Note 1 - Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Horizon Bancorp, Inc. (“Horizon” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Horizon Bank (“Horizon Bank” or the “Bank”). Horizon Bank (formerly known as “Horizon Bank, N.A.”) was a national association until its conversion to an Indiana commercial bank effective June 23, 2017. All inter–company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year of 2020 or 2019. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of Horizon’s management, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Horizon for the periods presented. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in Horizon’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Horizon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Horizon as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited balance sheet as of that date.
On July 16, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program for up to 2,250,000 shares of Horizon’s issued and outstanding common stock, no par value. As of September 30, 2020, Horizon had repurchased a total of 373,323 shares at an average price per share of $15.86. In addition to the stock repurchase program, Horizon agreed to repurchase 1,000,000 shares at a price per share of $15.19 from an individual shareholder on March 6, 2020.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders (net income less dividend requirements for preferred stock and accretion of preferred stock discount) by the weighted–average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
The following table shows computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

There were 492,273 and 273,776 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were non–dilutive. There were 340,540 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were non–dilutive.
Horizon has share-based employee compensation plans, which are described in the notes to the financial statements included in the December 31, 2019 Annual Report on Form 10–K.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016–13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments – On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016–13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“CECL”). The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held to maturity securities. It also applies to off–balance sheet (“OBS”) credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar agreements). In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance, rather than as a write–down, on available for sale debt securities management does not intend to sell or believe that it is not more likely than not they will be required to sell.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and OBS credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019, are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $15.6 million as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”), previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) and accounted for under ASC 310–30. In accordance with the standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. On January 1, 2020, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets was adjusted to reflect the addition of $2.8 million of allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans.
The following table illustrates the impact of ASC 326.

Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts, and deferred loan fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable totaling $13.4 million at September 30, 2020 was excluded from the ACL calculation and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the effective yield method without anticipating prepayments.
From time to time, the Bank obtains information that may lead management to believe that the collection of payments may be doubtful on a particular loan. In recognition of this, it is management’s policy to convert the loan from an “earning asset” to a non–accruing loan. The entire balance of a loan is considered delinquent if the minimum payment contractually required to be made is not received by the specified due date. Further, it is management’s policy to generally place a loan on a non–accrual status when the payment is delinquent in excess of 90 days or the loan has had the accrual of interest discontinued by management. The officer responsible for the loan and the Chief Commercial Banking Officer and/or the Chief Operations Officer must review all loans placed on non–accrual status. Subsequent payments on non–accrual loans are recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded only after principal recovery is reasonably assured. Non–accrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal in accordance with the loan terms. The Company requires a period of satisfactory performance of not less than six months before returning a non–accrual loan to accrual status.
Consistent with regulatory guidance, charge–offs on all loan segments are taken when specific loans, or portions thereof, are considered uncollectible. The Company’s policy is to promptly charge these loans off in the period the uncollectible loss is reasonably determined.
For all loan portfolio segments except 1–4 family residential properties and consumer, the Company promptly charges–off loans, or portions thereof, when available information confirms that specific loans are uncollectible based on information that includes, but is not limited to, (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy, that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. For impaired loans that are considered to be solely collateral dependent, a partial charge–off is recorded when a loss has been confirmed by an updated appraisal or other appropriate valuation of the collateral.
The Company charges–off 1–4 family residential and consumer loans, or portions thereof, when the Company reasonably determines the amount of the loss. The Company adheres to timeframes established by applicable regulatory guidance which provides for the charge–down or specific allocation of family first and junior lien mortgages to the net realizable value less costs to sell when the value is known but no later than when a loan is 180 days past due. Pursuant to such guidelines, the Company also charges–off unsecured open–end loans when the loan is contractually 90 days past due, and charges down to the net realizable value other secured loans when they are contractually 90 days past due. Loans at these respective delinquency thresholds for which the Company can clearly document that the loan is both well–secured and in the process of collection, such that collection in full will occur regardless of delinquency status, are not charged off.
A loan becomes impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is classified as impaired, the degree of impairment must be recognized by estimating future cash flows from the debtor. The present value of these cash flows is computed at a discount rate based on the interest rate contained in the loan agreement. However, if a particular loan has a determinable market value for its collateral, the creditor may use that value. Also, if the loan is secured and considered collateral dependent, the creditor may use the fair value of the collateral. Interest income on loans individually classified as impaired is recognized on a cash basis after all past due and current principal payments have been made.
Smaller–balance, homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by 1–4 family residences, residential construction loans, automobile, home equity, second mortgage loans and mortgage warehouse loans. Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other properties are evaluated individually for impairment. When analysis of borrower operating results and financial condition indicate that underlying cash flows of a

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
borrower’s business are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment. Often this is associated with a delay or shortfall in payments of 30 days or more. Loans are generally moved to non–accrual status when they are 90 days or more past due. These loans are often considered impaired. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged–off when deemed uncollectible.
Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms, including troubled debt restructurings, are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include the three methods described above.
Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans
The Company has purchased loans, some of which have experienced credit deterioration since origination. PCD loans are recorded at the amount paid. An ACL on loans is determined using the same methodology as other loans held for investment. The initial ACL on loans determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and ACL on loans becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the ACL on loans are recorded through credit loss expense.
The Company adopted this ASU using the prospective transition approach for PCD loans previously accounted for under ASC 310–30. In accordance with the standard, we did not assess whether PCI loans met the criteria of PCD as of the date of adoption and all loans previously classified as PCI were updated to the PCD classification. Pools utilized for PCI accounting under ASC 310–30 were not considered since the Company did not have PCI pools at the time of adoption. PCD loans were assessed using prior specific loan reviews for the initial PCD loan ACL. At the date of adoption, no securities were determined to be PCD.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The ACL on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged–off against the allowance when management believes the loan balance is confirmed to no longer be collectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged–off and expected to be charged–off.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan–specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, changes in economic conditions, or other relevant factors.
The Company considers the following when estimating credit losses: 1) available information relevant to assessing the collectibility of cash flows including internal information, external information or a combination of both relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts; 2) relevant qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the environment in which the Bank operates and factors specific to the borrower; 3) off–balance sheet credit exposures; and credit support.
ACL on loans is measured on a collective basis and reflects impairment in groups of loans aggregated on the basis of similar risk characteristics which may include any one or a combination of the following: internal credit ratings, risk ratings or classification, financial asset type, collateral type, size, industry of the borrower, historical or expected credit loss patterns, and reasonable and supportable forecast periods. The ACL for a specific portfolio segment is computed by multiplying the loss rate by the amortized cost balance of the segment with adjustments for other qualitative factors as described above. As appropriate, newer credit products or portfolios with limited historical loss may use applicable external data for determining the ACL until experience justifies that sufficient product maturity supports the estimate of expected credit losses.

Pursuant to ASC 326–20–30–9, an entity shall not rely solely on past events to estimate expected credit losses, and should consider adjustments to historical information to reflect the extent to which management expects current conditions and forecasted conditions to differ from the periods utilized for the historical loss rate calculation. Management has incorporated an adjustment of the historical loss rate calculated within the model to reflect current and forecasted condition and has applied this adjustment on a qualitative factor basis to the aggregate pool loss rate.
The qualitative adjustment is based on a combination of external econometric data and internal factors such as portfolio composition, changes in management, changes in loan policy and other factors. The economic forecast is based in part on economic indexes and quantitative matrices with a six to twelve month forecast. The qualitative adjustment is calculated based on current and forecasted conditions and evaluated each quarter by management, and therefore is dynamic in nature. As a result of the forecast being applied as a qualitative factor and adjusted quarterly, no reversion to the historical loss rate is necessary, as the historical base loss rate is preserved in the calculation of “all in” loss rate.
Specific reserves reflect impairment on loans identified for evaluation or individually considered non–performing, including troubled debt restructurings and receivables where the Company has determined foreclosure is probable. These loans no longer have similar risk characteristics to collectively evaluated loans due to changes in credit risk, borrower circumstances, recognition of write–offs, or cash collections that have been fully applied to principal on the basis of non–accrual policies. At a minimum, the population of loans subject to individual evaluation include individual loans and leases where it is probable we will be unable to collect all amounts due, according to the original contractual terms. These include commercial impaired loans, jumbo residential mortgages (as defined), and jumbo home equity loans with a balance exceeding $250,000, and other loans as determined by management. ACL for residential and consumer loans are, primarily, determined by meaningful pools of similar loans and are evaluated on a quarterly basis.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.
The provision for credit losses on loans on individually evaluated loans is recognized on the fair value of collateral adjusted for estimated costs to sell, the basis of the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate or the observable market price as of the relevant date.

Portfolio segment is defined as a level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its allowance for credit losses. Class of financing receivable is defined as a group of financing receivables determined on the basis of both of the following, 1) risk characteristics of the financing receivable, and 2) an entity’s method for monitoring and assessing credit risk. Generally, the Bank does not move loans from a revolving loan to a term loan other than construction loans. Construction loans are reviewed and rewritten prior to being originated as a term loan.

