Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of operations: Independent Bank Group, Inc. (IBG) through its subsidiary, Independent Bank, a Texas state banking corporation, doing business as Independent Financial, (Bank) (collectively known as the Company), provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers in the North, Central and Southeast Texas areas and along the Colorado Front Range, through its various branch locations in those areas. The Company is engaged in traditional community banking activities, which include commercial and retail lending, deposit gathering, and investment and liquidity management activities. The Company’s primary deposit products are demand deposits, money market accounts and certificates of deposit and its primary lending products are commercial business and real estate, real estate mortgage and consumer loans.
Basis of presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IBG and all other entities in which IBG has controlling financial interest. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the Company wholly-owns nine statutory business trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and do not meet the criteria for consolidation.
The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
Accounting standards codification: The Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) is the officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative.
Segment reporting: The Company has one reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker uses consolidated results to make operating and strategic decisions.
Reclassifications: Certain prior period financial statement and disclosure amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously reported.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The material estimates included in the financial statements relate to the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of goodwill and valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations.
Goodwill assessment: The Company's policy is to test goodwill for impairment annually on December 31 or on an interim basis if an event triggering impairment may have occurred. During the period ended March 31, 2023, the economic uncertainty and market volatility resulting from the rising interest rate environment and the recent banking crisis resulted in a decrease in the Company's stock price and market capitalization. Management believed such decrease was a triggering indicator requiring an interim goodwill impairment quantitative analysis. Based on an analysis performed, the Company's estimated fair value to a market participant as of March 31, 2023, exceeded its carrying amount resulting in no impairment charge for the period. Management will continue to evaluate the economic conditions at future reporting periods for applicable changes.

Adoption of new accounting standards: ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method. Under prior guidance, entities can apply the last-of-layer hedging method to hedge the exposure of a closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets to fair value changes due to changes in interest rates for a portion of the portfolio that is not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults, and other events affecting the timing and amount of cash flows. ASU 2022-01 expands the last-of-layer method, which permits only one hedge layer, to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio. To reflect that expansion, the last-of-layer method is renamed the portfolio layer method. ASU 2022-01 also (i) expands the scope of the portfolio layer method to include non-prepayable financial assets, (ii) specifies eligible hedging instruments in a single-layer hedge, (iii) provides additional guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of hedge basis adjustments under the portfolio layer method and (iv) specifies how hedge basis adjustments should be considered when determining credit losses for the assets included in the closed portfolio. The Company adopted ASU 2022-01 on January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.
ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings in ASC Subtopic 310-40, Receivables -Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, ASU 2022-02 requires entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measured at Amortized Cost. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 on a modified retrospective basis on January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.
Subsequent events: Companies are required to evaluate events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the date the financial statements are issued. They must recognize in the financial statements the effect of all events or transactions that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the financial statement preparation process. Entities shall not recognize the impact of events or transactions that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing these financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and noted no subsequent events requiring financial statement recognition or disclosure, except as disclosed in Note 13. Subsequent Events.
Earnings (loss) per share: Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated as net income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under participating nonvested restricted stock awards as well as performance stock units (PSUs). The participating nonvested restricted stock awards were not included in dilutive shares as they were anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Proceeds from the assumed exercise of dilutive participating nonvested restricted stock awards and PSUs are assumed to be used to repurchase common stock at the average market price.

During 2022, the Company reclassified, at fair value, approximately $117,583 in available for sale obligations of state and municipal subdivisions to the held to maturity category, primarily to limit future volatility in equity due to potential increases in interest rates. The related net unrealized pre-tax gains of approximately $26 remained in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be amortized over the remaining life of the securities, as an adjustment of the yield on the transferred securities. There have been no transfers of securities in 2023.

The Company's securities classified as available for sale and held to maturity are evaluated for expected credit losses by applying the appropriate expected credit losses methodology in accordance with ASC Topic 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." At March 31, 2023, management's review of all securities at an unrealized loss position determined that the losses resulted from factors not related to credit quality. This conclusion is based on management's analysis of the underlying risk characteristics, including credit ratings, and other qualitative factors for each security type in our portfolio.
The unrealized losses on available for sale securities are generally due to increases in market interest rates. Furthermore, the Company has the intent to hold the available for sale securities until maturity or a forecasted recovery, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the securities before the recovery of their cost basis. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. As such, there is no allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities recognized as of March 31, 2023.

The Company's held to maturity securities include taxable and tax-exempt municipal securities issued primarily by school districts, utility districts and municipalities. With regard to securities issued by state and municipal subdivisions, management considers issuer bond ratings, historical loss rates for given bond ratings, whether issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities, internal forecasts and whether or not such securities are guaranteed. A significant portion of the Company's held to maturity securities are guaranteed or insured. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2023, there were no past due principal or interest payments associated with these securities. As such, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded on held to maturity securities as of March 31, 2023.

Loans with carrying amounts of $7,432,017 and $7,246,087 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were pledged to secure Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing capacity and Federal Reserve Bank discount window borrowing capacity.
The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans.
Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business. The Company’s management examines current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. These cash flows, however, may not be as expected and the value of collateral securing the loans may fluctuate. 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.

The commercial loan portfolio includes loans made to customers in the energy industry, which is a complex, technical and cyclical industry. Experienced bankers with specialized energy lending experience originate our energy loans. Companies in this industry produce, extract, develop, exploit and explore for oil and natural gas. Loans are primarily collateralized with proven producing oil and gas reserves based on a technical evaluation of these reserves. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were approximately $549,895 and $574,698, of energy related loans outstanding, respectively.
Under the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Company originated loans to its customers through the program. PPP loans have terms of to five years and earn interest at 1%. In return for processing and funding the loans, the SBA paid the lenders a processing fee tiered by the size of the loan. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were approximately $3,542 and $4,958 in PPP loans outstanding included in the commercial loan portfolio, respectively. In addition, the Company has recorded net deferred fees associated with PPP loans of $86 and $101 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Based on published program guidelines, these loans funded through the PPP are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Management believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program with any remaining balances, after the forgiveness of any amounts, still fully guaranteed by the SBA.
The Company has a mortgage warehouse purchase program providing mortgage inventory financing for residential mortgage loans originated by mortgage banker clients across a broad geographic scale. Proceeds from the sale of mortgages is the primary source of repayment for warehouse inventory financing via approved investor takeout commitments. These loans typically have a very short duration ranging between a few days to 15 days. In some cases, loans to larger mortgage originators may be financed for up to 60 days. Warehouse purchase program loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and are purchased under several contractual requirements, providing safeguards to the Company. To date, the Company has not experienced a loss on these loans and no allowance for credit losses has been allocated to them.
Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property 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 or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location. Management monitors the diversification of the portfolio on a quarterly basis by type and geographic location. Management also tracks the level of owner occupied property versus non-owner occupied property. At March 31, 2023, the portfolio consisted of approximately 23% of owner occupied property.
Land and commercial land development loans are underwritten using feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews and financial analysis of the developers or property owners. Generally, borrowers must have a proven track record of success. Commercial construction loans are generally based upon estimates of cost and value of the completed project. These estimates may not be accurate. Commercial construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with the repayment dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these loans may be pre-committed permanent financing or sale of the developed property. The loans in this portfolio are geographically diverse and due to the increased risk are monitored closely by management and the board of directors on a quarterly basis.
Residential real estate and single-family interim construction loans are underwritten primarily based on borrowers’ documented income and ability to repay the Bank and other creditors as well as minimum collateral values and credit scores. Relatively small loan amounts are spread across many individual borrowers, which minimizes risk in the residential portfolio. In addition, management evaluates trends in past dues and current economic factors on a regular basis.

