NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties and could reflect materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Methodologies the Company uses when applying critical accounting policies and developing critical accounting estimates are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

There have been no material changes from the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. In preparing the financial statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2021
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)." The amendments in this ASU simplified the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improved the consistent application of and simplified GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not impact our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management evaluates securities for impairment from credit losses at least quarterly, and more frequently when economic and market conditions warrant such evaluations. Consideration is given to numerous factors including, but not limited to, the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis; adverse conditions causing changes in the financial condition of the issuer of the security or underlying loan guarantors; changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and the Company’s intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost, which may extend to maturity.
The Company performs a process to determine whether the decline in the fair value of securities has resulted from credit losses or other factors. This process involves evaluating each security for impairment by monitoring credit performance, collateral type, collateral geography, bond credit support, loan-to-value ratios, credit scores, loss severity levels, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, cash flow projections and other factors as indicators of potential credit issues. If this evaluation indicates the existence of credit losses, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis, an ACL is recorded, limited by the amount that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost.

At March 31, 2021, 57 of the Company’s debt securities had unrealized losses totaling 2.3% of the individual securities’ amortized cost basis and 1.0% of the Company’s total amortized cost basis of the investment securities portfolio. At such date, 3 of the 57 securities had been in a continuous loss position for over 12 months. Management has determined that the declines in the fair value of these securities were not attributable to credit losses. As a result, no ACL was recorded for available for sale investment securities at March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2021, it was determined that no ACL was required for the Company's held-to-maturity investment securities. The Company monitors credit quality of debt securities held-to-maturity through the use of credit ratings. The following tables present the amortized cost of the Company's held-to-maturity securities by credit quality rating at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

5. Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses
The following briefly describes the distinction between originated and acquired loans and certain significant accounting policies.

Loans
Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding net of unearned income and fair value discounts, if applicable. Interest on loans and the accretion of unearned income are computed in a manner that approximates a level yield on recorded principal. Interest on loans is recorded as income is earned. The accrual of interest is discontinued when it is probable the borrower will not be able to meet payment obligations as they become due. It is our policy, with certain limited exceptions, to discontinue accruing interest and reverse any interest accrued on any loan which is 90 days or more past due. Interest income is not accrued on these loans until the borrower’s financial condition and payment record demonstrate an ability to service the debt. If it is determined that all or pat of a loan is uncollectible, the potion of the loan deemed uncollectible is charged to the allowance for credit losses.

Originated vs. Acquired Loans
"Originated loans" are loans that were originated for investment by the Company. Loans that were acquired as a result of business combinations are referred to as “acquired loans” and are recorded at the principal balance net of unearned income and fair value discounts. The Company's acquired loans were purchased prior to the adoption of ASC Topic 326 on January 1, 2020 and were recorded at estimated fair value at the acquisition date with no carryover of the related ALL. Since the adoption of ASC 326, loans that were acquired with evidence of credit deterioration are referred to as "purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans." At acquisition, acquired loans were segregated into loan pools designed to facilitate the estimation of expected cash flows. The fair value estimate for each pool of acquired loans was based on the estimate of expected cash flows, both principal and interest, from that pool, discounted at prevailing market interest rates. The difference between the fair value of an acquired loan pool and the contractual amounts due at the acquisition date (the “fair value discount”) is accreted into income over the estimated life of the pool.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Due to the adoption of ASC Topic 326 on January 1, 2020, management maintains, based on current and forecasted information, an allowance for credit losses ("ACL") that reflects a current estimate of expected credit losses ("CECL") for the estimated life of the loan portfolio at reporting periods subsequent to the adoption date.

The ACL, which equals the sum of the ALL and the ACL on unfunded lending commitments, is established through provisions for credit losses. Management recalculates the ACL at least quarterly to reassess the estimate of credit losses for the total portfolio at the relevant reporting date. Under ASC Topic 326, the ACL is measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. For each pool of loans, management also evaluates and applies qualitative adjustments to the calculated ACL based on several factors, including, but not limited to, changes in current and expected future economic conditions, changes in industry experience and industry loan concentrations, changes in the volume and severity of nonperforming assets, changes in lending policies and personnel and changes in the competitive and regulatory environment of the banking industry. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are individually evaluated and are excluded from the pooled loan analysis.

