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

legislative or regulatory changes;
changes in monetary and fiscal policies
 
of the U.S. Government;

changes in the securities and real estate markets;
structural changes in the markets for origination, sale and servicing of residential mortgages;

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 magnitude and duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy and financial market conditions

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.

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

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

statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes
 
required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements.

Accounting Standards Updates
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
 
2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic
 
326)
.
 
In March 2022, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
 
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 restructurings
 
("TDRs")
in 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. The Company is evaluating the effect
 
that
ASU 2022-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and
 
related disclosures.

At March 31, 2022, there were
673
 
positions (combined Available-for-Sale
 
and Held-to-Maturity) with unrealized losses totaling
$
49.9
 
million.
553
 
of these positions were U.S. government agency securities issued by U.S. government
 
sponsored entities.
 
Municipal securities totaled
48
 
positions.
 
The remaining
72
 
positions were corporate debt and asset backed securities.
 
These
investment securities had allowance for credit losses totaling less than $
0.1
 
million at March 31, 2022.
 
The declines in the fair values
of these securities were attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality.
 
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.

Net deferred loan costs, which include premiums on purchased loans,

million at March 31, 2022 and $
3.9
million at December 31, 2021.
Accrued interest receivable on loans which is excluded from amortized
 
cost totaled $
5.8
 
million at March 31, 2022 and $
5.3
 
million at
December 31, 2021, and is reported separately in Other Assets.
The Company has pledged a blanket floating lien on all 1-4 family residential mortgage
 
loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans,
and home equity loans to support available borrowing capacity at the FHLB of
 
Atlanta and has pledged a blanket floating lien on all
consumer loans, commercial loans, and construction loans to support available
 
borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta.
Loan Purchase and Sales
.
 
The Company will periodically purchase newly originated 1-4 family real
 
estate secured adjustable rate
loans from Capital City Home Loans (“CCHL”), a related party.
 
Residential loan purchases from CCHL totaled $
26.3
 
million and
$
22.2
 
million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively,
 
and were not credit impaired.
 
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

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the allowance decreased
 
by $
0.9
 
million and reflected a provision benefit of $
0.1
 
million
and net loan charge-offs of $
0.8
 
million. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the allowance decreased
 
$
1.8
 
million which
reflected a provision benefit of $
2.3
 
million and net loan recoveries of $
0.5
 
million.
 
The provision benefit for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 reflected improvement in the
 
forecasted level 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.
 
See Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies for information on the allowance for
 
off-
balance sheet credit commitments.

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

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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $
0.9
 
million
and $
0.9
 
million, respectively, in 1-4 family
 
residential real estate loans for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process.
Troubled
 
Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”).
 
At March 31, 2022, the Company had $
7.5
 
million in TDRs, of which $
7.3
 
million were
performing in accordance with the modified terms.
 
At December 31, 2021 the Company had $
8.0
 
million in TDRs, of which $
7.6
million were performing in accordance with modified terms.
 
For TDRs, the Company estimated $
0.3
 
million and $
0.3
 
million of
credit loss reserves at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, 2022 there were
no
 
loans modified.
 
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,
2022 and 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.
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 at its subsidiary,
 
CCHL, include mandatory delivery loan sales, forward sales contracts
used to manage residential loan pipeline price risk, utilization of warehouse
 
lines to fund secondary market residential loan closings,
and residential mortgage servicing.
 
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, 2022, the servicing portfolio balance consisted of the
 
following loan types: FNMA (
60
%),
GNMA (
8
%), and private investor (
32
%).
 
FNMA and private investor loans are structured as actual/actual payment remittance.
 
The Company had $

million and $
2.0
 
million in delinquent residential mortgage loans currently in GNMA pools
 
serviced by the
Company at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
 
The right to repurchase these loans and the corresponding liability
has been recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively,
 
in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.
 
For the
three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased $
0.4
 
million in delinquent residential loans currently in GNMA pools.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased
 
$

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 March 31, 2022.
 
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
December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 was $
14.8
 
and $
15.3
 
million, respectively.
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, 2022 were designed as a cash flow hedge for subordinated
debt.
 
