NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This report is filed for Lakeland Financial Corporation (the "Company"), which has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Lake City Bank (the "Bank") and LCB Risk Management, a captive insurance company. Also included in this report are results for the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, LCB Investments II, Inc. ("LCB Investments"), which manages the Bank’s investment securities portfolio. LCB Investments owns LCB Funding, Inc. ("LCB Funding"), a real estate investment trust. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent reporting periods, including the year ending December 31, 2022. The Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with these statements.
Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." ASC 848 contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The Company has formed a cross-functional project team to lead the transition from LIBOR to a planned adoption of reference rates which could include Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), amongst others. The Company has identified certain loans that renewed prior to 2021 and obtained updated reference rate language at the time of renewal. Additionally, management is utilizing the timeline guidance published by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee to develop and achieve internal milestones during this transitional period. The Company's policy is to adhere to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol that was released on October 23, 2020.
The Company discontinued the use of new LIBOR-based loans by December 31, 2021, according to regulatory guidelines. The Company plans to transition LIBOR-based loans to an alternative reference rate on or before June 30, 2023. The guidance under ASC 848 will be available for a limited time, generally through December 31, 2022. The Company expects to adopt the LIBOR transition relief allowed under this standard, and does not expect such adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, "Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method." ASC 815 currently permits only prepayable financial assets and one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments to be included in a last-of-layer closed portfolio. The amendments in this Update allow nonprepayable financial assets to also be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method. That expanded scope permits an entity to apply the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and nonpreapayble financial assets, thereby allowing consistent accounting for similar hedges. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) and Vintage Disclosures." The guidance amends ASC 326 to eliminate the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructuring activities by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying TDR recognition and measurement guidance, creditors will determine whether a modification results in a new loan or continuation of existing loan. These amendments are intended to enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the amendments to ASC 326 require that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination within the vintage disclosures, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination. The guidance is only for entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2016-13 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption using prospective application, including adoption in an interim period where the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year, is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt the provisions of the ASU related to modifications during the second quarter of 2022, with retrospective application to January 1, 2022. Adoption of this portion of the standard did not have
a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of vintage disclosure provisions of ASU 2022-02 on its disclosures; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this portion of the standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Reclassification
Certain amounts appearing in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously reported.

On April 1, 2022, the Company elected to transfer securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity due to overall balance sheet management strategies. The fair value of securities transferred was $127.0 million from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. The unrealized loss on the securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity was $24.4 million ($19.3 million, net of tax) at the date of the transfer based on the fair value of the securities on the transfer date. The Company has the current intent and ability to hold the transferred securities until maturity. Any net unrealized gain or loss on the transferred securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the time of the transfer will be amortized over the remaining life of the underlying security as an adjustment to the yield on those securities. There were no securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and there were no securities classified as held-to-maturity at December 31, 2021.

Available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses at least quarterly. For available-for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, management first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through the consolidated income statement. For available-for sale debt securities that do not meet the above criteria and for held-to-maturity securities, management evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically
10

Table of Contents




related to the security and the issuer, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, management compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis for the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited to the amount that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. For available-for-sale debt securities, any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes.
No allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities was recorded at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. No allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity debt securities was recorded at June 30, 2022. Accrued interest receivable on securities totaled $9.5 million and $7.4 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
The U.S. government sponsored agencies and mortgage-backed securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major credit rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses. Therefore, for those securities, we do not record expected credit losses. State and municipal securities credit losses are benchmarked against highly rated municipal securities of similar duration, as published by Moody's, resulting in an immaterial allowance for credit losses.

NOTE 4. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for expected credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the principal is uncollectable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Allocations of the allowance are made for specific loans and for pools of similar types of loans, although the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged against the allowance. A provision for credit losses is taken based on management’s ongoing evaluation of the appropriate allowance balance. A formal evaluation of the adequacy of the credit loss allowance is conducted monthly. The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond the Company’s control.
The level of credit loss provision is influenced by growth in the overall loan portfolio, emerging market risk, emerging concentration risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentration, new industry lending activity, general economic conditions and historical loss analysis. In addition, management gives consideration to changes in the facts and circumstances
12

