CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward-looking statements in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying Exhibits, filings incorporated by reference, reports to shareholders, and other communications that represent the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, estimates, and intentions are made in good faith pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements:

	●	the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the negative impacts and disruptions on the communities the Company serves, and the domestic and global economy, which may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business;
	●	the strength of the U.S. economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations;
	●	the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve System;
	●	inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
	●	timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers;
	●	the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services and vice versa;
	●	the impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations, including laws about taxes, banking, securities, and insurance, and the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act;
	●	the impact of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and federal banking regulators’ continued implementation of programs to address capital and liquidity in the banking system;
	●	further, future, and proposed rules, including those that are part of the process outlined in the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s “Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems,” which require banking institutions to increase levels of capital;
	●	technological changes;
	●	the effect of acquisitions, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions;
	●	the growth and profitability of noninterest, or fee, income being less than expected;
	●	unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings;
	●	changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and
	●	the Company’s success at managing the risks mentioned above.

This list of important factors is not exclusive. If one or more of the factors affecting these forward-looking statements proves incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, the Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information and statements. Further, statements about the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may contain forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control. The Company does not intend to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, to reflect changes. These cautionary statements expressly qualify all forward-looking statements that apply to the Company including the risk factors presented in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this report and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

General

First Community Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a financial holding company, was founded in 1989 and incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 2018. The Company is the successor to First Community Bancshares, Inc., a Nevada corporation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reincorporation and Merger, the sole purpose of which was to change the Company’s state of incorporation from Nevada to Virginia. The Company’s principal executive office is located at One Community Place, Bluefield, Virginia. The Company provides banking products and services to individual and commercial customers through its wholly owned subsidiary First Community Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia-chartered banking institution founded in 1874. The Bank operates as First Community Bank in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina and People’s Community Bank, a Division of First Community Bank, in Tennessee. The Bank offers wealth management and investment advice through its Trust Division and wholly owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management (“FCWM”). Unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “First Community,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to First Community Bankshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices in the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and eliminate all intercompany balances and transactions. The Company operates in one business segment, Community Banking, which consists of all operations, including commercial and consumer banking, lending activities, and wealth management. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full year. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, and disclosures for a fair presentation.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 13, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or net cash flow.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that require the most subjective or complex judgments relate to fair value measurements, investment securities, the allowance for loan losses, goodwill and other intangible assets, and income taxes. A discussion of the Company’s application of critical accounting estimates is included in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 2 of this report.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K.

Risks and Uncertainties

Recent COVID-19 Virus Developments –

During the first quarter of 2020, government reaction to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic significantly disrupted local, national, and global economies and adversely impacted a broad range of industries, including banking and other financial services.

Company Response to COVID-19 –

As COVID-19 events unfolded during the first quarter, the Company implemented various plans, strategies and protocols to protect its employees, maintain services for customers, assure the functional continuity of its operating systems, controls and processes, and mitigate financial risks posed by changing market conditions. In particular, the Company took the following actions, among others:

●

Implemented its board-approved pandemic business continuity plan.

●

Appointed an internal pandemic preparedness task force comprised of the Company’s management to address both operational and financial risks posed by COVID-19

●

Modified branch operations:

Branch lobbies remain available, but on a limited appointment-only basis

Most transactions conducted via drive-throughs

Increased emphasis on digital banking platforms

●

Implemented physical separation of critical operational workforce for Bank and non-Bank financial services subsidiaries

Table of Contents

●

Expanded paid time off and health benefits for employees

●

Implemented work from home strategy:

The majority of the Company’s non-branch, operational employees (approximately 60% of the Company’s back office workforce) are working remotely

Geographically separated work locations of bank and Company CEO’s and most other executive management team members

Suspended work-related travel

●

Implemented a pay differential for employees continuing to work at branch or back office locations.

●

Adopted self-quarantine procedures

●

Implemented enhanced facility cleaning protocols

●

Redeployed staff to critical customer service operations to expedite loan payment deferral requests, Paycheck Protection Program lending efforts, and other operations

Potential Effects of COVID-19 –

The adverse impact of COVID-19 to the economy may impair the Company’s customers’ ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company, reducing interest income on loans or increasing loan losses. In keeping with Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus, the Company continues to work with COVID-19 affected borrowers to defer loan payments, interest, and fees. Through May 1, 2020, the Company has modified or deferred payments on a total of 2,176 loans totaling $327.52 million in principal (887 commercial loans totaling $254.72 million in principal, 698 consumer installment loans totaling $9.22 million in principal, 484 consumer mortgages totaling $57.47 million in principal, and 107 home equity loans totaling $6.10 million in principal). Deferred interest and fees for these loans will continue to accrue to income under normal GAAP accounting. However, should eventual credit losses on deferred payments occur, accrued interest income and fees would be reversed, which would negatively impact interest income in future periods. At this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of any such impact.

The general economic slowdown caused by COVID-19 in local economies in communities served by the Company could affect loan demand and consumption of financial services, generally, reducing interest income, service fees, and the demand for other profitable financial services provided by the Company.

In addition to the general impact of COVID-19, certain provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, as well as other legislative and regulatory actions may materially impact the Company. The Company is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), in an attempt to assist its customers. Per the terms of the program, PPP loans have a two-year term, earn interest at 1%, are fully guaranteed by the SBA, and are partially or totally forgivable if administered by the borrower according to guidance provided by SBA. The Company believes the majority of these loans have the potential to be forgiven by the SBA if administered in accordance with the terms of the program. Through May 1, 2020, the Company closed 234 loans for proceeds of $37.68 million through the PPP. Additionally, SBA has approved 407 additional loans for proceeds of $20.58 million that we expect to close in the coming weeks.

COVID-19 could cause a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price or the occurrence of an event that could, under certain circumstances, trigger the performance of a goodwill impairment test. In the event the Company deems all or a portion of its goodwill to be impaired, the Company could record a non-cash charge to earnings for the amount of such impairment. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible or regulatory capital.

To date, the Company has identified no material, unmitigated operational or internal control challenges or risks and anticipates no significant challenges to its ability to maintain systems and controls as a result of the actions taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In addition, the Company currently faces no material resource constraints arising due to implementation of the business continuity plan.

It is impossible to predict the full extent to which COVID-19 and the resulting measures to prevent its spread will affect the Company’s operations. Although there is a high degree of uncertainty around the magnitude and duration of the economic impact of COVID-19, the Company’s management believes its financial position, including high levels of capital and liquidity, will allow it to successfully endure the negative economic impacts of the crisis.