Commercial
Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and, secondarily, on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, and may incorporate a personal guarantee. However, some short–term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.
Commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and, secondarily, as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves larger loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets, the general economy, or fluctuations in interest rates. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of property type, and are monitored for concentrations of credit. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, cash flow, and risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner–occupied commercial real estate loans versus non–owner occupied loans.
Real Estate and Consumer
With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1–4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan–to–value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1–4 family residences, and consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer loans are unsecured, such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.
Mortgage Warehousing
Horizon’s mortgage warehouse lending has specific mortgage companies as customers of Horizon Bank. Individual mortgage loans originated by these mortgage companies are funded as a secured borrowing with a pledge of collateral under Horizon’s agreement with the mortgage company. Each mortgage loan funded by Horizon undergoes an underwriting review by Horizon to the end investor guidelines and is assigned to Horizon until the loan is sold to the secondary market by the mortgage company. In addition, Horizon takes possession of each original note and forwards such note to the end investor once the mortgage company has sold the loan. At the time a loan is transferred to the secondary market, the mortgage company reacquires the loan under its option within the agreement. Due to the reacquire feature contained in the agreement, the transaction does not qualify as a sale and therefore is accounted for as a secured borrowing with a pledge of collateral pursuant to the agreement with the mortgage company. When the individual loan is sold to the end investor by the mortgage company, the proceeds from the sale of the loan are received by Horizon and used to pay off the loan balance with Horizon along with any accrued interest and any related fees. The remaining balance from the sale is forwarded to the mortgage company. These individual loans typically are sold by the mortgage company within 30 days and are seldom held more than 90 days. Interest income is accrued during this period and collected at the time each loan is sold. Fee income for each loan sold is collected when the loan is sold, and no costs are deferred due to the term between each loan funding and related payoff, which is typically less than 30 days.
Based on the agreements with each mortgage company, at any time a mortgage company can reacquire from Horizon its outstanding loan balance on an individual mortgage and regain possession of the original note. Horizon also has the option to request that the mortgage company reacquire an individual mortgage. Should this occur, Horizon would return the original note and reassign the assignment of the mortgage to the mortgage company. Also, in the event that the end investor would not be able to honor the purchase commitment and the mortgage company would not be able to reacquire its loan on an individual mortgage, Horizon would be able to exercise its rights under the agreement.

Determining the Contractual Term
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.
Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”)
A loan for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, is considered to be a TDR. The ACL on loans on a TDR is measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment, except that the original interest rate is used to discount the expected cash flows, not the rate specified within the restructuring.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act provides all banks with the option to elect either or both of the following from March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the termination of the national emergency:
i.to suspend the requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to the COVID–19 pandemic that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR; and/or
ii.to suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of the effects of the COVID–19 pandemic as being a TDR, including impairment for accounting purposes.
If a bank elects a suspension noted above, the suspension (i) will be effective for the term of the loan modification, but solely with respect to any modification, including a forbearance arrangement, an interest rate modification, a repayment plan, and any other similar arrangement that defers or delays the payment of principal or interest, that occurs during the applicable period for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (ii) will not apply to any adverse impact on the credit of a borrower that is not related to the COVID–19 pandemic.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The Company determines the estimated amount of expected credit extensions based on historical usage to calculate the amount of exposure for a loss estimate. After review of the expected credit losses on OBS, the Company determined the amount not being recorded as immaterial at this time.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Available for Sale Securities
For available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities available for sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recorded in other comprehensive income.

17

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
Changes in the ACL are recorded as provision for, or reversal of, credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available for sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Held to Maturity Securities
For held to maturity securities, the Company conducts an assessment of its held to maturity securities at the time of purchase and on at least an annual basis to ensure such investment securities remain within appropriate levels of risk and continue to perform satisfactorily in fulfilling its obligations. The Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the securities and credit ratings or financial condition of the issuer. If available, the Company obtains a credit rating for issuers from the Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”) for consideration. If this assessment indicates that a material credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded for the credit loss. After completing this assessment, management determined any credit losses as of September 30, 2020 were not material to the consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU No. 2017–04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment – On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the provision of ASU No. 2017–04, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This ASU eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative test.
At each reporting date between annual goodwill impairment tests, Horizon considers potential indicators of impairment. Given the current economic uncertainty and volatility surrounding COVID–19, Horizon assessed whether the events and circumstances resulted in it being more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying value. Impairment indicators considered comprised the condition of the economy and banking industry; government intervention and regulatory updates; the impact of recent events to financial performance and cost factors of the reporting unit; performance of the Company’s stock and other relevant events. Horizon further considered the amount by which fair value exceeded book value in the most recent quantitative analysis and sensitivities performed. At the conclusion of the assessment, the Company determined that as of September 30, 2020 it was more likely than not that the fair value exceeded its carrying values. Horizon will continue to monitor developments regarding the COVID–19 pandemic and measures implemented in response to the pandemic, market capitalization, overall economic conditions and any other triggering events or circumstances that may indicate an impairment of goodwill in the future. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU No. 2018–13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement – On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the provision of ASU 2018–13, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The amendment removes certain disclosures required by Topic 820 related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The update also adds certain disclosure requirements related to changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, the Company may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if we determine that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Acquisitions
Salin Bancshares, Inc.
On March 26, 2019, Horizon completed the acquisition of Salin Bancshares, Inc. (“Salin”), an Indiana corporation, and Horizon Bank’s acquisition of Salin Bank and Trust Company (“Salin Bank”), an Indiana commercial bank and wholly–owned subsidiary of Salin, through mergers effective March 26, 2019. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Salin received 23,907.5 shares of Horizon common stock and $87,417.17 in cash for each outstanding share of Salin common stock. Salin shares outstanding at the closing to be exchanged were 275, and the shares of Horizon common stock issued to Salin shareholders totaled 6,563,697. The Salin shareholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares. Based upon the March 25, 2019 closing price of $15.65 per share of Horizon common stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the merger the transaction had an implied valuation of approximately $126.7 million. The Company incurred approximately $5.6 million in costs related to the acquisition. These expenses are classified in the non–interest expense section of the income statement and are primarily located in the data processing, professional fees, outside services and consultants and other expense line items. As a result of the acquisition, the Company was able to increase its deposit base and reduce transaction costs. The Company also expects to reduce costs through economies of scale.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on their current estimated fair values on the date of the acquisition.

The Company acquired various loans in the acquisition that had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination

and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected.
Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include information such as past–due and non–accrual status, borrower credit scores and recent loan–to–value percentages. Purchased credit–impaired loans at the acquisition date, were accounted for under the accounting guidance for loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality (ASC 310–30) and initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for credit losses related to these loans was not carried over and recorded at the acquisition date. Management estimated the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition using our internal risk models, which incorporated the estimate of current assumptions, such as default rates, severity and prepayment speeds.
The following table details the acquired loans that are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310–30 as of March 26, 2019.
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition$22,672 
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable differences)6,694 
Expected cash flows at acquisition15,978 
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable discount)735 
Fair value of acquired loans accounted for under ASC310-30$15,243 
Estimates of certain loans, those for which specific credit–related deterioration has occurred since origination, were recorded at fair value, reflecting the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. Income recognition of these loans is based on reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected.
The results of operations of Salin have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information, and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary. While these securities are held in the available for sale portfolio and held to maturity, Horizon intends, and has the ability, to hold them until the earlier of a recovery in fair value or maturity.

Note 5 – Accounting for Certain Loans Acquired in a Transfer
The Company has acquired loans in acquisitions, whereby the transferred loans had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected.
Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include information such as past–due and non–accrual status, borrower credit scores and recent loan–to–value percentages prior to January 1, 2020. Purchased credit–impaired loans are accounted for under the accounting guidance for loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality (ASC 310–30) and initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for credit losses related to these loans is not carried over and recorded at the acquisition date. Management estimated the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition using our internal risk models, which incorporate the estimate of current key assumptions, such as default rates, severity and prepayment speeds.

