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 Factors” in
 
this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and the
 
following sections of 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;
 
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 loan
 
loss reserve, 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

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.
 
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.

At March 31, 2021, there were
89
 
positions (combined AFS and HTM) with unrealized losses totaling $
1.4
 
million.
87
 
these positions
were U.S. government agency securities issued by U.S. government
 
sponsored entities.
 
The remaining
two
 
were municipal securities.
 
Because the declines in the market value of these securities
 
were attributable to changes in interest rates and not
 
credit quality, and
because the Company had the ability and intent to hold
 
these investments until there is a recovery in fair value, which may
 
be at
maturity, the
 
Company did
no
t record any allowance for credit losses on any investment
 
securities at March 31, 2021.
 
Additionally,
no
ne of the securities held by the Company were past due or
 
in nonaccrual status at March 31, 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.

respectively.

Includes overdraft balances of $
0.9

0.7
 
million at March 31, 2021 and December 31,
 
2020, respectively.
 
 
Net deferred fees, which include premiums on purchased
 
loans, included in loans were $
1.6
 
million at March 31, 2021 and $
0.1
million at December 31, 2020.
 
 
Accrued interest receivable on loans which is excluded
 
from amortized cost totaled $
7.2
 
million at March 31, 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 Purchases
.
 
The Company will periodically purchase newly originated 1-4
 
family real estate secured adjustable rate loans from
Capital City Home Loans, a related party.
 
Loan purchases from CCHL totaled $
22.2
 
million for the three month period ended March
31, 2021, and were not credit impaired.
 
 
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 first three months ended March 31, 2021, the allowance
 
decreased by $
1.8
 
million and reflected a negative provision of $
2.3
million and net loan recoveries of $
0.5
 
million.
 
The negative provision was attributable to improving economic
 
conditions, primarily
a lower rate of unemployment and its potential effect
 
on rates of default.
 
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, including direct payments
 
to individuals, increased unemployment benefits, 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

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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company
 
had $
1.2
 
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”)
.
 
TDRs are loans in which the borrower is experiencing
 
financial difficulty and the Company
has granted an economic concession to the borrower
 
that it would not otherwise consider.
 
In these instances, as part of a work-out
alternative, the Company will make concessions including
 
the extension of the loan term, a principal moratorium, a
 
reduction in the
interest rate, or a combination thereof.
 
The impact of the TDR modifications and defaults are factored
 
into the allowance for credit
losses on a loan-by-loan basis as all TDRs are, by definition,
 
impaired loans.
 
Thus, specific reserves are established based upon the
results of either a discounted cash flow analysis or the
 
underlying collateral value, if the loan is deemed to
 
be collateral dependent.
 
A
TDR classification can be removed if the borrower’s
 
financial condition improves such that the borrower is no
 
longer in financial
difficulty,
 
the loan has not had any forgiveness of principal or interest,
 
and the loan is subsequently refinanced or restructured at
market terms and qualifies as a new loan.
 
At March 31, 2021, the Company had $
14.3
 
million in TDRs, of which $
13.6
 
million were 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 $
0.7
 
million and $
0.6
 
million of credit loss reserves at March 31,
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 March 31, 2021, there were
two
 
loans modified with a recorded investment of
$
0.4
 
million.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, there was
one
 
loan modified with a recorded investment of $
0.2
 
million.
 
 
For the three month period ended March 31, 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 month period ended March 31, 2020,
 
there were
two
loans totaling $
0.1
 
million that were 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, underwritin
 
g
 
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.
 
 
 
 
16
 
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.
 
 
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 identifie
 
d
 
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.
 
The following table summarizes gross loans held for
 
investment at March 31, 2021 by years of origination and internally
 
assigned
credit risk ratings (refer to Credit Risk Management section
 
for detail on risk rating system).

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES
 
The Company’s mortgage
 
banking activities at its subsidiary Capital City Homes Loans (“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 first quarter of 2020, information provided below reflects
CCHL activities for the period March 1, 2020 to March
 
31, 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.

Residential Mortgage Servicing
 
 
The Company may retain the right to service residential
 
mortgage loans sold.
 
The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for
others is the primary driver of servicing revenue.

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 March 31, 2021, the servicing portfolio balance
 
consisted of the following loan types: FNMA (
63
%),
GNMA (
11
%), and private investor (
26
%).
 
FNMA and private investor loans are structured as actual/actual
 
payment remittance.
 
 
The Company had $
2.9
 
million and $
4.9
 
million in delinquent residential mortgage loans currently
 
in GNMA pools serviced by the
Company at March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 2021, the Company
 
repurchased $
1.5
 
million of GNMA delinquent or defaulted mortgage loans with
the intention to modify their terms and include the
 
loans in new GNMA pools.