Recent Accounting Standards

Standards Adopted in 2020

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments remove, modify, and add certain fair value disclosure requirements based on the concepts in the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The update did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting Summary”. This ASU provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. LIBOR (London Inter-bank Offered Rate) and other interbank offered rates are widely used benchmarks or reference rates in the United States and globally. With global capital markets expected to move away from LIBOR and other inter-bank offered rates toward rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation, the FASB launched a broad project in late 2018 to address potential accounting challenges expected to arise from the transition. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. This ASU is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this ASU on March 12, 2020. The update is not expected to have any material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU purportedly requires earlier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. This ASU also requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. It further requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The CARES Act was passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by the President of the United States at the end of March 2020. The CARES Act states that “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no insured depository institution, bank holding company, or any affiliate thereof shall be required to comply with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (“Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”), including the current expected credit losses methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses, during the period beginning on March 27, 2020 and ending on the earlier of: (1) the date on which the national emergency concerning the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak declared by the President on March 13, 2020 under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) terminates; or (2) December 31, 2020. 15 U.S.C. § 9052(b) (2020). The Company has elected to “not comply with” ASU 2016-13 for the period specified in the CARES Act and any subsequent controlling legislation or regulation. In preparation for expiration of the period specified in the CARES Act, the Company has selected loss estimation methodologies for its allowance for credit losses, performed testing on the chosen methodologies, and determined a qualitative adjustment methodology that aligns with the requirements of the new standard. The Company has also subjected the model to third party validation. Based upon the aforesaid preparatory measures, upon expiration of the period specified in the CARES Act and any subsequent controlling legislation or regulation, the Company anticipates recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $5.61 million in connection with adoption of the new standard, consisting of tax-effected increases in the allowance for credit losses associated with the Company’s legacy loan portfolio prior to the addition of Highlands and the portfolio of purchased performing loans associated with Highlands of approximately $2.89 million and $4.44 million, respectively. The Company also anticipates making an approximate $7.04 million adjustment to the opening balance of the allowance for credit losses associated with the required gross-up of purchased credit deteriorated loans from the Highlands transaction.

Table of Contents

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition for deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The update is not expected to have any material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company does not expect other recent accounting standards issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Acquisitions

Highlands Bankshares, Inc.

On September 11, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Highlands Bankshares, Inc. (“Highlands”) of Abingdon, Virginia. Under the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, each share of Highlands’ common and preferred stock outstanding immediately converted into the right to receive 0.2703 shares of the Company’s stock. The transaction was consummated the close of business December 31, 2019. The transaction combined two traditional Southwestern Virginia community banks who serve the Highlands region in Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The total purchase price for the transaction was $86.65 million.

The Highlands transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to a year after the closing date of the acquisition.

Comparative and Pro Forma Financial Information for Acquisitions

As the merger date was the close of business, December 31, 2019, Highlands had no earnings contribution to the March 31, 2019 consolidated statement of income for the Company.

The following table discloses the impact of the merger. The table also presents certain pro forma information as if Highlands had been acquired on January 1, 2019. These results combine the historical results of Highlands in the Company’s consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2019.

Residual merger-related costs of $1.89 million incurred by the Company during the period ended March 31, 2020, have been excluded from the proforma information below. No adjustments have been made to the pro formas to eliminate the provision for loan losses for the periods ended March 31, 2019 of Highlands in the amount of $103,000. The Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisitions which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below:

There were 2 individual debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2020, and their combined depreciation in value was insignificant in relation to value of the debt securities portfolio. There were 17 individual debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2019, and their combined depreciation in value represented 0.10% of the debt securities portfolio.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio quarterly for indications of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). The initial indicator of OTTI for debt securities is a decline in fair value below book value and the severity and duration of the decline. The credit-related OTTI is recognized as a charge to noninterest income and the noncredit-related OTTI is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred no OTTI charges on debt securities. Temporary impairment on debt securities is primarily related to changes in benchmark interest rates, changes in pricing in the credit markets, and other current economic factors.

Note 4. Loans

The Company groups loans held for investment into three segments (commercial loans, consumer real estate loans, and consumer and other loans) with each segment divided into various classes. Covered loans are those loans acquired in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assisted transactions that are covered by loss share agreements. Customer overdrafts reclassified as loans totaled $1.69 million as of March 31, 2020, and $2.20 million as of December 31, 2019. Deferred loan fees, net of loan costs, totaled $4.86 million as of March 31, 2020, and $4.60 million as of December 31, 2019.

Table of Contents

The Company identifies certain purchased loans as impaired when fair values are established at acquisition and groups those purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans into loan pools with common risk characteristics. The Company estimates cash flows to be collected on PCI loans and discounts those cash flows at a market rate of interest. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company collapsed the insignificant PCI loans and discounts for Peoples, Waccamaw, and other acquired loans into the core loan portfolio. The only remaining PCI pools are those loans acquired in the Highlands acquisition on December 31, 2019.

The following table presents the recorded investment and contractual unpaid principal balance of PCI loans, by acquisition, as of the dates indicated:

Note 5. Credit Quality

The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each loan in its portfolio. Loan risk ratings may be upgraded or downgraded to reflect current information identified during the loan review process. The general characteristics of each risk grade are as follows:

	●	Pass -- This grade is assigned to loans with acceptable credit quality and risk. The Company further segments this grade based on borrower characteristics that include capital strength, earnings stability, liquidity, leverage, and industry conditions.
	●	Special Mention -- This grade is assigned to loans that require an above average degree of supervision and attention. These loans have the characteristics of an asset with acceptable credit quality and risk; however, adverse economic or financial conditions exist that create potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention. If potential weaknesses are not corrected, the prospect of repayment may worsen.
	●	Substandard -- This grade is assigned to loans that have well defined weaknesses that may make payment default, or principal exposure, possible. These loans will likely be dependent on collateral liquidation, secondary repayment sources, or events outside the normal course of business to meet repayment terms.
	●	Doubtful -- This grade is assigned to loans that have the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans; however, the weaknesses are so severe that collection or liquidation in full is unlikely based on current facts, conditions, and values. Due to certain specific pending factors, the amount of loss cannot yet be determined.
	●	Loss -- This grade is assigned to loans that will be charged off or charged down when payments, including the timing and value of payments, are uncertain. This risk grade does not imply that the asset has no recovery or salvage value, but simply means that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off, either all or a portion of, the loan balance even though partial recovery may be realized in the future.

Table of Contents

The following tables present the recorded investment of the loan portfolio, by loan class and credit quality, as of the dates indicated. Losses on covered loans are generally reimbursable by the FDIC at the applicable loss share percentage, 80%; therefore, covered loans are disclosed separately.

The Company identifies loans for potential impairment through a variety of means, including, but not limited to, ongoing loan review, renewal processes, delinquency data, market communications, and public information. If the Company determines that it is probable all principal and interest amounts contractually due will not be collected, the loan is generally deemed impaired.

The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status when it is 90 days or more past due. PCI loans are generally not classified as nonaccrual due to the accrual of interest income under the accretion method of accounting.

Table of Contents

The following tables present the aging of past due loans, by loan class, as of the dates indicated. Nonaccrual loans 30 days or more past due are included in the applicable delinquency category. Loans acquired with credit deterioration, with a discount, continue to accrue interest based on expected cash flows; therefore, PCI loans are not generally considered nonaccrual. Non-covered accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more totaled $191 thousand as of March 31, 2020, compared to $144 thousand as of December 31, 2019.

The Company may make concessions in interest rates, loan terms and/or amortization terms when restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Restructured loans in excess of $500 thousand are evaluated for a specific reserve based on either the collateral or net present value method, whichever is most applicable. Restructured loans under $500 thousand are subject to the reserve calculation at the historical loss rate for classified loans. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and are returned to performing status after six months of satisfactory payment performance; however, these loans remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation occurs. PCI loans are generally not considered TDRs as long as the loans remain in the assigned loan pool. No covered loans were recorded as TDRs as of March 31, 2020, or December 31, 2019.