The Company utilized the Cumulative Loss Rate method in determining expected future credit losses. The loss rate method measures the amount of loan charge–offs, net of recoveries, (“loan losses”) recognized over the life of a pool and compares those loan losses to the outstanding loan balance of that pool as of a specific point in time (“pool date”).
To estimate a CECL loss rate for the pool, management first identifies the loan losses recognized between the pool date and the reporting date for the pool and determines which loan losses were related to loans outstanding at the pool date. The loss rate method then divides the loan losses recognized on loans outstanding as of the pool date by the outstanding loan balance as of the pool date.
The Company’s expected loss estimate is anchored in historical credit loss experience, with an emphasis on all available portfolio data. The Company's historical look–back period includes January 2012 through the current period, on a monthly basis. When historical credit loss experience is not sufficient for a specific portfolio, the Company may supplement its own portfolio data with external models or data.
Qualitative reserves reflect management’s overall estimate of the extent to which current expected credit losses on collectively evaluated loans will differ from historical loss experience. The analysis takes into consideration other analytics performed within the organization, such as enterprise and concentration management, along with other credit–related analytics as deemed appropriate. Management attempts to quantify qualitative reserves whenever possible.
The Company’s CECL estimate applies to a forecast that incorporates macroeconomic trends and other environmental factors. Management utilized National, Regional and Local Leading Economic Indexes, as well as management judgment, as the basis for the forecast period. The historical loss rate was utilized as the base rate, and qualitative adjustments were utilized to reflect the forecast and other relevant factors.
The Company segments the loan portfolio into pools based on the following risk characteristics: financial asset type, loan purpose, collateral type, loan characteristics, credit characteristics, outstanding loan balances, contractual terms and prepayment assumptions, industry of the borrower and concentrations, and historical or expected credit loss patterns.
The $17.7 million ACL provision included special allocations related to the potential impact due to the nature and characteristics on certain loan types including, non–owner occupied retail, leisure and hospitality, and unstabilized commercial real estate while continuing allocations for hotels and restaurants, as a result of the COVID–19 business restrictions implemented by the Federal Government and the states in which Horizon operates (Indiana and Michigan). Extensive analysis and monitoring of these portfolios has been undertaken and, while no loss has been specifically identified, the risks to certain borrowers are elevated and, therefore, the special allocation was deemed prudent.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
Loans modified as TDRs generally consist of allowing borrowers to defer scheduled principal payments and make interest only payments for a specified period of time at the stated interest rate of the original loan agreement or lower payments due to a modification of the loans’ contractual terms. TDRs that continue to accrue interest are individually monitored on a monthly basis and evaluated for impairment annually and transferred to non–accrual status when it is probable that any remaining principal and interest payments due on the loan will not be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. TDRs that subsequently default are individually evaluated for impairment at the time of default.
At September 30, 2020, the type of concessions the Company has made on restructured loans has been temporary rate reductions and/or reductions in monthly payments, and there have been no restructured loans with modified recorded balances. Any modification to a loan that is a concession and is not in the normal course of lending is considered a restructured loan. A restructured loan is returned to accruing status after six consecutive payments but is still reported as TDR unless the loan bears interest at a market rate. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $4.5 million in TDRs, $1.8 million were performing according to the restructured terms, and one TDR was returned to accrual status during the first nine months of 2020. There were $117,000 of specific reserves allocated to TDRs at September 30, 2020 based on the discounted cash flows or, when appropriate, the fair value of the collateral. These TDRs are exclusive of loans modified under the CARES Act during the first nine months of 2020.

Loans Modified under the CARES Act
The Bank has elected (i) to suspend the requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to the COVID–19 pandemic that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR; and (ii) to suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of the effects of COVID–19 pandemic as being a TDR, including impairment for accounting purposes. At September 30, 2020, the Bank modified loans totaling $160.1 million which qualify for treatment under the CARES Act.
Collateral Dependent Financial Assets
A collateral dependent financial loan relies solely on the operation or sale of the collateral for repayment. In evaluating the overall risk associated with a loan, the Company considers character, overall financial condition and resources, and payment record of the borrower; the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors; and the nature and degree of protection provided by the cash flow and value of any underlying collateral. However, as other sources of repayment become inadequate over time, the significance of the collateral’s value increases and the loan may become collateral dependent.

The entire balance of a loan is considered delinquent if the minimum payment contractually required to be made is not received by the specified due date.
Horizon Bank’s processes for determining credit quality differ slightly depending on whether a new loan or a renewed loan is being underwritten, or whether an existing loan is being re-evaluated for credit quality. The latter usually occurs upon receipt of current financial information or other pertinent data that would trigger a change in the loan grade.
For new and renewed commercial loans, the Bank’s Credit Department, which acts independently of the loan officer, assigns the credit quality grade to the loan. Loan grades for loans with an aggregate credit exposure that exceeds the authorities in the respective markets (ranging from $1,000,000 to $3,500,000) are validated by the Loan Committee, which is chaired by the Chief Commercial Banking Officer (“CCBO”).
Commercial loan officers are responsible for reviewing their loan portfolios and reporting any adverse material change to the CCBO or Loan Committee. When circumstances warrant a change in the credit quality grade, loan officers are required to notify the CCBO and the Credit Department of the change in the loan grade. Downgrades are accepted immediately by the CCBO, however, lenders must present their factual information to either the Loan Committee or the CCBO when recommending an upgrade.
The CCBO, or his designee, meets regularly with loan officers to discuss the status of past-due loans and classified loans. These meetings are also designed to give the loan officers an opportunity to identify an existing loan that should be downgraded to a classified grade.
Monthly, senior management meets with the Watch Committee, which reviews all of the past due, classified, and impaired loans and the relative trends of these assets. This committee also reviews the actions taken by management regarding foreclosure mitigation, loan extensions, troubled debt restructures, other real estate owned and personal property repossessions. The information reviewed in this meeting acts as a precursor for developing management’s analysis of the adequacy of the Allowance for Credit Losses for loans.

For residential real estate and consumer loans, Horizon uses a grading system based on delinquency. Loans that are 90 days or more past due, on non–accrual, or are classified as a TDR are graded “Substandard.” After being 90 to 120 days delinquent a loan is charged–off unless it is well secured and in the process of collection. If the latter case exists, the loan is placed on non–accrual. Occasionally a mortgage loan may be graded as “Special Mention.” When this situation arises, it is because the characteristics of the loan and the borrower fit the definition of a Risk Grade 5 described below, which is normally used for grading commercial loans. Loans not graded Substandard are considered Pass.
Horizon Bank employs a nine–grade rating system to determine the credit quality of commercial loans. The first five grades represent acceptable quality, and the last four grades mirror the criticized and classified grades used by the bank regulatory agencies (special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss). Loan grade definitions are reviewed annually via the approval of the overall loan policy. The most recent review and approval of the loan policy was in October 2020. The loan grade definitions are detailed below.

Risk Grade 1: Excellent (Pass)
Loans secured by liquid collateral, such as certificates of deposit, reputable bank letters of credit, or other cash equivalents or loans to any publicly held company with a current long–term debt rating of A or better and meeting defined key financial metric ranges.

Risk Grade 2: Good (Pass)
Loans to businesses that have strong financial statements containing an unqualified opinion from a CPA firm and at least three consecutive years of profits; loans supported by unaudited financial statements containing strong balance sheets, five consecutive years of profits, a five year satisfactory relationship with the Bank, and key balance sheet and income statement trends that are either stable or positive; loans secured by publicly traded marketable securities with required margins where there is no impediment to liquidation; loans to individuals backed by liquid personal assets and unblemished credit histories; or loans to publicly held companies with current long–term debt ratings of Baa or better and meeting defined key financial metric ranges.

Risk Grade 3: Satisfactory (Pass)
Loans supported by financial statements (audited or unaudited) that indicate average or slightly below average risk and having some deficiency or vulnerability to changing economic conditions; loans with some weakness but offsetting features of other support are readily available; loans that are meeting the terms of repayment, but which may be susceptible to deterioration if adverse factors are encountered and meeting defined key financial metric ranges. Loans may be graded Satisfactory when there is no recent information on which to base a current risk evaluation and the following conditions apply:
At inception, the loan was properly underwritten, did not possess an unwarranted level of credit risk, and the loan met the above criteria for a risk grade of Excellent, Good, or Satisfactory;
At inception, the loan was secured with collateral possessing a loan value adequate to protect the Bank from loss.
The loan has exhibited two or more years of satisfactory repayment with a reasonable reduction of the principal balance.
During the period that the loan has been outstanding, there has been no evidence of any credit weakness. Some examples of weakness include slow payment, lack of cooperation by the borrower, breach of loan covenants, or the borrower is in an industry known to be experiencing problems. If any of these credit weaknesses is observed, a lower risk grade may be warranted.

Risk Grade 4 Satisfactory/Monitored:
Loans in this category are considered to be of acceptable credit quality, but contain greater credit risk than Satisfactory rated loans and meet defined key financial metric ranges. Borrower displays acceptable liquidity, leverage, and earnings performance within the Bank’s minimum underwriting guidelines. The level of risk is acceptable but conditioned on the proper level of loan officer supervision. Loans that normally fall into this grade include acquisition, construction and development loans and income producing properties that have not reached stabilization.

Risk Grade 4W Management Watch:
Loans in this category are considered to be of acceptable quality and meet defined key financial metric ranges, but with above normal risk. Borrower displays potential indicators of weakness in the primary source of repayment resulting in a
35

Table of Contents
HORIZON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
higher reliance on secondary sources of repayment. Balance sheet may exhibit weak liquidity and/or high leverage. There is inconsistent earnings performance without the ability to sustain adverse economic conditions. Borrower may be operating in a declining industry or the property type, as for a commercial real estate loan, may be high risk or in decline. These loans require an increased level of loan officer supervision and monitoring to assure that any deterioration is addressed in a timely fashion. Commercial construction loans are graded as 4W Management Watch until the projects are completed and stabilized.