Agricultural loans are collateralized by real estate and/or agricultural-related assets. Agricultural real estate loans are primarily comprised of loans for the purchase of farmland. Loan-to-value ratios on loans secured by farmland generally do not exceed 80% and have amortization periods limited to twenty years. Agricultural non-real estate loans are generally comprised of term loans to fund the purchase of equipment, livestock and seasonal operating lines to grain farmers to plant and harvest corn and soybeans. Specific underwriting standards have been established for agricultural-related loans including the establishment of projections for each operating year based on industry developed estimates of farm input costs and expected commodity yields and prices. Operating lines are typically written for one year and secured by the crop and other farm assets as considered necessary.
Agricultural loans carry credit risks as they involve larger balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, repayment of such loans depends on the successful operation or management of the farm property securing the loan or for which an operating loan is utilized. Farming operations may be affected by adverse weather conditions such as drought, hail or floods that can severely limit crop yields.
Consumer loans represent less than 1% of the outstanding total loan portfolio. Collateral consists primarily of automobiles and other personal assets. Credit score analysis is used to supplement the underwriting process.
Most of the Company’s lending activity occurs within the state of Texas, primarily in the north, central and southeast Texas regions and the state of Colorado, specifically along the Front Range area. As of March 31, 2023, loans in the Colorado region represented about 25% of the total portfolio. A large percentage of the Company’s portfolio consists of commercial and residential real estate loans. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no concentrations of loans related to a single industry in excess of 10% of total loans.
Under ASC 326, the allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off against the allowance when they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. The amount of the allowance represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses on loans considering available information relevant to assessing collectibility over the loans' contractual terms, 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 that a restructuring will be executed with an individual borrower, or the extension or renewal options are included in the borrower contract and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.
The Company's allowance balance is estimated using relevant available 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, credit quality, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, gross domestic product, property values or other relevant factors. The Company utilizes Moody’s Analytics economic forecast scenarios and assigns probability weighting to those scenarios which best reflect management’s views on the economic forecast.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective basis for portfolios of loans when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. For determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses on a collective basis, the loan portfolio is segmented into pools based upon similar risk characteristics and a lifetime loss-rate model is utilized. For modeling purposes, loan pools include: commercial and industrial, energy, commercial real estate - construction/land development, commercial real estate - owner occupied, commercial real estate - non-owner occupied, agricultural, residential real estate, HELOCs, single-family interim construction, and consumer. Management periodically reassesses each pool to ensure the loans within the pool continue to share similar characteristics and risk profiles and to determine whether further segmentation is necessary. The measurement of expected credit losses is impacted by loan/borrower attributes and certain macroeconomic variables. Management has determined that they are reasonably able to forecast the macroeconomic variables used in the modeling processes with an acceptable degree of confidence for a total of two years then encompassing a reversion process whereby the forecasted macroeconomic variables are reverted to their historical mean utilizing a rational, systematic basis. Management qualitatively adjusts model results for risk factors that are not considered within the modeling processes but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within the loan pools. These qualitative factor (Q-Factor) adjustments may increase or decrease management's estimate of expected credit losses by a calculated percentage or amount based upon the estimated level of risk.
Loans exhibiting unique risk characteristics and requiring an individual evaluation are measured based on 1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; 2) the loan's observable market price; or 3) the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Substantially all of the Company’s individually evaluated loans are measured at the fair value of the collateral.
Management continually evaluates the allowance for credit losses based upon the factors noted above. Should any of the factors considered by management change, the Company’s estimate of credit losses could also change and would affect the level of future provision for credit losses. Portions of the allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. While the calculation of the allowance for credit losses utilizes management’s best judgment and all the information available, the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is dependent on a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control, including, among other things, the performance of the entire loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of regulatory authorities towards loan classifications.
Loans requiring an individual evaluation are generally identified at the servicing officer level based on review of weekly past due reports and/or the loan officer’s communication with borrowers. In addition, the status of past due loans are routinely discussed within each lending region as well as credit committee meetings to determine if classification is warranted. The Company’s internal loan review department has implemented an internal risk-based loan review process to identify potential internally classified loans that supplements the independent external loan review. External loan reviews cover a wide range of the loan portfolio, including large lending relationships, specifically targeted loan types, and if applicable recently acquired loan portfolios. These reviews include analysis of borrower’s financial condition, payment histories, review of loan documentation and collateral values to determine if a loan should be internally classified. Generally, once classified, an analysis is completed by the credit department to determine the amount of allocated allowance for credit loss required. Expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans, including loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty but foreclosure is not probable, are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.
Following unprecedented declines caused by the pandemic and volatile energy prices, the Texas economy, specifically in the Company’s lending areas of north, central and southeast Texas, continued to expand modestly through the first quarter of 2023. The Colorado economy fell slightly. Growth picked up slightly in the service sector. Retail sales, home sales and manufacturing output and demand declined. Rising interest rates further weakens loan demand, including renewals of existing loans. Agricultural conditions and housing market activity improved. Outlooks are mostly negative, and uncertainty remains high amid concerns of weakening demand, inflation and high interest rates. The implications for the U.S. economy are highly uncertain, and the war in Ukraine and related events have created additional upward pressure on inflation and are weighing on economic activity. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand imbalances, higher food and energy prices and broader price pressures. The risk of loss associated with all segments of the portfolio could increase due to these factors.

The economy and other risk factors are minimized by the Company’s underwriting standards, which include the following principles: 1) financial strength of the borrower including strong earnings, high net worth, significant liquidity and acceptable debt to worth ratio, 2) managerial business competence, 3) ability to repay, 4) loan to value, 5) projected cash flow and 6) guarantor financial statements, as applicable. The following is a summary of the activity in the allowance for credit losses on loans by class for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

The Company will charge-off that portion of any loan which management considers a loss. Commercial and real estate loans are generally considered for charge-off when exposure beyond collateral coverage is apparent and when no further collection of the loss portion is anticipated based on the borrower’s financial condition.

____________
(1) There are $2,696 and $125 in loans on nonaccrual without an allowance for credit loss as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Additionally, no interest income was recognized on nonaccrual loans. No significant amounts of accrued interest was reversed during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
(2) With the adoption of ASU 2022-02, effective January 1, 2023, TDR accounting has been eliminated.
The accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes that, after considering collection efforts and other factors, the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Regulatory provisions would typically require the placement of a loan on non-accrual status if 1) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection or 2) full payment of principal and interest is not expected. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off is reversed against interest income. Cash collections on nonaccrual loans are generally credited to the loan receivable balance, and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been collected. Loans are generally returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing certain concessions, such as principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, an interest rate reduction, or a combination of such concessions. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses. Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or portion of the loan) is written off. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not provide any modifications under these circumstances to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

The Company’s internal classified report is segregated into the following categories: 1) Pass/Watch, 2) Special Mention, 3) Substandard, 4) Doubtful and 5) Loss. The loans placed in the Pass/Watch category reflect the Company’s opinion that the loans reflect potential weakness that requires monitoring on a more frequent basis. The loans in the Special Mention category reflect the Company’s opinion that the credit contains weaknesses which represent a greater degree of risk and warrant extra attention. These loans are reviewed monthly by officers and senior management to determine if a change in category is warranted. The loans placed in the Substandard category are considered to be potentially inadequately protected by the current debt service capacity of the borrower and/or the pledged collateral. These credits, even if apparently protected by collateral value, have shown weakness related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market or political conditions, which may jeopardize repayment of principal and interest and may be considered impaired. There is a possibility that some future loss could be sustained by the Company if such weakness is not corrected. The Doubtful category includes loans that are in default or principal exposure is probable and the possibility of loss is extremely high. The Loss category includes loans that are considered uncollectible, with little chance of turnaround.

Management considers the guidance in ASC 310-20 when determining whether a modification, extension or renewal of a loan constitutes a current period origination. Generally, current period renewals of credit are re-underwritten at the point of renewal and considered current period originations for purposes of the table below.

Note 5. Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
At March 31, 2023, the Company has advances from the FHLB of Dallas under note payable arrangements with maturities ranging from April 2023 to September 2032. Interest payments on these notes are made monthly. The weighted average interest rate of all notes was 4.98% and 2.42% at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The balances outstanding on these advances were $1,800,000 and $300,000 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Contractual maturities of FHLB advances at March 31, 2023 were as follows:
First year | $ | 1,725,000 | |||
Second year | — | ||||
Third year | — | ||||
Fourth year | — | ||||
Fifth year | — | ||||
Thereafter | 75,000 | ||||
$ | 1,800,000 |
The advances are secured by $82,156 of FHLB stock owned by the Company and a blanket lien on certain loans along with specific listed loans for an aggregate available carrying value of $6,103,264 at March 31, 2023. The Company had remaining credit available under the FHLB advance program of $2,938,693 at March 31, 2023.
At March 31, 2023, the Company had $1,354,265 in undisbursed advance commitments (letters of credit) with the FHLB. As of March 31, 2023, these commitments mature on various dates from April 2023 through February 2025. The FHLB letters of credit were obtained in lieu of pledging securities to secure public fund deposits that are over the FDIC insurance limit. At March 31, 2023, there were no disbursements against the advance commitments.

