NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

March 31, 2022

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

National Bank Holdings Corporation ("NBHC" or the "Company") is a bank holding company that was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2009. The Company is headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and its primary operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, NBH Bank, (the "Bank"), a Colorado state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Company provides a variety of banking products to both commercial and consumer clients through a network of 81 banking centers, as of March 31, 2022, located primarily in Colorado, the greater Kansas City region, Texas, Utah and New Mexico, as well as through online and mobile banking products and services.

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements serve to update the National Bank Holdings Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, NBH Bank. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and where applicable, with general practices in the banking industry or guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory agencies. However, they may not include all information and notes necessary to constitute a complete set of financial statements under GAAP applicable to annual periods and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the financial information contained in the Company's most recent Form 10-K. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications of prior years' amounts are made whenever necessary to conform to current period presentation. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period. All amounts are in thousands, except share data, or as otherwise noted.

GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. By their nature, estimates are based on judgment and available information. Management has made significant estimates in certain areas, such as the fair values of financial instruments, contingent liabilities and the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). Because of the inherent uncertainties associated with any estimation process and future changes in market and economic conditions, it is possible that actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The Company's significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 2 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2021 and are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2021.

Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not adopted any recent accounting pronouncements in addition to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Note 3 Investment Securities

The Company’s investment securities portfolio is comprised of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities.

Management evaluated all of the available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The portfolio included 148 securities, which were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2022, compared to 49 securities at December 31, 2021. The unrealized losses in the Company's investment portfolio at March 31, 2022 were caused by changes in interest rates. The Company has no intention to sell these securities and believes it will not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost. Management believes that default of the available-for-sale securities is highly unlikely. FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities have a long history of zero credit losses, an explicit guarantee by the U.S. government (although limited for FNMA and FHLMC securities) and yields that generally trade based on market views of prepayment and liquidity risk rather than credit risk.

Certain securities are pledged as collateral for public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and to secure borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), if needed. The fair value of available-for-sale investment securities pledged as collateral totaled $374.1 million and $363.4 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Bank may also pledge available-for-sale investment securities as collateral for Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. No securities were pledged for this purpose at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

The Company does not measure expected credit losses on a financial asset, or group of financial assets, in which historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts results in an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. Management evaluated held-to-maturity securities noting they are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored entities, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given this governmental backing and long history without credit losses. Additionally, management notes that yields on which the portfolio generally trades are based upon market views of prepayment and liquidity risk and not credit risk. The Company has no intention to sell any held-to-maturity securities and believes it will not be required to sell any held-to-maturity securities before the recovery of their amortized cost.

Certain securities are pledged as collateral for public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and to secure borrowing capacity at the FRB, if needed. The carrying value of held-to-maturity investment securities pledged as collateral totaled $179.1 million and $147.3 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Bank may also pledge held-to-maturity investment securities as collateral for FHLB advances. No held-to-maturity investment securities were pledged for this purpose at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Actual maturities of mortgage-backed securities may differ from scheduled maturities depending on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying financial instruments.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, AIR from held-to-maturity investment securities totaled $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and was included within other assets on the statements of financial condition.

Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. Non-accrual loans include non-accrual loans and troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) on non-accrual status. There was no interest income recognized from non-accrual loans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.

The Company’s internal risk rating system uses a series of grades, which reflect our assessment of the credit quality of loans based on an analysis of the borrower's financial condition, liquidity and ability to meet contractual debt service requirements and are categorized as “Pass”, “Special mention”, “Substandard” and “Doubtful”. For a description of the general characteristics of the risk grades, refer to note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our audited consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Loans evaluated individually

We evaluate loans individually when they no longer share risk characteristics with pooled loans. These loans include loans on non-accrual status, loans in bankruptcy, and TDRs as described below. If a specific allowance is warranted based on the borrower’s overall financial condition, the specific allowance is calculated based on discounted expected cash flows using the loan’s initial contractual effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral less selling costs for collateral-dependent loans.

A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Management individually evaluates collateral-dependent loans with an amortized cost basis of $250 thousand or more and includes collateral-dependent loans less than $250 thousand within the general allowance population. The amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans over $250 thousand was as follows at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Loan modifications and troubled debt restructurings

The Company’s policy is to review each prospective credit to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of security or collateral prior to making a loan. In the event of borrower default, the Company seeks recovery in compliance with lending laws, the respective loan agreements, and credit monitoring and remediation procedures that may include restructuring a loan to provide a concession by the Company to the borrower from their original terms due to borrower financial difficulties in order to facilitate repayment. Additionally, if a borrower’s repayment obligation has been discharged by a court, and that debt has not been reaffirmed by the borrower, regardless of past due status, the loan is considered to be a TDR.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company restructured four loans with an amortized cost basis of $0.6 million to facilitate repayment that are considered TDRs. Loan modifications were a reduction of the principal payment, a reduction in interest rate, or an extension of term. The tables below provide additional information related to accruing TDRs at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Consumer		—		—
Total non-accruing TDRs	$	2,491	$	2,366

Accrual of interest is resumed on loans that were previously on non-accrual only after the loan has performed sufficiently for a period of time. The Company had no TDRs that were modified within the past twelve months and had defaulted on their restructured terms during the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had two TDRs totaling $1.6 million that were modified within the past twelve months and had defaulted on their restructured terms. For purposes of this disclosure, the Company considers “default” to mean 90 days or more past due on principal or interest. The allowance for credit losses related to TDRs on non-accrual status is determined by individual evaluation, including collateral adequacy, using the same process as loans on non-accrual status which are not classified as TDRs.

