INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations,
estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, many of
which are beyond our control.
 
The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,”
 
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,”
“target,” “goal,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties.
 
Our actual future results may differ materially from
those set forth in our forward-looking statements.
Our ability to
 
achieve our financial objectives
 
could be adversely affected
 
by the factors discussed
 
in detail in Part
 
I, Item 2. “Management’s
Discussion and
 
Analysis of Financial
 
Condition and
 
Results of Operations”
 
and Part II,
 
Item 1A. “Risk

our subsequent
 
quarterly reports
filed on Form 10-Q; and (c)
 
“Introduction” in “Management’s
 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
 
and Results of Operations,” in
Part II, Item 7, as well as:
the magnitude and duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global and local economies and financial market
conditions and our business, results of operations and financial condition, including the impact of our participation in government
programs related to COVID-19;
potential attrition due to the recent
 
U.S. presidential directive to OSHA that requires employers with 100 or more employees to ensure
that their employees are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or are tested weekly;
our ability to successfully manage credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other risks inherent to our industry;
legislative or regulatory changes;
changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government;
inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
the effects of security breaches and computer viruses that may affect our computer systems or fraud related to
 
debit card products;
the accuracy of our financial statement estimates and assumptions, including the estimates used for our allowance for credit losses,
deferred tax asset valuation and pension plan;
changes in accounting principles, policies, practices or guidelines;
the frequency and magnitude of foreclosure of our loans;
the effects of our lack of a diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations;
the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations;
 
our ability to declare and pay dividends, the payment of which is subject to our capital requirements;
changes in the securities and real estate markets;
structural changes in the markets for origination, sale and servicing of residential mortgages;
uncertainty in the pricing of residential mortgage loans that we sell, as well as competition for the mortgage servicing rights related to
these loans and related interest rate risk or price risk resulting from retaining mortgage servicing rights and the potential effects of
higher interest rates on our loan origination volumes;
the effect of corporate restructuring, acquisitions or dispositions, including the actual restructuring and other related charges
 
and the
failure to achieve the expected gains, revenue growth or expense savings from such corporate restructuring, acquisitions or dispositions;
the effects of natural disasters, harsh weather conditions (including hurricanes), widespread health emergencies,
 
military conflict,
terrorism, civil unrest or other geopolitical events;
our ability to comply with the extensive laws and regulations to which we are subject, including the laws for each jurisdiction where
we operate;
the willingness of clients to accept third-party products and services rather than our products and services and vice versa;
increased competition and its effect on pricing;
technological changes;
negative publicity and the impact on our reputation;
changes in consumer spending and saving habits;
growth and profitability of our noninterest income;
the limited trading activity of our common stock;
the concentration of ownership of our common stock;
anti-takeover provisions under federal and state law as well as our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws;
other risks described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and
our ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing.
However, other factors besides those listed in
Item 1A Risk Factors
 
or discussed in this Form 10-Q also could adversely affect our results,
and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
 
Any forward-looking
statements made by us or on our behalf speak only as of the date they are made.
 
We do not undertake to update any forward-looking
statement, except as required by applicable law.

CAPITAL CITY BANK
 
GROUP,
 
INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 –
BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
.
 
Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (“CCBG” or the “Company”) provides a full range of
 
banking and banking-
related services to individual and corporate clients through its subsidiary,
 
Capital City Bank, with banking offices located in Florida,
Georgia, and Alabama.
 
The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions, is subject to
 
regulation by certain
government agencies and undergoes periodic examinations
 
by those regulatory authorities.
Basis of Presentation
.
 
The consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form
 
10-Q include the accounts of CCBG
and its wholly owned subsidiary,
 
Capital City Bank (“CCB” or the “Bank”).
 
All material inter-company transactions and accounts
have been eliminated.
 
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s
 
presentation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
 
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
 
Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
 
accounting principles for complete financial
statements.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
 
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.
 
The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31,
 
2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial
statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes
 
required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.
 
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
 
footnotes thereto
included in the Company’s annual
 
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Acquisition.
 
On
April 30, 2021
, a newly formed subsidiary of CCBG, Capital City Strategic Wealth,
 
LLC (“CCSW”) acquired
substantially all of the assets of Strategic Wealth
 
Group, LLC and certain related businesses (“SWG”), including
 
advisory, service,
and insurance carrier agreements, and the assignment of all related revenues
 
thereof.
 
Under the terms of the purchase agreement,
SWG principles became officers of CCSW and will continue
 
the operation of their five offices in South Georgia
 
offering wealth
management services and comprehensive risk management
 
and asset protection services for individuals and businesses.
 
CCBG paid
$
4.4
 
million in cash consideration and recorded goodwill of $
2.8
 
million and a customer relationship intangible asset of $
1.6
 
million.
Accounting Standards Updates
ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic
 
848).
 
ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP
to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions
 
affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR
toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that
 
are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope
guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted
 
for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and
 
the
modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized
 
origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to
be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted
 
for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no
reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or re-measurements
 
of lease payments
 
that otherwise would be required
for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020
 
-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative
accounting.
 
ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December
 
31, 2022.
 
An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for
contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a
 
date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to
March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to
 
be issued.
 
Once elected for a Topic or
 
an Industry
Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied
 
prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for
that Topic or Industry
 
Subtopic.
 
It is anticipated this ASU will simplify any modifications executed between the
 
selected start date
(yet to be determined) and December 31, 2022 that are directly related to
 
LIBOR transition by allowing prospective recognition of the
continuation of the contract, rather than extinguishment of the old contract
 
resulting in writing off unamortized fees/costs.
 
Further,
ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic
 
848): Scope,”
clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 for
contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are
 
affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01
 
also
amends the expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 to capture the incremental
 
consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the
existing guidance to derivative instruments.
 
The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU and has not yet determined
 
if this
ASU will have material effects on the Company’s
 
business operations and consolidated financial statements.

Maturity Distribution
.
 
At September 30, 2021, the Company's investment securities had the following
 
maturity distribution based on
contractual maturity.
 
Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers
 
may have the right to call or
prepay obligations.
 
Mortgage-backed securities and certain amortizing U.S. government
 
agency securities are shown separately
because they are not due at a certain maturity date.

At September 30, 2021, there were
288
 
positions (combined Available-for-Sale
 
and Held-to-Maturity) with unrealized losses totaling
$
3.8
 
million.
206
 
of these positions were U.S. government agency securities issued by U.S. government
 
sponsored entities.
 
Municipal
securities totaled
29
 
positions.
 
The declines in the market value of these securities were attributable to changes in interest rates and
not credit quality.
 
The remaining
53
 
positions were corporate debt securities.
 
A majority of the decline in the market value of these
securities were attributable to changes in interest rates.
 
These investment securities had allowance for credit losses totaling $
16,000
 
at
September 30, 2021.
 
None of the securities held by the Company were past due or in nonaccrual status at
 
September 30, 2021.
 
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company monitors the credit quality of its investment securities through
 
various risk management procedures, including the
monitoring of credit ratings.
 
A majority of the debt securities in the Company’s
 
investment portfolio were issued by a U.S.
government entity or agency and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed
 
by the U.S. government.
 
The Company believes the
long history of no credit losses on these securities indicates that the expectation
 
of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero,
even if the U.S. government were to technically default.
 
Further, certain municipal securities held by the Company
 
have been pre-
refunded and secured by government guaranteed treasuries.
 
Therefore, for the aforementioned securities, the Company does not
assess or record expected credit losses due to the zero loss assumption.
 
The Company monitors the credit quality of its municipal
securities portfolio via credit ratings which are updated on a quarterly
 
basis.
 
On a quarterly basis, municipal securities in an
unrealized loss position are evaluated to determine if the loss is attributable to
 
credit related factors and if an allowance for credit loss
is needed.

net deferred loan fees were $
0.1

Accrued interest receivable on loans which is excluded from amortized
 
cost totaled $
5.6
 
million at September 30, 2021 and $
6.9
million at December 31, 2020, and is reported separately in Other Assets.
The Company has pledged a blanket floating lien on all 1-4 family residential mortgage
 
loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans,
and home equity loans to support available borrowing capacity at the FHLB of
 
Atlanta and has pledged a blanket floating lien on all
consumer loans, commercial loans, and construction loans to support available
 
borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta.
Loan Purchase and Sales
.
 
The Company will periodically purchase newly originated 1-4 family real
 
estate secured adjustable rate
loans from Capital City Home Loans (“CCHL”), a related party.
 
Residential loan purchases from CCHL totaled $
72.7
 
million for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2021, and were not credit impaired.
 
In addition, during the second quarter of 2021, the
Company acquired a pool of
10
 
individual commercial real estate loans from a third party bank that totaled $
17.4
 
million and were not
credit impaired.
The Company transferred $
9.4
 
million of home equity loans from HFI to HFS in the second quarter of 2021.
 
Allowance for Credit Losses
.
 
The allowance for credit losses is calculated in accordance with the current expected
 
credit loss model,
ASC 326 (“CECL”), which was adopted on January 1, 2020.
 
The allowance has two basic components: first, an asset-specific
component involving loans that do not share risk characteristics and the measurement
 
of expected credit losses for such individual
loans; and second, a pooled component for expected credit losses for pools of
 
loans that share similar risk characteristics.
 
This
allowance methodology is discussed further in Note 1 – Business and
 
Basis of Presentation/Significant Accounting Policies in the
Company’s 2020 Form 10-K.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, the allowance for
 
HFI loans decreased by $
2.3
 
million and reflected a negative
provision of $
3.0
 
million and net loan recoveries of $
0.7
 
million.
 
The negative provision generally reflected improving economic
conditions (primarily a lower rate of unemployment and its potential effect
 
on rates of default), favorable problem loan migration, and
strong net loan recoveries.
 