Note 6. Other Borrowings
Other borrowings totaled $337,607 and $267,066 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
On March 31, 2023, the Company redeemed $30,000 of its outstanding 5.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated debentures due December 31, 2027.
There were $100,000 borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2022 against the Company's revolving line of credit.
Note 7. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Contingencies
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. The commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of this instrument. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the approximate amounts of these financial instruments were as follows:
March 31, | December 31, | |||||||||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||||||||
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 3,138,593 | $ | 3,291,409 | ||||||||||
Standby letters of credit | 24,148 | 24,135 | ||||||||||||
$ | 3,162,741 | $ | 3,315,544 |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, farm crops, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
Letters of credit are written conditional commitments used by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Company’s policies generally require that letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan arrangements. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the table above. If the commitment is funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer.

Allowance For Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures is calculated under ASC 326, representing expected credit losses over the contractual period for which the Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from a contractual obligation to extend credit. Off-balance sheet credit exposures primarily consist of amounts available under outstanding lines of credit and letters of credit detailed in the table above. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur based on historical utilization rates. The allowance is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet commitments was as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||||||||
Balance at beginning of period | $ | 3,944 | $ | 4,722 | ||||||||||
Provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure | 811 | 757 | ||||||||||||
Balance at end of period | $ | 4,755 | $ | 5,479 |
Litigation
The Bank is a party to a legal proceeding inherited in connection with its acquisition of BOH Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary, Bank of Houston (BOH). On February 27, 2023, the Bank entered into a settlement in principle with the plaintiffs and executed a settlement agreement on March 7, 2023. Pending court approval, including entry of certain bar orders as described in the settlement agreement, the Bank will make a one-time cash payment of $100,000 to the court appointed receiver to settle the case and to resolve all current and potential future claims. Such settlement, which is expected to be paid in third quarter 2023, is recognized as litigation settlement expense on the accompanying income statement as well as $2,500 in contingent legal and other fees associated with the litigation and settlement.
In addition, the Company is involved in other legal actions arising from normal business activities. Management believes that the outcome of such proceedings will not materially affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Note 8. Income Taxes
Income tax (benefit) expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||
2023 | 2022 | ||||||||||
Income tax (benefit) expense for the period | $ | (11,284) | $ | 12,279 | |||||||
Effective tax rate | 23.1 | % | 19.5 | % |
The effective tax rates for 2023 and 2022 differ from the statutory federal tax rate of 21% largely due to tax exempt interest income earned on certain investment securities and loans, the nontaxable earnings on bank owned life insurance, nondeductible compensation, and state income tax. In addition, the 2023 rate is higher due to the Company being in a net loss position related to the litigation settlement.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
The Company elected the fair value option for certain residential mortgage loans held for sale in accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments. This election allows for a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company has not elected the fair value option for other residential mortgage loans held for sale primarily because they are not economically hedged using derivative instruments. See below and Note 10. Derivative Financial Instruments, for additional information.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
Investment securities available for sale
Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. Securities are classified within Level 1 when quoted market prices are available in an active market. Inputs include securities that have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. For securities utilizing Level 2 inputs, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury and other yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things.
Loans held for sale
Certain mortgage loans held for sale are measured at fair value on a recurring basis due to the Company's election to adopt fair value accounting treatment for those loans originated for which the Company has entered into certain derivative financial instruments as part of its mortgage banking and related risk management activities. These instruments include interest rate lock commitments and mandatory forward commitments to sell these loans to investors known as forward mortgage-backed securities trades. This election allows for a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the assets and the mortgage related derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Mortgage loans held for sale, for which the fair value option was elected, which are sold on a servicing released basis, are valued using a market approach by utilizing either: (i) the fair value of securities backed by similar mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole mortgage loan, including the value attributable to mortgage servicing and credit risk, (ii) current commitments to purchase loans or (iii) recent observable market trades for similar loans, adjusted to credit risk and other individual loan characteristics. As these prices are derived from market observable inputs, the Company classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures. For mortgage loans held for sale for which the fair value option was elected, the earned current contractual interest payment is recognized in interest income, loan origination costs and fees on fair value option loans are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. The Company has no continuing involvement in any residential mortgage loans sold.
Derivatives
The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to hedge exposure to interest rate risk and variability of cash flows associated to changes in the underlying interest rate of the hedged item. These hedging interest rate swaps are classified as a cash flow hedge. The Company utilizes a third-party vendor for derivative valuation purposes. These vendors determine the appropriate fair value based on a net present value calculation of the cash flows related to the interest rate swaps using primarily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves (Level 2 inputs).
The estimated fair values of interest rate lock commitments utilize current secondary market prices for underlying loans and estimated servicing value with similar coupons, maturity and credit quality, subject to the anticipated loan funding probability (pull-through rate). The fair value of interest rate lock commitments is subject to change primarily due to changes in interest rates and the estimated pull-through rate. These commitments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures, as the valuations are based on observable market inputs.
Forward mortgage-backed securities trades are exchange-traded or traded within highly active dealer markets. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, the Company utilized the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract; therefore these contracts are classified as Level 2. The estimated fair values are subject to change primarily due to changes in interest rates.
The Company also enters into certain interest rate derivative positions. The estimated fair value of these commercial loan interest rate swaps are obtained from a pricing service that provides the swaps' unwind value (Level 2 inputs). See Note 10, Derivative Financial Instruments, for more information.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents the assets carried on the consolidated balance sheet by caption and by level in the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded:
Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Other real estate owned | 23,900 | — | — | 23,900 | 3,548 |
Individually evaluated loans are measured at an observable market price (if available) or at the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral (if collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by appraisals or independent valuation, which is then adjusted for the estimated costs related to liquidation of the collateral. Management’s ongoing review of appraisal information may result in additional discounts or adjustments to valuation based upon more recent market sales activity or more current appraisal information derived from properties of similar type and/or locale. In addition, management's discounting criteria may vary for loans secured by non-real estate collateral such as inventory, oil and gas reserves, accounts receivable, equipment or other business assets. Management reviews the appraisals or valuations for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 5% to 8% of the appraised value. Therefore, the Company has categorized its individually evaluated loans as Level 3.
Other real estate owned is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment). Other real estate owned is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. When transferred from the loan portfolio, other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs and is subsequently carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated selling costs. The fair value is determined using an external appraisal process, discounted based on internal criteria. Management reviews the external appraisals for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 5% to 8% of the appraised value. Therefore, the Company has categorized its other real estate as Level 3.
In addition, mortgage loans held for sale not recorded under the fair value option are required to be measured at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of these loans is based upon binding quotes or bids from third party investors. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all mortgage loans held for sale not recorded under the fair value option were recorded at cost.

The methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, other than for those measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis discussed above, are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.
Certificates of deposit held in other banks: The fair value of certificates of deposit held in other banks is based upon current market rates.
Investment securities held to maturity: For investment securities held to maturity, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury and other yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security's terms and conditions, among other things.
Loans held for sale, at cost: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined based upon commitments on hand from investors.
Loans: A discounted cash flow model is used to estimate the fair value of the loans. The discounted cash flow approach models the credit losses directly in the projected cash flows, applying various assumptions regarding credit, interest and prepayment risks for the loans based on loan types, payment types and fixed or variable classifications.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and other restricted stock: The carrying value of restricted securities such as stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and Independent Bankers Financial Corporation approximates fair value.
Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate certificates of deposit (CDs) approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate CDs are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances, line of credit and federal funds purchased: The fair value of advances maturing within 90 days approximates carrying value. Fair value of other advances is based on the Company’s current borrowing rate for similar arrangements.
Other borrowings: The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for short-term borrowings. The fair value of private subordinated debentures are based upon prevailing rates on similar debt in the market place. The subordinated debentures that are publicly traded are valued based on indicative bid prices based upon market pricing observations in the current market.
Junior subordinated debentures: The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the published Bloomberg US Financials BB rated corporate bond index yield.
Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.
Off-balance sheet instruments: Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

Note 10. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815 which requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet. The Company has designated certain derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risk as hedge relationships with certain assets, liabilities or cash flows being hedged. Certain derivatives used for interest rate risk management are not designated in a hedge relationship and are used for asset and liability management related to the Company's mortgage banking activities and commercial customers' financing needs. All derivatives are carried at fair value in either other assets or other liabilities.
Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
The Company formally documents the relationship between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions at the inception of the hedge relationship. This documentation includes linking the fair value for cash flow hedges to the specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or the specific firm commitments or forecasted transaction. The Company assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative is settled or terminates, a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, a hedged firm commitment is no longer firm, or treatment of the derivative as a hedge is no longer appropriate or intended.
The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company has two interest rate swap derivatives with an aggregated notional amount of $100,000 that were designated as cash flow hedges. The derivatives are intended to hedge the variable cash flows associated with certain existing variable-interest rate loans and were determined to be effective during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest income in the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts of gains recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives was $743, net of tax, and the amounts of losses that were reclassified to interest income as interest payments were made on the Company’s variable-rate loans was $706, net of tax, during and for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Amounts of losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives was $3,922, net of tax, and the amounts of gains that were reclassified to interest income as interest payments were received on the Company’s variable-rate loans was $160, net of tax, during and for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $3,696 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest income.
Through its mortgage banking division, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments with consumers to originate mortgage loans at a specified interest rate. These commitments, which contain fixed expiration dates, offer the borrower an interest rate guarantee provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines and closes within the timeframe established by the Company. The Company manages the changes in fair value associated with changes in interest rates related to interest rate lock commitments by using forward sold commitments known as forward mortgage-backed securities trades. These instruments are typically entered into at the time the interest rate lock commitment is made.