In evaluating the loan portfolio for an appropriate ACL level, excluding loans evaluated individually, loans were grouped into segments based on broad characteristics such as primary use and underlying collateral. Within the segments, the portfolio was further disaggregated into classes of loans with similar attributes and risk characteristics for purposes of developing the underlying data used within the discounted cash flow model including, but not limited to, prepayment and recovery rates as well as loss rates tied to macro-economic conditions within management’s reasonable and supportable forecast. The ACL also includes subjective adjustments based upon qualitative risk factors including asset quality, loss trends, lending management, portfolio growth and loan review/internal audit results.

Net charge-offs on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $0.6 million. The Company recorded an allowance for loan losses provision release of $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 driven by strong asset quality.

Net charge-offs on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $0.1 million. The Company recorded an allowance for loan losses provision release of $3.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, which included a provision release of $4.6 million for funded loans and a provision expense of $1.0 million for unfunded loan commitments. The provision release was driven by strong asset quality and an improved outlook in the CECL model’s underlying economic forecast.

The Company has elected to exclude AIR from the allowance for credit losses calculation. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, AIR from loans totaled $19.0 million and $15.7 million, respectively.

Note 8 Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and core deposit intangible

In connection with our acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill of $115.0 million. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the fair value of consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. No goodwill impairment was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or the year ended December 31, 2021.

The gross carrying amount of the core deposit intangibles and the associated accumulated amortization at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are presented as follows:

Mortgage servicing rights

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) represent rights to service loans originated by the Company and sold to government-sponsored enterprises including FHLMC, FNMA, GNMA and FHLB and are included in other assets in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Mortgage loans serviced for others were $0.8 billion and $1.6 billion at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Table of Contents

Below are the changes in the MSRs for the periods presented:


	For the three months ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Beginning balance	$	5,957	$	10,380
Originations		1,679		2,869
Recovery		6		671
Amortization		(206)		(968)
Ending balance		7,436		12,952
Fair value of mortgage servicing rights	$	10,834	$	16,171

The fair value of MSRs was determined based upon a discounted cash flow analysis. The cash flow analysis included assumptions for discount rates and prepayment speeds. Discount rates ranged from 9.5% to 10.0%, and the constant prepayment speed ranged from 7.7% to 13.0% for the March 31, 2022 valuation. Discount rates ranged from 9.5% to 10.5%, and the constant prepayment speed ranged from 11.2% to 17.5% for the March 31, 2021 valuation. Included in mortgage banking income in the consolidated statements of operations was servicing income of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

MSRs are evaluated and impairment is recognized to the extent fair value is less than the carrying amount. The Company evaluates impairment by stratifying MSRs based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans, including loan type and loan term. The Company is amortizing the MSRs in proportion to and over the period of the estimated net servicing income of the underlying loans.

The following table shows the estimated future amortization expense for the MSRs as of March 31, 2022:


Years ending December 31,		Amount
For the nine months ending December 31, 2022	$	682
For the year ending December 31, 2023		825

financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 203 basis points. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the note for general corporate purposes. Prior to November 5, 2026, the Company may redeem the note only under certain limited circumstances. Beginning on November 5, 2026 through maturity, the note may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, on any scheduled interest payment date. Any redemption by the Company would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the note being redeemed, together with any accrued and unpaid interest on the note being redeemed up to but excluding the date of redemption. The note is not subject to redemption at the option of the holder.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances

As a member of the FHLB, the Bank has access to a line of credit and term financing from the FHLB with total available credit of $0.9 billion at March 31, 2022. The Bank may utilize its FHLB line of credit as a funding mechanism for originated loans and loans held for sale. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank had no outstanding borrowings from the FHLB. The Bank may pledge investment securities and loans as collateral for FHLB advances. There were no investment securities pledged at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Loans pledged were $1.3 billion and $1.3 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. There was no interest expense related to FHLB advances and other short-term borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.

Note 10 Regulatory Capital

As a bank holding company that has elected to be treated as a financial holding company, the Company and NBH Bank is subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements implemented by the Federal Reserve, including maintaining capital positions at the “well-capitalized” level. The federal banking agencies have risk-based capital adequacy regulations intended to provide a measure of capital adequacy that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization’s operations. Under these regulations, assets are assigned to one of several risk categories, and nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance-sheet items are multiplied by a risk adjustment percentage for the category.

Under the Basel III requirements, at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company and the Bank met all capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. The Company and Bank had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions, as detailed in the tables below.