Table of Contents




of watch list credits, which includes the security position of the borrower, in determining the appropriate level of the credit loss provision. Furthermore, management’s overall view on credit quality is a factor in the determination of the provision.
The determination of the appropriate allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates by management. The Company has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses that generally includes consideration of changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio and overall portfolio quality, along with current and forecasted economic conditions that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay. Consideration is not limited to these factors although they represent the most commonly cited factors. To determine the specific allocation levels for individual credits, management considers the current valuation of collateral and the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows as the primary measures. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon an ongoing review of those credits. With respect to pools of similar loans, an appropriate level of general allowance is determined by portfolio segment using a probability of default-loss given default (“PD/LGD”) model, subject to a floor. A default can be triggered by one of several different asset quality factors, including past due status, nonaccrual status, material modification status or if the loan has had a charge-off. This PD is then combined with a LGD derived from historical charge-off data to construct a default rate. This loss rate is then supplemented with adjustments for reasonable and supportable forecasts of relevant economic indicators, particularly the unemployment rate forecast from the Federal Open Market Committee’s Summary of Economic Projections, and other environmental factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These environmental factors include consideration of the following: levels of, and trends in, delinquencies and nonperforming loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedure, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. It is also possible that these factors could include social, political, economic, and terrorist events or activities. All of these factors are susceptible to change, which may be significant. As a result of this detailed process, the allowance results in two forms of allocations, specific and general. These two components represent the total allowance for credit losses deemed adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Commercial loans are subject to a dual standardized grading process administered by the credit administration function. These grade assignments are performed independent of each other and a consensus is reached by credit administration and the loan review officer. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to an individual credit that indicate it should be evaluated on an individual basis. Considerations with respect to specific allocations for these individual credits include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the sufficiency of the customer’s cash flow or net worth to repay the loan; (b) the adequacy of the discounted value of collateral relative to the loan balance; (c) whether the loan has been criticized in a regulatory examination; (d) whether the loan is nonperforming; (e) any other reasons the ultimate collectability of the loan may be in question; or (f) any unique loan characteristics that require special monitoring.
Allocations are also applied to categories of loans considered not to be individually analyzed, but for which the rate of loss is expected to be consistent with or greater than historical averages. Such allocations are based on past loss experience and information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values. These general pooled loan allocations are performed for portfolio segments of commercial and industrial; commercial real estate, multi-family, and construction; agri-business and agricultural; other commercial loans; and consumer 1-4 family mortgage and other consumer loans. General allocations of the allowance are determined by a historical loss rate based on the calculation of each pool’s probability of default-loss given default, subject to a floor. The length of the historical period for each pool is based on the average life of the pool. The historical loss rates are supplemented with consideration of economic conditions and portfolio trends.
Due to the imprecise nature of estimating the allowance for credit losses, the Company’s allowance for credit losses includes an unallocated component. The unallocated component of the allowance for credit losses incorporates the Company’s judgmental determination of potential expected losses that may not be fully reflected in other allocations, including factors such as the level of classified credits, economic uncertainties, industry trends impacting specific portfolio segments, broad portfolio quality trends, and trends in the composition of the Company’s large commercial loan portfolio and related large dollar exposures to individual borrowers. As a practical expedient, the Company has elected to disclose accrued interest separately from loan principal balances on the consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, when a loan is placed on non-accrual, interest payments are reversed through interest income.
For off balance sheet credit exposures outlined in the ASU at 326-20-30-11, it is the Company’s position that nearly all of the unfunded amounts on lines of credit are unconditionally cancellable, and therefore not subject to having a liability recorded.

Credit Quality Indicators:
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis for Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful grade loans and annually on Pass grade loans over $250,000.
The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention. Loans classified as Special Mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as Substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans are considered to be "Pass" rated when they are reviewed as part of the previously described process and do not meet the criteria above, which are evaluated and listed with Substandard commercial grade loans and consumer nonaccrual loans which are evaluated individually and listed with “Not Rated” loans. Loans listed as Not Rated are consumer loans or commercial loans with consumer characteristics included in groups of homogenous loans which are analyzed for credit quality indicators utilizing delinquency status.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans:
The Company does not record interest on nonaccrual loans until principal is recovered. For all loan classes, a loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and in the process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collectability of principal or interest. Interest accrued but not received is reversed against earnings. Cash interest received on these loans is applied to the principal balance until the principal is recovered or until the loan returns to accrual status. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for a prescribed period, and future payments are reasonably assured.

When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the loan is expected to be repaid substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The class of loan represents the primary collateral type associated with the loan. Significant quarter over quarter changes are reflective of changes in nonaccrual status and not necessarily associated with credit quality indicators like appraisal value.

Modifications:
The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon origination. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes loses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company uses a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made at the time of a modification.
Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, the Company modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness that is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, the Company may allow a loan to go interest only for a specified period of time.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, no loans received a material modification based on borrower financial difficulty.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (Prior to January 1, 2022):
Prior to the partial adoption of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2022, which had an immaterial impact on the Company's allowance for credit losses, troubled debt restructured loans were included in the totals for individually analyzed loans. The following are disclosures related to troubled debt restructured loans in prior periods.
Troubled debt restructured loans are included in the totals for individually analyzed loans. The Company has allocated $5.8 million of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2021. The Company is not committed to lend additional funds to debtors whose loans have been modified in a trouble debt restructuring.

NOTE 5. BORROWINGS
No advances were outstanding with the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") as of June 30, 2022. For the period ended December 31, 2021, the Company had an advance outstanding from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) in the amount of $75.0 million. The advance was a ten-year fixed-rate putable advance with an interest rate of 0.39% and a maturity date of March 4, 2030. The note required monthly interest payments and was secured by residential real estate loans and securities. The FHLB exercised the putable option on the advance during the second quarter of 2022 and the note was repaid by the Company.
On August 2, 2019 the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit agreement with another financial institution allowing the Company to borrow up to $30.0 million; this credit agreement was subsequently amended and renewed on July 30, 2022. Funds provided under the agreement may be used to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program, which was reauthorized by the Company’s board of directors on April 13, 2021, and for general operations. The credit agreement includes a negative pledge agreement whereby the Company agrees not to pledge or otherwise encumber the stock of the Bank. The credit agreement has a one year term which may be amended, extended, modified or renewed. There were no outstanding borrowings on the credit agreement at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2  Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3  Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Table of Contents




