Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1:Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a Kansas corporation, was incorporated in December 2017. Prior to incorporation, the Company was registered as a limited liability company under the name CrossFirst Holdings, LLC. The Company is a bank holding company whose principal activities are the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CrossFirst Bank (the “Bank”) and CFSA, LLC (“CFSA”), which holds title to certain assets. In addition, CrossFirst Investments, Inc. (“CFI”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, which holds investments in marketable securities.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, CFI and CFSA. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures presented in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2020.
In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments which are of a normal, recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company and the disclosures made are adequate to make the interim financial information not misleading. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the SEC.
Except for the accounting changes mentioned under “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” and “Change in Accounting Principal” section below, no other significant changes in the accounting policies of the Company occurred since December 31, 2019, the most recent date financial statements were provided within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The information contained in the financial statements and footnotes for the period ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.
Use of Estimates
The Company has identified accounting policies and estimates that, due to the difficult, subjective or complex judgments and assumptions inherent in those policies and estimates and the potential sensitivity of the Company’s financial statements to those judgments and assumptions, are critical to an understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In particular, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and resulting impacts to economic conditions, as well as, adverse impacts to the Company’s operations may impact future estimates. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses, Investment Securities Impairment, Deferred Tax Asset, and Fair Value of Financial Instruments are particularly susceptible to significant change.
Cash Equivalents
The Company had $111 million of cash and cash equivalents at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City as of March 31, 2020. The reserve required at March 31, 2020 was $0. In addition, the Company is at times required to place cash collateral with a third party as part of its back-to-back swap agreements. At March 31, 2020, approximately $30 million was required as cash collateral.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”)
The CARES Act allows financial institutions to elect not to consider whether loan modifications relating to the COVID-19 pandemic that they make between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of December 31, 2020 or 60 days after the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic ends are troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) that would require accounting consequences. The relief can be applied to modifications of loans to borrowers that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019.
The Company elected the guidance during the first quarter of 2020. The review of loans that meet the criteria is overseen by the Chief Credit Officer.

Change in Accounting Principle
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which was applied on a prospective basis. A description of the nature and reason for the change in accounting principle is provided below in the recent accounting pronouncements section.
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which was applied as of the adoption date. A description of the nature and reason for the change in accounting principle is provided below in the recent accounting pronouncements section.
Changes Affecting Comparability
For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company consolidated the “Other” line item previously included in stockholders’ equity into retained earnings within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. The consolidation was made due to the immateriality of the “Other” line item. The change had no impact on net income or stockholders’ equity.
Initial Public Offering
On August 19, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering of common shares. The Company issued and sold 5,750,000 common shares at a public offering price of $14.50 per share. After deducting the underwriting discounts and offering expenses, the Company received total net proceeds of $76 million from the initial public offering. In addition, certain selling stockholders participated in the offering and sold an aggregate of 1,261,589 common shares at a public offering price of $14.50 per share. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sales of shares by the selling stockholders.
On September 17, 2019, the underwriters partially exercised their option to purchase additional shares. The Company issued and sold 844,362 common shares at a public offering price of $14.50 per share. After deducting the underwriting discounts and offering expenses, the Company received total net proceeds of $11 million.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company qualified as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). An EGC may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. Among the reductions and reliefs, the Company elected to extend the transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. This means that the financial statements the Company files or furnishes, will not be subject to all new or revised accounting standards generally applicable to public companies for the transition period for so long as the Company remains an EGC or until the Company affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented the following ASUs during 2020:
StandardDate of AdoptionDescriptionEffect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2019-12:

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
January 1, 2020

(Early Adoption)
The amendments in the ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes. Among other changes, the ASU:

(1) Removes the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items;

(2) Removes the exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipates loss for the year;

(3) Requires an entity to recognize a franchise tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a nonincome based tax; and

(4) Requires an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date.
The amendments in the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s tax methodology, processes, or the Company’s financial statements.
ASU 2018-13:

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework
January 1, 2020Improves the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information. The amendments modify certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.

Entities are no longer required to disclose transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy or qualitatively disclose the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. The updated guidance requires disclosure of the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in Other Comprehensive Income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. Entities are required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements.

The additional provisions of the guidance should be adopted prospectively. The eliminated requirements should be adopted retrospectively.
The adoption did not have a material impact to the financial statements.

No transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 occurred in 2019 or 2020 and the Company did not have any recurring Level 3 fair value measurements that created an unrealized gain or loss in Other Comprehensive Income. In addition, the Company previously disclosed the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements.
ASU 2017-04:

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
January 1, 2020

(Early Adoption)
Eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test which required entities to compute the implied fair value of goodwill. An entity should perform an annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.The adoption did not have an impact to the financial statements, but may accelerate the recognition of goodwill impairment, because it removes a second step required under the old method to determine if goodwill is impaired.

The Company’s process for evaluating goodwill impairment was modified to align with the elimination of Step 2. The Company still performs a Step 0 analysis and if determined will perform Step 1 to evaluate the potential impairment of goodwill.

The Company believes the ASU is preferable since it will reduce the complexity to determine if a goodwill impairment exists.

StandardAnticipated Date of AdoptionDescriptionEffect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2020-04:

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
Effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

An entity may elect to apply the ASU by Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

The Company has not determined a start date. Once elected for a Topic or Industry Subtopic, the amendments must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications.
The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.

The amendments only apply to transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments include:

(1) Optional expedients to contract modifications that allow the Company to adjust the effective interest rate of receivables and debt, account for lease modifications as a continuation of the existing lease, and remove the requirement to reassess its original conclusions for contract modifications about whether that contract contains an embedded derivative that is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract under Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging—Embedded Derivatives;

(2) Exceptions to the guidance in Topic 815 related to changes in the critical terms of a hedging relationship due to reference rate reform related to changes to the critical terms of a hedging relationship due to reference rate reform; and

(3) Optional expedients for cash flow and fair value hedges.
The Company had more than $1 billion in loans tied to LIBOR as of March 31, 2020.