Risk Grade 5: Special Mention
Loans which possess some temporary (normally less than one year) credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserves close attention. Such loans pose an unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan by adversely impacting the future repayment ability of the borrower. The key distinctions of a Special Mention classification are that (1) it is indicative of an unwarranted level of risk and (2) weaknesses are considered “potential,” not “defined,” impairments to the primary source of repayment. These loans may be to borrowers with adverse trends in financial performance, collateral value and/or marketability, or balance sheet strength and must meet defined key financial metric ranges.

Risk Grade 6: Substandard
One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified Substandard:
Loans which possess a defined credit weakness. The likelihood that a loan will be paid from the primary source of repayment is uncertain. Financial deterioration is under way and very close attention is warranted to ensure that the loan is collected without loss.
Loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor.
The primary source of repayment is gone, and the Bank is forced to rely on a secondary source of repayment, such as collateral liquidation or guarantees.
Loans have a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.
Unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment.
The borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal; however, it continues to make interest payments.
The lender is forced into a subordinated or unsecured position due to flaws in documentation.
Loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms, and collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to the normal loan terms.
The lender is seriously contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to the apparent deterioration in the loan.
There is a significant deterioration in market conditions to which the borrower is highly vulnerable.
The borrower meets defined key financial metric ranges.

Risk Grade 7: Doubtful
One or more of the following characteristics may be present in loans classified Doubtful:
Loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard. However, based on existing conditions, these weaknesses make full collection of principal highly improbable.
The primary source of repayment is gone, and there is considerable doubt as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment.
The possibility of loss is high but because of certain important pending factors which may strengthen the loan, loss classification is deferred until the exact status of repayment is known.
The borrower meets defined key financial metric ranges.

Risk Grade 8: Loss
Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets is not feasible. Loans will be classified Loss when it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future.

Note 8 – Loan Servicing

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others totaled approximately $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The aggregate fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights was approximately $11.7 million and $14.4 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, compared to the carrying values of $11.7 million and $14.3 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Comparable market values and a valuation model that calculates the present value of future cash flows were used to estimate fair value. For purposes of measuring impairment, risk characteristics including product type, investor type and interest rates, were used to stratify the originated mortgage servicing rights.

The Bank recorded additional impairment of approximately $1.5 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Bank recorded additional impairment of approximately $192,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019.


Note 9 – Goodwill

Goodwill acquired during the period— 31,358

In accordance with ASC 350–20, the Company conducts a goodwill impairment test at least annually, or more frequently as events occur or circumstances change that would more–likely–than–not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount. In the second quarter of 2020, the onset of the COVID–19 pandemic prompted the Company to assess qualitative and quantitative factors to determine whether it was more–likely–than–not the fair value of the Company was less than the carrying amount. The Company assessed relevant events and circumstances, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, changes in the composition or carrying amount of assets and liabilities, the market price of the Company’s common stock and other relevant facts. The Company performed both a market capitalization approach and a discounted cash flow approach to determine the fair value of the Company during the second quarter of 2020 which resulted in no goodwill impairment.

The Company updated the analysis above during the third quarter of 2020 which resulted with no goodwill impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Note 11 – Subordinated Notes
On June 24, 2020, Horizon issued $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% fixed–to–floating rate subordinated notes (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes mature on July 1, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”). From and including the date of original issuance to, but excluding, July 1, 2025 or the date of earlier redemption (the “fixed rate period”), the Notes bear interest at an initial rate of 5.625% per annum, payable semi–annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2021. The last interest payment date for the fixed rate period will be July 1, 2025. From and including July 1, 2025 to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or the date of earlier redemption (the “floating rate period”), the Notes bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Benchmark rate (which is expected to be Three–Month Term SOFR), plus 549 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July1, and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2025. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Benchmark rate is less than zero, the Benchmark rate shall be deemed to be zero.
Horizon may, at its option, beginning with the interest payment date of July 1, 2025 and on any interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part. The Notes will not otherwise be redeemable by Horizon prior to maturity, unless certain events occur. The redemption price for any redemption is 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Any early redemption of the Notes will be subject to the receipt of the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to the extent then required under applicable laws or regulations, including capital regulations.
The Notes are unsecured subordinated obligations, and rank pari passu, or equally, with all of Horizon's future unsecured subordinated debt and are junior to all existing and future senior debt. The Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of Horizon's subsidiaries, including the deposit liabilities and claims of other creditors of Horizon Bank, and are effectively subordinated to Horizon’s existing and future secured indebtedness. There is no sinking fund for the Notes. The Notes are obligations of Horizon only and are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any of Horizon’s subsidiaries.

Note 12 – Derivative Financial Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges – As a strategy to maintain acceptable levels of exposure to the risk of changes in future cash flow due to interest rate fluctuations, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of its floating rate debt. The agreements provide for the Company to receive interest from the counterparty at three months LIBOR and to pay interest to the counterparty at a fixed rate of 4.20% on a notional amount of $12.0 million at September 30, 2020 and a weighted average fixed rate of 4.03% on a notional amount of $15.5 million at December 31, 2019. Under the agreements, the Company pays or receives the net interest amount monthly, with the monthly settlements included in interest expense.
The Company assumed additional interest rate swap agreements as the result of the LaPorte acquisition in July 2016. The agreements provide for the Company to receive interest from the counterparty at one month LIBOR and to pay interest to the counterparty at a fixed rate of 2.62% on a notional amount of $10.0 million at September 30, 2020 and at a weighted average fixed rate of 2.31% on a notional amount of $30.0 million at December 31, 2019. Under the agreements, the Company pays or receives the net interest amount monthly, with the monthly settlements included in interest expense.
On July 20, 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for an additional portion of its floating rate debt. The agreement provides for the Company to receive interest from the counterparty at one month LIBOR and to pay interest to the counterparty at a rate of 2.81% on a notional amount of $50.0 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Under the agreement, the Company pays or receives the net interest amount monthly, with the monthly settlements included in interest expense.
Management has designated the interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedging instrument. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. At September 30, 2020, the Company’s cash flow hedge was effective and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s net income over the next 12 months.
Fair Value Hedges – Fair value hedges are intended to reduce the interest rate risk associated with the underlying hedged item. The Company enters into fixed rate loan agreements as part of its lending policy. To mitigate the risk of changes in fair value based on fluctuations in interest rates, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements on individual loans, converting the fixed rate loans to a variable rate. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. At September 30, 2020, the Company’s fair value hedges were effective and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s net income over the next 12 months.
The change in fair value of both the hedge instruments and the underlying loan agreements are recorded as gains or losses in interest income. The fair value hedges are considered to be highly effective and any hedge ineffectiveness was deemed not material. The notional amounts of the loan and security agreements being hedged were $425.8 million at September 30, 2020 and $361.0 million at December 31, 2019.
Other Derivative Instruments – The Company enters into non–hedging derivatives in the form of mortgage loan forward sale commitments with investors and commitments to originate mortgage loans as part of its mortgage banking business. At September 30, 2020, the Company’s fair value of these derivatives were recorded and over the next 12 months are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s net income.
The change in fair value of both the forward sale commitments and commitments to originate mortgage loans were recorded and the net gains or losses included in the Company’s gain on sale of loans.

Note 13 – Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Fair Value Measurements topic of the FASB ASC defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 –Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 –Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3 –Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the period ended September 30, 2020. For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.
Available for sale securities
When quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities, state and municipal securities, federal agency collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage–backed pools and corporate notes. Level 2 securities are valued by a third party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry utilizing observable inputs. Observable inputs include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flow analysis, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment spreads and available credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions. The pricing provider utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary based on asset class. These models incorporate available market information including quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and, because many fixed–income securities do not trade on a daily basis, apply available information through processes such as benchmark

curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector grouping, and matrix pricing. In addition, model processes, such as an option adjusted spread model, is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios for securities with prepayment features.
Hedged loans
Certain fixed rate loans have been converted to variable rate loans by entering into interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of those fixed rate loans is based on discounting the estimated cash flows using interest rates determined by the respective interest rate swap agreement. Loans are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy based on the unobservable inputs used.
Interest rate swap agreements
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements is estimated by a third party using inputs that are primarily unobservable including a yield curve, adjusted for liquidity and credit risk, contracted terms and discounted cash flow analysis, and therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the FASB ASC fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at the following:

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
Collateral Dependent Loans: Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans.
If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value.
Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method.
Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs): MSRs do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the fair value of these assets is classified as Level 3. The Company determines the fair value of MSRs using an income approach model based upon the Company’s month–end interest rate curve and prepayment assumptions. The model utilizes assumptions to estimate future net servicing income cash flows, including estimates of time decay, payoffs and changes in valuation inputs and assumptions. The Company reviews the valuation assumptions against this market data for reasonableness and adjusts the assumptions if deemed appropriate. The carrying amount of the MSRs’ fair value due to impairment decreased by $4.7 million during the first nine months of 2020 and increased by $59,000 during the first nine months of 2019.