Three unemployment rate forecast scenarios were utilized to estimate probability
 
of default and were
weighted based on management’s
 
estimate of probability.
 
The mitigating impact of the unprecedented fiscal stimulus as well as
various government sponsored loan programs, was also considered.
 
See Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies for information on
the allowance for off-balance sheet credit commitments.

Nonaccrual Loans
.
 
Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments
 
become 90 days past due and/or
management deems the collectability of the principal and/or interest to
 
be doubtful.
 
Loans are returned to accrual status when the
principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current
 
or when future payments are reasonably assured.
 
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans in nonaccrual
 
status and loans past due over 90 days and still on accrual

A loan is collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing
 
financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is dependent on
 
the
sale or operation of the underlying collateral.
 
The Bank’s collateral dependent
 
loan portfolio is comprised primarily of real estate secured loans, collateralized
 
by either residential
or commercial collateral types.
 
The loans are carried at fair value based on current values determined by
 
either independent appraisals
or internal evaluations, adjusted for selling costs or other amounts to be deducted
 
when estimating expected net sales proceeds.
 
Residential Real Estate Loans In Process of Foreclosure
.
 
At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $
1.4
million and $
1.6
 
million, respectively, in
 
1-4 family residential real estate loans for which formal foreclosure proceedings were
 
in
process.
Troubled
 
Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”).
 
At September 30, 2021, the Company had $
8.5
 
million in TDRs, of which $
7.9

performing in accordance with the modified terms.
 
At December 31, 2020 the Company had $
14.3
 
million in TDRs, of which $
13.9
million were performing in accordance with modified terms.
 
For TDRs, the Company estimated $
0.3
 
million and $
0.6
 
million of
credit loss reserves at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The modifications made to TDRs involved either an extension of the loan term, a principal moratorium,
 
a reduction in the interest rate,
or a combination thereof.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, there
 
were
no
 
loans modified.
 
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, there were
three
 
loans modified with a recorded investment of $
0.6
 
million.
 
For
the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, there were
three
 
loans modified with a recorded investment of $
0.2
 
million.
 
For the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2021,
 
there were
no
 
loans classified as TDRs, for which there was a
payment default and the loans were modified within the 12 months
 
prior to default.
 
For the three and nine month period ended
September 30, 2020, there were
no
 
loans classified as TDRs, for which there was a payment default and the loans
 
were modified
within the 12 months prior to default.
Credit Risk Management
.
 
The Company has adopted comprehensive lending policies, underwriting standards and
 
loan review
procedures designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable
 
level of risk.
 
Management and the Board of Directors review and
approve these policies and procedures on a regular basis (at least annually).
 
Reporting systems are used to monitor loan originations, loan quality,
 
concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming
loans and potential problem loans.
 
Management and the Credit Risk Oversight Committee periodically
 
review our lines of business to
monitor asset quality trends and the appropriateness of credit policies.
 
In addition, total borrower exposure limits are established and
concentration risk is monitored.
 
As part of this process, the overall composition of the portfolio is reviewed to gauge
 
diversification
of risk, client concentrations, industry group, loan type, geographic
 
area, or other relevant classifications of loans.
 
Specific segments
of the loan portfolio are monitored and reported to the Board on a quarterly
 
basis and have strategic plans in place to supplement
Board approved credit policies governing exposure limits and underwriting
 
standards.
 
Detailed below are the types of loans within
the Company’s loan portfolio
 
and risk characteristics unique to each.
 
Commercial, Financial, and Agricultural – Loans in this category
 
are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower
with consideration given to underlying collateral and personal or
 
other guarantees.
 
Lending policy establishes debt service coverage
ratio limits that require a borrower’s cash flow to be sufficient
 
to cover principal and interest payments on all new and existing debt.
 
The majority of these loans are secured by the assets being financed or other
 
business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory,
 
or
equipment.
 
Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations.
 
Loan to value ratios at origination are
governed by established policy guidelines.
 
 
 
 
 
16
Real Estate Construction – Loans in this category consist of short-term
 
construction loans, revolving and non-revolving credit lines
and construction/permanent loans made to individuals and investors to
 
finance the acquisition, development, construction or
rehabilitation of real property.
 
These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower
 
or project and generally
secured by the property being financed, including 1-4 family residential properties
 
and commercial properties that are either owner-
occupied or investment in nature.
 
These properties may include either vacant or improved property.
 
Construction loans are generally
based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed
 
project.
 
Collateral values are determined based upon third
party appraisals and evaluations.
 
Loan to value ratios at origination are governed by established policy
 
guidelines.
 
The disbursement
of funds for construction loans is made in relation to the progress of the project
 
and as such these loans are closely monitored by on-
site inspections.
 
Real Estate Commercial Mortgage – Loans in this category consists of commercial
 
mortgage loans secured by property that is either
owner-occupied or investment in nature.
 
These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower or
 
project
with consideration given to underlying real estate collateral and
 
personal guarantees.
 
Lending policy establishes debt service
coverage ratios and loan to value ratios specific to the property type.
 
Collateral values are determined based upon third party
appraisals and evaluations.
 
Real Estate Residential – Residential mortgage loans held in the Company’s
 
loan portfolio are made to borrowers that demonstrate the
ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting
 
factors such as current income, employment status, current
assets, and other financial resources, credit history,
 
and the value of the collateral.
 
Collateral consists of mortgage liens on 1-4 family
residential properties.
 
Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations.
 
The Company does not
originate sub-prime loans.
 
Real Estate Home Equity – Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified
 
individuals for legitimate purposes generally secured
by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied
 
1-4 family homes or vacation homes.
 
Borrower qualifications include
favorable credit history combined with supportive income and debt ratio
 
requirements and combined loan to value ratios within
established policy guidelines.
 
Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations.
 
Consumer Loans – This loan portfolio includes personal installment loans,
 
direct and indirect automobile financing, and overdraft
lines of credit.
 
The majority of the consumer loan portfolio consists of indirect and direct automobile
 
loans.
 
Lending policy
establishes maximum debt to income ratios, minimum credit scores, and
 
includes guidelines for verification of applicants’ income and
receipt of credit reports.
Credit Quality Indicators
.
 
As part of the ongoing monitoring of the Company’s
 
loan portfolio quality, management
 
categorizes loans
into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers
 
to service their debt such as: current financial
information, historical payment performance, credit documentation,
 
and current economic and market trends, among other
factors.
 
Risk ratings are assigned to each loan and revised as needed through established monitoring
 
procedures for individual loan
relationships over a predetermined amount and review of smaller balance homogenous
 
loan pools.
 
The Company uses the definitions
noted below for categorizing and managing its criticized loans.
 
Loans categorized as “Pass” do not meet the criteria set forth below
and are not considered criticized.
Special Mention – Loans in this category are presently protected from loss, but
 
weaknesses are apparent which, if not corrected, could
cause future problems.
 
Loans in this category may not meet required underwriting criteria and
 
have no mitigating factors.
 
More than
the ordinary amount of attention is warranted for these loans.
Substandard – Loans in this category exhibit well-defined weaknesses that would
 
typically bring normal repayment into jeopardy.
These loans are no longer adequately protected due to well-defined
 
weaknesses that affect the repayment capacity of the
borrower.
 
The possibility of loss is much more evident and above average supervision is required
 
for these loans.
Doubtful – Loans in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan
 
categorized as Substandard, with the characteristic that
the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of
 
currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly
questionable and improbable.
Performing/Nonperforming – Loans within certain homogenous
 
loan pools (home equity and consumer) are not individually reviewed,
but are monitored for credit quality via the aging status of the loan and
 
by payment activity.
 
The performing or nonperforming status
is updated on an on-going basis dependent upon improvement
 
and deterioration in credit quality.

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES
The Company’s mortgage
 
banking activities at its subsidiary,
 
CCHL, include mandatory delivery loan sales, forward sales contracts
used to manage residential loan pipeline price risk, utilization of
 
warehouse lines to fund secondary market residential loan closings,
and residential mortgage servicing.
 
For the nine month period of 2020, information provided below reflects CCHL activities
 
for the
period March 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020 and CCB legacy residential
 
real estate activities for the period January 1, 2020 to March
1, 2020.
 
All quarterly information subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 includes CCHL activity.
Residential Mortgage Loan Production
The Company originates, markets, and services conventional and
 
government-sponsored residential mortgage loans.
 
Generally,
conforming fixed rate residential mortgage loans are held for sale in the
 
secondary market and non-conforming and adjustable-rate
residential mortgage loans may be held for investment.
 
The volume of residential mortgage loans originated for sale and secondary
market prices are the primary drivers of origination revenue.
Residential mortgage loan commitments are generally outstanding for 30
 
to 90 days, which represents the typical period from
commitment
 
to originate a residential mortgage loan to when the closed loan is sold to an investor.
 
Residential mortgage loan
commitments are subject to both credit and price risk.
 
Credit risk is managed through underwriting policies and procedures, including
collateral requirements, which are generally accepted by the secondary
 
loan markets.
 
Price risk is primarily related to interest rate
fluctuations and is partially managed through forward sales of residential
 
mortgage-backed securities (primarily to-be announced
securities, or TBAs) or mandatory delivery commitments with investors.
 
The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans held for sale,
 
notional amounts of derivative contracts related to residential
mortgage loan commitments and forward contract sales and their related
 
fair values are set- forth below.

Conforming conventional loans serviced by the Company are sold to FNMA on
 
a non-recourse basis, whereby foreclosure losses are
generally the responsibility of FNMA and not the Company.
 
The government loans serviced by the Company are secured through
GNMA, whereby the Company is insured against loss by the Federal Housing
 
Administration or partially guaranteed against loss by
the Veterans
 
Administration.
 
At September 30, 2021, the servicing portfolio balance consisted of
 
the following loan types: FNMA
(
60
%), GNMA (
9
%), and private investor (
31
%).
 