The Company offers certain derivatives products, primarily interest rate swaps, directly to qualified commercial banking customers to facilitate their risk management strategies. The interest rate swap derivative positions relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap with a customer, while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with another financial institution. An interest rate swap transaction allows customers to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate. In connection with each swap, the Company agrees to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, the Company agrees to pay another financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount.
The following table provides the outstanding notional balances and fair values of outstanding derivative positions at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

The credit exposure related to interest rate swaps is limited to the net favorable value of all swaps by each counterparty, which was approximately $11,019 and $13,968 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In some cases, collateral may be required from the counterparties involved if the net value of the derivative instruments exceeds a nominal amount. Collateral levels are monitored and adjusted on a regular basis for changes in interest rate swap values. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, cash of $10,909 and $10,394 and securities of $486 and $509 were pledged as collateral for these derivatives, respectively, and counterparties had deposited $2,730 of cash with the Company as of March 31, 2023.
The Company has entered into credit risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which the Company is either a participant or a lead bank. Risk participation agreements entered into as a participant bank provide credit protection to the financial institution counterparty should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with that financial institution. The Company is party to no risk participation agreements as a participant bank at March 31, 2023. Risk participation agreements entered into as the lead bank provide credit protection to the Company should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract. The Company is party to one risk participation agreement as the lead bank having a notional amount of $9,014 at March 31, 2023.
The changes in the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and the forward sales of mortgage-backed securities are recorded in mortgage banking revenue. These gains and losses were not attributable to instrument-specific credit risk. For commercial interest rate swaps, because the Company acts as an intermediary for our customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts substantially offset each other and do not have a material impact on the results of operations.
A summary of derivative activity and the related impact on the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

Note 11. Stock Awards
The Company grants common stock awards to certain employees of the Company. In May 2022, the shareholders of the Company approved a new 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (2022 Plan). Under this plan, the Compensation Committee may grant awards to certain employees of the Company in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, qualified and nonqualified stock options, performance share awards and other equity-based awards. Effective with the adoption of the 2022 Plan, no further awards will be granted under the prior 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (2013 Plan). Awards outstanding under the 2013 Plan will remain in effect under the prior plan according to their respective terms and any terminated 2013 Plan awards will be available for awards under the 2022 Plan in accordance with the 2022 Plan's provisions. The 2022 Plan has 1,500,000 reserved shares of common stock to be awarded by the Company’s Compensation Committee. As of March 31, 2023, there were 1,367,851 shares remaining available for grant for future awards.

Shares issued under these plans are restricted stock awards and performance stock units at target award level. Restricted stock awarded to employees generally vest evenly over the required employment period and range from to five years. Performance stock units awarded have a to four year cliff vesting period. Restricted stock awards granted are issued at the date of grant and receive dividends. Performance stock units are eligible to receive dividend equivalents as such dividends are declared on the Company's common stock during the performance period. Equivalent dividend payments are based upon the number of shares issued under each performance award and are deferred until such time that the units vest and the shares are issued.

Performance Stock Units
Performance stock units represent shares potentially issuable in the future. The number of shares issued is based upon the measure of the Company's achievement of its relative adjusted return on average tangible common equity, as defined by the Company, over the award's performance period as compared to an identified peer group's achievement over the same performance period. The number of shares issuable under each performance award is the product of the award target and the award payout percentage for the given level of achievement which ranges from 0% to 150% of the target.
The following table summarizes the activity in nonvested performance stock units at target award level for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Compensation expense related to performance stock units is estimated each period based on the fair value of the target stock unit at the grant date and the most probable level of achievement of the performance condition, adjusted for the passage of time within the vesting periods of the awards. Compensation expense related to these awards was $486 and $386 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the unrecognized compensation expense assuming the target attainment is estimated to be $4,685, while the estimated maximum payout is $9,545. The remaining performance period over which the expense will be recognized is 2.31 years.

Note 12. Regulatory Matters
Under banking law, there are legal restrictions limiting the amount of dividends the Bank can declare. Approval of the regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels. For state banks, subject to regulatory capital requirements, payment of dividends is generally allowed to the extent of net profits.
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Tier 2 capital for the Company includes permissible portions of the Company's subordinated notes. The permissible portion of qualified subordinated notes decreases 20% per year during the final five years of the term of the notes.
The Company is subject to the Basel III regulatory capital framework (the Basel III Capital Rules). The Basel III Capital Rules require that the Company maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital adequacy requirements. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and requires increased capital levels for the purpose of capital distributions and other payments. Failure to meet the full amount of the buffer will result in restrictions on the Company's ability to make capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases and to pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers.
In February 2019, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that revised certain capital regulations under ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and included a transition option that allows banking organizations to phase in, over a three year period, the day one adverse effects of adoption on their regulatory capital ratios (three year transition option). In connection with the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2021, the Company recognized an after-tax cumulative effect reduction to retained earnings. The Company elected to adopt the three year transition option and the deferral has been applied in capital ratios presented below.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total, Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject, including the capital buffer requirement.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded those levels necessary to be categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, CET1, Tier 1 risk based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

Stock repurchase program: From time to time, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized stock repurchase programs which allow the Company to purchase its common stock generally over a one-year period at various prices in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In January 2023, the Company's Board established the 2023 Stock Repurchase Plan (2023 Plan), which provided for the repurchase of up to $125,000 of common stock through December 31, 2023. There were no shares repurchased under the 2023 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company repurchased 11,444 shares at a total cost of $813 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 under the prior plan. Federal bank regulators have adopted final rules that, among other things, eliminated the standalone prior approval requirement for any repurchase of common stock. However, the Company remains subject to a Federal Reserve Board guideline that requires consultation with the Federal Reserve Board regarding plans for share repurchases. The Company’s repurchases of its common stock may be subject to a prior approval or notice requirement under other regulations, policies or supervisory expectations of the Federal Reserve Board.
Company stock repurchased to settle employee tax withholding related to vesting of stock awards totaled 26,777 and 26,131 shares at a total cost of $1,617 and $1,976 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, and were not included under the repurchase program.
Note 13. Subsequent Events

Overview
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the major elements of the Company’s financial condition and results of operation as reflected in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This section should be read in conjunction with the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this report and with the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company was organized as a bank holding company in 2002 and, since that time, has pursued a strategy to create long-term shareholder value through organic growth of our community banking franchise in our market areas and through selective acquisitions of complementary banking institutions with operations in the Company’s market areas or in new market areas. On April 8, 2013, the Company consummated the initial public offering, or IPO, of its common stock which is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company operated 93 full service banking locations in north, central and southeast Texas regions, and along the Colorado Front Range region, with 61 Texas locations and 32 Colorado locations.
The Company’s headquarters are located at 7777 Henneman Way, McKinney, Texas 75070 and its telephone number is (972) 562-9004. The Company’s website address is www.ifinancial.com. Information contained on the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is not part of this or any other report.
The Company’s principal business is lending to and accepting deposits from businesses, professionals and individuals. The Company conducts all of the Company’s banking operations through its principal bank subsidiary. The Company derives its income principally from interest earned on loans and, to a lesser extent, income from securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. The Company also derives income from non-interest sources, such as fees received in connection with various deposit services, mortgage banking operations and investment advisory services. From time to time, the Company also realizes gains or losses on the sale of assets. The Company’s principal expenses include interest expense on interest-bearing customer deposits, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB) and other borrowings, operating expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy costs, communication and technology costs, expenses associated with other real estate owned, other administrative expenses, amortization of intangibles, acquisition expenses, provisions for credit losses and the Company’s assessment for FDIC deposit insurance.

