs on a weighted average basis for TLMs within that loan type for the quarter ended March 31, 2023:
Term Extension | ||||||||
Loan Type | | Financial Effect | ||||||
Construction and Land Development | | Added a weighted-average 0.5 years to the life of loans. | ||||||
Commercial Real Estate - Non-Owner Occupied | | Added a weighted-average 0.5 years to the life of loans. | ||||||
Residential 1-4 Family - Consumer | | Added a weighted-average 18.2 years to the life of loans. | ||||||
| ||||||||
Combination - Term Extension and Interest Rate Reduction | ||||||||
Loan Type | | Financial Effect | ||||||
Residential 1-4 Family - Consumer | | Added a weighted-average 20.7 years to the life of loans and changed interest rate from variable to fixed rates, which reduced the weighted average contractual interest rate from 7.5% to 7.4%. |
The Company considers a default of a TLM to occur when the borrower is 90 days past due following the modification or a foreclosure and repossession of the applicable collateral occurs. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not have any significant loans either individually or in the aggregate that went into default that have been modified and designated as TLMs.
The Company monitors the performance of TLMs in order to determine the effectiveness of the modifications. As of March 31, 2023, no loans that have been modified and designated as TLMs are past due.

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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in thousands):

The primary credit quality indicator for the Consumer segment is delinquency bands of Current, 30-59, 60-89, 90+, and Nonaccrual. See Note 3 “Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on the Company’s policies for further information on the Company’s credit quality indicators.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had TDRs totaling $14.2 million with an estimated $739,000 of allowance for those loans. TDRs that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were not significant.
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 months ended March 31, 2022, 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 December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

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 four years to ten years, using an accelerated method. Other amortizable intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from four years to ten years, using various methods. The Company concluded there was no impairment to the Company’s goodwill or intangible assets as of the balance sheet date. 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.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company made an organizational change to move certain lines of business in the wealth management division that primarily serve Wholesale Banking customers from the Consumer Banking segment to the Wholesale Banking segment. As a result, the Company re-allocated $9.6 million and $1.6 million of goodwill and intangible assets, respectively, from the Consumer Banking segment to the Wholesale Banking segment. The Company determined that there was no impairment to the Bank’s goodwill prior to or after re-allocating goodwill. The Company restated its goodwill and intangible assets segment information for the year ended December 31, 2022 based on this organizational change.
The following table presents the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets by operating segment as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

5. LEASES
Lessor Arrangements
The Company’s lessor arrangements consist of sales-type and direct financing leases for equipment, including vehicles and machinery, with terms ranging from 14 months to 125 months. 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 residual value insurance to reduce its residual asset risk. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of residual assets covered by residual value guarantees and residual value insurance was $45.9 million and $44.3 million, respectively. For more information on the Company’s lessor arrangements, refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
In the ordinary course of its operations, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to loss contingencies related to legal and regulatory proceedings. The Company establishes accruals for those matters when a loss contingency is considered probable and the related amount is reasonably estimable. When it is practicable, the Company estimates possible loss contingencies, whether or not there is an accrued probable loss. When the Company is able to estimate such losses and when it is reasonably possible that the Company could incur losses in excess of the amounts accrued, the Company discloses the aggregate estimation of such possible losses.
As previously disclosed, on February 9, 2022, pursuant to the CFPB’s Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise process, the CFPB Office of Enforcement notified the Bank that it is considering recommending that the CFPB take legal action against the Bank in connection with alleged violations of Regulation E, 12 C.F.R. § 1005.17, and the Consumer Financial Protection Act, 12 U.S.C. §§ 5531 and 5536, in connection with the Bank’s overdraft practices and policies. In March 2023, the CFPB commenced settlement discussions with the Company to resolve the matter.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company has recorded a probable and estimable liability in connection with this matter. In addition, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the Company may experience losses in connection with this matter in excess of what the Company has accrued; however, the Company cannot reasonably estimate any loss beyond the estimated liability that has been recorded.
The Company cannot provide assurance whether a settlement will be reached, the final terms or timing of any such settlement, or the final amount of loss (potentially including both restitution and a civil money penalty) with respect to this matter. If the Company and the CFPB do not reach a settlement, the CFPB may commence litigation against the Company.
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. Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support off-balance sheet instruments with credit risk. 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s reserve for unfunded commitments and indemnification reserve totaled $15.6 million and $14.1 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
-33-
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 March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $213.2 million in deposits in other financial institutions of which $162.3 million served as collateral for cash flow and loan swap derivatives. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $273.5 million in deposits in other financial institutions of which $196.2 million served as collateral for the Company’s cash flow and loan swap derivatives. The Company had approximately $47.5 million and $74.0 million in deposits in other financial institutions that were uninsured at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 over-the-counter derivatives cleared with the central clearinghouses, the variation margin is treated as a settlement of the related derivatives fair values. Refer to Note 8 “Derivatives” within this Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information.
As part of the Company’s liquidity management strategy, it pledges collateral to secure various financing and other activities that occur during the normal course of business. The following tables present the types of collateral pledged at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