FNMA and private investor loans are structured as actual/actual payment
remittance.
 
The Company had $

million and $
4.9
 
million in delinquent residential mortgage loans currently in GNMA pools
 
serviced by the
Company at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
 
The right to repurchase these loans and the corresponding
liability has been recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively,
 
in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
 
For the three month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company
 
did
no
t repurchase any delinquent residential loans currently in
GNMA pools.
 
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased

A separate third party model is used to estimate prepayment speeds based on interest rates, housing
 
turnover rates,
estimated loan curtailment, anticipated defaults, and other relevant factors.
 
The weighted average annual prepayment speed was

Warehouse
 
line borrowings are classified as short-term borrowings.
 
At September 30, 2021, the Company had mortgage loans held
for sale pledged as collateral under the above warehouse lines of credit and
 
master repurchase agreements.
 
The above agreements also
contain covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance
 
of minimum tangible net worth, minimum
liquid assets, maximum debt to net worth ratio and positive net income,
 
as defined in the agreements.
 
The Company was in
compliance with all significant debt covenants
 
at September 30, 2021.
 
The Company has extended a $
50
 
million warehouse line of credit to CCHL, a
51
% owned subsidiary entity.
 
Balances and
transactions under this line of credit are eliminated in the Company’s
 
consolidated financial statements and thus not included in the
total short term borrowings noted on the Consolidated Statement of
 
Financial Condition.
 
The balance of this line of credit at
September 30, 2021 was $
27.0
 
million.
NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVES
 
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures
 
that arise from business activities that result in the
receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of
 
which are determined by interest rates.
 
The Company’s
derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in
 
the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s
 
known or
expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally
 
related to the Company’s subordinated
 
debt.
 
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $
30
 
million at September 30, 2021 were designed as a cash flow hedge for
subordinated debt.
 
Under the swap arrangement, the Company will pay a fixed interest rate of
2.50
% and receive a variable interest
rate based on three-month LIBOR plus a weighted average margin
 
of
1.83
%.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate
 
risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently
 
reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during
which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported
 
in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives
will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the
 
Company’s variable-rate subordinated
 
debt.

NOTE 6 – LEASES
Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating
 
lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating
liabilities, included in other assets and liabilities, respectively,
 
on its consolidated statement of financial condition.
 
The Company’s operating
 
leases primarily relate to banking offices with remaining lease terms
 
from
1
 
to
44
 
years.
 
The Company’s
leases are not complex and do not contain residual value guarantees, variable
 
lease payments, or significant assumptions or judgments
made in applying the requirements of Topic
 
842.
 
Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the
balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 
At September 30, 2021, the
operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were $
11.9
 
million and $
12.5
 
million, respectively.
 
The Company does not have any
finance leases or any significant lessor agreements.
The table below summarizes our lease expense and other information related
 
to the Company’s operating leases.

NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time
 
and eligible part-time associates and a
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) and a Supplemental
 
Executive Retirement Plan II (“SERP II”) covering its
executive officers.
 
The defined benefit plan was amended in December 2019 to remove plan eligibility
 
for new associates hired after
December 31, 2019.
 
The SERP II was adopted by the Company’s
 
Board on May 21, 2020 and covers certain executive officers that
were not covered by the SERP.
 
The components of the net periodic benefit cost for the Company's qualified

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lending Commitments
.
 
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off
 
-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business
to meet the financing needs of its clients.
 
These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby
 
letters of
credit.
The Company’s maximum exposure
 
to credit loss under standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented
 
by
the contractual amount of those instruments.
 
The Company uses the same credit policies in establishing commitments
 
and issuing
letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
 
The amounts associated with the Company’s
 
off-balance sheet
obligations were as follows:

Commitments include unfunded loans, revolving
 
lines of credit, and off-balance sheet residential
 
loan commitments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of
 
any condition established in the
contract.
 
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
 
clauses and may require payment of a fee.
 
Since
many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn
 
upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by
 
the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third
party.
 
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved
 
in extending loan facilities. In
general, management does not anticipate any material losses as a result
 
of participating in these types of transactions.
 
However, any
potential losses arising from such transactions are reserved for in the same manner
 
as management reserves for its other credit
facilities.
For both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments, the Company
 
requires collateral to support such instruments when it is
deemed necessary.
 
The Company evaluates each client’s
 
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.
 
The amount of collateral
obtained upon extension of credit is based on management’s
 
credit evaluation of the counterparty.
 
Collateral held varies, but may
include deposits held in financial institutions; U.S. Treasury
 
securities; other marketable securities; real estate; accounts receivable;
property, plant and
 
equipment; and inventory.

The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit commitments
 
that are not unconditionally cancellable by the bank is
adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense and is recorded in other liabilities.

allowance.

.
 
The Company is a party to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business.
 
In management's opinion,
there are no known pending claims or litigation, the outcome of which
 
would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect
on the consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows
 
of the Company.
Indemnification Obligation
.
 
The Company is a member of the Visa U.S.A. network.
 
Visa U.S.A member banks are
 
required to
indemnify the Visa U.S.A.
 
network for potential future settlement of certain litigation (the “Covered Litigation”)
 
that relates to several
antitrust lawsuits challenging the practices of Visa
 
and MasterCard International.
 
In 2008, the Company, as a member
 
of the Visa
U.S.A. network, obtained Class B shares of Visa,
 
Inc. upon its initial public offering.
 
Since its initial public offering, Visa,
 
Inc. has
funded a litigation reserve for the Covered Litigation resulting in a reduction
 
in the Class B shares held by the Company.
 
During the
first quarter of 2011, the Company sold its remaining
 
Class B shares.
 
Associated with this sale, the Company entered into a swap
contract with the purchaser of the shares that requires a payment to the
 
counterparty in the event that Visa, Inc.
 
makes subsequent
revisions to the conversion ratio for its Class B shares.
 
Fixed charges included in the swap liability are payable quarterly
 
until the litigation reserve is fully liquidated and at which time the
aforementioned swap contract will be terminated.
 
Quarterly fixed payments approximate $
206,000
.
 
Conversion ratio payments and
ongoing fixed quarterly charges are reflected in earnings
 
in the period incurred.
NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE
 
MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid
 
to transfer that liability in an orderly
transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in
 
the absence of a principal market) for such asset or
liability.
 
In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with
 
the market approach, the income
approach and/or the cost approach.
 
Such valuation techniques are consistently applied.
 
Inputs to valuation techniques include the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
 
ASC Topic 820
 
establishes a fair value hierarchy for
valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets
 
for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs.
 
The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting
 
entity has the
ability to access at the measurement date
.
Level 2 Inputs -
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
 
either directly
or indirectly. These might
 
include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices
 
for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other
 
than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or
liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
 
or inputs that are derived principally from, or
corroborated, by market data by correlation or other means
.
Level 3 Inputs -
Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an
 
entity's own
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would
 
use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
 
on a Recurring Basis
Securities Available for Sale.
 
U.S. Treasury securities are reported at fair value
 
utilizing Level 1 inputs.
 
Other securities classified as
available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs.
 
For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements
from an independent pricing service.
 
The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes,
 
market
spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve,
 
live trading levels, trade execution data, credit information and the bond’s
 
terms
and conditions, among other things.
25
In general, the Company does not purchase securities that have a complicated structure.
 
The Company’s entire portfolio consists
 
of
traditional investments, nearly all of which are U.S. Treasury
 
obligations, federal agency bullet or mortgage pass-through
 
securities, or
general obligation or revenue-based municipal bonds.
 
Pricing for such instruments is easily obtained.
 
At least annually, the Company
will validate prices supplied by the independent pricing service by compari
 
ng them to prices obtained from an independent third-party
source.
Loans Held for Sale
.
 
The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale based on Level 2 inputs is determined,
 
when possible,
using either quoted secondary-market prices or investor commitments.
 
If no such quoted price exists, the fair value is determined
using quoted prices for a similar asset or assets, adjusted for the specific attributes of
 
that loan, which would be used by other market
participants.
 
The Company has elected the fair value option accounting for its held for sale loans.
Mortgage Banking Derivative Instruments.
 
The fair values of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are derived by valuation
models incorporating market pricing for instruments with similar characteristics,
 
commonly referred to as best execution pricing, or
investor commitment prices for best effort IRLCs which have
 
unobservable inputs, such as an estimate of the fair value of the
servicing rights expected to be recorded upon sale of the loans, net estimated costs to originate
 
the loans, and the pull-through rate,
and are therefore classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
 
The fair value of forward sale commitments is based on
observable market pricing for similar instruments and are therefore
 
classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Interest Rate Swap.
The Company’s derivative positions
 
are classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and are valued
 
using
models generally accepted in the financial services industry and
 
that use actively quoted or observable market input values from
external market data providers.
 
The fair value derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow models.
 
Fair Value
 
Swap
.
 
The Company entered into a stand-alone derivative contract with the purchaser of
 
its Visa Class B shares.
 
The
valuation represents the amount due and payable to the counterparty based upon
 
the revised share conversion rate, if any,
 
during the
period.

Mortgage Banking Activities
.
 
The Company had Level 3 issuances and transfers related to mortgage
 
banking activities of $
26.2
million and $
38.6
 
million, respectively,
 
for the nine month period ending September 30, 2021 and $
34.0
 
million and $
40.3
 
million,
respectively, for the
 
period March 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020.
 
Issuances are valued based on the change in fair value of the
underlying mortgage loan from inception of the IRLC to the balance
 
sheet date, adjusted for pull-through rates and costs to originate.
 
IRLCs transferred out of Level 3 represent IRLCs that were funded and moved
 
to mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value.
Assets Measured at Fair Value
 
on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (i.e., the
 
assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis
but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances).
 
An example would be assets exhibiting evidence of impairment.
 