The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:
Securities:  Securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are valued primarily by a third party pricing service. The fair values of securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are determined on a recurring basis by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or pricing models which utilize significant observable inputs such as matrix pricing. This is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). These models utilize the market approach with standard inputs that include, but are not limited to benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. For certain municipal securities that are not rated and observable inputs about the specific issuer are not available, fair values are estimated using observable data from other municipal securities presumed to be similar or other market data on other non-rated municipal securities (Level 3 inputs).
The Company’s Finance Department, which is responsible for all accounting and SEC disclosure compliance, and the Company’s Treasury Department, which is responsible for investment portfolio management and asset/liability modeling, are the two areas that determine the Company’s valuation policies and procedures. Both of these areas report directly to the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. For assets or liabilities that may be considered for Level 3 fair value measurement on a recurring basis, these two departments and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer determine the appropriate level of the assets or liabilities under consideration. If there are new assets or liabilities that are determined to be Level 3 by this group, the Risk Management Committee of the Company and the Audit Committee of the Board are made aware of such assets at their next scheduled meeting.
Securities pricing is obtained on securities from a third party pricing service and all security prices are tested annually against prices from another third party provider and reviewed with a market value price tolerance variance that varies by sector:  municipal securities +/-5%, government MBS/CMO +/-3% and U.S. treasuries +/-1%. If any securities fall outside the tolerance threshold and have a variance of $100,000 or more, a determination of materiality is made for the amount over the threshold. Any security that would have a material threshold difference would be further investigated to determine why the variance exists and if any action is needed concerning the security pricing for that individual security. Changes in market value are reviewed monthly in aggregate by security type and any material changes are reviewed to determine why they exist. At least annually, the pricing methodology of the pricing service is received and reviewed to support the fair value levels used by the Company. A detailed pricing evaluation is requested and reviewed on any security determined to be fair valued using unobservable inputs by the pricing service.
Mortgage banking derivative:  The fair values of mortgage banking derivatives are based on observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).
Interest rate swap derivatives:  Our derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. The fair value of interest rate swap derivatives is determined by pricing or valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).
Collateral dependent loans:  Collateral dependent loans with specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral when repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Fair value is determined using several methods. Generally, the fair value of real estate is based on appraisals by qualified third party appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. In addition, the Company’s management routinely applies internal discount factors to the value of appraisals used in the fair value evaluation of collateral dependent loans. The deductions to the appraisals take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as value impairment in cases where the appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. Commercial real estate is generally discounted from its appraised value by 0-50% with the higher discounts applied to real estate that is determined to have a thin trading market or to be specialized collateral. In addition to real estate, the Company’s management evaluates other types of collateral as follows: (a) raw and finished inventory is discounted from its cost or book value by 35-65%, depending on the marketability of the goods (b) finished goods are generally discounted by 30-60%, depending on the ease of marketability, cost of transportation or

scope of use of the finished good (c) work in process inventory is typically discounted by 50%-100%, depending on the length of manufacturing time, types of components used in the completion process, and the breadth of the user base (d) equipment is valued at a percentage of depreciated book value or recent appraised value, if available, and is typically discounted at 30-70% after various considerations including age and condition of the equipment, marketability, breadth of use, and whether the equipment includes unique components or add-ons; and (e) marketable securities are discounted by 10%-30%, depending on the type of investment, age of valuation report and general market conditions. This methodology is based on a market approach and typically results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Mortgage servicing rights:  As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 servicing assets for residential mortgage loans (“MSRs”) was $3.0 million, carried at amortized cost of $3.0 million less a $14,000 valuation reserve. These residential mortgage loans have a weighted average interest rate of 3.40%, a weighted average maturity of 21 years and are secured by homes generally within the Company’s market area of Northern Indiana and Indianapolis. A third-party valuation is used to estimate fair value by stratifying the portfolios on the basis of certain risk characteristics, including loan type and interest rate. Impairment is estimated based on an income approach. The inputs used include estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, late fees and float income. The most significant assumption used to value MSRs is prepayment rate. Prepayment rates are estimated based on published industry consensus prepayment rates. The most significant unobservable assumption is the discount rate. At June 30, 2022, the constant prepayment speed (“PSA”) used was 178 and discount rate used was 9.0%. At December 31, 2021, the PSA used was 249 and the discount rate used was 9.5%.
Other real estate owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property and are reviewed by the Company’s internal appraisal officer. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable properties used to determine value. Such adjustments are usually significant and result in a Level 3 classification. In addition, the Company’s management may apply discount factors to the appraisals to take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as value impairment in cases where the appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.
Real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale: Real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments, from third party investors, and result in a Level 2 classification.