The ACL policy described above is supplemented by periodic reviews and validations performed by independent loan reviewers. The results of the reviews are reported to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The establishment of the ACL is significantly affected by management judgment. There is likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our ACL. Such agencies may require management to make additional provisions for estimated losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

We continue to monitor and modify our ACL as conditions warrant. No assurance can be given that our level of ACL will cover all of the losses on our loans or that future adjustments to the ACL will not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the conditions used by management to determine the current level of the ACL.

The above classifications follow regulatory guidelines and can generally be described as follows:
 
Pass loans are of satisfactory quality.
Special mention loans have an existing weakness that could cause future impairment, including the deterioration of financial ratios, past due status, questionable management capabilities and possible reduction in the collateral values.
Substandard loans have an existing specific and well-defined weakness that may include poor liquidity and deterioration of financial performance. Such loans may be past due and related deposit accounts experiencing overdrafts. Immediate corrective action is necessary.
Doubtful loans have specific weaknesses that are severe enough to make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable.
In addition, residential loans are classified using an inter-agency regulatory methodology that incorporates, among other factors, the extent of delinquencies and loan-to-value ratios.

Collateral Dependent Loans
The Company held loans that were individually evaluated for credit losses at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 for which the repayment, on the basis of our assessment at the reporting date, is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The ACL for these collateral-dependent loans is primarily based on the fair value of the underlying collateral at the reporting date. The following describes the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:
One- to four-family first mortgages are primarily secured by first liens on residential real estate.
Home equity loans and lines are primarily secured by first and junior liens on residential real estate.
Commercial real estate loans are primarily secured by office and industrial buildings, warehouses, retail shopping facilities and various special purpose properties, including hotels and restaurants.
Construction and land loans are primarily secured by residential and commercial properties, which are under construction and/or redevelopment, and by raw land.
Commercial and industrial loans considered collateral dependent are primarily secured by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.
The tables below summarize collateral dependent loans and the related ACL at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Foreclosed Assets and ORE
Foreclosed assets and ORE include real property and other assets that have been acquired as a result of foreclosure, and real property no longer used in the Bank's business. Foreclosed assets and ORE totaled $1,581,000 and 1,302,000 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These amounts are recorded in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The carrying amount of foreclosed residential real estate properties held at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 totaled $409,000 and $877,000, respectively. Loans secured by single family residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 totaled $172,000 and $446,000, respectively.

Foreclosed assets and ORE included certain bank buildings that meet the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. The carrying value of these assets totaled $212,000 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The expected timing of the sale of the properties is uncertain.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
During the course of its lending operations, the Company periodically grants concessions to its customers in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible and to minimize risk of loss. These concessions may include restructuring the terms of a customer loan to alleviate the burden of the customer’s near-term cash requirements. Loans are TDRs when the Company agrees to restructure a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties in a manner that is deemed to be a “concession”. The Company defines a concession as a modification of existing terms granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties that the Company would otherwise not consider. The concession either is granted through an agreement with the customer or is imposed by a court or by law. Concessions include modifying original loan terms to reduce or defer cash payments required as part of the loan agreement, including but not limited to:
 
a reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt,
an extension of the maturity date or dates at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics,
a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt or
a reduction of accrued interest receivable on the debt.

In its determination of whether the customer is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company considers numerous indicators, including, but not limited to:
 