Recent Developments
Stanford Litigation
As more fully discussed in Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings, in first quarter 2023, the Bank entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs to settle all claims of the ongoing lawsuit (Stanford litigation) and pending court approval expected in third quarter 2023, will pay $100.0 million under the terms of the settlement. While the Company denies any liability or wrongdoing with respect to this matter, it believes the settlement is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders as it eliminates risk, ongoing expense and uncertainty. The $100.0 million settlement, along with $2.5 million in estimated legal and other fees, is recorded to litigation settlement expense in the consolidated income statement. The recognition of this settlement has negatively affected the Company's earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2023, reducing net income by $80.1 million or $1.94 per diluted share.
Recent Banking Crisis
In light of recent events in the banking sector, including recent bank failures, continuing interest rate hikes and recessionary concerns, the Company has proactively positioned the balance sheet to mitigate the risks affecting the Company and the overall banking industry in order to serve its clients and communities.
•Liquidity remains strong, with cash and available for sale securities representing approximately 14.5% of assets at March 31, 2023. The Company maintains the ability to access considerable sources of contingent liquidity at the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank. Management considers the Company's current liquidity position to be adequate to meet both short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Refer to the section Liquidity Management for additional information.
•Capital remains strong, with ratios of the Company, and its subsidiary bank, well above the standards to be considered well-capitalized under regulatory requirements. Refer to Note 12. Regulatory Matters, included elsewhere in this report for additional details.
•Asset quality remains solid, with a non-performing asset ratio of 0.32% of total assets as of March 31, 2023 and net charge-offs of 0.04% annualized for the period, reflecting the Company's disciplined underwriting and conservative lending philosophy which has supported the Company's strong credit performance during prior financial crises. Refer to the section Asset Quality for additional information.
The duration of this crisis has been short but impactful to the Company. The Company will continue its safe and sound banking practices, but the continuing impact of the crisis and further extent on the Company's operations and financial results for the remainder of 2023 is uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations compares the operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 with the three months ended March 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for all of the year ending December 31, 2023.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $37.5 million ($(0.91) per common share on a diluted basis) compared with net income of $50.7 million ($1.18 per common share on a diluted basis) for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company posted annualized returns on average equity of (6.39)% and 7.99%, returns on average assets of (0.83)% and 1.12% and efficiency ratios of 132.41% and 55.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total noninterest expense (which excludes the provision for credit losses and the amortization of other intangible assets) by net interest income plus noninterest income.
44
Net Interest Income
The Company’s net interest income is its interest income, net of interest expenses. Changes in the balances of the Company’s interest-earning assets and its interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in the market interest rates, affect the Company’s net interest income. The difference between the Company’s average yield on earning assets and its average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities is its net interest spread. Noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, also support the Company’s earning assets. The impact of the noninterest-bearing sources of funds is reflected in the Company’s net interest margin, which is calculated as annualized net interest income divided by average earning assets.
Net interest income was $127.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 2.5%, from $131.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease in net interest income was primarily driven by the increased funding costs on our deposit products and FHLB advances as a result of the continued Fed rate increases offset to a lesser extent by increased earnings on interest earning assets, primarily loans and interest-bearing cash accounts. The decrease also reflects lower acquired loan accretion and PPP fees earned for the year over year period. Average interest earning assets decreased $163.7 million or 1.0%, to $16.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $16.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to lower average interest-bearing cash balances, which decreased approximately $1.6 billion, and decreases in average securities of $212.4 million, offset by increases in average loan balances of $1.6 billion. The yield on average interest earning assets increased 152 basis points from 3.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 4.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in asset yield from the prior year is a primarily a result of increases in the Fed Funds rate and also a result of the shift in earning assets from lower yielding interest-bearing deposit balances to higher yielding loans due to the strong loan growth for the year over year period. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 227 basis points to 2.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 0.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is reflective of higher funding costs, primarily on deposit products and FHLB advances as a result of Fed Funds rate increases. The aforementioned changes resulted in a 5 basis point decrease in the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 at 3.17% compared to 3.22% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to increased funding costs on deposits and short-term advances resulting from continued Fed rate increases over the year, offset to a lesser extent by higher earnings on loans due to organic growth and rate increases and higher earnings on interest-bearing cash balances due to rate increases.

Provision for Credit Losses
The measurement of expected credit losses under CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost. Provision for credit losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for credit loss accounts for various types of financial instruments including loans, held to maturity debt securities and off-balance sheet credit exposure, after net charge-offs have been deducted, to bring the allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management to absorb expected credit losses over the lives of the respective financial instruments. Management actively monitors the Company’s asset quality and provides appropriate provisions based on such factors as historical loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
Financial instruments are charged-off against the allowance for credit losses when appropriate. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the provision for credit losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the determination.
The following table presents the components of provision for credit losses:
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||||||||
Provision for credit losses related to: | ||||||||||||||
Loans | $ | (721) | $ | (2,200) | ||||||||||
Held to maturity securities | — | — | ||||||||||||
Off-balance sheet credit exposures | 811 | 757 | ||||||||||||
Total provision for credit losses | $ | 90 | $ | (1,443) |
Provision expense for loans is generally reflective of organic loan growth as well as charge-offs or specific reserves taken during the respective period. Provision expense is also impacted by the economic outlook and changes in macroeconomic variables. The negative provision expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily reflects improvement in risk-rated loans, while the negative provision recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily reflective of improvements in the economic outlook and diminished pandemic uncertainty over the period.
As discussed in Note 3. Securities, the Company reclassified a portion of its available for sale state and municipal portfolio to held to maturity during 2022 to limit future volatility due to expected increases in interest rates. The majority of securities in the held to maturity portfolio are guaranteed or insured. Therefore, there was no provision for credit losses on held to maturity securities recorded during the respective periods.
Changes in the allowance for unfunded commitments are generally driven by the remaining unfunded amount and the expected utilization rate of a given loan segment.

Total noninterest income decreased $131 thousand, or 1.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 over same period in 2022. Significant changes in the components of noninterest income are discussed below.
Service charges on deposits. Service charges on deposits increased $597 thousand, or 21.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was due to higher account analysis charges on our commercial treasury products.
Mortgage banking revenue. Mortgage banking revenue decreased $1.4 million, or 46.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to decreased demand and lower volumes, as well as narrower margins resulting from rate increases over the year. Also included in mortgage banking revenue was a fair value gain on our derivative hedging instruments of $75 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a fair value gain of $320 thousand for the same period in 2022.
Mortgage warehouse purchase program fees. Mortgage warehouse purchase program fees decreased $634 thousand, or 66.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily market driven with lower volumes due to mortgage loan rate increases over the year.
Loss on sale of loans. The Company recognized a $1.5 million loss on sale of loans in 2022 primarily due to one commercial real estate loan, which was sold at a discount.

Noninterest expense increased $106.9 million, or 129.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The significant change in the components of noninterest expense is discussed below.
Salaries and employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $3.3 million, or (6.6)% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to $2.0 million in lower combined salaries, bonus, payroll taxes and 401(k) expenses due to the fourth quarter 2022 reduction-in-force and overall strategic efforts to reduce costs, as well as lower contract labor costs of $954 thousand, $1.0 million of mortgage commissions and incentives and $953 thousand in employee medical insurance. In addition, deferred salaries expense, which reduces overall expense, was $1.4 million lower compared the prior year quarter due to lower loan origination activity.
Occupancy. Occupancy increased $1.6 million, or 15.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher depreciation and property tax expense related to the opening of the second phase of the Company's headquarters campus in second quarter 2022.
Communications and technology. Communications and technology increased $1.2 million, or 20.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher data processing costs and software expense related to various technology improvements.
FDIC assessment. FDIC assessment increased $1.2 million, or 81.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was due to an increase in assessment rates charged by the FDIC.
Impairment of other real estate. The Company recognized a $1.2 million impairment on one other real estate property during the first quarter of 2023, compared to none for the same period in 2022.
Litigation settlement. Litigation settlement of $102.5 million was recognized in first quarter 2023 due to the settlement of the ongoing litigation that was acquired by the Company in 2014, as discussed elsewhere in this report.
49
Other noninterest expense. Other noninterest expense increased $2.8 million, or 33.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase for the three month period was primarily due to asset impairment charges of $802 thousand related to the write-down of a branch that will be closed during second quarter 2023 and increases of $538 thousand in loan-related costs, $682 thousand in deposit-related costs, and increases in various other miscellaneous expense accounts.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax benefit was $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to income tax expense of $12.3 million for the same period in 2022. The effective tax rates were 23.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 19.5% for the same period in 2022. The higher effective rate for three months ended March 31, 2023 is due to the Company being in a loss position as a result of the settlement of the Stanford litigation. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflects a favorable permanent tax item related to a donation of real property as well as overall lower state tax rates.
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the financial condition of the Company as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and details certain changes between those periods.
Assets
The Company’s total assets increased by $539.9 million, or 3.0%, to $18.8 billion as of March 31, 2023 from $18.3 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase is due primarily to an increase in cash and cash equivalents during the period but also due in part to organic loan growth and increased FHLB stock holdings during the period.
Loan Portfolio
The Company’s loan portfolio is the largest category of the Company’s earning assets. The following table presents the balance and associated percentage of each major category in the Company's loan portfolio as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

