Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2020

NOTE 1. General

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the results of operations and the changes in stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”).

Eagle Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") owns 100% of Bank of Clarke County (the “Bank”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and the Bank have been eliminated.

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations. None of the reclassifications were of a material nature and they had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders' equity.

Risks and Uncertainties

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) spread rapidly across the world in the first quarter of 2020 and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The government and private sector responses to contain its spread have significantly affected our operations to date and likely will continue to adversely affect our operations in subsequent quarters, although such effects may vary significantly. The duration and extent of the effects over the longer term are dependent on future developments and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The risks and uncertainties resulting from the pandemic will most likely affect the future earnings, cash flows and financial condition of the Company. These uncertainties primarily include the nature and duration of the financial effects felt by our customers and the ability of those customers to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company, operational disruptions, the Company’s ability to generate demand for non-loan related products and services, as well as the potential decline of real estate values resulting from market disruption which may impair the recorded values of collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned. Further, these factors, in addition to those present in local economies throughout the U.S. may necessitate impairment charges for our non-agency debt securities. Accordingly, estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements may be subject to significant adjustments in future periods due to the unprecedented and rapidly evolving nature of the pandemic. The greater the duration and severity of the pandemic, the more likely that estimates will be materially impacted by its effects.

NOTE 2. Stock-Based Compensation Plan

During 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock incentive plan which allows key employees and directors to increase their personal financial interest in the Company. This plan permits the issuance of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options and the award of stock appreciation rights, common stock, restricted stock, and phantom stock. The plan authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of common stock.

The Company periodically grants restricted stock to its directors, executive officers and certain non-executive officers. Restricted stock provides grantees with rights to shares of common stock upon completion of a service period or achievement of Company performance measures. During the restriction period, all shares are considered outstanding and dividends are paid to the grantee. In general, outside directors are periodically granted restricted shares which vest over a period of less than 9 months. Beginning during 2006, executive officers were granted restricted shares which vest over a 3 year service period and restricted shares which vest based on meeting annual performance measures over a 1 year period. Beginning in 2018, certain non-executive officers also were granted restricted shares which vest over a 3 year service period. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the restricted period based on the fair value of the Company's stock on the grant date. The Company's policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur. As of September 30, 2020, there was $255 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock.

The following table presents restricted stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2020					2019
	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Forfeited		—			—		—			—
Nonvested, end of period		27,078		$	29.25		26,789		$	30.62

NOTE 3. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Nonvested restricted shares are included in the weighted average number of common shares used to compute basic earnings per share because of dividend participation and voting rights. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. The number of potential common shares is determined using the treasury method.

The following table shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. During 2020 and 2019, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Average number of common shares outstanding		3,413,304		3,436,660		3,420,002		3,439,980

Gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities included two (2) and twenty-eight (28) debt securities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the amount of an unrealized loss, the financial condition of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer long enough to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value. The fair value of a security reflects its liquidity as compared to similar instruments, current market rates on similar instruments, and the creditworthiness of the issuer. Absent any change in the liquidity of a security or the creditworthiness of the issuer, prices will decline as market rates rise and vice-versa. The primary cause of the unrealized losses at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was changes in market interest rates and other market conditions and not credit concerns of the issuers. Since the losses can be primarily attributed to changes in market interest rates and conditions and not expected cash flows or an issuer’s financial condition and management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, the unrealized losses were deemed to be temporary. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities are issued by U.S. government agencies, which guarantee payments to investors regardless of the status of the underlying mortgages. The Company monitors the financial condition of these issuers continuously and will record other-than-temporary impairment if the recovery of value is unlikely.

The Company’s securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, currency and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect securities reported in the financial statements.

Securities having a carrying value of $3.1 million at September 30, 2020 were pledged as security for public deposits.

Beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company changed its allowance methodology for the risk scale used in calculating the environmental factors portion of the general reserves assigned to unimpaired credits. During this quarter, management determined it necessary to adjust each of the risk scores assigned to all nine current environmental factors due to changes that had occurred both internally and outside of the Company that have an impact on payment defaults, collateral values, risk ratings, etc. Management also determined it necessary to adjust the loss history period from 28 quarters to 12 quarters. The Company believes that the revised risk scale and loss history period is more indicative of the losses and risks inherent in the portfolio.

The following table represents the effect on the loan loss provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as a result of the change in allowance methodology from that used in prior periods.

When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is in nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal under the cost-recovery method. For financial statement purposes, the recorded investment in nonaccrual loans is the actual principal balance reduced by payments that would otherwise have been applied to interest. When reporting information on these loans to the applicable customers, the unpaid principal balance is reported as if payments were applied to principal and interest under the original terms of the loan agreements. Therefore, the unpaid principal balance reported to the customer would be higher than the recorded investment in the loan for financial statement purposes. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of the impaired loan is not in doubt and the loan is in nonaccrual status, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received under the cash-basis method.

The Company uses a rating system for evaluating the risks associated with non-consumer loans. Consumer loans are not evaluated for risk unless the characteristics of the loan fall within classified categories. Consumer loans are evaluated for collection based on payment performance. Descriptions of these ratings are as follows:


Pass	Pass loans exhibit acceptable history of profits, cash flow ability and liquidity. Sufficient cash flow exists to service the loan. All obligations have been paid by the borrower in an as agreed manner.

Pass Monitored	Pass monitored loans may be experiencing income and cash volatility, inconsistent operating trends, nominal liquidity and/or a leveraged balance sheet. A higher level of supervision is required for these loans as the potential for a negative event could impact the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.

Special Mention	Special mention loans exhibit negative trends and potential weakness that, if left uncorrected, may negatively affect the borrower’s ability to repay its obligations. The risk of default is not imminent and the borrower still demonstrates sufficient financial strength to service debt.

Substandard	Substandard loans exhibit well defined weaknesses resulting in a higher probability of default. The borrowers exhibit adverse financial trends and a diminishing ability or willingness to service debt.