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for
 
assets measured on a non-recurring basis.
 
Collateral Dependent Loans
.
 
Impairment for collateral dependent loans is measured using the fair
 
value of the collateral less selling
costs.
 
The fair value of collateral is determined by an independent valuation
 
or professional appraisal in conformance with banking
regulations.
 
Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs due to the volatility in the real estate market,
 
and the judgment and
estimation involved in the real estate appraisal process.
 
Collateral dependent loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly
basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.
 
Valuation
 
techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior
periods.
 
Collateral-dependent loans had a carrying value of $
2.6
 
million with a valuation allowance of $
0.1
 
million at September 30,
2021 and $
7.1
 
million and $
0.1
 
million, respectively,
 
at December 31, 2020.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
27
Other Real Estate Owned
.
 
During the first nine months of 2021, certain foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition,
 
were measured and
reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance
 
for credit losses based on the fair value of the foreclosed asset less
estimated cost to sell.
 
The fair value of the foreclosed asset is determined by an independent valuation
 
or professional appraisal in
conformance with banking regulations.
 
On an ongoing basis, we obtain updated appraisals on foreclosed assets and realize valuation
adjustments as necessary.
 
The fair value of foreclosed assets is estimated using Level 3 inputs due to the judgment
 
and estimation
involved in the real estate valuation process.

Residential mortgage loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment
 
at each reporting period based
upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying amount.
 
Fair value is determined by a third party valuation model using
estimated prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgage loans serviced and
 
stratifications based on the risk characteristics of the
underlying loans (predominantly loan type and note interest rate).
 
The fair value is estimated using Level 3 inputs, including a
discount rate, weighted average prepayment speed, and the cost of loan
 
servicing.
 
Further detail on the key inputs utilized are
provided in Note 4 – Mortgage Banking Activities.
 
At September 30, 2021, there was
no
 
valuation allowance for loan servicing
rights.
 
Assets and Liabilities Disclosed at Fair Value
The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments,
 
both assets and liabilities, for which it is
practical to estimate fair value and the following is a description of valuation
 
methodologies used for those assets and liabilities.
A summary of estimated fair values of significant financial instruments consisted

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
 
OF
OPERATIONS
Management’s discussion
 
and analysis ("MD&A") provides supplemental information, which sets forth
 
the major factors that have
affected our financial condition and results of operations
 
and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes.
 
The following information should provide a better understanding of
 
the major factors and trends that
affect our earnings performance and financial condition,
 
and how our performance during 2021 compares with prior years.
 
Throughout this section, Capital City Bank Group, Inc., and subsidiaries, collectively,
 
is referred to as "CCBG," "Company,"
 
"we,"
"us," or "our."
CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD
 
-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this MD&A section, contains
 
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
 
These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about
 
our
beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates and intentions that are
 
subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are
subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond
 
our control.
 
The words "may," "could,"
 
"should," "would,"
"believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "target,"
 
"goal," and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties.
 
Our actual future results may differ materially
from those set forth in our forward-looking statements.
 
Please see the Introductory Note and
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
of our 2020
Report on Form 10-K, as updated in our subsequent quarterly reports filed on Form
 
10-Q, and in our other filings made from time to
time with the SEC after the date of this report.
However, other factors besides those listed in
 
our Quarterly Report or in our Annual Report also could adversely affect
 
our results,
and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or
 
uncertainties.
 
Any forward-looking
statements made by us or on our behalf speak only as of the date they are made.
 
We do not undertake to
 
update any forward-looking
statement, except as required by applicable law.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a financial
 
holding company headquartered in Tallahassee,
 
Florida, and we are the parent of our wholly owned subsidiary,
Capital City Bank (the "Bank" or "CCB").
 
The Bank offers a broad array of products and services through
 
a total of 57 full-service
offices located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.
 
The Bank offers commercial and retail banking services, as well
 
as trust and asset
management, retail securities brokerage,
 
and life insurance.
 
We offer
 
residential mortgage banking services through Capital City
Home Loans.
Our profitability, like
 
most financial institutions, is dependent to a large extent upon net
 
interest income, which is the difference
between the interest and fees received on earning assets, such as loans and securities,
 
and the interest paid on interest-bearing
liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings.
 
Results of operations are also affected by the provision for credit
 
losses, noninterest
income such as deposit fees, wealth management fees, mortgage banking fees
 
and bank card fees, and operating expenses such as
salaries and employee benefits, occupancy,
 
and other operating expenses, including income taxes.
A detailed discussion regarding the economic conditions in our markets and
 
our long-term strategic objectives is included as part of
the MD&A section of our 2020 Form 10-K.
Acquisitions
 
On March 1, 2020, CCB completed its acquisition of a 51% membership
 
interest in Brand Mortgage Group, LLC (“Brand”) which is
now operated as a Capital City Home Loans (“CCHL”).
 
CCHL was consolidated into CCBG’s financial
 
statements effective March
1, 2020.
 
See Note 1 – Business Combination in the 2020 Form 10-K in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On April 30, 2021, a newly formed subsidiary of CCBG, Capital City Strategic
 
Wealth, LLC
 
(“CCSW”), completed its acquisition of
substantially all of the assets of Strategic Wealth
 
Group, LLC and certain related businesses (“SWG”).
 
CCSW was consolidated into
CCBG’s financial statements
 
effective May 1, 2021.
 
See Note 1 – Business and Basis of Presentation.
 
RESPONSE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC
At this time, all of our banking offices have returned to normal banking
 
hours and lobby services and some back-office associates
work remotely while others have returned to an office.
 
Although the ongoing global and local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic
continue to impact our clients and associates as they adjust to the changing conditions
 
presented by the pandemic, we continue to
closely monitor COVID-19 and adjust our operations, as needed.
 
In addition, we have set a date (November 22, 2021) to comply with
a recent U.S. presidential directive to OSHA to have associates vaccinated
 
against COVID-19 or be tested weekly.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We present a tangible
 
common equity ratio and a tangible book value per diluted share that, in each case,
 
reduces shareowners’ equity
and total assets by the amount of goodwill and other identifiable intangi
 
ble assets resulting from merger and acquisition activity.
 
We
believe these measures
 
are useful to investors because it allows investors to more easily compare
 
our capital adequacy to other
companies in the industry,
 
although the manner in which we calculate non-GAAP financial measures may
 
differ from that of other
companies reporting non-GAAP measures with similar names.
 
The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation for each quarter presented on
page 31 is provided below.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Results of Operations
Performance Summary.
 
Net income of $10.1 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021
 
compared to net income
of $7.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 202
 
1, and $10.4 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the third
quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, net income totaled $27.0 million, or $1.60 per
 
diluted share, compared to net
income of $23.8 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, for the same period of 2020.
 
Net income for 2021 included partial pre-tax pension
settlement charges totaling $2.5 million (3Q - $0.5 million
 
and 2Q - $2.0 million), or $0.12 per diluted share (after tax).
Net Interest Income.
 
Tax-equivalent net
 
interest income for the third quarter of 2021
 
was $27.7 million compared to $26.1 million for
the second quarter of 2021 and $25.2 million for the third quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, tax-equivalent net
interest income totaled $78.4 million compared to $76.7 million for the
 
same period of 2020.
 
Higher SBA PPP fees/interest and a
better earning asset mix drove the improvement over the second quarter
 
of 2021.
 
For the nine month period, the increase generally
reflected higher SBA PPP loan fees/interest and lower interest expense, partially
 
offset by lower rates earned on investment securities
and variable/adjustable rate loans.
Provision and Allowance for Credit
 
Losses.
 
A provision for credit losses was not recorded for the third quarter of 2021.
 
This
compares to a negative provision of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2021
 
and provision expense of $1.3 million for the third
quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, we recorded a negative provision of $1.6 million
 
compared
 
to provision expense of
$8.3 million for the same period of 2020.
 
The negative provision for the first nine months of 2021 generally reflected improving
economic conditions,
 
favorable loan migration and strong net loan recoveries totaling $0.7 million.
Noninterest Income.
 
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $26.6 million compared
 
to $26.5 million for the second
quarter of 2021 and $35.0 million for the third quarter of 2020.
 
The slight increase over the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due
to higher deposit fees of $0.8 million and wealth management fees of
 
$0.3 million, partially offset by lower mortgage banking
revenues of $0.9 million.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, noninterest income totaled $82.9 million
 
compared to $80.6 million for
the same period of 2020 with the increase driven by higher wealth management
 
fees of $2.0 million, bank card fees of $1.8 million,
deposit fees of $0.5 million, and other income of $0.9 million (primarily
 
loan servicing income at CCHL), partially offset by lower
mortgage banking revenues of $3.0 million.
 
Noninterest Expense.
 
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $39.7 million compared
 
to $42.1 million for the second
quarter of 2021 and $40.3 million for the third quarter of 2020.
 
The $2.4 million decrease from the second quarter of 2021 reflected a
pension settlement charge of $2.0 million in the second quarter of
 
2021 versus $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2021.
 
In addition,
OREO expense declined by $0.9 million due to a gain on the sale of a banking
 
office in the third quarter of 2021.
 
For the first nine
months of 2021, noninterest expense totaled $122.3 million compared
 
to $108.6 million for the same period of 2020.
 
The $13.7
million increase was attributable to the addition of expenses at CCHL (acquired
 
March 1, 2020) of $6.7 million as well as higher
expenses at the core bank totaling $7.0 million driven primarily by
 
partial pension settlement charges of $2.5 million, annual merit
raises, debit card processing costs (volume related),
 
and professional fees, and FDIC insurance.
 
Financial Condition
Earning Assets.
 
Average earning assets were
 
$3.693 billion for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $69.2 million,
 
or 1.9%, over
the second quarter of 2021, and an increase of $355.7 million, or 10.7% over
 
the fourth quarter of 2020.
 