NOTE 10. LEASES
The Company leases certain office facilities under long-term operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2037 and some include renewal options. Many of these leases require the payment of property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance, utilities and other costs. In many cases, rentals are subject to increase in relation to a cost-of-living index. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded as a right-of-use ("ROU") lease assets and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company's corresponding lease obligations are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. ROU lease assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating ROU lease assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU lease asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term leases are leases having a term of twelve months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related lease asset or liability for such leases, as allowed as a practical expedient of the standard.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Net income in the first six months of 2022 was $49.3 million, which increased $2.0 million, or 4.2%, from $47.3 million for the comparable period of 2021. Diluted income per common share was $1.92 in the first six months of 2022, up 3.8% from $1.85 in the comparable period of 2021. The increase in net income for 2022 was primarily due to growth in net interest income of $6.2 million, offset by a decrease in noninterest income of $2.7 million and an increase in noninterest expense of $1.5 million. Pretax pre-provision earnings in the first six months of 2022 were $59.9 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 3.5%, compared to $57.8 million for the comparable period. Pretax pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure calculated by adding net interest income to noninterest income and subtracting noninterest expense.
Annualized return on average total equity was 15.72% in the first six months of 2022 versus 14.49% in the comparable period of 2021. Annualized return on average total assets was 1.52% in the first six months of 2022 versus 1.58% for the comparable period of 2021. The Company's average equity to average assets ratio was 9.65% in the first six months of 2022 versus 10.92% in the comparable period of 2021.
Net income in second quarter of 2022 was $25.7 million, up 5.4% from $24.3 million for the comparable period of 2021. Diluted earnings per common share was $1.00 in the second quarter of 2022, up 5.3% from $0.95 in the comparable period of 2021. The increase was driven primarily by growth in net interest income of $5.0 million, offset by a decrease in noninterest income of $848,000 and an increase in noninterest expense of $1.3 million. Additionally, the Company recorded a reversal to the provision for credit losses of $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to no provision for credit losses recorded for the second quarter of 2022. Pretax pre-provision earnings in the second quarter of 2022 were $31.3 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 10.2%, compared to $28.4 million for the comparable period of 2021.
Annualized return on average total equity was 17.65% in the second quarter of 2022 versus 14.71% in the comparable period of 2021. Annualized return on average total assets was 1.59% in the second quarter of 2022 versus 1.58% in the comparable period of 2021. The average equity to average assets ratio was 9.03% in the second quarter of 2022 versus 10.76% the comparable period of 2021.

The Company’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was 8.92% at June 30, 2022, compared to 10.81% at June 30, 2021 and 10.70% at December 31, 2021. Tangible equity and tangible assets have been negatively impacted by the decline in market value of the Company's available-for-sale investment securities portfolio. The market value decline was a result of the yield curve steepening during the first half of 2022. The increase in market interest rates led to an unrealized loss in market value of $175.6 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to an unrealized gain in market value of $29.9 million at June 30, 2021 and of $21.6 million at December 31, 2021. When excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income on tangible common equity, the Company's adjusted tangible common equity to adjusted tangible assets ratio was 11.08% at June 30, 2022 compared to 10.49% at June 30, 2021 and 10.47% at December 31, 2021.
The Company elected to transfer $151.4 million in net book value of municipal bonds from the available-for-sale securities portfolio to held-to-maturity designation on April 1, 2022 as a balance sheet management strategy.
Total assets were $6.265 billion as of June 30, 2022 versus $6.557 billion as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of $292.2 million. Balance sheet contraction was driven primarily through decreases in cash and cash equivalents, deposits and borrowings during the first six months of 2022. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $513.7 million, deposits decreased $113.8 million and borrowings decreased $75.0 million. Offsetting these decreases were increases to loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, of $137.1 million, other assets of $58.4 million and total investment securities of $29.4 million. Total equity decreased by $142.8 million due primarily to a reduction to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $174.6 million. The reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income was caused by a decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale securities due to the steepening of the yield curve during the first six months of 2022. The change in total equity was also impacted by net income of $49.3 million and dividends declared and paid of $0.80 per share, totaling $20.4 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Certain of the Company’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Some of the facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for credit losses. See “Note 4 – Allowance for Credit Losses and Credit Quality” for more information on this critical accounting policy.

(1)Noninterest expense/net interest income plus noninterest income.
(2)Non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful to understanding the Company’s financial performance. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures are used by management for planning and forecasting purposes, including measures based on “tangible common equity” which is “total equity” excluding intangible assets, net of deferred tax, and “tangible assets” which is “total assets” excluding intangible assets, net of deferred tax. See reconciliation on the next page.
(3)Non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted tangible capital ratio excludes the market value impact of available-for-sale investment securities on tangible common equity and tangible assets. See reconciliation on the next page.
(4)Non-GAAP financial measure. Calculated by subtracting the impact PPP loans had on average earnings assets, loan interest income, average interest bearing liabilities, and interest expense. Management believes this is an important measure because it provides for better comparability to prior periods, given the low fixed interest rate of 1.0% applicable to PPP loans, and because the accretion of net loan fee income can be accelerated upon borrower forgiveness and repayment by the SBA. Management is actively monitoring net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis with and without PPP loan impact for the duration of this program. See reconciliation on the next page.
(5)Non-GAAP financial measure. Pretax pre-provision earnings is calculated by adding net interest income to noninterest income and subtracting noninterest expense. Management believes this is an important measure because it may enable investors to identify the trends in the Company's earnings exclusive of the effects of tax and provision expense, which may vary significantly from period to period. See reconciliation on the next page.