The provisions of the CARES Act included an election to not apply the guidance on accounting for troubled debt restructurings to loan modifications, such as extensions or deferrals, related to COVID-19 made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 or (ii) 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. The relief can only be applied to modifications for borrowers that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Company elected to adopt these provisions of the CARES Act.

Through March 31, 2020, the Company had modified 154 loans with principal balances totaling $6.61 million related to COVID-19 relief. Those modifications were generally short-term payment deferrals and are not considered TDR’s based on the CARES Act; however, the Company’s policy is to downgrade commercial loans modified for COVID-19 to Special Mention.

Note 7. FDIC Indemnification Asset

In connection with the FDIC-assisted acquisition of Waccamaw Bank (“Waccamaw”) in 2012, the Company entered into loss share agreements with the FDIC in which the FDIC agrees to cover 80% of most loan and foreclosed real estate losses and reimburse certain expenses incurred in relation to those covered assets. Loss share coverage for commercial loans expired June 30, 2017, with recoveries ending June 30, 2020. Loss share coverage on single family loans will expire June 30, 2022. The Company’s consolidated statements of income include the expense on covered assets net of estimated reimbursements.

Note 9. Leases

Operating leases are recorded as a right of use (“ROU”) asset and operating lease liability.The ROU asset represents the right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and the lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The ROU asset and lease liability have been recognized based on the present value of the lease payments using a discount rate that represented our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date or the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02. The lease expense which is comprised of the amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recorded in occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company’s current operating leases relate primarily to bank branches. The Company’s ROU asset was $896 thousand as of March 31, 2020 compared to $917 thousand as of December 31, 2019. The operating lease liability as of March 31, 2020 was $980 comparted to $1.01 million as of December 31, 2019. The Company’s total operating leases have remaining terms of 2 – 9 years; compared with 2-10 years as of December 31, 2019. The March 31, 2020 weighted average discount rate of 3.22% did not change from December 31, 2019.

Future minimum lease payments as of the dates indicated are as follows:

Repurchase agreements are secured by certain securities that remain under the Company’s control during the terms of the agreements.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had no long-term borrowings.

Unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB totaled $235.67 million, net of FHLB letters of credit of $169.07 million, as of March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the Company pledged $703.90 million in qualifying loans to secure the FHLB borrowing capacity.

The Company maintains a $15.00 million unsecured, committed line of credit with an unrelated financial institution with an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.00% that matures in April 2020. At the end of March the line was tested with a $1.00 million draw on the line; the draw was repaid early April 2020. There was no outstanding balance on the line as of December 31, 2019.

Note 11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Generally, derivative instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk and meet customer financing needs. Market risk represents the possibility that fluctuations in external factors such as interest rates, market-driven loan rates, prices, or other economic factors will adversely affect economic value or net interest income.

The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to modify its exposure to interest rate risk caused by changes in the LIBOR curve in relation to certain designated fixed rate loans. These instruments are used to convert these fixed rate loans to an effective floating rate. If the LIBOR rate falls below the loan’s stated fixed rate for a given period, the Company will owe the floating rate payer the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed rate. If LIBOR is above the stated rate for a given period, the Company will receive payments based on the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed rate. The Company’s interest rate swaps qualify as fair value hedging instruments; therefore, fair value changes in the derivative and hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the same period. The fair value hedges were effective as of March 31 2020. The following table presents the notional, or contractual, amounts and fair values of derivative instruments as of the dates indicated:

	March 31, 2020						December 31, 2019

Note 15. Fair Value

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value hierarchy ranks the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

	●	Level 1 – Observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
	●	Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability
	●	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs with little or no market activity that require the Company to use reasonable inputs and assumptions

The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis. The Company may be required to record certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in specific circumstances, such as evidence of impairment. Methodologies used to determine fair value might be highly subjective and judgmental in nature; therefore, valuations may not be precise. If the Company determines that a valuation technique change is necessary, the change is assumed to have occurred at the end of the respective reporting period. The following discussion describes the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

Assets and Liabilities Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. Debt securities available for sale are reported at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of Level 1 securities is based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are primarily derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 securities use fair value measurements from independent pricing services obtained by the Company. These fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and bond terms and conditions. The Company’s Level 2 securities include U.S. Agency and Treasury securities, municipal securities, and mortgage-backed securities. Securities are based on Level 3 inputs when there is limited activity or less transparency to the valuation inputs. In the absence of observable or corroborated market data, internally developed estimates that incorporate market-based assumptions are used when such information is available.

Fair value models may be required when trading activity has declined significantly or does not exist, prices are not current, or pricing variations are significant. For Level 3 securities, the Company obtains the cash flow of specific securities from third parties that use modeling software to determine cash flows based on market participant data and knowledge of the structures of each individual security. The fair values of Level 3 securities are determined by applying proper market observable discount rates to the cash flow derived from third-party models. Discount rates are developed by determining credit spreads above a benchmark rate, such as LIBOR, and adding premiums for illiquidity, which are based on a comparison of initial issuance spread to LIBOR versus a financial sector curve for recently issued debt to LIBOR. Securities with increased uncertainty about the receipt of cash flows are discounted at higher rates due to the addition of a deal specific credit premium based on assumptions about the performance of the underlying collateral. Finally, internal fair value model pricing and external pricing observations are combined by assigning weights to each pricing observation. Pricing is reviewed for reasonableness based on the direction of specific markets and the general economic indicators.

Equity Securities. Equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses Level 1 inputs to value equity securities that are traded in active markets. Equity securities that are not actively traded are classified in Level 2.

Loans Held for Investment. Loans held for investment are reported at fair value using the exit price notion, which is derived from third-party models. Loans related to fair value hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Deferred Compensation Assets and Liabilities. Securities held for trading purposes are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These securities include assets related to employee deferred compensation plans, which are generally invested in Level 1 equity securities. The liability associated with these deferred compensation plans is carried at the fair value of the obligation to the employee, which corresponds to the fair value of the invested assets.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities. Derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company obtains dealer quotes, Level 2 inputs, based on observable data to value derivatives.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Impaired Loans. Impaired loans are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when repayment is expected solely from the sale of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is based on appraised value adjusted for customized discounting criteria, Level 3 inputs.

The Company maintains an active and robust problem credit identification system. The impairment review includes obtaining third-party collateral valuations to help management identify potential credit impairment and determine the amount of impairment to record. The Company’s Special Assets staff manages and monitors all impaired loans. Internal collateral valuations are generally performed within two to four weeks of identifying the initial potential impairment. The internal valuation compares the original appraisal to current local real estate market conditions and considers experience and expected liquidation costs. The Company typically receives a third-party valuation within thirty to forty-five days of completing the internal valuation. When a third-party valuation is received, it is reviewed for reasonableness. Once the valuation is reviewed and accepted, discounts are applied to fair market value, based on, but not limited to, our historical liquidation experience for like collateral, resulting in an estimated net realizable value. The estimated net realizable value is compared to the outstanding loan balance to determine the appropriate amount of specific impairment reserve.