50
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's loan portfolio, before the allowance for credit losses, totaled $14.0 billion and $13.9 billion, respectively, which is an increase of 0.7% between the two periods. Loans held for investment, excluding mortgage warehouse purchase loans, loans held for sale and PPP loans, increased $8.5 million, or 0.2% annualized for the three month period. See Note 4. Loans, Net and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans for more details on the Company's loan portfolio.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming Assets. The Company has established procedures to assist the Company in maintaining the overall quality of the Company’s loan portfolio. In addition, the Company has adopted underwriting guidelines to be followed by the Company’s lending officers and require significant senior management review of proposed extensions of credit exceeding certain thresholds. When delinquencies exist, the Company rigorously monitors the levels of such delinquencies for any negative or adverse trends. The Company’s loan review procedures include approval of lending policies and underwriting guidelines by the Company’s board of directors, an annual independent loan review, approval of large credit relationships by the Bank’s Executive Loan Committee and loan quality documentation procedures. The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to the risk that its loan portfolio will be subject to increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credit due to general economic conditions.
The Company classifies nonperforming loans as nonaccrual loans or loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Further information regarding the Company's accounting policies related to past due loans, nonaccrual loans and collateral dependent loans is presented in Note 4 - Loans, Net and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans.

Nonaccrual loans decreased slightly to $37.3 million as of March 31, 2023 from $37.8 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to net paydowns during the period.
Other real estate owned and other repossessed assets decreased from $24.0 million as of December 31, 2022 to $22.8 million as of March 31, 2023 due to a $1.2 million write down on a property due to a new appraisal.
52
Allowance for Credit Losses
The measurement of expected credit losses under CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held to maturity debt securities and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The CECL model requires the measurement of all expected credit losses on applicable financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. While historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, adjustments to historical loss information may be made for differences in current portfolio-specific risk characteristics, environmental conditions or other relevant factors. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance accounts is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Company's control, including the performance of the portfolios, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward classification of assets.

