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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”):

significantly impact our business;

●

●
structural changes in the markets for origination, sale and servicing of residential mortgages;

●
the effects of natural disasters, harsh weather conditions (including hurricanes), widespread health emergencies (including the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic), 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

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 notes 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, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial
statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Accounting Standards Updates
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)
. In March 2022, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings
and Vintage Disclosures". ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructur ings (“TDRs”) in Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-40, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” for entities that have adopted the
current expected credit loss model introduced by ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2022-02 also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross
charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20,
“Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost”. ASU 2022-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption,
ASU 2022-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

positions are U.S. Treasury bonds and carry the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities. We believe the long history of no credit losses on government securities
indicates that the expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. The remaining
128
and corporate bonds) have a credit component. At September 30, 2022, all collateralized mortgage obligation securities (“CMO”),
MBS, Small Business Administration securities (“SBA”), U.S. Agency, and U.S. Treasury bonds held were AAA rated. At September
30, 2022, corporate debt securities had an allowance for credit losses of $
28,000
$
13,000
.
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 and
corporate securities portfolio via credit ratings which are updated on a quarterly basis. On a quarterly basis, municipal and corporate
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.

consumer loans, commercial loans, and construction loans to support available borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank of

loans from Capital City Home Loans (“CCHL”), a related party. Residential loan purchases from CCHL totaled $
267.0

Allowance for Credit Losses
. The methodology for estimating the amount of credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses
(“ACL”) 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 – Significant Accounting
Policies in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.
The following table details the activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment. Allocation of a portion of the
allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

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

A loan is collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is dependent on the
sale or operation of the underlying collateral.
The Bank’s collateral dependent loan portfolio is comprised primarily of real estate secured loans, collateralized by either residential
or commercial collateral types. The loans are carried at fair value based on current values determined by either independent appraisals
or internal evaluations, adjusted for selling costs or other amounts to be deducted when estimating expected net sales proceeds.

Credit Risk Management
. The Company has adopted comprehensive lending policies, underwriting standards and loan review
procedures designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management and the Board of Directors review and
approve these policies and procedures on a regular basis (at least annually).
Reporting systems are used to monitor loan originations, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming
loans and potential problem loans. Management and the Credit Risk Oversight Committee periodically review our lines of business to
monitor asset quality trends and the appropriateness of credit policies. In addition, total borrower exposure limits are established and
concentration risk is monitored. As part of this process, the overall composition of the portfolio is reviewed to gauge diversification
of risk, client concentrations, industry group, loan type, geographic area, or other relevant classifications of loans. Specific segments
of the loan portfolio are monitored and reported to the Board on a quarterly basis and have strategic plans in place to supplement
Board approved credit policies governing exposure limits and underwriting standards. Detailed below are the types of loans within
the Company’s loan portfolio and risk characteristics unique to each.
Commercial, Financial, and Agricultural – Loans in this category are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower
with consideration given to underlying collateral and personal or other guarantees. Lending policy establishes debt service coverage
ratio limits that require a borrower’s cash flow to be sufficient to cover principal and interest payments on all new and existing debt.
The majority of these loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory, or
equipment. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. Loan to value ratios at origination are
governed by established policy guidelines.
17
Real Estate Construction – Loans in this category consist of short-term construction loans, revolving and non-revolving credit lines
and construction/permanent loans made to individuals and investors to finance the acquisition, development, construction or
rehabilitation of real property. These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower or project and generally
secured by the property being financed, including 1-4 family residential properties and commercial properties that are either owner-
occupied or investment in nature. These properties may include either vacant or improved property. Construction loans are generally
based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. Collateral values are determined based upon third
party appraisals and evaluations. Loan to value ratios at origination are governed by established policy guidelines. The disbursement
of funds for construction loans is made in relation to the progress of the project and as such these loans are closely monitored by on-
site inspections.
Real Estate Commercial Mortgage – Loans in this category consists of commercial mortgage loans secured by property that is either
owner-occupied or investment in nature. These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower or project
with consideration given to underlying real estate collateral and personal guarantees. Lending policy establishes debt service
coverage ratios and loan to value ratios specific to the property type. Collateral values are determined based upon third party
appraisals and evaluations.
Real Estate Residential – Residential mortgage loans held in the Company’s loan portfolio are made to borrowers that demonstrate the
ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors such as current income, employment status, current
assets, and other financial resources, credit history, and the value of the collateral. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on 1-4 family
residential properties. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. The Company does not
originate sub-prime loans.
Real Estate Home Equity – Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified individuals for legitimate purposes generally secured
by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied 1-4 family homes or vacation homes. Borrower qualifications include
favorable credit history combined with supportive income and debt ratio requirements and combined loan to value ratios within
established policy guidelines. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations.
Consumer Loans – This loan portfolio includes personal installment loans, direct and indirect automobile financing, and overdraft
lines of credit. The majority of the consumer loan category consists of direct and indirect automobile loans. Lending policy
establishes maximum debt to income ratios, minimum credit scores, and includes guidelines for verification of applicants’ income and
receipt of credit reports.
Credit Quality Indicators
. As part of the ongoing monitoring of the Company’s loan portfolio quality, management categorizes loans
into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial
information, historical payment performance, credit documentation, and current economic and market trends, among other
factors. Risk ratings are assigned to each loan and revised as needed through established monitoring procedures for individual loan
relationships over a predetermined amount and review of smaller balance homogenous loan pools. The Company uses the definitions
noted below for categorizing and managing its criticized loans. Loans categorized as “Pass” do not meet the criteria set forth below
and are not considered criticized.
Special Mention – Loans in this category are presently protected from loss, but weaknesses are apparent which, if not corrected, could
cause future problems. Loans in this category may not meet required underwriting criteria and have no mitigating factors. More than
the ordinary amount of attention is warranted for these loans.
Substandard – Loans in this category exhibit well-defined weaknesses that would typically bring normal repayment into jeopardy.
These loans are no longer adequately protected due to well-defined weaknesses that affect the repayment capacity of the
borrower. The possibility of loss is much more evident and above average supervision is required for these loans.
Doubtful – Loans in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan categorized as Substandard, with the characteristic that
the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly
questionable and improbable.
Performing/Nonperforming – Loans within certain homogenous loan pools (home equity and consumer) are not individually reviewed,
but are monitored for credit quality via the aging status of the loan and by payment activity. The performing or nonperforming status
is updated on an on-going basis dependent upon improvement and deterioration in credit quality.