Note 14 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value amounts of the Company’s financial instruments were determined using available market information, current pricing information applicable to Horizon and various valuation methodologies. Where market quotations were not available, considerable management judgment was involved in the determination of estimated fair values. Therefore, the estimated fair value of financial instruments shown below may not be representative of the amounts at which they could be exchanged in a current or future transaction. Due to the inherent uncertainties of expected cash flows of financial instruments, the use of alternate valuation assumptions and methods could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The estimated fair values of financial instruments, as shown below, are not intended to reflect the estimated liquidation or
47

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
market value of Horizon taken as a whole. The disclosed fair value estimates are limited to Horizon’s significant financial instruments at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. These include financial instruments recognized as assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as well as certain off–balance sheet financial instruments. The estimated fair values shown below do not include any valuation of assets and liabilities, which are not financial instruments as defined by the FASB ASC fair value hierarchy.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Cash and Due from Banks – The carrying amounts approximate fair value.
Interest-earning time deposits – The fair values of the Company’s interest–earning time deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current rates for similar types of interest–earning time deposits.
Held–to–Maturity Securities – For debt securities held to maturity, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. For those securities where a quoted market price is not available, carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value based upon comparison with similar securities.
Loans Held for Sale – The carrying amounts approximate fair value.
Net Loans – The fair value of net loans are estimated on an exit price basis incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors.
FHLB Stock – Fair value of FHLB stock is based on the price at which it may be resold to the FHLB.
Interest Receivable/Payable – The carrying amounts approximate fair value.
Deposits – The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, interest–bearing checking accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturity.
Borrowings – Rates currently available to Horizon for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair values of existing borrowings.
Subordinated Notes – The fair value of subordinated notes is based on discounted cash flows based on current borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.
Junior Subordinated Debentures Issued to Capital Trusts – Rates currently available for debentures with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair values of existing debentures.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit – The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed–rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. Due to the short–term nature of these agreements, carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Note 16 – Regulatory Capital
Horizon and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. These capital requirements implement changes arising from the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the U.S. Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital framework (known as “Basel III”). Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators, which if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective actions, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off–balance–sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
The Company and Bank are subject to minimum regulatory capital requirements as defined and calculated in accordance with the Basel III–based regulations. As allowed under Basel III rules, the Company made the decision to opt–out of including accumulated other comprehensive income in regulatory capital. The minimum regulatory capital requirements are set forth in the table below.
In addition, to be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and Bank must maintain Total risk–based, Tier I risk–based, common equity Tier I risk–based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to be considered well capitalized. There have been no conditions or events since the end of the third quarter of 2020 that management believes have changed the Bank’s classification as well capitalized. There is no threshold for well capitalized status for bank holding companies.
In October 2019, the federal banking agencies finalized a new rule that will simplify capital requirements for qualified community banks that opt into the new community bank leverage ratio framework. The new framework was available to use in March 31, 2020 Call Reports or Forms FRY-9C (as applicable) for depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, among other qualifying criteria. Horizon did not elect the new community bank leverage ratio framework.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company and Bank elected the transition option of the 2019 CECL Rule which allows banking organizations to phase in over a three–year period the day–one adverse effects of CECL on their regulatory capital ratios.

FASB ASU No. 2019–12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
The FASB has issued ASU No. 2019–12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740. The guidance also improves consistent application by clarifying and amending existing guidance from ASC 740. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein and is to be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective approach, depending on the specific amendment. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements, but it is not expected to have a material impact.

Note 18 – General Litigation
The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows of the Company.

Overview
Horizon is a registered bank holding company incorporated in Indiana and headquartered in Michigan City, Indiana. Horizon provides a broad range of banking services in northern and central Indiana and southern and central Michigan through its bank subsidiary. Horizon operates as a single segment, which is commercial banking. Horizon’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol HBNC. The Bank was originally chartered as a national banking association in 1873 and has operated continuously since that time and converted to an Indiana state–chartered bank effective on June 23, 2017. The Bank is a full–service commercial bank offering commercial and retail banking services, corporate and individual trust and agency services, and other services incident to banking. Upon approval of a name change by Horizon’s shareholders at the annual meeting on May 3, 2018, Horizon’s full corporate name became “Horizon Bancorp, Inc.”
On March 26, 2019, Horizon completed the acquisition of Salin Bancshares, Inc. (“Salin”), an Indiana corporation and Horizon Bank’s acquisition of Salin Bank and Trust Company (“Salin Bank”), an Indiana commercial bank and wholly–owned subsidiary of Salin, through mergers effective March 26, 2019. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Salin received 23,907.5 shares of Horizon common stock and $87,417.17 in cash for each outstanding share of Salin common stock. Salin shares outstanding at the closing to be exchanged were 275, and the shares of Horizon common stock issued to Salin shareholders totaled 6,563,697. Based upon the March 25, 2019 closing price of $15.65 per share of Horizon common stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the merger, the transaction had an implied valuation of approximately $126.7 million.

Third Quarter 2020 Highlights
Earned net income of $20.3 million, or $0.46 diluted earnings per share, compared to $14.6 million, or $0.33 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2020 and $20.5 million, or $0.46 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2019.

Grew pre–tax, pre–provision net income to $26.7 million for the quarter, compared to $23.7 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $24.9 million for the third quarter of 2019. This non–GAAP financial measure is utilized by banks to provide a greater understanding of pre–tax profitability before giving effect to credit loss expense. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Pre–Tax, Pre–Provision Net Income” table below.)
Reported return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 1.40% and return on average common equity (“ROACE”) of 12.08% in the quarter, as well as adjusted ROAA of 1.34% and adjusted ROACE of 11.55%, excluding the impact of gains on sale of investment securities, net of tax. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Return on Average Assets and Return on Average Common Equity” tables below.)

Increased the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) 2.2% during the quarter and 218.8% year–to–date to $56.3 million at period end, representing 1.39% of total loans, reflecting implementation of the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) accounting method and prudent increases in the Company’s general reserves. ACL at period end also represented 1.51% of loans excluding $310.8 million in Federal Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, and 192.1% of non–performing loans.

Maintained solid asset quality metrics, including non–performing and delinquent loans representing 0.72% and 0.15% of total loans, respectively, at September 30, 2020, while net charge–offs were 0.02% of average loans for the period.

COVID–19 deferral levels improved to 4.1% of total loans at period end, from 14.3% on June 30, 2020.
Reported non–interest expense of $33.4 million, representing 2.30% of average assets on an annualized basis compared to 2.18% for the second quarter of 2020 and 2.34% for the third quarter of 2019.

Improved the efficiency ratio in the period to 55.59% compared to 56.23% for the second quarter of 2020. (See the “Non–GAAP Calculation and Reconciliation of Efficiency Ratio and Adjusted Efficiency Ratio” tables below.)

Generated record gain on mortgage loan sales of $8.8 million, up 33.1% from the linked quarter and 226.2% from the prior year period, and originated $207.1 million in mortgage loans during the quarter, down 18.1% from the record second quarter of 2020 and up 71.0% from the third quarter of 2019.

Reported net interest margin of 3.39% and adjusted net interest margin of 3.27%, with each declining by 8 basis points from the second quarter of 2020. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Net Interest Margin” table for the definition of this Non–GAAP calculation). An estimated 4 basis points of compression is attributed to PPP lending and an estimated 8 basis points of compression is attributed to subordinated notes during the quarter, for both net interest margin and adjusted net interest margin.

Horizon's book value per share increased from $14.29 at December 31, 2019 to $15.28 at September 30, 2020.

Horizon’s tangible book value per share increased from $10.63 at December 31, 2019 to $11.29 at September 30, 2020, which includes the accounting adjustment for CECL as of January 1, 2020. This represents the highest tangible book value per share in the Company’s history. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Tangible Stockholders’ Equity and Tangible Book Value per Share” tables below.)

Maintained strong liquidity position including approximately $1.3 billion in cash and investment securities, which is approximately 22.4% of total assets, and approximately $928.0 million in unused availability on lines of credit, at September 30, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies
The notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for 2019 contain a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Certain of these policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has identified as critical

accounting policies the allowance for loan losses, goodwill and intangible assets, mortgage servicing rights, hedge accounting and valuation measurements.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases replaces the allowance for loan and leases losses as a critical accounting estimate, as of January 1, 2020 with the adoption of ASU 2016–13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s best estimate of current expected credit losses over the life of the portfolio of loan and leases. Estimating credit losses requires judgment in determining loan specific attributes impacting the borrower’s ability to repay contractual obligations. Other factors such as economic forecasts used to determine a reasonable and supportable forecast, prepayment assumptions, the value of underlying collateral, and changes in size composition and risks within the portfolio are also considered.

