Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (BancShares) is a financial holding company organized under the laws of Delaware and conducts operations through its banking subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (FCB), which is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina.

General

These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in BancShares' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Reclassifications

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders' equity or net income.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in BancShares' consolidated financial position, the consolidated results of its operations or related disclosures. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include:


•	Allowance for loan and lease losses;


•	Fair value of financial instruments, including acquired assets and assumed liabilities;


•	Pension plan assumptions;


•	Cash flow estimates on purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans;


•	Goodwill and other intangible assets;


•	Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) shared-loss payable; and


•	Income tax assets, liabilities and expense

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

This ASU requires a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the newly enacted federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act), which was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act included a reduction to the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. The amount of the reclassification would be the difference between the historical corporate income tax rate and the newly enacted 21 percent corporate income tax rate.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted the guidance effective in the first quarter of 2018. The change in accounting principle was accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet resulting in a $31.3 million increase to retained earnings and a corresponding decrease to AOCI on January 1, 2018.

Table of Contents

FASB ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost

This ASU requires employers to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Employers will present the other components separately from the line item that includes the service cost. In addition, only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted the guidance effective in the first quarter of 2018. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

FASB ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

This ASU addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of certain financial instruments. The amendments in this ASU (1) require most equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (2) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without a readily determinable fair value; (3) eliminate the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (4) require public business entities to use exit price notion, rather than entry prices, when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (5) require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; (6) require separate presentation in other comprehensive income of the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; and (7) state that a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to available-for-sale securities should be evaluated in combination with other deferred tax assets.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted the guidance effective in the first quarter of 2018. The change in accounting principle was accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet resulting in an $18.7 million increase to retained earnings and a decrease to AOCI on January 1, 2018. With the adoption of this ASU equity securities can no longer be classified as available for sale, as such marketable equity securities are disclosed as a separate line item on the balance sheet with changes in the fair value of equity securities reflected in net income.

For equity investments without a readily determinable fair value, BancShares has elected to measure the equity investments using the measurement alternative which requires BancShares to make a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired at each reporting period. Under the measurement alternative these investments will be measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, BancShares will estimate the investment's fair value in accordance with ASC 820 and, if the fair value is less than the investment's carrying value, recognize an impairment loss in net income equal to the difference between carrying value and fair value. Equity investments without a readily determinable fair value are recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)

In May 2014, the FASB issued a standard on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers with the core principle being for a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard, which provides a five step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized, also results in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provides guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improves guidance for multiple-element arrangements.

Per ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, this guidance was deferred and is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We adopted the guidance effective in the first quarter of 2018. Our revenue is comprised primarily of net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of the new guidance, and noninterest income. The contracts that are in scope of the guidance are primarily related to cardholder and merchant services income, service charges on deposit accounts, wealth management services income, other service charges and fees, insurance commissions, ATM income, sales of other real estate and other. Based on our overall assessment of revenue streams and review of related contracts affected by the ASU, the adoption of this guidance did not change the method in which we currently recognize revenue.

We also completed an evaluation of the costs related to these revenue streams to determine whether such costs should be presented as expenses or contra-revenue (i.e., gross vs. net). Based on this evaluation, we determined that the classification of cardholder and merchant processing costs as well as expenses for cardholder reward programs should be netted against cardholder and merchant services income. We used the full retrospective method of adoption and restated the prior financial statements to net the cardholder and merchant processing costs against the related cardholder and merchant services income. These classification changes resulted in changes to both noninterest income and noninterest expense, however, there was no change to previously reported net income. Merchant processing expenses of $20.8 million and $40.0 million have been reclassified and reported as a component of merchant services income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Cardholder processing expenses of $6.8 million and cardholder reward programs expense of $3.0 million have been reclassified and reported as a component of cardholder services income for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, cardholder processing expenses of $12.7 million and cardholder reward programs expense of $5.5 million were reclassified and reported as a component of cardholder services income.

Revenue Recognition

The standard requires disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information surrounding the amount, nature, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new standard is that revenue should be recognized when a company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Descriptions of our noninterest revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of the new revenue ASU is broadly segregated as follows:

Cardholder and Merchant Services - These represent interchange fees from customer debit and credit card transactions that are earned at the time a cardholder engages in a transaction with a merchant as well as fees charged to merchants for providing them the ability to accept and process the debit and credit card transaction. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation has been met as it is satisfied upon the completion of the card transaction. Additionally, ASU 2014-09 requires costs associated with cardholder and merchant services transactions to be netted against the fees from such transactions when an entity is acting as an agent in providing services to a customer.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts - These deposit account-related fees represent monthly account maintenance and transaction-based service fees such as overdraft fees, stop payment fees and charges for issuing cashier's checks and money orders. For account maintenance services, revenue is recognized at the end of the statement period when our performance obligation has been satisfied. All other revenues from transaction-based services are recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation has been completed.

Wealth Management Services - These primarily represent annuity fees, sales commissions, management fees, insurance sales, and trust and asset management fees. The performance obligation for wealth management services is the provision of services to place annuity products issued by the counterparty to investors, and the provision of services to manage the client’s assets, including brokerage custodial and other management services. Revenue is recognized over the period in which services are performed, are based on a percentage of the value of the assets under management/administration, and are fixed or variable based on account type, or are transaction-based.

Other Service Charges and Fees - These include, but are not limited to, check cashing fees, international banking fees, internet banking fees, wire transfer fees and safe deposit fees. These fees are charged, and revenue is recognized, at the point in time the service being requested by the customer is provided thus satisfying our performance obligation.

Insurance Commissions - These represent commissions earned on the issuance of insurance products and services. The performance obligation is generally satisfied upon the issuance of the insurance policy and revenue is recognized when the commission payment is remitted by the insurance carrier or policy holder depending on if the billing is performed by FCB or the carrier.

ATM Income - These represent fees imposed on customers and non-customers for engaging in an ATM transaction. Revenue is recognized at the time of the transaction as the performance obligation of rendering the ATM service has been met.

Sales of Other Real Estate - ORE property consists of foreclosed real estate used as collateral for loans, closed branches, land acquired and no longer intended for future use by FCB, and other real estate purchased for resale as ORE. Revenue is generally recognized on the date of sale where the performance obligation of providing access and transferring control of the specified ORE property to the buyer in good faith and good title is satisfied. This is recorded as a component of other noninterest income.

Other - This consists of several forms of recurring revenue such as external rental income, parking income, FHLB dividends, and income earned on changes in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, all of which are outside the scope of ASU

2014-09. The remaining miscellaneous income is the result of immaterial transactions where revenue is recognized when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This ASU eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative test.

This ASU will be effective for BancShares' annual or interim goodwill impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We expect to adopt the guidance for our annual impairment test in fiscal year 2020. BancShares does not anticipate any impact to our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations as a result of the adoption.

FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

This ASU eliminates the delayed recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss was probable of occurring and instead will reflect an entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses. The amendments in this ASU broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The ASU does not specify a method for measuring expected credit losses and allows an entity to apply methods that reasonably reflect its expectations of the credit loss estimate based on the entity's size, complexity and risk profile. In addition, the disclosures of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables, a current disclosure requirement, are further disaggregated by year of origination.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We will adopt the guidance by the first quarter of 2020 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. For BancShares, the standard will apply to loans, unfunded loan commitments and debt securities. A cross-functional team co-led by Corporate Finance and Risk Management is in place to implement the new standard. The team continues to work on critical activities such as building models, documenting accounting policies, reviewing data quality, and implementing a reporting and disclosure solution. We continue to evaluate the impact the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements but the magnitude of this impact has not been determined. The final impact will be dependent, among other items, on loan portfolio composition and credit quality at the adoption date, as well as economic conditions, financial models used and forecasts at that time.

FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)

This ASU increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The key difference between existing standards and this ASU is the requirement for lessees to recognize all lease contracts on their balance sheet. This ASU requires lessees to classify leases as either operating or finance leases, which are substantially similar to the current operating and capital leases classifications. The distinction between these two classifications under the new standard does not relate to balance sheet treatment, but relates to treatment in the statements of income and cash flows. Lessor guidance remains largely unchanged with the exception of how a lessor determines the appropriate lease classification for each lease to better align the lessor guidance with revised lessee classification guidance.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt during the first quarter of 2019. We expect an increase to the Consolidated Balance Sheets for right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities, as well as resulting depreciation expense of the right-of-use assets and interest expense of the lease liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Income, for arrangements previously accounted for as operating leases. Additionally, adding these assets to our balance sheet will impact our

Table of Contents

total risk-weighted assets used to determine our regulatory capital levels. Our impact analysis on this change in accounting principle estimates an increase to the Consolidated Balance Sheets for total lease liability ranging between $65.0 million and $85.0 million, as the initial gross up of both assets and liabilities. Capital is expected to be adversely impacted by an estimated four to six basis points. These are preliminary estimates subject to change and will continue to be refined closer to adoption.

NOTE B - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Palmetto Heritage Bancshares, Inc.

On July 25, 2018, First Citizens Bank and Palmetto Heritage Bancshares, Inc. announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement. The agreement provides for the acquisition of Pawley's Island, SC-based Palmetto Heritage Bancshares. Under the terms of the agreement, cash consideration of $135.00 per share will be paid to the shareholders of Palmetto Heritage Bancshares for each share of Palmetto Heritage's common stock with total consideration paid of $30.3 million. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2018, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and the approval of Palmetto Heritage Bancshares’ shareholders. As of June 30, 2018, Palmetto Heritage Bancshares reported $167.9 million in consolidated assets, $137.8 million in loans and $126.4 million in deposits.

Capital Commerce Bancorp, Inc.

On June 27, 2018, FCB and Capital Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (Capital Commerce) entered into a definitive merger agreement. The agreement provides for the acquisition of Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based Capital Commerce by FCB. Under the terms of the agreement, cash consideration of $4.75 per share will be paid to the shareholders of Capital Commerce for each share of Capital Commerce's common stock totaling approximately $28.1 million. The transaction is expected to close no later than the fourth quarter of 2018, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and the approval of Capital Commerce's shareholders, and will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The merger will allow FCB to expand its presence and enhance banking efforts in the Milwaukee market. As of March 31, 2018, Capital Commerce reported $216.2 million in consolidated assets, $180.6 million in loans and $171.0 million in deposits.