The increase over both prior
periods was primarily driven by higher deposit balances, which funded growth
 
in the investment portfolio.
 
Deposit balances increased
as a result of strong core deposit growth, in addition to funding retained
 
at the bank from SBA PPP loans, and various other stimulus
programs.
 
Loans
.
 
Average loans held for investment
 
(“HFI”) decreased $62.6 million, or 3.1%, from the second quarter of
 
2021 and $19.3
million, or 1.0%, from the fourth quarter of 2020.
 
Excluding SBA PPP loans, average loans increased $34.9 million and $125.2
million and period end loans increased $5.1 million and $102.8
 
million, respectively, over the
 
prior periods. Compared to the second
quarter of 2021, the increase in period end loans reflected growth in construction
 
and indirect loans, partially offset by a decline in
commercial real estate.
 
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, we realized growth in construction, residential,
 
commercial real
estate and indirect loans.
 
Credit Quality
.
 
Nonaccrual loans totaled $3.0 million (0.16% of HFI loans) at September 30, 2021
 
compared to $5.1 million (0.25%
of HFI loans) at June 30, 2021 and $5.9 million (0.29% of HFI loans) at
 
December 31, 2020.
 
Classified loans totaled $16.3 million,
$19.4 million, and $17.6
 
million at the same respective periods.
 
Deposits
.
 
Average total
 
deposits increased $60.3 million, or 1.8%, over the second quarter of 2021,
 
and
 
$381.6 million, or 12.4%,
over the fourth quarter of 2020.
 
Over the past 12 months, multiple government stimulus programs have
 
been implemented, including
the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act, which are responsible
 
for a large portion of this growth.

Capital
.
 
At September 30, 2021, we were well-capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio
 
of 16.70% and a tangible common
equity ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) of 6.46% compared to
 
16.48% and 6.19%, respectively,
 
at June 30, 2021 and 17.30%
and 6.25%, respectively,
 
at December 31, 2020.
 
At September 30, 2021, all of our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the threshold
 
to
be well-capitalized under the Basel III capital standards.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents our single largest source of earnings
 
and is equal to interest income and fees generated by earning
assets less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities.
 
This information is provided on a "taxable equivalent" basis to reflect
the tax-exempt status of income earned on certain loans and state and local
 
government debt obligations.
 
We provide an analysis of
our net interest income including average yields and rates in Table
 
I on page 43.
Tax-equivalent net
 
interest income for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $27.7 million compared
 
to $26.1 million for the second quarter
of 2021 and $25.2 million for the third quarter of 2020.
 
Compared to the second quarter of 2021, the increase reflected higher
 
loan
fees of $1.3 million (SBA PPP loan fees increased $1.0 million) and
 
higher investment securities income of $0.3 million, which
reflected deployment of excess overnight funds into the investment portfolio.
 
Also, as compared to the second quarter of 2021, lower
loan interest income from SBA PPP loans was offset by loan interest
 
income from growth in non-SBA PPP loans.
 
Compared to the
third quarter of 2020, the increase was primarily attributable to higher SBA PPP loan fees
 
of $2.5
 
million.
 
For the first nine months of
2021, tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $78.4 million compared
 
to $76.7 million for the same period of 2020.
 
The increase
generally reflected higher SBA PPP loan fees/interest and lower interest expense,
 
partially offset by lower rates earned on investment
securities and variable/adjustable rate loans.
Our net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 2.98%, an increase
 
of nine basis points over the second quarter of 2021 and a
decrease of 14 basis points from the third quarter of 2020.
 
Compared to the second quarter of 2021, the increase was primarily driven
by higher SBA PPP loan fees/interest.
 
Compared to the third quarter of 2020, the decrease was primarily attributable
 
to growth in
earning assets (driven by deposit inflows), which negatively impacted our
 
margin percentage.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, the
net interest margin decreased 51 basis points to 2.91%,
 
which generally reflected growth in earning assets.
 
Our net interest margin for
the third quarter of 2021, excluding the impact of overnight funds in excess of $200
 
million, was 3.50%.
 
Due to highly competitive fixed-rate loan pricing in our markets, we continue
 
to review our loan pricing and make adjustments where
we believe appropriate and prudent.

Provision for Credit Losses
We did not
 
record a provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2021.
 
This compares to a negative provision of $0.6 million for
the second quarter of 2021 and provision expense of $1.3 million for the third
 
quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, we
recorded a negative provision of $1.6 million compared to provision
 
expense of $8.3 million for the same period of 2020.
The negative provision for the first nine months of 2021 generally reflected
 
improving economic conditions and strong net loan
recoveries totaling $0.7
 
million.
 
We discuss the allowance
 
for credit losses further below.
 
For more information on charge-offs and
recoveries, see Note 3 – Loans Held for Investment and Allowance for
 
Credit Losses.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $26.6 million compared
 
to $26.5 million for the second quarter of 2021 and
$35.0 million for the third quarter of 2020.
 
The slight increase over the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to higher deposit
fees of $0.8 million and wealth management fees of $0.3 million, partially
 
offset by lower mortgage banking revenues of $0.9 million.
 
The $8.4 million decrease from the third quarter of 2020 was primarily
 
attributable to lower mortgage banking revenues at CCHL of
$10.7 million, partially offset by higher deposit fees
 
of $0.8 million, wealth management fees of $0.8 million, and bank card
 
fees of
$0.4 million.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, noninterest income totaled $82.9 million
 
compared to $80.6 million for the same
period of 2020 with the increase driven by higher wealth management
 
fees of $2.0 million, bank card fees of $1.8 million, deposit fees
of $0.5 million, and other income of $0.9 million (primarily loan servicing
 
income at CCHL), partially offset by lower mortgage
banking revenues of $3.0 million.
 
Noninterest income represented 49.0% of operating revenues (net
 
interest income plus noninterest income) in the third quarter of 2021
compared to 50.5% in the second quarter of 2021 and 58.2% in the third quarter
 
of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021,
noninterest income represented 51.5% of operating revenues compared
 
to 51.4% for the same period of 2020.
 
The table below reflects the major components of noninterest income.

Significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more
 
detail below.
Mortgage Banking Revenues.
Mortgage banking revenues totaled $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2021
 
compared to $13.2
million for the second quarter of 2021 and $23.0 million for the third
 
quarter of 2020.
 
For the nine months of 2021, revenues totaled
$42.6 million compared to $45.6 million for the same period of 2020.
 
Compared to the second quarter of 2021 and third quarter of
2020, the decrease was attributable to lower production volume and a
 
lower gain on sale margin.
 
The decrease from the nine month
period of 2020 was primarily attributable to a lower gain on sale margin.
 
Additional information on our mortgage banking subsidiary,
CCHL, is provided on page 36.
 
Deposit Fees
. Deposit fees for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $5.1 million, an increase
 
of $0.8 million, or 19.8%, over the second
quarter of 2021, and an increase of $0.8 million, or 17.6%, over the
 
third quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, deposit
fees totaled $13.6 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 3.8%, over the same period
 
of 2020.
 
Compared to all prior periods, the
increase was primarily attributable to higher monthly service charge
 
fees which reflected the conversion of the remaining free
checking accounts to a monthly maintenance fee account type.
 
Bank Card Fees
.
 
Bank card fees for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $3.8 million, a $0.2 million, or 5.3%,
 
decrease from the second
quarter of 2021, and a $0.4 million, or 11.7
 
%, increase over the third quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, bank card
fees totaled $11.4 million, an increase of $1.8
 
million, or 19.0%, over the same period of 2020.
 
The increase over the prior year
periods generally reflected an increase in card-not-present debit card
 
transactions as well increased consumer spending.

retail brokerage fees (i.e., investment,
 
insurance products, and retirement accounts)
 
totaled $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2021, a
$0.3
 
million, or 10.7%, increase over the second quarter of 2021 and a $0.8 million, or 29.0%, increase
 
over the third quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, wealth management fees totaled
 
$10.0 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 25.4%, over the same
period of 2020.
 
The favorable variances versus all prior periods reflected higher assets under
 
management and increased trading
activity by our retail brokerage clients.
 
At September 30, 2021, total assets under management were approximately
 
$2.24 billion
compared to $1.979 billion at December 31, 2020 and $1.823 billion
 
at September 30, 2020.
 
Other.
 
Other income for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $1.8 million, a $0.1 million, or
 
3.4%, increase over the second quarter of
2021, and $0.3 million, or 23.0%, over the third quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, other income totaled $5.3 million,
an increase of $0.9
 
million, or 20.6%, over the same period of 2020.
 
The increase over both prior year periods was primarily
attributable to higher loan servicing fees at CCHL.
 
Noninterest Expense
 
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $39.7 million
 
compared to $42.1 million for the second quarter of 2021 and
$40.3 million for the third quarter of 2020.
 
The $2.4 million decrease from the second quarter of 2021 reflected a pension settlement
charge of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 versus $0.5
 
million in the third quarter of 2021.
 
In addition, OREO expense
declined by $0.9 million due to a gain on the sale of a banking office
 
in the third quarter of 2021.
 
Compared to the third quarter of
2020, the $0.6 million decrease was primarily attributable to lower compensation
 
expense of $0.9 million (primarily incentive
compensation at CCHL) and OREO expense of $1.3 million, partially
 
offset by higher other expense of $1.0 million and a pension
settlement charge of $0.5 million.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, noninterest expense totaled $122.3 million
 
compared to $108.6
million for the same period of 2020.
 
The $13.7 million increase was attributable to the addition of expenses at CCHL of $6.7
 
million
as well as higher expenses at the core bank totaling $7.0 million.
 
The increase in expenses at the core bank were primarily due to
higher compensation expense of $1.5 million (primarily merit raises), processing
 
fees of $0.6 million (debit card volume), professional
fees of $0.5 million, occupancy expense of $0.4 million, and FDIC insurance of
 
$0.4 million (higher asset size), partially offset by
lower OREO expense of $1.1 million (gains from the sale of two banking offices).
 