The allowance for credit losses is assessed at each balance sheet date and adjustments are recorded in the provision for credit losses. The allowance is estimated based on loan level characteristics using historical loss rates, a reasonable and supportable economic forecast. Loan losses are estimated using the fair value of collateral for collateral–dependent loans, or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty such that repayment of the loan is expected to be made through the operation or sale of the collateral. Loan balances considered uncollectible are charged–off against the ACL. Recoveries of amounts previously charged–off are credited to the ACL. PCD assets represent assets that are acquired with evidence of more than insignificant credit quality deterioration since origination at the acquisition date. At acquisition, the allowance for credit losses on PCD assets is booked directly the ACL. Any subsequent changes in the ACL on PCD assets is recorded through the provision for credit losses. Management believes that the ACL is adequate to absorb the expected life of loan credit losses on the portfolio of loans and leases as of the balance sheet date. Actual losses incurred may differ materially from our estimates. Particularly, the impact of COVID–19 on both borrower credit and the greater macroeconomic environment is uncertain and changes in the duration, spread and severity of the virus will affect our loss experience.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Management believes that the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant accounting policies. FASB ASC 350–10 establishes standards for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and impairment assessment of goodwill. At September 30, 2020, Horizon had core deposit intangibles of $23.9 million subject to amortization and $151.2 million of goodwill, which is not subject to amortization. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. Horizon’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of Horizon to provide quality, cost effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. The goodwill value is supported by revenue that is in part driven by the volume of business transacted. A decrease in earnings resulting from a decline in the customer base or the inability to deliver cost effective services over sustained periods can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely affect earnings in future periods. FASB ASC 350–10 requires an annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment.
At each reporting date between annual goodwill impairment tests, Horizon considers potential indicators of impairment. Given the current economic uncertainty and volatility surrounding COVID–19, Horizon assessed whether the events and circumstances resulted in it being more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying value. Impairment indicators considered comprised the condition of the economy and banking industry; government intervention and regulatory updates; the impact of recent events to financial performance and cost factors of the reporting unit; performance of the Company's stock and other relevant events. Horizon further considered the amount by which fair value exceeded book value in the most recent quantitative analysis and stress testing performed. At the conclusion of the assessment, the Company determined that as of September 30, 2020 it was more likely than not that the fair value exceeded its carrying values. Horizon will continue to monitor developments regarding the COVID–19 pandemic and measures implemented in response to the pandemic, market capitalization, overall economic conditions and any other triggering events or circumstances that may indicate an impairment of goodwill in the future.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
And Results of Operations
For the Three and Nine Months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through the sale of financial assets on a servicing–retained basis. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized into non–interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated regularly for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying servicing rights by predominant characteristics, such as interest rates, original loan terms and whether the loans are fixed or adjustable rate mortgages. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market–based assumptions. When the book value of an individual stratum exceeds its fair value, an impairment reserve is recognized so that each individual stratum is carried at the lower of its amortized book value or fair value. In periods of falling market interest rates, accelerated loan prepayment can adversely affect the fair value of these mortgage–servicing rights relative to their book value. In the event that the fair value of these assets was to increase in the future, Horizon can recognize the increased fair value to the extent of the impairment allowance but cannot recognize an asset in excess of its amortized book value. Future changes in management’s assessment of the impairment of these servicing assets, as a result of changes in observable market data relating to market interest rates, loan prepayment speeds, and other factors, could impact Horizon’s financial condition and results of operations either positively or negatively.
Generally, when market interest rates decline and other factors favorable to prepayments occur, there is a corresponding increase in prepayments as customers refinance existing mortgages under more favorable interest rate terms. When a mortgage loan is prepaid, the anticipated cash flows associated with servicing that loan are terminated, resulting in a reduction of the fair value of the capitalized mortgage servicing rights. To the extent that actual borrower prepayments do not react as anticipated by the prepayment model (i.e., the historical data observed in the model does not correspond to actual market activity), it is possible that the prepayment model could fail to accurately predict mortgage prepayments and could result in significant earnings volatility. To estimate prepayment speeds, Horizon utilizes a third-party prepayment model, which is based upon statistically derived data linked to certain key principal indicators involving historical borrower prepayment activity associated with mortgage loans in the secondary market, current market interest rates and other factors, including Horizon’s own historical prepayment experience. For purposes of model valuation, estimates are made for each product type within the mortgage servicing rights portfolio on a monthly basis. In addition, on a quarterly basis Horizon engages a third party to independently test the value of its servicing asset.
Derivative Instruments
As part of the Company’s asset/liability management program, Horizon utilizes, from time–to–time, interest rate floors, caps or swaps to reduce the Company’s sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. These are derivative instruments, which are recorded as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives are reported in the consolidated income statements or other comprehensive income (“OCI”) depending on the use of the derivative and whether the instrument qualifies for hedge accounting. The key criterion for the hedge accounting is that the hedged relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in those cash flows that are attributable to the hedged risk, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis.
Horizon’s accounting policies related to derivatives reflect the guidance in FASB ASC 815–10. Derivatives that qualify for the hedge accounting treatment are designated as either: a hedge of the fair value of the recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge) or a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge). For fair value hedges, the cumulative change in fair value of both the hedge instruments and the underlying loans is recorded in non–interest income. For cash flow hedges, changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments are reported in OCI to the extent the hedge is effective. The gains and losses on derivative instruments that are reported in OCI are reflected in the consolidated income statement in the periods in which the results of operations are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. Generally, net interest income is increased or decreased by amounts receivable or payable with respect to the derivatives, which qualify for hedge accounting. At inception of the hedge, Horizon establishes the method it uses for assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge. The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized currently in the consolidated statements of income. Horizon excludes the time value expiration of the hedge when measuring ineffectiveness.

Valuation Measurements
Valuation methodologies often involve a significant degree of judgment, particularly when there are no observable active markets for the items being valued. Investment securities, residential mortgage loans held for sale and derivatives are carried at fair value, as defined in FASB ASC 820, which requires key judgments affecting how fair value for such assets and liabilities is determined. In addition, the outcomes of valuations have a direct bearing on the carrying amounts of goodwill, mortgage servicing rights, and pension and other post–retirement benefit obligations. To determine the values of these assets and liabilities, as well as the extent, to which related assets may be impaired, management makes assumptions and estimates related to discount rates, asset returns, prepayment speeds and other factors. The use of different discount rates or other valuation assumptions could produce significantly different results, which could affect Horizon’s results of operations.
Financial Condition
On September 30, 2020, Horizon’s total assets were $5.8 billion, an increase of approximately $543.3 million compared to December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily in net loans of $354.9 million, investment securities available for sale of $180.6 million and other assets of $25.5 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in investment securities held to maturity of $27.6 million.
Investment securities were comprised of the following as of (dollars in thousands):

Investment securities available for sale increased $180.6 million since December 31, 2019 to $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2020. This increase was due to additional purchases to increase earning assets.
Gross loans increased $402.5 million since December 31, 2019 to $4.0 billion as of September 30, 2020. Commercial, mortgage warehouse and loans held for sale increased $275.0 million, $224.4 million and $9.0 million, respectively, offset by a decrease in residential mortgage and consumer loans of $95.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The majority of the increase in gross loans was due to the origination of approximately $310.8 million in PPP loans which are included in the commercial loan category.
Total deposits increased $405.3 million since December 31, 2019 to $4.3 billion as of September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to Federal stimulus payments to consumers and funds from the origination of PPP loans.
Total borrowings increased from $549.7 million as of December 31, 2019 to $587.5 million as of September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $188.7 million in short-term funds borrowed compared to $398.8 million at December 31, 2019 as long–term funding provided opportunities to extend borrowings at lower rates. The Company also issued $60.0 million in subordinated notes during the second quarter of 2020.

For the Three and Nine Months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
Stockholders’ equity totaled $670.3 million at September 30, 2020 compared to $656.0 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in stockholders’ equity during the period was due to the generation of net income and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income during the period, offset by the repurchase of outstanding stock, the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016–13 and dividends declared during the period. Book value per common share at September 30, 2020 increased to $15.28 compared to $14.59 at December 31, 2019.