HomeBancorp, Inc.

On May 1, 2018, FCB completed the merger of Tampa, Florida-based HomeBancorp, Inc. (HomeBancorp) and its subsidiary, HomeBanc, into FCB. Under the terms of the merger agreement, cash consideration of $15.03 was paid to the shareholders of HomeBancorp for each share of HomeBancorp's common stock and total consideration was $112.7 million. The merger allowed FCB to expand its footprint in Florida by entering into two new markets in Tampa and Orlando.

The HomeBancorp transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information regarding closing date fair values becomes available.

The fair value of the assets acquired was $842.7 million, including $550.6 million in non-purchased credit impaired (non-PCI) loans, $15.6 million in purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans and $9.9 million in a core deposit intangible. Liabilities assumed were $787.7 million, of which $619.6 million were deposits. As a result of the transaction, FCB recorded $57.6 million of goodwill. The amount of goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. The premium paid reflects the increased market share and related synergies that are expected to result from the acquisition. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes as the merger is accounted for as a qualified stock purchase.

Based on such credit factors as past due status, nonaccrual status, loan-to-value, credit scores, and other quantitative and qualitative considerations, the acquired loans were separated into loans with evidence of credit deterioration, which are accounted for under ASC 310-30 (PCI loans), and loans that do not meet this criteria, which are accounted for under ASC 310-20 (non-PCI loans).

As a result of adopting ASU 2016-01 in the first quarter of 2018, investments in marketable equity securities are no longer classified as investments available for sale. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $107.3 million and $105.2 million, respectively, in marketable equity securities recorded at fair value. Prior to January 1, 2018 equity securities were classified as available for sale and stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. A cumulative-effect adjustment of $18.7 million was recorded on January 1, 2018 to reclassify the net unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

On May 1, 2018, mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $2.49 billion were transferred from investments available for sale to the held to maturity portfolio. At the time of transfer, the mortgage-backed securities had a fair value of $2.38 billion and a weighted average contractual maturity of 13 years. The unrealized loss on these securities at the date of transfer was $109.5 million and continues to be reported as a component of AOCI. This unrealized loss will be accreted over the remaining expected life of the securities as an adjustment of yield and is offset by the amortization of the corresponding discount on the transferred securities. FCB has the intent and ability to retain these securities until maturity.

Investments in mortgage-backed securities primarily represent securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Investments in government agency securities represent securities issued by the United States Small Business Administration. Investments in corporate bonds and

marketable equity securities represent positions in securities of other financial institutions. Other investments include trust preferred securities of financial institutions. The following table provides the amortized cost and fair value by contractual maturity. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities on certain securities because borrowers and issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. Repayments of mortgage-backed securities are dependent on the repayments of the underlying loan balances.

As of June 30, 2018, there were 120 investment securities available for sale that had continuous losses for more than 12 months of which 119 are government sponsored enterprise-issued mortgage-backed securities or government agency securities and 1 is a corporate bond. There were 2 investment securities held to maturity, which were government sponsored enterprise-issued mortgage securities, that had continuous losses for more than 12 months at June 30, 2018.

None of the unrealized losses identified as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017 relate to the marketability of the securities or the issuers' ability to honor redemption obligations. Rather, the unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates relative to when the debt securities were purchased. BancShares has the ability and intent to retain these securities for a period of time sufficient to recover all unrealized losses. Therefore, none of the securities were deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

Debt securities having an aggregate carrying value of $3.67 billion at June 30, 2018 and $4.59 billion at December 31, 2017 were pledged as collateral to secure public funds on deposit and certain short-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required by law.

NOTE D - LOANS AND LEASES

BancShares' accounting methods for loans and leases differ depending on whether they are non-PCI or PCI. For loans to be included as non-PCI, they are either originated by FCB or it must be determined that the loans do not have any credit deterioration at the time of acquisition. Conversely, loans for which it is probable at acquisition that all required payments will not be collected in accordance with contractual terms are considered impaired and, therefore, classified as PCI loans. PCI loans are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. No allowance for loan and lease losses is recorded on the acquisition date as the fair value of the acquired assets incorporates assumptions regarding credit risk over the life of the loans. An allowance is subsequently recorded if there is additional credit deterioration after the acquisition date.

BancShares reports non-PCI and PCI loan portfolios separately, and the non-PCI portfolio is further divided into commercial and non-commercial based on the type of borrower, purpose, collateral, and/or our underlying credit management processes. Additionally, commercial and non-commercial loans are assigned to loan classes, which further disaggregate loans based upon common risk characteristics.

Table of Contents

Commercial – Commercial loan classes include construction and land development, commercial mortgage, other commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, lease financing and other.

Construction and land development – Construction and land development consists of loans to finance land for development, investment, and use in a commercial business enterprise; multifamily apartments; and other commercial buildings that may be owner-occupied or income generating investments for the owner.

At June 30, 2018, $9.08 billion in noncovered loans with a lendable collateral value of $6.22 billion were used to secure $128.7 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Atlanta advances, resulting in additional borrowing capacity of $6.09 billion. At December 31, 2017, $8.75 billion in noncovered loans with a lendable collateral value of $6.08 billion were used to secure $835.2 million in FHLB of Atlanta advances, resulting in additional borrowing capacity of $5.24 billion. At June 30, 2018, $2.88 billion in noncovered loans with a lendable collateral value of $2.17 billion were used to secure additional borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB).

Certain residential real estate loans are originated to be sold to investors and are recorded in loans held for sale at fair value. Loans held for sale totaled $59.0 million and $51.2 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. In addition, we may change our strategy for certain portfolio loans and sell them in the secondary market. At that time, portfolio loans are transferred to loans held for sale at the lower of amortized cost or market. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, total proceeds from sales of loans held for sale were $164.2 million and $302.8 million, respectively, and there were no transfers to loans held for sale from the residential mortgage portfolio for either period. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, total proceeds from sales of loans held for sale which did not include any loans transferred from the residential mortgage portfolio were $147.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, total proceeds from sales of loans held for sale were $342.1 million of which $32.3 million in sales were transferred to loans held for sale from the residential mortgage portfolio, resulting in a gain of $164 thousand.

Net deferred fees on originated non-PCI loans and leases, including unearned income as well as unamortized costs and fees, were $1.2 million and $1.7 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The unamortized discount related to purchased non-PCI loans and leases in the HomeBancorp, Guaranty Bank (Guaranty), Cordia Bancorp Inc. (Cordia) and First Citizens Bancorporation, Inc. (Bancorporation) acquisitions was $7.0 million, $12.3 million, $1.9 million and $14.7 million, respectively, at June 30, 2018. At December 31, 2017, the unamortized discount related to purchased non-PCI loans and leases from the Guaranty, Cordia and Bancorporation acquisitions was $14.2 million, $2.7 million and $18.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, accretion income on purchased non-PCI loans and leases was $4.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, accretion income on purchased non-PCI loans and leases was $7.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

Credit quality indicators

Loans and leases are monitored for credit quality on a recurring basis. The credit quality indicators used are dependent on the portfolio segment to which the loan relates. Commercial and noncommercial loans and leases have different credit quality indicators as a result of the unique characteristics of the loan segment being evaluated. The credit quality indicators for non-PCI and PCI commercial loans and leases are developed through a review of individual borrowers on an ongoing basis. Commercial loans are evaluated periodically with more frequent evaluations done on more severely criticized loans or leases. The credit quality indicators for non-PCI and PCI noncommercial loans are based on the delinquency status of the borrower. As the borrower becomes more delinquent, the likelihood of loss increases. The indicators represent the rating for loans or leases as of the date presented based on the most recent assessment performed. These credit quality indicators are defined as follows:

Pass – A pass rated asset is not adversely classified because it does not display any of the characteristics for adverse classification.

Special mention – A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, such potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not warrant adverse classification.

Substandard – A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets classified as substandard generally have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These assets are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – An asset classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in an asset classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values.

Loss – Assets classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that it is inappropriate to be carried as an asset. This classification is not necessarily equivalent to any potential for recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not appropriate to defer a full charge-off even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

Table of Contents

Ungraded – Ungraded loans represent loans that are not included in the individual credit grading process due to their relatively small balances or borrower type. The majority of ungraded loans at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 relate to business credit cards. Business credit card loans are subject to automatic charge-off when they become 120 days past due in the same manner as unsecured consumer lines of credit. The remaining balance is comprised of a small amount of commercial mortgage, lease financing and other commercial real estate loans.

The carrying value of loans on the cost recovery method was $2.1 million at June 30, 2018 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2017. The cost recovery method is applied to loans when the timing of future cash flows is not reasonably estimable due to borrower nonperformance or uncertainty in the ultimate disposition of the asset. The recorded investment of PCI loans on nonaccrual status was $1.6 million and $624 thousand at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, accretion income on PCI loans was $14.2 million and $20.4 million, respectively.

For PCI loans, improved credit loss expectations generally result in the reclassification of nonaccretable difference to accretable yield. Changes in expected cash flow not related to credit improvements or deterioration do not affect the nonaccretable difference.

The following table documents changes to the amount of accretable yield for the first six months of 2018 and 2017.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

BancShares accounts for certain loan modifications or restructurings as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). In general, the modification or restructuring of a loan is considered a TDR if, for economic reasons or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, a concession is granted to the borrower that creditors would not otherwise consider. Concessions may relate to the contractual interest rate, maturity date, payment structure or other actions. The majority of TDRs are included in the special mention, substandard or doubtful credit grading categories, which results in more elevated loss expectations when projecting the expected cash flows that are used to determine the allowance for loan losses associated with these loans. The more severely graded the loan, the lower the estimated expected cash flows and the greater the allowance recorded. All TDRs are individually evaluated for impairment through review of collateral values or analysis of cash flows at least annually.

The following table provides a summary of total TDRs by accrual status.

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, BancShares had $15.1 million and $19.8 million, respectively, of foreclosed residential real estate property in OREO. The recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property in the process of foreclosure was $25.3 million and $26.9 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

NOTE G - FDIC SHARED-LOSS PAYABLE

BancShares completed six FDIC-assisted transactions with shared-loss agreements during the period beginning in 2009 through 2011. Prior to its merger into BancShares, Bancorporation completed three FDIC-assisted transactions with shared-loss agreements.