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES
The Company’s mortgage banking activities 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.
Residential Mortgage Loan Production
The Company originates, markets, and services conventional and government-sponsored residential mortgage loans. Generally,
conforming fixed rate residential mortgage loans are held for sale in the secondary market and non-conforming and adjustable-rate
residential mortgage loans may be held for investment. The volume of residential mortgage loans originated for sale and secondary
market prices are the primary drivers of origination revenue.
Residential mortgage loan commitments are generally outstanding for 30 to 90 days, which represents the typical period from
commitment to originate a residential mortgage loan to when the closed loan is sold to an investor. Residential mortgage loan
commitments are subject to both credit and price risk. Credit risk is managed through underwriting policies and procedures, including
collateral requirements, which are generally accepted by the secondary loan markets. Price risk is primarily related to interest rate
fluctuations and is partially managed through forward sales of residential mortgage-backed securities (primarily to-be announced
securities, or TBAs) or mandatory delivery commitments with investors.
The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans held for sale, notional amounts of derivative contracts related to residential
mortgage loan commitments and forward contract sales and their related fair values are set- forth below.

Conforming conventional loans serviced by the Company are sold to Federal National Mortgage Association (“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 the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), whereby the Company is
insured against loss by the Federal Housing Administration or partially guaranteed against loss by the Veterans Administration. At
September 30, 2022, the servicing portfolio balance consisted of the following loan types: FNMA (
44
%), GNMA (
6
%), and private
investor (
50
%). FNMA and private investor loans are structured as actual/actual payment remittance.
The Company had $

pledged as collateral under the above warehouse lines of credit and master repurchase agreements. The above agreements also contain
covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquid
assets, and maximum debt to net worth ratio, as defined in the agreements. The Company was in compliance with all significant debt
covenants at September 30, 2022.
The Company has extended a $

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
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.
The following table reflects the cash flow hedges included in the consolidated statements of financial condition

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

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.
25
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.

there are

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. Conversion ratio payments and ongoing fixed quarterly charges are reflected in
earnings in the period incurred. 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 $
0.2
million.
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.
26
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 compari ng them to prices obtained from an independent third-party
source.
Loans Held for Sale
. The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale based on Level 2 inputs is determined, when possible,
using either quoted secondary-market prices or investor commitments. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value is determined
using quoted prices for a similar asset or assets, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan, which would be used by other market
participants. The Company has elected the fair value option accounting for its held for sale loans.
Mortgage Banking Derivative Instruments.
The fair values of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are derived by valuation
models incorporating market pricing for instruments with similar characteristics, commonly referred to as best execution pricing, or
investor commitment prices for best effort IRLCs which have unobservable inputs, such as an estimate of the fair value of the
servicing rights expected to be recorded upon sale of the loans, net estimated costs to originate the loans, and the pull-through rate,
and are therefore classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of forward sale commitments is based on
observable market pricing for similar instruments and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Interest Rate Swap.
The Company’s derivative positions are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and are valued using
models generally accepted in the financial services industry and that use actively quoted or observable market input values from
external market data providers. The fair value derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow models.
Fair Value Swap
. The Company entered into a stand-alone derivative contract with the purchaser of its Visa Class B shares. The
valuation represents the amount due and payable to the counterparty based upon the revised share conversion rate, if any, during the
period. At September 30, 2022, there was $

Mortgage Banking Activities

11.4
million and $
23.4
26.2
38.6
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Issuances are valued based on the change in fair value of the underlying
mortgage loan from inception of the IRLC to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition date, adjusted for pull-through rates
and costs to originate. IRLCs transferred out of Level 3 represent IRLCs that were funded and moved to mortgage loans held for sale,
at fair value.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (i.e., the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis
but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances). An example would be assets exhibiting evidence of impairment.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured on a non-recurring basis.
Collateral Dependent Loans
. Impairment for collateral dependent loans is measured using the fair value of the collateral less selling
costs. The fair value of collateral is determined by an independent valuation or professional appraisal in conformance with banking
regulations. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs due to the volatility in the real estate market, and the judgment and
estimation involved in the real estate appraisal process. Collateral dependent loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly
basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior
periods. Collateral-dependent loans had a carrying value of $
1.2
0.1
2022 and $
2.8
0.2
28
Other Real Estate Owned
. During the first nine months of 2022, 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 each of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was
no
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 the
caption “Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis – Securities Available for Sale.”