Under the swap arrangement, the Company will pay a fixed interest rate of
2.50
% and receive a variable interest rate based on
three-month LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of
1.83
%.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate
 
risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently
 
reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during
which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported
 
in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives
will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the
 
Company’s variable-rate subordinated
 
debt.

NOTE 6 – LEASES
Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating
 
lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating
liabilities, included in other assets and liabilities, respectively,
 
on its Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.
 
The Company’s operating
 
leases primarily relate to banking offices with remaining lease terms
 
from
1
 
to
44
 
years.
 
The Company’s
leases are not complex and do not contain residual value guarantees, variable
 
lease payments, or significant assumptions or judgments
made in applying the requirements of Topic
 
842.
 
Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 
At March 31, 2022, the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were $
11.7
 
million and $
12.3
 
million, respectively. At December
31, 2021, ROU assets and liabilities were $
11.5
 
million and $
12.2
 
million, respectively.
 
The Company does not have any finance
leases or any significant lessor agreements.

9.3
 
million based on the initial contract terms of
15 years
, and the fourth
lease has payments totaling $
1.4
 
million based on the initial contract term of
10 years
.
 
Payments for the banking offices are expected
to commence after the construction periods end, which are each expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first
quarter of 2023.
 
A related party is the lessor in an operating lease with the Company.
 
The Company’s minimum payment
 
is $
0.2

through 2024, for an aggregate remaining obligation of $
0.5
 
million at March 31, 2022.
NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time
 
and eligible part-time associates and a
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) and a Supplemental
 
Executive Retirement Plan II (“SERP II”) covering its
executive officers.
 
The defined benefit plan was amended in December 2019 to remove plan eligibility
 
for new associates hired after
December 31, 2019.
 
The SERP II was adopted by the Company’s
 
Board on May 21, 2020 and covers certain executive officers that
were not covered by the SERP.
 
The components of the net periodic benefit cost for the Company's qualified

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lending Commitments
.
 
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance
 
sheet risks in the normal course of business
to meet the financing needs of its clients.
 
These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby
 
letters of
credit.

The Company’s maximum exposure
 
to credit loss under standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented
 
by
the contractual amount of those instruments.
 
The Company uses the same credit policies in establishing commitments
 
and issuing
letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
 
The amounts associated with the Company’s
 
off-balance sheet
obligations were as follows:

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

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 $
0.2
 
million.
 
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. Treasur
 
y
 
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 March 31, 2022,
no
 
amount was payable. At December 31, 2021, there was a $
0.1
 
million payable.

Mortgage Banking Activities
.
 
The Company had Level 3 issuances and transfers related to mortgage
 
banking activities of $
4.3
 
million
and $
13.6
 
million, respectively, for the
 
three months ended March 31, 2022 and $
15.4
 
million and $
10.5
 
million, respectively, for the
three months ended March 31, 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.
 
27
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 $
1.5
 
million with a valuation allowance of $
0.1
 
million at March 31, 2022
and $
2.8
 
million and $
0.2
 
million, respectively,
 
at December 31, 2021.
Other Real Estate Owned
.
 
During the first three 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 March 31, 2022, there was
no
 
valuation allowance for loan servicing rights
compared to $
0.3
 
million valuation allowance at December 31, 2021.
 
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”.
 
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 and estimated discount
 
rates.
 
Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2016-01,
Recognition and
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial
 
Liabilities
, the values reported reflect the incorporation of 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
 
OF
OPERATIONS
Management’s discussion
 
and analysis ("MD&A") provides supplemental information, which sets forth
 
the major factors that have
affected our financial condition and results of operations
 
and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes.
 
The following information should provide a better understanding of
 
the major factors and trends that
affect our earnings performance and financial condition,
 
and how our performance during 2022 compares with prior years.
 
Throughout this section, Capital City Bank Group, Inc., and subsidiaries, collectively,
 
is referred to as "CCBG," "Company,"
 
"we,"
"us," or "our."
CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD
 
-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this MD&A section, contains
 
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
 
These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about
 
our
beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates and intentions that are
 
subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are
subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond
 
our control.
 
The words "may," "could,"
 
"should," "would,"
"believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "target,"
 
"vision," "goal," and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties.
 
Our actual future results may differ materially
from those set forth in our forward-looking statements.
 