Doubtful	Doubtful loans exhibit all of the characteristics inherent in substandard loans; however given the severity of weaknesses, the collection of 100% of the principal is unlikely under current conditions.

Loss	Loss loans are considered uncollectible over a reasonable period of time and of such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.

NOTE 6. Troubled Debt Restructurings

All loans deemed a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR"), are considered impaired, and are evaluated for collateral and cash-flow sufficiency. A loan is considered a TDR when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider. All of the following factors are indicators that the Company has granted a concession (one or multiple items may be present):

•

The borrower receives a reduction of the stated interest rate to a rate less than the institution is willing to accept at the time of the restructure for a new loan with comparable risk.

•

The borrower receives an extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market interest rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics.

•

The borrower receives a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement.

•

The borrower receives a deferral of required payments (principal and/or interest) which causes more than an insignificant change in cash flow.

•

The borrower receives a reduction of the accrued interest.

There were sixteen (16) TDR loans totaling $2.8 million at September 30, 2020. At December 31, 2019, there were eighteen (18) TDR loans totaling $3 million. Two loans, totaling $126 thousand, were in nonaccrual status at September 30, 2020. Four loans, totaling $401 thousand, were in nonaccrual status at December 31, 2019. There were no outstanding commitments to lend additional amounts to troubled debt restructured borrowers at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

During the first nine months of 2020, the Company had approved 251 deferrals of interest and/or principal payments with respect to loan balances totaling approximately $134.0 million for its customers experiencing hardships related to COVID-19. These deferrals were no more than six months in duration and were for loans not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. As such, they were not considered troubled debt restructurings based on the relief provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act and recent interagency regulatory guidance. As of September 30, 2020, 231 of these loans with loan balances totaling approximately $97.9 million had begun making payments on their loans after the end of the deferral period. The majority of the remainder of these loans are still in their original deferral period, have been granted an additional deferral or have paid off.

The following tables set forth information on the Company’s troubled debt restructurings by class of loans occurring during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company classified no additional loans as troubled debt restructurings.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company restructured one consumer installment loan and one residential single-family loan by granting three 90-day payment deferment periods. During the same time periods, the Company restructured one single-family residential loan by reducing the payments due for a period of time and restructured another single-family residential loan by allowing a loan policy exception for a high loan-to-value.

There were no payment defaults during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 for TDRs that were restructured within the preceding twelve month period. There were also no payment defaults during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Payment defaults for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are detailed in the table below.

NOTE 8. Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. The Company elected the prospective application approach provided by ASU 2018-11 and did not adjust prior periods for ASC 842. The Company also elected certain practical expedients within the standard and consistent with such elections did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and did not reassess any initial direct costs for existing leases. As stated in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K, the implementation of the new standard resulted in recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $3.8 million at the date of adoption, which is related to the Company’s lease of premises used in operations. The right-of-use asset and lease liability are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a long-term lease agreement for a loan production office in Tysons Corner, Virginia. This resulted in the initial recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $549 thousand, also reflected in other assets and other liabilities.

Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.

The Company’s two long-term lease agreements are classified as operating leases. These leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liability to the extent the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for a residual value guarantee and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

The following tables present information about the Company’s leases:

	September 30, 2020			December 31, 2019

NOTE 9. Fair Value Measurements

GAAP requires the Company to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

“Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:


•	Level 1	Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•	Level 2	Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

•	Level 3	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The following section provides a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Securities Available for Sale: Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

The following table presents balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial and nonfinancial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:

Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected when due. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's coupon rate, or at the loans' observable market price or the fair value of the collateral securing the loans, if they are collateral dependent. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data within the last twelve months (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the property is more than one year old and not solely based on observable market comparables or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, then a Level 3 valuation is considered to measure the fair value. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, of one year or less, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the fair value of the property, less estimated selling costs, establishing a new costs basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Costs of significant property improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed. The portion of interest costs relating to development of real estate is capitalized. Valuations are periodically obtained by management, and any subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of a property to fair value less cost to sell. The fair value measurement of real estate held in other real estate owned is assessed in the same manner as impaired loans described above. We believe that the fair value follows the provisions of GAAP.

The following table displays quantitative information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements for certain financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

NOTE 12. Qualified Affordable Housing Project Investments

The Company invests in qualified affordable housing projects. The general purpose of these investments is to encourage and assist participants in investing in low-income residential rental properties located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, develop and implement strategies to maintain projects as low-income housing, provide tax credits and other tax benefits to investors, and to preserve and protect project assets.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance of the investment for qualified affordable housing projects was $2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively. These balances are reflected in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total unfunded commitments related to the investments in qualified affordable housing projects totaled $446 thousand and $798 thousand at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These balances are reflected in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to fulfill these commitments by December 31, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the individual agreements.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized amortization expense of $57 thousand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized amortization expense of $172 thousand. The amortization expense was included in Other operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Total estimated credits to be received during 2020 are $311 thousand based on the most recent quarterly estimates received from the funds. Total tax credits and other tax benefits recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, were $244 thousand and $285 thousand, respectively.

NOTE 13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Other Authoritative Guidance

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this ASU, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. At the FASB’s October 16, 2019 meeting, the Board affirmed its decision to amend the effective date of this ASU for many companies. Public business entities that are SEC filers, excluding those meeting the smaller reporting company definition, will retain the initial required implementation date of fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities, including the Company, will be required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company formed a CECL committee during 2016 which continues to meet weekly to address the compliance requirements. Historic loan data has been gathered and reviewed for completeness and accuracy. In addition, the committee has selected a third-party that is assisting in calculating the financial impact of ASU 2016-13 and anticipates running parallel allowance models under the current and new standard in advance of the required implementation date.