Specific reserves are generally recorded for impaired loans while third-party valuations are in process and for impaired loans that continue to make some form of payment. While waiting to receive the third-party appraisal, the Company regularly reviews the relationship to identify any potential adverse developments and begins the tasks necessary to gain control of the collateral and prepare it for liquidation, including, but not limited to, engagement of counsel, inspection of collateral, and continued communication with the borrower. Generally, the only difference between the current appraised value, less liquidation costs, and the carrying amount of the loan, less the specific reserve, is any downward adjustment to the appraised value that the Company deems appropriate, such as the costs to sell the property. Impaired loans that do not meet certain criteria and do not have a specific reserve have typically been written down through partial charge-offs to net realizable value. Based on prior experience, the Company rarely returns loans to performing status after they have been partially charged off. Credits identified as impaired move quickly through the process towards ultimate resolution, except in cases involving bankruptcy and various state judicial processes that may extend the time for ultimate resolution.

OREO. OREO is recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. The Company calculates the fair value of OREO from current or prior appraisals that have been adjusted for valuation declines, estimated selling costs, and other proprietary qualitative adjustments that are deemed necessary.

(2)	Appraisals may be adjusted by management for customized discounting criteria, estimated sales costs, and proprietary qualitative adjustments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses various methodologies and assumptions to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments. A description of valuation methodologies used for instruments not previously discussed is as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are reported at their carrying amount, which is considered a reasonable estimate due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

FDIC Indemnification Asset. The FDIC indemnification asset is reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply current discount rates.

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable. Accrued interest receivable/payable is reported at its carrying amount, which is considered a reasonable estimate due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Deposits and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. Deposits and repurchase agreements with fixed maturities and rates are reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply interest rates available in the market for instruments with similar characteristics and maturities.

Table of Contents

FHLB and Other Borrowings. FHLB and other borrowings are reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar characteristics and maturities.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments. The Company believes that fair values of unfunded commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees are not meaningful; therefore, off-balance sheet instruments are not addressed in the fair value disclosures. The Company believes it is not feasible or practical to accurately disclose the fair values of off-balance sheet instruments due to the uncertainty and difficulty in assessing the likelihood and timing of advancing available proceeds, the lack of an established market for these instruments, and the diversity in fee structures. For additional information about the unfunded, contractual value of off-balance sheet financial instruments, see Note 15, “Litigation, Commitments, and Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Note 16. Litigation, Commitments, and Contingencies

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims. While the Company and its legal counsel are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each of these matters with certainty, the Company believes the resolution of these actions, singly or in the aggregate, should not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. If the other party to a financial instrument does not perform, the Company’s credit loss exposure is the same as the contractual amount of the instrument. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being drawn on, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of each customer on a case-by-case basis. Collateral may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income producing commercial properties. The Company maintains a reserve for the risk inherent in unfunded lending commitments, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending credit to customers. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, to secure the customer’s performance under certain letters of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

ITEM 2.

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

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations. MD&A contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes, and other financial information included in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”). Unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “First Community,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to First Community Bankshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity.

Executive Overview

First Community Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial holding company, headquartered in Bluefield, Virginia, that provides banking products and services through its wholly owned subsidiary First Community Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia chartered bank institution. As of March 31, 2020, the Bank operated 58 branches as First Community Bank in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina and as People’s Community Bank, a Division of First Community Bank, in Tennessee. As of March 31, 2020, full-time equivalent employees, calculated using the number of hours worked, totaled 654. Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, the difference between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities, which is supplemented by fees for services, commissions on sales, and various deposit service charges. We fund our lending and investing activities primarily through the retail deposit operations of our branch banking network and, to a lesser extent, retail and wholesale repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings. We invest our funds primarily in loans to retail and commercial customers and various investment securities. Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol, FCBC.

The Bank offers trust management, estate administration, and investment advisory services through its Trust Division and wholly owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management (“FCWM”). The Trust Division manages inter vivos trusts and trusts under will, develops and administers employee benefit and individual retirement plans, and manages and settles estates. Fiduciary fees for these services are charged on a schedule related to the size, nature, and complexity of the account. Revenues consist primarily of investment advisory fees and commissions on assets under management and administration. As of March 31, 2020, the Trust Division and FCWM managed and administered $1.02 billion in combined assets under various fee-based arrangements as fiduciary or agent.

Recent Events

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in China, and quickly spread across most of the earth, including the United States. In March 2020, President Trump declared a National Public Health Emergency. Government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have severely restricted the level of economic activity in the Company’s markets. While the financial services industry has been designated an essential business in each of the states in which the Company operates, many or the Company’s customers are non-essential businesses, or are employed by non-essential businesses, and have been adversely affected by government shutdowns.

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted trade, travel, employee productivity, unemployment, consumer spending, and other economic activities, resulting in less economic activity, lower equity market valuations, significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, adversely affecting the Company’s business volume, financial condition and results of operations. However, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is fluid and continues to evolve. The ultimate extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations is currently uncertain and will depend on various developments, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, governmental, regulatory and private sector responses to the pandemic, the pandemic’s depth of impact on national and local economies, financial market reactions, responses of the Company’s customers, employees and vendors, and other factors.

The Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations generally rely upon the ability of borrowers to repay their loans, the value of collateral underlying secured loans, and demand for loans and other financial products and services. Each of these conditions depends highly on the business environment in the primary markets where the Company operates and in the United States as a whole. To this point, the COVID-19 pandemic has begun to have a significant impact on the Company’s business and operations.

In order to implement and exercise social distancing, on March 20, 2020, the Company began limiting access to branch lobbies and conducting most business through drive-through tellers and through electronic and online means. To support the health and well-being of employees, a majority of the Company’s back office workforce is currently working remotely, and the Company has temporarily implemented pay differential for employees not working remotely. To support and assist loan customers and/or comply with guidance from regulatory bodies, the Company has deferred loan payments for many consumer and commercial customers, suspended residential property foreclosures, evictions, and involuntary automobile repossessions, and is offering fee waivers, payment deferrals, and other extra-ordinary assistance for automobile, mortgage, small business and personal lending customers. Future regulatory or governmental actions may require these and other types of customer-assistance measures.

Through May 1, 2020, the Company has modified or deferred payments on a total of 2,176 loans totaling $327.52 million in principal (887 commercial loans totaling $254.72 million in principal, 698 consumer installment loans totaling $9.22 million in principal, 484 consumer mortgages totaling $57.47 million in principal, and 107 home equity loans totaling $6.10 million in principal). Deferred interest and fees for these loans will continue to accrue. However, should eventual credit losses on deferred payments occur, accrued interest income and fees would be reversed, which would negatively impact interest income in future periods. At this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of any such impact. The Company proactively reached out to customers to provide guidance and assistance on loan deferrals. To date, the company has not experienced an increase in borrowers drawing on lines of credit. Management currently believes the hotel/motel and retail loan portfolios to be at the greatest risk.

The Company is also participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), in an attempt to assist both existing customers and non-customers. Through May 1, 2020, the Company closed or secured SBA approval for 641 loans totaling $58.26 million through the PPP.