whether the customer is currently in default on its existing loan, or is in an economic position where it is probable the customer will be in default on its loan in the foreseeable future without a modification,
whether the customer has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy,
whether there is substantial doubt about the customer’s ability to continue as a going concern,
whether, based on its projections of the customer’s current capabilities, the Company believes the customer’s future cash flows will be insufficient to service the debt, including interest, in accordance with the contractual terms of the existing agreement for the foreseeable future and
whether, without modification, the customer cannot obtain sufficient funds from other sources at an effective interest rate equal to the current market rate for similar debt for a non-troubled debtor.
If the Company concludes that both a concession has been granted and the concession was granted to a customer experiencing financial difficulties, the Company identifies the loan as a TDR. For purposes of the determination of an ACL, larger (i.e., TDRs with balances of $250,000 or greater) commercial TDRs are individually evaluated. The ACL for loans that are individually evaluated is based on a comparison of the recorded investment in the loan with either the expected cash flows discounted using the loan’s original effective interest rate, observable market price for the loan or the fair value of the collateral underlying certain collateral-dependent loans. Residential, consumer and smaller balance commercial TDRs are included in the Company's pooled-loan analysis to calculate the ACL and, generally, do not have a material impact on the overall ACL.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had modified loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $27.7 million, or 1% of total outstanding loans, via payment relief in the nature of principal and/or interest deferrals for 90 days. These modifications were done in accordance with Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act and the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications on Reporting for Financial Institutions Working With Customers Affected by the Coronavirus. Accordingly, these loans were not categorized as TDRs.

The defaults did not have a significant impact on our allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2020.
6. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.

The Company’s existing credit derivatives result from loan participation arrangements, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities. The Company occasionally enters into credit risk participation agreements with counterparty banks to accept a portion of the credit risk related to interest rate swaps. The agreements, which are typically executed in conjunction with a participation in a loan with the same customer, allow customers to execute an interest rate swap with one bank while allowing for the distribution of the credit risk among participating members. Collateral used to support the credit risk for the underlying lending relationship is also available to offset the risk of credit risk participations and customer derivative positions.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. As part of its efforts to accomplish this objective, the Company entered into certain interest rate swap agreements as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable rate liabilities.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate liabilities.
26


During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $1,602,000 will be reclassified as additional interest expense.

Non-designated Hedges
The Company’s existing credit derivatives result from participations in interest rate swaps provided by external lenders as part of loan participation arrangements, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain lenders which participate in loans. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized in earnings immediately.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

At and during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company was not a party to any derivative contracts.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company (either) defaults (or is capable of being declared in default) on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the company fails to maintain its status as a well or adequately capitalized institution, then the Company could be required to post additional collateral.

As of March 31, 2021, there were no derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position. Such derivatives are measured at fair value, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk. If the Company had breached any provisions at March 31, 2021, it would not have been required to settle any obligations under the agreements since the termination value was $0.

7. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The Company groups assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value in three levels as required by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Under this guidance, fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to develop those assumptions and measure fair value. The hierarchy requires companies to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels used to measure fair value are as follows:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

An asset’s or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s assets and liabilities quarterly.

Recurring Basis
Investment Securities Available for Sale
Fair values of investment securities available for sale are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. This pricing service provides pricing information by utilizing pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities bids, offers and other reference data from market research publications. If quoted prices are available in an active market, investment securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. If quoted prices are not available in an active market, fair values are estimated primarily by the use of pricing models. Level 2 investment securities are primarily comprised of mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. In certain cases, where there is limited or less transparent information provided by the Company’s third-party pricing service, fair value is estimated by the use of secondary pricing services or through the use of non-binding third-party broker quotes. Investment securities are classified within Level 3 when little or no market activity supports the fair value.
Management primarily identifies investment securities which may have traded in illiquid or inactive markets, by identifying instances of a significant decrease in the volume and frequency of trades, relative to historical levels, as well as instances of a significant widening of the bid-ask spread in the brokered markets. Investment securities that are deemed to have been trading in illiquid or inactive markets may require the use of significant unobservable inputs. For example, management may use quoted prices for similar investment securities in the absence of a liquid and active market for the investment securities being valued. As of March 31, 2021, management did not make adjustments to prices provided by the third-party pricing service as a result of illiquid or inactive markets.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Derivative assets liabilities are reported at fair value in accrued interest receivable and other assets and accrued interest payable and other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments is obtained from a third-party pricing service that uses widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company has determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair vale hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Basis
The Company records loans individually evaluated for credit losses at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Fair value is measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. For non-collateral-dependent loans, fair value is measured by present valuing expected future cash flows. Loans individually evaluated are classified as Level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from third parties of the collateral less any prior liens and when there is no observable market price.