As of June 30, 2018, shared-loss agreements are still active for Georgian Bank (GB) and United Western Bank (UWB). Shared-loss protection remains for single family residential loans acquired from UWB and GB in the amount of $62.1 million.

The shared-loss agreements for two FDIC-assisted transactions, First Regional Bank (FRB) and UWB, include provisions related to payments that may be owed to the FDIC at the termination of the agreements (clawback liability). The clawback liability represents a payment by BancShares to the FDIC if actual cumulative losses on acquired covered assets are lower than the cumulative losses originally estimated by the FDIC at the time of acquisition and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a payable to the FDIC under the relevant shared-loss agreements. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the estimated clawback liability was $103.5 million and $101.3 million, respectively. The clawback liability payment dates for FRB and UWB are March 2020 and March 2021, respectively.

The following table provides changes in the FDIC shared-loss payable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

NOTE H - MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

Our portfolio of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $2.87 billion and $2.81 billion as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These loans were originated by BancShares and sold to third parties on a non-recourse basis with servicing rights retained. These retained servicing rights are recorded as a servicing asset and reported in other intangible assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The mortgage servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value and then carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair market value.

Table of Contents

The activity of the servicing asset for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is presented in the following table:



	Three months ended June 30						Six months ended June 30
(Dollars in thousands)	2018			2017			2018			2017
Beginning balance	$	21,659		$	20,771		$	21,945		$	20,415

Valuation allowance reversal	—			—			—			4
Ending balance	$	21,657		$	20,524		$	21,657		$	20,524

The amortization expense related to mortgage servicing rights is included as a reduction of mortgage income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Mortgage income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and the three months ended June 30, 2017 did not include any impairment compared to an impairment reversal of $4 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Contractually specified mortgage servicing fees, late fees, and ancillary fees earned for both the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $1.9 million and reported in mortgage income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, contractually specified mortgage servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees earned were $3.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

Valuation of mortgage servicing rights is performed using a pooling methodology. Similar loans are pooled together and evaluated on a discounted earnings basis to determine the present value of future earnings. Key economic assumptions used to value mortgage servicing rights as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:



	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Discount rate - conventional fixed loans	9.86		%	9.41		%
Discount rate - all loans excluding conventional fixed loans	10.86		%	10.41		%
Weighted average constant prepayment rate	8.43		%	10.93		%
Weighted average cost to service a loan	$	72.79		$	64.03

The discount rate is based on the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 700 basis points for conventional fixed loans and 800 basis points for all other loans. The 700 and 800 basis points are used as a risk premium when calculating the discount rate. The repayment rate is derived from the Public Securities Association Standard Prepayment model. The average cost to service a loan is based on the number of loans serviced and the total costs to service the loans.

NOTE I - REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

BancShares utilizes securities sold under agreements to repurchase to facilitate the needs of customers and secure wholesale funding needs. Repurchase agreements are transactions whereby BancShares offers to sell to a counterparty an undivided interest in an eligible security at an agreed upon purchase price, and which obligates BancShares to repurchase the security on an agreed upon date at an agreed upon repurchase price plus interest at an agreed upon rate. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are recorded at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction and are generally reflected as short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

BancShares monitors collateral levels on a continuous basis and maintains records of each transaction specifically describing the applicable security and the counterparty’s fractional interest in that security, and segregates the security from general assets in accordance with regulations governing custodial holdings of securities. The primary risk with repurchase agreements is market risk associated with the investments securing the transactions, as additional collateral may be required based on fair value changes of the underlying investments. Securities pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements are maintained with safekeeping agents. The carrying value of available for sale investment securities pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements was $511.8 million and $684.2 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The remaining contractual maturity of the securities sold under agreements to repurchase by class of collateral pledged included overnight and continuous U.S. Treasury securities totaling $499.7 million at June 30, 2018 and $556.2 million at December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017, there also were U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining contractual maturity of 30-90 days totaling $30.0 million for a gross amount of $586.2 million.

NOTE J - ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES

Fair value estimates are intended to represent the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Where there is no active market for a financial instrument, BancShares has made estimates using discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. Inputs used in these valuation techniques are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and require significant judgment and therefore can only be derived within a range of precision. Accordingly, the derived fair value estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts BancShares would realize in a current market exchange.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, indicates that assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels. The levels are based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The level within the fair value hierarchy for an asset or liability is based on the highest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (with Level 1 considered highest and Level 3 considered lowest). A brief description of each level follows:


•	Level 1 values are based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.


•	Level 2 values are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.


•	Level 3 values are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or assumptions are not observable in the market. These unobservable inputs and assumptions reflect estimates that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

BancShares' management reviews any changes to its valuation methodologies to ensure they are appropriate and supportable, and refines valuation methodologies as more market-based data becomes available. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

The methodologies used to estimate the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:

Investment securities available for sale. Investment securities available for sale are carried at fair value. U.S. Treasury, government agency and mortgage-backed securities are generally measured at fair value using a third party pricing service. The third party provider evaluates securities based on comparable investments with trades and market data and will utilize pricing models that use a variety of inputs, such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids and offers as needed. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. Corporate bonds and trust preferred securities are generally measured at fair value based on indicative bids from broker-dealers and are not directly observable. These securities are considered Level 3.

Marketable equity securities. Equity securities are measured at fair value using observable closing prices and the valuation also considers the amount of market activity by examining the trade volume of each security. Equity securities are classified as Level 1 if they are traded in an active market and as Level 2 if the observable closing price is from a less than active market.

Loans held for sale. Certain residential real estate loans are originated to be sold to investors are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices for similar types of loans. Accordingly, the inputs used to calculate fair value of originated residential real estate loans held for sale are classified as Level 2 inputs. Portfolio loans that are subsequently transferred to held for sale to be sold in the secondary market are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The fair value of the transferred portfolio loans is based on the quoted prices and is considered a Level 1 input.

Net loans and leases (PCI and Non-PCI). Fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows using the current interest rates at which loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. The inputs used in the fair value measurements for loans and leases are considered Level 3 inputs.

FHLB stock. The carrying amount of FHLB stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these securities are not readily marketable and are evaluated for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. BancShares considers positive and negative evidence, including the profitability and asset quality of the issuer, dividend payment history and recent redemption experience, when determining the ultimate recoverability of the par value. BancShares believes its investment in FHLB stock is ultimately recoverable at par. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for the FHLB stock are considered Level 2 inputs.

Table of Contents

Mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or market and are, therefore, carried at fair value only when fair value is less than the amortized cost. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is performed using a pooling methodology. Similar loans are pooled together and a model that relies on discount rates, estimates of prepayment rates and the weighted average cost to service the loans is used to determine the fair value. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for mortgage servicing rights are considered Level 3 inputs.

Deposits. For non-time deposits, carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for deposits are considered Level 2 inputs.

Long-term obligations. For long-term obligations, the fair values are determined based on recent trades or sales of the actual security if available, otherwise, fair values are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar financial instruments. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for long-term obligations are considered Level 2 inputs.

Payable to the FDIC for shared-loss agreements. The fair value of the payable to the FDIC for shared-loss agreements is determined by the projected cash flows based on expected payments to the FDIC in accordance with the shared-loss agreements. Cash flows are discounted using current discount rates to reflect the timing of the estimated amounts due to the FDIC. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for the payable to the FDIC are considered Level 3 inputs.

Off-balance-sheet commitments and contingencies. Carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of the fair values for such financial instruments. Carrying amounts include unamortized fee income and, in some cases, reserves for any credit losses from those financial instruments. These amounts are not material to BancShares' financial position.

For all other financial assets and financial liabilities, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The carrying value and fair value for these assets and liabilities are equivalent because they are relatively short term in nature and there is no interest rate or credit risk that would cause the fair value to differ from the carrying value. Cash and due from banks is classified on the fair value hierarchy as Level 1. Overnight investments, income earned not collected, short-term borrowings and accrued interest payable are considered Level 2.

The table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values for financial instruments as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, there were no transfers between levels. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 of $59.7 million and $5.6 million of corporate bonds and other investment securities available for sale, respectively. The transfers were due to a lack of observable inputs and trade activity for those securities. There were no transfers between levels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Fair Value Option

BancShares has elected the fair value option for residential real estate loans originated to be sold. This election reduces certain timing differences in the Consolidated Statement of Income and better aligns with the management of the portfolio from a business perspective. The changes in fair value are recorded as a component of mortgage income and included gains of $700 thousand and $291 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the changes in fair value were gains of $245 thousand and $3.5 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for residential real estate originated for sale measured at fair value as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.



	June 30, 2018
(Dollars in thousands)	Fair Value		Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance		Difference
Originated loans held for sale	$	58,961	$	57,334	$	1,627

	December 31, 2017
	Fair Value		Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance		Difference
Originated loans held for sale	$	51,179	$	49,796	$	1,383

No originated loans held for sale were 90 or more days past due or on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

Certain other assets are adjusted to their fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including impaired loans, OREO, and goodwill, which are periodically tested for impairment, and mortgage servicing rights, which are carried at the lower of amortized cost or market. Non-impaired loans held for investment, deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term obligations are not reported at fair value.

Impaired loans are deemed to be at fair value if an associated allowance or current period charge-off has been recorded. The value of impaired loans is determined by either collateral valuations or discounted present value of the expected cash flow calculations. Collateral values are determined using appraisals or other third-party value estimates of the subject property with discounts generally between 6 and 11 percent applied for estimated holding and selling costs and other external factors that may impact the marketability of the property. Expected cash flows are determined using expected payment information at the individual loan level, discounted using the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate generally ranges between 2 and 18 percent.

OREO that has been acquired or written down in the current year is deemed to be at fair value, which uses asset valuations. Asset values are determined using appraisals or other third-party value estimates of the subject property with discounts generally between 6 and 11 percent applied for estimated holding and selling costs and other external factors that may impact the marketability of the property. Changes to the value of the assets between scheduled valuation dates are monitored through continued communication with brokers and monthly reviews by the asset manager assigned to each asset. If there are any significant changes in the market or the subject property, valuations are adjusted or new appraisals ordered to ensure the reported values reflect the most current information.

NOTE L - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

To meet the financing needs of its customers, BancShares and its subsidiaries have financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and recourse obligations on mortgage loans sold. These instruments involve elements of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk.