Management and the Board of Directors are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on results of operations and financial condition. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.50 million in the first quarter of 2020, which was significantly higher than in recent previous quarters. Management expects the provisions for loan losses for periods ending after March 31, 2020, to be materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

On September 11, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Highlands Bankshares, Inc. (“Highlands” ) of Abingdon, Virginia. Under the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, each share of Highlands’ common and preferred stock outstanding immediately converted into the right to receive 0.2703 shares of the Company’s stock. The transaction was consummated the close of business December 31, 2019. The transaction combined two traditional Southwestern Virginia community banks who serve the Highlands region in Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The total purchase price for the transaction was $86.65 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Our financial position and results of operations may require management to make significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on our financial condition or operating performance. Due to the level of subjectivity and the susceptibility of such matters to change, actual results could differ significantly from management’s assumptions and estimates. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments, which are periodically evaluated, are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events believed reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are generally necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at estimated fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or a valuation reserve, or when an asset or liability needs recorded based on the probability of occurrence of a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. Fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based on quoted market prices, when available, or third-party sources. When quoted prices or third-party information is not available, management estimates valuation adjustments primarily through the use of financial modeling techniques and appraisal estimates.

Our accounting policies are fundamental in understanding MD&A and the disclosures presented in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” of this report. Our accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020, and in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our 2019 Form 10-K. Our critical accounting estimates are detailed in the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section in Part II, Item 7 of our 2019 Form 10-K.

Performance Overview

Highlights of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and financial condition as of March 31, 2020, include the following:

	●	Diluted earnings per share was $0.44.
	●	Current year quarter earnings includes a loan loss provision of $3.50 million, an increase of $2.28 million over first quarter of 2019. The provision had the effect of building loan loss reserves $2.71 million during the first quarter to recognize the impact of the coronavirus slowdown.
	●	Despite the significant increase in loan loss provision, return on average assets was 1.16% for the quarter.
	●	Net interest margin increased 11 basis points to 4.71% compared to the same quarter of 2019, reflective of the addition of Highlands Bankshares, Inc.
	●	The Company incurred $1.89 million in residual merger expenses related to the Highlands acquisition that occurred December 31, 2019.
	●	Prior to the pandemic responses, the Company completed its stock repurchase authorization with the repurchase of 734,653 shares for approximately $21.87 million. Based on the current outlook for economic conditions, the Company decided to temporarily suspend any further share repurchases. As of March 31, 2020, the Company continues to significantly exceed regulatory “well capitalized” targets, as well as all capital targets of its capital management plan.

Three-Month Comparison. Net income decreased $1.76 million in the first quarter of 2020 due to a $2.28 million increase in the provision for loan losses as a result of building the reserve to recognize the impact of the coronavirus slowdown. Additional decreases resulted from increases in salaries and employee benefits of $2.22 million reflective of the addition of Highlands; and $1.89 million in residual merger expenses related to the Highlands acquisition that occurred December 31, 2019. Results for first quarter 2019 also included one-time litigation settlements of $1.68 million. These decreases were offset by an increase of $5.50 million in net interest income that is reflective of the addition of Highlands.

(1)	FTE basis based on the federal statutory rate of 21%.

Three-Month Comparison. Net interest income comprised 78.57% of total net interest and noninterest income in the first quarter of 2020 compared to 73.30% in the same quarter of 2019. Net interest income on a GAAP basis increased $5.50 million, or 24.77%, compared to an increase of $5.45 million, or 24.29%, on a FTE basis. The net interest margin on a FTE basis increased 11 basis points and the net interest spread on a FTE basis increased 10 basis points. The increase in the net interest margin and the net interest spread are primarily attributable to the acquisition of Highlands Bankshares, Inc.

Average earning assets increased $402.77 million, or 20.36%, primarily due to a increase in average loans as well as an increase in interest-bearing deposits. Average loans increased $316.00 million which was primarily due to the addition of Highlands. The yield on earning assets increased 13 basis points or 2.66%, due to a 32 basis point increase in yield on loans. The average loan to deposit ratio decreased to 91.76% from 95.59% in the same quarter of 2019. Non-cash accretion income increased $1.19 million, or 155.76%, due to the addition of loans from the Highlands acquisition.

Average interest-bearing liabilities, which consist of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, increased $263.65 million, or 18.76%, primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing deposits. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities increased 3 basis points. Average borrowings decreased $16.94 million, largely due to a $25 million payoff of a wholesale repurchase agreement in the first quarter of 2019. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $280.59 million, or 20.23%, which was driven by the December 31, 2019 Highlands acquisition with increases in average savings deposits of $178.38 million, or 35.59%, interest-bearing demand of $55.58 million, or 12.43%, and time deposits of $46.63 million, or 10.64%

Provision for Loan Losses

Three-Month Comparison. The provision charged to operations increased $2.28 million, or 186.89%, to $3.50 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter of 2019. The provision had the effect of increasing loan loss reserves $2.71 million during the first quarter to recognize the impact of the coronavirus slowdown. For additional information, see “Allowance for Loan Losses” in the “Financial Condition” section below.

Three-Month Comparison. Noninterest income comprised 21.43% of total net interest and noninterest income in the first quarter of 2020 compared to 26.70% in the same quarter of 2019. Noninterest income decreased $531 thousand, or 6.57%. The decrease was primarily due to $1.68 million received from litigation settlements in the first quarter of 2019, offset by net gains on the sale of securities of $385 thousand, an increase in service charges on deposits of $323 thousand, and an increase of $182 thousand in other service charges and fees.

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents the components of, and changes in, noninterest expense for the periods indicated:

Total noninterest expense	$	21,664	$	16,785	$	4,879			29.07	%

Three-Month Comparison. Noninterest expense increased $4.88 million, or 29.07%, in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter of 2019. The increase was largely due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $2.22 million primarily attributable to the addition of Highlands employees. In addition, the Company incurred $1.89 million in residual merger expenses related to the Highlands acquisition. The decrease in FDIC premiums and assessments of $168 thousand was attributable to the receipt of Small Bank Assessment credits from the FDIC.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective tax rate, income tax as a percent of pre-tax income, may vary significantly from the statutory rate due to permanent differences and available tax credits. Permanent differences are income and expense items excluded by law in the calculation of taxable income. The Company’s most significant permanent differences generally include interest income on municipal securities and increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies.

Table of Contents

Three-Month Comparison. Income tax expense decreased $435 thousand, or 16.54%, primarily due to the decrease in pre-tax earnings. The effective tax rate increased to 21.80% in the first quarter of 2020 from 21.45% in the same quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes provide investors with important information useful in understanding our operational performance and comparing our financial measures with other financial institutions. The non-GAAP financial measure presented in this report includes net interest income on a FTE basis. We believe FTE basis is the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides better comparability between taxable and tax exempt amounts. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage the composition of our balance sheet. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefits of income from certain tax exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory rate of 21%. While we believe certain non-GAAP financial measures enhance understanding of our business and performance, they are supplemental and not a substitute for, or more important than, financial measures prepared on a GAAP basis. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to those reported by other financial institutions. The reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP measures are presented below.