Effective November 25, 2019, the SEC adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 119. SAB 119 updated portions of SEC interpretative guidance to align with FASB ASC 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.” It covers topics including (1) measuring current expected credit losses; (2) development, governance, and documentation of a systematic methodology; (3) documenting the results of a systematic methodology; and (4) validating a systematic methodology.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The ASU is expected to reduce cost and complexity related to the accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions to general principles in Topic 740 (eliminating the need for an organization to analyze whether certain exceptions apply in a given period) and improving financial statement preparers’ application of certain income tax-related guidance. This ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to make narrow-scope simplifications and improvements to accounting standards through a series of short-term projects. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” The ASU is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to increase comparability in accounting for these transactions. ASU 2016-01 made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments, including providing an entity the ability to measure certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Among other topics, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting. For public business entities, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” These amendments provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is working to identify loans that are directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. The Company is assessing ASU 2020-04 and its impact on the Company’s transition away from LIBOR for its loans.

On March 12, 2020, the SEC finalized amendments to its “accelerated filer” and “large accelerated filer” definitions. The amendments increase the threshold criteria for meeting these filer classifications and were effective on April 27, 2020. Any changes in filer status are to be applied beginning with the filer’s first annual report filed with the SEC subsequent to the effective date. Prior to these changes, the Company was required to comply with section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act concerning auditor attestation over internal control over financial reporting as an “accelerated filer” as it had more than $75 million in public float but less than $700 million at the end of the Company’s most recent second quarter. The rule change revises the definition of “accelerated filers” to exclude entities with public float of less than $700 million and less than $100 million in annual revenues. The Company expects that it will no longer be considered an accelerated filer under this new definition. If the Company’s annual revenues exceed $100 million, its category will change back to “accelerated filer”. The classifications of “accelerated filer” and “large accelerated filer” require a public company to obtain an auditor attestation concerning the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") and include the auditor's opinion on ICFR in its annual report on Form 10-K. Non-accelerated filers also have additional time to file quarterly and annual financial statements. All public companies are required to obtain and file annual financial statement audits, as well as provide management’s assertion on effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, but the external auditor attestation of ICFR is not required for non-accelerated filers. As the Bank has total assets exceeding $1.0 billion, it remains subject to FDICIA, which requires an auditor attestation concerning internal controls over financial reporting. As such, other than the additional time provided to file quarterly and annual financial statements, this change does not significantly change the Company’s annual reporting and audit requirements.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-06 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. In addition, the amendment updates the disclosure requirements for convertible instruments to increase the information transparency. For public business entities, excluding smaller reporting companies, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable fees and Other Costs.” This ASU clarifies that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of ASC paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. All entities should apply ASU No. 2020-08 on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt securities. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Developments

In March 2020 (Revised in April 2020), various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the agencies”) issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by the Coronavirus. The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under Accounting Standards Codification 310-40, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” (“ASC 310-40”), a restructuring of debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. This interagency guidance is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements; however, this impact cannot be quantified at this time.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The purpose of this discussion is to focus on the important factors affecting the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q and Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the 2019 Form 10-K.

GENERAL

Eagle Financial Services, Inc. is a bank holding company which owns 100% of the stock of Bank of Clarke County (the “Bank” and collectively with Eagle Financial Services, Inc., the “Company”). Accordingly, the results of operations for the Company are dependent upon the operations of the Bank. The Bank conducts a commercial banking business which consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing those funds in commercial, consumer and real estate loans and municipal and U.S. government agency securities. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the maximum extent permitted by law. At September 30, 2020, the Company had total assets of $1.1 billion, net loans of $799.0 million, total deposits of $955.2 million, and shareholders’ equity of $103.9 million. The Company’s net income was $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

COVID-19 and Related Response

The COVID-19 crisis has changed our communities, both in the way we live and the way we do business. While circumstances continue to change at a rapid pace, the Company is steadfastly working to meet and exceed the needs of its customers, employees and the communities in which it does business. The Company, while considered an essential business, has implemented procedures to protect its employees, customers and the community and still serve their banking needs. Branch lobbies reopened as of July 6, 2020, but with enhanced safety features for employees and customers. Our customers also continue to conduct their business via automated teller machines, online banking and our call center. Approximately 50% of our employees are currently working from home with the remaining essential workers showing up every day at our branches and operations centers. In efforts to assist local businesses during this pandemic, the Company has approved 888 Small Business Association Paycheck Protection Program ("SBA PPP") loans, totaling $88.2 million. The Company is also working with local small businesses, consumers and other commercial customers through its loan deferral program whereby customers experiencing hardships due to COVID-19 may be granted a deferral in loan payments for up to six months. During the first nine months of 2020, the Company approved 251 deferrals with loan balances totaling approximately $134.0 million for its customers experiencing hardships related to COVID-19. As of September 30, 2020, 231 loans with loan balances totaling approximately $97.9 million had begun making payments on their loans after the deferral date had passed.

MANAGEMENT’S STRATEGY

The Company strives to be an outstanding financial institution in its market by building solid sustainable relationships with: (1) its customers, by providing highly personalized customer service, a network of conveniently placed branches and ATMs, a competitive variety of products/services and courteous, professional employees, (2) its employees, by providing generous benefits, a positive work environment, advancement opportunities and incentives to exceed expectations, (3) its communities, by participating in local concerns, providing monetary support, supporting employee volunteerism and providing employment opportunities, and (4) its shareholders, by providing sound profits and returns, sustainable growth, regular dividends and committing to its local, independent status.

OPERATING STRATEGY

The Bank is a locally owned and managed financial institution. This allows the Bank to be flexible and responsive in the products and services it offers. The Bank grows primarily by lending funds to local residents and businesses at a competitive price that reflects the inherent risk of lending. The Bank attempts to fund these loans through deposits gathered from local residents and businesses. The Bank prices its deposits by comparing alternative sources of funds and selecting the lowest cost available. When deposits are not adequate to fund asset growth, the Bank relies on borrowings, both short and long term. The Bank’s primary source of borrowed funds is the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta which offers numerous terms and rate structures to the Bank.