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. Established credit standards control the credit risk exposure associated with these commitments. In some cases, BancShares requires that collateral be pledged to secure the commitment, including cash deposits, securities and other assets.

Table of Contents

Standby letters of credit are commitments guaranteeing performance of a customer to a third party. Those commitments are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, and the fair value of those commitments is not material. To mitigate its risk, BancShares’ credit policies govern the issuance of standby letters of credit. The credit risk related to the issuance of these letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients and, therefore, these letters of credit are collateralized when necessary.

The following table presents the commitments to extend credit and unfunded commitments as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:



(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Unused commitments to extend credit	$	10,119,455	$	9,629,365
Standby letters of credit	87,574		81,530
Unfunded commitments for investments in affordable housing projects	77,622		61,819

Affordable housing project investments were $150.5 million and $128.0 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Pursuant to standard representations and warranties relating to residential mortgage loan sales sold on a non-recourse basis, contingent obligations exist for various events that may occur following the loan sale. If underwriting or documentation deficiencies are discovered at any point in the life of the loan or if the loan fails to perform per the terms of the loan purchase agreement, typically within 180 days from the date of sale, the investor may require BancShares to repurchase the loan or to repay a portion of the sale proceeds. Other liabilities included reserves of $830 thousand and $882 thousand as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, for estimated losses arising from these standard representation and warranty provisions.

BancShares and various subsidiaries have been named as defendants in legal actions arising from their normal business activities in which damages in various amounts are claimed. BancShares is also exposed to litigation risk relating to the prior business activities of banks from which assets were acquired and liabilities assumed in the various merger transactions. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of management, any such liability will not have a material effect on BancShares’ consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) of earnings and related financial data are presented to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (BancShares). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes presented within this report along with our financial statements and related MD&A of financial condition and results of operations included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Although certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to statement presentations for 2018, the reclassifications had no effect on shareholders’ equity or net income as previously reported. Unless otherwise noted, the terms “we,” “us” and “BancShares” refer to the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for BancShares.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

BancShares conducts its banking operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (FCB), a state-chartered bank organized under the laws of the state of North Carolina.

BancShares’ earnings and cash flows are primarily derived from our commercial and retail banking activities. We gather deposits from retail and commercial customers and also secure funding through various non-deposit sources. We invest the liquidity generated from these funding sources in interest-earning assets, including loans and leases, investment securities and overnight investments. We also invest in bank premises, hardware, software, furniture and equipment used to conduct our commercial and retail banking business. We provide treasury services products, cardholder and merchant services, wealth management services and various other products and services typically offered by commercial banks. The fees and service charges generated from these products and services are primary sources of noninterest income which is an essential component of our total revenue.

Interest rates have presented significant challenges to commercial banks' efforts to generate earnings and shareholder value. Our strategy continues to focus on maintaining an interest rate risk profile that will benefit net interest income in a rising rate environment. Management drives to this goal by focusing on core customer deposits and loans in the targeted interest rate risk profile. Additionally, our initiatives focus on growth of noninterest income sources, control of noninterest expenses, optimization of our branch network, and further enhancements to our technology and delivery channels. Refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for further discussion of our strategy.

Significant Events in 2018

On July 25, 2018, FCB and Palmetto Heritage Bancshares, Inc. (Palmetto) announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement. The agreement provides for the acquisition of Pawley's Island, SC-based Palmetto Heritage Bancshares by FCB. This acquisition is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2018.

On May 1, 2018, FCB completed the merger of Tampa, Florida-based HomeBancorp, Inc. (HomeBancorp) and its subsidiary, HomeBanc, into FCB.

RECENT ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

Various external factors influence the focus of our business efforts and the results of our operations can change significantly based on those external factors. Second quarter 2018 national economic results indicate solid labor market conditions and strong gains in employment, counterpoised by moderated growth rates in household spending and business capital spending. The national unemployment rate declined from 4.1 percent in March 2018 to 4.0 percent in June 2018. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. economy added approximately 632,000 new nonfarm payroll jobs during the second quarter of 2018. The U.S. housing market remains stable as a result of solid housing demand fueled by low mortgage interest rates, economic growth and job creation.

The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) indicated in the second quarter that the U.S. labor market continued to strengthen and economic activity has been rising at a solid rate. In view of realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation, the FOMC decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 1.75 to 2.0 percent. In determining the timing and size of future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rates, the FOMC will assess realized and expected economic conditions relative to its objectives of maximum employment and 2.0 percent inflation.

The trends in the banking industry are similar to those of the broader economy as shown in the latest national banking results from the first quarter of 2018. FDIC-insured institutions reported a 27.5 percent increase in net income compared to the first

Table of Contents

quarter of 2017 as a result of growth in net interest income, higher noninterest income and a lower effective tax rate due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act). Using the higher effective tax rate before the enactment of the Tax Act, estimated net income for the first quarter of 2018 would have increased 12.6 percent compared to the same period in 2017. These improvements to net income were partially offset by higher loan-loss provisions and increased noninterest expense. Banking industry average net interest margin was 3.32 percent in the first quarter of 2018, up from 3.19 percent in the first quarter of 2017. Total loans and leases increased by 4.9 percent over the past twelve months due to growth in commercial and industrial loans, residential mortgage loans, credit cards and nonfarm nonresidential loans.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

BancShares' consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $93.3 million, or $7.77 per share, compared to $100.2 million, or $8.35 per share, for the first quarter of 2018, and $134.7 million, or $11.21 per share, for the corresponding period of 2017. BancShares’ current quarter results generated an annualized return on average assets of 1.08 percent and an annualized return on average equity of 11.00 percent, compared to respective returns of 1.19 percent and 12.20 percent for the first quarter of 2018, and 1.58 percent and 17.10 percent for the second quarter of 2017. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2018 was 3.64 percent, compared to 3.57 percent for the first quarter of 2018 and 3.28 percent for the second quarter of the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net income was $193.5 million, or $16.11 per share, compared to $202.3 million, or $16.84 per share, reported for the same period of 2017. Annualized returns on average assets and average equity were 1.13 percent and 11.59 percent, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 1.20 percent and 13.11 percent, respectively, for the same period a year earlier. Year-to-date 2018 earnings included a pre-tax gain of $25.7 million resulting from the extinguishment of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) debt obligations as well as favorable impacts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act), which reduced the federal tax rate to 21.0 percent. Year-to-date 2017 earnings included pre-tax acquisition gains of $134.7 million recognized in connection with the FDIC-assisted transactions of Guaranty Bank (Guaranty) and Harvest Community Bank (HCB).

Key highlights in the second quarter of 2018 include:


•	Loans grew by $926.4 million to $24.54 billion, or by 15.7 percent on an annualized basis, from March 31, 2018, due to the HomeBancorp acquisition and originated portfolio growth.


•	Deposits increased $439.6 million to $30.41 billion, or by 5.9 percent on an annualized basis, from March 31, 2018, primarily due to the deposit balances acquired from HomeBancorp and organic growth in demand deposit and interest-bearing savings and checking account balances.


•	Net interest income increased $11.8 million, or by 4.1 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher non-purchased credit impaired (non-PCI) loan balances and yields, improved investment yields and a decline in interest expense.


•	The taxable-equivalent net interest margin increased 7 basis points to 3.64 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher loan yields and improved loan mix, improved investment yields and reductions of debt balances, offset by lower PCI interest income.


•	BancShares remained well capitalized with a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and common equity Tier 1 ratio of 13.06 percent, total risk-based capital ratio of 14.43 percent and leverage capital ratio of 9.99 percent at June 30, 2018.

FDIC-Assisted Transactions

BancShares completed eleven FDIC-assisted transactions during the period beginning in 2009 through 2017. Prior to its merger into BancShares in 2014, First Citizens Bancorporation, Inc. (Bancorporation) completed three FDIC-assisted transactions. These transactions provided us significant contributions to capital and earnings. Nine of the fourteen FDIC-assisted transactions (including the three completed by Bancorporation) included shared-loss agreements that, for their terms, protect us from a substantial portion of the credit and asset quality risk we would otherwise incur. As of June 30, 2018, shared-loss agreements are still active for Georgian Bank (GB) and United Western Bank (UWB). Shared-loss protection remains for single family residential loans acquired from UWB and GB in the amount of $62.1 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income and Margin

Second Quarter 2018

Compared to the first quarter of 2018, net interest income increased $11.8 million, or by 4.1 percent, to $296.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher non-PCI loan interest income of $12.8 million due to higher loan yields and balances, which were driven by the HomeBancorp acquisition and organic growth, particularly in the commercial mortgage as well as commercial and industrial loan portfolios. Net interest income also benefited from a $2.2 million increase in investment securities interest income resulting from higher investment yields driven by the reinvestment of lower yielding cash flows from maturities, paydowns and sales into higher yielding mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, there was a $506 thousand decrease in interest expense primarily a result of lower borrowings. These improvements were partially offset by a decrease in PCI loan interest income of $3.7 million, primarily resulting from PCI loan portfolio run-off.

Compared to the second quarter of 2017, net interest income increased $34.6 million, or by 13.2 percent. The increase was primarily due to a $31.6 million increase in non-PCI loan interest income resulting from originated loan growth and improved yields, as well as the contribution from the HomeBancorp acquisition. The largest contributors to the increase in originated loan growth were increases in commercial mortgage and commercial and industrial loans. Net interest income also benefited from a $6.8 million increase in investment securities interest income driven by improved yields as a result of the aforementioned purchase of mortgage-backed securities. Furthermore, there was a decline in interest expense of $3.3 million largely related to lower borrowings due to the extinguishment of debt. These positive impacts were partially offset by a decline in PCI loan interest income of $6.2 million as a result of continued PCI loan portfolio run-off as well as a $792 thousand decrease in interest income earned on overnight investments.

The taxable-equivalent net interest margin was 3.64 percent for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 7 basis points from the first quarter of 2018 and an increase of 36 basis points from the same quarter in the prior year. The margin improvement for both periods was primarily due to improved loan and investment yields. Yields were positively impacted by the federal funds 25 basis

point increase in each of March, June and December of 2017 with an additional 25 basis point increase in each of March and June of 2018 to end the period at 2.0 percent. Furthermore, the taxable-equivalent yields on our tax-exempt loans and securities were impacted by lower effective tax rates from the enactment of the Tax Act.