Please see the Introductory Note and
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
of our 2021
Report on Form 10-K, as updated in our subsequent quarterly reports filed on Form
 
10-Q, and in our other filings made from time to
time with the SEC after the date of this report.
However, other factors besides those listed in our
 
Quarterly Report or in our Annual Report also could adversely affect
 
our results,
and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or
 
uncertainties.
 
Any forward-looking
statements made by us or on our behalf speak only as of the date they are made.
 
We do not undertake to
 
update any forward-looking
statement, except as required by applicable law.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a financial
 
holding company headquartered in Tallahassee,
 
Florida, and we are the parent of our wholly owned subsidiary,
Capital City Bank (the "Bank" or "CCB").
 
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 $8.5 million, or
 
$0.50 per diluted share, for the first
quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $6.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share,
 
for the fourth quarter of 2021, and $9.5 million, or
$0.56 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021.
 
Net Interest Income
.
 
Tax-equivalent net
 
interest income for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $24.8 million, comparable
 
to the fourth
quarter of 2021, and $24.6 million for the first quarter of 2021.
 
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, higher rates on overnight
funds and growth in the investment portfolio was offset
 
by two less calendar days during the quarter.
 
Compared to the first quarter of
2021, interest income grew as a result of our larger investment portfolio,
 
in addition to a reduction in interest expense, partially offset
by lower loan fees.
 
Provision and Allowance for Credit
 
Losses.
 
We did not
 
record a provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2022 or
 
the fourth
quarter of 2021 and recorded a negative provision of $1.0 million for
 
the first quarter of 2021.
 
The lack of provision for the first
quarter of 2022 reflected continued strong credit quality and slight improvement
 
in the forecasted level of unemployment.
 
Noninterest Income
.
 
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $25.8 million, an increase
 
of $1.1 million, or 4.5%, over
the fourth quarter of 2021 and a decrease of $4.0 million, or 13.4%, from
 
the first quarter of 2021.
 
The increase over the fourth
quarter of 2021 was due to higher wealth management fees, primarily
 
insurance revenues.
 
The decline from the first quarter 2021 was
driven by lower mortgage banking revenues (largely
 
attributable to lower loan refinancing activity and a lower gain on
 
sale margin)
that were partially offset by higher activity based fees
 
(deposit and bank card).
Noninterest Expense
.
 
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $39.2 million, a decrease of $1.0
 
million, or 2.4%, from
the fourth quarter of 2021 and a $1.3 million, or 3.1%, decrease from
 
the first quarter of 2021.
 
The decrease from the fourth quarter of
2021 was primarily attributable to a decrease in other miscellaneous expense,
 
primarily pension expense.
 
The decrease from the first
quarter of 2021 was driven by lower mortgage banking commissions and
 
pension expense. These favorable variances were partially
offset by higher insurance commissions, associate benefits,
 
other real estate and miscellaneous expenses.
 
 
Financial Condition
Earning Assets.
 
Average earning assets totaled
 
$3.939 billion for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $147.5 million,
 
or 3.9%,
over the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of $440.9 million, or
 
12.6%, over the first quarter of 2021.
 
The increase over the
fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to seasonal growth
 
in our public fund deposits. The increase compared to the first
quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by higher deposit balances.
 
Loans
.
 
Average loans held for investment
 
(“HFI”) increased $15.3 million, or 0.8%, over the fourth quarter of 2021
 
and decreased
$80.8 million, or 4.0%, from the first quarter of 2021. Excluding small business
 
(“SBA PPP”) loans, average loans HFI increased
$18.8 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, and increased $115.9
 
million compared to the first quarter of 2021.
 
New loan
production strengthened in the latter part of the first quarter of 2022 resulting
 
in period end loan growth of $54 million over the fourth
quarter of 2021.
 
Credit Quality
.
 
Overall credit quality is strong and continues to improve.
 
Nonaccrual loans totaled $2.7 million at March 31, 2022, a
$1.6
 
million decrease from December 31, 2021 and a $2.7 million decrease from March 31, 2021.
 
At March 31, 2022 and December
31, 2021, nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.13% and 0.21%,
 
respectively. Classified loans increased
 
$4.4 million
over the fourth quarter of 2021 and reflected one loan relationship that
 
is in the loan workout process and has been reserved for at
March 31, 2022.
 