(1) Represents the percentage of the Company’s total loans included in each loan category.
As of March 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses on loans amounted to $146.9 million, or 1.08%, of total loans held for investment, excluding mortgage warehouse purchase loans, compared with $148.8 million, or 1.09%, as of December 31, 2022. The dollar and percentage decrease during 2023 is primarily due to net charge-offs of $1.2 million taken during the quarter.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had specific credit loss allocations of $10.0 million on individually evaluated loans totaling $34.7 million, compared with specific credit loss allocations of $9.6 million on individually evaluated loans totaling $34.5 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in specific credit loss allocations was due primarily to a doubtful commercial nonaccrual loan being added with a $501 thousand specific credit loss.
The factors driving significant changes in credit loss allocations by segment over the year are discussed below.
The allowance allocated to commercial loans totaled $53.1 million, or 2.4% of total commercial loans as of March 31, 2023, compared to $54.0 million, or 2.4% of commercial loans as of December 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses decreased $915 thousand, or 1.7% for the period. Modeled expected credit losses increased $2.9 million while qualitative factors related to commercial loans decreased $4.2 million. The increase in modeled losses was primarily related to changes in Moody's macroeconomic variables used in our model related to elevated risks within the portfolio including economic uncertainty, such as inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, weakening demand and labor challenges among other factors. The decrease in qualitative factors was primarily due to continued improvement in past due loans and lower overall balances in this portfolio segment. Specific allocations for commercial loans that were evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis increased $389 thousand from $8.4 million at December 31, 2022 to $8.8 million at March 31, 2023. The increase in specific allocations for commercial loans was primarily related to the addition of a $501 thousand nonaccrual loan downgraded to doubtful and fully reserved during the period offset by net principal reductions on other commercial loans.
53
The allowance allocated to commercial real estate loans totaled $59.1 million, or 0.7% of total commercial real estate loans as of March 31, 2023, compared to $61.1 million, or 0.8% of commercial real estate loans as of December 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses decreased $2.0 million, or 3.2% despite a $133.0 million increase in the commercial real estate portfolio. Modeled expected credit losses decreased $2.9 million while qualitative factors related to commercial real estate loans increased $915 thousand. The decrease in modeled losses was primarily related to the maturity mix of the portfolio as well as revisions in Moody's macroeconomic variables for commercial real estate. The increase in qualitative factors was due primarily to the increased balance of the portfolio and changes in risk ratings. Specific allocations for commercial real estate loans that were evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis remained at $1.2 million from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023.
The allowance allocated to residential real estate loans totaled $4.8 million, or 0.3% of total residential real estate loans as of March 31, 2023, compared to $3.5 million, or 0.2% of residential real estate loans as of December 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses increased $1.3 million, or 38.6% for the period. Modeled expected credit losses increased $410 thousand while qualitative factors related to residential real estate loans increased $920 thousand. The increase in modeled losses was primarily related to changes in Moody's macroeconomic variables used in our model related to elevated risks within the portfolio including economic uncertainty, such as inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, weakening demand and labor challenges among other factors. The increase in qualitative factors was due primarily to the increased balance of the portfolio. There were no specific allocations for residential real estate loans that were evaluated for expected credit losses on a individual basis at December 31, 2022 or March 31, 2023.
Refer to Note 4 - Loans, Net and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional details of the allowance for credit losses on loans.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net charge-offs totaled $1.2 million, which is 0.04% (annualized) of the Company's average loans outstanding during the period, compared to net charge-offs of $193 thousand, or 0.01% (annualized) of average loans for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The majority of the 2023 charge-offs is due to one charge-off of a construction loan totaling $1.2 million.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is calculated under the CECL model, representing expected credit losses over the contractual period for which the Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from a contractual obligation to extend credit. Off-balance sheet credit exposures primarily consist of amounts available under outstanding lines of credit and letters of credit detailed in Note 7. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Contingencies. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur based on historical utilization rates. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $4.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively.
55
Securities
The Company’s investment strategy aims to maximize earnings while maintaining liquidity in securities with minimal credit, interest rate and duration risk. The types and maturities of securities purchased are primarily based on the Company’s current and projected liquidity and interest rate sensitivity positions. Refer to Note 3. Securities for more details on the Company's security portfolio.
The fair value of the Company's available for sale securities decreased $16.4 million, or 1.0%, to $1.7 billion at March 31, 2023 from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to paydowns, maturities and calls during the quarter offset by a slight improvement in unrealized loss from December 31, 2022. The amortized cost of held to maturity securities decreased $457 thousand, or 0.2%, to $206.6 million as of March 31, 2023 from $207.1 million as of December 31, 2022.
Total securities represented 10.0% and 10.4% of the Company’s total assets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
There were no gains or losses on the sale of securities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.
Certain investment securities are valued at less than their amortized cost. At March 31, 2023, the Company's review of all securities at an unrealized loss position determined that the losses resulted from factors not related to credit quality. This conclusion is based on the Company's analysis of the underlying risk characteristics, including credit ratings, and other qualitative factors for each security type in the portfolio. The unrealized losses are generally due to increases in market interest rates. Furthermore, the Company has the intent to hold these securities until maturity or a forecasted recovery, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the securities before the recovery of their cost basis. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date. As such, there is no allowance for credit losses on available for sale or held to maturity securities recognized as of March 31, 2023. Refer to Note 3. Securities for more information on the Company's analysis of credit losses on securities available for sale and held to maturity.
Liabilities
The Company’s total liabilities increased $574.5 million, or 3.6%, to $16.4 billion at March 31, 2023 from $15.9 billion at December 31, 2022 due to the changes detailed below.
Deposits
Total deposits decreased $1.1 billion, or 7.0%, to $14.1 billion at March 31, 2023 from $15.1 billion at December 31, 2022. The decrease in deposit balances during the quarter was due to a strategic remixing of non-brokered specialty treasury deposits late in the quarter in response to the liquidity environment in March as well as to a gradual decline in noninterest-bearing deposits throughout the quarter. Estimated uninsured deposits, excluding public funds deposits totaled $5.3 billion, or 37.4% of total deposits as of March 31, 2023.
FHLB Advances
FHLB advances increased $1.5 billion, or 500.0%, to $1.8 billion at March 31, 2023 from $300.0 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was due to short term advances taken for additional liquidity sources due to the decreased deposit balances.
Other Borrowings
Other borrowings increased $70.5 million, or 26.4%, to $337.6 million at March 31, 2023 from $267.1 million at December 31, 2022. The increase is due to the $100.0 million draw on the Company's unsecured line of credit offset by the $30.0 million redemption of subordinated debentures during the quarter.
56
Capital Resources and Liquidity Management
Capital Resources
Total stockholders' equity was $2.4 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of approximately $34.5 million from December 31, 2022. The net decrease was a result of a net loss of $37.5 million, common stock repurchased of $1.6 million and dividends of $15.7 million offset by an increase of $17.9 million in other comprehensive income and stock based compensation of $2.4 million.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Company’s capital management consists of providing equity to support the Company’s current and future operations. The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies, including the TDB, Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements may prompt certain actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Please refer to Note 12. Regulatory Matters, in the notes to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional details.
Stock Repurchase Program
In January 2023, the Company's Board approved the 2023 Stock Repurchase Plan, which provides for the repurchase of common stock up to $125.0 million through December 31, 2023. No shares have been repurchased under the 2023 Plan through April 21, 2023.
See Part II, Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity and Use of Proceeds, in this report for additional information.
Liquidity Management
Liquidity refers to the measure of the Company’s ability to meet current and future cash flow requirements as they become due, while at the same time meeting the Company’s operating, capital and strategic cash flow needs, all at a reasonable cost. The Company’s asset and liability management policy is intended to maintain adequate liquidity and, therefore, enhance the Company’s ability to raise funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals and lending needs, maintain reserve requirements, and otherwise sustain operations. The Company accomplishes this through management of the maturities of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company believes that its present position is adequate to meet the current and future liquidity needs.
The Company continuously monitors its liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all of the Company’s short-term and long-term cash requirements. The Company manages its liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of customers, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of the Company’s shareholders. The Company also monitors its liquidity requirements in light of interest rate trends, changes in the economy and the scheduled maturity and interest rate sensitivity of the investment and loan portfolios and deposits.
Liquidity risk management is an important element in the Company’s asset/liability management process. The Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations, including payment of interest on deposits and debt, extensions of credit to borrowers, capital expenditures and shareholder dividends. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, redeployment of pre-paid and maturing balances in the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, debt financing and increases in customer deposits. The Company’s liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold, securities available for sale and maturing or prepaying balances in the Company’s investment and loan portfolios. Liquid liabilities include core deposits, brokered deposits, federal funds purchased and other borrowings. Other sources of liquidity include the sale of loans, the ability to acquire additional national market non-core deposits, the issuance of additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances, the issuance of debt securities, borrowings through the Federal Reserve’s discount window and newly established Bank Term Funding Program and the issuance of equity securities. For additional information regarding the Company’s operating, investing and financing cash flows, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows provided in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
57
Deposits represent the Company’s primary source of funds. The Company continues to focus on growing core deposits through the Company’s relationship driven banking philosophy and community-focused marketing programs. In addition to deposits, the Company utilizes FHLB advances either as a short-term funding source or a longer-term funding source and to manage the Company’s interest rate risk on the Company’s loan portfolio. FHLB advances can be particularly attractive as a longer-term funding source to balance interest rate sensitivity and reduce interest rate risk.
In addition to the liquidity provided by the sources described above, the Company maintains correspondent relationships with other banks in order to sell loans or purchase overnight funds should additional liquidity be needed. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had established federal funds lines of credit with 11 unaffiliated banks totaling $545.0 million with no borrowings against the lines at that time. Three of the lines totaling $115.0 million have stated maturity dates in May, September and December 2023 and the remaining lines have no stated maturity dates and the lenders may terminate the lines at any time without notice. The Company also participates in an exchange that provides direct overnight borrowings with other financial institutions with a borrowing capacity of $699.0 million with none outstanding as of March 31, 2023. The Company has an unsecured line of credit totaling $100.0 million with an unrelated commercial bank with $100.0 million borrowings against the line as of March 31, 2023. As of April 24, 2023, borrowings outstanding on the line of credit totaled $67.5 million.
Based on the values of stock, securities, and loans pledged as collateral, as of March 31, 2023, the Company had additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $2.9 billion. In addition, the Company maintains a secured line of credit through the Federal Reserve Bank discount window with availability to borrow $1.1 billion at March 31, 2023. Also starting in first quarter 2023, the Company is eligible to borrow from the Federal Reserve's Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP), which provides additional contingent liquidity through the pledging of certain qualifying securities and other assets. The BTFP is a one year program ending March 11, 2024 and the Company can borrow any time during the term and can repay the obligation at any time without penalty. Although the Company does not plan to access the BTFP, additional liquidity of $116.3 million was available as of March 31, 2023 based on the par-value of qualifying securities.
In the ordinary course of the Company’s operations, the Company has entered into certain contractual obligations and has made other commitments to make future payments. The Company believes that it will be able to meet its contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate cash levels. The Company expects to maintain adequate cash levels through profitability, loan and securities repayment and maturity activity and continued deposit gathering activities. The Company has in place various borrowing mechanisms for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs. These include payments related to (a) time deposits with stated maturity dates, (b) short and long term borrowings, (c) operating leases and (d) commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.
As discussed elsewhere in this report, the Company has accrued $100.0 million in connection with the settlement of the Stanford lawsuit, as well as $2.5 million in contingent legal fees associated with the lawsuit. Pending court approval and the entry of certain bar orders as required by the agreement, the Company expects to pay the obligation in third quarter 2023.
Other than the matter noted above and normal changes in the ordinary course of business, there have been no significant changes in the types of contractual obligations or amounts due since December 31, 2022.