Foreclosed assets and ORE are also recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Foreclosed assets are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell. ORE is recorded at the lower of its net book value or fair value at the date of transfer to ORE. The fair value of foreclosed assets and ORE is based on property appraisals and an analysis of similar properties available. As such, the Company classifies foreclosed and ORE assets as Level 3 assets.

The Company has segregated all financial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date as reflected in the table below.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires the disclosure of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate. The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. ASC 820 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statements. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates included herein are based on existing on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the fair value of assets and liabilities that are not required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value like premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.
Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes from the fair value estimate methods and assumptions disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to focus on significant changes in the financial condition of the Company and the Bank from December 31, 2020 through March 31, 2021 and on its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. This discussion and analysis is intended to highlight and supplement information presented elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, particularly the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in Item 1.

Forward-Looking Statements
To the extent that statements in this Form 10-Q relate to future plans, objectives, financial results or performance of the Company or Bank, these statements are deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements, which are based on management’s current information, estimates and assumptions and the current economic environment, are generally identified by the use of words such as “plan”, “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “project” or similar expressions, or by future or conditional terms such as “will”, “would”, “should”, “could”, “may”, “likely”, “probably”, or “possibly”. The Company’s or the Bank’s actual strategies and results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected due to various risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home. Given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of COVID-19 on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the national and local economies may be reopened. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, our forward-looking statements are subject to the following additional risks, uncertainties and assumptions, among others:
Demand for our products and services may decline;
If high levels of unemployment continue, our loan delinquencies, non-performing assets and loan foreclosures may increase;
Collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value;
Our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if our borrowers continue to experience financial difficulties;
As a result of the reduction in the Federal Reserve Board's target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our interest-earning assets may decline more than the decline in the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities;
A material decrease in our net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a suspension of our stock repurchase program and/or a reduction of our quarterly stock dividend;
Our cyber security risks may be increased as a result of more of our employees working remotely; and
FDIC deposit insurance premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The Company reported net income for the first quarter of 2021 of $11.9 million, or $1.41 diluted EPS, up $9.4 million compared to the the first quarter of 2020. Net income for the first quarter of 2020 totaled $2.5 million, or $0.27 diluted EPS.

Key components of the Company’s performance during the three months ended March 31, 2021 include:

Assets increased $115.7 million, or 4.5%, from December 31, 2020 to $2.7 billion at March 31, 2021.

Total loans were $2.0 billion, down $86,000, or less than 1%, from December 31, 2020.

PPP loans totaled $235.7 million, up $14.5 million, or 6.5%, from December 31, 2020.

The Company recorded a $1.7 million reversal to the allowance for loan losses primarily due to improvements in our assessment of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ALL totaled $30.0 million, or 1.51% of total loans, at March 31, 2021 compared to $33.0 million, or 1.66% of total loans, at December 31, 2020. Excluding PPP loans, the ratios of the ALL to total loans were 1.72% and 1.87% at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Nonperforming assets were down $2.7 million, or 13.5%, from the December 31, 2020.

Total deposits increased $114.5 million, or 5.2%, from $2.2 billion at December 31, 2020 to $2.3 billion at March 31, 2021.

The net interest margin was 4.14% for the first quarter of 2021, down 4 bps compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to the decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets during 2021.

The average rate paid on total interest-bearing deposits was 0.42%, down 65 bps from the first quarter of 2020.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2021 increased $702,000, or 20.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in gains on the sale of loans.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 increased $550,000, or 3.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to increases in regulatory fees (up $263,000), compensation and benefits (up $248,000), data processing and communication expense (up $167,000), and foreclosed assets expense (up $106,000), partially offset by a decrease in marketing and advertising expense (down $127,000).