For the second quarter of 2018, average interest earning assets increased by $349.4 million since the first quarter of 2018 as a result of a $539.3 million increase in average loans outstanding, due to originated loan growth, mostly within the commercial loan segment, as well as loans acquired in the HomeBancorp acquisition, and a $38.4 million increase in average investment securities mainly driven by the purchase of higher yielding mortgage-backed securities. These increases were offset by a $228.3 million decrease in average overnight investments. The yield on interest-earning assets was 3.75 percent, an increase from 3.67 percent since the first quarter of 2018. Yields on our loans and leases increased by 2 basis points in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher yielding commercial loans and equity lines. Yields on our investment securities portfolio and overnight investments increased by 11 basis points and 22 basis points, respectively, in the second quarter of 2018. Higher yielding mortgage-backed securities was the primary driver to the yield increase in investment securities while the increase in the federal funds rate contributed to the yield increase in overnight investments.

For the second quarter of 2018, average interest earning assets increased by $565.1 million compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Average loans experienced a $1.63 billion increase primarily due to originated loan growth, particularly within the commercial loan segment, and contributions from the HomeBancorp acquisition. Offsetting this increase was a decrease in average overnight investments of $1.04 billion primarily related to the use of funds for the extinguishment of debt obligations in the first quarter of 2018. Additionally, there was a decrease in average investment securities of $20.8 million driven by a decline in average balances on U.S. Treasury securities, partially offset by an increase in average balances on government agency securities and corporate bonds. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 33 basis points from 3.42 percent since the second quarter of 2017. Yields on our loans and leases increased by 14 basis points in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher yielding commercial loans and equity lines. Yields on our investment securities portfolio and overnight investments increased by 39 basis points and 58 basis points, respectively, in the second quarter of 2018. Higher yielding mortgage-backed securities was the primary driver to the yield increase in investment securities while the increase in the federal funds rate contributed to the yield increase in overnight investments.

For the second quarter of 2018, average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $146.2 million since the first quarter of 2018, due to a $170.7 million decrease in average long-term obligations as a result of lower FHLB borrowings and a $113.5 million decrease in average short-term borrowings as a result of lower repurchase obligations and FHLB borrowings. These decreases were offset by a $137.9 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits resulting from organic growth and deposit balances acquired in the HomeBancorp acquisition. The rate on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.16 percent, a decrease from 0.17 percent since the first quarter of 2018. Rates on our interest bearing deposits increased by 2 basis points in the second quarter of 2018. Rates on long-term borrowings increased by 102 basis points while rates on our repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings decreased by 8 basis points and 6 basis points, respectively, in the second quarter of 2018. The increase in long-term borrowings was due to higher rates on remaining borrowings after the extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2018.

For the second quarter of 2018, average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $844.8 million compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in average long-term obligations of $565.9 million largely related to the extinguishment of FHLB debt in the first quarter of 2018. Also contributing to the decrease were declines in average short-term borrowings of $242.7 million and average interest-bearing deposits of $36.1 million. The decline in average short-term borrowings was primarily due to FHLB borrowing maturities of $85.0 million, the maturity of a $30.0 million repurchase agreement as well as the maturity of a $15.0 million subordinated notes payable and lower customer repurchase agreement balances. The decline in average interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to continued run-off in time deposits. The rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 6 basis points from 0.22 percent since the second quarter of 2017. Rates on our interest bearing deposits increased by 1 basis point in the second quarter of 2018. Rates on long-term borrowings and other short-term borrowings increased by 114 basis points and 94 basis points, respectively, while rates on repurchase agreements decreased by 1 basis point in the second quarter of 2018. The increase in borrowings was due to higher rates on remaining borrowings after the extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2018.

Year-to-date 2018

Net interest income for the first six months of 2018 was $580.7 million, an increase of $68.7 million, or 13.4 percent, compared to the same period of 2017. Loan interest income increased $50.7 million as a result of a $58.4 million increase in non-PCI loan interest income primarily due to originated loan growth, particularly in the commercial mortgage as well as commercial and industrial loan portfolios, and loans acquired in the HomeBancorp acquisition, offset by a $7.7 million decline in PCI loan interest income due to PCI loan portfolio run-off. Additionally, net interest income benefited from a $12.0 million improvement in investment securities interest income and reduced borrowing costs of $5.3 million.

Table of Contents

The taxable-equivalent net interest margin increased 34 basis points to 3.61 percent in the first six months of 2018, compared to the same period of 2017. The margin improvement was primarily due to higher loan yields and improved investment yields. Yields for the first six months of 2018 were impacted by the aforementioned incremental increases in the federal funds rate and Tax Act.

Average year-to-date interest earning assets increased by $792.0 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017, primarily due to a $1.67 billion increase in average outstanding loans due to originated loan growth, particularly within the commercial loan segment, and the impact of the HomeBancorp acquisition. This increase was offset by a decline in average overnight investments of $853.7 million primarily related to the use of funds for the extinguishment of FHLB debt obligations in the first quarter of 2018 and a decrease in average investment securities of $26.4 million. The yield on interest-earning assets for the first six months of 2018 was 3.70 percent, an increase from 3.40 percent for the same period of 2017. Yields on our loans and leases increased by 13 basis points in the first six months of 2018 primarily due to higher yielding commercial loans and equity lines. Yields on our investment securities portfolio and overnight investments increased by 36 basis points and 58 basis points, respectively. Higher yielding mortgage-backed securities was the primary driver to the yield increase in investment securities while the increase in the federal funds rate contributed to the yield increase in overnight investments.

Average year-to-date interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $741.8 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017, due to a decline of $489.8 million in average long-term obligations primarily related to the extinguishment of FHLB debt obligations totaling $675.0 million in the first quarter of 2018. Additionally, there were reclassifications of $15.0 million in FHLB borrowings from long-term obligations to short-term borrowings, partially offset by acquired subordinated debt of $21.6 million and FHLB borrowings of $18.8 million from HomeBancorp and increases in capital leases of $12.9 million. The decrease in average year-to-date interest-bearing liabilities was also impacted by decreases of $132.4 million in average short-term borrowings due to extinguishment of debt and $119.6 million in average interest-bearing deposits as time deposits continue to mature and are renewed at lower rates. The rate on interest-bearing liabilities for the first six months of 2018 was 0.17 percent, a decrease from 0.22 percent for the same period of 2017. Rates on our interest bearing deposits decreased by 1 basis point while repurchase agreements, other short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings increased by 6 basis point, 107 basis points and 57 basis points, respectively. The increase in borrowings was due to higher rates on remaining borrowings after the extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2018.

Noninterest income is an essential component of our total revenue and is critical to our ability to sustain adequate profitability levels. The primary sources of noninterest income traditionally consist of fees and service charges generated from cardholder services, merchant services, deposit accounts, wealth management services and mortgage lending and servicing. Other sources include gains on acquisitions, gains on the sale of investment securities and recoveries on PCI loans that have been previously

charged-off. Noninterest income for the period ended June 30, 2018 includes a full six months impact from the Guaranty Bank acquisition compared to two months of activity for the period ending June 30, 2017.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2018 was $100.9 million, compared to $122.7 million for the first quarter of 2018, a decrease of $21.8 million, or by 17.73%. The most significant components of the change were as follows:


•	Gain on extinguishment of $675.0 million of FHLB obligations totaled $25.7 million in the first quarter of 2018.


•	Marketable equity securities gains, net increased by $3.5 million primarily due to favorable market movements on equity stock positions held in the second quarter.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2018 was $100.9 million, compared to $217.6 million for the same period of 2017. Excluding acquisition gains of $122.7 million on the Guaranty acquisition in the second quarter of 2017, total noninterest income increased $6.0 million, or by 6.34%. The increase was primarily attributable to the following drivers:


•	Marketable equity securities gains, net was $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2018 due to the implementation of ASU 2016-01 requiring unrealized gains and losses on equity securities to be recorded through the income statement.


•	Wealth management fees increased by $3.6 million primarily due to higher annuity sales volume and higher trust income driven by growth in assets under management.


•	Reduction in security gains, net of $3.3 million primarily due to gains on the sale of mortgage-backed securities in 2017.

Noninterest income was $223.6 million for the first six months of 2018, compared to $317.3 million for the same period of 2017, a decrease of $93.7 million, or by 29.52%. Excluding acquisition gains of $134.7 million on the Harvest Community Bank and Guaranty Bank acquisitions in the first six months of 2017, total noninterest income increased $41.1 million, or by 22.50%. The increase was primarily attributable to the following drivers:


•	Gain on extinguishment of FHLB obligations totaled $25.7 million.


•	Wealth management fees increased by $6.2 million primarily due to higher annuity sales volume and higher trust income driven by growth in assets under management.


•	Marketable equity securities gains, net was $5.4 million in 2018 due to the implementation of ASU 2016-01 requiring unrealized gains and losses on equity securities to be recorded through the income statement.


•	Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $4.5 million primarily due to the Guaranty Bank acquisition and an increase in the volume of overdraft transactions.


•	Mortgage income decreased by $3.6 million resulting from lower hedge income primarily due to higher interest rates as well as a reduction in gains on sales driven by mortgage sales in 2017.

Noninterest expense for the period ended June 30, 2018 includes a full six months impact from the Guaranty Bank acquisition compared to two months of activity for the period ending June 30, 2017.

Noninterest expense was $266.0 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $268.1 million for the first quarter of 2018, a decrease of $2.1 million, or by 0.77%. The change was attributable to the following drivers:


•	Personnel expenses decreased by $1.7 million primarily driven by employee benefits of $2.4 million due to declines in payroll and unemployment taxes, offset by an increase in salary and wage expenses of $638 thousand.


•	Occupancy expense decreased by $1.9 million largely due to decreases in building repairs, landscaping, and utilities.


•	Merger-related expenses increased by $1.8 million due to the HomeBancorp acquisition.

Noninterest expense was $266.0 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $255.0 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $10.9 million, or by 4.29%. The change was attributable to the following drivers:


•	Personnel expenses increased by $12.3 million largely due to higher headcount, which includes the effects of the Guaranty and HomeBancorp acquisitions, merit and incentive increases and higher benefit costs.


•	Processing fees paid to third parties increased by $2.5 million primarily due to core bank processing fees related to Guaranty Bank and growth in the bill pay service provided to customers.