The Company is currently unable to determine the financial statement impact related to the ASU, but we anticipate the ASU will simplify modifications executed between the selected start date and December 31, 2020 that are directly related to the LIBOR transition.

Specifically, the ASU will allow the Company to recognize the modification related to LIBOR as a continuation of the old contract, rather than a cancellation of the old contract resulting in a write off of unamortized fees and creation of a new contract.

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses
If we maintain our EGC status, the Company is not required to implement this standard until January 2023. The Company will monitor its progress and the requirements related to adoption.Requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate its lifetime expected credit loss and record an allowance that, when deducted from amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset.The Company has established a committee of individuals from applicable departments to oversee the implementation process.

The Company implemented a third-party software solution and completed the software implementation phase of the transition. The software implementation phase included data capture and portfolio segmentation amongst other items.

The Company has completed an initial parallel run using 2019 data and completed a second parallel during the fourth quarter of 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company chose to adjust its underlying assumptions and review the results using the 2019 financial data. The Company plans to continue parallel runs once an analysis of the 2019 results is completed.

In addition, the Company is evaluating the internal control changes that will be necessary to transition to the third-party platform.

At this time, an estimate of the impact cannot be established as the Company continues to evaluate the inputs into the model. The actual impact could be significantly affected by the composition, characteristics, and quality of the underlying loan portfolio at the time of adoption.
ASU 2016-02

Leases (Topic 842)
The Company expects to implement this standard in 2021 if EGC status is maintained. If the Company loses its EGC status in 2020, the Company would be required to implement the ASU as of the beginning of 2020.

On April 8, 2020, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral on the ASU. If EGC status is maintained and the FASB issues the final amendment, the Company would be able to defer implementation until January 1, 2022.
Requires lessees and lessors to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements.

The update requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with the option to elect certain practical expedients.

The update will also increase disclosures around leases, including qualitative and specific quantitative measures.
The Company expects to apply the update as of the beginning of the period of adoption and the Company does not plan to restate comparative periods. The Company expects to elect certain optional practical expedients.

The Company gathered all potential lease and embedded lease agreements during 2019 and 2020 and is evaluating the applicability and impact to the
financial statements.

The Company’s current operating leases relate primarily to three branch locations, as well as two future lease obligations. Based on these current leases, the Company anticipates recognizing a lease liability and related right-to-use asset on its balance sheet, with an immaterial impact to its income statement compared to the current lease accounting model. However, the ultimate impact of the standard will depend on the Company's lease portfolio as of the adoption date.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in state and political subdivisions were caused by interest rate changes and adjustments in credit ratings. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in collateralized mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate changes and market assumptions about prepayment speeds.
19

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
The Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the term of the securities. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”) at March 31, 2020.
Gains and losses on the sale of debt securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. Gross gains of $402 thousand and $57 thousand and gross losses of $9 thousand and $4 thousand resulting from sales of available-for-sale securities were realized for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The gross gains as of March 31, 2020, included $75 thousand related to a previously disclosed OTTI municipal security that was settled in 2020.

Equity Securities
Equity securities consist of Community Reinvestment Act mutual funds. The fair value of the equity securities was $2 million at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the loan balance is not collectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of its ability to collect the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
20

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers unclassified loans and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected loss given default derived from the Company’s internal risk rating process and loan categories. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment and disaggregated based on the Company’s impairment methodology. The allocation in one portfolio segment does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other segments:

Credit Risk Profile
The Company analyzes its loan portfolio based on an internal rating category (grades 1 - 8), portfolio segment and payment activity. These categories are utilized to develop the associated allowance for loan losses. A description of the loan grades and segments follows:
Loan Grades
Pass & Watch (risk rating 1 - 4) - Considered satisfactory. Includes borrowers that generally maintain good liquidity and financial condition or the credit is currently protected with sales trends remaining flat or declining. Most ratios compare favorably with industry norms and Company policies. Debt is programmed and timely repayment is expected.
Special Mention (risk rating 5) - Borrowers generally exhibit adverse trends in operations or an imbalanced position in their balance sheet that has not reached a point where repayment is jeopardized. Credits are currently protected but, if left uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit or in the Company’s credit or lien position at a future date. These credits are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to enough risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard (risk rating 6) - Credits generally exhibit a well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize repayment. Credits are inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. A distinct possibility exists that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard.
Doubtful (risk rating 7) - Credits which exhibit weaknesses inherent in a substandard credit with the added characteristic that these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable based on existing facts, conditions and values. Because of reasonably specific pending factors, which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the assets, classification as a loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
Loss (risk rating 8) - Credits which are considered uncollectible or of such little value that their continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.
Loan Portfolio Segments
Commercial - Includes loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment purchases and expansions. Repayment is primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations.
Energy - Includes loans to oil and natural gas customers for use in financing working capital needs, exploration and production activities, and acquisitions. The loans are repaid primarily from the conversion of crude oil and natural gas to cash. Credit risk is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations. Energy loans are typically collateralized with the underlying oil and gas reserves.
22

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Commercial Real Estate - Loans typically involve larger principal amounts, and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operations of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. These are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the borrower’s market areas.
Construction and Land Development - Loans are usually based upon estimates of costs and estimated value of the completed project and include independent appraisal reviews and a financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Sources of repayment include permanent loans, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing. Credit risk may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the borrower’s market areas.
Residential Real Estate - The loans are generally secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences or multifamily properties. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers or underlying tenants. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic conditions within or outside the borrower’s market areas that might impact either property values, a borrower’s personal income, or residents’ income.
Consumer - The loan portfolio consists of revolving lines of credit and various term loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors (such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the borrower’s market area) and the creditworthiness of a borrower.
The following tables present the credit risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio based on an internal rating category (grades 1 - 8), portfolio segment and payment activity:

Impaired Loans
A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The intent of concessions is to maximize collection.
Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans.