Deposits
.
 
Average total
 
deposits were $3.714 billion for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $164.9 million,
 
or 4.6%, over the
fourth quarter of 2021 and $474.6 million, or 14.6%, over the first quarter
 
of 2021.
 
Growth over the fourth quarter of 2021 was
primarily attributable to an increase in seasonal public fund deposits. Various
 
government stimulus programs contributed to the year
over year increase.
 
Capital
.
 
At March 31, 2022, we were well-capitalized with a total risk-based capital
 
ratio of 16.98% and a tangible common equity
ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) of 6.61% compared to 17.15%
 
and 6.95%, respectively,
 
at December 31, 2021 and 17.20% and
6.13%, respectively, at March
 
31, 2021.
 
At March 31, 2022, 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 2022, we realized net income attributable to common
 
shareowners of $8.5 million, or $0.50 per diluted share,
compared to net income of $6.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter
 
of 2021, and $9.5 million, or $0.56 per
diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021.
 
For the first quarter of 2022, we realized income before income taxes of
 
$11.3 million compared to $9.2 million for
 
the fourth quarter
of 2021 and $14.8 million for the first quarter of 2021. Compared to
 
the fourth quarter of 2021, the $2.1 million increase was
attributable to a $1.1
 
million increase in noninterest income and lower noninterest expense of
 
$1.0 million. Compared to the first
quarter of 2021, the $3.5 million decrease in income before income taxes
 
was attributable to a $4.0 million decrease in noninterest
income and a $1.0 million increase in the provision for credit losses that was partially offset
 
by lower noninterest expense of $1.3
million and higher net interest income of $0.2 million.
 
A condensed earnings summary of each major component of our financial
 
performance is provided below:

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 2022 totaled $24.8 million, comparable to the fourth
 
quarter of 2021, and
$24.6 million for the first quarter of 2021.
 
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, higher rates on overnight funds and growth
 
in the
investment portfolio was offset by two less calendar days during
 
the quarter.
 
Compared to the first quarter of 2021, interest income
grew as a result of our larger investment portfolio and a reduction
 
in interest expense, partially offset by lower loan fees.
 
Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2022 was 2.55%, a decrease
 
of five basis points from the fourth quarter of 2021 and a
decrease of 30 basis points from the first quarter of 2021.
 
Compared to both prior periods, the decrease was primarily attributable to
growth in earning assets (driven by deposit inflows), which negatively
 
impacted our margin percentage. Our net interest margin
 
for
the first quarter of 2022, excluding the impact of overnight funds
 
in excess of $200 million, was 3.11%.
 
Due to highly competitive fixed-rate loan pricing in our markets, we continue
 
to review our loan pricing and make adjustments where
we believe appropriate and prudent.

Provision for Credit Losses
We did not
 
record a provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2022 or the fourth quarter of 2021
 
and recorded a provision
benefit of $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2021.
 
The lack of provision for the first quarter of 2022 reflected continued strong
 
credit
quality and slight improvement in the forecasted level of unemployment.
 
The provision benefit for the first quarter of 2021 generally
reflected improving economic conditions and a lower level of expected
 
losses related to COVID-19.
 
We discuss the allowance
 
for
credit losses further below.
 
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $25.8 million compared
 
to $24.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and
$29.8 million for the first quarter of 2021.
 
The increase over the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to higher wealth
management fees of $2.1 million that were partially offset by
 
lower mortgage banking revenues of $0.9 million.
 
The increase in
wealth management fees was attributable to higher insurance commission
 
revenues. Lower loan production and a slightly lower gain
on sale margin drove the decline in mortgage banking
 
revenues. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, the decline was due to lower
mortgage banking revenues attributable to lower loan production (primarily
 
refinancing activity) and a lower gain on sale margin.
 
Noninterest income represented 51.1% of operating revenues (net interest
 
income plus noninterest income) for the first quarter of 2022
compared to 50.0% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 54.9% for the first quarter of 2021.
The table below reflects the major components of noninterest income to help
 
facilitate a better understanding of the period over period
comparison.

Significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more
 
detail below.
Deposit Fees
.
 
Deposit fees for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $5.2 million, a decrease of $0.1
 
million, or 2.1%, from the fourth
quarter of 2021 and an increase of $0.9 million, or 21.5%, over the first quarter of
 
2021.
 