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 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 March
 
31, 2021.
 
 
The Company intends to renew the warehouse lines of
 
credit and master repurchase agreements when they mature
 
.
 
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 March 31,
2021 was $
29.7
 
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 March 31, 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.
 
 
Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s
 
right to use an underlying asset during the lease term
 
and operating lease
liabilities represent the Company’s
 
obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
 
ROU assets and operating lease
liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based
 
on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a
 
discount rate that
represents the Company’s
 
incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement
 
date.
 
Operating lease expense, which is comprised
of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted
 
on the operating lease liability,
 
is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the lease term, and is recorded in occupancy expense
 
in the consolidated statements of income.
 
 
The Company’s operating
 
leases primarily relate to banking offices with remaining
 
lease terms from
1
 
to
45
 
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 March 31, 2021, the operating
lease ROU assets and liabilities were $
11.8
 
million and $
12.6
 
million, respectively.
 
The Company does not have any finance leases or
any significant lessor agreements.

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.

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.
 
The following table shows the activity in the
allowance.

Contingencies
.
 
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.
 
 
24
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 $
200,000
.
 
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.
 
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 comparing 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.

Swap
.
 
The Company entered into a stand-alone derivative contract
 
with the purchaser of its Visa Class B
 
shares.
 
The

based upon the revised share conversion rate, if any,
 
during the
period.

Mortgage Banking Activities
.
 
The Company had Level 3 issuances and transfers of
 
$
15.4
 
million and $
10.5
 
million, respectively,
 
for
the three month period ending March 31, 2021 and Level 3
 
issuances and transfers of $
1.2
 
million and $
1.8
 
million, respectively,
 
for
the three month period ending March 31, 2020 related to
 
mortgage banking activities.
 
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.
 
 
 
26
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 $
4.0
 
million with a valuation allowance of $
0.1
 
million at March 31, 2021
and $
7.1
 
million and $
0.1
 
million, respectively,
 
at December 31, 2020.
 
Other Real Estate Owned
.
 
During the first three 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.
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights
.
 
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 March 31, 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.
 
Cash and Short-Term
 
Investments.
 
The carrying amount of cash and short-term investments is used
 
to approximate fair value, given
the short time frame to maturity and as such assets do
 
not present unanticipated credit concerns.
 
Securities Held to Maturity
.
 
Securities held to maturity are valued in accordance
 
with the methodology previously noted in this
footnote under the caption “Assets and Liabilities Measured
 
at Fair Value
 
on a Recurring Basis – Securities Available
 
for Sale”.
 
Loans.
 
The loan portfolio is segregated into categories and the fair value
 
of each loan category is calculated using present value
techniques based upon projected cash flows, estimated
 
discount rates, and incorporates a liquidity discount to meet
 
the objective of
“exit price” valuation.
 
 
Deposits.
 
The fair value of Noninterest Bearing Deposits, NOW Accounts,
 
Money Market Accounts and Savings Accounts are the
amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The
 
fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using
 
present
value techniques and rates currently offered
 
for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
Subordinated Notes Payable.
 
The fair value of each note is calculated using present
 
value techniques, based upon projected cash
flows and estimated discount rates as well as rates being offered
 
for similar obligations.
 
Short-Term
 
and Long-Term
 
Borrowings.
 
The fair value of each note is calculated using present value
 
techniques, based upon
projected cash flows and estimated discount rates as well as rates
 
being offered for similar debt.

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, and retail securities brokerage.
 
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.
 
Strategic Alliance
.
 
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.

RESPONSE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC
 
The global and local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic
 
have shown significant progress, and our clients and
 
associates continue
 
to
adjust to the changing conditions presented by the
 
pandemic. However, the pandemic
 
has adversely impacted a broad range of
industries in which the Company’s
 
customers operate and could still impair their ability to
 
fulfill their financial obligations to the
Company.
 
In addition, although our associates have generally been
 
available and working during the pandemic, COVID-19 has the
potential to create widespread business continuity issues for
 
the Company.
 
Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have
 
taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout.
 
The
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act
 
was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion
legislative package.
 
The goal of the CARES Act was to curb the economic downturn
 
through various measures, including direct
financial aid to American families and economic
 
stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors through programs
 
like the
Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") and Main Street Lending
 
Program (“MSLP”).
 
During December 2020, many provisions of the
CARES Act were extended through the end of 2021.
 
In addition to the general impact of COVID-19, certain provisions
 
of the
CARES Act as well as other recent legislative and regulatory
 
relief efforts have had a material impact on
 
the Company’s 2020 and
2021 operations and could continue to impact operations going
 
forward.
 