Non-accrual Loans
Nonperforming loans are loans for which the Company does not record interest income. The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged off at an earlier date, if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged off are reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. The following table presents the Company’s non-accrual loans by loan category at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Troubled Debt Restructurings
Restructured loans are those extended to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty and who have been granted a concession. The modification of terms typically includes the extension of maturity, reduction or deferment of monthly payment, or reduction of the stated interest rate.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $556 thousand and $934 thousand, respectively, in unfunded commitments to borrowers whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings. As of March 31, 2020, the modifications related to the troubled debt restructurings above did not impact the allowance for loan losses because the loans were previously impaired and evaluated on an individual basis or enough collateral was obtained to provide an additional commitment.

Note 5:Derivatives and Hedging
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to clients. The Company executes interest rate swaps with customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.
During 2019, the Company changed an input associated with the fair market value related to derivatives not designated as hedges. The model utilized to calculate the non-performance risk, also known as the credit valuation adjustment, or CVA, was adjusted from a more conservative default methodology to a review of the historical defaults recognized by the Company. Management believes this change better aligns with the Company’s credit methodology and underwriting standards.

Note 8:Regulatory Matters
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2020, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
The capital rules require us to maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer with respect to common equity tier I capital, tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and total capital to risk-weighted assets, which is included in the column “Minimum Capital Required - Basel III Fully Phased-In” within the table below. A financial institution with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, as well as certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

Performance Based Stock Awards (“PBSAs”)
The Company awards PBSAs to key officers of the Company. The stock settled awards are typically granted annually as determined by the Compensation Committee. The performance based shares typically cliff-vest at the end of three years based on attainment of certain performance metrics developed by the Compensation Committee. The ultimate number of shares issuable under each performance award is the product of the award target and the award payout percentage given the level of achievement. The award payout percentages by level of achievement range between 0% of target and 150% of target.
During 2020, the Company granted 41,283 PBSAs. The performance metrics include three year cumulative net income and return on average assets.
The following table summarizes the status of and changes in the performance-based awards:

The CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the U.S., includes many measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. Some of the key tax-related provisions of the bill include:
Allowing NOLs originating in 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back five years; and
Increasing the net interest expense deduction limit to 50% of adjusted taxable income from 30% for tax years beginning January 1, 2019 and 2020.
The Company plans to carry back a portion of any net operating loss incurred during 2020 to offset income during the prior year.

Note 11:Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the Company’s accompanying consolidated Balance Sheets.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows. Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated Balance Sheets.
Collateral-dependent Impaired Loans, Net of ALLL
The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell. Collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by the Office of the Chief Credit Officer.
Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the Office of the Chief Credit Officer. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. These discounts and estimates are developed by the Office of the Chief Credit Officer by comparison to historical results.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s energy portfolio represented 10% of gross loans. The energy portfolio is subdivided into exploration and production for oil and natural gas, which represented approximately 65% and 35%, respectively of the energy portfolio at March 31, 2020. The dramatic decrease in demand for oil and natural gas created by the COVID-19 pandemic put considerable pricing volatility and uncertainty in the market. Depressed prices may strain our customer’s cash flows, lower their liquidity, and decrease property values that could create negative grade migration over the next several quarters. The length of the COVID-19 pandemic disruption and the pace of economic recovery will determine the severity of the grade migration and potential loss impact within the energy portfolio. Information pertaining to the energy portfolio may be found within Note 4: Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses.

General Litigation
The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, result of operations and cash flows of the Company.

Note 14:Subsequent Events
Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic continued to impact our customers. Most industries and individuals have been and are expected to continue to be impacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken in response thereto. A large number of Americans were furloughed or lost their jobs as many businesses closed or saw a reduction in business activity. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, economic uncertainty and a disruption to the financial markets, the duration and extent of which is not currently known.

First Quarter 2020 Highlights
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, we accomplished the following:
Increased total assets $136 million or 3% during the quarter to $5.1 billion, driven by a $149 million or 4% increase in gross loans.
Quarterly net income of $3.9 million, compared to net income of $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2019.
Achieved an efficiency ratio of 55% during the first quarter of 2020 compared to 64% during the first quarter of 2019.
Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.07 for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $0.20 for the first quarter of 2019.
Book value per share of $11.75 at March 31, 2020 compared to $11.58 at December 31, 2019
Coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) Impact
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the COVID-19 outbreak and, on March 13, 2020, the U.S. government declared a national emergency with respect to the outbreak. Governmental authorities, including those in states in which we operate, responded to the outbreak by issuing stay at home orders, enacting travel restrictions, closing businesses and schools, and undertaking additional measures to contain the outbreak. Most industries and individuals have been and are expected to continue to be impacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken in response thereto. A large number of Americans were furloughed or lost their jobs as many businesses closed or saw a reduction in business activity. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, economic uncertainty and a disruption to the financial markets, the duration and extent of which is not currently known.
The U.S. government enacted several new pieces of legislation to assist businesses and individuals negatively impacted by the pandemic. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act was signed into law on March 18, 2020 and provides for, among other things, emergency paid sick leave and family medical leave to employees, expanded unemployment benefits, and tax credits to businesses to offset the costs of providing the leave benefits under the act. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and was the largest-ever economic stimulus package in U.S. history. The CARES Act provides for, among other things, expanded unemployment insurance payments, the establishment of the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), the establishment of the Main Street Lending Program and recovery rebates for individual taxpayers.
A discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 on the Company and its operations and measures undertaken by the Company in response thereto is provided below.
Bank Operations
The Company implemented its business continuity procedures in March 2020 as a result of COVID-19. Approximately 70% or more of our employees are working from home with the majority of service and support team members performing their duties away from our headquarters. As a result, no interruptions to our business occurred. Loan and deposit services continued to function as normal using alternative procedures. No significant changes to underlying processes were identified during the transition process.