As interest rates change, the Bank attempts to maintain its net interest margin. This is accomplished by changing the price, terms, and mix of its financial assets and liabilities. The Bank also earns fees on services provided through its trust department, sales of investments through Eagle Investment Services, secondary market mortgage activities, and deposit operations. The Bank also incurs noninterest expenses such as compensating employees, maintaining and acquiring fixed assets, and purchasing goods and services necessary to support its daily operations.

The Bank has a marketing department which seeks to develop new business. This is accomplished through an ongoing calling program whereby account officers visit with existing and potential customers to discuss the products and services offered. The Bank also utilizes traditional advertising such as television commercials, radio ads, newspaper ads, and billboards.

LENDING POLICIES

Administration and supervision over the lending process is provided by the Bank’s Credit Administration Department. The principal risk associated with the Bank’s loan portfolio is the creditworthiness of its borrowers. In an effort to manage this risk, the Bank’s policy gives loan amount approval limits to individual loan officers based on their position and level of experience. Credit risk is increased or decreased, depending on the type of loan and prevailing economic conditions. In consideration of the different types of loans in the portfolio, the risk associated with real estate mortgage loans, commercial loans and consumer loans varies based on employment levels, consumer confidence, fluctuations in the value of real estate and other conditions that affect the ability of borrowers to repay debt.

The Company has written policies and procedures to help manage credit risk. The Company utilizes a loan review process that includes formulation of portfolio management strategy, guidelines for underwriting standards and risk assessment, procedures for ongoing identification and management of credit deterioration, and regular portfolio reviews to establish loss exposure and to ascertain compliance with the Company’s policies.

The Bank uses a tiered approach to approve credit requests consisting of individual lending authorities and a director loan committee. Lending limits for individuals are set by the Board of Directors and are determined by loan purpose, collateral type, and internal risk rating of the borrower. The highest individual authority (Category I) is assigned to the Bank’s President / Chief Executive Officer, Senior Loan Officer and Senior Credit Officer (approval authority only). Two officers in Category I may combine their authority to approve loan requests to borrowers with credit exposure up to $5.0 million on a secured basis and $2.0 million unsecured. Officers in Category II, III, IV, V, VI and VII have lesser authorities and with approval of a Category I officer may extend loans to borrowers with exposure of $2.5 million on a secured basis and $1.0 million unsecured. Loans exceeding $5 million and up to the Bank’s legal lending limit can be approved by the Director Loan Committee consisting of four directors (three directors constituting a quorum). The Director’s Loan Committee also reviews and approves changes to the Bank’s Loan Policy as presented by management.

The following sections discuss the major loan categories within the total loan portfolio:

One-to-Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending

Residential lending activity may be generated by the Bank’s loan officer solicitations, referrals by real estate professionals, and existing or new bank customers. Loan applications are taken by a Bank loan officer. As part of the application process, information is gathered concerning income, employment and credit history of the applicant. The valuation of residential collateral is provided by independent fee appraisers who have been approved by the Bank’s Directors Loan Committee. In connection with residential real estate loans, the Bank requires title insurance, hazard insurance and, if applicable, flood insurance. In addition to traditional residential mortgage loans secured by a first or junior lien on the property, the Bank offers home equity lines of credit.

Commercial Real Estate Lending

Commercial real estate loans are secured by various types of commercial real estate in the Bank’s market area, including multi-family residential buildings, commercial buildings and offices, small shopping centers and churches. Commercial real estate loan originations are obtained through broker referrals, direct solicitation of developers and continued business from customers. In its underwriting of commercial real estate, the Bank’s loan to original appraised value ratio is generally 80% or less. Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional risk as compared with residential mortgage lending. Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Additionally, the repayment of loans secured by income producing properties is typically dependent on the successful operation of a business or a real estate project and thus may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy, in general. The Bank’s commercial real estate loan underwriting criteria require an examination of debt service coverage ratios, the borrower’s creditworthiness, prior credit history and reputation, and the Bank typically requires personal guarantees or endorsements of the borrowers’ principal owners.

Construction and Land Development Lending

The Bank makes local construction loans, primarily residential, and land acquisition and development loans. The construction loans are secured by residential houses under construction and the underlying land for which the loan was obtained. The average life of most construction loans is less than one year and the Bank offers both fixed and variable rate interest structures. The interest rate structure offered to customers depends on the total amount of these loans outstanding and the impact of the interest rate structure on the Bank’s overall interest rate risk. There are two characteristics of construction lending which impact its overall risk as compared to residential mortgage lending. First, there is more concentration risk due to the extension of a large loan balance through several lines of credit to a single developer or contractor. Second, there is more collateral risk due to the fact that loan funds are provided to the borrower based upon the estimated value of the collateral after completion. This could cause an inaccurate estimate of the amount needed to complete construction or an excessive loan-to-value ratio. To mitigate the risks associated with construction lending, the Bank generally limits loan amounts to 80% of the estimated appraised value of the finished construction project. The Bank also obtains a first lien on the property as security for its construction loans and typically requires personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners. Finally, the Bank performs inspections of the construction projects to ensure that the percentage of construction completed correlates with the amount of draws on the construction line of credit.

Commercial and Industrial Lending

Commercial business loans generally have more risk than residential mortgage loans, but have higher yields. To manage these risks, the Bank generally obtains appropriate collateral and personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners and monitors the financial condition of its business borrowers. Residential mortgage loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to be readily ascertainable. In contrast, commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from cash flow from its business and are secured by business assets, such as commercial real estate, accounts receivable, equipment and inventory. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans is substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Furthermore, the collateral for commercial business loans may depreciate over time and generally cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real estate.