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”). We offer a broad array of products and services through a total of 57 full-service offices
located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. We provide a full range of banking services, including traditional deposit and credit
services, mortgage banking, asset management, trust, merchant services, bankcards, securities brokerage services and financial
advisory services, including life insurance products, risk management and asset protection services.
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 interest 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, operating
expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and other operating expenses including income taxes, and noninterest
income such as mortgage banking revenues, wealth management fees, deposit fees, and bank card fees.
We have included a detailed discussion of the economic conditions in our markets and our long-term strategic objectives as part of the
MD&A section of our 2021 Form 10-K.
Acquisitions
On April 30, 2021, a newly formed subsidiary of CCBG, Capital City Strategic Wealth, LLC (“CCSW”), completed its acquisition of
substantially all of the assets of Strategic Wealth Group, LLC and certain related businesses (“SWG”). CCSW was consolidated into
CCBG’s financial statements effective May 1, 2021. A detailed discussion regarding the acquisition of Capital City Strategic Wealth,
LLC is included as part of the MD&A section of our 2021 Form 10-K.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We present a tangible common equity ratio and a tangible book value per diluted share that, in each case, removes the effect of
goodwill and other intangibles that resulted 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. The generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) to non-GAAP reconciliation for each quarter presented is provided below.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Results of Operations
Performance Summary.
Net income attributable to common shareowners of $11.3 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, for the third
quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $8.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022, and $10.1 million,
or $0.60 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021.
For the first nine months of 2022, net income attributable to common
shareowners totaled $28.5 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, compared to net income of $27.0 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, for
the same period of 2021.
Net Interest Income.
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $33.4 million, compared to $28.4 million
for the second quarter of 2022, and $27.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, tax-equivalent net
interest income totaled $86.6 million compared to $78.4 million for the same period of 2021. Compared to the referenced prior
periods, the increase reflected strong loan growth, higher investment balances, and higher rates across a majority of our earning assets.
Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses.
We recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2022
compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 and no provision for the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of
2022, the provision was an expense of $3.6 million compared to a benefit of $1.6 million for the same period of 2021. The higher
level of provision compared to all prior periods was primarily attributable to strong loan growth. The credit loss provision in 2021
was favorably impacted by strong loan recoveries. At September 30, 2022, the allowance represented 0.96% of HFI loans compared
to 0.96% at June 30, 2022 and 1.12% at December 31, 2021.
Noninterest Income.
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $22.9 million compared to $24.9 million for the second
quarter of 2022 and $26.6 million for the third quarter of 2021. The $2.0 million decrease from the second quarter of 2022 was
attributable to lower mortgage banking revenues of $1.9 million. For the first nine months of 2022, noninterest income totaled $73.7
million compared to $82.9 million for the same period of 2021 and reflected lower mortgage banking revenues of $17.5 million,
partially offset by higher deposit fees of $3.0 million and wealth management fees of $4.4 million (insurance revenues of $3.5 million
and retail brokerage fees of $0.9 million). The decrease in mortgage banking revenues in 2022 has been largely offset by interest
income from strong adjustable rate residential production being booked into our loan portfolio. We discuss noninterest income in
further detail below.
Noninterest Expense.
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $39.8 million compared to $40.5 million for the second
quarter of 2022 and $39.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. The $0.7 million decrease from the second quarter of 2022 was
primarily attributable to lower compensation expense from variable/performance -based compensation at Capital City Home Loans
(“CCHL”) and CCSW. For the first nine months of 2022, noninterest expense totaled $119.5 million compared to $122.3 million for
the same period of 2021 and reflected lower compensation expense of $1.7 million and other expense of $1.4 million, partially offset
by higher occupancy expense of $0.3 million. We discuss noninterest expense in further detail below.
Financial Condition
Earning Assets.
Average earning assets totaled $4.010 billion for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $35.7 million, or 0.9%, over
the second quarter of 2022, and an increase of $218.6 million, or 5.8%, over the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase over both prior
periods was primarily driven by higher deposit balances. The mix of earning assets continues to improve driven by strong loan
growth.
Loans
. Average loans held for investment (“HFI”) increased $179.4 million, or 8.6%, over the second quarter of 2022 and increased
$315.8 million, or 16.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2021. Period end loans increased $132.5 million, or 6.0%, over the second