Table of Contents
We continue to meet with customers by appointment and our drive-thru locations continue operating during normal hours. We are committed to minimizing physical contact to protect our team members, our customers, and our communities. Our lenders and branch network continue to provide extraordinary service to our customers through use of our technologies, including mobile, online, and over the phone.
The Company continues to support its employees through electronic communication. In addition, the Company decided to continue to pay all employees, including those unable to perform their duties, while the communities remain on lockdown and provided additional employee assistance programs. We suspended the majority of hiring until the impact of COVID-19 on the Company is known.
Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Lending Facility and Loans
The PPP was established by the CARES Act and authorized up to $659 billion in forgivable loans to small businesses to pay their employees during the COVID-19 crisis. The program requires all loan terms to be the same for everyone. The Bank, an existing, preferred Small Business Administration (“SBA”) lender, provided approximately $412 million to 1,179 borrowers as of May 11, 2020 to support our current customers within our markets and foster relationships with new customers in the process. The Bank utilized existing systems and services to establish a PPP Task Force to support our operations.
The loans earn interest at 1% and include fees between 1% and 5% depending on the size of the loan. The increase in loan requests increased demand on our service and support operations, including our loan origination and funding, customer service, lender, underwriting and information technology teams. The Company’s organizational structure was able to absorb the increase in demand with limited need for additional team members.
On April 24, 2020, the SBA established a safe harbor period for borrowers that decided to return PPP funds received. The period ends May 14, 2020. A few of the Bank’s customers elected to return the funds received. A summary of loans funded through the PPP is provided below:

ApprovedExisting CustomersNew Customers
(Dollars in thousands)
Number of Applications1,179  888  291  
Loans Funded$411,750  $312,740  $99,010  
In response to the PPP, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System authorized the Federal Reserve Banks to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility (“PPPL Facility”). The PPPL Facility allows the Federal Reserve Banks to extend non-recourse loans to eligible financial institutions to fund loans guaranteed by the SBA under the PPP. This will allow banking organizations to neutralize the regulatory capital effects of participating in the facility. In addition, the loans originated under the PPP will receive a zero percent risk weight under the regulatory capital rules.
Management Review for Impairment
As a result of current economic conditions in our markets, the Company reviewed the following areas for potential impairment:
Goodwill - The Company determined that an interim review for goodwill impairment was warranted due to the current economic environment. In accordance with GAAP and our internal policy, the Company performed a qualitative review, also called Step 0, to determine if a quantitative analysis of goodwill, also called Step 1, was required. The Company reviewed various qualitative factors, including, but not limited to, the short-term decline of our stock price and macroeconomic conditions. Based on a review of the qualitative factors, the Company determined that a quantitative impairment test was unwarranted as of March 31, 2020. The Company will continue to monitor the qualitative factors and if warranted, perform a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis during the second quarter.
Available-for-Sale Investment Securities - The Company reviewed the securities portfolio for indications of impairment. Management did not identify any impaired securities as of March 31, 2020. A select few securities were sold in April 2020 that resulted in realized gains.
Loan Modifications, Credit Quality, and Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”)
The CARES Act allowed financial institutions to elect to suspend GAAP principles and regulatory determinations for loan modifications relating to COVID-19 that would otherwise be categorized as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) from March 1, 2020 to the earlier of December 31, 2020 or 60 days after the national emergency related to COVID-19 ends.
41

Table of Contents
The Company elected to use the above guidance for accounting and regulatory purposes. During the first quarter, the Company established a process, headed by the Chief Credit Officer, to evaluate loan modifications related to COVID-19. The modified loans typically received a 3 to 6-month payment deferral or modified principal and interest payments to interest-only payments. After the payment deferral period the modified loan terms either request all accrued interest be paid or the interest is capitalized and amortized over the original loan term. During the first quarter, a limited number of deferrals were made.
The Company believes the deferral program will benefit our customers and the local markets we serve. All deferred loan payment interest will continue to accrue until we determine that it is more likely than not that we will be unable to collect the accrued interest balance, which is in accordance with our accounting policy.

The Company’s first quarter 2020 credit quality metrics provided in the selected financial data and discussed in detail within the allowance for loan loss and nonperforming assets sections below were primarily driven by the economic environment prior to the COVID-19 impact. The Company is working with all its borrowers to understand the long term effects of COVID-19 and its impact to future credit quality metrics. At this time, the extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 are unknown and therefore the Company is unable to quantify the ultimate impact at this time.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company did not identify any specific borrowers that were directly impacted by COVID-19. As a result, the Company used qualitative factor adjustments to the ALLL model to account for the unknown impact of COVID-19 on the loan portfolio. Additional discussion regarding changes during the quarter to the ALLL is provided in the allowance for loan loss section below. A waterfall graph showing the changes in our ALLL between December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 is provided below:

Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, the Company allocated the ALLL to our loan portfolio as follows:
cfb-20200331_g2.jpg
Loan Portfolio
As a result of COVID-19, the Company plans to do the following:
Slow overall loan growth to focus on current customers;
Implement floors on loans; and
Monitor unfunded credit lines.
Energy Portfolio
As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s energy portfolio was $399 million, representing 10% of our loan portfolio. The portfolio is comprised of approximately 65% predominately oil backed loans and 35% predominately natural gas backed loans. Our customer base has significant experience in the energy sector and the Company has an experienced group of energy lenders and credit officers that are proactively monitoring the portfolio.
The Company increased the ALLL as a percentage of gross loans by 30 basis points between December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. The Company believes a 1.9% reserve against the energy portfolio is reasonable as of March 31, 2020 based on the following factors:
Portfolio mix between oil and natural gas;
Advance rates on loans are based on proven, developed producing collateral only;
No oil or natural gas field service exposure;
Hedges in place for a significant amount of anticipated production;
Energy portfolio’s credit grade distribution as of March 31, 2020; and
Favorable historical loss rates in the energy portfolio.
While we believe our reserve against the energy portfolio is reasonable, at March 31, 2020, the dramatic decrease in demand for oil and natural gas created by the COVID-19 pandemic put considerable pricing volatility and uncertainty in the market. Depressed prices may strain our customer’s cash flows, lower their liquidity, and decrease property values that could create negative grade migration over the next several quarters. The length of the COVID-19 pandemic disruption and the pace of economic recovery will determine the severity of the grade migration and potential loss impact within the energy portfolio.