The decline from the fourth quarter of 2021
reflects two less days of processing.
 
The increase over the first quarter of 2021 reflected higher account
 
maintenance fees attributable
to the third quarter 2021 conversion of the remaining free checking accounts
 
to monthly maintenance fee account types.
Bank Card Fees
.
 
Bank card fees for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $3.8 million, a decrease of $0.1
 
million, or 2.8%, from the fourth
quarter of 2021 and an increase of $0.2 million, or 4.0%, over the first quarter
 
of 2021.
 
The decline from the fourth quarter of 2021
reflects two less days of processing.
 
The increase over the first quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable
 
to growth in checking
accounts.
 
Wealth
 
Management Fees
.
 
Wealth management fees,
 
which include both trust fees (i.e., managed accounts and trusts/estates), retail
brokerage fees (i.e., investment,
 
insurance products, and retirement accounts), and insurance commission
 
revenues,
 
totaled $6.1
million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.1 million or 54.8%, over the
 
fourth quarter of 2021 and an increase of $3.0
million, or 96.5%, over the first quarter of 2021.
 
Insurance commission revenues was the primary driver of the increase over
 
both
prior periods.
 
Higher retail brokerage fees also contributed to the increase over the first quarter of 2021.
 
At March 31, 2022, total
assets under management were approximately $2.329 billion compared
 
to $2.324 billion at December 31, 2021 and $2.088 billion at
March 31, 2021.

Mortgage Banking Revenues
.
 
Mortgage banking revenues totaled $8.9 million for the first quarter of
 
2022, a decrease of $0.9 million,
or 8.7%, from the fourth quarter of 2021 and a decrease of $8.2 million, or 47.
 
8% from the first quarter of 2021.
 
The decrease from
the fourth quarter of 2021 reflected lower loan production and a slightly lower gain on
 
sale margin.
 
Compared to the first quarter of
2021, the decline was due to lower loan production (largely
 
refinancing activity),
 
and a lower gain on sale margin.
 
We provide a
detailed overview of our mortgage banking operation, including
 
a detailed break-down of mortgage banking revenues, mortgage
servicing activity,
 
and warehouse funding within Note 4 - Mortgage Banking Activities in the Notes to
 
Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
Production volume totaled $247 million for the first quarter of 2022,
 
$294 million for the fourth quarter of 2021,
 
and
$463 million for the first quarter of 2021.
 
Refinancing activity represented 21% of loan production for the first quarter of 2022,
 
24%
for the fourth quarter of 2021, and 40% for the first quarter of 2021.
 
CCHL contributed approximately $0.4 million to CCBG
consolidated earnings in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $0.5 million in the fourth
 
quarter of 2021, and $1.6 million in the first
quarter of 2021.
 
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $39.2 million compared
 
to $40.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and
$40.5 million for the first quarter of 2021.
 
The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable
 
to lower other
expense of $1.2 million which included a $1.6 million decrease in pension
 
expense (reflected in miscellaneous expense).
 
Salary
expense increased $0.1 million and reflected higher variable commission
 
expense (higher insurance of $0.7 million partially offset by
lower mortgage banking of $0.6 million).
 
Compared to the first quarter of 2021, the decrease was primarily attributable
 
to lower
salary expense of $1.8 million, primarily lower variable commission expense
 
(lower mortgage banking of $2.6 million partially offset
by higher insurance of $0.8 million).
 
Associate benefits expense increased by $0.6 million and reflected higher
 
insurance expense
attributable to utilization of self-insurance reserves in 2021.
 
Pension expense declined by $1.0 million, but was substantially offset
 
by
higher expenses for other real estate and other miscellaneous.
 
The decrease in pension expense in 2022 generally reflected a higher
discount rate used in 2022 for determining plan liabilities and
 
strong asset returns in 2021.
The table below reflects the major components of noninterest expense to
 
help facilitate a better understanding of the year over year
comparison.

Compensation
.
 
Compensation expense totaled $24.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase
 
of $0.1 million, or less than
1.0%, over the fourth quarter of 2021 and a decrease of $1.2 million,
 
or 4.6%, from the first quarter of 2021.
 