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 over-the-counter derivatives with central clearinghouses through futures commission merchants 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 over-the-counter 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 in range and 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 $900 million. 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate notional amount of the related hedged items for certain long-term fixed rate loans totaled $82.0 million and $83.6 million, respectively, and the fair value of the swaps associated with the derivative related to hedged items was an unrealized gain of $9.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively.
-36-
AFS Securities: The Company has a swap agreement to hedge the interest rate risk on a portion of its fixed rate AFS securities. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 $1.2 million and $1.9 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, Fair Value Measurement 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” within this Item 1 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 the Bloomberg Valuation Service’s derivative pricing functions. No significant differences were identified during the validation as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 did not have a significant 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-
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 the Bloomberg Valuation Service, 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 significant differences between valuation sources are researched by further analyzing the various inputs that are utilized by each pricing source. No significant differences were identified during the validation as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (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 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 nonrecurring valuation adjustments for these assets did not have a significant 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 HTM investment portfolio is primarily valued using fair value measurements that are considered to be Level 2, utilizes the same valuation approach as described above with the AFS securities portfolio. Any significant differences between valuation sources are researched by further analyzing the various inputs that are utilized by each pricing source. No significant differences were identified during the validation as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The Company’s Level 3 HTM securities are a result of a prior 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 incorporates considerations for the complexity of the instrument, likelihood it will be called, and credit ratings. The Company reviews the valuations obtained for any material differences between valuation sources by analyzing the various inputs and results utilized by each pricing source. No significant differences were identified during the validation as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
-42-
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, brokered deposits, 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.
The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

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 interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts 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 attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in thousands except per share data):

12. SEGMENT REPORTING AND REVENUE
Operating Segments
Prior to the third quarter of 2022, the Company had one reportable operating segment, the Bank; however, in the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed system conversions that allow its chief operating decision makers 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. As a result, the Company restated its segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and under the new basis with two reportable operating segments.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company made an organizational change to move certain lines of business in the wealth management division that primarily serve Wholesale Banking customers from the Consumer Banking segment to the Wholesale Banking segment. As a result, the Company re-allocated $9.6 million of goodwill from the Consumer Banking segment to the Wholesale Banking segment and restated its prior segment information for the year ended December 31, 2022, based on this organizational change. Goodwill was evaluated for impairment prior to and immediately following the organizational change. Refer to Note 4 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” within this Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report for additional information.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s operating segments include the following:
● | Wholesale Banking: The Wholesale Banking segment provides loan and deposit services, as well as treasury management, SBA lending, and capital market services to wholesale customers primarily throughout Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and South 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 private banking and trust businesses also reside in the Wholesale Banking segment. |
● | 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 investment management and advisory services businesses. |
● | 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. |
Segment Reporting Methodology
The Company’s segment reporting is based on a “management approach” as described in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. 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. For additional information on the methodologies used in preparing the operating segment results, refer to Note 17 “Segment Reporting and Revenue” in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

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 March 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and stockholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the consolidated statements of changes in cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2022, 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 23, 2023, 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, 2022, 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 results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of the Company and its subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction 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 2022 Form 10-K, including under “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 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.
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 our expectations with regard to our business, financial and operating results, including our deposit base and funding and the impact of future economic conditions, 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, estimates with respect to the earn back period related to our recent balance sheet repositioning, 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 our management about future events. Although we believe that our expectations with respect to forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our existing knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual future results, performance, or achievements of, or trends affecting, us 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 their related impacts on macroeconomic conditions, customer and client behavior, our funding costs and our loan and securities portfolios; |
● | inflation and its impacts on economic growth and customer and client behavior; |
● | adverse developments in the financial industry generally, such as the recent bank failures, responsive measures to mitigate and manage such developments, related supervisory and regulatory actions and costs, and related impacts on customer and client behavior; |
● | the sufficiency of liquidity; |
-52-
● | general economic and financial market conditions, in the United States generally and particularly in the markets in which we operate and which our loans are concentrated, including the effects of declines in real estate values, an increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth; |
● | monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve; |
● | the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios and changes therein; |
● | demand for loan products and financial services in our market areas; |
● | our ability to manage our growth or implement our growth strategy; |