Net Interest Income

We present and discuss net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis below. A tax-equivalent basis makes all income taxable at the same rate. For example, $100 of tax-exempt income would be presented as $126.58, an amount that, if taxed at the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% would yield $100. We believe a tax-equivalent basis provides for improved comparability between the various earning assets. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, average balance sheet information, interest income, interest expense and the corresponding average yield and rates paid:

Three months ended March 31, 2020 over 2019
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net interest income increased $5 million or 14% from the same period in the prior year. Net interest income improved as a result of a $1 billion or 20% increase in average interest-earning assets offset by a 22 basis point decline in our net interest margin (“NIM”).
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, NIM was 3.24% compared to 3.46% for the same period in 2019. The declining margin was attributable to a declining interest rate environment. Between December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2020 the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) reduced the target federal funds rate by 2.25%. As a result, we experienced NIM compression as interest-bearing deposits repriced slower than our loan portfolio. The margin on gross loans, net of unearned income decreased 77 basis points from 5.75% to 4.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively while the Company’s cost of funds declined 47 basis points from 1.96% to 1.49% during the same periods. Changes in the yield and rate of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities decreased net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 by $3 million from the same period in 2019.
Average volume for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 improved net interest income by $8 million. Average interest-earning assets were driven by a $729 million or 23% increase in average loans. The growth in loans was primarily supported by a $582 million or 21% increase in interest-bearing deposits and a $63 million or 13% increase in non-interest-bearing deposits.
The Company anticipates NIM to remain flat during the second quarter as interest-earning assets continue to reprice, the PPP loan fees are realized and earned, and the Company modifies interest-bearing liability durations and cost of deposits.

Impact of Transition Away from LIBOR
The Company has loans, derivative contracts, and other financial instruments that directly or indirectly depend on LIBOR to establish an interest rate and/or value. This included more than $1 billion in loans tied to LIBOR as of March 31, 2020. LIBOR is expected to cease on December 31, 2021. The impact of alternatives to LIBOR on the valuations, pricing and operation of our financial instruments is not yet known; however, loans, securities, and derivatives indexed to LIBOR that mature after December 31, 2021 may be impacted. As a result, the Company established an internal committee to evaluate potential substitutions and the related financial impact to the Company.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that reflects management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio. Net charge-offs (recoveries) represent a reduction (addition) to the allowance for loan losses for loans we believe are no longer collectible. The provision for loan losses was as follows for the periods shown:

Change
20202019$%
(Dollars in thousands)
Provision for loan losses$13,950  $2,850  $11,100  389 %
The allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2020 was $51 million compared to $40 million as of March 31, 2019. The increase of $11 million or 29% was primarily due to an increase in our loan portfolio and an increase in the qualitative factors due to the current economic environment. The allowance as a percentage of loans was 1.29% at March 31, 2020 compared to 1.22% at March 31, 2019.

The changes in non-interest income were driven by the following:
Service Charges and Fees on Customer Accounts
This category includes a rebate program that attracted additional funding for the Bank and account analysis fees that continue to grow with our customer base, including their outstanding balances. The year-over-year increase was driven by growth in our credit card program and increase in analysis fees.

Table of Contents
Gain on Sale of Available-for-Sale Securities
The Company sold $4 million and $3 million of securities for the three-months ended 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the gain was primarily due to the declining rate environment, which increased the value of the Company’s securities sold in 2020. The 2020 sales were a strategic decision by management to capitalize on attractive market conditions.
Swap Fee Income, Net
Swap fee income, net includes both swap fees from the execution of new swaps and the credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”). The decline in swap fee income was driven by management’s loan and pricing strategy during the first quarter of 2020.

The changes in non-interest income were driven by the following:
Salary and Employee Benefits
Quarter-to-date March 31, 2020 salary and employee benefit costs declined from the previous year primarily due to lower incentive compensation expenses, as a result of lower earnings in the first quarter of 2020.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company suspended hiring for the majority of available positions. As a result, the Company anticipates salary costs to remain flat during the second quarter.
Deposit Insurance Premiums
The FDIC uses a risk-based premium system to calculate the quarterly fee. Our rate was impacted by our strong asset growth and changes to our loan mix, which resulted in an increase in the quarterly fee.
Advertising
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company initiated a rebranding campaign to update the Bank’s image. As a result, approximately $180 thousand was expensed.
Software and Communication
Software and communication costs increased as a result of our continued growth and investment in technologies that are expected to increase operating efficiency in the short and long-term.

Table of Contents
Other Non-Interest Expense
Other non-interest expense included a decline in operational loan costs due to foreclosed assets in 2019 that did not occur again in 2020 and a decline in director fee expense due to a restructuring of the annual fee. These declines were offset by an increase in insurance costs due to our transition from a private to public company.
The Company anticipates higher operational loan costs during the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Our income tax expense differs from the amount that would be calculated using the federal statutory tax rate, primarily from investments in tax advantaged assets, including bank-owned life insurance and tax-exempt municipal securities; state tax credits; and permanent tax differences from equity-based compensation.
The $126 thousand decrease between quarter-to-date March 31, 2019 and 2020 primarily relates to a $6 million decrease in income before income taxes, which reduced taxes at the 21% statutory rate by $1 million; offset by a $1.4 million state tax credit recorded in the first quarter of 2019. The state tax credit related to our purchase and improvement of our corporate headquarters.