Compared to the fourth
quarter of 2021, the $0.1 million increase in salary expense was primarily
 
attributable to higher commission expense of $0.7 million
related to higher insurance revenues that was partially offset
 
by lower commission expense of $0.6 million related to lower mortgage
banking revenues.
 
Compared to the first quarter of 2021, the decrease reflected lower salary expense
 
of $1.8 million partially offset
by higher associate benefit expense of $0.6 million.
 
The decline in salary expense reflected lower commission expense of $2.6
million related to mortgage banking revenues partially offset
 
by higher commission expense of $0.9 million related to insurance
revenues.
 
The increase in associate benefits expense was attributable to higher associate insurance expense
 
for the first quarter of
2021
 
we did not recognize expense due to the utilization of reserves related to our self-insured
 
plan.
Occupancy.
 
Occupancy expense (including premises and equipment) totaled $6.1
 
million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of
$0.1 million or 2.2% over the fourth quarter of 2021 and an increase
 
of $0.1 million, or 2.1%, over the first quarter of 2021.
 
The
increase over both prior periods was primarily related to
 
software additions related to certain risk management and strategic initiatives.
 
Other
.
 
Other noninterest expense totaled $8.3 million for the first quarter of
 
2022, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 12.5%, from the
fourth quarter of 2021 and a decrease of $0.2 million, or 1.9%, from
 
the first quarter of 2021.
 
The decrease from the fourth quarter of
2021 was primarily attributable to lower miscellaneous expense (pension
 
expense of $1.6 million partially offset by a higher level of
other loss expense of $0.2 million).
 
Compared to the first quarter of 2021, the decrease was primarily driven by lower
 
miscellaneous
expense (pension expense of $0.9 million partially offset by
 
higher other losses of $0.2 million, higher MSR amortization of $0.1
million, hiring expense of $0.1 million, and a $0.3 million favorable
 
MSR valuation reserve adjustment in the first quarter of 2021).
 
The lower level of pension expense in 2022 generally reflected a higher
 
discount rate in 2022 for determining plan liabilities and
strong asset returns in 2021.
 
Our operating efficiency ratio (expressed as noninterest
 
expense as a percent of the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income plus
noninterest income) was 77.55% for the first quarter of 2022 compared
 
to 81.29% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 74.36% for the
first quarter of 2021.
 
Income Taxes
We realized income
 
tax expense of $2.2 million (effective rate of 20%) for the first quarter of
 
2022 compared to $2.0 million
(effective rate of 22%) for the fourth quarter of 2021
 
and $2.8 million (effective rate of 19%) for the first quarter of 2021.
 
Tax
expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 was unfavorably impacted by discrete
 
tax expense of $0.1 million. Absent discrete items, we
expect our annual effective tax rate to approximate 19%
 
-20% in 2022.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Average earning
 
assets totaled $3.939 billion for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $147.5 million, or
 
3.9%, over the fourth
quarter of 2021, and an increase of $440.9 million, or 12.6%, over
 
the first quarter of 2021.
 
The increase over the fourth quarter of
2021 was primarily attributable to seasonal growth in our public fund deposits. The
 
increase compared to the first quarter of 2021 was
primarily driven by higher deposit balances (see below
 
– Deposits).
 
Investment Securities
Average investment
 
s
 
increased $68.1 million, or 6.9%, over the fourth quarter of 2021 and increased $526.5
 
million, or 98.8%, over
the first quarter of 2021.
 
Our investment portfolio represented 26.9% of our average earning assets for the first
 
quarter of 2022
compared to 26.1% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and 15.2% for the first
 
quarter of 2021.
 
During the first quarter of 2022, we
initiated buy programs
 
to add to our investment portfolio as part of our overall Statement of Financial
 
Condition management,
 
which
were completed by the end of the first quarter 2022.
 
For the remainder of 2022, we will continue to monitor our overall liquidity
position and, dependent on market conditions, look for opportunities to
 
reinvest proceeds and/or purchase 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 Available
 
-for-Sale (“AFS”)
and Held-to-Maturity (“HTM”).
 
During the first quarter of 2022, we purchased securities under
 
both the AFS and HTM designations.
 
At March 31, 2022, $624.4 million, or 54.6%, of our investment portfolio
 
was classified as AFS, and $518.7 million, or 45.3%,
classified as HTM.
 