•	Merger-related expenses decreased by $4.4 million primarily due to expenses in the second quarter of 2017 related to the Guaranty Bank acquisition exceeding the expenses in the second quarter of 2018 related to the HomeBancorp acquisition.

Noninterest expense was $534.1 million for the first six months of 2018, compared to $491.7 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $42.3 million, or by 8.60%. The increase was primarily attributable to the following drivers:


•	Personnel expense increased $30.1 million primarily due to higher wages and benefits from the Guaranty acquisition, increased headcount, which includes the effect of the HomeBancorp acquisition, merit and incentive increases and higher benefit costs.


•	Processing fees paid to third parties increased by $6.3 million primarily due to core bank processing fees related to Guaranty Bank and an increase in bill pay services used by bank customers.


•	Other expense increased by $5.5 million, primarily resulting from higher legal costs, operational loss increases and a $1.5 million reversal of a repurchase reserve on a Small Business Administration guaranteed loan recorded in 2017.

Table of Contents


•	Occupancy expense increased by $3.2 million primarily due to higher building maintenance and new expenses related to the Guaranty acquisition and increased landscaping costs.


•	Merger-related expenses decreased by $4.7 million primarily due to higher merger expenses related to the Guaranty acquisition during 2017 in comparison to the HomeBancorp acquisition.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $29.4 million, $31.2 million and $77.2 million for the second quarter of 2018, first quarter of 2018 and second quarter of 2017, representing effective tax rates of 24.0 percent, 23.8 percent and 36.4 percent during the respective periods. Income tax expense was $60.6 million and $114.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 23.9 percent and 36.2 percent for the respective six month periods. The income tax expense and effective tax rate decreases during the reported periods in 2018 compared to those in 2017 were primarily due to the impact of the Tax Act, which reduced the federal tax rate from 34.0 percent to 21.0 percent.

We monitor and evaluate the potential impact of current events on the estimates used to establish income tax expenses and income tax liabilities. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our income tax positions based on current tax law, positions taken by various tax auditors within the jurisdictions where BancShares is required to file income tax returns, as well as potential or pending audits or assessments by tax auditors.

INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS

Interest-earning assets include loans and leases, investment securities, and overnight investments, all of which reflect varying interest rates based on the risk level and repricing characteristics of the underlying asset. Riskier investments typically carry a higher interest rate but expose us to higher levels of market risk.

Interest-earning assets averaged $32.67 billion and $32.87 billion for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The $204.4 million decrease from December 31, 2017 was composed of an $1.10 billion decline in overnight investments primarily related to the use of funds for the extinguishment of FHLB debt obligations totaling $675.0 million during the first quarter of 2018, offset by a $845.1 million increase in loans and leases as a result of originated loan growth and the acquisition of HomeBanc, and a $46.9 million increase in investment securities.

Investment Securities

The primary objective of the investment portfolio is to generate incremental income by deploying excess funds into securities that have minimal liquidity and credit risk and low to moderate interest rate risk. Other objectives include acting as a stable source of liquidity, serving as a tool for asset and liability management and maintaining an interest rate risk profile compatible with BancShares' objectives. Additionally, purchases of equities and corporate bonds in other financial institutions have been made largely under a long-term earnings optimization strategy. Changes in the total balance of our investment securities portfolio result from trends in balance sheet funding and market performance. Generally, when inflows arising from deposit and treasury services products exceed loan and lease demand, we invest excess funds into the securities portfolio or into overnight investments. Conversely, when loan demand exceeds growth in deposits and short-term borrowings, we allow any overnight investments to decline and use proceeds from maturing securities and prepayments to fund loan demand.

With the adoption of Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, in the first quarter of 2018, marketable equity investments are no long classified as investments available for sale and the fair value changes in those investments is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. At adoption, we recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet resulting in an $18.7 million increase to retained earnings and a decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) on January 1, 2018.

The fair value of total investment securities was $7.19 billion at June 30, 2018, an increase of $12.6 million, when compared to $7.18 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase in the portfolio from December 31, 2017 was primarily attributable to deploying excess cash into the portfolio to take advantage of higher rates as well as the retention of a portion of HomeBancorp's investment portfolio, partially offset by a rise in unrealized losses on the available for sale portfolio. Investment securities increased $596.3 million from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018 primarily due to reinvesting proceeds from sales, maturities and pay downs of securities back into the investment portfolio and the retention of a portion of HomeBancorp's investment portfolio.

On May 1, 2018, mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $2.49 billion were transferred from investments available for sale (AFS) to the held to maturity (HTM) portfolio. At the time of transfer, the mortgage-backed securities had a fair value of $2.38 billion and a weighted average maturity of 13 years. The unrealized loss on these securities at the date of transfer was $109.1 million and continues to be reported as a component of AOCI. This unrealized loss will be amortized out of AOCI into the

Table of Contents

consolidated statements of income over the remaining expected life of the securities offset by the amortization of the corresponding discount on the transferred securities. FCB has the intent and ability to retain these securities until maturity.

As of June 30, 2018, investment securities available for sale had a net pre-tax unrealized loss of $74.7 million, compared to a net pre-tax unrealized loss of $48.8 million as of December 31, 2017 and a net pre-tax unrealized loss of $26.2 million as of June 30, 2017. Available for sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of AOCI, net of deferred taxes. The fair value of equity securities was $107.3 million at June 30, 2018. After evaluating the AFS securities with unrealized losses, management concluded that no other than temporary impairment existed as of June 30, 2018.

There were no gains or losses on the sale of investment securities available for sale for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 compared to a net gain of $3.4 million on sales of securities for the three months ended June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 we recognized no gains or losses on the sale of investment securities compared to a net gain of $3.3 million for the corresponding period of 2017. The net marketable equity securities gains was $4.4 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended months ended June 30, 2018 and is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

At June 30, 2018, mortgage-backed securities represented 74.2 percent of total investment securities, compared to U.S. Treasury, government agency securities, corporate bonds, other investments and marketable equity securities, which represented 20.9 percent, 1.8 percent, 1.5 percent, 0.1 percent and 1.5 percent of the total investment securities, respectively. Overnight investments are with the Federal Reserve Bank and other financial institutions.

Excluding the June 30, 2018 fair market value of the mortgage-backed securities transferred to HTM of $2.30 billion, the carrying value of mortgage-backed securities AFS decreased $4.6 million primarily due to rising market rates that have negatively impacted mortgage-backed securities valuations. U.S. Treasury securities decreased $153.9 million primarily due to maturities with only a portion of the proceeds reinvested back into U.S. Treasury securities. Government agency securities increased $122.4 million due to new purchases during 2018 and the retention of certain investments from HomeBancorp's investment portfolio. Corporate bonds increased $48.8 million primarily due to bonds retained from HomeBancorp's investment portfolio coupled with new purchases in 2018. Equity securities, comprised of investments in other financial institutions, increased $2.1 million since December 31, 2017 primarily due to higher market prices at June 30, 2018.

Loans and Leases

Loans and leases were $24.54 billion at June 30, 2018, a net increase of $941.6 million compared to December 31, 2017, representing growth of 8.0 percent on an annualized basis. This increase was primarily driven by $543.4 million in non-PCI loans acquired in the HomeBancorp acquisition and $486.9 million of organic growth in the non-PCI portfolio. The PCI portfolio decreased over this period by $88.7 million due to PCI loan portfolio run-off of $104.2 million, offset by net PCI loans acquired from HomeBancorp of $15.5 million.

Non-PCI loans increased by $1.89 billion, compared to June 30, 2017, due to originated loan growth and loans acquired in the HomeBancorp transaction. PCI loans decreased $220.6 million from June 30, 2017 due to continued pay downs in the PCI loan portfolio, offset by the contributions from the HomeBancorp acquisition.

Table of Contents

BancShares reports non-PCI and PCI loan portfolios separately and each portfolio is further divided into commercial and non-commercial. Additionally, loans are assigned to loan classes, which further disaggregate loans based upon common risk characteristics, such as commercial real estate, commercial and industrial or residential mortgage. Table 9 provides the composition of non-PCI and PCI loans and leases.

Non-PCI Loans and Leases

The non-PCI portfolio includes loans that management has the intent and ability to hold and is reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs. It consists of originated loans and purchased non-credit impaired loans and leases that do not have evidence of credit deterioration at acquisition. Purchased non-impaired loans are initially recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition.

Non-PCI loans and leases at June 30, 2018 were $23.86 billion, representing 97.3 percent of total loans and leases, compared to $22.83 billion and $21.98 billion at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

The non-PCI commercial loan portfolio is composed of Commercial Mortgage, Commercial and Industrial, Construction and Land Development, Lease Financing, Other Commercial Real Estate and Other Commercial loans. Non-PCI commercial loans were $15.47 billion at June 30, 2018, an increase of $675.7 million and $1.18 billion compared to December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily resulting from originated loan growth and the HomeBancorp acquisition which contributed $253.7 million at June 30, 2018.

The non-PCI noncommercial loan portfolio is composed of Residential Mortgage, Revolving Mortgage, Consumer and Construction and Land Development loans. Non-PCI noncommercial loans were $8.39 billion at June 30, 2018, an increase of $354.7 million and $711.7 million compared to December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, primarily resulting from originated loan growth and the HomeBancorp acquisition which contributed $289.7 million at June 30, 2018.

PCI Loans

The PCI portfolio includes loans acquired in a transfer, including business combinations, where there is evidence of credit deterioration since origination and that it is probable at the date of acquisition all contractually required principal and interest payments will not be collected. All nonrevolving loans are evaluated at acquisition and where a discount is required at least in part due to credit quality, the loans are accounted for under the guidance in ASC Topic 310-30. PCI loans are valued at fair value at the date of acquisition.