In addition, we have realized pension settlement
charges totaling $2.5 million so far in 2021 and other expense
 
increased $1.5 million which reflected higher expense for our
 
base
pension plan attributable to the utilization of a lower discount rate for plan
 
liabilities.
The table below reflects the major components of noninterest expense.

Significant components of noninterest expense are discussed in more detail
 
below.
Compensation
.
 
Compensation expense totaled $25.2 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared
 
to $25.4 million for the second
quarter of 2021 and $26.2 million for the third quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, compensation expense totaled $76.7
million compared to $69.6 million for the same period of 2020.
 
Compared to the third quarter of 2020, the $1.0 million decrease is
primarily due to lower incentive compensation at CCHL.
 
The $7.1 million increase for the nine month period was attributable to
compensation expense added through the CCHL acquisition on March
 
1, 2020.
 
Core CCBG compensation expense increased $1.5
million primarily due to merit raises.
 
Occupancy
.
 
Occupancy expense totaled $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2021, which was compar
 
able to the second quarter of
2021 and $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, occupancy expense totaled $18.0 million
compared to $16.7 million for the same period of 2020.
 
The increase for the nine month period was primarily due to the addition of
CCHL occupancy expense through the CCHL acquisition as well as higher
 
expense at core CCBG reflective of increased FF&E
depreciation related to an increase in technology investment.
Other
.
 
Other noninterest expense totaled $8.4 million for the third quarter of 2021
 
compared to $10.8 million for the second quarter
of 2021 and $8.3 million for the third quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, other noninterest expense totaled $27.6
million compared to $22.4 million for the same period of 2020.
 
Compared to the second quarter of 2021, the $2.3 million decrease
was primarily attributable to lower pension plan settlement charge
 
s
 
of $1.5 million and lower OREO expense of $0.9 million due to
the sale of a banking office.
 
The $5.3 million increase for the nine month period was primarily due to the addition
 
of CCHL expenses
beginning in March 1, 2020, and to a lesser extent,
 
higher expenses at core CCBG, including processing fees of $0.6 million
 
(debit
card volume), professional fees of $0.5 million, and FDIC insurance
 
of $0.4 million (higher asset size), partially offset by lower
OREO expense of $1.1 million (gains from the sale of two banking offices).
 
In addition, we have realized pension settlement charges
totaling $2.5 million so far in 2021 and pension expense for our
 
base pension plan increased $1.5 million attributable to the utilization
of a lower discount rate for plan liabilities.
 
We anticipate additional
 
pension settlement expense in the fourth quarter of 2021.
 
Our operating efficiency ratio (expressed as noninterest
 
expense as a percentage of the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income
plus noninterest income) was 73.09% for the third quarter of 2021 compared
 
to 80.18% for the second quarter of 2021 and 67.01% for
the third quarter of 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, this ratio was 75.83%
 
compared to 69.04% for the same period of 2020.
Additional detail on CCHL’s
 
operations and key performance metrics is provided below.

Income Taxes
We realized income
 
tax expense of $2.9 million (effective rate of 20%) for the third quarter
 
of 2021 compared to $2.1
 
million
(effective rate of 19%) for the second quarter of 2021
 
and $3.2 million (effective rate of 17%) for the third quarter of 2020.
 
For the
first nine months of 2021, we realized income tax expense of $7.8 million (effective
 
rate of 19%) compared to $7.4 million (effective
rate of 18%) for the same period of 2020.
 
Absent discrete items, we expect our annual effective tax rate to
 
approximate 18%-19% for
the remainder of 2021.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Average earning
 
assets totaled $3.693 billion for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $69.2
 
million, or 1.9%, over the second
quarter of 2021, and an increase of $355.7 million, or 10.7%, over
 
the fourth quarter of 2020.
 
The increase over both prior periods
was primarily driven by higher deposit balances, which funded growth in the
 
investment portfolio.
 
Deposit balances increased as a
result of strong core deposit growth, SBA PPP loan proceeds deposited
 
in client accounts, and various other stimulus programs.
Investment Securities
In the third quarter of 2021, our average investment portfolio increased
 
$217.9 million, or 31.5%, over the second quarter of 2021 and
increased $391.5 million, or 75.6%, over the fourth quarter of 2020.
 
Our investment portfolio represented 24.6% of our average
earning assets for the third quarter of 2021 compared to 15.5% for the fourth quarter
 
of 2020, and 17.3% for the third quarter of 2020.
 
During the second quarter of 2021, we initiated a buy program to add to our
 
investment portfolio as part of our overall balance sheet
management,
 
which was completed by the end of the third quarter 2021.
 
For the remainder of 2021, we will continue to monitor our
overall liquidity position and look for opportunities to purchase additional
 
investment securities that align with our overall investment
strategy.
 
The investment portfolio is a significant component of our operations and, as such,
 
it functions as a key element of liquidity and
asset/liability management.
 
Two types of classifications are approved
 
for investment securities which are Available
 
-for-Sale (“AFS”)
and Held-to-Maturity (“HTM”).
 
During the third quarter of 2021, we purchased securities under both
 
the AFS and HTM designations.
 
At September 30, 2021, $645.8 million, or 65.4%, of our investment portfolio
 
was classified as AFS, and $341.2 million, or 34.6%,
classified as HTM.
 
The average maturity of our total portfolio at September 30, 2021 was 3.73
 
years compared to 3.34 years and 2.09
years at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
 
We determine
 
the classification of a security at the time of acquisition based on how the purchase will affect
 
our asset/liability strategy
and future business plans and opportunities.
 
We consider multiple
 
factors in determining classification, including regulatory
 
capital
requirements, volatility in earnings or other comprehensive income,
 
and liquidity needs.
 
Securities in the AFS portfolio are recorded
at fair value with unrealized gains and losses associated with these securities recorded
 
net of tax, in the accumulated other
comprehensive income component of shareowners’ equity.
 
HTM securities are acquired or owned with the intent of holding
 
them to
maturity.
 
HTM investments are measured at amortized cost.
 
We do not
 
trade, nor do we presently intend to begin trading investment
securities for the purpose of recognizing gains and therefore we do not maintain
 
a trading portfolio.
At September 30, 2021, there were 288 positions (combined AFS and HTM)
 
with unrealized losses totaling $3.8 million at September
30, 2021.
 
Of these 288 positions, 178 are U.S. government agency securities issued by
 
U.S. government sponsored entities which
carry the full faith and credit guarantee of the U.S. Government and
 
are 0% risk-weighted assets for regulatory purposes. There were
28 U.S. government agency positions that carry the implicit guarantee
 
of the U.S. Government. We
 
believe the long history of no
credit losses on government securities indicates that the expectation of
 
nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero.
 
Four positions
are asset backed securities that carry a AAA rating.
 
The remaining 78 positions are corporate or municipal bonds that carry a
minimum credit rating of “A-“.
 
Corporate debt securities had allowance for credit losses totaling $16,000
 
at September 30, 2021.
 
Loans HFI
Average loans
 
held for investment (HFI) decreased $62.6 million, or 3.1%, from the second quarter of
 
2021 and $19.3 million, or
1.0%, from the fourth quarter of 2020.
 
Excluding SBA PPP loans, average loans increased $34.9 million and $125.2 million
 
and
period end loans increased $5.1 million and $102.8 million, respectively,
 
over the prior periods. Compared to the second quarter of
2021, the increase in period end loans reflected growth in construction
 
and indirect loans, partially offset by a decline in commercial
real estate.
 
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, we realized growth in construction,
 
residential, commercial real estate and
indirect loans.
 
At September 30, 2021, SBA PPP loan balances totaled $7.5 million and remaining deferred
 
SBA PPP net loan fees
totaled $0.3 million.
 
SBA PPP loan forgiveness applications are expected to be completed in the fourth
 
quarter 2021.
Without compromising our credit standards
 
,
 
changing our underwriting standards, or taking on inordinate interest rate risk,
 
we
continue to closely monitor our markets and make minor adjustments as necessary.
38
Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and OREO, “NPAs”
 
)
 
totaled $3.2 million at September 30, 2021, a $3.1 million decrease
from June 30, 2021, and a $3.5 million decrease from December 31, 2020.
 
Nonaccrual loans totaled $3.0 million (0.16% of HFI
loans) at September 30, 2021
 
compared to $5.1 million (0.25% of HFI loans) at June 30, 2021 and $5.9
 
million (0.29% of HFI loans)
at December 31, 2020.
 
For additional metrics on NPAs
 
see the Asset Quality section of the Selected Quarterly Financial Data table.
 
For more information on nonaccrual loans see Note 3 – Loans Held for
 
Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses.
 
The balance of
OREO totaled $0.2 million at September 30, 2021, a decrease of $1.0
 
million from June 30, 2021
 
and $0.6
 
million from December 31,
2020.
 
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from
 
the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount
expected to be collected on the loans.
 
The allowance for credit losses is adjusted by a credit loss provision which is reported in
earnings, and reduced by the charge-off
 
of loan amounts (net of recoveries).
 
Loans are charged off against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.
 
Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts
previously charged-off and expected to
 
be charged-off.
 
Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancellable off-balance sheet credit
exposures is provided through the credit loss provision, but recorded
 
as a separate liability included in other liabilities.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available
 
information, from internal and external sources relating to past
events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable
 
forecasts.
 
Historical loan default and loss experience provides the basis for
the estimation of expected credit losses.
 
Adjustments to historical loss information incorporate management’s
 
view of current
conditions and forecasts.
 
At September 30, 2021, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled
 
$21.5 million compared to $22.2 million at June 30, 2021
and $23.8 million at December 31, 2020.
 