Note 11 Revenue from Contracts with Clients

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with clients are satisfied. Below is the detail of the Company’s revenue from contracts with clients.

Service charges and other fees

Service charge fees are primarily comprised of monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. Other fees include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account-related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to clients’ accounts.

Bank card fees

Bank card fees are primarily comprised of debit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other fees. Debit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Bank cardholder uses a non-Bank ATM or a non-Bank cardholder uses a Bank ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit card transactions. The Company’s performance obligation for bank card fees are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

Gain on OREO sales, net

Gain on OREO sales, net is recognized when the Company meets its performance obligation to transfer title to the buyer. The gain or loss is measured as the excess of the proceeds received compared to the OREO carrying value. Sales proceeds are received in cash at the time of transfer.

Table of Contents

The following table presents non-interest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, and non-interest expense in-scope of Topic 606 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Contract acquisition costs

The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to expense immediately contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. The Company has not capitalized any contract acquisition costs.

Note 12 Stock-based Compensation and Benefits

The Company provides stock-based compensation in accordance with shareholder-approved plans and is authorized to issue awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, other stock-based awards, or any combination thereof to eligible persons.

Stock options

The Company issues stock options, which are primarily time-vesting with 1/3 vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant or date of hire. The expense associated with the awarded stock options was measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The outstanding option awards vest or have vested on a graded basis over 1-4 years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022:


				Weighted

Stock option expense is a component of salaries and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $97 thousand and $140 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, there was $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Restricted stock awards

The Company issues primarily time-based restricted stock awards that vest over a range of a 1-3 year period. Restricted stock with time-based vesting was valued at the fair value of the shares on the date of grant as they are assumed to be held beyond the vesting period.

Performance stock units

The Company grants performance stock units which represent initial target awards and do not reflect potential increases or decreases resulting from the final performance results, which are to be determined at the end of the three-year performance period (vesting date). The actual number of shares to be awarded at the end of the performance period will range from 0% - 150% of the initial target awards. For awards granted prior to 2020, 60% of the award is based on the Company’s cumulative earnings per share (EPS target) during the performance period, and 40% of the award is based on the Company’s cumulative total shareholder return (TSR target), or TSR, during the performance period. On the vesting date, the Company’s TSR will be compared to the respective TSRs of the companies comprising the KBW Regional Index at the grant date to determine the shares awarded. The fair value of the EPS target portion of the award was determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of the TSR target portion of the award was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation at the grant date.

In establishing the PSU components during 2021 and 2020, the Compensation Committee determined the EPS target portion of the award would not be an effective metric in light of economic uncertainty surrounding COVID-19. Consequently, the Compensation Committee granted an award based upon a relative return on tangible assets (“ROTA”). Annually, the Company’s ROTA is compared to the respective ROTA of companies comprising the KBW Regional Index. At the end of the measurement period, the Company’s ranking will be averaged to determine the shares awarded. The fair value of the ROTA award was determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

The weighted-average grant date fair value per unit for the ROTA target portion and the TSR target portion granted during 2021 was $40.16 and $33.11, respectively. The initial weighted-average performance price for the TSR target portion granted during 2021 was $33.04. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company awarded an additional 17,741 units due to final performance results related to performance stock units granted in 2019.

The following table summarizes restricted stock and performance stock unit activity during the three months ended March 31, 2022:


		Weighted				Weighted
	Restricted	average grant-		Performance		average grant-

As of March 31, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock awards and performance stock units totaled $1.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years and 1.7 years, respectively. Expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards totaled $0.6 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Expense related to non-vested performance stock units totaled $0.4 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards and units is a component of salaries and benefits in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) is intended to be a qualified plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and allows eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions up to a limit of

Table of Contents

$25,000 per calendar year and 2,000 shares per offering period. The price an employee pays for shares is 90.0% of the fair market value of Company common stock on the last day of the offering period. The offering periods are the six-month periods commencing on March 1 and September 1 of each year and ending on August 31 and February 28 (or February 29 in the case of a leap year) of each year. There are no vesting or other restrictions on the stock purchased by employees under the ESPP. Under the ESPP, the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance totaled 400,000 shares, of which 273,868 was available for issuance at March 31, 2022.

Under the ESPP, employees purchased 8,028 shares and 8,971 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 13 Common Stock

The Company had 30,008,781 and 29,958,764 shares of Class A common stock outstanding at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Additionally, the Company had 142,275 and 144,467 shares outstanding at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, of restricted Class A common stock issued but not yet vested under the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan that are not included in shares outstanding until such time that they are vested; however, these shares do have voting and certain dividend rights during the vesting period.

On February 24, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $75.0 million of the Company’s stock from time to time in either the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The remaining authorization under the current program as of March 31, 2022 was $38.6 million.

Note 14 Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share under the two-class method, as certain non-vested share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. As such, these awards are considered securities that participate in the earnings of the Company. Non-vested shares are discussed further in note 12.