The Company’s business is dependent
 
upon the willingness and ability of its associates and clients to
 
conduct banking and other
financial transactions.
 
While it appears that epidemiological and macroeconomic
 
conditions are trending in a positive direction at
March 31, 2021, if case counts trend higher in our
 
markets,
 
the Company could experience further adverse effects
 
on its business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash
 
flows.
 
While it is not possible to know the full universe or extent that the impact
 
of
COVID-19, and any potential resulting measures to curtail its spread,
 
will have on the Company’s
 
future operations, we discuss
potential impacts on our financial performance in
 
more detail throughout parts of the MD&A section.
 
To protect the
 
health of our
clients and associates and comply with applicable government
 
directives, we have modified our business practices as noted
 
below.
 
 
COVID-19 Update
 
 
We continue
 
to closely follow COVID-19 case count trends in our markets and adjust
 
our operations as needed to respond
to the changing conditions presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
All of our banking offices are open for business, but
 
continue to be subject to national guidelines
 
and local safety
ordinances that are designed to protect our clients and associates.
 
 
To limit building
 
capacity, we continue
 
to utilize flexible in-office and remote working arrangements
 
for non-retail
associates.
 
 
In support of social distancing measures, we encourage
 
clients to use our enhanced digital access options for banking
products and access to sales associates.
 
 
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 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 was $9.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share,
 
for the first quarter of 2021 compared to net income
of $7.7 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the fourth
 
quarter of 2020 and net income of $4.3 million,
 
or $0.25 per diluted share,
 
for
the first quarter of 2020.
 
 
Net Interest Income
.
 
Taxable equivalent
 
net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 was $24.6
 
million compared to $25.1 million
for the fourth quarter of 2020 and $25.9 million for the
 
first quarter of 2020.
 
The decrease compared to both prior periods reflected
lower rates earned
 
on investment securities and variable/adjustable rate loans.
 
The year-over-year decline also reflected lower rates on
overnight funds.
 
Partially offsetting these declines were higher volumes
 
of earning assets, including lower yielding loans from
 
the
SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“SBA PPP”) and overnight
 
funds.
 
 
Provision and Allowance for Credit
 
Losses.
 
For the first quarter of 2021, we recorded a negative provision
 
of $1.0 million compared
to provision expense of $1.3 million for the fourth
 
quarter of 2020 and $5.0 million for the first quarter of
 
2020.
 
The negative
provision for the first quarter of 2021 generally reflected
 
improving economic conditions and a lower level of expected
 
losses related
to COVID-19.
 
Further, we recognized net loan recoveries
 
of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2021.
 
 
 
Noninterest Income
.
 
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $29.8
 
million, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 2.3%, from
the fourth quarter of 2020 and a $14.3 million, or 92.7%,
 
increase over the first quarter of 2020.
 
The decrease from the fourth quarter
of 2020 was due to a seasonal decline in mortgage
 
banking revenues.
 
The increase over the first quarter of 2020 was also attributable
to higher mortgage banking revenues due to the strategic
 
alliance with CCHL.
 
 
 
Noninterest Expense
.
 
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $40.5
 
million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 2.1%, from
the fourth quarter of 2020 and a $9.5 million, or 30.78%,
 
increase over the first quarter of 2020.
 
The decrease from the fourth quarter
of 2020 was primarily attributable to lower compensation
 
expense and other real estate owned (“OREO”) expense.
 
The increase
compared to the first quarter of 2020 reflected expenses added
 
by the CCHL acquisition as Core CCBG’s
 
expenses remained flat.
 
 
Financial Condition
 
Earning Assets
.
 
Average
 
earning assets were $3.498 billion for the first quarter of 2021,
 
an increase of $160.5 million, or 4.8%
 
over
the fourth quarter of 2020, and an increase of $746.0 million,
 
or 27.1% over the first quarter of 2020.
 
The increase over both prior
periods was primarily driven by higher deposit balances,
 
which funded growth in both overnight funds sold and SBA PPP loans.
 
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”) increased $50.9 million, or
 
2.6%, over the fourth quarter of 2020 and $196.6
million, or 10.6%, over the first quarter of 2020.
 
Period end balances increased $51.3 million, or 2.6%, over the fourth
 
quarter of
2020 and $195.3 million, or 10.5%, over the first quarter
 
of 2020.
 
In the first quarter of 2021, we originated an additional round
 
of
SBA PPP loans totaling $65.4 million.
 
Excluding SBA PPP loans, average and period end loans increased
 
$23 million and $36
million, respectively,
 
over the fourth quarter of 2020.
 