COVID-19 RESPONSE
Banking operations remain unencumbered by state and local government COVID-19 restrictions. We have continued to protect our employees and customers by working remotely, enhancing cleaning procedures, and enacting several other measures to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus. State government imposed COVID-19 restrictions were relaxed in March 2021 within our Louisiana and Mississippi markets. Nearly all restrictions were removed in Mississippi, while Louisiana moved to Phase 3 of its reopening plan. Restrictions in Louisiana primarily include mask mandates and place capacity limits for certain businesses.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company funded 1,451 loans totaling $111.5 million under the Small Business Administration's ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). During the first quarter of 2020, the Company funded 3,072 PPP loans totaling $262.2 million. At March 31, 2021, the total recorded net investment in PPP loans was $235.7 million, of which 2,533 loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $79.1 million were for amounts of $150,000 or less.

To give immediate financial support to our customers, the Company began providing principal and/or interest payment deferral options in March 2020. At March 31, 2021, $27.7 million, or 1% of total loans were under deferral agreements. The level of COVID-19 related deferrals formerly totaled $558.8 million, or 28% of total loans, at June 30, 2020. Of the loans that have exited deferral agreements, $443.0 million, or 99%, were current and performing as of March 31, 2021.
FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans, Allowance for Credit Losses and Asset Quality

Loans
Loans outstanding at March 31, 2021 were $2.0 billion, down $86,000, or less than 1%, from December 31, 2020. PPP loans, included in commercial and industrial loans, increased $14.5 million, or 7%, from December 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, PPP loans totaled $235.7 million. Excluding PPP loans, loans decreased $14.5 million, or 0.8%, from December 31, 2020.
The following table summarizes the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.

During the first quarter of 2021, construction and land loan growth was offset by pay-downs across certain other segments of the loan portfolio. In particular, the Company continued to experience declines in residential mortgage loans primarily due to refinances as borrowers sought to acquire lower interest rates. Construction and land ("C&D") loan growth was primarily driven by non-residential construction projects in our New Orleans and Northshore markets.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Due to the adoption of ASC Topic 326 on January 1, 2020, management maintains, based on current and forecasted information, an ACL that reflects a current estimate of expected credit losses ("CECL") for the estimated life of the loan portfolio at reporting periods subsequent to the adoption date.

The ACL which equals the sum of the ALL and the ACL on unfunded lending commitments, is established through provisions for credit losses. Management recalculates the ACL at least quarterly to reassess the estimate of credit losses for the total portfolio at the relevant reporting date. Under ASC Topic 326, the ACL is measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. For each pool of loans, management also evaluates and applies qualitative adjustments to the calculated ACL based on several factors, including, but not limited to, changes in current and expected future economic conditions, changes in industry experience and industry loan concentrations, changes in the volume and severity of nonperforming assets, changes in lending policies and personnel and changes in the competitive and regulatory environment of the banking industry. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are individually evaluated and are excluded from the pooled loan analysis.

The ACL policy described above is supplemented by periodic reviews and validations performed by independent loan reviewers. The results of the reviews are reported to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The establishment of the ACL is significantly affected by management judgment. There is likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our ACL. Such agencies may require management to make additional provisions for estimated losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

We continue to monitor and modify our ACL as conditions warrant. No assurance can be given that our level of ACL will cover all of the losses on our loans or that future adjustments to the ACL will not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the conditions used by management to determine the current level of the ACL.

Additional Information on Loan Portfolio Composition and Allowance for Credit Losses
As the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the national, regional and local economies, management continues to proactively monitor the loan portfolio to identify potential weaknesses that may develop. Specifically, management has identified and is monitoring exposures to borrowers and industries that may be impacted more immediately and acutely than others. In many instances, management has directly reached out to specific borrowers to provide guidance and assistance as appropriate. On a portfolio level, management continues to monitor aggregate exposures to highly sensitive segments for changes in asset quality, payment performance and liquidity levels. Additionally, management is monitoring unfunded commitments, such as lines of credit and overdraft protection, to monitor liquidity and funding issues that may arise with our customers.

37


The following table provides a summary of the loan portfolio and related reserves at March 31, 2021. We have separately identified certain information regarding PPP loans which, due to the existence of full repayment guarantees from the SBA as well as the likelihood that the vast majority of such loans will be forgiven, we believe entail minimal credit risk to the Company.