Net Income
Net income was $49.3 million in the first six months of 2022, an increase of $2.0 million, or 4.2%, versus net income of $47.3 million in the first six months of 2021. The increase in net income for 2022 was primarily due to growth in net interest income of $6.2 million, or 7.1%, offset by a a decrease to noninterest income of $2.7 million, or 11.4% and an increase to noninterest expense of $1.5 million, or 2.8%. Additionally, the change in provision for credit losses recorded during the period impacted net income, as $417,000 provision for credit losses was recorded during the first six months of 2022, compared to a reversal for provision expense of $223,000 during the first six months of 2021.
Net income was $25.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.3 million, or 5.4%, versus net income of $24.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to growth in net interest income which increased $5.0 million, or 11.5%, offset by a decrease to noninterest income of $848,000, or 7.5%, and an increase to noninterest expense of $1.3 million, or 4.7%. Additionally, the provision for credit losses recorded during the period impacted net income as no provision for credit losses was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a reversal for credit losses of $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

(1)Tax exempt income was converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis at a 21 percent tax rate. The tax equivalent rate for tax exempt loans and tax exempt securities acquired after January 1, 1983 included the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (“TEFRA”) adjustment applicable to nondeductible interest expenses. Taxable equivalent basis adjustments were $1.4 million and $791,000 in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
(2)Loan fees are included as taxable loan interest income. Net loan fees attributable to PPP loans were $180,000 and $2.8 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. All other loan fees were immaterial in relation to total taxable loan interest income for the periods presented.
(3)Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balance of taxable loans.
Net interest income increased $6.2 million, or 7.1%, to $93.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with $87.3 million for the first six months of 2021. Growth in core loans and investment security balances coupled with rising interest rates positively impacted investment security and loan income and offset the decline in PPP loan income of $8.8 million during the period. In addition, interest expense declined by $164,000, further benefiting the increase in net interest income. Average earning assets increased by $491.6 million, due primarily to growth in investment securities of $630.7 million. Average loans outstanding decreased $163.6 million to $4.364 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $4.527 billion during the same period of 2021. Average PPP loans decreased by $361.6 million to $13.6 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $375.2 million for the first six months of 2021. Excluding PPP loans, average core loans increased $198.1 million to $4.350 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $4.152 billion during the

same period of 2021. The earning asset growth was funded through an increase in deposits. Average deposits increased $552.4 million to $5.800 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $5.248 billion for the same period of 2021.

The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 3.10% during the first six months of 2021. The yield on earning assets totaled 3.35% during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 3.39% in the same period of 2021. Cost of funds (expressed as a percentage of average earning assets) totaled 0.26% during the first six months of 2022, compared to 0.29% in the same period of 2021. The lower margin was caused by reduced levels of PPP income recognition and changes in the earning asset mix during 2021 and 2022 to reflect increased investment securities and interest bearing deposits, which are lower yielding assets. Net interest margin excluding PPP loans was 3.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 3.00% for the same period of 2021.
Net interest income increased by $5.0 million, or 11.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increased level of net interest income during the second quarter of 2022 was largely driven by an increase in average earning assets of $232.3 million, due primarily to growth in securities of $520.9 million. This earning asset growth was funded through an increase in deposits. Average deposits increased $365.3 million to $5.753 billion for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $5.387 billion for the comparable period of 2021. During this same period, average core deposits increased $365.4 million. The Company defines "core deposits" as total deposits (including all deposits by municipalities and other government agencies), excluding brokered deposits. Long-term borrowings have decreased by $20.6 million during these comparable periods due to repayment of a putable $75.0 million advance with the FHLB during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The company’s net interest margin increased 25 basis points to 3.26% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 3.01% for the second quarter of 2021. The increased margin in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period was due to higher yields on loans, partially offset by a higher cost of funds. The higher yields were driven by three Federal Reserve Bank increases to the target Federal Funds rate in March, May, and June of 2022. The overall effect of these rate increases raised the Federal Funds rate by a cumulative 150 basis points and increased the target Federal Funds rate range from a zero-bound range of 0.00% - 0.25% prior to the first rate increase in March of 2022 to a range of 1.50 - 1.75% at June 30, 2022.
Total PPP loan income recognized for the second quarter of 2022 was $204,000 compared to $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of 94%. PPP interest and fees had a nominal impact on the second quarter 2022 net interest margin compared to net interest margin compression of 6 basis points for the second quarter 2021. Despite the decrease in PPP loan fee income, earning asset yields increased 30 basis points from 3.28% for the second quarter of 2021 to 3.58% for the second quarter of 2022. Offsetting the increased yield on earning assets was an increase to the company's cost of funds of 5 basis points. Interest expense as a percentage of earning assets increased to 0.32% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, from 0.27% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.
Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded no provision for credit losses expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a reversal for provision expense of $1.7 million during the comparable period of 2021. Net charge offs were $3,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to net recoveries of $1.6 million during the comparable period of 2021. The Company recorded provision for credit losses expense of $417,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a reversal for provision expense of $223,000 during the comparable period of 2021. Net charge-offs were $667,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to net recoveries of $1.5 million during the comparable period of 2021.

Additional factors considered by management included key loan quality metrics, including reserve coverage of nonperforming loans and economic conditions in the Company’s markets, and changes in the facts and circumstances of watch list credits, which includes the security position of the borrower. Management’s overall view on current credit quality was also a factor in the determination of the provision for credit losses. The Company’s management continues to monitor the adequacy of the provision based on loan levels, asset quality, economic conditions and other factors that may influence the assessment of the collectability of loans.

The Company's noninterest income decreased $2.7 million, or 11.4%, to $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $23.9 million in the prior year period. Notably, the fee-based businesses of wealth advisory fees improved by 5.5%, service charges on deposit accounts improved by 13.5%, loan and service fees improved by 4.6% and merchant card fee income improved by 23.8%. The decrease in noninterest income resulted primarily from reduced bank owned life insurance income of $1.7 million due to decline in the equity markets as well as $928,000 decline in mortgage banking income due to the impact of rising interest rates on reduced mortgage loan origination volumes.