Results of Operations
Overview
Consolidated net income for the three–month period ended September 30, 2020 was $20.3 million, or $0.46 diluted earnings per share, compared to $20.5 million, or $0.46 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2019. The decrease in net income for the three–month period ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the same prior year period reflects an increase in non–interest expense of $3.3 million, an increase in credit loss expense of $1.7 million and an increase in income tax expense of $322,000, offset by an increase in non–interest income of $5.2 million. Excluding gain/loss on sale of investment securities and death benefit on bank owned life insurance (“adjusted net income”), adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $19.4 million, or $0.45 diluted earnings per share, compared to $20.3 million, or $0.45 diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2019.
Consolidated net income for the nine–month period ended September 30, 2020 was $46.6 million, or $1.06 diluted earnings per share, compared to $48.0 million, or $1.11 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2019. The decrease in net income for the nine–month period ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the same prior year period reflects an increase in credit loss expense of $16.1 million and an increase in non–interest expense of $3.6 million, offset by an increase in net interest income of $8.0 million, an increase in non–interest income of $8.8 million and a decrease in tax expense of $1.5 million. Adjusted net income for the nine–month period ended September 30, 2020 was $45.0 million, or $1.02 diluted earnings per share, compared to $52.1 million, or $1.21 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2019.
Net Interest Income
The largest component of net income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loans and investment securities, and interest expense, principally on deposits and borrowings. Changes in the net interest income are the result of changes in volume and the net interest spread, which affects the net interest margin. Volume refers to the average dollar levels of interest–earning assets and interest–bearing liabilities. Net interest spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest–earning assets and the average cost of interest–bearing liabilities. Net interest margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest–earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest–earning assets and interest–bearing liabilities.
Net interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $43.4 million, a decrease of $66,000 from the $43.5 million earned during the same period in 2019. Yields on the Company’s interest–earning assets decreased by 97 basis points to 3.90% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 4.87% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Interest income decreased $5.6 million from $55.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $50.1 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in interest income was due to a decrease in interest rates during the third quarter of 2020. Interest income from acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments was $1.5 million for the three months ending September 30, 2020 compared to $1.7 million for the same period of 2019.
Rates paid on interest–bearing liabilities decreased by 68 basis points for the three–month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Interest expense decreased $5.5 million when compared to the three–month period ended September 30, 2019 to $6.7 million for the same period in 2020. This decrease was due to lower rates paid on deposits and borrowings. The cost on average interest–bearing deposits decreased 72 basis points while the cost of average borrowings decreased 103 basis points. Average balances of interest–bearing deposits increased $201.6 million and average balances of borrowings increased $163.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019.
The net interest margin decreased 43 basis points from 3.82% for the three–month period ended September 30, 2019 to 3.39% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in the margin for the three–month period ended September 30, 2020

compared to the same period in 2019 was due to a decrease in the yield of interest–earning assets, offset by a decrease in the cost of interest–bearing liabilities. Excluding the interest income recognized from the acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments (“adjusted net interest margin”), the margin would have been 3.27% for the three-month period ending September 30, 2020 compared to 3.67% for the same period in 2019.

For the Three and Nine Months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
The net interest margin was impacted during the second and third quarters of 2020 due to the PPP loans that were originated. Horizon estimates that the PPP loans compressed the net interest margin by 3 and 4 basis points for the second and third quarters, respectively. This assumes these PPP loans were not included in average interest earning assets or interest income and were primarily funded by the growth in non–interest bearing deposits. The compression to the net interest margin for the first nine months of 2020 using the same assumptions was estimated to be 3 basis points.

The net interest margin was also impacted during the second and third quarters of 2020 due to the issuance of $60.0 million in subordinated notes in June 2020. Horizon estimates that the subordinated notes compressed the net interest margin by 1 and 10 basis points for the second and third quarters, respectively. This assumes the subordinated notes were not included in average interest bearing liabilities or interest expense and were primarily offset by a reduction in cash. The compression to the net interest margin for the first nine months of 2020 using the same assumptions was estimated to be 4 basis points.
Net interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $127.3 million, an increase of $8.0 million from the $119.3 million earned during the same period in 2019. Yields on the Company’s interest–earning assets decreased by 68 basis points to 4.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 4.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Interest income decreased $2.8 million from $154.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $152.1 million for the same period in 2020. Average interest earning assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $660.7 million to $5.0 billion compared to $4.4 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Interest income from acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments was $4.5 million for both the nine months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Rates paid on interest–bearing liabilities decreased by 55 basis points for the nine–month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Interest expense decreased $10.8 million when compared to the nine–month period ended September 30, 2019 to $24.8 million for the same period in 2020. This decrease was due to lower rates paid on deposits and borrowings. The cost on average interest–bearing deposits decreased 50 basis points while the cost of average borrowings decreased 105 basis points. Average balances of interest–bearing deposits increased $362.2 million and average balances of borrowings increased $113.7 million for the nine–month period ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019.
The net interest margin decreased 24 basis points from 3.72% for the nine–month period ended September 30, 2019 to 3.48% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in the margin for the nine–month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was due to a decrease in the yield of interest–earning assets, offset by a decrease in the cost of interest–bearing liabilities. Excluding the interest income recognized from the acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments (“adjusted net interest margin”), the margin would have been 3.36% for the nine–month period ending September 30, 2020 compared to 3.58% for the same period in 2019.

Credit Loss Expense

Horizon assesses the adequacy of its Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) by regularly reviewing the performance of its loan portfolio. During the three–month period ended September 30, 2020, a provision of $2.1 million was required to reflect the nature of our loan portfolios and general characteristics of certain loan pools compared to $376,000 for the same period of 2019. During the three–month period ended September 30, 2020, commercial loan net charge–offs were $488,000, residential mortgage loan net charge–offs were $136,000 and consumer loan net charge–offs were $199,000.

During the nine–month period ended September 30, 2020, a provision of $17.7 million was required to reflect the nature of our loan portfolios and general characteristics of certain loan pools compared to $1.6 million for the same period of 2019. During the nine–month period ended September 30, 2020, commercial loan net charge–offs were $474,000, residential mortgage loan net charge–offs were $177,000 and consumer loan net charge–offs were $983,000.

The ACL balance at September 30, 2020 was $56.3 million, or 1.39% of total loans. This compares to an ACL balance of $17.7 million at December 31, 2019 or 0.49% of total loans.

As of September 30, 2020, non–performing loans totaled $29.3 million, which reflects a 14 basis point increase in non–performing loans to total loans, or an $8.1 million increase from $21.2 million in non–performing loans as of December 31, 2019. Non–performing commercial loans increased by $8.8 million, non–performing real estate loans decreased by $675,000 and non–performing consumer loans decreased by $18,000 at September 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019.
The Bank has elected (i) to suspend the requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to the COVID–19 pandemic that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR; and (ii) to suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of the effects of COVID–19 pandemic as being a TDR, including impairment for accounting purposes. At September 30, 2020, the Bank modified loans totaling $160.1 million which qualify for treatment under the CARES Act.

Total non–interest income was $5.2 million higher during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019. Residential mortgage loan activity during the third quarter of 2020 generated $8.8 million of income from the gain on sale of mortgage loans, up from $2.7 million for the same period in 2019 due to a higher volume of loans sold and an increase in the percentage gain on loans sold. Mortgage servicing rights, net of impairment, decreased $1.8 million during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 primarily due to an impairment charge of $1.5 million recorded during the third quarter of 2020. Service charges on deposit accounts, death benefit on bank owned life insurance and other income decreased $682,000, $182,000, and $87,000, respectively, when comparing the third quarter of 2020 to the same period of 2019.

For the Three and Nine Months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
Total non–interest income was $8.8 million higher for the nine–month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019. Residential mortgage loan activity during the nine–month period ended September 30, 2020 generated $18.9 million of income from the gain on sale of mortgage loans, up from $6.1 million for the same period in 2019 due to a higher volume of loans sold and an increase in the percentage gain on loans sold. Mortgage servicing rights, net of impairment, decreased $5.7 million during the nine–month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 primarily due to an impairment charge of $4.7 million recorded during 2020.

Total non–interest expense was $3.6 million higher for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the same period of 2019. Increases in salaries and employee benefits, loan expense, data processing FDIC deposit insurance and net occupancy expenses were offset in part by decreases in outside services and consultants and other expense. Excluding merger expenses, total non–interest expense increased by $9.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 when compared to the same period of 2019. This increase was primarily related to the closing of the Salin Bancshares, Inc. merger on March 26, 2019 and the related increase in costs.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense totaled $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2020 an increase of $322,000 when compared to the third quarter of 2019. The decrease in income tax expense in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 was primarily due to a decrease in income before taxes of $97,000.
Income tax expense totaled $7.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $1.5 million when compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease in income tax expense was due to a decrease in income before taxes of $2.9 million in addition to an increase in tax–exempt municipal interest income.
Liquidity
The Bank maintains a stable base of core deposits provided by long–standing relationships with individuals and local businesses. These deposits are the principal source of liquidity for Horizon. Other sources of liquidity for Horizon include earnings, loan repayment, investment security sales and maturities, proceeds from the sale of residential mortgage loans, unpledged investment securities and borrowing relationships with correspondent banks, including the FHLB. At September 30, 2020, in addition to liquidity available from the normal operating, funding, and investing activities of Horizon, the Bank had approximately $928.0 million in unused credit lines with various money center banks, including the FHLB and the FRB Discount Window compared to $517.1 million at December 31, 2019. The Bank had approximately $517.2 million of unpledged investment securities at September 30, 2020 compared to $807.4 million at December 31, 2019.