 
Credit Quality
.
 
Nonaccrual loans totaled $5.4 million (0.26% of HFI loans)
 
at March 31, 2021
 
compared to $5.9 million (0.29%
 
of
HFI loans) at December 31, 2020 and $4.9 million (0.26%
 
of HFI loans) at March 31, 2020.
 
Classified loans totaled $20.6 million,
$17.6
 
million, and $16.5 million at the same respective periods.
 
We continue
 
to closely monitor borrowers and loan portfolio
segments impacted by the pandemic.
 
Approximately $328 million of the $333 million in loans that received
 
COVID-19 loan
extension have resumed making regularly scheduled payments
 
and we have experienced nominal problem loan migration
 
within that
pool of loans.
 
 
Deposits
.
 
Average total
 
deposits increased $173.4 million, or 5.7%, over the fourth
 
quarter of 2020,
 
and $686.8 million, or 26.9%,
over the first quarter of 2020.
 
Period end deposit balances grew $140.5 million and
 
$812.5 million over the fourth quarter of 2020 and
first quarter of 2020,
 
respectively, indicating
 
strong growth in core deposit balances.
 
Over the past twelve months, multiple
government stimulus programs have been implemented,
 
including the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act, which
 
are
responsible for a portion of this growth.
 
Capital
.
 
At March 31, 2021, we were well-capitalized with a total risk-based
 
capital ratio of 17.20%
 
and a tangible common equity
ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) of 6.13% compared
 
to 17.30% and 6.25%, respectively,
 
at December 31, 2020 and 17.19% and
7.98%, respectively,
 
at March 31, 2020.
 
At March 31, 2021, all of our regulatory capital ratios exceeded
 
the threshold to be well-
capitalized under the Basel III capital standards.

RESULTS
 
OF OPERATIONS
 
 
Net Income
 
 
For the first quarter of 2021, we realized net income of
 
$9.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to
 
net income of $7.7
million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter
 
of 2020, and $4.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the first quarter
 
of
2020.
 
 
 
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, the $2.0 million
 
increase in operating profit was attributable to a $2.3
 
million decrease in the
provision for credit losses and lower noninterest expense
 
of $0.9 million, partially offset by a $0.7 million
 
decrease in noninterest
income and lower net interest income of $0.5 million.
 
 
Compared to the first quarter of 2020, the $9.5 million
 
increase in operating profit was attributable to a $14.3 million
 
increase in
noninterest income and a lower provision for credit losses of
 
$6.0 million, partially offset by higher noninterest
 
expense of $9.5 million
and lower net interest income of $1.3 million.
 
This comparison reflects the acquisition of a 51% membership
 
interest in, and
consolidation of, CCHL on March 1, 2020.

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 44.
 
Tax-equivalent
 
net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 was $24.6 million
 
compared to $25.1 million for the fourth quarter of
2020 and $25.9 million for the first quarter of 2020.
 
The decrease compared to both prior periods reflected lower
 
rates earned on
investment securities and variable/adjustable rate loans.
 
The year-over-year decline also reflected lower rates on overnight
 
funds.
 
Partially offsetting these declines were higher volumes
 
of earning assets, including lower yielding SBA PPP loans and
 
overnight
funds.
 
 
Our net interest margin for the first quarter
 
of 2021 was 2.85%, a decrease of 15 basis points from
 
the fourth quarter of 2020 and a
decline of 93 basis points from the first quarter of 2020.
 
The decreases were primarily attributable to significant growth in
 
overnight
funds which reduced our margin.
 
Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2021
 
,
 
excluding the impact of overnight funds in
excess of $200 million, was 3.45%.
 
We anticipate
 
margin improvement from these levels as a portion
 
of our overnight funds are
deployed into various strategies under consideration.

The federal funds target rate has remained
 
in the range of 0.00%-0.25% since March 2020 when the Fed
 
reduced its overnight rate by
150 basis points, and as a result we continue to experience
 
lower repricing of our variable/adjustable rate earning assets and
investment securities. Interest and fee income related
 
to the SBA PPP (See Loans below) will partially offset
 
the effect of lower rates.
 
 
Our overall cost of funds remained low during
 
the first quarter of 2021 at 0.11%, a decrease
 
of three basis points compared to the
fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to a reduction in
 
short-term borrowings.
 
 
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 recorded
 
a negative provision for credit losses of $1.0 million (consisting
 
of a negative $2.3 million for HFI loans, partially offset
by a $1.3 million expense for unfunded loan commitments)
 
for the first quarter of 2021 compared to provision expense
 
of $1.3 million
for the fourth quarter of 2020 and $5.0 million for the
 
first quarter of 2020.
 