Activity within the allowance is detailed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, the $2.3 million net decrease in the
 
allowance reflected net loan recoveries of $0.7
 
million,
favorable problem loan migration, and lower expected losses related to
 
COVID-19, partially offset by core loan growth (excluding
SBA PPP loans).
 
At September 30, 2021, the allowance represented 1.11%
 
of loans HFI and provided coverage of 710% of
nonperforming loans compared to 1.19% and 406%, respectively,
 
at December 31, 2020.
 
At September 30, 2021, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded
 
commitments totaled $3.1 million compared to $2.6 million at
June 30, 2021 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2020.
 
The allowance for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities.
Deposits
Average total
 
deposits were $3.448 billion for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $60.3 million, or
 
1.8%, over the second quarter
of 2021 and $381.6 million, or 12.4%, over the fourth quarter of 2020.
 
The strongest growth over both comparable periods occurred
in our noninterest bearing deposits and savings account balances. Average
 
public deposits in the third quarter 2021 decreased slightly
compared to the second quarter of 2021, but increased compared to the fourth
 
quarter of 2020.
 
Over the past 12 months, multiple
government stimulus programs have been implemented, including
 
those under the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act,
which are responsible for a large part of the growth in average deposits.
 
Given these increases, the potential exists for our deposit
levels to be volatile for the remainder of 2021 and into 2022 due to the uncertain timing
 
of the outflows of the stimulus related
balances and the economic recovery.
 
It is anticipated that current liquidity levels will remain robust due to our strong overnight
 
funds
sold position.
 
The Bank continues to strategically consider ways to safely deploy a portion of
 
this liquidity.
 
We monitor
 
deposit rates on an ongoing basis and adjust if necessary,
 
as a prudent pricing discipline remains the key to managing our
mix of deposits.
MARKET RISK AND INTEREST RATE
 
SENSITIVITY
Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Overview.
Market risk management arises from changes in interest rates, exchange
 
rates, commodity prices, and equity prices.
 
We
have risk management policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk
 
and do not participate in activities that give rise to
significant market risk involving exchange rates, commodity prices, or
 
equity prices. Our risk management policies are primarily
designed to minimize structural interest rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk Management.
Our net income is largely dependent on net interest income.
 
Net interest income is susceptible to
interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature
 
or re-price on a different basis than interest-earning assets.
 
When
interest-bearing liabilities mature or re-price more quickly than interest-earning
 
assets in a given period, a significant increase in
market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest
 
income.
 
Similarly, when interest-earning
 
assets mature or re-price more
quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result
 
in a decrease in net interest income.
 
Net interest income is
also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning assets that are
 
funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by other
sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and shareowners’
 
equity.
We have established
 
a comprehensive interest rate risk management policy,
 
which is administered by management’s
 
Asset/Liability
Management Committee (“ALCO”).
 
The policy establishes risk limits, which are quantitative measures of the percentage
 
change in
net interest income (a measure of net interest income at risk) and the fair value
 
of equity capital (a measure of economic value of
equity (“EVE”) at risk) resulting from a hypothetical change in interest rates for
 
maturities from one day to 30 years.
 
We measure
 
the
potential adverse impacts that changing interest rates may have on our
 
short-term earnings, long-term value, and liquidity by
employing simulation analysis through the use of computer modeling.
 
The simulation model is designed to capture optionality factors
such as call features and interest rate caps and floors imbedded in investment and loan portfolio
 
contracts.
 
As with any method of
analyzing interest rate risk, there are certain shortcomings inherent
 
in the interest rate modeling methodology that we use.
 
When
interest rates change, actual movements in different
 
categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, loan
prepayments, and withdrawals of time and other deposits, may deviate significantly
 
from the assumptions that we use in our modeling.
Finally, the methodology
 
does not measure or reflect the impact that higher rates may have on variable and
 
adjustable-rate loan
clients’ ability to service their debts, or the impact of rate changes on demand
 
for loan and deposit products.
 
We prepare
 
a current base case and several alternative simulations at least once per quarter and
 
present the analysis to ALCO, with the
risk metrics also reported to the Board of Directors.
 
In addition, more frequent forecasts may be produced when interest rates are
particularly uncertain or when other business conditions so dictate.
Our interest rate risk management goal is to maintain expected changes
 
in our net interest income and capital levels due to fluctuations
in market interest rates within acceptable limits.
 
Management attempts to achieve this goal by balancing, within policy limits, the
volume of variable-rate liabilities with a similar volume of variable-rate
 
assets, by keeping the average maturity of fixed-rate asset and
liability contracts reasonably matched, by maintaining our core deposits as a significant
 
component of our total funding sources and by
adjusting rates to market conditions on a continuing basis.
We test our balance
 
sheet using varying interest rate shock scenarios to analyze our interest rate risk. Average
 
interest rates are
shocked by plus or minus 100, 200, 300,
 
and 400 basis points (“bp”), although we may elect not to use particular scenarios that we
determined are impractical in a current rate environment.
 
It is management’s goal to structure the
 
balance sheet so that net interest
earnings at risk over 12-month and 24-month periods, and the economic
 
value of equity at risk, do not exceed policy guidelines at the
various interest rate shock levels.
 
We augment
 
our interest rate shock analysis with alternative external interest rate scenarios
 
on a quarterly basis.
 
These alternative
interest rate scenarios may include non-parallel rate ramps.
Analysis
.
Measures of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are
 
indicators of an institution’s short-term
performance in alternative rate environments.
 
These measures are typically based upon a relatively brief period and
 
do not necessarily
indicate the long-term prospects or economic value of the institution.

The Net Interest Income at Risk positions indicate that, in the short-term,
 
all rising rate environments will positively impact the net
interest income of the Company,
 
while a declining rate environment of 100 bp will have a negative impact on
 
the net interest income.
Compared to the prior quarter-end, the 12-month
 
Net Interest Income at Risk position became less favorable in all rate scenarios
primarily due to lower levels of SBA PPP fee recognition coupled
 
with asset extension,
 
partially offset by higher rates.
 
Compared to
the prior quarter-end, the projected 24-month Net Interest
 
Income at Risk levels improved in rising rate scenarios due to higher
assumed replacement rates.
 
The down 100 bp scenario improved due to longer duration assets purchased over the
 
last two quarters.
 
All measures of Net Interest Income at Risk in rising rate and declining environments
 
are within our prescribed policy limits over the
next 12-month and 24-month periods.
 
 
The measures of equity value at risk indicate our ongoing economic value
 
by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all
of our cash flows, and discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of
 
assets and liabilities.
 
The difference between the
aggregated discounted values of the assets and liabilities is the economic
 
value of equity, which, in
 
theory, approximates the fair value
of our net assets.

(1) Down 200, 300, and 400 bp scenarios have been excluded due
 
to the low interest rate environment.
At September 30, 2021, the economic value of equity results are favorable
 
in all rising rate environments and are within prescribed
tolerance levels.
 
Although the EVE in rates down 100 bp is slightly outside of our policy
 
range, to be out of compliance, both the
EVE percentage and EVE ratio (EVE/EVA)
 
must be out of their desired range. Since the EVE ratio was 9.1% in a down 100 bp
scenario, which is above the policy minimum of 5.0%, we are considered
 
to be within Board policy at September 30, 2021.
The change in EVE in all scenarios reflects longer duration assets purchased
 
over the last two quarters, primarily due to investment
purchases in the bond portfolio. Given our asset sensitivity,
 
these longer duration assets resulted in a less favorable EVE in rising rate
scenarios, and more favorable EVE in falling rate scenarios.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
 
RESOURCES
Liquidity
In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our
 
cash needs.
 
Our objective in managing our liquidity is to
maintain our ability to meet loan commitments, purchase securities or repay deposits and
 
other liabilities in accordance with their
terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings.
 
Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies that are formulated and
monitored by our ALCO and senior management, which take into account
 
the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of
funding and the level of unfunded commitments.
 
We regularly evaluate
 
all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on
accessibility, stability,
 
reliability and cost-effectiveness.
 
Our principal source of funding has been our client deposits, supplemented
by our short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily from securities sold under
 
repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased and
FHLB borrowings.
 
We believe that the cash
 
generated from operations, our borrowing capacity and our access to
 
capital resources are
sufficient to meet our future operating capital and funding requirements.
 
At September 30, 2021, we had the ability to generate $1.456 billion
 
in additional liquidity through all of our available resources (this
excludes $709 million in overnight funds sold).
 
In addition to the primary borrowing outlets mentioned above, we also have
 
the
ability to generate liquidity by borrowing from the Federal Reserve Discount
 
Window and through brokered deposits.
 
We recognize
the importance of maintaining liquidity and have developed a Contingent
 
Liquidity Plan, which addresses various liquidity stress
levels and our response and action based on the level of severity.
 
We periodically
 
test our credit facilities for access to the funds, but
also understand that as the severity of the liquidity level increases that certain credit facilities may
 
no longer be available.
 
We conduct
a liquidity stress test on a quarterly basis based on events that could potentially occur
 
at the Bank and report results to ALCO, our
Market Risk Oversight Committee, Risk Oversight Committee,
 
and the Board of Directors.
 
At September 30, 2021, we believe the
liquidity available to us was sufficient to meet our on-going needs
 
and execute our business strategy.
 
 
41
We view our
 
investment portfolio primarily as a source of liquidity and have the option to pledge the portfolio
 
as collateral for
borrowings or deposits, and/or sell selected securities.
 
The portfolio primarily consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury,
 
U.S.
governmental and federal agencies, municipal governments,
 
corporate bonds, and asset-backed securities.
 
The weighted average life
of the portfolio was approximately 3.73 years at September 30, 2021, and
 
the available for sale portfolio had a net unrealized pre-tax
loss of $0.7 million.
 