The Company had 30,008,781 and 30,715,790 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, exclusive of issued non-vested restricted shares. Certain stock options and non-vested restricted shares are potentially dilutive securities, but are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	For the three months ended

Basic earnings per share	$	0.61	$	0.87
Diluted earnings per share		0.60		0.86

The Company had 691,083 and 726,106 outstanding stock options to purchase common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $28.18 and $26.40 per share at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which have time-vesting criteria, and as such, any dilution is derived only for the time frame in which the vesting criteria had been met and where the inclusion of those stock options is dilutive. The Company had 250,449 and 286,635 unvested restricted shares and performance stock units issued as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which have performance, market and/or time-vesting criteria, and as such, any dilution is derived only for the time frame in which the vesting criteria had been met and where the inclusion of those restricted shares and units is dilutive.

Note 15 Derivatives

Risk management objective of using derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company has established policies stipulating that neither carrying value nor fair value at risk should exceed established guidelines. The Company has designed strategies to confine these risks within the established limits and identify appropriate trade-offs in the financial structure of its balance sheet. These strategies include the use of derivative financial instruments to help achieve the desired balance sheet repricing structure while meeting the desired objectives of its clients. Currently, the Company employs certain interest rate swaps that are designated as fair value hedges as well as economic hedges. The Company manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

Fair values of derivative instruments on the balance sheet

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification in the consolidated statements of financial condition as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Information about the valuation methods used to measure fair value is provided in note 17.


		Asset derivatives fair value					Liability derivatives fair value
	Balance Sheet	March 31,		December 31,		Balance Sheet	March 31,		December 31,

Total derivatives not designated as hedging instruments		$	8,190	$	10,204		$	5,466	$	8,792

Fair value hedges

Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $341.3 million, which were designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $343.1 million that were designated as fair value hedges. These interest rate swaps were associated with $343.4 million and $345.2 million of the Company’s fixed-rate loans as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, before a loss of $4.2 million and a gain of $16.1 million from the fair value hedge adjustment in the carrying amount, included in loans receivable on the statements of financial condition as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same line item as the offsetting loss or gain on the related derivatives.

Non-designated hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and consist of interest rate swaps with commercial banking clients that facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the client swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had matched

Table of Contents

interest rate swap transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $366.1 million related to this program. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had matched interest rate swap transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $394.4 million.

As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate loans where the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the clients have locked into that interest rate. The Company then locks in the loan and interest rate with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs ("best efforts") or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding ("mandatory") delivery program with an investor. Fair value changes of certain loans under interest rate lock commitments are hedged with forward sales contracts of MBS. Forward sales contracts of MBS are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in non-interest income. Interest rate lock commitments and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered derivatives. The market value of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because they are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Company determines the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and delivery contracts by measuring the fair value of the underlying assets. The fair value of the underlying assets is impacted by current interest rates, remaining origination fees, costs of production to be incurred and the probability that the interest rate lock commitments will close or will be funded.

Certain additional risks arise from these forward delivery contracts in that the counterparties to the contracts may not be able to meet the terms of the contracts. The Company does not expect any counterparty to any MBS contract to fail to meet its obligation. Additional risks inherent in mandatory delivery programs include the risk that, if the Company fails to deliver the loans subject to interest rate risk lock commitments, it will still be obligated to “pair off” MBS to the counterparty. Should this be required, the Company could incur significant costs in acquiring replacement loans and such costs could have an adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of the mortgage banking derivative is recorded as a freestanding asset or liability with the change in value being recognized in current earnings during the period of change.

The Company had interest rate lock commitments with a notional value of $135.8 million and forward contracts with a notional value of $170.8 million at March 31, 2022. At December 31, 2021, the Company had interest rate lock commitments with a notional value of $110.0 million and forward contracts with a notional value of $198.3 million.

Credit-risk-related contingent features

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness for reasons other than an error or omission of an administrative or operational nature, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

Table of Contents

The Company also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty has the right to terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

As of March 31, 2022, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position related to these agreements was $6.7 million, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties, and as of March 31, 2022, the Company had posted $0.1 million in eligible collateral. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2022, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

Note 16 Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various off-balance sheet commitments to help meet the financing needs of clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial and consumer lines of credit and standby letters of credit. The same credit policies are applied to these commitments as the loans in the consolidated statements of financial condition; however, these commitments involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The total amounts of unused commitments do not necessarily represent future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon. However, the contractual amount of these commitments, offset by any additional collateral pledged, represents the Company’s potential credit loss exposure.

Total unfunded commitments at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Commitments to fund loans	$	512,104	$	462,151
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit		562,393		530,397
Commercial and standby letters of credit		7,622		7,321
Total unfunded commitments	$	1,082,119	$	999,869

Commitments to fund loans—Commitments to fund loans are legally binding agreements to lend to clients in accordance with predetermined contractual provisions providing there have been no violations of any conditions specified in the contract. These commitments are generally at variable interest rates and are for specific periods or contain termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The total amounts of unused commitments are not necessarily representative of future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit—In the ordinary course of business, the Company extends revolving credit to its clients. These arrangements may require the payment of a fee.