● | the introduction of new lines of business or new products and services; |
● | our ability to recruit and retain key employees; |
● | real estate values in our lending area; |
● | changes in accounting principles, standards, rules, and interpretations, and the related impact on our financial statements; |
● | an insufficient ACL or volatility in the ACL resulting from the CECL methodology, either alone or as that may be affected by inflation, changing interest rates, or other factors; |
● | our liquidity and capital positions; |
● | concentrations of loans secured by real estate, particularly commercial real estate; |
● | the effectiveness of our credit processes and management of our credit risk; |
● | our ability to compete in the market for financial services and increased competition from fintech companies; |
● | technological risks and developments, and cyber threats, attacks, or events; |
● | operational, technological, cultural, regulatory, legal, credit, and other risks associated with the exploration, consummation and integration of potential future acquisitions, whether involving stock or cash considerations; |
● | the potential adverse effects of unusual and infrequently occurring events, such as weather-related disasters, terrorist acts, geopolitical conflicts or public health events, and of governmental and societal responses thereto; these potential adverse effects may include, without limitation, adverse effects on the ability of our borrowers to satisfy their obligations to us, on the value of collateral securing loans, on the demand for the our loans or our other products and services, on supply chains and methods used to distribute products and services, on incidents of cyberattack and fraud, on our liquidity or capital positions, on risks posed by reliance on third-party service providers, on other aspects of our business operations and on financial markets and economic growth; |
● | the discontinuation of LIBOR and its impact on the financial markets, and our ability to manage operational, legal, and compliance risks related to the discontinuation of LIBOR and implementation of one or more alternate reference rates; |
● | performance by our counterparties or vendors; |
● | deposit flows; |
● | the availability of financing and the terms thereof; |
● | the level of prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities; |
● | legislative or regulatory changes and requirements; |
● | actual or potential claims, damages, and fines related to litigation or government actions, which may result in, among other things, additional costs, fines, penalties, restrictions on our business activities, reputational harm, or other adverse consequences; |
● | the effects of changes in federal, state or local tax laws and regulations; |
● | any event or development that would cause us to conclude that there was an impairment of any asset, including intangible assets, such as goodwill; and |
● | other factors, many of which are beyond our control. |
Please also refer to such other factors as discussed throughout Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the 2022 Form 10-K and related disclosures in other filings, which have been filed with the SEC and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. All risk factors and uncertainties described herein and therein should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and all of the forward-looking statements made in this report are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein and therein. The actual results or developments anticipated may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected consequences to or effects on the Company or our businesses or operations. Readers are cautioned not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, and undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.