Asset Quality
One of management’s key objectives has been, and continues to be, maintaining a high level of asset quality. In addition to maintaining credit standards for new loan originations, we proactively monitor loans and collection and workout processes of delinquent or problem loans. When a borrower fails to make a scheduled payment, we attempt to cure the deficiency by making personal contact with the borrower. Initial contacts are generally made within 10 days after the date payment is due. In most cases, deficiencies are promptly resolved. If the delinquency continues, late charges are assessed and additional efforts are made to collect the deficiency. All loans which are designated as “special mention,” classified or which are delinquent 90 days or more are reported to the Board of Directors of the Bank monthly. For loans where the collection of principal or interest payments is doubtful, the accrual of interest income ceases. It is our policy, with certain limited exceptions, to discontinue accruing interest and reverse any interest accrued on any loan which is 90 days or more past due. On occasion, this action may be taken earlier if the financial condition of the borrower raises significant concern with regard to their ability to service the debt in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Interest income is not accrued on these loans until the borrower’s financial condition and payment record demonstrate an ability to service the debt.
Under our allowance policy, credit losses are measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are individually evaluated for credit losses and are excluded from the pooled loan analysis. At least quarterly, management evaluates the loan portfolio to determine which loans should be individually evaluated for credit losses. Management's evaluation involves an analysis of larger (i.e., loans with balances of $250,000 or greater) commercial real estate loans, multi-family residential loans, construction and land loans and commercial and industrial loans. Third party property valuations are obtained at the time of origination for real estate secured loans. When a determination is made that a loan has deteriorated to the point of becoming a problem loan, updated valuations may be ordered to determine if a short-fall exists, which may lead to a recommendation for partial charge off or appropriate allowance allocation. Property valuations are ordered through, and are reviewed by, an appraisal officer at the Bank. The Company typically orders an “as is” valuation for collateral property if a loan is in a criticized loan classification. Loans individually evaluated for credit losses are reported to the Board of Directors monthly.

38


At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, loans individually evaluated for credit losses were $6.2 million and $9.0 million, respectively. Total loans individually evaluated for credit losses at March 31, 2021 included $1.1 million of acquired loans, of which $277,000 was acquired with deteriorated credit quality. At December 31, 2020, loan individually evaluated for credit losses included $2.4 million of acquired loans, of which $277,000 was acquired with deteriorated credit quality.

Federal regulations and our policies require that we utilize an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. We have incorporated an internal asset classification system, substantially consistent with Federal banking regulations, as a part of our credit monitoring system. Federal banking regulations set forth a classification scheme for problem and potential problem assets as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

39


At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, loans classified as substandard totaled $37.0 million and $35.3 million, respectively. There were no assets classified as doubtful at either date. For additional information, refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

A bank’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by Federal bank regulators which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. The Federal banking agencies have adopted an interagency policy statement on the allowance for loan and lease losses. The policy statement provides guidance for financial institutions on both the responsibilities of management for the assessment and establishment of allowances and guidance for banking agency examiners to use in determining the adequacy of general valuation guidelines. Generally, the policy statement recommends that institutions have effective systems and controls to identify, monitor and address asset quality problems; that management analyze all significant factors that affect the collectability of the portfolio in a reasonable manner; and that management establish acceptable allowance evaluation processes that meet the objectives set forth in the policy statement. Due to the adoption of ASC Topic 326 on January 1, 2020, management maintains, based on current and forecasted information, an ACL that reflects a current estimate of expected credit losses for the estimated life of the loan portfolio at reporting periods subsequent to the adoption date. For all reporting periods, actual losses are uncertain and dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the level of ACL may become necessary.