Commercial and standby letters of credit—As a provider of financial services, the Company routinely issues commercial and standby letters of credit, which may be financial standby letters of credit or performance standby letters of credit. These are various forms of “back-up” commitments to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. While these arrangements represent a potential cash outlay for the Company, the majority of these letters of credit will expire without being drawn upon. Letters of credit are subject to the same underwriting and credit approval process as traditional loans, and as such, many of them have various forms of collateral securing the commitment, which may include real estate, personal property, receivables or marketable securities.

Contingencies

Mortgage loans sold to investors may be subject to repurchase or indemnification in the event of specific default by the borrower or subsequent discovery that underwriting standards were not met. The Company established a reserve liability for expected losses related to these representations and warranties based upon management’s evaluation of actual and historic loss history, delinquency trends in the portfolio and economic conditions. Charges against the reserve during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 totaling $45 thousand and $126 thousand, respectively, were primarily driven by early payoffs. The repurchase reserve is included in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and the Bank may be subject to litigation. Based upon the available information and advice from the Company’s legal counsel, management does not believe that any potential, threatened or pending litigation to which it is a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Note 17 Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For disclosure purposes, the Company groups its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities into three different levels based on the nature of the instrument and the availability and reliability of the information that is used to determine fair value. The three levels are defined as follows:

●

Level 1—Includes assets or liabilities in which the valuation methodologies are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●

Level 2—Includes assets or liabilities in which the inputs to the valuation methodologies are based on similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, and other inputs obtained from observable market input.

●

Level 3—Includes assets or liabilities in which the inputs to the valuation methodology are based on at least one significant assumption that is not observable in the marketplace. These valuations may rely on management’s judgment and may include internally-developed model-based valuation techniques.

Level 1 inputs are considered to be the most transparent and reliable and level 3 inputs are considered to be the least transparent and reliable. The Company assumes the use of the principal market to conduct a transaction of each particular asset or liability being measured and then considers the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Whenever possible, the Company first looks for quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (level 1 inputs) to value each asset or liability. However, when inputs from identical assets or liabilities on active markets are not available, the Company utilizes market observable data for similar assets and liabilities. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and limits the use of unobservable inputs to occasions when observable inputs are not available. The need to use unobservable inputs generally results from the lack of market liquidity of the actual financial instrument or of the underlying collateral. While third party price indications may be available in those cases, limited trading activity can challenge the observability of those inputs.

Changes in the valuation inputs used for measuring the fair value of financial instruments may occur due to changes in current market conditions or other factors. Such changes may necessitate a transfer of the financial instruments to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfer occurs. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no transfers of financial instruments between the hierarchy levels.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of each instrument under the valuation hierarchy:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis

Investment securities available-for-sale—Investment securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. To the extent possible, observable quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value and, as such, these securities are classified as level 1. When quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, discounted cash flows or other pricing characteristics are used to estimate fair values and the securities are then classified as level 2.

Table of Contents

Loans held for sale—The Company has elected to record loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market at estimated fair value. The portfolio consists primarily of fixed rate residential mortgage loans that are sold within 45 days. The Company estimates fair value based on quoted market prices for similar loans in the secondary market and are classified as level 2.

Interest rate swap derivatives—The Company's derivative instruments are limited to interest rate swaps that may be accounted for as fair value hedges or non-designated hedges. The fair values of the swaps incorporate credit valuation adjustments in order to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. The credit valuation adjustment is the dollar amount of the fair value adjustment related to credit risk and utilizes a probability weighted calculation to quantify the potential loss over the life of the trade. The credit valuation adjustments are calculated by determining the total expected exposure of the derivatives (which incorporates both the current and potential future exposure) and then applying the respective counterparties’ credit spreads to the exposure offset by marketable collateral posted, if any. Certain derivative transactions are executed with counterparties who are large financial institutions ("dealers"). International Swaps and Derivative Association Master Agreements ("ISDA") and Credit Support Annexes ("CSA") are employed for all contracts with dealers. These contracts contain bilateral collateral arrangements. The fair value inputs of these financial instruments are determined using discounted cash flow analysis through the use of third-party models whose significant inputs are readily observable market parameters, primarily yield curves, with appropriate adjustments for liquidity and credit risk, and are classified as level 2.

Mortgage banking derivatives—The Company relies on a third-party pricing service to value its mortgage banking derivative financial assets and liabilities, which the Company classifies as a level 3 valuation. The external valuation model to estimate the fair value of its interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale includes grouping the interest rate lock commitments by interest rate and terms, applying an average 86.2% estimated pull-through rate based on historical experience, and then multiplying by quoted investor prices determined to be reasonably applicable to the loan commitment groups based on interest rate, terms, and rate lock expiration dates of the loan commitment groups. The Company also relies on an external valuation model to estimate the fair value of its forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans (i.e., an estimate of what the Company would receive or pay to terminate the forward delivery contract based on market prices for similar financial instruments), which includes matching specific terms and maturities of the forward commitments against applicable investor pricing.