We do not intend or assume any obligation to update, revise or clarify any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the application of accounting and reporting policies in accordance with 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, which require the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments, which may prove inaccurate or are subject to variations. Changes in underlying factors, estimates, assumptions or judgements could result in material changes in the Company’s consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.
Certain accounting policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. The Company has identified the allowance for loan and lease losses and fair value measurements as accounting policies that require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new or additional information becomes available or circumstances change. Therefore, the Company evaluates these accounting policies and related critical accounting estimates on an ongoing basis and updates them as needed.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (ISSUED BUT NOT FULLY ADOPTED)
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-02 Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2023-02, companies could only apply the proportional amortization method to low-income-housing tax credit structures. Topic 323 allows for the expansion of use of the proportional amortization method to all tax equity investments that meet certain conditions. Under the proportional amortization method, the initial cost of the investment is amortized in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received and presents this net amount as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Recent Events and Industry Developments
In March 2023, the banking industry experienced significant volatility due to two recent high-profile bank failures, and in April 2023, there was a third bank failure that has contributed to additional volatility during April and May. These recent bank failures have resulted in significant concerns within the banking industry related to liquidity, deposit outflows, and unrealized losses on investment securities. These concerns and volatility in the banking industry may persist if other industry participants experience similar high-profile financial challenges or if other banks are closed by federal or state banking regulators. These recent events in the banking industry have reinforced the importance of maintaining access to diverse sources of funding and the benefits of a robust and stable deposit base, but the continuing impact of the volatility and turmoil in the banking industry on the Company, and its financial condition and results of operations for the remainder of 2023, is uncertain and cannot be predicted.
In light of the recent events in the banking industry, a continued rising interest rate environment and persistent concerns about recessionary conditions in the U.S. economy during 2023 or 2024, the Company continues to actively monitor balance sheet trends, deposit flows, and liquidity needs to ensure that the Company and the Bank are able to meet the needs of the Bank’s customers and maintain financial flexibility. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company’s LHFI, net of deferred fees and costs, and total deposits increased from the prior quarter by $135.1 million and $524.2 million, respectively, and the Company’s short-term borrowings decreased by $910.1 million from the prior quarter largely driven by repayments funded by the Company’s sale of $505.7 million of AFS securities during the first quarter of 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company estimates that approximately 72.1% of the Company’s deposits were insured or collateralized, and that the Company maintained available liquidity sources to cover approximately 130% of uninsured and uncollateralized deposits. In addition, to further bolster the Company’s funding position during the first quarter, the Company augmented customer deposit growth by also increasing brokered deposits by approximately $370.5 million from the prior quarter.
Despite the negative developments within the broader banking industry during the first quarter of 2023, the Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios continued to exceed the standards to be considered well-capitalized under regulatory requirements. See “Capital Resources” within this Item 2 for additional information about the Company’s regulatory capital.
The Company is continually monitoring the impact of other various global and national events on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, including inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical conflicts (such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine). Inflation has risen as a result of growth in economic activity and demand for goods and services, as well as labor shortages and global supply chain issues. As a result, market interest rates began to rise during 2022 after an extended period at historical lows, and the FOMC increased the Federal Funds target rates throughout 2022 and 2023 to its current range of 5.00% to 5.25%. The FOMC has noted that it will closely monitor incoming information and assess the implications for monetary policy in determining future actions with respect to the target rates and also confirmed the continued reduction to the Federal Reserve’s holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and agency debt and agency MBS. These developments helped drive the meaningful increase in deposit costs and deposit competition that the Company experienced during the first quarter of 2023. The Company anticipates that the net impact of these factors will result in a continued contraction of its net interest margin. The timing and impact of inflation, market interest rates, and the competitive landscape of deposits 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 “Liquidity” within this Item 2 for additional information about the Company’s liquidity and “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
On January 18, 2023, February 9, 2023, and March 6th through the 9th of 2023, the Company executed a balance sheet repositioning strategy and sold AFS securities with a total book value of $505.7 million at a pre-tax loss of $13.4 million and used the net proceeds to reduce existing high costing FHLB borrowings. The deleverage strategy provides the Company with
-55-
improved liquidity, enhanced tangible common equity, and additional run rate earnings. The Company estimates the loss will be earned back in approximately two years.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company closed its operations center and consolidated 16 branches, resulting in restructuring expenses in the first quarter of 2022 of approximately $5.5 million, primarily related to real estate lease and other asset write downs, as well as severance costs. There were no significant branch closing and facility consolidation costs for the first quarter of 2023.
SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net Income & Performance Metrics
● | Net income available to common shareholders was $32.7 million and basic and diluted EPS was $0.44 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $40.7 million and $0.54 for the first quarter of 2022. |
● | Excluding a pre-tax loss on the sale of securities of $13.4 million due to the sale of AFS securities and a $5.0 million legal reserve associated with an ongoing and previously disclosed regulatory matter, the Company reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, adjusted operating earnings available to common shareholders(+)of $47.2 million and adjusted diluted operating EPS (+) of $0.63, compared to adjusted operating earnings available to common shareholders(+) of $45.1 million and diluted adjusted operating EPS(+) of $0.60 for the first quarter of 2022. |
Balance Sheet
● | Total assets were $20.1 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $357.8 million or approximately 7.1% (annualized) from December 31, 2022. Total assets decreased during the first quarter primarily due to a decline in the investment securities portfolio of $514.4 million due to the sale of AFS securities as part of the Company’s balance sheet repositioning strategy executed during the quarter. The decrease in assets during the first quarter was partially offset by a $135.1 million increase in LHFI, net of deferred fees and costs, driven by loan growth. |
● | Total LHFI, net of deferred fees and costs, were $14.6 billion at March 31, 2023, an increase of $135.1 million or 3.8% (annualized) from December 31, 2022. |
● | Total investments were $3.2 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $514.4 million from December 31, 2022. AFS securities totaled $2.3 billion at March 31, 2023, compared to $2.7 billion at December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, total net unrealized losses on the AFS securities portfolio were $407.9 million, an improvement of $54.7 million from total net unrealized losses on AFS securities of $462.6 at December 31, 2022. HTM securities are carried at cost and totaled $855.4 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $847.7 million at December 31, 2022 and have net unrealized losses of $32.3 million at March 31, 2023, an improvement of $13.5 million from net unrealized losses on HTM securities of $45.8 at December 31, 2022, due primarily to changes in interest rates and market conditions during the first quarter. |
● | At March 31, 2023, total deposits were $16.5 billion, an increase of $524.2 million or approximately 13.3% (annualized) from December 31, 2022, due to a $829.5 million increase in interest-bearing deposits, which includes approximately $377.9 million in brokered deposits, partially offset by a $305.2 million decrease in demand deposits, as customers moved funds from lower to higher yielding deposit products. |
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, which represents the principal source of revenue for the Company, is the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense. The net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. Changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income, the net interest margin, and net income.
The following table shows interest income on earning assets and related average yields, as well as interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and related average rates paid for the periods indicated:

For the first quarter of 2023, net interest income was $153.4 million, an increase of $22.5 million from the first quarter of 2022. For the first quarter of 2023, net interest income (FTE)(+) was $157.2 million, an increase of $23.0 million from the first quarter of 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, net interest margin increased 44 bps to 3.41% from 2.97% in the first quarter of 2022, and net interest margin (FTE)(+) increased 46 bps to 3.50% from 3.04% compared to the same period of 2022. The increases in net interest income and net interest income (FTE)(+) were primarily driven by higher loan yields due to increased short-term interest rates and higher average loans, as well as increases in investment income primarily due to higher yields on taxable securities, driven by the higher short-term interest rates, partially offset by a decrease in the securities portfolio balance due to the sale of $505.7 million of AFS securities in the first quarter of 2023, as the Company executed a balance sheet repositioning strategy. These increases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to higher deposit costs and borrowings due to increased market interest rates, as well as changes in the deposit mix as depositors migrated to higher costing interest bearing deposit accounts at the end of 2022 and into the first quarter of 2023.

The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily driven by a $3.0 million decrease in fiduciary and asset management fees due to a decrease in assets under management mainly driven by the DHFB sale in the second quarter of 2022, and a $2.4 million decrease in loan-related interest rate swap fees due to lower transaction volumes, and a $2.3 million decrease in mortgage banking income due to a decline in mortgage loan origination volumes driven by the rapid increase in market interest rates. These decreases were partially offset by a $515,000 increase in interchange fees.

Noninterest expense increased $3.0 million or 2.8% to $108.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $105.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Excluding, amortization of intangible assets ($2.3 million in 2023 and $3.0 million in 2022), the legal reserve associated with an ongoing and previously disclosed regulatory matter, included within other expenses ($5.0 million in 2023), and strategic branch closing and facility consolidation costs, included within other expenses ($5.5 million in 2022), adjusted operating noninterest expense(+) for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 increased $4.2 million or 4.4%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase from the prior year quarter in adjusted operating non-interest expense(+) was primarily driven by a $2.2 million increase in salaries and benefits expense driven by increases in salaries and wages, a $1.4 million increase in FDIC assessment premiums and other insurance primarily due to the increase in the FDIC assessment rates, effective January 1, 2023, and a $1.3 million increase in other expenses, primarily due to an increase in teammate and travel costs and other operational expenses. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $677,000 in professional services related to strategic projects that occurred in the prior year quarter and $527,000 in occupancy expenses.

Segment Results
As discussed in Note 12, “Segment Reporting and Revenue,” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, effective as of the third quarter of 2022, the Company began segmenting its business into two primary reportable operating segments—Wholesale Banking and Consumer Banking — as these segments reflect how the chief operating decision makers 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 chief operating decision makers in evaluating the Company’s reportable operating segments.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company made an organizational change to move certain lines of business in the wealth management division that primarily serve Wholesale Banking customers from the Consumer Banking segment to the Wholesale Banking segment. As a result, the Company re-allocated $9.6 million of goodwill from the Consumer Banking segment to the Wholesale Banking segment and restated its prior segment information for the year ended December 31, 2022, based on this organizational change. Refer to Note 4 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” and Note 12 “Segment Reporting and Revenue” within Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Wholesale Banking
The Wholesale Banking segment provides loan and deposit services, as well as treasury management, SBA lending, and capital market services to wholesale customers primarily throughout Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and South 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 private banking and trust businesses also reside in the Wholesale Banking segment.
The following table presents operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 for the Wholesale Banking segment (dollars in thousands):

Wholesale Banking income before income taxes decreased $16.8 million to $22.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $39.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by an $8.9 million increase in the provision for credit losses, due to increasing uncertainty in the economic outlook and loan growth. Net interest income decreased $3.9 million driven by Paycheck Protection Program loan income in the first quarter of 2022, and spread compression on the loan and deposit portfolios driven by the rapid rise in interest rates. This was partially offset by higher income due to higher average loan balances. Noninterest expense increased by $2.3 million primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits expense driven by increases in salaries and wages, and noninterest income decreased by $1.8 million primarily driven by a decrease in loan-related interest rate swap fees due to lower transaction volumes.

LHFI, net of deferred fees and costs, for the Wholesale Banking segment increased $132.6 million or 4.7% (annualized) to $11.6 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022; growth primarily occurred across the commercial and industrial and construction and land development loan portfolios.
Wholesale banking deposits increased $35.8 million or 2.4% (annualized) to $6.2 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest checking accounts, partially offset by a decrease in money market balances and demand 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 investment management and advisory services businesses.