The average maturity of our total portfolio at March 31, 2022
 
was 3.63 years compared to 3.63 years and 2.78
years at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.
 
38
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 maint
 
ain a trading portfolio.
At March 31, 2022, there were 673 positions (combined AFS and HTM)
 
with unrealized losses totaling $49.9 million.
 
Of these 673
positions, 501 of these positions carry the full faith and credit of the U.S.
 
Government (US Treasuries, SBA securities, and
 
GNMA
pools) and are 0% risk-weighted assets for regulatory purposes. There were
 
52 U.S. government agency securities issued by U.S.
government sponsored entities and carry the implicit guarantee of the
 
U.S. Government. We
 
believe the long history of no credit
losses on government securities indicates that the expectation of nonpayment
 
of the amortized cost basis is zero.
 
The remaining 120
positions (municipal securities, corporate bonds, and asset backed securities)
 
have a credit component.
 
At March 31, 2022, all CMO,
MBS, SBA, US Agencies, and Treasury
 
bonds held were AAA rated. Corporate debt securities had an allowance for
 
credit losses
totaling $21,000 at March 31, 2022 and municipal securities had an allowance
 
for credit losses totaling $15,000.
 
Loans HFI
Average loans
 
held for investment (“HFI”) increased $15.3 million, or 0.8%, over the fourth quarter of 2021
 
and decreased $80.8
million, or 4.0%, from the first quarter of 2021. Excluding SBA PPP loans, average
 
loans HFI increased $18.8 million compared to
the fourth quarter of 2021, and increased $115.9
 
million compared to the first quarter of 2021.
 
Compared to the fourth quarter of
2021, the increase in average loans (excluding SBA PPP loans) reflected
 
growth in commercial loans (primarily institutional),
residential loans, HELOCs, and consumer loans (indirect auto). Compared
 
to the first quarter of 2021, we realized growth in
commercial loans, construction loans, residential mortgages, and consumer
 
loans (indirect auto).
 
New loan production strengthened in
the latter part of the first quarter of 2022 resulting in period end loan growth of $54 million
 
over the fourth quarter of 2021. Period-end
increases were realized in most loan categories with the largest growth
 
in commercial loans (primarily institutional) and consumer
loans (indirect auto).
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 is strong and continues to improve.
 
Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $2.7
million at March 31, 2022 compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2021
 
and $5.5 million at March 31, 2021.
 
At March 31, 2022,
nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets totaled 0.06% compared
 
to 0.10% at December 31, 2021 and 0.14% at March 31,
2021.
 
Nonaccrual loans totaled $2.7 million at March 31, 2022, a $1.6 million decrease
 
from December 31, 2021 and a $2.8 million
decrease from March 31, 2021.
 
The $4.4 million increase in classified loans over the fourth quarter of 2021,
 
reflects one loan
relationship that is in the loan workout process and has been reserved
 
for at March 31, 2022.
 
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, 2022, the allowance for credit losses for HFI loans totaled $20.8
 
million compared to $21.6 million at December 31,
2021 and $22.0 million at March 31, 2021.
 
Activity within the allowance is detailed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements.
 
At March 31, 2022, the allowance represented 1.05% of HFI
 
loans and provided coverage of 761% of nonperforming
loans compared to 1.12% and 500%, respectively,
 
at December 31, 2021, and 1.07% and 411%, respectively,
 
at March 31, 2021.
 
At March 31, 2022, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments
 
totaled $3.0 million compared to $2.9 million at
December 31, 2021 and $3.0 million at March 31, 2021.
 
The allowance for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities.
Deposits
Average total
 
deposits were $3.714 billion for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $164.9 million,
 
or 4.6%, over the fourth quarter
of 2021 and $474.6 million, or 14.6%, over the first quarter of 2021.
 
Growth over the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily
attributable to an increase in seasonal public fund deposits. Compared to the first quarter 2021,
 
strong growth occurred in our
noninterest bearing deposits, NOW accounts, and savings account balances.
 
Over the past few years, we have experienced strong core
deposit growth, in addition to growth related to multiple government
 
stimulus programs in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, such
as those under the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act.
 