The Company's noninterest income decreased by $848,000, or 7.5%, to $10.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. Noninterest income was positively impacted by elevated service charges on deposit accounts which increased by $361,000, or 14.3%, as a result of increased economic activity in the Company's operating footprint. In addition, loan and service fee income increased by $153,000, or 5.0%, merchant card fee income increased by $138,000, or 18.0% and wealth advisory fees increased by $126,000, or 6.1%. Driving the decrease was a reduction of $888,000 in bank owned life insurance income related to the company's variable life insurance policies. These policies are tied to the equity markets and can be subject to volatility based on market performance. In addition, other income decreased $445,000 which was caused by a reduction in income recognized during the quarter related to various limited partnership investment holdings and other non-recurring items.

The Company's noninterest expense increased $1.5 million, or 2.8%, to $54.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $53.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was due primarily due to an increase in other expense of $2.4 million, or 57.6%, driven by accruals for ongoing legal matters, offset by decreases in salaries and benefits of $957,000 and reduced professional fees of $743,000, or 20.0%.
The Company's noninterest expense increased by $1.3 million, or 4.7%, to $27.9 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $26.6 million in the second quarter of 2021. Other expense increased $1.4 million driven by accruals for ongoing legal matters. In addition, corporate and business development expenses increased $734,000, or 105.0%, and net occupancy expense increased $261,000, or 18.3%. The increase in corporate and business development expenses was primarily a result of increased sponsorships and contributions, including $150,000 given in $10,000 increments to the fifteen community foundations in our market footprint in recognition of Lake City Bank's 150th anniversary. In addition, corporate and business development expense reflects higher advertising costs and increased client development expense. The increase to net occupancy

expense was caused by budgeted repairs to company facilities. Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $964,000, or 6.1%, and professional fees decreased $425,000, or 23.1%. The decrease to salary and benefits was driven by reduced deferred compensation expense, which is tied to equity market performance of the underlying funds which are directed by the plan participants, and the reduction in professional fees was a result of reduced legal expenses during the second quarter of 2022.
The Company's efficiency ratio was 47.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 48.0% for the first six months of 2021. The Company's efficiency ratio was 47.2% for the second quarter of 2022 and 48.5% for the second quarter of 2021.
As previously disclosed, in the third quarter of 2019, the Bank discovered potentially fraudulent activity by a former treasury management client involving multiple banks. The former client subsequently filed several related bankruptcy cases, captioned In re Interlogic Outsourcing, Inc., et al., which are pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan. On April 27, 2021, the bankruptcy court entered an order approving an amended plan of liquidation, which was filed by the former client, other debtors and bankruptcy plan proponents, and approving the consolidation of the assets in the aforementioned cases under the Khan IOI Consolidated Estate Trust. On August 9, 2021, the liquidating trustee for the bankruptcy estates filed a complaint against the Bank and the Company, and has agreed to stay prosecution of the action through August 31, 2022. The action is focused on a series of business transactions among the client, related entities, and the Bank, which the liquidating trustee alleges are voidable under applicable federal bankruptcy and state law. The complaint also addresses treatment of the Bank’s claims filed in the bankruptcy cases. Based on current information, we have determined that a material loss is neither probable nor estimable at this time, and the Bank and the Company intend to vigorously defend themselves against all allegations asserted in the complaint.
The Company's income tax expense decreased $612,000, or 5.7%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The effective tax rate was 17.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 18.5% for the comparable period of 2021. The year-to-date effective tax rate for 2022 decreased as compared to the prior year primarily due to a higher percentage of income being derived from tax-advantaged sources as well as a larger tax benefit from stock-based compensation payments.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview
Total assets of the Company were $6.265 billion as of June 30, 2022, a decrease of $292.2 million, when compared to $6.557 billion as of December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a $513.7 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, offset by increases in loans net of the allowance for credit losses of $137.1 million, other assets of $58.4 million and secruities of $29.4 million. Loans excluding PPP loans increased by $157.8 million, or 3.7%, from $4.262 billion at December 31, 2021 to $4.419 billion at June 30, 2022. Total deposits decreased $113.8 million, or 2.0%. The decrease in deposits was primarily driven by contraction in retail and commercial deposits, which declined $117.5 million and $169.9 million, respectively. Public funds deposits increased by $173.5 million since year end. Core deposits were $5.612 billion as of June 30, 2022 compared to $5.725 billion as of December 31, 2021.
Uses of Funds
Total Cash and Cash Equivalents
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $513.7 million, or 75.2%, to $169.5 million at June 30, 2022, from $683.2 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2022 reflects an additional deployment of $250 million in funds to the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, funding of loan growth of $157.8 million, and repayment of an FHLB advance of $75.0 million. Cash and cash equivalents include short-term investments. Short-term investments include cash on deposit that earns interest such as excess liquidity maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank. Cash and cash equivalents balances will vary depending on the cyclical nature of the bank’s liquidity position.