Capital Resources
The capital resources of Horizon and the Bank exceeded regulatory capital ratios for “well capitalized” banks at September 30, 2020. Stockholders’ equity totaled $670.3 million as of September 30, 2020, compared to $656.0 million as of December 31, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the ratio of average stockholders’ equity to average assets was 11.90% compared to 12.28% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in stockholders’ equity during the period was the result of the net income and the increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, offset by the repurchase of outstanding stock, the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016–13 and dividends declared.
Horizon declared common stock dividends in the amount of $0.36 per share during the first nine months of 2020 and $0.34 per share for the same period of 2019. The dividend payout ratio (dividends as a percent of basic earnings per share) was 34.0% and 30.5% for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. For additional information regarding dividends, see Horizon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2019.
Use of Non–GAAP Financial Measures
Certain information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10–Q refers to financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we have included non–GAAP financial measures relating to net income, diluted earnings per share, net interest margin, the allowance for credit losses, tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per share, the return on average assets, the return on average common equity, and pre–tax pre–provision net income. In each case, we have identified special circumstances that we consider to be adjustments and have excluded them, to show the impact of such events as acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments, among others we have identified in our reconciliations. Horizon believes that these non–GAAP financial measures are helpful to investors and provide a greater understanding of our business without giving effect to the purchase accounting impacts and other adjustments. These measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure. See the tables and other information below and contained elsewhere in this Report on Form 10–Q for reconciliations of the non–GAAP figures identified herein and their most comparable GAAP measures.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We refer you to Horizon’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10–K for analysis of its interest rate sensitivity. Horizon believes there have been no significant changes in its interest rate sensitivity since it was reported in its 2019 Annual Report on Form 10–K.
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020, Horizon’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of Horizon’s disclosure controls (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a–15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the evaluation date, Horizon’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by Horizon in the reports it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in those reports is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Beginning January 1, 2020, Horizon adopted ASU No. 2016–13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Horizon implemented changes to the policies, process, and controls

over the estimation of the allowance for credit losses to support the adoption of ASU 2016–13. Many controls under this new standard mirror controls under the prior GAAP methodology. New controls were established over the review of economic forecasting projections obtained from independent third parties. Except as related to the adoption of ASU 2016–13, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a–15(f) and 15d–15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Horizon and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of their business. Management does not expect that the outcome of any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
The disclosures below supplement the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A. of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10–K.
The COVID–19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and financial results, and the ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.
The COVID–19 pandemic is creating extensive disruptions to the global economy and to the lives of individuals throughout the world. Governments, businesses, and the public are taking unprecedented actions to contain the spread of COVID–19 and to mitigate its effects, including quarantines, travel bans, shelter-in-place orders, closures of businesses and schools, fiscal stimulus, and legislation designed to deliver monetary aid and other relief. While the scope, duration, and full effects of COVID–19 are rapidly evolving and not fully known, the pandemic and related efforts to contain it have disrupted global economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty, and disrupted trade and supply chains. If these effects continue for a prolonged period or result in sustained economic stress or recession, many of the risk factors identified in our Form 10–K could be exacerbated and such effects could have a material adverse impact on us in a number of ways related to credit, collateral, customer demand, funding operations, interest rate risk, human capital and self–insurance, as described in more detail below.
Credit RiskOur risks of timely loan repayment and the value of collateral supporting the loans are affected by the strength of our borrower’s business. Concern about the spread of COVID–19 has caused and is likely to continue to cause business shutdowns, limitations on commercial activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions, increased unemployment and commercial property vacancy rates, reduced profitability and ability for property owners to make mortgage payments, and overall economic and financial market instability, all of which may cause our customers to be unable to make scheduled loan payments. If the effects of COVID–19 result in widespread and sustained repayment shortfalls on loans in our portfolio, we could incur significant delinquencies, foreclosures and credit losses, particularly if the available collateral is insufficient to cover our exposure. The future effects of COVID–19 on economic activity could negatively affect the collateral values associated with our existing loans, the ability to liquidate the real estate collateral securing our residential and commercial real estate loans, our ability to maintain loan origination volume and to obtain additional financing, the future demand for or profitability of our lending services, and the financial condition and credit risk of our customers. Further, in the event of delinquencies, regulatory changes and policies designed to protect borrowers may slow or prevent us from making our business decisions or may result in a delay in our taking certain remediation actions, such as foreclosure. In addition, we have unfunded commitments to extend credit to customers. During a challenging economic environment like now, our customers are more dependent on our credit commitments and increased borrowings under these commitments could adversely impact our liquidity. Furthermore, in an effort to support our communities during the pandemic, we are participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the CARES Act whereby loans to small businesses are made and those loans are subject to the regulatory requirements that would require forbearance of loan payments for a specified time or that would limit our ability to pursue all available remedies in the event of a loan default. If the borrower under the PPP loan fails to qualify for loan forgiveness, we are at the heightened risk of holding these loans at unfavorable interest rates as compared to the loans to customers that we would have otherwise extended.
Strategic Risk – Our success may be affected by a variety of external factors that may affect the price or marketability of our products and services, changes in interest rates that may increase our funding costs, reduced demand for our financial products due to economic conditions and the various responses of governmental and nongovernmental authorities. In recent weeks, the COVID–19 pandemic has significantly increased economic uncertainty and has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets. Furthermore, many of the governmental actions have been directed toward curtailing household and business activity to contain COVID–19.

These actions have been rapidly expanding in scope and intensity. For example, in many of our markets, local governments have acted to temporarily close or restrict the operations of most businesses. The future effects of COVID–19 on economic activity could negatively affect the future banking products we provide, including a decline in originating of loans.
Operational Risk – Current and future restrictions on our workforce’s access to our facilities could limit our ability to meet customer servicing expectations and have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results. We rely on business processes and branch activity that largely depend on people and technology, including access to information technology systems as well as information, applications, payment systems and other services provided by third parties. In response to COVID–19, we have modified our business practices with a portion of our employees working remotely from other locations and their homes to have our operations uninterrupted as much as possible. Further, technology in employees’ homes may not be as robust as in our offices and could cause the networks, information systems, applications, and other tools available to employees to be more limited or less reliable than in our offices. The continuation of these work–from–home measures also introduces additional operational risk, including increased cybersecurity risk. These cyber risks include greater phishing, malware, and other cybersecurity attacks, vulnerability to disruptions of our information technology infrastructure and telecommunications systems for remote operations, increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of confidential information, limited ability to restore the systems in the event of a systems failure or interruption, greater risk of a security breach resulting in destruction or misuse of valuable information, and potential impairment of our ability to perform critical functions, including wiring funds, all of which could expose us to risks of data or financial loss, litigation and liability and could seriously disrupt our operations and the operations of any impacted customers.
Moreover, we rely on many third parties in our business operations, including the appraiser of the real property collateral, vendors that supply essential services such as loan servicers, providers of financial information, systems and analytical tools and providers of electronic payment and settlement systems, and local and federal government agencies, offices, and courthouses. In light of the developing measures responding to the pandemic, many of these entities may limit the availability and access of their services. For example, loan origination could be delayed due to the limited availability of real estate appraisers for the collateral. Loan closings could be delayed related to reductions in available staff in recording offices or the closing of courthouses in certain counties, which slows the process for title work, mortgage and UCC filings in those counties. If the third–party service providers continue to have limited capacities for a prolonged period or if additional limitations or potential disruptions in these services materialize, it may negatively affect our operations and financial results.
Interest Rate Risk – Our net interest income, lending activities, deposits and profitability could be negatively affected by volatility in interest rates caused by uncertainties stemming from COVID–19. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve lowered the target range for the federal funds rate to a range from 0 to 0.25 percent, citing concerns about the impact of COVID–19 on markets and stress in the energy sector. A prolonged period of extremely volatile and unstable market conditions would likely increase our funding costs and negatively affect market risk mitigation strategies. Higher income volatility from changes in interest rates and spreads to benchmark indices could cause a loss of future net interest income and a decrease in current fair market values of our assets. Fluctuations in interest rates will impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our net income, operating results, or financial condition.
In addition, the United States Government and its related entities are incurring unprecedented debt levels in support of the United States Economy. This level of debt may not be sustainable, may cause inflationary pressures and increases risks to fund the balance sheet if international investors elect to no longer purchase United States Treasuries.
Because there have been no recent global pandemics that resulted in similar global impact, we do not yet know the full extent of COVID–19’s effects on our business, operations, or the global economy as a whole. Any future development will be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of our work from home arrangements, third party providers’ ability to support our operation, and any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. The uncertain future development of this crisis could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, operating results, financial condition, liquidity or capital levels.