(2)Nonaccrual loans include originated restructured loans placed on nonaccrual totaling $5.0 million and $6.5 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Acquired restructured loans placed on nonaccrual totaled $3.7 million and $3.5 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

As previously indicated, as a result of Section 4013 of the CARES Act and recent interagency guidance issued by Federal banking regulators, modifications, such as deferrals of principal and/or interest payments, to borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic are not deemed to be TDRs if such modifications are made on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019. Such deferrals and loan modifications totaled $27.7 million, or 1% of total loans, at March 31, 2021 compared to $36.0 million, or 2% of total loans, at December 31, 2020. We will continue to follow the guidance of Federal banking regulators in making any TDR determinations.
Foreclosed assets and ORE includes real property and other assets that have been acquired as a result of foreclosure, and real property no longer used in the Bank's business. Foreclosed assets and ORE are classified as such until sold or disposed. Foreclosed assets are recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs based on third party property valuations which are obtained at the time the asset is repossessed and periodically until the property is liquidated. ORE is recorded at the lower of its net book value or fair value at the date of transfer to ORE. Foreclosed assets and ORE holding costs are charged to expense. Gains and losses on the sale of foreclosed assets and ORE are charged to operations, as incurred. Costs associated with acquiring and improving a foreclosed property or ORE are usually capitalized to the extent that the carrying value does not exceed fair value less estimated selling costs.

LIQUIDITY AND ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Liquidity Management
Liquidity management encompasses our ability to ensure that funds are available to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while also ensuring adequate cash flow exists to meet the Company’s needs, including operating, strategic and capital. The Company develops its liquidity management strategies as part of its overall asset/liability management process. Our primary sources of funds are from deposits, amortization of loans, loan prepayments and the maturity of loans, investment securities and other investments, and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and investment securities and maturing investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments can be greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company also maintains excess funds in short-term, interest-bearing assets that provide additional liquidity.

The Company uses its liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets and to meet operating expenses. At March 31, 2021, certificates of deposit maturing within the next 12 months totaled $289.7 million. Based upon historical experience, the Company anticipates that a significant portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be redeposited with us.

In addition to cash flow from loan and securities payments and prepayments as well as from sales of securities available for sale, the Company has significant borrowing capacity available to fund liquidity needs. In recent years, the Company has utilized borrowings as a cost efficient addition to deposits as a source of funds. Borrowings consist of advances from the FHLB of Dallas, of which the Company is a member. Under terms of the collateral agreement with the FHLB, the Company pledges residential mortgage loans and investment securities as well as the Company’s stock in the FHLB as collateral for such advances. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the average balance of outstanding FHLB advances was $28.4 million. At March 31, 2021, the Company had $28.1 million in total outstanding FHLB advances and had $808.8 million in additional FHLB advances available.

Asset/Liability Management
The objective of asset/liability management is to implement strategies for the funding and deployment of the Company’s financial resources that are expected to maximize soundness and profitability over time at acceptable levels of risk. Interest rate sensitivity is the potential impact of changing rate environments on both net interest income and cash flows. The Company measures its interest rate sensitivity over the near term primarily by running net interest income simulations. Our interest rate sensitivity also is monitored by management through the use of a model which generates estimates of the change in its net interest income over a range of interest rate scenarios. Based on the Company’s interest rate risk model, the table below sets forth the results of immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of March 31, 2021.

Shift in Interest Rates (in bps)% Change in Projected Net Interest Income
+3008.8%
+2005.9%
+1003.0%
-100(4.3)%
The actual impact of changes in interest rates will depend on many factors. These factors include the Company’s ability to achieve expected growth in earning assets and maintain a desired mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the actual timing of asset and liability repricing, the magnitude of interest rate changes and corresponding movement in interest rate spreads and the level of success of asset/liability management strategies.
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company entered into certain interest rate swap agreements as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. During 2021 and 2020, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cost associated with existing variable rate liabilities. Refer to Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the effects of the derivative financial instruments on the consolidated financial statements.

44


Off-Balance Sheet Activities
To meet the financing needs of its customers, the Bank issues financial instruments which represent conditional obligations that are not recognized, wholly or in part, in the statements of financial condition. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such instruments expose the Company to varying degrees of credit and interest rate risk in much the same way as funded loans. The same credit policies are used in these commitments as for on-balance sheet instruments. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company's allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments totaled $1.4 million.
The following table summarizes our outstanding commitments to originate loans and to advance additional amounts pursuant to outstanding letters of credit, lines of credit and undisbursed construction loans as of the periods indicated.