Consumer Lending

The Bank offers various secured and unsecured consumer loans, which include personal installment loans, personal lines of credit, automobile loans, and credit card loans. The Bank originates its consumer loans within its geographic market area and these loans are generally made to customers with whom the Bank has an existing relationship. Consumer loans generally entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral on a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

The underwriting standards employed by the Bank for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicant’s monthly income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and from any verifiable secondary income. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is the primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes an analysis of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, based on measurements of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of the transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact the transactions could change.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the probable losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. As required by GAAP, the allowance for loan losses is accrued when their occurrence is probable and they can be estimated. Impairment losses are accrued based on the differences between the loan balance and the value of its collateral, the present value of future cash flows, or the price established in the secondary market. The Company’s allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the general allowance, the specific allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when actual events occur. The general allowance uses historical experience and other qualitative factors to estimate future losses and, as a result, the estimated amount of losses can differ significantly from the actual amount of losses which would be incurred in the future. However, the potential for significant differences is mitigated by continuously updating the loss history of the Company. The specific allowance is based upon the evaluation of specific impaired loans on which a loss may be realized. Factors such as past due history, ability to pay, and collateral value are used to identify those loans on which a loss may be realized. Each of these loans is then evaluated to determine how much loss is estimated to be realized on its disposition. The sum of the losses on the individual loans becomes the Company’s specific allowance. This process is inherently subjective and actual losses may be greater than or less than the estimated specific allowance. The unallocated allowance is due to imprecision in the model and for losses that are not directly allocable to a specific loan type within the portfolio. As the loans, which are affected by these events, are identified or losses are experienced on the loans which are affected by these events, they will be reflected within the specific or general allowances. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the 2019 Form 10-K, provides additional information related to the allowance for loan losses.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company makes forward looking statements in this report that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward looking statements include statements regarding our profitability, liquidity, allowance for loan losses, interest rate sensitivity, market risk, growth strategy, and financial and other goals. The words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or other similar words or terms are intended to identify forward looking statements. These forward looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon or are affected by factors including:

•

the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including on the Company's credit quality and business operations, as well as its impact on general economic and financial market conditions;

Because of these uncertainties, actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward looking statements. In addition, past results of operations do not necessarily indicate future results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $8.7 million, an increase of 25.1% or $1.7 million when compared to the same period in 2019. Net income during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $3.4 million, an increase of $1.2 million or 52.7% as compared to net income during the three months ended September 30, 2019 of $2.2 million. Earnings per share, basic and diluted were $2.53 and $2.01 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Earnings per share, basic and diluted were $0.99 and $0.65 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Return on average assets ("ROA") measures how efficiently the Company uses its assets to produce net income. Some issues reflected within this efficiency include the Company’s asset mix, funding sources, pricing, fee generation, and cost control. The ROA of the Company, on an annualized basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 1.18% and 1.13%, respectively.

Return on average equity ("ROE") measures the utilization of shareholders’ equity in generating net income. This measurement is affected by the same factors as ROA with consideration to how much of the Company’s assets are funded by shareholders. The ROE of the Company, on an annualized basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 11.54% and 10.17%, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is our primary source of revenue, representing the difference between interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. The level of net interest income is impacted primarily by variations in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities, as well as changes in interest rates. Net interest income was $26.2 million and $23.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which represents an increase of $2.9 million or 12.7%. Net interest income was $9.5 million and $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which represents an increase of $1.5 million or 19.0%. Despite the decline in the interest rate environment, net interest income increased due to the increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio. Average interest earning assets increased $151.2 million when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 while the average yield on earning assets decreased by 41 basis points over that same period. This decrease in yield can be attributed to SBA PPP loans as well as the current interest rate environment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company originated $88.2 million in these loans which are lower yielding than the existing portfolio's yield.

Total interest income was $28.9 million and $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which represents an increase of $2.5 million or 9.4%. Total interest income was $10.2 million and $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which represents an increase of $1.1 million or 11.7%. The increase in interest income was driven by an increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio partially offset by the overall decrease in the interest rate environment during the reported time periods. As stated in the paragraph above, SBA PPP loans originated at a lower yield than the existing portfolio have contributed to this decrease in yield. Total interest expense was $2.7 million and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Total interest expense was $683 thousand and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which represents a decrease of $449 thousand or 39.7%. The decrease in interest expense resulted from the reduction in interest rates paid on deposit accounts.

The net interest margin was 3.81% and 4.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net interest margin was 3.86% and 4.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest income by total average earnings assets. Tax-equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit on certain securities and loans, whose interest is tax-exempt, to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The tax rate used to calculate the tax benefit was 21% for 2020 and 2019.

Given the expectation of continued low interest rates and a flat yield curve, net interest income and net interest margin could experience continued pressure.

The following table shows interest income on earning assets and related average yields as well as interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and related average rates paid for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

(1)	Tax benefit was calculated using the federal statutory tax rate of 21%.

The tax-equivalent yield on earning assets decreased from 4.60% to 4.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively and from 4.58% to 4.14% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For those same time periods, the tax-equivalent yield on securities decreased 45 and 46 basis points, respectively. The tax equivalent yield on loans decreased 25 basis points from 4.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 4.74% for the same time period in 2020. Comparing the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, the tax equivalent yield on loans decreased 36 basis points. The decrease in the tax-equivalent yield on earning assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulted mostly from the decrease in the tax-equivalent yield on loans. The decrease in the yield on loans as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to SBA PPP loans originating at a lower yield than the existing portfolio as well as rate decreases during the latter part of 2019 and early 2020. Additionally, as securities are maturing and being called or sold, they are being replaced with securities at lower rates.

The average rate on interest bearing liabilities decreased 26 basis points from 0.91% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 0.65% for the same time period in 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2020, the average rate on interest bearing liabilities decreased 46 basis points. Federal Reserve Bank interest rate decreases during the latter part of 2019 and early 2020 drove a reduction in interest rates paid on deposit accounts, which resulted in a lower rate paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s estimate of the amount required to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses as discussed within the Critical Accounting Policies section above. The allowance represents an amount that, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans while taking into consideration such factors as trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay and the value of collateral, overall portfolio quality and review of specific potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The amount of provision for loan losses is affected by several factors including the growth rate of loans, net charge-offs (recoveries), and the estimated amount of inherent losses within the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $100 thousand and $117 thousand, respectively. The provision for loan losses was $755 thousand and $567 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulted mostly from decline in the current state of the economy and the related increase in the qualitative factors within our allowance for loan losses, primarily associated with the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $6.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Total noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.2 million. Management reviews the activities which generate noninterest income on an ongoing basis. The following table provides the components of noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, which are included within the respective Consolidated Statements of Income headings. Variances that the Company believes require explanation are discussed below the table.