PCI loans at June 30, 2018 were $674.3 million, representing 2.7 percent of total loans and leases, compared to $763.0 million and $894.9 million at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

PCI commercial loans were $336.1 million at June 30, 2018, a decrease of $57.3 million since December 31, 2017 and a decrease of $140.9 million since June 30, 2017, due to continued loan run-off, offset by $8.2 million of PCI commercial loans acquired from HomeBancorp. At June 30, 2018, PCI noncommercial loans were $338.2 million, a decrease of $31.4 million since December 31, 2017 and a decrease of $79.6 million since June 30, 2017, reflecting continued loan run-off, offset by $7.3 million from the HomeBancorp acquisition.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL)

The ALLL was $224.9 million at June 30, 2018, representing an increase of $3.0 million since December 31, 2017 and a decrease of $3.9 million since June 30, 2017. The ALLL as a percentage of total loans and leases was 0.92 percent at June 30, 2018, compared to 0.94 percent and 1.00 percent at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

At June 30, 2018, the ALLL allocated to total non-PCI loans and leases was $212.4 million, or 0.89 percent of non-PCI loans and leases, compared to $211.9 million, or 0.93 percent, at December 31, 2017 and $215.3 million, or 0.98 percent, at June 30, 2017. The ALLL for total non-PCI loans and leases increased from December 31, 2017 primarily due to loan growth, offset by credit quality improvements. The ALLL for total non-PCI loans and leases decreased from June 30, 2017 primarily due to lower loan growth within the commercial construction and land development portfolio and credit quality improvements.

Originated non-PCI loans were $21.95 billion, $21.13 billion and $19.80 billion at June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, and do not include purchased revolving, purchased non-PCI loans or PCI loans. At June 30, 2018, the ALLL allocated to originated non-PCI loans and leases was $211.7 million, or 0.96 percent of originated non-PCI loans and leases, compared to $211.3 million, or 1.00 percent, at December 31, 2017 and $214.5 million, or 1.08 percent, at June 30, 2017.

The remaining ALLL of $12.4 million relates to PCI loans at June 30, 2018, compared to $10.0 million and $13.5 million at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The increase from December 31, 2017 was primarily due to updated cash flow estimates and the decrease from June 30, 2017 was largely due to continued PCI loan portfolio run-off.

BancShares recorded a net provision expense of $8.4 million for loan and lease losses for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2018 and $12.3 million for the second quarter of 2017. The $833 thousand increase in net provision expense compared to the first quarter of 2018 was largely driven by an increase in the non-PCI provision as a result of loan growth, partially offset by a decrease in the PCI provision. The $3.9 million decline in net provision expense from the second quarter of 2017 was primarily due to decreases in the PCI and non-PCI provisions. The decrease in the non-PCI provision was a result of lower loan growth in the current quarter and lower calculated reserves on individually impaired loans, partially offset by fewer credit quality improvements in the current quarter.

Net provision expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $16.0 million compared to $20.6 million for the same period of 2017. The decrease in provision expense was primarily due to favorable loan growth mix and credit quality improvements, offset by an increase in net charge-offs and an increase in the PCI provision.

On an annualized basis, total net charge-offs as a percentage of total average loans and leases for the second quarter and first quarter of 2018 was 0.11 percent compared to 0.08 percent in the second quarter of 2017. Net charge-offs for non-PCI loans and

Table of Contents

leases were $6.7 million during the second quarter of 2018, compared to $6.3 million and $4.5 million during the first quarter of 2018 and second quarter of 2017, respectively.

The discount related to acquired non-PCI loans and leases at June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 was $35.8 million, $35.0 million and $42.9 million, respectively. The discount related to PCI loans at June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 was $103.0 million, $111.3 million and $129.8 million, respectively.

Management considers the ALLL adequate to absorb estimated inherent losses that relate to loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2018, although future adjustments may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the ALLL as part of their exam process which could result in adjustments to the ALLL based on information available to them at the time of their examination.

Second Quarter 2018 to First Quarter 2018

Provision expense for non-PCI commercial loans was $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $243 thousand for the first quarter of 2018. This increase of $1.6 million was primarily due to an increase in commercial and industrial loan balances, offset by the release of the construction and land development provision due to loan movement into other commercial real estate.

Table of Contents

Provision expense for non-PCI noncommercial loans was $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2018. This increase of $1.4 million was primarily due to loan growth, particularly within the residential mortgage loan portfolio.

Second Quarter 2018 to Second Quarter 2017

Provision expense in the second quarter of 2018 for non-PCI commercial loans was $1.9 million, down $2.1 million from $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2017 resulting from a decrease in the provision for construction and land development as loan balances were moved to other commercial real estate, offset by loan growth and updated loan loss factors.

Provision expense in the second quarter of 2018 for non-PCI noncommercial loans was $6.4 million, an increase of $637 thousand from $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to loan growth, particularly within the residential mortgage loan portfolio, and updated loan loss factors.

Year-to-date 2018

Provision expense for non-PCI commercial loans was $2.1 million in the first six months of 2018, compared to $11.5 million in the same period of 2017. This decrease was primarily due to credit quality improvements and updated loan loss factors in the current year compared to the prior year.

Provision expense for non-PCI noncommercial loans was $11.4 million in the first six months of 2018, compared to $9.4 million in the same period of 2017. This increase was primarily due to loan growth, particularly within the residential mortgage loan portfolio, and updated loan loss factors.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and leases and OREO resulting from both non-PCI and PCI loans. At June 30, 2018, BancShares’ nonperforming assets were $133.3 million, down from $144.3 million and $150.2 million at December 31, 2017 at June 30, 2017, respectively.

Nonaccrual non-PCI loans and leases at June 30, 2018 were $85.1 million reflecting decreases of $7.5 million and $3.0 million since December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The declines in both periods were primarily due to commercial and residential mortgage loans returning to accrual status and payoffs, offset by an increase in revolving mortgage loans that went on nonaccrual status during these periods. Nonaccrual PCI loans at June 30, 2018 were up $946 thousand and $258 thousand from December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. At June 30, 2018, OREO totaled $46.6 million, representing declines of $4.5 million and $14.1 million since December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, as sales and write-downs outpaced additions.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)

We have selectively agreed to modify existing loan terms to provide relief to customers who are experiencing financial difficulties or other circumstances that could affect their ability to meet debt obligations. Typical modifications include short-term deferral of interest or modification of payment terms. Nonperforming TDRs that are not accruing interest are included as nonperforming assets within nonaccrual loans and leases. TDRs that are accruing at the time of restructure and continue to perform based on the restructured terms are considered performing. Loans acquired under ASC 310-30, excluding pooled loans, are not initially considered to be TDRs, but can be classified as such if a modification is made subsequent to acquisition. Subsequent modification of a PCI loan accounted for in a pool that would otherwise meet the definition of a TDR is not reported, or accounted for, as a TDR since pooled PCI loans are excluded from the scope of TDR accounting.

INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term obligations. Interest-bearing liabilities were $19.08 billion and $19.59 billion at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The $510.4 million decline from December 31, 2017 was due to decreases in long-term obligations and short-term borrowings of $628.9 million and $79.8 million, respectively, offset by an increase in interest-bearing deposits of $198.3 million. Interest-bearing liabilities were $19.08 billion at June 30, 2018, a decrease of $862.7 million from $19.95 billion at June 30, 2017 due to a $638.6 million decrease in long-term obligations, a $170.5 million decrease in short-term borrowings and a decrease of $53.6 million in interest-bearing deposits.

Table of Contents

Deposits

At June 30, 2018, total deposits were $30.41 billion, an increase of $1.14 billion, or 3.9 percent, compared to December 31, 2017 and an increase of $952.5 million, or 3.2 percent, when compared to June 30, 2017. The increase from both periods was primarily the result of organic growth in demand deposit and interest-bearing savings and checking account balances as well as the deposit balances acquired from the HomeBancorp acquisition of $582.2 million at June 30, 2018. These positive drivers were offset by run-off in time deposits and lower money market account balances.

Due to our focus on maintaining a strong liquidity position, core deposit retention remains a key business objective. We believe that traditional bank deposit products remain an attractive option for many customers but, as economic conditions improve, we recognize that our liquidity position could be adversely affected as bank deposits are withdrawn and invested elsewhere. Our ability to fund future loan growth is significantly dependent on our success at retaining existing deposits and generating new deposits at a reasonable cost.

Short-Term Borrowings

At June 30, 2018, short-term borrowings were $614.0 million compared to $693.8 million and $784.5 million at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The $79.8 million decrease from December 31, 2017 was due to FHLB borrowing maturities of $75.0 million, the maturity of a $30.0 million repurchase agreement as well as the maturity of a $15.0 million subordinated notes payable and lower customer repurchase agreement balances. These declines were offset by additional federal funds purchased of $72.4 million and FHLB borrowings of $24.5 million. The $170.5 million decrease from June 30, 2017 was due to FHLB borrowing maturities of $85.0 million, the maturity of a $30.0 million repurchase agreement as well as the maturity of a $15.0 million subordinated notes payable and lower customer repurchase agreement balances. These declines were offset by additional federal funds purchased of $72.4 million, an increase in FHLB borrowings of $24.5 million and reclassifications of $15.0 million in FHLB borrowings from long-term obligations.

Long-Term Obligations

Long-term obligations were $241.4 million at June 30, 2018, down $628.9 million from December 31, 2017 primarily due to the extinguishment of FHLB debt obligations totaling $675.0 million and a redemption of $2.0 million aggregate principal amount of Trust Preferred Securities issued by FCB/NC Capital Trust III. These decreases were partially offset by additional subordinated debt of $21.6 million and FHLB borrowings of $18.8 million acquired from HomeBancorp as well as capital leases of $8.2 million. Long-term obligations decreased $638.6 million from June 30, 2017 primarily due to the extinguishment of FHLB debt obligations totaling $675.0 million, reclassification of $15.0 million in FHLB borrowings from long-term obligations to short-term borrowings, as well as a redemption of $2.0 million aggregate principal amount of Trust Preferred Securities issued by FCB/NC Capital Trust III. These decreases were partially offset by additional subordinated debt of $21.6 million acquired from HomeBancorp, FHLB borrowings of $18.8 million and capital leases of $12.9 million.

BancShares owns three special purpose entities – FCB/NC Capital Trust III, FCB/SC Capital Trust II and SCB Capital Trust I (the Trusts). Long-term obligations included junior subordinated debentures representing obligations to the Trusts, which may be redeemed at par in whole or in part at any time. BancShares has guaranteed all obligations of the Trusts. BancShares had the following issues of trust preferred securities and subordinated debentures owed to the Trusts:

Shareholders' Equity and Capital Adequacy

BancShares and FCB are required to meet minimum capital requirements set forth by regulatory authorities. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements may result in certain actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), the unrealized gains and losses on certain assets and liabilities, net of deferred taxes, are included in AOCI within shareholders' equity. These amounts are excluded from shareholders' equity in the calculation of our capital ratios under current regulatory guidelines. Shareholders' equity was also impacted by first quarter 2018 cumulative effect adjustments of $50.0 million related to both the adoption of ASU 2016-01 for the accounting of equity investments which had an impact of $18.7 million and ASU 2018-02 for the accounting of stranded tax effects in AOCI resulting from the 2017 Tax Act which had an impact of $31.3 million.