Investment Portfolio
The Company elected to transfer $151.4 million in net book value of municipal bonds from the available-for-sale securities portfolio to held-to-maturity on April 1, 2022 as an overall balance sheet management strategy. The fair value of securities transferred was $127.0 million. The amortized cost and the fair value of securities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government agencies and government sponsored entities, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity. Management is aware that, as interest rates rise, any unrealized loss in the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio will increase, and as interest rates fall the unrealized gain in the investment portfolio will rise. Since the majority of the bonds in the investment portfolio are fixed-rate, with only a few adjustable-rate bonds, we would expect our investment portfolio to follow this market value pattern. This is taken into consideration when evaluating the gain or loss of investment securities in the portfolio and the potential for an allowance for credit losses.
Purchases of securities available-for-sale totaled $313.9 million in the first six months of 2022. The purchases consisted of U.S. Treasury securities, securities issued by government sponsored entities, mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities and state and municipal securities. The investment security purchases reflect the deployment of excess liquidity to the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio. Investment securities represented 22.8% of total assets on June 30, 2022 compared to 21.3% of total assets on December 31, 2021. The Company paused additions to the investment securities portfolio at the end of the second quarter as excess liquidity on the balance sheet was reduced by loan growth and deposit outflows during the quarter. Management expects to use cash flows from the investment securities portfolio to help fund loan growth and for the investment securities portfolio to represent a lower percent of total assets over time. Paydowns from prepayments and scheduled payments of $53.9 million were received in the first six months of 2022, and the amortization of premiums, net of the accretion of discounts, was $3.2 million. Maturities and calls of securities totaled $5.7 million in the first six months of 2022. There were no sales of available-for-sale investment securities in the first six months of 2022. No allowance for credit losses was recognized for available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securites in the first six months of 2022.
The fair value of the investment securities portfolio as of June 30, 2022 included an unrealized losses of $175.6 million compared to unrealized gains of $21.6 million as of December 31, 2021. Unrealized losses in the investment securities portfolio resulted from rising interest rates during the first six months of 2022.

The investment portfolio is managed by a third-party firm to provide for an appropriate balance between liquidity, credit risk, interest rate risk management and investment return and to limit the Company’s exposure to credit risk in the investment securities portfolio to a minimal level. The Company does not trade or invest in or sponsor certain unregistered investment companies defined as hedge funds and private equity funds under what is commonly referred to as the “Volcker Rule” of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Real Estate Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale
Real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale decreased by $4.8 million, or 64.6%, to $2.6 million at June 30, 2022, from $7.5 million at December 31, 2021. The balance of this asset category is subject to a high degree of variability depending on, among other things, recent mortgage loan rates and the timing of loan sales into the secondary market. The Company generally sells conforming qualifying mortgage loans it originates on the secondary market. Proceeds from sales of residential mortgages totaled $28.4 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to $71.0 million in the first six months of 2021. Management expects the volume of loans originated for sale in the secondary market to decline as compared to volumes originated in 2021 due to the rise in mortgage interest rates that have occurred during the first half of 2022. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of these loans were $379.8 million and $375.4 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The increase was primarily driven by originations of loans concentrated in the commercial and industrial categories and was offset by seasonal paydowns in the agri-business and agricultural loans segments and forgiveness of outstanding PPP loans. Total loans excluding PPP loans increased by $157.8 million, as of June 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021.

(1) On April 1, 2022, the Company adopted certain aspects of ASU 2022-02, whereby the Company no longer recognizes or accounts for TDRs. Adoption of this standard was retrospective to January 1, 2022.
Total nonperforming assets decreased by $2.5 million, or 16.3%, to $12.8 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2022. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets at June 30, 2022 decreased from 0.23% at December 31, 2021 to 0.20% at June 30, 2022.
A loan is individually analyzed when full payment under the original loan terms is not expected. The analysis for smaller loans that are similar in nature and which are not in nonaccrual or modified status, such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, is determined based on the class of loans. If a loan is individually analyzed, a portion of the allowance may be allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Total individually analyzed loans decreased by $5.6 million to $20.0 million at June 30, 2022 from $25.6 million at December 31, 2021.
Loans are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes that the principal is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb current expected credit losses relating to specifically identified loans based on an evaluation of the loans by management, as well as other current expected losses in the loan portfolio. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon a monthly review of those credits. General allowance is determined after considering the following factors: application of loss percentages using a probability of default/loss given default approach subject to a floor, emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentrations, new industry lending activity and current economic conditions. Federal regulations require insured institutions to classify their own assets on a regular basis. The regulations provide for three categories of classified loans: Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. The regulations also contain a Special Mention category. Special Mention applies to loans that do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management’s close attention. The Company’s policy is to establish a specific allowance for credit losses for any assets where management has identified conditions or circumstances that indicate an asset is nonperforming. If an asset or portion, thereof is classified as a loss, the Company’s policy is to either establish specified allowances for credit losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss or charge-off such amount.
At June 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses was 1.53% of total loans outstanding, versus 1.58% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2021. At June 30, 2022, management believed the allowance for credit losses was at a level commensurate with the overall risk exposure of the loan portfolio. However, if economic conditions deteriorate, certain borrowers may experience difficulty and the level of nonperforming loans, charge offs and delinquencies could rise and require increases in the allowance for credit losses. The process of identifying credit losses is a subjective process.