Security Portfolio
The Company’s investment portfolio is governed by the investment policy that sets objectives, limits, and liquidity requirements among other items. The investment strategy is generally updated annually in coordination with an investment advisor. The portfolio is maintained to serve as a contingent, on-balance sheet source of liquidity. The objective of the Company’s investment portfolio is to optimize earnings, manage credit risk, ensure adequate liquidity, manage interest rate risk, meet pledging requirements, and meet regulatory capital requirements. The investment portfolio is generally comprised of government sponsored entity securities and U.S. state and political subdivision securities; limits are set on all types of securities.
As of March 31, 2020, available-for-sale investments totaled $735 million, a $6 million decrease from December 31, 2019. The decline in the investment portfolio ensured appropriate liquidity was available for higher interest-earning assets. For additional information, see “Note 3 - Securities” in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of March 31, 2020, gross loans increased $149 million or 4% from December 31, 2019 and increased $725 million or 22% from March 31, 2019.
Residential real estate growth was driven by developing relationships with key residential and multifamily real estate developers in a majority of our markets. The increase included new loan funding totaling approximately $42 million with the remaining growth coming from existing loan relationships.
Commercial real estate was the second largest segment for growth during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Approximately 76% of the commercial real estate portfolio is located within the states of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas, with Texas, our largest state concentration, representing approximately 28% of the commercial real estate portfolio as of March 31, 2020. The commercial real estate portfolio remains well diversified. Retail is the largest segment in our real estate loan portfolio, representing 13% of the portfolio as of March 31, 2020.
Our energy portfolio declined from year-end 2019 and continues to decline as a percentage of our total loan portfolio from 11% at December 31, 2019 to 10% at March 31, 2020. The Company expects to see less activity in the energy market due to ongoing uncertainty in the sector.
The commercial loan portfolio has historically been a contributor to loan growth. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company saw a slight decline in this segment. Changes to the commercial portfolio included $108 million in loan payoffs, $110 million in new loans to new and existing customers, and the remainder representing normal fluctuations in loan balances.

Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”)
The ALLL is an amount required to cover net loan charge-offs plus the amount considered necessary by the Bank’s management to maintain the balance in the allowance at a level adequate to absorb expected loan losses in the existing loan portfolio. The ALLL is evaluated on at least a quarterly basis. We use a loan grading system and portfolio segmentation to group the portfolio. Each group is evaluated and adjusted for changes in historical trends that may impact the segment. The ALLL at March 31, 2020, represents our best estimate of the incurred credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at that date.
COVID-19 Uncertainties
There are significant uncertainties about what the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately be. Depending upon the extent and duration of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may need to make additional increases to our provision for loan losses in future periods. The future impact of the pandemic is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The extent of the impact on our customers and, in turn, on our business and operations, will depend on future developments, including actions taken to contain the pandemic. To the extent the pandemic continues to cause a recession or decrease economic activity for an extended time period, we expect our business and operations will be negatively impacted. Customers may seek additional loan modifications or restructuring, or we may experience adverse movement in risk classifications, any of which could potentially result in the need to increase provisions and impact the allowance for loan losses.
The allocation in one portfolio segment does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other segments. The table below presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses:

The $15 million or 22% decline in the commercial loan portfolio ALLL allocation was primarily from an $18 million charge-off in the first quarter of 2020 related to a commercial loan that was substantially reserved for at December 31, 2019. This decline was offset by a commercial loan qualitative factor that is discussed in more detail below.
The $5 million or 10% increase in the commercial real estate loan portfolio ALLL allocation was driven by an increase in a commercial real estate qualitative factor that is discussed in more detail below.

Our ALLL as of March 31, 2020 increased $11 million or 29% from March 31, 2019 and decreased $5 million or 10% from December 31, 2019. A breakdown of the reasons for the change in the ALLL is provided below:
Charge-offs and Recoveries:
For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, net charge-offs included an $18 million charge-off related to a previously disclosed non-performing, commercial loan. The commercial loan had a specific reserve associated with it as of December 31, 2019, resulting in a limited impact to the first quarter 2020 provision. In addition, the Company charged off $1 million related to one oil exploration and production credit.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, net charge-offs primarily related to one commercial loan relationship.
Energy Concentration:
$371 million or 93% of the portfolio had a good or watch risk rating at March 31, 2020 due to continued repayment of the loan. However, the decrease in demand for oil and natural gas created by the COVID-19 pandemic put considerable pricing volatility and uncertainty in the market. As a result, the Company increased a qualitative factor on energy loans with a risk rating of good or watch that resulted in a $2 million increase in the ALLL from December 31, 2019. Depressed prices may strain our customer’s cash flows, lower their liquidity, and decrease property values that could create negative grade migration over the next several quarters. The length of the COVID-19 pandemic disruption and the pace of economic recovery will determine the severity of the grade migration and potential loss within the energy portfolio.

Table of Contents
Compared to the prior year, the ALLL at March 31, 2020 was $1 million higher due to an increase in the qualitative and quantitative factors associated with good or watch risk rated energy loans.
The energy portfolio’s reserve against impaired loans declined $725 thousand from December 31, 2019 and $2 million from March 31, 2019 primarily due to an energy charge-off that occurred in the first quarter of 2020.
COVID-19 Impact:
There are significant uncertainties about what the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately be. The Company anticipates that businesses and consumers within our loan portfolio were impacted by the reduction in economic activity. However, the Company was unable to identify specific borrowers that were impacted by COVID-19 as of March 31, 2020. As a result, the Company placed a qualitative factor on all segments, excluding energy that was discussed above, which increased the ALLL by $8 million from December 31, 2019.
Changes in quantitative and qualitative factors, including the COVID-19 impact, increased the March 31, 2020 reserve $6 million year-over-year, excluding the energy adjustments discussed above.
Nonperforming Loans and Other Factors:
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the impaired loan portfolio increased the ALLL by approximately $2 million after taking out the impact of the charge-offs mentioned above. In addition, the ALLL increased $2 million due to downgrades within our four and five risk rated loans. Year-over-year, changes in the four and five risk rated loans increased the ALLL by $5 million.

Nonperforming Assets and Other Asset Quality Metrics
Nonperforming assets include:
i.Nonperforming loans - includes non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) that are not performing in accordance with their modified terms;
ii.Foreclosed assets held for sale;
iii.Repossessed assets; and
iv.Impaired securities.