The following table reconciles net interest income and margin, as presented in our consolidated statements of income, to net interest income on a FTE basis for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Net interest margin, FTE		4.71	%		4.60	%

Financial Condition

Total assets as of March 31, 2020, decreased $59.89 million, or 2.14% from December 31, 2019. The decrease in assets was primarily driven by a decrease in investment securities of $61.82 million, or 36.46%. In addition, total liabilities as of March 31, 2020, decreased $42.67 million, or 1.80% from December 31, 2019. The decrease in liabilities was primarily the result of a decrease in total deposits of $41.50 million, or 1.78%.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities are used to generate interest income through the employment of excess funds, to provide liquidity, to fund loan demand or deposit liquidation, and to pledge as collateral where required. The composition of our investment portfolio changes from time to time as we consider our liquidity needs, interest rate expectations, asset/liability management strategies, and capital requirements.

Available-for-sale debt securities as of March 31, 2020, decreased $61.82 million, or 36.46%, compared to December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of $51.03 million in securities. The market value of debt securities available for sale as a percentage of amortized cost was 101.81% as of March 31, 2020, compared to 100.65% as of December 31, 2019.

Investment securities are reviewed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges. We recognized no OTTI charges in earnings associated with debt securities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

Loans held for investment, our largest component of interest income, are grouped into commercial, consumer real estate, and consumer and other loan segments. Each segment is divided into various loan classes based on collateral or purpose. Certain loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions are covered under loss share agreements (“covered loans”). Total loans held for investment, net of unearned income, as of March 31, 2020, decreased $17.74 million, or 0.84%, compared to December 31, 2019. Covered loans decreased $746 thousand, or 5.80%, as the covered Waccamaw portfolio continues to pay down. For additional information, see Note 3, “Loans,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Risk Elements

We seek to mitigate credit risk by following specific underwriting practices and by ongoing monitoring of our loan portfolio. Our underwriting practices include the analysis of borrowers’ prior credit histories, financial statements, tax returns, and cash flow projections; valuation of collateral based on independent appraisers’ reports; and verification of liquid assets. We believe our underwriting criteria are appropriate for the various loan types we offer; however, losses may occur that exceed the reserves established in our allowance for loan losses. We track certain credit quality indicators that include: trends related to the risk rating of commercial loans, the level of classified commercial loans, net charge-offs, nonperforming loans, and general economic conditions. The Company’s loan review function generally analyzes all commercial loan relationships greater than $4.00 million annually and at various times during the year. Smaller commercial and retail loans are sampled for review during the year.

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, accrual loans contractually past due 90 days or more, unseasoned troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), and OREO. Ongoing activity in the classification and categories of nonperforming loans include collections on delinquencies, foreclosures, loan restructurings, and movements into or out of the nonperforming classification due to changing economic conditions, borrower financial capacity, or resolution efforts. Loans acquired with credit deterioration, with a discount, continue to accrue interest based on expected cash flows; therefore, PCI loans are not generally considered nonaccrual. For additional information, see Note 4, “Credit Quality,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

(1)	TDRs restructured within the past six months and nonperforming TDRs exclude nonaccrual TDRs of $2.31 million, $95 thousand, and $800 thousand for the periods ended March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2019, respectively.
(2)	TDRs with six months or more of satisfactory payment performance exclude nonaccrual TDRs of $318 thousand, $2.25 million, and $2.06 million for the periods ended March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2019, respectively.
(3)	Total accruing TDRs exclude nonaccrual TDRs of $2.62 million, $2.34 million, and $2.86 million for the periods ended March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2019, respectively.

Non-covered nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2020, increased $2.77 million, or 13.23%, from December 31, 2019, primarily due to a increase in non-covered nonaccrual loans acquired from Highlands Union Bank offset by a decrease in OREO of $1.47 million. Non-covered nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2020, increased $4.15 million, or 25.76%, from December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, non-covered nonaccrual loans were largely attributed to single family owner occupied (40.54%), non-farm, non-residential (18.38%), and single family non-owner occupied loans (10.03%). As of March 31, 2020, approximately $3.32 million or 16.39%, of non-covered nonaccrual loans were attributed to performing loans acquired through the Highlands acquisition. Certain loans included in the nonaccrual category have been written down to estimated realizable value or assigned specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses based on management’s estimate of loss at ultimate resolution.

Table of Contents

Non-covered delinquent loans, comprised of loans 30 days or more past due and nonaccrual loans, totaled $45.23 million as of March 31, 2020, a increase of $9.61 million, or 26.97%, compared to $35.62 million as of December 31, 2019. Non-covered delinquent loans as a percent of total non-covered loans totaled 2.15% as of March 31, 2020, which includes past due loans (1.19%) and nonaccrual loans (0.96%).

When restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, we generally make concessions in interest rates, loan terms, or amortization terms. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming when modified and are returned to performing status after six months of satisfactory payment performance; however, these loans remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation occurs. Accruing TDRs as of March 31, 2020, increased $2.48 million, or 37.67%, to $9.05 million from December 31, 2019. Unseasoned, or loans restructured within the last six months, and nonperforming accruing TDRs as of March 31, 2020, increased $1.86 million to $2.76 million compared to December 31, 2019. Unseasoned and nonperforming accruing TDRs as a percent of total accruing TDRs totaled 30.45% as of March 31, 2020, compared to 13.69% as of December 31, 2019. Specific reserves on TDRs totaled $351 thousand as of March 31, 2020, compared to $353 thousand as of December 31, 2019.

The provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act included an election to not apply the guidance on accounting for troubled debt restructurings to loan modifications, such as extensions or deferrals, related to COVID-19 made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 or (ii) 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. The relief can only be applied to modifications for borrowers that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Company elected to adopt these provisions of the CARES Act.

Non-covered OREO, which is carried at the lesser of estimated net realizable value or cost, decreased $1.47 million, or 36.96%, as of March 31, 2020, compared to December 31, 2019, and consisted of 27 properties with an average holding period of 6 months. The net loss on the sale of OREO totaled $300 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $364 thousand for the same period of the prior year. The following table presents the changes in OREO during the periods indicated:

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management deems sufficient to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries of prior loan charge-offs and decreased by loans charged off. The provision for loan losses is calculated and charged to expense to bring the allowance to an appropriate level using a systematic process of measurement that requires significant judgments and estimates. As of March 31, 2020, our allowance reflects a higher risk of loan losses due to uncertainty around the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on business and economic conditions in our primary market areas. The loan portfolio is continually monitored for deterioration in credit, which may result in the need to increase the allowance for loan losses in future periods. Management considered the allowance adequate as of March 31, 2020; however, no assurance can be made that additions to the allowance will not be required in future periods. For additional information, see Note 5, “Allowance for Loan Losses,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

The allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2020, increased $2.71 million, or 14.71%, from December 31, 2019 due primarily to the increased potential for loan defaults and losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The non-PCI allowance as a percent of non-covered loans totaled 1.01% as of March 31, 2020, compared to 0.88% as of December 31, 2019. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company collapsed the PCI loans and discounts for Peoples and Waccamaw acquired loans into the core loan portfolio. The Highlands transaction added the following pools: 1-4 Family, Senior-Consumer, 1-4 Family Senior-Commercial, 1-4 Family, Junior and Home Equity Lines, Commercial Land and Development, Farmland and Agricultural, Multi-family, Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied, Commercial Real Estate – Non-owner Occupied, Commercial and Industrial, and Consumer. Net charge-offs decreased $789 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in net charge-offs was driven by reduced losses in the single-family owner occupied loan pool.