quarter of 2022 and $414.7 million, or 21.5%, over the fourth quarter of 2021. The growth in 2022 has been broad based with
increases realized in all loan categories, more significantly, residential mortgage, residential construction, and commercial real estate.
The slowdown in secondary market residential loan sales has allowed us to book a steady flow of CCHL’s adjustable rate production
in our loan portfolio throughout 2022.
Credit Quality
. Overall credit quality remains strong. Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $2.4
million at September 30, 2022 compared to $3.2 million at June 30, 2022 and $4.3 million at December 31, 2021. At September 30,
2022, nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets totaled 0.06% compared to 0.07% at June 30, 2022 and 0.10% at December 31,
2021. Nonaccrual loans totaled $2.4 million at September 30, 2022, a $0. 7 million decrease from June 30, 2022 and a $1.9 million
decrease from December 31, 2021.
35
Deposits
. Average total deposits were $3.770 billion for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $4.5 million, or 0.1%, over the
second quarter of 2022 and $220.7 million, or 6.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2021. Growth over the second quarter of 2022 was
primarily attributable to an increase in noninterest bearing and savings account balances. Compared to the fourth quarter 2021, we
have had strong growth in our noninterest bearing deposits, NOW accounts, and savings account balances.
Capital
. At September 30, 2022, we were well-capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.75% and a tangible common
equity ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) of 6.61% compared to 16.07% and 6.54%, respectively at June 30, 2022 and 17.15% and
6.95%, respectively, at December 31, 2021. At September 30, 2022, all of our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the threshold to be
well-capitalized under the Basel III capital standards.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents our single largest source of earnings and is equal to interest income and fees generated by earning
assets less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. This information is provided on a “taxable equivalent” basis to reflect
the tax-exempt status of income earned on certain loans and state and local government debt obligations. We provide an analysis of
our net interest income including average yields and rates in Table I on page 46.
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $33.4 million, compared to $28.4 million for the second
quarter of 2022, and $27.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, tax-equivalent net interest income
totaled $86.6 million compared to $78.4 million for the same period of 2021. Compared to the referenced prior periods, the increase
reflected strong loan growth and higher rates across a majority of our earning assets.
Our net interest margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 3.31%, an increase of 44 basis points over the second quarter of 2022 and 33
basis points over the third quarter of 2021, both driven by higher interest rates and an overall improved earning asset mix. For the
month of September 2022, our net interest margin was 3.41%. Excluding the impact of overnight funds in excess of $200 million, our
net interest margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 3.54%. Compared to the nine month period of 2021, the net interest margin
remained flat at 2.91% as the favorable impact of higher interest rates and an improved earning asset mix offset the favorable impact
in 2021 from a significant level of SBA Paycheck Protection Program fee income.
36
Provision for Credit Losses
We recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter
of 2022 and no provision for the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, the provision was an expense of $3.6 million
compared to a benefit of $1.6 million for the same period of 2021. The higher level of provision compared to all prior periods was
primarily attributable to strong loan growth. The credit loss provision in 2021 was favorably impacted by strong loan recoveries. We
discuss the allowance for credit losses further below. For more information on charge-offs and recoveries, see Note 3 – Loans Held for
Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $22.9 million compared to $24.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and
$26.6 million for the third quarter of 2021. The $2.0 million decrease from the second quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable to
lower mortgage banking revenues of $1.9 million. Compared to the third quarter of 2021, the $3.6 million decrease was attributable to
lower mortgage banking revenues of $5.2 million, partially offset by higher deposit fees of $0.9 million, other income of $0. 3 million,
and wealth management fees of $0.3 million. For the first nine months of 2022, noninterest income totaled $73.7 million compared to
$82.9 million for the same period of 2021 and reflected lower mortgage banking revenues of $17.5 million, partially offset by higher
deposit fees of $3.0 million and wealth management fees of $4.4 million (primarily insurance revenues of $3.5 million and retail
brokerage fees of $0.9 million). Lower mortgage banking revenues for 2022 reflected a reduction in refinancing activity and, to a
lesser degree, lower purchase mortgage originations primarily driven by higher interest rates. For 2022, CCHL contributed $0.5
million ($0.03 per diluted share) to earnings versus $3.4 million ($0.21 per diluted share) in 2021, which has largely been offset by a
$1.2 million ($0.07 per diluted share) contribution to earnings by CCSW and improvement in both deposit fees and retail brokerage
fees, which reflects our continued commitment to revenue diversification.
Noninterest income represented 40.8% of operating revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) in the third quarter of 2022
compared to 46.8% in the second quarter of 2022 and 49.0% in the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022,
noninterest income represented 46.0% of operating revenues compared to 51.5% for the same period of 2021.
The table below reflects the major components of noninterest income.

Significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more detail below.
Deposit Fees
. Deposit fees for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $5.9 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 9.2%, over the second
quarter of 2022, and an increase of $0.9 million, or 17.2%, over the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, deposit
fees totaled $16.6 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 22.1%, over the same period of 2021. Compared to second quarter of 2022,
the increase reflected higher overdraft fees. The increase over both prior year periods was attributable to higher monthly service
charge fees and overdraft fees. The conversion of our remaining free checking accounts to a monthly maintenance fee account type
drove the increase in service charge fees. The increase in overdraft fees was driven by higher utilization of our overdraft service
which is closely correlated (inversely) with the consumer savings rate which has declined noticeably since it substantially increased
during 2020 and 2021 due to the high level of governmental stimulus related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bank Card Fees
. Bank card fees for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $3.9 million, a $0.2 million, or 4.3%, decrease from the second
quarter of 2022, and a $0.1 million, or 2.0% increase over the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, bank card fees
totaled $11.7 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2.2%, over the same period of 2021. The increase over the prior year periods was
primarily attributable to growth in checking accounts.
37
Wealth Management Fees
. Wealth management fees include trust fees through Capital City Trust (i.e., managed accounts and
trusts/estates), retail brokerage fees through Capital City Investments (i.e., investment, insurance products, and retirement accounts),
and financial advisory fees through Capital City Strategic Wealth (i.e., including the sale of life insurance, risk management and asset
protection services). Wealth management fees for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $3.9 million, a $0.5 million, or 10.6%, decrease
from the second quarter of 2022, which reflected lower insurance revenues of $0.5 million due to a lower level of insurance policy
sales. Compared to the third quarter of 2021, the $0.3 million, or 8.7%, increase was due to higher retail brokerage fees of $0.2
million. For the first nine months of 2022, wealth management fees increased $4.4 million, or 44.3%, primarily due to higher
insurance revenues of $3.5 million and retail brokerage fees of $0.9 million. The higher level of insurance revenues reflected the
acquisition of Capital City Strategic Wealth in May 2021. At September 30, 2022, total assets under management were approximately
$2.117 billion compared to $2.201 billion at June 30, 2022 and $2.324 billion at December 31, 2021.
Mortgage Banking Revenues.
Mortgage banking revenues totaled $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $9.1 million
for the second quarter of 2022 and $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, revenues totaled
$25.1 million compared to $42.6 million for the same period of 2021. Lower mortgage banking revenues for 2022 reflected a
reduction in refinancing activity, and to a lesser degree lower purchase mortgage originations, primarily driven by higher interest
rates. In addition, gain on sale margins have been pressured due to a lower level of governmental loan originations and mandatory
delivery loan sales (both of which provide a higher gain on sale percentage). During 2022, strong best efforts origination volume has
allowed us to book a steady flow of adjustable rate residential loans in our portfolio and has contributed to loan growth and earnings.
In addition, continued stability in our construction/permanent loan program has partially offset the slowdown in secondary market
originations.
Other
. Other income totaled $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2022 and
$1.8 million for the third quarter of 2021. The slight increase over the third quarter of 2021 reflected higher loan servicing income
and miscellaneous loan fees. For the first nine months of 2022, other income totaled $5.9 million compared to $5.3 million for the
same period of 2021 with the increase attributable to higher loan servicing income, VISA debit card incentive income, and
miscellaneous loan fees. The increase in loan servicing income reflected an increase in CCHL’s loan servicing portfolio and the
increase in miscellaneous loan fees was attributable to higher loan volume.
38
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $39.8 million compared to $40.5 million for the second quarter of 2022 and
$39.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. The $0.7 million decrease from the second quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable to
lower compensation expense of $0.6 million which reflected lower variable/performance-based compensation expense at CCHL and
CCSW totaling $1.5 million, partially offset by higher variable/performance -based compensation of $0.6 million and base salaries
(primarily annual merit raises) of $0.2 million at the Bank. Compared to the third quarter of 2021, the $0.1 million increase reflected
higher other expense of $0.5 million and occupancy expense of $0.1 million, partially offset by lower compensation expense of $0.5
million. The increase in other expense was primarily attributable to higher other real estate expense of $1.0 million partially offset by
lower pension settlement expense of $0.4 million. The decrease in compensation expense reflected lower variable/performance -based
compensation at CCHL totaling $1.5 million, partially offset by higher variable/performance-based compensation of $0.7 million and
base salaries of $0.3 million at the Bank.
For the first nine months of 2022, noninterest expense totaled $119.5 million compared to $122.3 million for the same period of 2021
and reflected lower compensation expense of $1.7 million and other expense of $1.4 million, partially offset by higher occupancy
expense of $0.3 million. The reduction in compensation expense was primarily due to lower variable/performance -based
compensation at CCHL totaling $7.0 million, partially offset by higher variable/performance-based compensation totaling $2.8
million, base salaries (merit and new market staffing additions) of $2.0 million, and associate insurance expense (utilized self-
insurance reserves in 2021) of $0.6 million at the Bank. The net $1.4 million decrease in other expense was primarily attributable to
lower pension settlement expense of $2.0 million and miscellaneous expense of $1.1 million, partially offset by higher other real estate
expense of $1.4 million and advertising expense of $0.4 million. A lower level of lump sum retirement payments drove the decrease
in pension settlement expense compared to three and nine month periods of 2021. We expect additional pension settlement expense
for the remainder of 2022 based on our current estimate of lump sum pension pay-outs to retirees. We discuss noninterest expense in
further detail below.
To date, the impact of inflation and higher prices on our cost structure has not been significant. While operating in a very tight labor
market, we have mitigated the impact of salary pressures by not replacing certain positions that became vacant. Further, we have
realized higher than historical increases in certain premises and processing contracts reflective of inflationary pressures. We will
continue to focus on opportunities to re-negotiate or replace vendors at periodic renewals.
The table below reflects the major components of noninterest expense.