March 31, 2020 nonperforming assets to total assets increased 23 basis points from March 31, 2019. The decline from the prior quarter in nonperforming loans was driven by an $18 million charge-off related to a non-performing commercial loan, offset by increases in non-accrual loans in our energy and commercial real estate portfolios.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020 the Company experienced a $13 million increase in loans past due 30 to 89 days. The increase was driven by two energy loans totaling $6 million that were impacted by low oil prices and $3 million related to a commercial real estate loan.
The Company's classified assets as of March 31, 2020 increased $18 million or 20% since December 31, 2019. The increase in classified assets was driven by a combination of a $24 million commercial loan relationship that was impacted by changes in customer demand, a $10 million increase in energy loans that were impacted by declining oil prices, and a $5 million commercial real estate project; offset by an $18 million charge-off related to a previously impaired commercial loan relationship.

Deposits and Other Borrowings
Deposits and other borrowings are used to support our asset growth. Our strong asset growth requires us to place a greater emphasis on both interest and non-interest-bearing deposits. We attract and retain deposits by aggressively setting our deposit rates within our markets. Other borrowings supplement our core deposit strategy.
At March 31, 2020, our deposits totaled $4 billion, an increase of $49 million or 1% from December 31, 2019. $45 million of this increase came in the form of noninterest-bearing deposits as long-term relationship customers placed significant deposits with the Bank. In addition, customers transitioned from time deposits to savings and interest checking deposits due to the declining interest rate environment that resulted in a $137 million decline in time deposits and a $140 million increase in money market, NOW, and savings deposits.
Other borrowings include repurchase agreements, fed funds purchased, FHLB borrowings, and our trust preferred security. At March 31, 2020, other borrowings totaled $443 million, a $68 million or 18% increase from December 31, 2019 and a $73 million increase from March 31, 2019. The increase was the result of asset growth and attractive short-term rates on FHLB advances.

Liquidity
The Company’s liquidity strategy is to maintain adequate, but not excessive, liquidity to meet the daily cash flow needs of its clients while attempting to achieve adequate earnings for its stockholders. The liquidity position is monitored continuously by the Company’s finance department.

Capital Resources and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2020, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. For additional information, see “Note 8 - Regulatory Matters” in the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
The Company is subject to off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the needs of its clients that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. These off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to fund loans, standby letters of credit, and previously disclosed future lease obligations in Kansas City, Missouri and Frisco, Texas.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Company identified several accounting policies that are critical to an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, these policies require difficult, subjective or complex judgments and assumptions that create potential sensitivity of our financial statements to those judgments and assumptions. These policies relate to the allowance for loan and lease losses, investment securities impairment, deferred tax assets, and the fair value of financial instruments. A discussion of these policies can be found in the section captioned “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the December 31, 2019 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04: Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The ASU simplifies the methodology to calculate goodwill impairment. The change may accelerate the recognition of goodwill impairment, because it removes a second step required under the old method to determine if goodwill was impaired. The Company believes the updated methodology significantly reduces the complexity to calculate for goodwill impairment annually and if required during an interim period.
The CARES Act allows financial institutions to elect not to consider whether loan modifications relating to the COVID-19 pandemic that they make between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of December 31, 2020 or 60 days after the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic ends are TDRs that would require accounting consequences. The relief can be applied to modifications of loans to borrowers that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Company elected the guidance during the first quarter of 2020. The review of loans that meet the criteria is overseen by the Chief Credit Officer.
Besides the accounting policy changes mentioned above, there have been no additional changes in the Company’s application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company had the following updates to recent accounting pronouncements during the first quarter of 2020. For additional information on accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies . A complete list of recent, applicable accounting pronouncements was provided in the Company’s 2019 form 10-K.
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - The Company established a committee of individuals from applicable departments to oversee the implementation process. The committee chose a third-party software solution. By the third quarter of 2019, the Company completed the software implementation phase of the transition. The software implementation phase included data capture and portfolio segmentation amongst other items. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company decided to adjust and analyze the underlying assumptions in the model using 2019 financial data. Once the analysis is complete, the Company plans to continue quarterly parallel runs to determine the appropriateness of the factors used and the potential impact on the ALLL. At this time an estimate of the impact to the Company’s financial statements is not known, but the impact could be significantly affected by the composition, characteristics and quality of the underlying loan portfolio at the time of adoption.
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) - The Company plans to apply the update as of the beginning of the period of adoption and is not planning to restate comparative periods. The Company expects to elect certain optional practical expedients. The Company gathered all potential lease and embedded lease agreements and is evaluating the applicability and impact to the financial statements. Current operating leases relate primarily to three branch locations and two future lease obligations. Based on these current leases, the Company

Table of Contents
anticipates recognizing a lease liability and related right-to-use asset on our balance sheet, with an immaterial impact on the income statement compared to the current lease accounting model. However, the ultimate impact of the standard will depend on the Company’s lease portfolio as of the adoption date.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to evaluate our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the way we calculate these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
Non-GAAP Core Operating Income:
We calculate “non-GAAP core operating income” as net income adjusted to remove non-recurring or non-core income and expense items related to:
Impairment charges associated with two buildings that were held-for-sale - We acquired a larger corporate headquarters to accommodate our business needs that eliminated the need for two smaller support buildings. The two smaller support buildings had been acquired recently and were extensively remodeled, which resulted in a difference between book and market value for those assets. We sold one of the buildings in 2018 and the other in the second quarter of 2019.
State tax credits - As a result of the purchase and improvement of our new corporate headquarters we received state tax credits.
The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for non-GAAP core operating income is net income.
Non-GAAP Core Operating Return on Average Assets:
We calculate “non-GAAP core operating return on average assets” as non-GAAP core operating income (as defined above) divided by average assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is return on average assets, which is calculated as net income divided by average assets.
Non-GAAP Core Operating Return on Average Equity:
We calculate “non-GAAP core operating return on average equity” as non-GAAP core operating income (defined above) less preferred dividends divided by average common equity. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is return on average equity, which is calculated as net income less preferred dividends divided by average common equity.
Non-GAAP Core Operating Efficiency Ratio - Tax Equivalent:
We calculate “non-GAAP core operating efficiency ratio - tax equivalent” as non-interest expense adjusted to remove non-recurring non-interest expenses as defined under non-GAAP core operating income divided by the sum of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis and non-interest income adjusted to remove non-recurring non-interest income as defined under non-GAAP core operating income. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the efficiency ratio.
Management believes that non-GAAP core operating income, non-GAAP core operating return on average assets, non-GAAP core operating return on average equity and non-GAAP core operating efficiency ratio - tax equivalent remove events that are not recurring and not part of core business activities and are useful analytical tools for investors to compare periods excluding these non-recurring or non-core income and charges.