The negative provision for the first quarter of 2021
generally reflected improving economic conditions and
 
a lower level of expected losses related to COVID-19.
 
Further, we recognized
net loan recoveries of $0.5 million in the first quarter
 
of 2021.
 
We discuss the allowance
 
for credit losses and COVID-19 exposure
further below.

Noninterest Income
 
 
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2021 totaled
 
$29.8 million compared to $30.5 million for the fourth
 
quarter of 2020 and
$15.5 million for the first quarter of 2020.
 
The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2020 was due to lower mortgage
 
banking revenues
of $0.6 million and deposit fees of $0.4 million, partially
 
offset by higher bank card fees of $0.2 million and
 
other income of $0.1
million.
 
Compared to the first quarter of 2020, the $14.3 million increase
 
reflected higher mortgage banking revenues of $13.9
million, wealth management fees of $0.5 million,
 
and bank card fees of $0.6 million, partially offset by
 
lower deposit fees of $0.7
million.

of 2021
compared to 55.0% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and
 
37.5% for the first quarter of 2020.

Significant components of noninterest income are
 
discussed in more detail below.
 
Deposit Fees
.
 
Deposit fees for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $4.3 million,
 
a decrease of $0.4 million, or 9.4%, from the fourth
quarter of 2020 and $0.7 million,
 
or 14.8%, from the first quarter of 2020.
 
The decrease from both prior periods was attributable to
lower overdraft fees and reflected lower utilization
 
of our overdraft services,
 
which we believe is primarily attributable to government
stimulus.
 
 
Bank Card Fees
.
 
Bank card fees for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $3.6
 
million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 4.5%, over the fourth
quarter of 2020 and $0.6
 
million, or 18.6%, over the first quarter of 2020.
 
Compared to both prior periods, the improvement reflected
higher card activity driven by increased consumer spending
 
,
 
which we believe is reflective of the economic recovery
 
and additional
government stimulus.
 
 
Wealth
 
Management Fees
.
 
Wealth management
 
fees, which include both trust fees (i.e., managed accounts
 
and trusts/estates)
 
and
retail brokerage fees (i.e., investment, insurance products,
 
and retirement accounts), totaled $3.1 million for the
 
first quarter of 2021,
comparable to the fourth quarter of 2020 and an increase
 
of $0.5
 
million, or 18.7%, over the first quarter of 2020.
 
The increase over
the first quarter of 2020 reflected higher assets under management
 
and higher trading activity.
 
At March 31, 2021, total assets under
management were approximately $2.088 billion compared
 
to $1.979 billion at December 31, 2020 and $1.561 billion at March
 
31,
2020.
 
 
Mortgage Banking Revenues
.
 
Mortgage banking revenues totaled $17.1 million for the
 
first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $0.6
million, or 3.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2020
 
and an increase of $13.9 million, or 426.4% over the first quarter
 
of 2020.
 
The
decrease from the fourth quarter of 2020 reflected
 
a seasonal decline in production.
 
The increase over the first quarter of 2020 was
attributable to the strategic alliance with CCHL that began
 
on March 1, 2020.
 
Noninterest Expense
 
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 totaled
 
$40.5 million compared to $41.3 million for the fourth
 
quarter of 2020 and
$31.0 million for the first quarter of 2020.
 
The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2020 was primarily attributable
 
to lower
compensation expense of $0.6 million and other real estate owned
 
(“OREO”) expense of $0.7 million, partially offset
 
by higher other
expense of $0.5 million.
 
Compared to the first quarter of 2020, the $9.5 million
 
increase reflected expenses added by the CCHL
acquisition as Core CCBG’s expenses
 
remained flat.

Significant components of noninterest expense are
 
discussed in more detail below.
 
Compensation
.
 
Compensation expense totaled $26.1 million for the first quarter
 
of 2021, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 2.5%, from the
fourth quarter of 2020 and an increase of $6.3 million,
 
or 32.1%, over the first quarter of 2020.
 
The decrease from the fourth quarter
of 2020 was due to lower salary expense at Core CCBG (primarily
 
realized loan cost which is a credit offset to expense)
 
and lower
associate benefit expense (associate insurance).
 
The increase over the first quarter of 2020 reflects the addition
 
of expenses for a full
quarter from CCHL.
 
 
Occupancy.
 
Occupancy expense (including premises and equipment) totaled
 
$6.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, comparable to
the fourth quarter of 2020 and an increase of $1.0 million,
 
or 19.9%, over the first quarter of 2020.
 
Compared to the first quarter of
2020, the increase reflected expenses added from
 
the CCHL integration,
 
primarily lease expense for loan production offices.
 