Services charges on deposit accounts decreased during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the same periods in 2019. This decrease is mainly due to decreases in overdraft charges. Reduced overdraft charges can be attributed mostly to changes in customer activity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other service charges and fees decreased during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the same periods in 2019. This decrease is mainly due to decreases in commissions from the sale of non-deposit investment products. Reduced commissions during these time periods can be attributed mostly to changes in customer activity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other operating income increased during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the same periods in 2019. This increase is mainly due to income from Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) investments. During 2020 the Company invested $12 million into BOLI. BOLI income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $102 thousand and $245 thousand, respectively. There was no BOLI income recognized during 2019.

Noninterest Expenses

Total noninterest expenses increased $888 thousand or 4.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Total noninterest expenses increased $54 thousand or 0.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The following table presents the components of noninterest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, which are included within the respective Consolidated Statements of Income headings.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and continues to have an impact on noninterest expenses. Decreases in expenses compared to the prior year were noted in advertising and marketing expenses as well as ATM network fees. These decreases were due to adjustments in the timing of marketing promotions and change in customer activity during this time. Increases in equipment expenses and computer software expenses in comparison to the prior year were largely due to hardware and software purchases to allow for remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Salaries and employee benefits increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 over 2019. Annual pay increases, newly hired employees and additional bonus/COVID pay for employees that have been unable to work remotely during the pandemic have attributed to these increases.

FDIC assessment decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and increased during the three months ended September 30, 2020 over 2019. The Company received notification of a Small Bank Credit Assessment for approximately $178 thousand during the second quarter of 2019. This credit was received because the Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio exceeded the established level as of June 30, 2019. Credits were applied to the successive invoices in 2019 and 2020. There was no credit balance to apply to the assessment starting with the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Data processing fees decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2020 over 2019 solely due to the timing of when the invoices were received from our core provider. Data processing fees increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 over 2019. Much of this increase is related to increases in the number of accounts as well as increased activity among the customer base.

Other operating expenses decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 over 2019. This can be attributed to several factors including reduced off-site training and travel expenses as well as lower levels of non-sufficient fund losses.

The efficiency ratio of the Company was 67.01% and 68.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The efficiency ratio of the Company was 64.43% and 68.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The efficiency ratio is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. It is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and noninterest income excluding gains and losses on the investment portfolio and other gains/losses from OREO, repossessed vehicles, disposals of bank premises and equipment, etc. The tax rate utilized is 21%. The Company calculates and reviews this ratio as a means of evaluating operational efficiency.

The calculation of the efficiency ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $1.8 million and $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Income tax expense was $712 thousand and $412 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was 17.06% and 15.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was 17.29% and 15.59% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate is below the statutory rate of 21% due to tax-exempt income on investment securities and loans. The effective tax rate is also impacted by Bank Owned Life Insurance ("BOLI") as well as income tax credits on qualified affordable housing project investments as discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as well as qualified rehabilitation credits. The slight variation between three and nine month periods can be attributed to higher pre-tax earnings and changes in the amount of nontaxable income which resulted in a lower ratio of nontaxable income to pre-tax income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

Total securities available for sale were $152.4 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $165.0 million at December 31, 2019. This represents a decrease of $12.6 million or 7.6%. The Company purchased $49.9 million securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company had total maturities, calls, and principal repayments of $37.0 million. There were $28.3 million sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company did not have any securities from a single issuer, other than U.S. government agencies, whose amount exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2020. Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides additional details about the Company’s securities portfolio at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company had a net unrealized gain on available for sale securities of $4.6 million at September 30, 2020 as compared to a net unrealized gain of $1.8 million at December 31, 2019. Unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities are reported within shareholders’ equity, net of the related deferred tax effect, as accumulated other comprehensive income.

Loan Portfolio

The Company’s primary use of funds is supporting lending activities from which it derives the greatest amount of interest income. Gross loans were $805.7 million and $644.8 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. This represents an increase of $160.9 million or 25.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The ratio of gross loans to deposits increased slightly during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 83.57% at December 31, 2019 to 84.35% at September 30, 2020. Strong loan growth during the second quarter allowed the ratio of gross loans to deposits to increase. Loan growth excluding SBA PPP loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $72.7 million or 11.3%. SBA PPP loans originated during the second and third quarters of 2020 and outstanding as of September 30, 2020 were $88.2 million.

The loan portfolio consists primarily of loans for owner-occupied single family dwellings and loans secured by commercial real estate. Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides the composition of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Residential real estate loans were $268.7 million or 33.4% and $234.0 million or 36.29% of total loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Commercial real estate loans were $312.4 million or 38.78% and $286.6 million or 44.45% of total loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, representing an increase of $25.8 million or 9.02% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Construction, land development, and farmland loans were $63.0 million or 7.82% and $56.5 million or 8.76% of total loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, representing an increase of $6.5 million or 11.53% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Consumer installment loans were $16.2 million or 2.01% and $9.5 million or 1.48% of total loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Commercial and industrial loans were $134.2 million or 16.66% and $46.5 million or 7.22% of total loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, representing an increase of $87.7 million or 188.41% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, loan growth was mainly concentrated in commercial and industrial loans, resulting from SBA PPP loan originations. There was also strong growth in residential and commercial real estate loans during this period.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The purpose of, and the methods for, measuring the allowance for loan losses are discussed in the Critical Accounting Policies section above. Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements shows the activity within the allowance for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2019. Charged-off loans were $164 thousand and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Recoveries were $1.1 million and $150 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This resulted in net recoveries of $933 thousand and net charge-offs of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company collected a $459 thousand recovery during the first quarter of 2020 related to an $850 thousand commercial and industrial loan charge-off in 2019. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 0.83% at September 30, 2020 and 0.77% at December 31, 2019. Excluding outstanding PPP loans of $88.2 million as of September 30, 2020, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.93%. The main reason for the increase in the ratio from December 31, 2019 was the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The allowance for loan losses was 155.10% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2020 and 227.59% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2019. Refer to the Nonperforming Assets and Other Assets section on the following page for further discussion on nonperforming loans.