The tables below present the financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 in the consolidated statements of financial condition utilizing the hierarchy structure described above:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured on a Non-recurring Basis

Certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as conditions warrant. These non-recurring fair value measurements typically result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or a write-down occurring during the period.

Individually evaluated loans—The Company records individually evaluated loans based on the fair value of the collateral when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all contractual amounts due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. The Company relies on third-party appraisals and internal assessments, utilizing a discount rate in the range of 6% - 15% with a weighted average discount rate of 8.1%, in determining the estimated fair values of these loans. The inputs used to determine the fair values of loans are considered level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a specific reserve of $1.5 million related to seven loans with a carrying balance of $5.4 million. At March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a specific reserve of $1.8 million related to six loans with a carrying balance of $7.2 million.

OREO—OREO is recorded at the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs using a range of 6% to 10% with a weighted average discount rate of 7.2%. The estimated fair values of OREO are updated periodically and further write-downs may be taken to reflect a new basis. The Company recognized $188 thousand of OREO impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2022. There was no OREO impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The fair values of OREO are derived from third party price opinions or appraisals that generally use an income approach or a market value approach. If reasonable comparable appraisals are not available, the Company may use internally developed models to determine fair values. The inputs used to determine the fair value of OREO properties are considered level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

Premises and equipment—During the first quarter of 2021, the Company approved plans to consolidate seven banking centers. Premises and equipment held-for-sale are written down to estimated fair value less costs to sell in the period in which the held-for-sale criteria are met. Fair value is estimated in a process that considers current local commercial real estate market conditions, the judgment of the sales agent and often involves obtaining third-party appraisals from certified real estate appraisers. These fair value measurements are classified as level 3. Unobservable inputs to these measurements, which include estimates and judgments often used

in conjunction with appraisals, are not readily quantifiable. As of March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $1.3 million of impairment in its unaudited consolidated statements of operations related to premises and equipment classified as held-for-sale totaling $5.6 million.

Mortgage servicing rights—MSRs represent the value associated with servicing residential real estate loans that have been sold to outside investors with servicing retained. The fair value for servicing assets is determined through discounted cash flow analysis and utilizes discount rates ranging from 9.5% to 10.0% with a weighted average rate of 9.5% at March 31, 2022 and prepayment speed assumption ranges of 7.7% to 13.0% with a weighted average rate of 7.9% at March 31, 2022 as inputs. The weighted average MSRs are subject to impairment testing. The carrying values of these MSRs are reviewed quarterly for impairment based upon the calculation of fair value. For purposes of measuring impairment, the MSRs are stratified into certain risk characteristics including note type and note term. If the valuation model reflects a value less than the carrying value, MSRs are adjusted to fair value through a valuation allowance included in mortgage banking income in the consolidated statements of operations. There was no MSR impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021. The inputs used to determine the fair values of MSRs are considered level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company may be required to record fair value adjustments on other available-for-sale and municipal securities valued at par on a non-recurring basis.

The tables below provide information regarding losses from assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	March 31, 2022
	Total		Losses from fair value changes
Individually evaluated loans	$	14,104	$	634

Individually evaluated loans	$	24,636	$	302
Premises and equipment		5,569		1,259
Total	$	30,205	$	1,561

The Company did not record any liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Note 18 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is determined based upon quoted market prices to the extent possible; however, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques that may be significantly impacted by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Changes in any of these assumptions could significantly affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of the financial instruments listed below does not reflect a premium or discount that could result from offering all of the Company’s holdings of financial instruments at one time, nor does it reflect the underlying value of the Company, as ASC Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies and are based on the exit price concept within ASC Topic 825 and applied to this disclosure on a prospective basis. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Table of Contents

Loan portfolio


●		Total loans ended the quarter at $4.7 billion increasing $174.9 million, or 15.8% annualized, since December 31, 2021, excluding Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans of $7.6 million and $21.7 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
●		Generated record first quarter loan fundings totaling $419.7 million, led by commercial loan fundings of $305.3 million at March 31, 2022.

Credit quality


●		Allowance for credit losses totaled 1.04% of total loans at March 31, 2022, compared to 1.10% at December 31, 2021.

Non-performing assets to total loans and OREO improved to 0.35% at March 31, 2022, compared to 0.39% at December 31, 2021.

Client deposit funded balance sheet


●		Average transaction deposits for the first quarter of 2022 increased 11.6% to $5.4 billion, compared to $4.8 billion for the same period in the prior year.
●		Average total deposits for the first quarter of 2022 increased 7.2% to $6.2 billion, compared to the first quarter of 2021.

●		The FTE net interest margin narrowed 12 basis points to 2.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year due to lower earning asset yields which were partially offset by a decrease in the cost of funds. The yield on earning assets decreased 20 basis points driven by lower PPP loan activity. The cost of funds decreased nine basis points to 0.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year.
●		Non-interest income totaled $19.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $33.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, driven by lower mortgage banking income due to lower refinance activity in 2022 and competition driving tighter gain on sale margins.
●		Service charges and bank card fees increased a combined $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Expenses


●		Non-interest expense totaled $44.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $5.6 million, or 11.2%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to lower salaries and benefits from lower mortgage banking-related compensation.
●		Income tax expense totaled $3.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $5.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 driven by lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the first quarter 2022 was 16.4%, compared to 18.6% for the full year 2021.