Consumer Banking income before income taxes increased $8.7 million to $16.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $8.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Net interest income increased $15.0 million primarily due to favorable funding credit on deposits and increased interest income attributable to the higher interest rate environment and higher average loan balances, offset by lower Paycheck Protection Program loan income and spread compression on loans. This increase was partially offset by a $4.4 million decrease in noninterest income primarily due to a decrease in fiduciary and asset management fees due to a decrease in assets under management primarily driven by the sale of DHFB in the second quarter of 2022 and a decrease in mortgage banking income due to a decline in mortgage loan origination volumes driven by the rapid increase in market interest rates during 2022 and continuing into the first quarter of 2023. In addition, noninterest expense increased by $1.7 million primarily due to an increase in FDIC assessment premiums and other insurance due to the increase in the FDIC assessment rates, effective January 1, 2023, and an increase in salaries and benefits expense, partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense due to the sale of DHFB and a decrease in occupancy expenses.

LHFI, net of deferred fees and costs, for the Consumer Banking segment increased $1.4 million or 0.2% (annualized) to $3.0 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022.
Consumer Banking deposits increased $119.0 million or 5.0% (annualized) to $9.8 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in time deposits, partially offset by a decrease in demand

deposits, interest checking accounts, and savings accounts, as customers moved funds from lower to higher yielding deposit products.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 17.0% and 17.5%, respectively. The marginal decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the higher proportion of tax-exempt income to pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2023.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview
Assets
At March 31, 2023, total assets were $20.1 billion, a decrease of $357.8 million or approximately 7.1% (annualized)
from December 31, 2022. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to a decline in the investment securities portfolio of $514.4 million, primarily due to the sale of AFS securities as part of the Company’s balance sheet repositioning strategy executed during the first quarter of 2023, which was partially offset by an increase in LHFI, net of deferred fees and costs, driven by loan growth.
LHFI, net of deferred fees and costs, were $14.6 billion at March 31, 2023, an increase of $135.1 million or 3.8% (annualized) from December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, quarterly average LHFI, net of deferred fees and costs, increased $388.2 million or 11.2% (annualized) from December 31, 2022.

Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
At March 31, 2023, total liabilities were $17.7 billion, a decrease of $425.3 million from $18.1 billion at December 31, 2022, which was primarily driven by a decrease in borrowings, partially offset by an increase in deposits.
Total deposits at March 31, 2023 were $16.5 billion, an increase of $524.2 million or approximately 13.3% (annualized) from December 31, 2022. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, quarterly average deposits decreased $194.5 million or 4.7% (annualized) compared to the prior quarter. Total deposits at March 31, 2023 increased from December 31, 2022 due to a $829.5 million increase in interest-bearing deposits, which includes approximately $377.9 million in brokered deposits, partially offset by a $305.2 million decrease in demand deposits, as customers have moved funds from lower to higher yielding products. Refer to “Deposits” within this Item 2 for additional information on this topic.
Total short-term and long-term borrowings at March 31, 2023 were $798.9 million, a decrease of $909.8 million or 53.2% when compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2022 as a result of the Company’s execution of the balance sheet repositioning strategy during the first quarter of 2023, which allowed the Company to reduce its short-term borrowings exposure. Refer to Note 6 “Borrowings” in Part I, Item 1, and “Executive Overview” in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report for additional information on our borrowing activity.
At March 31, 2023, stockholders’ equity was $2.4 billion, an increase of $67.5 million from December 31, 2022, primarily due to lower unrealized losses within the AFS securities portfolio. Our consolidated regulatory capital ratios continue to exceed the minimum capital requirements and are considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes. 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 our capital resources.