Higher
expense for maintenance and repairs at Core CCBG also contributed,
 
but to a lesser extent.
 
 
Other
.
 
Other noninterest expense totaled $8.4 million for the first quarter
 
of 2021, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2.4%, from the
 
fourth
quarter of 2020 and an increase of $2.2 million, or 35
 
.0%, over the first quarter of 2020.
 
The increase over the first quarter of 2020
reflected the addition of CCHL expenses and higher
 
OREO expense at Core CCBG driven by a $1.0 million gain
 
from the sale of a
banking office in the first quarter of 2020.
 
Our operating efficiency ratio (expressed
 
as noninterest expense as a percent of the sum of taxable-equivale
 
nt net interest income plus
noninterest income) was 74.36% for the first quarter
 
of 2021 compared to 74.36%
 
for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 74.89% for the
first quarter of 2020.
 
 
Income Taxes
 
We realized income
 
tax expense of $2.8 million (effective rate of 19%)
 
for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $2.8 million
(effective rate of 22%) for the fourth quarter
 
of 2020 and $1.3 million (effective rate of 24%) for the
 
first quarter of 2020.
 
Tax
expense for the fourth quarter of 2020 was unfavorably
 
impacted by a $0.3 million discrete tax expense.
 
Compared to the first quarter
of 2020, the decrease in our effective tax rate
 
was attributable to converting CCHL to a partnership for tax
 
purposes in the second
quarter of 2020.
 
Absent discrete items, we expect our annual effective tax
 
rate to approximate 18%-19% in 2021.
 
37
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Average earning
 
assets were $3.498 billion for the first quarter of 2021, an
 
increase of $160.5 million, or 4.8%, over the fourth quarter
of 2020, and an increase of $746.0 million, or 27.1%,
 
over the first quarter of 2020.
 
The increase over both prior periods was
primarily driven by higher deposit balances, which funded
 
growth in both overnight funds sold and SBA PPP loans.
 
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.
 
 
Investment Securities
 
In the first quarter of 2021, our average investment
 
portfolio increased $14.9 million, or 2.9%, over the fourth
 
quarter of 2020 and
decreased $102.1 million, or 16.1%, from the
 
first quarter of 2020.
 
Securities in our investment portfolio represented 15.2% of our
average earning assets for the first quarter of 2021
 
compared to 15.5% for the fourth quarter of 2020, and 23.1% for the
 
first quarter of
2020.
 
For the remainder of 2021, we will continue to monitor the
 
interest rate environment and look for opportunities to purchase
additional investment securities that align with the overall
 
investment strategy of the Company.
 
 
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 first quarter of 2021, we purchased securities under
 
the AFS designation.
 
At March 31,
2021,
 
$406.2 million, or 67.1%, of our investment portfolio was classified as AFS,
 
and $199.1 million, or 32.9%, classified as HTM.
 
The average maturity of our total portfolio at March
 
31, 2021 was 2.78 years compared to 2.09 years and 2.20 years
 
at December 31,
2020
 
and March 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 March 31, 2021,
 
there were 89 positions (combined AFS and HTM) with unrealized
 
losses totaling $1.4 million at March 31, 2021.
 
GNMA mortgage-backed securities, US Treasuries,
 
and SBA securities carry the full faith and credit
 
guarantee of the US
Government, and are 0% risk-weighted assets for regulatory
 
purposes. The municipal bond positions are either pre
 
-refunded with
government securities, or are AAA rated. None of these
 
positions with unrealized losses are considered impaired, and
 
all are expected
to mature at par.
 
Further, we believe the long history of
 
no credit losses on these securities indicates that the expectation
 
of
nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero.
 
 
Loans HFI
 
Average loans
 
HFI increased $50.9 million, or 2.6%, over the fourth quarter of 2020
 
and increased $196.6 million, or 10.6%, over the
first quarter of 2020.
 
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, average loan balances
 
increased across all loan types except
institutional and consumer, which
 
declined slightly.
 
Compared to the first quarter of 2020, average loan balances increased
 
across all
loan types except institutional, consumer,
 
and HELOCs.
 
Period-end HFI loans increased $51.3 million, or 2.6%, over
 
the fourth
quarter of 2020 and increased $195.3 million, or 10.5%,
 
over the first quarter of 2020.
 
 
In the first quarter of 2021, we originated an additional
 
round of SBA PPP loans totaling $65.4 million (reflected in the
 
commercial
loan category) which averaged $23.7 million for the quarter.
 
Approximately $256 million in SBA PPP loans have been made
 
since
the inception of this program.
 