Strong capital position


●		Capital ratios continue to be strong and in excess of federal bank regulatory agency “well capitalized” thresholds. As of March 31, 2022, our consolidated tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.48% and our common equity tier 1 and consolidated tier 1 risk based capital ratios were 13.94%.

Table of Contents

●

At March 31, 2022, common book value per share was $27.33. The tangible common book value per share decreased $0.69 during the first quarter to $23.64 at March 31, 2022, primarily due to first quarter earnings, net of dividends paid, being outpaced by the increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, the tangible book value per share increased $0.37 to $24.93 at March 31, 2022.

Key Challenges

There are a number of significant challenges confronting us and our industry. We face continual challenges implementing our business strategy. These include growing our assets, particularly loans, and deposits amidst intense competition, changing interest rates, adhering to changes in the regulatory environment and identifying and consummating disciplined acquisition and other expansionary opportunities in a very competitive environment.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption to the U.S. labor market, supply chain, consumer spending and business operations. The prolonged economic impacts from the pandemic, including inflationary pressures, are likely to continue to present challenges to our business and to our clients.

We are focused on growing our loan portfolio while adhering to our established underwriting standards and self-imposed concentration limits. A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real estate and any deterioration in real estate values or credit quality or elevated levels of non-performing assets would ultimately have a negative impact on the quality of our loan portfolio.

The agriculture industry continues to be impacted by elevated and volatile commodity prices and intermittent disruptions in supply chains. Our food and agribusiness portfolio is only 4.5% of total loans and is well-diversified across food production, crop and livestock types. Crop and livestock loans represent 0.7% of total loans. We have maintained relationships with food and agribusiness clients that generally possess low leverage and, correspondingly, low bank debt to assets, minimizing any potential credit losses in the future.

Future growth in our interest income will ultimately be dependent on our ability to originate high-quality loans and other high-quality earning assets such as investment securities. Cash balances total $0.8 billion as of March 31, 2022 and have decreased $59.3 million from December 31, 2021 and $36.1 million from March 31, 2021. Investment securities totaled $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2022 and increased $56.6 million, or 4.3%, compared to December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, our loans outstanding totaled $4.7 billion, increasing $160.9 million, or 3.6%, compared to December 31, 2021. During 2022, our weighted average rate on new loans funded at the time of origination was 4.01%, which was consistent with the weighted average yield of our originated loans. Throughout 2020 and 2021, our net interest income has been impacted by lower average loan balances and interest rate actions taken by the Federal Reserve in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our future earnings will be impacted by the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate policy decisions.

Continued regulation, impending new liquidity and capital constraints, and a continual need to bolster cybersecurity are adding costs and uncertainty to all U.S. banks and could affect profitability. Also, nontraditional participants in the market may offer increased competition as non-bank payment businesses, including fintechs, are expanding into traditional banking products. While certain external factors are out of our control and may provide obstacles to our business strategy, we are prepared to deal with these challenges and expand our offerings in digital technology, including by partnering with and investing in fintechs where appropriate. We seek to remain flexible, yet methodical and proactive, in our strategic decision making so that we can quickly respond to market changes and the inherent challenges and opportunities that accompany such changes.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “tangible assets,” “return on average tangible assets,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common book value,” “tangible common book value per share,” “tangible common equity,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” and “fully taxable equivalent” metrics, are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on an FTE basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.

A reconciliation of our GAAP financial measures to the comparable non-GAAP financial measures is as follows:

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

We use accounting principles and methods that conform to GAAP and general banking practices. We are required to apply significant judgment and make material estimates in the preparation of our financial statements and with regard to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Assumptions and estimates are required to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. The most significant of these estimates relate to the determination of the ACL. See additional discussion of our ACL policy in note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our audited consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Future Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 was effective upon issuance and can be adopted during any interim period through December 31, 2022. It provides optional expedients and guidance for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, if certain criteria are met, that reference LIBOR or any other reference rate that is expected to be discontinued. To address reference rate reform, the Company established a LIBOR transition subcommittee in January of 2020 to identify exposure to reference rates within loan and derivative contracts. The Company had no exposure to LIBOR tenors that were discontinued as of January 1, 2022. For tenors expiring on future dates the Company is working to ensure all documentation includes contingency terms, if necessary, that may be utilized at such time when the LIBOR is discontinued. Beginning January 1, 2022, the Company no longer originates loans using LIBOR as a reference rate. The Company has assessed, and will continue to evaluate, the impact from ASU 2020-04 and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-04, or any updates issued to date, to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Financial Condition

Total assets were $7.3 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $7.2 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $127.5 million, or 1.8%. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $59.3 million, or 7.0%, from December 31, 2021, and investment securities increased $56.6 million, or 4.3%. Total loans increased $160.9 million, or 3.6%, and the allowance for credit losses decreased $0.9 million to $48.8 million at March 31, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2022, lower cost demand, savings, and money market deposits ("transaction deposits") increased $167.8 million, or 12.6% annualized, compared to December 31, 2021, as we continued developing full banking relationships with our clients. In addition to providing excess cash liquidity, the increase in transaction deposits provided low-cost funding utilized to fund loan growth.