All nonaccrual and other impaired loans were evaluated for impairment and any specific allocations were provided for as necessary. Based on management's evaluation and update of the Company's historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors assessed, the general reserve as a percentage of non-impaired loans increased from 0.73% at December 31, 2019 to 0.79% at September 30, 2020. This increase is largely due to the increase in the qualitative economic factor given the decline in the economy surrounding COVID-19 as well as consideration of other qualitative risk factors impacted by the pandemic. The Company changed its allowance methodology for the risk scale used in calculating the environmental factors portion of the general reserves assigned to unimpaired credits. During this quarter, management determined it necessary to adjust each of the risk scores assigned to all nine current environmental factors due to changes that had occurred both internally and outside of the Company that have an impact on payment defaults, collateral values, risk ratings, etc. Management also determined it necessary to adjust the loss history period from 28 quarters to 12 quarters. The Company believes that the revised risk scale and loss history period is more indicative of the losses and risks inherent in the portfolio. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is currently adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses as more economic data becomes available and as changes within the Company’s portfolio are known. The effects of the pandemic may require the Company to fund increases in the allowance for loan losses in future periods.

Nonperforming Assets and Other Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, repossessed assets, OREO (foreclosed properties), and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. Nonperforming loans increased by $2.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Nonaccrual loans were $4.3 million and $2.2 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Several larger dollar loans were placed in nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2020. The majority of these loans are in the commercial real estate portfolio and have had cash flows negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. OREO was $442 thousand and $183 thousand at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company held one property in OREO with an average balance of $442 thousand at September 30, 2020. The Company held one property in OREO with an average balance of $183 thousand at December 31, 2019. The percentage of nonperforming assets to loans and OREO was 0.59% at September 30, 2020 and 0.37% at December 31, 2019, respectively. There were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Total past due loans, as disclosed in note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, decreased to $1.5 million at September 30, 2020 compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Bank placed seven loans with an outstanding balance of $2.9 million on nonaccrual status. A portion of these loans were already considered impaired at December 31, 2019 and therefore did not cause a significant increase in the balance of impaired loans as of September 30, 2020. Management evaluates the financial condition of borrowers and the value of any collateral on nonaccrual loans. The results of these evaluations are used to estimate the amount of losses which may be realized on the disposition of these nonaccrual loans and are reflected in the allowance for loan losses.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when collection of principal and interest is doubtful, generally when a loan becomes 90 days past due. There are three negative implications for earnings when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. First, all interest accrued but unpaid at the date that the loan is placed on non-accrual status is either deducted from interest income or written off as a loss. Second, accruals of interest are discontinued until it becomes certain that both principal and interest can be repaid. Finally, there may be actual losses to principal that require additional provisions for loan losses to be charged against earnings.

For real estate loans, upon foreclosure, the balance of the loan is transferred to OREO and carried at the fair value of the property based on current appraisals and other current market trends, less estimated selling costs. If a write down of the OREO property is necessary at the time of foreclosure, the amount is charged-off to the allowance for loan losses. A review of the recorded property value is performed in conjunction with normal loan reviews, and if market conditions indicate that the recorded value exceeds the fair value, additional write downs of the property value are charged directly to operations.

In addition, the Company may, under certain circumstances, restructure loans in troubled debt restructurings as a concession to a borrower when the borrower is experiencing financial distress. Formal, standardized loan restructuring programs are not utilized by the Company. Each loan considered for restructuring is evaluated based on customer circumstances and may include modifications to one or more loan provisions. Such restructured loans are included in impaired loans. However, restructured loans are not necessarily considered nonperforming assets. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $2.8 million in restructured loans with specific allowances totaling $152 thousand. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $3.0 million in restructured loans with specific allowances totaling $103 thousand. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, total restructured loans performing under the restructured terms and accruing interest were $2.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Two loans, totaling $126 thousand, were in nonaccrual status at September 30, 2020. Four loans, totaling $401 thousand, were in nonaccrual status at December 31, 2019. As noted in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements the Bank modified a significant number of loans during the first three quarters of 2020 to allow for short-term payment deferrals. These loans were not considered TDRs based on the provisions of the CARES Act and interagency guidance issued.

Deposits

Total deposits were $955.2 million and $771.5 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. This represents an increase of $183.7 million or 23.81% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides the composition of total deposits at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The growth in deposits mainly reflected PPP loan proceeds being deposited into customers’ accounts at the time the loans were originated and remaining on deposit as of September 30, 2020. Deposit growth, net of SBA PPP loan proceeds, was $95.5 million or 12.38%.

Noninterest-bearing demand deposits, which are comprised of checking accounts, increased $110.0 million or 40.88% from $269.2 million at December 31, 2019 to $379.2 million at September 30, 2020. Savings and interest-bearing demand deposits, which include NOW accounts, money market accounts and regular savings accounts increased $82.5 million or 22.66% from $364.2 million at December 31, 2019 to $446.7 million at September 30, 2020. Savings and interest-bearing demand deposits included $32.3 million and $27.0 million in reciprocal ICS deposits at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Time deposits decreased $8.8 million or 6.40% from $138.2 million at December 31, 2019 to $129.4 million at September 30, 2020.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to be a well capitalized financial institution. Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2020 was $103.9 million, reflecting a percentage of total assets of 9.68%, as compared to $96.3 million and 10.98% at December 31, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company declared dividends of $0.78 and $0.74 per share, respectively. The Company has a Dividend Investment Plan that allows shareholders to reinvest dividends in Company stock.