In the aggregate, the unrealized gains and losses and cumulative effect adjustments represented a net reduction in shareholders' equity of $244.6 million at June 30, 2018, compared to a net reduction of $122.3 million at December 31, 2017 and $102.8 million at June 30, 2017. The decrease in AOCI of $122.3 million from December 31, 2017 and $141.8 million from June 30, 2017 were primarily driven by the cumulative effect adjustments recorded in the first quarter of 2018 and an increase in unrealized losses on investment securities as a result of lower market interest rates. During the current quarter, mortgage-backed securities were transferred from investments available for sale to the held to maturity portfolio. The unrealized loss on these securities at the date of transfer was $109.5 million and will be amortized out of AOCI into the consolidated statements of income over the expected remaining life of the securities. The decrease from June 30, 2017 was also attributed by the decline in the discount rate used in our defined benefit pension plans.

Bank regulatory agencies approved regulatory capital guidelines (Basel III) aimed at strengthening existing capital requirements for banking organizations. The final rules set minimum requirements for both the quantity and quality of capital held by BancShares and FCB and included a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio. A capital conservation buffer was also established

Table of Contents

and was phased in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625 percent above minimum risk-based capital requirements and will increase each subsequent year by an additional 0.625 percent until reaching its final level of 2.50 percent on January 1, 2019. As such, the capital conservation buffer requirement was 1.88% percent effective January 1, 2018. BancShares and FCB had capital conservation buffers above minimum risk-based capital requirements of 6.43 percent and 5.68 percent, respectively, at June 30, 2018. The buffers exceeded the 1.88% percent requirement and, therefore, resulted in no limit on distributions.

As of June 30, 2018, BancShares and FCB continued to exceed minimum capital standards and remained well-capitalized under Basel III guidelines. BancShares had no trust preferred capital securities included in Tier 1 capital at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 under Basel III guidelines. Trust preferred capital securities continue to be a component of total risk-based capital.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk is inherent in any business. Senior management has primary responsibility for day-to-day management of the risks we face with accountability of and support from all company associates. The Board of Directors strives to ensure that the business culture is integrated with the risk management program and that policies and procedures for identifying, assessing, measuring, monitoring, and managing risk are part of the decision-making process. The Board of Director’s role in risk oversight is an integral part of our overall Enterprise Risk Management Framework. The Board of Directors administers its risk oversight function primarily through the Board Risk Committee.

The Board Risk Committee structure is designed to allow for information flow and timely escalation of risk related issues. The Board Risk Committee is directed to monitor and advise the Board of Directors regarding risk exposures, including credit, market, capital, liquidity, operational, compliance, strategic, legal, and reputational risks; review, approve and monitor adherence to the risk appetite and supporting risk tolerance levels; and evaluate, monitor and oversee the adequacy and effectiveness of the Enterprise Risk Management Framework. The Board Risk Committee also reviews reports of examination by and communications from regulatory agencies; the results of internal and third party testing and assessments related to risk management; and any other matters within the scope of the Committee’s oversight responsibilities. The Board Risk Committee monitors management's response to certain risk related regulatory or audit issues. In addition, the Board Risk Committee may coordinate with the Audit Committee for the review of financial statements and related risks, information security and other areas of joint responsibility.

In combination with other risk management and monitoring practices, enterprise wide stress testing activities are part of our risk management program. Stress tests are performed for various risks to ensure the financial institution can support continued operations during stressed periods.

Enactment of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act in May 2018 significantly altered several provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, including how stress tests are run. Bank holding companies with assets of less than $100 billion, such as BancShares, are no longer be subject to company-run stress testing requirements in section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act, including publishing a summary of results. BancShares will continue to monitor and stress test its capital consistent with the safety and soundness expectations of the federal regulators, however, BancShares will no longer conduct company-run stress testing under the Dodd-Frank Act.

Credit risk management. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting payments pursuant to the contractual terms of loans, leases and certain investment securities. Loans and leases, other than acquired loans, are underwritten in accordance with our credit policies and procedures and are subject to periodic ongoing reviews. Acquired loans, regardless of whether PCI or non-PCI, are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date and are subject to periodic reviews to identify any further credit deterioration. Our independent credit review function conducts risk reviews and analyses of both acquired and originated loans to ensure compliance with credit policies and to monitor asset quality trends and borrower financial strength. The risk reviews include portfolio analysis by geographic location, industry, collateral type and product. We strive to identify potential problem loans as early as possible, to record charge-offs or write-downs as appropriate and to maintain an adequate ALLL that accounts for losses that are inherent in the loan and lease portfolio.

Interest rate risk management. Interest rate risk (IRR) results principally from assets and liabilities maturing or repricing at different points in time, from assets and liabilities repricing at the same point in time but in different amounts, and from short-term and long-term interest rates changing in different magnitudes.

We assess our short-term IRR by forecasting net interest income over 24 months under various interest rate scenarios and comparing those results to forecast net interest income assuming stable rates. Rate shock scenarios represent an instantaneous and parallel shift in rates, up or down, from a base yield curve. Despite the current increase in market interest rates, the overall rate on interest-bearing deposits remains relatively low and as such, it is unlikely that the rates on most interest-bearing deposits can decline materially from current levels. Our shock projections incorporate assumptions of likely customer migration from low rate deposit instruments to intermediate term fixed rate instruments, such as certificates of deposit, as rates rise. Various other IRR scenarios

are modeled to supplement shock scenarios. This may include interest rate ramps, changes in the shape of the yield curve and changes in the relationships of FCB rates to market rates.

Net Interest Income Sensitivity Simulation Analysis

This table provides the impact on net interest income over 24 months resulting from various instantaneous interest rate shock scenarios as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.



	Estimated percentage increase (decrease) in net interest income
Change in interest rate (basis points)	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
-100	(10.45	)%	(12.25	)%
+100	3.13		3.66
+200	3.56		4.61
+300	1.06		2.43

Net interest income sensitivity metrics at June 30, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017 were primarily affected by a shift in the earning asset mix with a decrease in overnight investments and growth in the fixed rate loan portfolio, partially offset by a favorable change in the deposit mix from growth in non-interest bearing deposits.

Table 18

Economic Value of Equity Modeling Analysis

Long-term interest rate risk exposure is measured using the economic value of equity (EVE) sensitivity analysis to study the impact of long-term cash flows on earnings and capital. EVE represents the difference between the sum of the present value of all asset cash flows and the sum of the present value of the liability cash flows. EVE sensitivity analysis involves discounting cash flows of balance sheet items under different interest rate scenarios. Cash flows will vary by interest rate scenario, resulting in variations in EVE. The base-case measurement and its sensitivity to shifts in the yield curve allow management to measure longer-term repricing and option risk in the balance sheet. This table presents the EVE profile as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.



	Estimated percentage increase (decrease) in EVE
Change in interest rate (basis points)	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
-100	(15.10	)%	(15.44	)%
+100	3.36		3.38
+200	1.06		1.06
+300	(5.22	)	(5.52	)

The economic value of equity metrics at June 30, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017 remained relatively stable with increases in the scenarios due primarily to a change in decay assumptions used for non-maturity deposits beginning in the second quarter of 2018 being offset by the prepayment of eight FHLB debt obligations totaling $675.0 million in the first quarter of 2018.

We do not typically utilize interest rate swaps, floors, collars or other derivative financial instruments to attempt to hedge our overall balance sheet rate sensitivity and interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk management. Liquidity risk is the risk that an institution is unable to generate or obtain sufficient cash or its equivalents on a cost-effective basis to meet commitments as they fall due. The most common sources of liquidity risk arise from mismatches in the timing and value of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet cash inflows and outflows. In general, on-balance sheet mismatches generate liquidity risk when the effective maturity of assets exceeds the effective maturity of liabilities. A commonly cited example of a balance sheet liquidity mismatch is when long-term loans (assets) are funded with short-term borrowings (liabilities). Other forms of liquidity risk include market constraints on the ability to convert assets into cash at expected levels, an inability to access funding sources at sufficient levels at a reasonable cost, and changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operational, legal and reputation risks that can affect an institution’s liquidity risk profile.

We utilize various limit-based measures to monitor, measure and control liquidity risk across three different types of liquidity:


•	Tactical liquidity measures the risk of a negative cash flow position whereby cash outflows exceed cash inflows over a short-term horizon out to nine weeks;


•	Structural liquidity measures the amount by which illiquid assets are supported by long-term funding; and


•	Contingent liquidity utilizes cash flow stress testing across three crisis scenarios to determine the adequacy of our liquidity.

Table of Contents

We aim to maintain a diverse mix of liquidity sources to support the liquidity management function, while aiming to avoid funding concentrations by diversifying our external funding with respect to maturities, counterparties and nature. Our primary source of liquidity is our retail deposit book due to the generally stable balances and low cost it offers. Additional sources include cash in excess of our reserve requirement at the Federal Reserve Bank, and various other corresponding bank accounts and unencumbered securities, which totaled $4.21 billion at June 30, 2018 compared to $3.70 billion at December 31, 2017. Another source of available funds is advances from the FHLB of Atlanta. Outstanding FHLB advances were $128.7 million as of June 30, 2018, and we had sufficient collateral pledged to secure $6.09 billion of additional borrowings. Also, at June 30, 2018, $2.88 billion in noncovered loans with a lendable collateral value of $2.17 billion were used to create additional borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank. We also maintain Federal Funds lines which had $615.0 million of available capacity at June 30, 2018.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no significant changes in our Critical Accounting Policies as described in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the potential economic loss resulting from changes in market prices and interest rates. This risk can either result in diminished current fair values of financial instruments or reduced net interest income in future periods. As of June 30, 2018, BancShares’ market risk profile has not changed significantly from December 31, 2017, as discussed in the Form 10-K. Changes in fair value that result from movement in market rates cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. Therefore, the impact that future changes in market rates will have on the fair values of financial instruments is uncertain.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

BancShares' management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of BancShares' disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, in accordance with Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that BancShares' disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that it is able to record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner the information required to be disclosed in the reports it files under the Exchange Act.