Given these increases, the potential exists for our deposit levels to
be volatile into 2022 due to the uncertain timing of the outflows of the stimulus related
 
balances, in addition to the frequency and
degree to which the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) raises the overnight
 
funds rate. It is anticipated that current liquidity
levels will remain robust due to our strong overnight funds sold position.
 
The Bank continues to strategically consider ways to safely
deploy a portion of this liquidity.
 
We monitor
 
deposit rates on an ongoing basis and adjust, if necessary,
 
as a prudent pricing discipline remains the key to managing our
mix of deposits.
MARKET RISK AND INTEREST RATE
 
SENSITIVITY
Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Overview.
 
Market risk 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.
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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
40
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 (-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 -200bp rate scenario was not modeled starting in the second half of
2019 due to the low interest rate environment below 2.00%). 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 a declining rate environment of 100bp will have a negative impact on the net interest
margin. These metrics became less favorable in rising rate scenarios
 
compared to the prior quarter as slightly longer duration assets
were purchased. The percent change in NII became less favorable in the down
 
rate scenario as the NII base increased due to higher
rates and now has more room to fall. All scenarios are within policy.
 
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 March 31, 2022, the economic value of equity was favorable
 
in all rising rate environments and unfavorable in a falling rate
environment. EVE metrics became less favorable in a rising rate environment
 
due to longer duration investments purchased in the
investment portfolio, and became more favorable in the rates down
 
scenario as our nonmaturity deposits became more valuable as
rates rose.
 
EVE is currently in compliance with policy in all rate scenarios.
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 March 31, 2022, we had the ability to generate
 
$1.477 billion in additional liquidity through all of our available resources (this
excludes $790 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, 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 3.63 years at March 31, 2022, and the available
 
for sale portfolio had a net unrealized pre-tax loss
of $31.5 million.
 
Our average overnight funds position (defined deposits with banks plus
 
Fed funds sold less Fed funds purchased) was $873.1 million
in the first quarter of 2022 compared to an average net overnight funds
 
sold position of $789.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021
and $814.6 million in the first quarter of 2021.
 
The increase over the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily due to growth in our
seasonal deposits.
 
The increase compared to the first quarter 2021 was driven by strong core deposit growth,
 
in addition to pandemic
related stimulus programs.
 
We expect our
 
capital expenditures will be approximately $8.0 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
Average short
 
term borrowings totaled $32.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $46.4
 
million for the fourth quarter of
2021 and $67.0 million for the first quarter of 2021. The variance over both prior
 
periods was primarily 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.
 
42
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 32.
 
At March 31, 2022, our regulatory capital
ratios exceeded the threshold to be designated as “well-capitalized”
 
under the Basel III capital standards.
Our capital ratios are presented in the Selected Quarterly Financial Data
 
table on page 32.
 
At March 31, 2022, our regulatory capital
ratios exceeded the threshold to be designated as “well-capitalized”
 
under the Basel III capital standards.
Shareowners’ equity was $372.1 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $383.2
 
million at December 31, 2021 and $324.4 million at
March 31, 2021.
 
During the first quarter of 2022, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income
 
of $8.5 million, a $0.2
million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss for our
 
pension plan, a $1.4 million increase in the fair value of the
interest rate swap related to subordinated debt, net adjustments totaling $0.5 million
 
related to transactions under our stock
compensation plans, and stock compensation accretion of $0.2 million.
 
Shareowners’ equity was reduced by common stock dividends
of $2.7 million ($0.16 per share) and a $19.1 million increase in the
 
unrealized loss on investment securities.
At March 31, 2022, our common stock had a book value of $21.94 per diluted
 
share compared to $22.63 at December 31, 2021
 
and
$19.22 at March 31, 2021.
 
Book value is impacted by the net after-tax unrealized gains and losses on AFS investment
 
securities.
 
At
March 31, 2022, the net loss was $23.6 million compared to a net loss of $4.5
 
million at December 31, 2021 and a $1.2 million net
gain at March 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 March 31, 2022, the net pension liability reflected in
other comprehensive loss was $13.0 million compared to $13.2 million
 
at December 31, 2021 and $47.1 million at March 31, 2021.
 
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 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.
 
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, 2022, we had $763.9 million in commitments to extend credit
 
and $5.0 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.
43
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 March 31, 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.