Deposits

Total deposits as of March 31, 2020, decreased $41.50 million, or 1.78%, compared to December 31, 2019. The decrease was largely attributable to time deposits which decreased $42.38 million, or 8.22%, with decreases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $7.58 million, and savings deposits of $7.44 million. These decreases were offset by an increase in interest-bearing demand accounts of $15.90 million, or 3.20%.

Borrowings

Total borrowings as of March 31, 2020, increased $747 thousand, compared to December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.00 million draw on a correspondent line of credit that was tested at quarter-end. The borrowing was paid back early April 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to convert assets to cash or raise cash to meet financial obligations. We believe that liquidity management should encompass an overall balance sheet approach that draws together all sources and uses of liquidity. Poor or inadequate liquidity risk management may result in a funding deficit that could have a material impact on our operations. We maintain a liquidity risk management policy and contingency funding policy (“Liquidity Plan”) to detect potential liquidity issues and protect our depositors, creditors, and shareholders. The Liquidity Plan includes various internal and external indicators that are reviewed on a recurring basis by our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) of the Board of Directors. ALCO reviews liquidity risk exposure and policies related to liquidity management; ensures that systems and internal controls are consistent with liquidity policies; and provides accurate reports about liquidity needs, sources, and compliance. The Liquidity Plan involves ongoing monitoring and estimation of potentially credit sensitive liabilities and the sources and amounts of balance sheet and external liquidity available to replace outflows during a funding crisis. The liquidity model incorporates various funding crisis scenarios and a specific action plan is formulated, and activated, when a financial shock that affects our normal funding activities is identified. Generally, the plan will reflect a strategy of replacing liability outflows with alternative liabilities, rather than balance sheet asset liquidity, to the extent that significant premiums can be avoided. If alternative liabilities are not available, outflows will be met through liquidation of balance sheet assets, including unpledged securities.

As a financial holding company, the Company’s primary source of liquidity is dividends received from the Bank, which are subject to certain regulatory limitations. Other sources of liquidity include cash, investment securities, and borrowings. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s cash reserves totaled $8.33 million and availability on an unsecured, committed line of credit with an unrelated financial institution totaled $15.00 million. There was an outstanding balance on the line of credit of $1.00 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company’s cash reserves and investments provide adequate working capital to meet obligations and anticipated debt repayments for the next twelve months.

In addition to cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions, we rely on customer deposits, cash flows from loans and investment securities, and lines of credit from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) Discount Window to meet potential liquidity demands. These sources of liquidity are immediately available to satisfy deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs, and our operations. Secondary sources of liquidity include approved lines of credit with correspondent banks and unpledged available-for-sale securities. As of March 31, 2020, our unencumbered cash totaled $241.69 million, unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB totaled $241.61 million, available credit from the FRB Discount Window totaled $6.08 million, available lines from correspondent banks totaled $85.00 million, and unpledged available-for-sale securities totaled $80.42 million.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the components of cash flow for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020			2019
(Amounts in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	11,373		$	14,093
Net cash provided by investing activities		80,487			71,642
Net cash used in financing activities		(67,256	)		(14,062	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		24,604			71,673
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning balance		217,009			76,873
Cash and cash equivalents, ending balance	$	241,613		$	148,546

Cash and cash equivalents increased $24.60 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to an increase of $71.67 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was driven by an increase in net cash used in financing activities. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was driven by a decrease in deposits of $64.19 million and the increase in repurchases of common stock totaling $14.09 million offset by the 2019 repayment of the wholesale repurchase agreement of $25.00 million.

Capital Resources

We are committed to effectively managing our capital to protect our depositors, creditors, and shareholders. Failure to meet certain capital requirements may result in actions by regulatory agencies that could have a material impact on our operations. Total stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2020, decreased $17.21 million, or 4.01%, to $411.61 million from $428.82 million as of December 31, 2019. The change in stockholders’ equity was largely due to net income of $7.87 million offset by the repurchase of 734,653 shares of our common stock totaling $21.87 million and dividends declared on our common stock of $4.59 million. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $367 thousand to $1.14 million as of March 31, 2020, compared to December 31, 2019, primarily due to net unrealized gains on securities. In accordance with current regulatory guidelines, accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) is largely excluded from stockholders’ equity in the calculation of our capital ratios. Our book value per common share decreased $0.08 or 0.34% to $23.25 as of March 31, 2020, from $23.33 as of December 31, 2019.

Capital Adequacy Requirements

Risk-based capital guidelines, issued by state and federal banking agencies, include balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet arrangements weighted by the risks inherent in the specific asset type. Our current risk-based capital requirements, based on the international capital standards known as Basel III, became effective on January 1, 2015, subject to a four-year phase-in period. Basel III’s capital conservation buffer became effective on January 1, 2016, at 0.625%, and was phased in over a four-year period (increasing by an additional 0.625% each year, reaching 2.5% on January 1, 2019). A description of the Basel III capital rules is included in Part I, Item 1 of the 2018 Form 10-K. Our current required capital ratios are as follows:

	●	4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 7.00% including the capital conservation buffer)
	●	6.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 8.50% including the capital conservation buffer)
	●	8.0% Total capital to risk-weighted assets (effectively 10.50% including the capital conservation buffer)
	●	4.0% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets (“Tier 1 leverage ratio”)

Table of Contents

The following table presents our capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

	March 31, 2020				December 31, 2019
	Company		Bank		Company		Bank

Common equity Tier 1 ratio		13.54%		13.05%		14.31%		12.87%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio		13.54%		13.05%		14.31%		12.87%
Total risk-based capital ratio		14.58%		14.10%		15.21%		13.78%
Tier 1 leverage ratio		10.59%		10.11%		14.01%		12.61%

Our risk-based capital ratios as of March 31, 2020, decreased from December 31, 2019, due to a decrease in total capital. The decrease in total capital was primarily attributable to the repurchase of 734,653 shares of our common stock totaling $21.87 million offset by net income of $7.87 million. As of March 31, 2020, we continued to meet all capital adequacy requirements and were classified as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes there have been no conditions or events since those notifications that would change the Bank’s classification. Additionally, our capital ratios were in excess of the minimum standards under the Basel III capital rules as of March 31, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We extend contractual commitments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by other parties to financial instruments is the same as the contractual amount of the instrument.

Market risk represents the risk of loss due to adverse changes in current and future cash flows, fair values, earnings, or capital due to movements in interest rates and other factors. Our profitability is largely dependent upon net interest income, which is subject to variation due to changes in the interest rate environment and unbalanced repricing opportunities. We are subject to interest rate risk when interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reprice at differing times, when underlying rates change at different levels or in varying degrees, when there is an unequal change in the spread between two or more rates for different maturities, and when embedded options, if any, are exercised. ALCO reviews our mix of assets and liabilities with the goal of limiting exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating sources and uses of funds while maintaining an acceptable level of net interest income given the current interest rate environment. ALCO is also responsible for overseeing the formulation and implementation of policies and strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and mitigate the effect of interest rate changes.