Significant components of noninterest expense are discussed in more detail below.
Compensation
. Compensation expense totaled $24.7 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $25.4 million for the second
quarter of 2022 and $25.2 million for the third quarter of 2021. The $0.7 million decrease from the second quarter of 2022 was
primarily attributable to lower compensation expense of $0.6 million which reflected lower variable/performance-based compensation
expense at CCHL and CCSW totaling $1.5 million, partially offset by higher variable/performance-based compensation of $0.6
million and base salaries (primarily annual merit raises) of $0.2 million at the Bank. Compared to the third quarter of 2021, the $0.5
million decrease in compensation expense reflected lower variable/performance -based compensation at CCHL totaling $1.5 million,
partially offset by higher variable/performance-based compensation of $0.7 million and base salaries of $0.3 million at the Bank.
For the first nine months of 2022, compensation expense totaled $75.0 million compared to $76.7 million for the same period of 2021
with the $1.7 million decrease attributable to lower variable/performance-based compensation at CCHL of $7.0 million, partially
offset by higher variable/performance-based compensation totaling $2.8 million, base salaries (merit and new market staffing
additions) of $2.0 million, and associate insurance expense (utilized self-insurance reserves in 2021) of $0.6 million at the Bank.
Occupancy
. Occupancy expense totaled $6.2 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $6.1 million for the second quarter of
2022 and $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, occupancy expense totaled $18.3 million
compared to $18.0 million for the same period of 2021. Compared to the nine month period of 2021, the increase was attributable to
higher software expense and banking office lease expense.
Other
. Other expense totaled $8.9 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2022 and
$8.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, the $0.1 million decrease was primarily due to
lower advertising expense of $0.3 million and professional fees of $0.1 million, partially offset by higher miscellaneous expense of
$0.2 million (debit card losses). Compared to the third quarter of 2021, the $0.5 million increase was primarily attributable to higher
other real estate expense of $1.0 million, partially offset by lower pension settlement expense of $0.4 million.
For the first nine months of 2022, other expense totaled $26.2 million compared to $27.6 million for the same period of 2021 with the
$1.4 million decrease primarily attributable to lower pension settlement expense of $2.0 million, miscellaneous expense of $1.1
million, and professional fees of $0.2 million, partially offset by higher expense for other real estate expense of $1.4 million,
advertising of $0.4 million, and insurance–other of $0.2 million. A lower level of lump sum retirements in 2022 drove the decrease in
pension settlement expense compared to the three and nine month periods of 2021. We expect additional pension settlement expense
for the remainder of 2022 based on our current estimate of lump sum pension pay-outs to retirees. Lower compliance support costs
drove the decline in professional fees. The higher level of other real estate expense was attributable to gains from the sale of two
banking offices in 2021. The increase in advertising expense is related to new market expansion and return of brand advertising to
pre-pandemic levels. Higher FDIC insurance costs related to an increase in asset size drove the increase in insurance-other. The
decrease in miscellaneous expense was primarily attributable to lower expense for our base pension plan service cost of $3.7 million
that was partially offset by higher expense for travel/entertainment of $0.5 million, mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) of $0.5 million,
other losses of $0.6 million, a $0.3 million expense for our VISA share swap agreement, loan servicing costs of $0.2 million, credit
bureau/appraisal fees of $0.1 million, and training costs of $0.1 million.
Our operating efficiency ratio (expressed as noninterest expense as a percentage of the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income
plus noninterest income) was 70.66% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 75.96% for the second quarter of 2022 and 73.09% for
the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, this ratio was 74.60% compared to 75.83% for the same period of 2021.
Income Taxes
We realized income tax expense of $3.1 million (effective rate of 21.4%) for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $2.2 million
(effective rate of 19.4%) for the second quarter of 2022 and $2.9 million (effective rate of 20.3%) for the third quarter of 2021. For
the first nine months of 2022, we realized income tax expense of $7.5 million (effective rate of 20.3%) compared to $7.8 million
(effective rate of 19.4%) for the same period of 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2022 was primarily attributable to a
lower level of pre-tax income from CCHL as the noncontrolling interest adjustment for CCHL is accounted for as a permanent tax
adjustment. Absent discrete items, we expect our annual effective tax rate to approximate 21% in 2022.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Average earning assets totaled $4.010 billion for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $35.7 million, or 0.9%, over the second
quarter of 2022, and an increase of $218.6 million, or 5.8%, over the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase over both prior periods was
primarily driven by higher deposit balances (see below –
Deposits
). The mix of earning assets continues to improve driven by strong
loan growth.
40
Investment Securities
Average investment s decreased $24.0 million, or 2.1% from the second quarter of 2022 and increased $129.6 million, or 13.1%, over
the fourth quarter of 2021. Our investment portfolio represented 27.9% of our average earning assets for the third quarter of 2022
compared to 28.8% for the second quarter of 2022 and 26.1% for the fourth quarter of 2021. For the remainder of 2022, we will
continue to monitor our overall liquidity position and, dependent on market conditions, look for opportunities to reinvest a portion of
the proceeds into additional securities that align with our overall investment strategy.
The investment portfolio is a significant component of our operations and, as such, it functions as a key element of liquidity and
asset/liability management. Two types of classifications are approved for investment securities which are Availabl e-for-Sale (“AFS”)
and Held-to-Maturity (“HTM”). At September 30, 2022, $416.7 million, or 38.1%, of our investment portfolio was classified as AFS,
and $676.2 million, or 61.8%, classified as HTM. The average maturity of our total portfolio at September 30, 2022 was 3.51 years
compared to 3.51 years at June 30, 2022 and 3.63 years at December 31, 2021. During the quarter, to mitigate risk to AOCI due to
higher interest rates, we reclassified 33 U.S. Treasury obligations totaling $168.4 million with unrealized losses of $9.4 million from
AFS to HTM. At September 30, 2022, $8.8 million was remaining in unrealized losses relating to these securities.
We determine the classification of a security at the time of acquisition based on how the purchase will affect our asset/liability strategy
and future business plans and opportunities. We consider multiple factors in determining classification, including regulatory capital
requirements, volatility in earnings or other comprehensive income, and liquidity needs. Securities in the AFS portfolio are recorded
at fair value with unrealized gains and losses associated with these securities recorded net of tax, in the accumulated other
comprehensive income component of shareowners’ equity. HTM securities are acquired or owned with the intent of holding them to
maturity. HTM investments are measured at amortized cost. We do not trade, nor do we presently intend to begin trading investment
securities for the purpose of recognizing gains and therefore we do not maintain a trading portfolio.
At September 30, 2022, there were 897 positions (combined AFS and HTM) with unrealized losses totaling $97.5 million (see Note 2
– Investment Securities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for detail by category). 87 of these positions are U.S.
Treasury bonds and carry the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. 682 are U.S. government agency securities issued by U.S.
government sponsored entities. We believe the long history of no credit losses on government securities indicates that the expectation
of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. The remaining 128 positions (Municipal securities and corporate bonds) have a