The Company is a corporation separate and apart from the Bank and, therefore, the Company must provide for the Company’s own liquidity. The Company’s main source of funding is dividends declared and paid to the Company by the Bank. Statutory and regulatory limitations exist that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. Management believes that these limitations will not impact the Company’s ability to meet the Company’s ongoing short-term cash obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the Company’s reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances, results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
58
Accounting policies, as described in detail in the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements are an integral part of the Company’s financial statements. A thorough understanding of these accounting policies is essential when reviewing the Company’s reported results of operations and the Company’s financial position. The Company has deemed the accounting policy and estimate discussed below as most critical and require the Company to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these estimates, which are likely to occur from period to period, or the use of different estimates that the Company could have reasonably used in the current period, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company has other significant accounting policies and continues to evaluate the materiality of their impact on its consolidated financial statements, but management believes these other policies either do not generally require them to make estimates and judgments that are difficult or subjective, or it is less likely they would have a material impact on the Company's reported results for a given period.
Allowance For Credit Losses. Management considers policies related to the allowance for credit losses on financial instruments for loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures to be critical to the financial statements. The Company's policies for the allowance for credit losses are accounted for under ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. In accordance with ASC 326, the allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes that collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is increased (decreased) by provisions (or reversals of) reported in the income statement as a component of provisions for credit loss. Under the new guidance, the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is a liability account representing expected credit losses over the contractual period for which the Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from a contractual obligation to extend credit.
The amount of each allowance account represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses on such financial instruments using relevant available 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, credit quality, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, gross domestic product, property values or other relevant factors. The Company utilizes Moody’s Analytics economic forecast scenarios and assigns probability weighting to those scenarios which best reflect management’s views on the economic forecast.
The allowance for credit losses for loans is measured on a collective basis for portfolios of loans when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. For determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses on a collective basis, the loan portfolio is segmented into pools based upon similar risk characteristics and a lifetime loss-rate model is utilized. The measurement of expected credit losses is impacted by loan/borrower attributes and certain macroeconomic variables. Management has determined that they are reasonably able to forecast the macroeconomic variables used in the modeling processes with an acceptable degree of confidence for a total of two years then encompassing a reversion process whereby the forecasted macroeconomic variables are reverted to their historical mean utilizing a rational, systematic basis. Management qualitatively adjusts model results for risk factors that are not considered within the modeling processes but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within the loan pools. These qualitative factor (Q-Factor) adjustments may increase or decrease management's estimate of expected credit losses by a calculated percentage or amount based upon the estimated level of risk.
Due to the subjective nature of these estimates in general and more so due to the multiple, complex variables used in the calculation, the estimate for determining current expected credit losses is subject to uncertainty. The various components of the calculation require significant management judgement and certain assumptions are highly subjective. Volatility in certain credit metrics and variations between expected and actual outcomes are likely.
Further information regarding Company policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for credit losses is presented in Note 4. Loans, Net and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Note 7. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Contingencies.
59
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company has evaluated new accounting standards that have recently been issued and have determined that there are no new accounting standards that should be described in this section that will materially impact the Company’s operations, financial condition or liquidity in future periods.
60
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and other relevant market rates and prices, such as equity prices. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows, and future earnings. Due to the nature of our operations, we are primarily exposed to interest rate risk.
Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk
The principal objective of the Company’s asset and liability management function is to measure, monitor and control the interest rate risk within the balance sheet and a neutral interest rate risk position while maximizing net income and preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital. The Risk Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors has oversight of the asset and liability management function, which is managed by the Company's Treasurer. The Treasurer meets with the Company's Chief Financial Officer and senior executive management team regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of the Company’s assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, as well as local and national market conditions. That group also reviews the liquidity, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions of the Company.
The Company's management and the Board of Directors are responsible for employing risk management policies that monitor and limit the Company's exposure to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is measured using net interest income simulations and market value of equity analyses. These analyses use various assumptions, including the magnitude and timing of interest rate changes, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities and deposits, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows.
Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios, known as rate shock, are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in net interest margin.
The Company also analyzes the economic value of equity as an additional measure of interest rate risk. This is a complementary measure to net interest income where the calculated value is the result of the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities. The economic value of equity is a longer term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of the future cash flows. The impact of changes in interest rates on this calculation is analyzed for the risk to the Company's future earnings and is used in conjunction with the analyses on net interest income. The Company also runs customized scenarios to aid in decision making as well as stress test assumptions to confirm that the outputs are reasonable.
The Company conducts periodic analyses of its sensitivity to interest rate risk through the use of a third-party proprietary interest-rate sensitivity model that is run internally and has been customized to the Company's specifications. The analyses conducted by use of that model are based on current information regarding the Company's actual interest-earnings assets, interest-bearing liabilities, capital and other financial information that it supplies. The Company uses the information in the model to aid in its risk management framework surrounding the net interest margin.
The Company's asset liability management model indicated that it was in a liability sensitive position in terms of its income simulation as of March 31, 2023. The table below illustrates the impact of an immediate and sustained 200 and 100 basis point increase and a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates on net interest income over twelve months based on the interest rate risk model as of March 31, 2023:
Hypothetical Shift in Interest Rates (in bps) | % Change in Projected Net Interest Income | |||||||
200 | (0.79)% | |||||||
100 | (0.07) | |||||||
(100) | (0.27) |
The Company's model indicates that its projected balance sheet at March 31, 2023 has shifted to a liability sensitive position in comparison to an asset sensitive balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. The shift was primarily due to the increase in short-term FHLB advances that were added to increase the Company's on-balance sheet liquidity in response to market events at the end of the quarter but also due to slowing prepayments on loans during the quarter.
61
These are good faith estimates and assume that the composition of the Company's interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at each period-end is held consistent. Additionally, the forecast takes into consideration the future maturities and contractual interest rate repricing over the relevant twelve month measurement period. Lastly, the model assumes that changes in market interest rates are instantaneous and sustained across the yield curve regardless of duration of pricing characteristics of specific assets or liabilities. This analysis does not contemplate any actions that the Company might undertake in response to changes in market interest rates. As a result, the Company believes these estimates are not necessarily indicative of what actually could occur in the event of immediate interest rate increases or decreases of this magnitude. As interest-bearing assets and liabilities re-price in different time frames and proportions to market interest rate movements, various assumptions must be made based on historical relationships of these variables in reaching any conclusion. Since these correlations are based on competitive and market conditions, the Company anticipates that future results will likely be different from the foregoing estimates, and such differences could be material.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, the Company and the Bank are named as defendants in various lawsuits. Management of the Company and the Bank, following consultation with legal counsel, do not expect the ultimate disposition of any, or a combination, of these matters to have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company or the Bank.
The Bank is a party to a legal proceeding inherited in connection with the Company's acquisition of BOH Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary, Bank of Houston, or BOH, that was completed on April 15, 2014. Several entities related to R.A. Stanford, or the Stanford Entities, including Stanford International Bank, Ltd., or SIBL, had deposit accounts at BOH. Certain individuals who had purchased certificates of deposit from SIBL filed a class action lawsuit against several banks, including BOH, on August 23, 2009 in Texas state court, alleging, among other things, that the plaintiffs were victims of fraud by SIBL and other Stanford Entities and seeks to recover damages and alleged fraudulent transfers by the defendant banks.
The plaintiffs seek recovery from the Bank and other defendants for their losses. On May 1, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a motion requesting permission to file a Second Amended Class Action Complaint in this case, which motion was subsequently granted. The Second Amended Class Action Complaint presents previously unasserted claims, including aiding and abetting or participation in a fraudulent scheme based upon the large amount of deposits that the Stanford Entities held at BOH and the alleged knowledge of certain BOH officers. The case was then inactive due to a Court-ordered discovery stay issued March 2, 2015 pending the Court’s ruling on plaintiff’s motion for class certificate and designation of class representatives and counsel. On November 7, 2017, the Court issued an order denying the plaintiff’s motion. In addition, the Court lifted the previously ordered discovery stay. On January 11, 2018, the Court entered a scheduling order providing that the case be ready for trial on January 27, 2020. Due to agreed upon extensions of discovery on July 25, 2019, the Court amended the scheduling order to provide that the case be ready for trial on January 11, 2021. In light of additional agreed upon extensions of discovery deadlines, the Court entered a new scheduling order on March 9, 2020, which provided that the case be ready for trial March 15, 2021. In light of delays in discovery associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the parties agreed to amend the scheduling order with new ready for trial date of May 6, 2021. The Defendants filed a motion to remand the case. The Bank also filed its motion for summary judgment on February 12, 2021. On the same day, the Bank also joined in on an omnibus motion for summary judgment based on procedural issues common to all Defendants. On March 19, 2021, the Plaintiffs filed a notice of abandonment of five of the seven causes of action against the Bank. On March 11, 2021, the Defendants filed a motion to amend the scheduling order, which was granted, effectively vacating the May 6, 2021 trial date. On January 20, 2022 the Court issued an opinion and order denying the motion for summary judgment by the Bank and the other defendants. On the same date, the Court issued a suggestion of remand of the case to the Southern District of Texas. As of March 11, 2022, the case has been officially remanded to the Southern District of Texas. On January 2-3, 2023, the Bank attended court-ordered mediation which did not result in resolution. Trial was scheduled to begin on February 27, 2023.
As disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 27, 2023, the Bank entered into a settlement in principle with the Plaintiffs. A settlement agreement was subsequently executed by the parties on March 7, 2023. Pursuant to the settlement, the parties agreed to settle and dismiss the Stanford litigation and to seek the entry of bar orders from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas prohibiting any continued or future claims against the Bank and its related parties relating to Stanford, whether asserted to date or not. If the settlement, including the bar orders described in the preceding sentence is approved by the Court at a hearing set for August 8, 2023, and is not subject to further appeal, the Bank will make a one-time cash payment of $100 million to Ralph S. Janvey, in his capacity as the Court-appointed receiver for the Stanford litigation. The Bank is relieved of the trial setting subject to final Court approval of the settlement agreement reflecting the terms of the settlement and entry of the bar orders.
The settlement does not include any admission of liability of wrongdoing by the Bank, and the Bank expressly denied any liability or wrongdoing with respect to any matter alleged in the Stanford litigation. The Bank has agreed to the settlement to avoid the cost, risks, and distraction of continued litigation. The Company believes the settlement is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
This is complex litigation involving a number of procedural matters and issues and the Company has experienced an increase in legal fees associated with the defense of this claim and expects to continue to incur legal fees in connection with this matter until this matter is fully resolved.

If the settlement or entry of the bar orders is not approved by the Court for any reason, the Bank will continue to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
The Bank notified its insurance carriers of the claims made in the Second Amended Complaint. The insurance carriers have initially indicated that the claims are not covered by the policies or that a “loss” has not yet occurred. The Bank pursued insurance coverage as well as reimbursement of defense costs through the initiation of litigation and other means. On November 6, 2018, the Company settled claims under its Financial Institutions Select Policy pursuant to which the Company received payment of an amount which is not material to the operations of the Company. The Company did not settle any claims under its Financial Institution Bond Policy.