At September 30, 2020, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements and had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions. The Bank monitors these ratios on a quarterly basis and has several strategies, including without limitation the issuance of common stock, to ensure that these ratios remain above regulatory minimums. Federal regulatory risk-based capital guidelines require percentages to be applied to various assets, including off-balance sheet assets, based on their perceived risk in order to calculate risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists of total shareholders’ equity less net unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and changes in the benefit obligations and plan assets for the post retirement benefit plan. Total capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital plus the allowable portion of the allowance for loan losses.

For capital adequacy purposes financial institutions must maintain a Tier 1 common equity risk-based capital ratio of 4.50%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.00%, a Total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.00% and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.00%. The rules require the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer”, (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer, (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer, and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets. The Bank's institution specific capital conservation buffer at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 5.64% and 6.40%, respectively. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with any ratio (excluding the leverage ratio) above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

The Bank's Tier 1 common risk-based capital ratio was 12.75% at September 30, 2020 as compared to 13.65% at December 31, 2019. The Bank’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.75% at September 30, 2020 as compared to 13.65% at December 31, 2019. The Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 13.64% at September 30, 2020 as compared to 14.40% at December 31, 2019. The Bank’s Tier 1 capital to average total assets ratio was 9.31% at September 30, 2020 as compared to 10.61% at December 31, 2019. Through October 31, 2020, the Bank's capital ratios continued to exceed the regulatory minimums for well-capitalized institutions. We are closely monitoring our capital position and are taking appropriate steps to ensure our level of capital remains strong. Our capital, while significant, may fluctuate in future periods due to the effects of the pandemic and limit our ability to pay dividends.

On September 17, 2019, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation finalized a rule that introduces an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations (i.e., the community bank leverage ratio “CBLR” framework), as required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. The CBLR framework is designed to reduce burden by removing the requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the framework. In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking organization must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9 percent, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. On April 6, 2020, in a joint statement, the FDIC, Federal Reserve and the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), issued two interim final rules regarding temporary changes to the CBLR framework to implement provisions of the CARES Act. Under the interim final rules, the community bank leverage ratio will be reduced to 8 percent beginning in the second quarter and for the remainder of calendar year 2020, 8.5 percent for calendar year 2021, and 9 percent thereafter. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. The CBLR framework was first available for banks to use beginning in their March 31, 2020, Call Report. The Bank did not opt into the CBLR framework as of September 30, 2020.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity management involves meeting the present and future financial obligations of the Company with the sale or maturity of assets or with the occurrence of additional liabilities. Liquidity needs are met with cash on hand, deposits in banks, federal funds sold, securities classified as available for sale and loans maturing within one year. At September 30, 2020, liquid assets totaled $302.8 million as compared to $290.3 million at December 31, 2019. These amounts represent 31.23% and 37.17% of total liabilities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company minimizes liquidity demand by utilizing core deposits to fund asset growth. Securities provide a constant source of liquidity through paydowns and maturities. Also, the Company maintains short-term borrowing arrangements, namely federal funds lines of credit, with larger financial institutions as an additional source of liquidity. The Bank’s membership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta provides a source of borrowings with numerous rate and term structures. In April 2020, the Federal Reserve initiated the Payment Protection Program Liquidity Facility ("PPPLF"), which is designed to facilitate lending by financial institutions to small businesses under the SBA PPP. Only SBA PPP loans are eligible to serve as collateral for the PPPLF. Although approved to use the PPPLF, as of September 30, 2020, the Company had not borrowed any funds via the PPPLF. The Company’s senior management monitors the liquidity position regularly and attempts to maintain a position which utilizes available funds most efficiently. Our liquidity, while significant, may fluctuate in future periods due to the effects of the pandemic, funding of SBA PPP loans and deferral of loan payments.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Other than as set forth below, there were no material changes to the Company’s risk factors as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operations; the extent of such impacts are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

Global health and economic concerns relating to the COVID-19 outbreak and government actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have had a material adverse impact on the macroeconomic environment, and the outbreak has significantly increased economic uncertainty. The pandemic has resulted in federal, state and local authorities, including those who govern the markets in which we operate, implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus. These measures, including shelter in place orders and business limitations and shutdowns, have significantly contributed to rising unemployment and negatively impacted consumer and business spending.

The COVID-19 outbreak has adversely impacted and is likely to continue to adversely impact our workforce and operations and the operations of our customers and business partners. In particular, we may experience adverse effects due to a number of operational factors impacting us or our customers or business partners, including but not limited to:

•

credit losses resulting from financial stress experienced by our borrowers, especially those operating in industries most hard hit by government measures to contain the spread of the virus;

•

operational failures, disruptions or inefficiencies due to changes in our normal business practices necessitated by our internal measures to protect our employees and government-mandated measures intended to slow the spread of the virus;

•

possible business disruptions experienced by our vendors and business partners in carrying out work that supports our operations;

•

decreased demand for our products and services due to economic uncertainty, volatile market conditions and temporary business closures;

•

any financial liability, credit losses, litigation costs or reputational damage resulting from our origination of PPP loans; and

•

heightened levels of cyber and payment fraud, as cyber criminals try to take advantage of the disruption and increased online activity brought about by the pandemic.

The extent to which the pandemic impacts our business, liquidity, financial condition and operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, its duration and severity, the actions to contain it or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. In addition, the rapidly changing and unprecedented nature of COVID-19 heightens the inherent uncertainty of forecasting future economic conditions and their impact on our loan portfolio, thereby increasing the risk that the assumptions, judgments and estimates used to determine the allowance for loan losses and other estimates are incorrect. Further, our loan deferral program could delay or make it difficult to identify the extent of asset quality deterioration during the deferral period. As a result of these and other conditions, the ultimate impact of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change, and we cannot predict the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. To the extent any of the foregoing risks or other factors that develop as a result of COVID-19 materialize, it could exacerbate the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