During the first quarter of 2023, 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 fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company also declared and paid cash dividends of $0.30 per common share, consistent with the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of $0.02 or approximately 7.1% from the first quarter of 2022 .
At March 31, 2023, the Company had no active share repurchase programs, as the most recent share repurchase program expired on December 9, 2022. Under that repurchase program, the Company repurchased an aggregate of approximately 1.3 million shares (or approximately $48.2 million) in 2022.
Securities
At March 31, 2023, the Company had total investments of $3.2 billion, or 15.9% of total assets, as compared to $3.7 billion, or 18.1% of total assets, at December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of AFS securities as part of the Company’s balance sheet repositioning executed during the first quarter of 2023, which was partially offset by growth in the Company’s HTM portfolio. 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.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company maintained a diversified municipal bond portfolio with approximately 68% 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 19% 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. The Company’s largest source of liquidity on a consolidated basis is the customer deposit base generated by our wholesale and consumer businesses. These deposits provide relatively stable and low-cost funding. Total deposits at March 31, 2023 were $16.5 billion, an increase of $524.2 million or approximately 13.3% (annualized) from December 31, 2022. Total deposits at March 31, 2023 increased from December 31, 2022 due to a $829.5 million increase in interest-bearing deposits, which includes approximately $377.9 million in brokered deposits, partially offset by a $305.2 million decrease in demand deposits, as customers have moved funds from lower to higher yielding products. Refer to “Deposits” within this Item 2 for additional information on this topic.
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.
Starting in the first quarter of 2023, the Company is eligible to borrow from the Federal Reserve's BTFP, which provides additional contingent liquidity through the pledging of certain qualifying securities. The BTFP is a one-year program ending March 11, 2024, and the Company can borrow any time during the term and can repay the obligation at any time without penalty. As of March 31, 2023, liquidity of $548.6 million was available based on the par-value of qualifying securities from BTFP. The Company did not utilize the available funds from BTFP as of March 31, 2023.
The Company closely monitors changes in the industry and market conditions that may impact the Company’s liquidity and will use other borrowing means or other liquidity and funding strategies sources to fund its liquidity needs as needed. 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 and developments in the banking industry that may change the availability of traditional sources of liquidity or market expectations with respect to available sources and amounts of additional liquidity.
As of March 31, 2023, liquid assets totaled $6.0 billion or 30.3% of total assets, and liquid earning assets totaled $5.9 billion or 32.4% of total earning assets. Asset liquidity is also provided by managing loan and securities maturities and cash flows. As of March 31, 2023, loan payments of approximately $5.4 billion or 37% of total loans are expected within one year based on contractual terms, adjusted for expected prepayments, and approximately $269.1 million or 8.4% 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. For additional information on cash requirements for known contractual and other obligations, please refer to “Capital Resources” 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.

Asset Quality
Overview
At March 31, 2023, NPAs as a percentage of LHFI increased 1 basis point from the prior quarter to 0.20% and included nonaccrual LHFI of $29.1 million. Net charge-offs were $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to insignificant net charge offs for the same period in the prior year. The ACL at March 31, 2023 increased $7.3 million from December 31, 2022 to $131.7 million, due to increasing uncertainty in the economic outlook and loan growth during the first quarter of 2023.
The Company continues to experience historically low levels of NPAs, however, the economic environment in the Company’s footprint could be impacted as persistent inflation, higher interest rates, 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.
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company transferred a nonaccrual commercial real estate loan, totaling $7.1 million, from LHFI to LHFS, resulting in nonaccrual loans totaling $36.2 million at March 31, 2023. The below amounts exclude LHFS.
Nonperforming Assets
At March 31, 2023, NPAs totaled $29.1 million, an increase of $2.0 million or 7.4% from December 31, 2022. NPAs as a percentage of total outstanding LHFI at March 31, 2023 were 0.20%, an increase of 1 bp from December 31, 2022.

Troubled Loan Modifications
The Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, effective January 1, 2023 on a prospective basis. Refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for information on the Company’s accounting policy for loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and how the Company defines TLMs. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had TLMs totaling $20.5 million.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
After the adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company no longer has TDRs. The below information is presented for December 31, 2022, prior to adoption of ASU 2022-02.
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
-70-
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 December 31, 2022 was $14.2 million. Of the $14.2 million of TDRs at December 31, 2022, $9.3 million or 65.3% were considered performing, while the remaining $4.9 million were considered nonperforming.
Net Charge-offs
For the first quarter of 2023, net charge-offs were $4.6 million or 0.13% of total average LHFI on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of less than 0.01% for the same quarter last year. The majority of net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2023 related to two commercial loans within the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios.
Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $11.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $9.1 million compared to the provision for credit losses of $2.8 million recorded during the same quarter of 2022. The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2023 reflected a provision of $10.4 million for loan losses and a $1.5 million provision for unfunded commitments. The increased provision for credit losses is due to increasing uncertainty in the economic outlook and loan growth in the first three months of 2023.
Allowance for Credit Losses
At March 31, 2023, the ACL was $131.7 million and included an ALLL of $116.5 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $15.2 million. The ACL at March 31, 2023 increased $7.3 million from December 31, 2022, due to increasing uncertainty in the economic outlook and loan growth during the first quarter of 2023.
The ACL as a percentage of LHFI increased to 0.90% at March 31, 2023, compared to 0.86% at December 31, 2022.

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.
Under the Basel III capital rules, the Company and the Bank must 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. The CECL transition amount will be phased out of regulatory capital over a three-year period, beginning 2022 and 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.