Through the first quarter of 2021, approximately $47
 
million in SBA PPP loans have been forgiven and
paid-off ($36 million in the first quarter of 2021
 
and $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2020).
 
Forgiveness applications are expected
to remain strong over the next three months for SBA PPP loans
 
funded in 2020, and then over the course of 2021 for the
 
SBA PPP
loans funded in 2021.
 
SBA PPP loan fee income totaled approximately $1.3 million
 
for the first quarter of 2021.
 
At March 31, 2021
we had $5.0 million (net) in deferred SBA PPP loan fees.
 
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.

Credit Quality
 
 
Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and OREO) totaled
 
$5.5 million at March 31, 2021, a $1.2 million decrease
 
from December
31, 2020 and a $0.9 million decrease from March 31, 2020
 
.
 
Nonaccrual loans totaled $5.4 million at March 31, 2021,
 
a $0.5 million
decrease from December 31, 2020 and a $0.5 million increase
 
over March 31, 2020.
 
The balance of OREO totaled $0.1 million at
March 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.7 million and $1.4
 
million from December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020,
 
respectively.

COVID-19 Exposure
 
We continue
 
to monitor our loan portfolio for segments that continue to be
 
affected by the pandemic.
 
To assist our clients, we have
extended loans totaling $333 million of which 75% were
 
for commercial borrowers and 25% were for consumer
 
borrowers.
 
Approximately $328 million, or 98%, of the loan balances associated
 
with these borrowers have resumed making regularly
 
scheduled
payments of which loan balances totaling $2.9 million
 
were over 30 days delinquent and an additional $0.6 million was
 
on nonaccrual
status at March 31, 2021.
 
Of the $5 million that remains on extension, no loans were
 
classified at March 31, 2021.
 
 
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.
 
 
 
39
At March 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses for
 
loans HFI totaled $22.0 million compared to $23.8 million
 
at December 31,
2020 and $21.1 million at March 31, 2020.
 
Activity within the allowance is detailed in Note 3 to the consolidated
 
financial
statements.
 
The $1.8 million net decrease in the allowance for the
 
first quarter of 2021 reflected net loan recoveries totaling
 
$0.5
million and the release of $2.3 million in reserves
 
which reflected lower expected loan losses related to COVID-19.
 
At March 31,
2021, the allowance represented 1.07% of loans HFI and
 
provided coverage of 411% of nonperforming
 
loans compared to 1.19% and
406%, respectively,
 
at December 31, 2020 and 1.13% and 433%, respectively,
 
at March 31, 2020.
 
At March 31, 2021, excluding SBA
PPP loans (100% government guaranteed), the
 
allowance represented 1.19% of loans HFI compared to 1.30%
 
at December 31, 2020.
 
 
At March 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses for
 
unfunded commitments totaled $3.0 million compared to $1.6 million
 
at
December 31, 2020 and $1.0 million at March 31,
 
2020.
 
The allowance for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities.
 
Deposits
 
Average total
 
deposits were $3.240 billion for the first quarter of 2021, an
 
increase of $173.4 million, or 5.7%, over the fourth quarter
of 2020 and $686.8 million, or 26.9%, over the first quarter
 
of 2020.
 
Over the past twelve months, multiple government stimulus
programs have been implemented, including the CARES Act
 
and the American Rescue Plan Act, which are responsible for
 
a portion
of this growth. Given these large increases, the
 
potential exists for our deposit levels to be volatile throughout 2021
 
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.
 
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 position indicates
 
that in the short-term, all rising rate environments will positively
 
impact the net
interest margin of the Company,
 
while a declining rate environment of 100bp will have a
 
negative impact on the net interest margin.
Compared to the prior quarter-end, the 12-month
 
Net Interest Income at Risk position became more favorable in
 
all rising rate
scenarios, and was slightly less favorable in the falling
 
rate scenario due to the higher level of nonmaturity deposits, and
 
our limited
ability to lower deposit rates relative to the decline
 
in the market. Compared to the prior quarter-end, the 24-month
 
Net Interest
Income at Risk position became slightly less favorable
 
in all rate scenarios primarily due to the lower amount
 
of SBA PPP loan fees in
year two compared to year one.
 
 
All measures of Net Interest Income at Risk in rising rate
 
environments are within our prescribed policy limits over the next 12
 
-month
and 24-month periods. We
 
are out of compliance in the down 100bp scenario for the 24-month
 
period due to our limited ability to
lower our deposit rates relative to the decline in market rates.
 
 
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.

excluded due to the low interest rate environment.
(2)
 
For the rates down 100 bp scenario,
 
the high negative percentage change
 
is due to a negative value assigned to our nonmaturity
deposits.
 