Tangible Common Stockholders’ Equity:
We calculate “tangible common stockholders’ equity” as total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets and preferred stock. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total stockholders’ equity.
We calculate “tangible book value per share” as tangible common stockholders’ equity (as defined above) divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding at the end of the relevant period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per share.
Management believes that tangible stockholders’ equity and tangible book value per share are important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in our stockholders’ equity, exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
A primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Managing interest rate risk is a key element of the Company’s balance sheet management. Interest rate risk is the risk that net interest margin will erode over time due to changing market conditions. Many factors can cause margins to erode: (i) lower loan demand; (ii) increased competition for funds; (iii) weak pricing policies; (iv) balance sheet mismatches and (v) changing liquidity demands. The objective is to maximize income while minimizing interest rate risk. The Company manages its sensitivity position using its interest rate risk policy. The management of interest rate risk is a three-step process and involves: (i) measuring the interest rate risk position; (ii) policy constraints; and (iii) strategic review and implementation.
Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Bank’s Funds Management Committee (“FMC”) in accordance with policies approved by the Bank’s board of directors. The FMC uses a combination of three systems to measure the balance sheet’s interest rate risk position. Because each system serves a different purpose and provides a different perspective, the three systems in combination are expected to provide a better overall result than a single system alone. The three systems include: (i) gap reports; (ii) earnings simulation; and (iii) economic value of equity. The FMC’s primary tools to change the interest rate risk position are: (i) investment portfolio duration; (ii) deposit and borrowing mix; and (iii) on balance sheet derivatives.
The FMC evaluates interest rate risk using a rate shock method and rate ramp method. In a rate shock analysis, rates change immediately and the change is sustained over the time horizon. In a rate ramp analysis, rate changes occur gradually over time. The following tables summarize the simulated changes in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon using a rate shock and rate ramp method as of the dates indicated:

(1) Due to the current interest rate environment and rate floors placed on the loan portfolio, a down rate environment was considered unlikely. As a result, the Company decided to exclude the down rate environment from its analysis for the period ended March 31, 2020.
The hypothetical change in net interest income as of March 31, 2020 in an up 100 basis point shock is mainly due to approximately 69% of earning assets repricing or maturing over the next 12 months. Loans remain the largest portion of our adjustable earning assets, as the mix of adjustable loans or loans maturing in one year or less to total loans was 76%. The amount of adjustable loans causes the Company to see an increase in net interest income in a rising rate environment.

The models the Company uses include assumptions regarding interest rates while balances remain unchanged. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions, customer behavior and management strategies, among other factors.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the first quarter of 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, we are named or threatened to be named as a defendant in various lawsuits. Management, following consultation with legal counsel, does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of these matters to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or growth prospects. However, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business (including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws), we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The section titled Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K includes a discussion of the many risks and uncertainties we face, any one or more of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition (including capital and liquidity), or prospects or the value of or return on an investment in the Company. The information presented below provides an update to, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and other information contained in our 2019 Form 10-K. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our 2019 Form 10-K.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the ultimate impacts of the pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments and other factors that are highly uncertain and will be impacted by the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.
The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets and has had an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could further impact our business, financial condition and results of operation. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the governments of the states in which we operate, and of most other states, have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes, and ordering temporary closures of businesses that have been deemed to be nonessential. These restrictions and other consequences of the pandemic have resulted in significant adverse effects for many different types of businesses, including, among others, those in the travel, hospitality and food and beverage industries, and have resulted in a significant number of layoffs and furloughs of employees nationwide and in the regions in which we operate.
The ultimate effects of COVID-19 on the broader economy and the markets that we serve are not known nor is the ultimate length of the restrictions described above and any accompanying effects. Moreover, the Federal Reserve has taken action to lower the Federal Funds rate, which may negatively affect our interest income and, therefore, earnings, financial condition and results of operation.

Additional impacts of COVID-19 on our business could be widespread and material, and may include, or exacerbate, among other consequences, the following:
employees contracting COVID-19;
reductions in our operating effectiveness as our employees work from home;
a work stoppage, forced quarantine, or other interruption of our business;
unavailability of key personnel necessary to conduct our business activities;
effects on key employees, including operational management personnel and those charged with preparing, monitoring and evaluating our financial reporting and internal controls;
sustained closures of our branch lobbies or the offices of our customers;
declines in demand for loans and other banking services and products;
reduced consumer spending due to both job losses and other effects attributable to COVID-19;
unprecedented volatility in United States financial markets;
volatile performance of our investment securities portfolio;
decline in the credit quality of our loan portfolio, owing to the effects of COVID-19 in the markets we serve, leading to a need to increase our allowance for loan losses;
declines in value of collateral for loans, including energy and real estate collateral;
declines in the net worth and liquidity of borrowers and loan guarantors, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; and
declines in demand resulting from businesses being deemed to be “non-essential” by governments in the markets we serve, and from “non-essential” and “essential” businesses suffering adverse effects from reduced levels of economic activity in our markets.
These factors, together or in combination with other events or occurrences that may not yet be known or anticipated, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in meaningfully lower stock prices for many companies, as well as the trading prices for many other securities. The further spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as ongoing or new governmental, regulatory and private sector responses to the pandemic, may materially disrupt banking and other economic activity generally and in the areas in which we operate. This could result in further decline in demand for our banking products and services, and could negatively impact, among other things, our liquidity, regulatory capital and our growth strategy. Any one or more of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are taking precautions to protect the safety and well-being of our employees and customers. However, no assurance can be given that the steps being taken will be adequate or deemed to be appropriate, nor can we predict the level of disruption which will occur to our employees’ ability to provide customer support and service. If we are unable to recover from a business disruption on a timely basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could further adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