credit component. At September 30, 2022, corporate debt securities had an allowance for credit losses of $28,000 and municipal
securities had an allowance of $13,000. At September 30, 2022, all CMO, MBS, SBA, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Treasury bonds held
were AAA rated.
Loans HFI
Average loans held for investment (“HFI”) increased $179.4 million, or 8.6%, over the second quarter of 2022 and increased $315.8
million, or 16.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2021. Period end loans increased $132.5 million, or 6.0%, over the second quarter of
2022 and $414.7 million, or 21.5%, over the fourth quarter of 2021. The growth in 2022 has been broad based with increases realized
in all loan categories, more significantly, residential mortgage, residential construction and commercial real estate. The slowdown in
secondary market residential loan sales has allowed us to book a steady flow of CCHL’s adjustable rate production in our loan
portfolio throughout 2022.
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
Overall credit quality remains strong. Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $2. 4 million at September
30, 2022 compared to $3.2 million at June 30, 2022 and $4.3 million at December 31, 2021. At September 30, 2022, nonperforming
assets as a percent of total assets equaled 0.06% compared to 0.07% at June 30, 2022 and 0.10% at December 31, 2021. Nonaccrual
loans totaled $2.4 million at September 30, 2022, a $0.7 million decrease from June 30, 2022 and a $1.9 million decrease from
December 31, 2021. Further, classified loans increased $1.4 million over the second quarter of 2022 to $21.0 million.
41
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount
expected to be collected on the loans. The allowance for credit losses is adjusted by a credit loss provision which is reported in
earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts (net of recoveries). Loans are charged off against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts
previously charged-off and expected to be charged -off. Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancellable off-balance sheet credit
exposures is provided through the credit loss provision, but recorded as a separate liability included in other liabilities.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources relating to past
events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical loan default and loss experience provides the basis for
the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information incorporate management’s view of current
conditions and forecasts.
At September 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses for HFI loans totaled $22.5 million compared to $21.3 million at June 30, 2022
and $21.6 million at December 31, 2021. Activity within the allowance is provided in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
The $1.2 million increase in the allowance for the third quarter was driven by incremental reserves needed for loan growth and, to a
lesser extent, a higher projected rate of unemployment and its potential effect on rates of default. Net charge-offs decreased $0.4
million to $0.7 million for the third quarter of 2022. At September 30, 2022, the allowance represented 0.96% of HFI loans and
provided coverage of 935% of nonperforming loans compared to 0.96% and 678%, respectively, at June 30, 2022, and 1.12% and
500%, respectively, at December 31, 2021.
At September 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments totaled $3.0 compared to $2.9 million at June 30,
2022 and $2.9 million at December 31, 2021. The allowance for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities.
Deposits
Average total deposits were $3.770 billion for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $4.5 million, or 0.1%, over the second quarter
of 2022 and $220.7 million, or 6.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2021. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, the increase reflected
higher noninterest bearing and savings balances. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, we have had strong growth in our
noninterest bearing deposits, NOW accounts, and savings account balances. Over the past few years, we have experienced strong core
deposit growth. We continue to closely monitor our cost of deposits and deposit mix as we manage through the current rising rate
environment. It is anticipated that liquidity levels will remain strong given our current level of overnight funds.
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 arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. We have risk
management policies designed to monitor and limit exposure to market risk and we do not participate in activities that give rise to
significant market risk involving exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. In asset and liability management activities, our
policies are 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 reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets. When
interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice 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 reprice more
quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling market 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.
42
We have established what we believe to be a comprehensive interest rate risk management policy, which is administered by
management’s Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”). The policy establishes limits of risk, 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 captures
optionality factors such as call features and interest rate caps and floors imbedded in investment and loan portfolio contracts. As with
any method of gauging interest rate risk, there are certain shortcomings inherent in the interest rate modeling methodology used by
us. 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 assumptions used in the model. Finally, the
methodology does not measure or reflect the impact that higher rates may have on adjustable-rate loan clients’ ability to service their
debts, or the impact of rate changes on demand for loan and deposit products.
The statement of financial condition is subject to testing for interest rate shock possibilities to indicate the inherent interest rate risk.
We prepare a current base case and several alternative interest rate simulations (-300, -200, -100,+100, +200, +300, and +400 basis
points (bp)), at least once per quarter, and report the analysis to ALCO, our Market Risk Oversight Committee (“MROC”), our
Enterprise Risk Oversight Committee (“EROC”) and the Board of Directors. (The -300bp rate scenario was reintroduced into the
model beginning in the third quarter of 2022 due to the higher interest rate environment). We augment our interest rate shock analysis
with alternative interest rate scenarios on a quarterly basis that may include ramps, parallel shifts, and a flattening or steepening of the
yield curve (non-parallel shift). In addition, more frequent forecasts may be produced when interest rates are particularly uncertain or
when other business conditions so dictate.
Our goal is to structure the statement of financial condition 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 attempt to
achieve this goal by balancing, within policy limits, the volume of floating-rate liabilities with a similar volume of floating-rate assets,
by keeping the average maturity of fixed-rate asset and liability contracts reasonably matched, by managing the mix of our core
deposits, and by adjusting our rates to market conditions on a continuing basis.
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 (“NII”) at Risk position indicates that in the short-term, all rising rate environments will positively impact the
net interest margin of the Company, while declining rate environments will have a negative impact on the net interest margin.
Compared to the second quarter of 2022, these metrics became less favorable in the rising rate scenarios primarily due to loan growth,
which reduced our level of overnight funds and made us slightly less asset sensitive. The converse is true in that metrics became more
favorable in the down rate scenarios due to loan growth which increased asset duration and therefore protection against falling rates.
The percent change over both a 12-month and 24-month shock are outside of policy in a rates down 200 bps and down 300 bps
scenario due to our limited ability to lower our deposit rates relative to the decline in market rate.
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 by discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of assets and liabilities. The difference between these
discounted values of the assets and liabilities is the economic value of equity, which in theory approximates the fair value of our net
assets.