 Contract Amount
(dollars in thousands)March 31, 2021December 31, 2020
Standby letters of credit$4,782 $5,781 
Available portion of lines of credit288,625 266,349 
Undisbursed portion of loans in process114,571 99,527 
Commitments to originate loans130,666 139,471 

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 of the commitments are expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amounts generally represent future cash requirements.
Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.
The Company is subject to certain claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $11.9 million, up $9.4 million, or 380.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2020. Diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2021 was $1.41, up $1.14 compared to the first quarter of 2020. The increase in net income for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to the change in the provision for loans losses and an increase in net interest income. During the the first quarter of 2021, the Company released $1.7 million in provision for loan losses and recognized $3.3 million of deferred PPP lender fees in loan income. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded $6.3 million in provision for loan losses and did not hold any PPP loans.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company’s net interest income is largely determined by our net interest spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s tax-equivalent net interest spread was 3.98% and 3.86% for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Net interest income totaled $25.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, up $3.8 million, or 17.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to the recognition of PPP lender fees. Loan income from deferred PPP lender fees totaled $3.3 million during the first quarter of 2021. The Company began originating PPP loans during the second quarter of 2020. Unrecognized PPP lender fees totaled $8.3 million at March 31, 2021 and will be amortized into interest income over the life of the loans.

The Company’s tax-equivalent net interest margin, which is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, was 4.14% and 4.18% for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the same periods, the average loan yield was 5.21% and 5.43%, respectively. Outstanding PPP loans positively impacted the the net interest margin by 26 bps and the average loan yield by 18 bps during the first quarter of 2021.

The net interest margin was also impacted by the increase in average cash and cash equivalents when comparing the first quarters of 2021 and 2020. The increase in average cash and cash equivalents negatively impacted the net interest margin and the average yield on total interest-earning assets by 27 and 30 bps, respectively. Average cash and cash equivalents are reflected in the increases in the average balances of other interest-earning assets. Average other interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2021 were up $155.8 million compared to the average of $28.0 million during the first quarter of 2020.

Acquired loan discount accretion included in interest income totaled $736,000 and $810,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $4.1 million, up $702,000, or 20.9%, from $3.4 million earned for the same period in 2020.

Gains on the sale of loans for the first quarter of 2021 were up $871,000, or 293.3%, from the comparable period in 2020. As interest rates remain relatively low, the Company has continued to benefit from the increase in demand for mortgage loan originations and refinances.

Income from bank card fees for the first quarter of 2021 was up $169,000, or 14.9%, from the comparable period in 2020 primarily due to a general increase in the level of customer spending.

Income from service fees and charges for the first quarter of 2021 was down $392,000, or 26.8%, from the comparable period in 2020. Service fees and charges decreased primarily due to a decline in income from overdraft fees on deposit accounts.

48


Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $16.0 million, up $550,000, or 3.6%, from the first quarter of 2020.

Regulatory fees for the the first quarter of 2021 were up $263,000, or 226.7%, from the comparable period in 2020 primarily due to an increase in FDIC assessments. FDIC assessment credits were exhausted during the first quarter of 2020.

Compensation and benefits expense for the first quarter of 2021 was up $248,000, or 2.6%, from the comparable period in 2020 primarily due to an increase in incentive pay and an increase in health insurance cost in the first quarter of 2021.

Data processing and communication expense for the first quarter of 2021 was up $167,000, or 9.2%, from the comparable period in 2020 primarily due to increased costs of software and service contracts.

Foreclosed assets expense for the first quarter of 2021 was up $106,000, or 623.5%, from the comparable period in 2020 primarily due an increase in holding costs and a decrease in net gains on the sale of foreclosed assets in the first quarter of 2021.

Marketing and advertising expense for the first quarter of 2021 was down $127,000, or 42.6%, from the comparable period in 2020 primarily due to a general decline across all marketing activities.

Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2021 increased $2.4 million, or 463.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in taxable earnings. The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020 was 19.9% and 17.5%, respectively.