Our average overnight funds position (defined deposits with banks plus
 
Fed funds sold less Fed funds purchased) was $741.9 million
in the third quarter of 2021 compared to an average net overnight funds
 
sold position of $818.6 million in the second quarter of 2021
and $705.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
 
The decrease compared to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to
 
growth in
the investment portfolio.
 
The increase compared to the fourth quarter 2020 was driven by strong core
 
deposit growth, in addition to
pandemic related stimulus programs.
 
We expect our
 
capital expenditures will be approximately $7.0 million over the next 12 months, which
 
will primarily consist of office
remodeling, office equipment/furniture, and technology
 
purchases.
 
Management expects that these capital expenditures will be
funded with existing resources without impairing our ability to meet our
 
on-going obligations.
Borrowings
At September 30, 2021, average short term borrowings totaled $49.8
 
million compared to $51.2 million at June 30, 2021 and $95.3
million at December 31, 2020. The variance over both prior periods
 
was attributable to the fluctuation of residential mortgage
warehouse borrowings at CCHL.
 
Additional detail on these borrowings is provided in Note 4 – Mortgage Banking
 
Activities in the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
At September 30, 2021, fixed rate credit advances from the FHLB totaled $1.7
 
million in outstanding debt consisting of five notes.
During the first nine months of 2021, the Bank made FHLB advance payments
 
totaling approximately $0.5 million, which included
one advance that paid off, and another that matured. We
 
did not obtain any new FHLB advances during this period. The FHLB notes
are collateralized by a blanket floating lien on all of our 1-4 family residential mortgage
 
loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans,
and home equity mortgage loans.
We have issued two
 
junior subordinated deferrable interest notes to our wholly owned
 
Delaware statutory trusts.
 
The first note for
$30.9 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust I in
 
November 2004, of which $10 million was retired in April 2016.
 
The second
note for $32.0 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust II in
 
May 2005.
 
The interest payment for the CCBG Capital Trust I
borrowing is due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a variable rate of three-month
 
LIBOR plus a margin of 1.90%.
 
This note matures
on December 31, 2034.
 
The interest payment for the CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing is due
 
quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a
variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.80%.
 
This note matures on June 15, 2035.
 
The proceeds from these
borrowings were used to partially fund acquisitions.
 
Under the terms of each junior subordinated deferrable interest note, in the event
of default or if we elect to defer interest on the note, we may not, with certain exceptions,
 
declare or pay dividends or make
distributions on our capital stock or purchase or acquire any of our capital
 
stock.
 
We continue to evaluate
 
the impact of the expected
discontinuation of LIBOR on our two junior subordinated deferrable
 
interest notes.
 
During the second quarter of 2020, we entered into a derivative cash
 
flow hedge of our interest rate risk related to our subordinated
debt.
 
The notional amount of the derivative is $30 million ($10 million of the CCBG Capital Trust
 
I borrowing and $20 million of the
CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing).
 
The interest rate swap agreement requires CCBG to pay fixed and receive variable (Libor
 
plus
spread) and has an average all-in fixed rate of 2.50% for 10 years.
 
Additional detail on the interest rate swap agreement is provided in
Note 5 – Derivatives in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Capital
Our capital ratios are presented in the Selected Quarterly Financial Data table
 
on page 31.
 
At September 30, 2021, our regulatory
capital ratios exceeded the threshold to be designated as “well-capitalized”
 
under the Basel III capital standards.
Shareowners’ equity was $348.9 million at September 30, 2021
 
compared to $335.9 million at June 30, 2021 and $320.8 million at
December 31, 2020.
 
For the first nine months of 2021, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by
 
net income of $27.0 million, a
$1.0 million increase in fair value of the interest rate swap related to subordinated
 
debt, net adjustments totaling $2.2 million related to
transactions under our stock compensation plans, and reclassification of
 
$7.8 million from temporary equity to decrease the
redemption value of the non-controlling interest in CCHL.
 
In addition, $1.6 million was reclassified from accumulated other
comprehensive loss to pension expense in conjunction with the partial
 
pension settlement charge reflected in earnings, therefore,
 
the
charge had no net effect on equity.
 
Shareowners’ equity was reduced by common stock dividends of $7.8 million
 
($0.46 per share), a
$3.2 million decrease in the unrealized gain on investment securities, and
 
stock compensation of $0.5 million.
42
At September 30, 2021, our common stock had a book value of $20.63
 
per diluted share compared to $19.87 at June 30, 2021
 
and
$19.05 at December 31, 2020.
 
Book value is impacted by the net after-tax unrealized gains and
 
losses on AFS investment securities.
 
At September 30, 2021, the net loss was $0.5 million compared to a $0.9 million
 
net gain at June 30, 2021 and a $2.7 million net gain
at December 31, 2020.
 
Book value is also impacted by the recording of our unfunded pension liability
 
through other comprehensive
income in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic
 
715.
 
At September 30, 2021, the net pension liability reflected
in other comprehensive loss was $45.6 million compared to $45.6 million
 
at June 30, 2021 and $47.2 million at December 31, 2020.
 
This liability is re-measured annually on December 31
st
 
based on an actuarial calculation of our pension liability.
 
Significant
assumptions used in calculating the liability are discussed in our 2020 Form
 
10-K “Critical Accounting Policies” and include the
weighted average discount rate used to measure the present value of the pension
 
liability, the weighted
 
average expected long-term
rate of return on pension plan assets, and the assumed rate of annual compensation
 
increases, all of which will vary when re-measured.
 
The discount rate assumption used to calculate the pension liability is subject to
 
long-term corporate bond rates at December 31
st
.
 
The
estimated impact to the pension liability based on a 25-basis point increase
 
or decrease in long-term corporate bond rates used to
discount the pension obligation would decrease or increase the pension
 
liability by approximately $6.6 million (after-tax) using the
balances from the December 31, 2020 measurement date.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We are a party
 
to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in the normal
 
course of business to meet the financing needs of our
clients.
 
At September 30, 2021, we had $750.4 million in commitments to extend
 
credit and $5.7 million in standby letters of credit.
 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of
 
any condition established in the
contract.
 
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
 
clauses and may require payment of a fee.
 
Since
many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon,
 
the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.
 
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee
 
the performance
of a client to a third party.
 
We use the same credit
 
policies in establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as we do for on-
balance
 
sheet instruments.
If commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require
 
funding at historical levels, management does not
anticipate that such funding will adversely impact our ability to meet our on-going
 
obligations.
 
In the event these commitments
require funding in excess of historical levels, management believes current
 
liquidity, advances available from the
 
FHLB and the
Federal Reserve, and investment security maturities provide a sufficient
 
source of funds to meet these commitments.
Certain agreements provide that the commitments
 
are unconditionally cancellable by the bank and for those agreements no allowance
for credit losses has been recorded.
 
We have recorded
 
an allowance for credit losses on loan commitments that are not
unconditionally cancellable by the bank, which is included in other
 
liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition and
totaled $3.1 million at September 30, 2021.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated
 
Financial Statements included in our 2020 Form 10-K.
 
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements
 
in accordance with GAAP and reporting practices applicable to the banking
industry requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
 
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities.
 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We have identified
 
accounting for (i) the allowance for credit losses, (ii) valuation of goodwill and other
 
identifiable intangible assets,
(iii) pension benefits, and (iv) income taxes as our most critical accounting
 
policies and estimates in that they are important to the
portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they require our subjective
 
and complex judgment as a result of the need to make
estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently
 
uncertain.
 
These accounting policies, including the nature of the estimates
and types of assumptions used, are described throughout this Item 2, Management’s
 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, and Part II, Item 7, Management’s
 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations included in our 2020 Form 10-K.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
See “Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity” in Management’s
 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, above, which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Management has determined that no additional disclosures are
necessary to assess changes in information about market risk that have occurred

Item 4.
 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
At September 30, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our management,
 
including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, evaluated
 
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
 
in Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
 
Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
 
Officer concluded
that, as of the end of the period covered by this report these disclosure controls and procedures
 
were effective.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
 
and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed
 
our internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange
 
Act of 1934).
 
During the quarter ended on September 30, 2021,
other than the above, there have been no significant changes in our internal
 
control over financial reporting during our most recently
completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected,
 
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
 
financial
reporting.
 
 
PART
 
II.
 
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
 
Legal Proceedings
We are party
 
to lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business.
 
In management's opinion, there is no known pending litigation,
the outcome of which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect
 
on our consolidated results of operations,
financial position, or cash flows.
Item 1A.
 
Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider
 
the factors discussed in Part I,
Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Form 10-K, as updated in our subsequent
 
quarterly reports. The risks described in our 2020 Form
10-K and our subsequent quarterly reports are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks
 
and uncertainties not currently known to us
or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect
 
our business, financial condition and/or operating
results.
U.S. presidential directives concerning mandatory
 
COVID-19 vaccination could have a material adverse impact on our
business and results of operations.
On September 9, 2021, President Biden announced two actions that require
 
certain companies to ensure their employees are
vaccinated against COVID-19. One order applies to U.S. Government
 
contractors and the other directive applies to companies with
100 or more employees.
 
In the second directive, he required the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
 
(OSHA) to develop
an Emergency Temporary
 
Standard (ETS) mandating either that employees are fully vaccination against
 
COVID-19 or are tested
weekly. OSHA has not yet
 
issued the ETS nor provided any additional information on its contents or requirements.
 
Although we are not a U.S. Government contractor,
 
we do have more than 100 employees and will likely be subject to the ETS.
 
As a
result, we have set November 22, 2021 as the date that all of our associates will need to
 
comply with the U.S. presidential directive to
OSHA by being vaccinated against COVID-19 or tested weekly.
 
It is currently not possible to predict with certainty the impact the
OSHA ETS or any similar directives will have on our workforce.
 
Our implementation of these type of directives may result in
attrition, including attrition of our employees and difficulty
 
securing future labor needs, which could have a material adverse effect
 
on
our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