At September 30, 2022, the economic value of equity was favorable in all rising rate environments and unfavorable in the falling rate
environments. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, EVE metrics became less favorable in a rising rate environment primarily due
to the use of cash to fund loan growth and became more favorable in the rates down scenario as loan growth extended our asset
duration. EVE is currently in compliance with policy in all rate scenarios as the EVE ratio in each rate scenario exceeds 5.0%.
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 change in mix of our financial assets and liabilities, 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 September 30, 2022, we had the ability to generate $1.479 billion in additional liquidity through all of our available resources (this
excludes $497.7 million in overnight funds sold). In addition to the primary borrowing outlets mentioned above, we also have the
ability to generate liquidity by borrowing from the Federal Reserve Discount Window and through brokered deposits. We recognize
the importance of maintaining liquidity and have developed a Contingent Liquidity Plan, which addresses various liquidity stress
levels and our response and action based on the level of severity. We periodically test our credit facilities for access to the funds, but
also understand that as the severity of the liquidity level increases that certain credit facilities may no longer be available. We conduct
a liquidity stress test on a quarterly basis based on events that could potentially occur at the Bank and report results to ALCO, our
Market Risk Oversight Committee, Risk Oversight Committee, and the Board of Directors. At September 30, 2022, 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 primarily consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S.
governmental and federal agencies, municipal governments, corporate bonds, and asset-backed securities. The weighted average life
of the portfolio was approximately 3.51 years at September 30, 2022, and the available for sale portfolio had a net unrealized pre-tax
loss of $45.0 million.
We maintained an average net overnight funds (interest deposits with banks plus FED funds sold less FED funds purchased) sold
position of $570.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $691.9 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $789.1 million in
the fourth quarter of 2021. The declining overnight funds position reflects growth in average loans.
We expect our capital expenditures will be approximately $8.0 million over the next 12 months, which will primarily consist of
construction of new offices, 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.
44
Borrowings
Average short term borrowings totaled $46.7 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $31.8 million for the second quarter of
2022 and $46.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The variance compared to both prior periods was primarily attributable to an
increase in short-term repurchase agreements and CCHL’s warehouse line. Additional detail on these borrowings is provided in Note
4 – Mortgage Banking Activities in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have issued two junior subordinated deferrable interest notes to our wholly owned Delaware statutory trusts. The first note for
$30.9 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust I in November 2004, of which $10 million was retired in April 2016. The second
note for $32.0 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust II in May 2005. The interest payment for the CCBG Capital Trust I
borrowing is due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.90%. This note matures
on December 31, 2034. The interest payment for the CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing is due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a
variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.80%. This note matures on June 15, 2035. The proceeds from these
borrowings were used to partially fund acquisitions. Under the terms of each junior subordinated deferrable interest note, in the event
of default or if we elect to defer interest on the note, we may not, with certain exceptions, declare or pay dividends or make
distributions on our capital stock or purchase or acquire any of our capital stock. We continue to evaluate the impact of the expected
discontinuation of LIBOR on our two junior subordinated deferrable interest notes.
During the second quarter of 2020, we entered into a derivative cash flow hedge of our interest rate risk related to our subordinated
debt. The notional amount of the derivative is $30 million ($10 million of the CCBG Capital Trust I borrowing and $20 million of the
CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing). The interest rate swap agreement requires CCBG to pay fixed and receive variable (Libor plus
spread) and has an average all-in fixed rate of 2.50% for 10 years. Additional detail on the interest rate swap agreement is provided in
Note 5 – Derivatives in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Capital
Our capital ratios are presented in the Selected Quarterly Financial Data table on page 33. At September 30, 2022, our regulatory
capital ratios exceeded the threshold to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards.
Shareowners’ equity was $373.2 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $371.7 million at June 30, 2022 and $383.2 million at
December 31, 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable to
common shareowners of $28.5 million, a $3.3 million increase in the fair value of the interest rate swap related to subordinated debt,
stock compensation accretion of $0.9 million, net adjustments totaling $0.8 million related to transactions under our stock
compensation plans, and a $0.4 million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss for our pension plan. Shareowners’
equity was reduced by common stock dividends of $8.3 million ($0.49 per share) and a $35.6 million increase in the unrealized loss
on investment securities.
At September 30, 2022, our common stock had a book value of $21.95 per diluted share compared to $21.89 at June 30, 2022 and
$22.63 at December 31, 2021. Book value is impacted by the net after-tax unrealized gains and losses on AFS investment securities.
At September 30, 2022, the net loss was $40.2 million compared to a net loss of $31.7 million at June 30, 2022 and $4.6 million at
December 31, 2021. Book value is also impacted by the recording of our unfunded pension liability through other comprehensive
income in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715. At September 30, 2022, the net pension liability reflected
in other comprehensive loss was $12.8 million compared to $12.9 million at June 30, 2022 and $13.2 million at December 31, 2021.
This liability is re-measured annually on December 31
st
assumptions used in calculating the liability are discussed in our 2021 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 $4.6 million (after-tax) using the
balances from the December 31, 2021 measurement date.
45
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our
clients.
At September 30, 2022, we had $791.6 million in commitments to extend credit and $5.5 million in standby letters of credit.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since
many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance
of a client to a third party. We use the same credit policies in establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as we do for on-
balance sheet instruments.
If commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require funding at historical levels, management does not
anticipate that such funding will adversely impact our ability to meet our on-going obligations. In the event these commitments
require funding in excess of historical levels, management believes current liquidity, advances available from the FHLB and the
Federal Reserve, and investment security maturities provide a sufficient source of funds to meet these commitments.
Certain agreements provide that the commitments are unconditionally cancellable by the bank and for those agreements no allowance
for credit losses has been recorded. We have recorded an allowance for credit losses on loan commitments that are not
unconditionally cancellable by the bank, which is included in other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition and
totaled $3.0 million at September 30, 2022.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2021 Form 10-K.
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP and reporting practices applicable to the banking
industry requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We have identified accounting for (i) the allowance for credit losses, (ii) valuation of goodwill, (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 2021 Form 10-K.