Since we believe our nonmaturity deposits are
 
highly valued core franchise deposits, we run
 
an alternate EVE
calculation which caps the projected
 
value of our nonmaturity deposits at their book value.
 
At March 31, 2021,
 
the economic value of equity results are favorable in all
 
rising rate environments and are within prescribed
tolerance levels, but are out of policy in the down 100
 
bp EVE scenario. EVE output in the down 100bp scenario is extreme
 
given the
historically low rate environment, in conjunction with
 
the high overnight funds sold balance.
 
Management is monitoring the EVE
analysis in light of the economic recovery and evaluating
 
various strategies.
 
As management believes there is more permanency to
recent deposit growth, we are planning to invest an additional
 
$500 million in the investment portfolio, which will lessen
 
the bank’s
asset sensitivity.
 
In an alternate EVE scenario where the value of our nonmaturity
 
deposits are capped at their book value, we are
within policy guidelines.
 
As the interest rate environment and the dynamics of the
 
economy continue to change, additional simulations will be analyzed
 
to
address not only the changing rate environment, but also
 
the changing balance sheet mix, measured over multiple
 
years, to help assess
the risk to the Company.
 
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 March 31, 2021,
 
we had the ability to generate $1.262 billion in additional liquidity
 
through all of our available resources (this
excludes $852 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 March 31, 2021,
 
we believe the
liquidity available to us was sufficient to meet
 
our on-going needs and execute our business strategy.
 
 
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 consists of debt issued by the
 
U.S. Treasury,
 
U.S. governmental
and federal agencies, and municipal governments.
 
The weighted average life of the portfolio was approximately 2.78
 
years at March
31, 2021,
 
and the available for sale portfolio had a net unrealized pre
 
-tax gain of $1.7 million.
 
Our average overnight funds position (defined deposits with banks
 
plus Fed funds sold less Fed funds purchased) was $814.6
 
million
during the first quarter of 2021 compared to an average
 
net overnight funds sold position of $705.1 million in the fourth quarter
 
of
2020 and $234.4 million in the first quarter of 2020.
 
The increase compared to both prior periods was driven by
 
deposit inflows
related to pandemic related stimulus programs and growth
 
in our core deposits (see
Deposits
).
 
 
 
42
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 March 31, 2021,
 
average short term borrowings totaled $67.0 million compared
 
to $95.3 million at December 31,
 
2020 and $32.9
million at March 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 March 31, 2021,
 
fixed rate credit advances from the FHLB totaled $1.9
 
million in outstanding debt consisting of five notes. During
the first three months of 2021, the Bank made FHLB advance payments
 
totaling approximately $0.3 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 are in the process of
 
evaluating 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 March 31, 2021, our regulatory capital
ratios exceeded the threshold to be designated as “well-capita
 
lized” under the Basel III capital standards.
 
Shareowners’ equity was $324.4 million at March
 
31, 2021 compared to $320.8 million at December 31, 2020
 
and $328.5 million at
March 31, 2020.
 
During the first quarter of 2021, shareowners’ equity was positively
 
impacted by net income of $9.5 million, a $1.6
million increase in fair value of the interest rate swap
 
related to subordinated debt, net adjustments totaling $0.3
 
million related to
transactions under our stock compensation plans, stock
 
compensation accretion of $0.2 million, and a $0.1 million
 
decrease in the
accumulated other comprehensive loss for our pension
 
plan.
 
Shareowners’ equity was reduced by a common stock dividend
 
of $2.5
million ($0.15 per share), reclassification of $4.2 million
 
to temporary equity to increase the redemption value of the
 
non-controlling
interest in CCHL, and a $1.4 million decrease in the
 
unrealized gain on investment
 
securities.
 
At March 31, 2021, our common stock had a book value
 
of $19.22 per diluted share compared to $19.05 at
 
December 31, 2020 and
$19.50 at March 31, 2020.
 
Book value is impacted by the net after-tax unrealized gains and losses on
 
AFS investment securities.
 
At
March 31, 2021, the net gain was $1.7 million compared
 
to a $3.7 million net gain at December 31, 2020 and a $3.5 million
 
net gain at
March 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 March 31, 2021, the net pension liability reflected in other
comprehensive loss was $47.1 million compared to
 
$47.3 million at December 31, 2020 and $29.0 million at March
 
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 March 31, 2021,
 
we had $770.3 million in commitments to extend credit and $6.7
 
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 no
 
t
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 $3.0 million at March 31, 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 Statement
 
s
 
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, (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.

AND QUALITATIVE
 
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 since December 31, 2020.
 
Item 4. CONTROLS
 
AND PROCEDURES
 
At March 31, 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 March 31, 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.