In order to manage our exposure to interest rate risk, we periodically review internal simulation and third-party models that project net interest income at risk, which measures the impact of different interest rate scenarios on net interest income, and the economic value of equity at risk, which measures potential long-term risk in the balance sheet by valuing our assets and liabilities at fair value under different interest rate scenarios. Simulation results show the existence and severity of interest rate risk in each scenario based on our current balance sheet position, assumptions about changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and estimated yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities. The simulation model provides the best tool available to us and the industry for managing interest rate risk; however, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income due to the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes; changes in market conditions and customer behavior; and changes in our strategies that management might undertake in response to a sudden and sustained rate shock.

As of March 31, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee had set the benchmark federal funds rate to a range of 0 to 25 basis points. Given the current range, a complete downward shock of 200 basis points is rendered meaningless; accordingly, downward rate scenarios are limited to minus 100 basis points. In the downward rate shocks presented, benchmark interest rates are assumed at levels with floors near 0%. The following table presents the sensitivity of net interest income from immediate and sustained rate shocks in various interest rate scenarios over a twelve-month period for the periods indicated.

Inflation and Changing Prices

Our consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of results of operations and financial position in historical dollars. Inflation may cause a rise in price levels and changes in the relative purchasing power of money. These inflationary effects are not reflected in historical dollar measurements. The primary effect of inflation on our operations is increased operating costs. In management’s opinion, interest rates have a greater impact on our financial performance than inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily fluctuate in the same direction, or to the same extent, as the price of goods and services; therefore, the effect of inflation on businesses with large investments in property, plant, and inventory is generally more significant than the effect on financial institutions. The U.S. inflation rate continues to be relatively stable, and management believes that any changes in inflation will not be material to our financial performance.

In anticipation of the potential discontinuance of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) at the end of 2021, the Company has broken the transition efforts into two phases. The first phase is adding additional language to new loans that allows the Company to replace LIBOR with an equivalent rate index and adjust the margin to ensure the resulting interest rate is the same as it previously was using LIBOR. Also included in the first phase the Company will be transitioning from the LIBOR swap curve to treasury rates when repricing certain loans. The second phase is transitioning current variable loans tied to LIBOR or on a LIBOR swap curve. The Company is currently quantifying the dollar amount and number of loans that extend beyond 2021.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The information required in this item is incorporated by reference to “Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity” in Item 2 of this report.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are our Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions about required disclosure.

Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, collusion of two or more people, or management’s override of the controls.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We assess the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting quarterly and enhance our controls in response to internal control assessments and internal and external audit and regulatory recommendations. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

Legal Proceedings

We are currently a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims in the normal course of business. Although we are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each matter with certainty, we believe that the resolution of these actions should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A.

Risk Factors

The risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 discuss potential events, trends, or other circumstances that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, access to capital resources, and, consequently, cause the market value of our common stock to decline. These risks could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results and expectations of future financial performance. If any of the risks occur and the market price of our common stock declines significantly, individuals may lose all, or part, of their investment in our Company. Individuals should carefully consider our risk factors and information included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 before making an investment decision. There may be risks and uncertainties that we have not identified or that we have deemed immaterial that could adversely affect our business; therefore, such risk factors are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all risks we face. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company is providing these additional risk factors to supplement the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The ultimate impacts of the pandemic on the Company will depend on future developments and other factors that are highly uncertain, the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.

The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets and has had an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the governments of the states in which the Company operates, and of most other states have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes, and ordering temporary closures of businesses that have been deemed to be non-essential. These restrictions and other consequences of the pandemic have resulted in significant adverse effects for many different types of businesses, including, among others, those in the travel, hospitality and food and beverage industries, and have resulted in a significant number of layoffs and furloughs of employees nationwide and in the regions in which we operate.

The ultimate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the broader economy and the markets that we serve are not known nor is the ultimate length of the restrictions described above and any accompanying effects. Moreover, the Federal Reserve has taken action to lower the Federal Funds rate, which may negatively affect our interest income and, therefore, earnings, financial condition and results of operation. e may include, or exacerbate, among other consequences, the following:

	●	employees contracting COVID-19;
	●	reductions in our operating effectiveness as our employees work from home;
	●	a work stoppage, forced quarantine, or other interruption of our business;
	●	unavailability of key personnel necessary to conduct our business activities;
	●	effects on key employees, including operational management personnel and those charged with preparing, monitoring and evaluating our financial reporting and internal controls;
	●	sustained closures of our branch lobbies or the offices of our customers;
	●	declines in demand for loans and other banking services and products;
	●	reduced consumer spending due to both job losses and other effects attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic;
	●	unprecedented volatility in United States financial markets;
	●	volatile performance of our investment securities portfolio;
	●	decline in the credit quality of our loan portfolio, owing to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the markets we serve, leading to a need to increase our allowance for loan losses;
	●	declines in value of collateral for loans, including real estate collateral;
	●	declines in the net worth and liquidity of borrowers and loan guarantors, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; and
	●	declines in demand resulting from businesses being deemed to be “non-essential” by governments in the markets we serve, and from “non-essential” and “essential” businesses suffering adverse effects from reduced levels of economic activity in our markets.

These factors, together or in combination with other events or occurrences that may not yet be known or anticipated, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in meaningfully lower stock prices for many companies, as well as the trading prices for many other securities. The further spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as ongoing or new governmental, regulatory and private sector responses to the pandemic, may materially disrupt banking and other economic activity generally and in the areas in which we operate. This could result in further decline in demand for our banking products and services, and could negatively impact, among other things, our liquidity, regulatory capital and our growth strategy. Any one or more of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are taking precautions to protect the safety and well-being of our employees and customers. However, no assurance can be given that the steps being taken will be adequate or deemed to be appropriate, nor can we predict the level of disruption which will occur to our employee’s ability to provide customer support and service. If we are unable to recover from a business disruption on a timely basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could further adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a participating lender in the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), the Company and the Bank are subject to additional risks of litigation from the Bank’s customers or other parties regarding the Bank’s processing of loans for the PPP and risks that the SBA may not fund some or all PPP loan guaranties.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the CARES Act, which included a $349 billion loan program administered through the SBA referred to as the PPP. Under the PPP, small businesses and other entities and individuals can apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. The Bank is participating as a lender in the PPP. The PPP opened on April 3, 2020; however, because of the short timeframe between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, there is some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, which exposes the Company to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP. On or about April 16, 2020, the SBA notified lenders that the $349 billion earmarked for the PPP was exhausted. Congress approved additional funding for the PPP of approximately $320 billion on April 24, 2020. As of May 1, 2020, we have funded approximately 234 loans totaling approximately $37.68 million through the PPP program.

Since the opening of the PPP, several other larger banks have been subject to litigation regarding the process and procedures that such banks used in processing applications for the PPP. The Company and the Bank may be exposed to the risk of litigation, from both customers and non-customers that approached the Bank regarding PPP loans, regarding its process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. If any such litigation is filed against the Company or the Bank and is not resolved in a manner favorable to the Company or the Bank, it may result in significant financial liability or adversely affect the Company’s reputation. In addition, litigation can be costly, regardless of outcome. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Bank also has credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced by the Bank, such as an issue with the eligibility of a borrower to receive a PPP loan, which may or may not be related to the ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP. In the event of a loss resulting from a default on a PPP loan and a determination by the SBA that there was a deficiency in the manner in which the PPP loan was originated, funded, or serviced by the Company, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from the Company.