The Company has a relatively high percentage of commercial and commercial real estate loans, which are extended to businesses with a broad range of revenue and within a wide variety of industries. Traditionally, this type of lending may have more credit risk than other types of lending because of the size and diversity of the credits. The Company manages this risk by utilizing conservative credit structures, by adjusting its pricing to the perceived risk of each individual credit and by diversifying the portfolio by customer, product, industry and market area.
As of June 30, 2022, based on management’s review of the loan portfolio, the Company had 57 credit relationships totaling $192.1 million on the classified loan list versus 81 credit relationships totaling $234.5 million on December 31, 2021. The decrease in classified loans for the first six months of 2022 resulted primarily from paydowns and borrower risk rating upgrades to previously classified loans on the non-individually analyzed portion of the watchlist. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $149.8 million of assets classified as Special Mention, $42.3 million classified as Substandard, $0 classified as Doubtful and $0 classified as Loss as compared to $176.6 million, $57.9 million, $0 and $0, respectively, at December 31, 2021.
Allowance estimates are developed by management after taking into account actual loss experience adjusted for current economic conditions and a reasonably supportable forecast period. The Company has annual discussions regarding this methodology with regulatory authorities. Allowance estimates are considered a prudent measurement of the risk in the Company’s loan portfolio based upon loan segment. In accordance with CECL accounting guidance, the allowance is based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. For a more thorough discussion of the allowance for credit losses methodology see the Critical Accounting Policies section of this Item 2.
The allowance for credit losses decreased $250,000, from $67.8 million at December 31, 2021 to $67.5 million at June 30, 2022. Most of the Company’s recent loan growth has been concentrated in the commercial loan portfolio, which can result in overall asset quality being influenced by a small number of credits. Management has historically considered growth and portfolio composition when determining credit loss allocations.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repaid a $75.0 million putable advance with the FHLB. The Company utilizes wholesale funding, including brokered deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, to supplement funding of assets, which is primarily used for loan and investment securities growth.
Capital
As of June 30, 2022, total stockholders’ equity was $562.1 million, a decrease of $142.8 million, or 20.3%, from $704.9 million at December 31, 2021. Net income of $49.3 million increased equity. Offsetting the increase to stockholders’ equity was a decrease of $174.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which was primarily driven by a net decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale securities. Dividends declared and paid of $0.80 per share, or $20.4 million, also contributed the decrease to total stockholders equity.
The impact on equity for other comprehensive income (loss) is not included in regulatory capital. The banking regulators have established guidelines for leverage capital requirements, expressed in terms of Tier 1, or core capital, as a percentage of average assets, to measure the soundness of a financial institution. In addition, banking regulators have established risk-based capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations. As of June 30, 2022, the Company's capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized”.

the risks of changes in interest rates on the levels, composition and costs of deposits, loan demand, and the values and liquidity of loan collateral, securities and other interest sensitive assets and liabilities;
changes in borrowers’ credit risks and payment behaviors;
the failure of assumptions and estimates used in our reviews of our loan portfolio, underlying the establishment of reserves for possible credit losses, our analysis of our capital position and other estimates;
changes in the prices, values and sales volumes of residential and commercial real estate;
the effects of disruption and volatility in capital markets on the value of our investment portfolio;
the risk of labor availability, trade policy and tariffs, as well as supply chain constraints could impact loan demand from the manufacturing sector;
changes in the scope and cost of FDIC insurance, the state of Indiana’s Public Deposit Insurance Fund and other coverages;
changes in the availability and cost of credit and capital in the financial markets;
the anticipated phase out of most LIBOR tenors by mid-2023 and establishment of a new reference rate or rates;

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk represents the Company’s primary market risk exposure. The Company does not have a material exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, does not have any material amount of derivative financial instruments and does not maintain a trading portfolio. The Corporate Risk Committee of the Board of Directors annually reviews and approves the policy used to manage interest rate risk. The policy was last reviewed and approved in July 2022. The policy sets guidelines for balance sheet structure, which are designed to protect the Company from the impact that interest rate changes could have on net income but do not necessarily indicate the effect on future net interest income. The Company, through the Bank's Asset and Liability Committee, manages interest rate risk by monitoring the computer simulated earnings impact of various rate scenarios and general market conditions. The Company then modifies its long-term risk parameters by attempting to generate the types of loans, investments, and deposits that currently fit the Company’s needs, as determined by the Asset and Liability Committee. This computer simulation analysis measures the net interest income impact of various interest rate scenario changes during the next twelve months. The Company continually evaluates the assumptions used in the model. The current balance sheet structure is considered to be within acceptable risk levels.
Interest rate scenarios for the base, falling 100 basis points, falling 50 basis points, falling 25 basis points, rising 25 basis points, rising 50 basis points, rising 100 basis points, rising 200 basis points and rising 300 basis points are listed below based upon the Company’s rate sensitive assets and liabilities at June 30, 2022. The net interest income shown represents cumulative net interest income over a twelve-month time horizon. Balance sheet assumptions used for the base scenario are the same for the rising and falling simulations.
The base scenario is an annual calculation that is highly dependent on numerous assumptions embedded in the model. While the base sensitivity analysis incorporates management’s best estimate of interest rate and balance sheet dynamics under various market rate movements, the actual behavior and resulting earnings impact will likely differ from that projected. For certain assets, the base simulation model captures the expected prepayment behavior under changing interest rate environments. Assumptions and methodologies regarding the interest rate or balance behavior of indeterminate maturity core deposit products, such as savings, money market, NOW and demand deposits reflect management’s best estimate of expected future behavior.