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 base 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. 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.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Sensitivity
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 Company’s asset liability committee is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to this risk. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves the guidelines established by the asset liability committee.
The Company monitors interest rate risk 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 the Company’s interest rate risk, the distribution of risk along the yield
-76-
curve, the level of risk through time, and the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships. The Company’s static gap analysis, which measures aggregate re-pricing values, is utilized less often because it does not effectively take into account the optionality embedded into many assets and liabilities and, therefore, the Company does not address it here. The Company uses earnings simulation and economic value simulation models on a regular basis, which more effectively measure the cash flow and optionality impacts, and these models are discussed 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 Modeling
Management uses earnings simulation modeling 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 the Company believes it provides a better analysis of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses, such as the static gap analysis noted above.
The Company derives the assumptions used in the model from historical trends and management’s outlook, including expected loan and deposit growth rates and projected yields and rates. These assumptions may not be realized and unanticipated events and circumstances may also occur that cause the assumptions to be inaccurate. The model also does not take into account any future actions of management to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes. The Company monitors the assumptions and periodically adjusts them as deemed appropriate. In the Company’s modeling, it is assumed that all maturities, calls, and prepayments in the securities portfolio are reinvested in like instruments, and the Company bases the MBS prepayment assumptions on industry estimates of prepayment speeds for portfolios with similar coupon ranges and seasoning. The Company also uses different interest rate scenarios and yield curves 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 these differences 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 March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022:

If an institution is asset sensitive its assets reprice more quickly than its liabilities and net interest income would be expected to increase in a rising interest rate environment, and decrease in a falling interest rate environment. If an institution is liability
-77-
sensitive its liabilities reprice more quickly than its assets and net interest income would be expected to decrease in a rising interest rate environment and increase in a falling interest rate environment.
From a net interest income perspective, the Company was less asset sensitive as of March 31, 2023, compared to its position as of March 31, 2022. 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 more quickly than interest-bearing deposits.
Economic Value Modeling
Economic value simulation modeling is used to calculate the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments. The Company calculates the economic values 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 Company uses the same assumptions in the economic value simulation model as in the earnings simulation model. The economic value simulation model uses instantaneous rate shocks to the balance sheet.
The following chart reflects the estimated change in net economic value over different rate environments using economic value simulation for the balances at the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022:

-300 basis points | | 5.90 | | 5.71 | | (12.13) |
As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s economic value of equity is generally less asset sensitive in a rising interest rate environment compared to its position as of March 31, 2022 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 March 31, 2023. 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 March 31, 2023, 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
-78-
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 March 31, 2023. There have been no changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of our operations, we are party to various legal proceedings. 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 or the financial condition or results of operations of the Company, subject to the potential outcomes of the matter discussed below.
As previously disclosed, on February 9, 2022, pursuant to the CFPB’s Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise process, the CFPB Office of Enforcement notified us that it is considering recommending that the CFPB take legal action against us in connection with alleged violations of Regulation E, 12 C.F.R. § 1005.17, and the Consumer Financial Protection Act, 12 U.S.C. §§ 5531 and 5536, in connection with our overdraft practices and policies. In March 2023, the CFPB commenced settlement discussions with us to resolve the matter. We cannot provide assurance whether a settlement will be reached, the final terms or timing of any such settlement, or the final amount of loss (potentially including both restitution and a civil money penalty) with respect to this matter. Any final loss could be materially different from our current estimate and accrued amount. If the Company and the CFPB do not reach a settlement, the CFPB may commence litigation against the Company. See Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, except as described below.
An investment in the Company’s securities involves risks. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, including the information addressed in this Item 1A and under “Forward-Looking Statements,” investors in the Company’s securities should carefully consider the factors discussed in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. These factors could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and capital position and could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from its historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report, in which case the trading price of the Company’s securities could decline.
Risks Related to Our Business, Industry and Markets
Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected by developments impacting the financial services industry, such as recent bank failures or concerns involving liquidity.
Recent events in the financial services industry (including the closures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank) have caused general uncertainty and concern regarding the adequacy of liquidity of the financial services industry generally. Liquidity is essential to our business. While we rely on different sources of funding to meet potential liquidity demands, our business strategies are largely based on access to funding from customer deposits and supplemental funding provided by wholesale or other secondary liquidity sources. Deposit levels may be affected by various industry factors, including interest rates paid by competitors, general interest rate levels, returns available to customers on alternative investments, conditions in the financial services industry specifically and general economic conditions that impact the amount of liquidity in the economy and savings levels, and also by factors that impact customers’ perception of our financial condition and capital and liquidity levels. In response to the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury approved actions enabling the FDIC to complete its resolution of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in a manner that fully protected depositors by utilizing the Deposit Insurance Fund, and the Federal Reserve announced it would make available additional funding for eligible depository institutions to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of their depositors. It is uncertain whether these steps by the banking regulators will be sufficient to calm the financial markets and financial services industry generally and reduce the risk of deposit outflows, and particularly sudden deposit outflows, from banks. This uncertainty may drive deposit outflows, increased borrowing and funding costs, and increased competition for liquidity, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