Investment securities

Available-for-sale

Total investment securities available-for-sale increased 14.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $0.8 billion. Purchases of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled $179.4 million and $86.2 million, respectively. Paydowns and maturities totaled $39.1 million and $68.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Table of Contents

Our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio is summarized in the following table as of the dates indicated. The weighted average yield was calculated based on amortized cost. Yields on tax exempt securities have not been adjusted for tax exempt status.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, nearly all the available-for-sale investment portfolio was backed by mortgages. The residential mortgage pass-through securities portfolio is comprised of both fixed rate and adjustable rate FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities. The other mortgage-backed securities are comprised of securities backed by FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities.

Mortgage-backed securities may have actual maturities that differ from contractual maturities depending on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying financial instruments. The estimated weighted average life of the available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities portfolio was 5.2 years and 4.2 years at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. This estimate is based on assumptions and actual results may differ. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the duration of the total available-for-sale investment portfolio was 4.5 years and 3.8 years, respectively.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, adjustable rate securities comprised 7.7% and 1.7%, respectively, of the available-for-sale MBS portfolio. The remainder of the portfolio was comprised of fixed rate amortizing securities with 10 to 30 year contractual maturities, with a weighted average coupon of 1.73% per annum and 1.70% per annum at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The available-for-sale investment portfolio included $0.5 million of unrealized gains and $51.8 million of unrealized losses at March 31, 2022. At December 31, 2021, the available-for-sale investment portfolio included $3.4 million of unrealized gains and $13.3 million of unrealized losses. We believe any unrealized losses are a result of prevailing interest rates, and as such, we do not believe that any of the securities with unrealized losses were impaired. Management believes that default of the available-for-sale securities is highly unlikely. FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities have a long history of zero credit losses, an explicit guarantee by the U.S. government (although limited for FNMA and FHLMC securities) and yields that generally trade based on market views of prepayment and liquidity risk rather than credit risk.

Held-to-maturity

Held-to-maturity investment securities decreased 6.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $0.6 billion. There were no purchases of held-to-maturity investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $174.1 million. Paydowns and maturities totaled $41.4 million and $29.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Total investment securities held-to-maturity	$	567,055	$	523,702	100.0%	1.48%	$	609,012	$	599,260	100.0%	1.41%

The residential mortgage pass-through and other residential MBS held-to-maturity investment portfolios are comprised of fixed rate FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA securities.

The fair value of the held-to-maturity investment portfolio included $0.2 million of unrealized gains and $43.6 million of unrealized losses at March 31, 2022. At December 31, 2021, the held-to-maturity investment portfolio included $2.2 million of unrealized gains and $11.9 million of unrealized losses.

The Company does not measure expected credit losses on a financial asset, or group of financial assets, in which historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts results in an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero. Management evaluated held-to-maturity securities noting they are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored entities, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given this governmental backing and long history without credit losses. Additionally, management notes that yields on which the portfolio generally trades are based upon market views of prepayment and liquidity risk and not credit risk. The Company has no intention to sell the securities and believes it will not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost.

Mortgage-backed securities may have actual maturities that differ from contractual maturities depending on the repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying financial instruments. The estimated weighted average expected life of the held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities portfolio as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 6.0 years and 4.1 years, respectively. This estimate is based on assumptions and actual results may differ. The duration of the total held-to-maturity investment portfolio was 5.1 years and 3.8 years as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Non-marketable securities

Non-marketable securities totaled $54.6 million and $50.7 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and included FRB stock, FHLB stock and other non-marketable securities. At March 31, 2022, other non-marketable securities totaled $40.0 million and consisted of equity method investments totaling $18.0 million and convertible preferred stock without a readily determinable fair value totaling $22.0 million. At December 31, 2021, other non-marketable securities totaled $36.2 million and consisted of equity method investments totaling $14.2 million and convertible preferred stock without a readily determinable fair value totaling $22.0 million. During 2021, the Company invested in two fintech firms, Finstro Global Holdings, Inc. and Figure Technologies. The Company will continue to invest with fintech solution providers to support our ecosystem buildout, support our core bank products and offerings, and to leverage efficiencies and technological solutions in our shared services areas. Purchases of non-marketable securities totaled $4.0 million and $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

At March 31, 2022, the Company held $13.9 million of FRB stock and $0.7 million of FHLB stock for regulatory or debt facility purposes, consistent with December 31, 2021. These are restricted securities which, lacking a market, are carried at cost. The Company is not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that may have an adverse effect on the investments carried at cost.

Loans overview

At March 31, 2022, our loan portfolio was comprised of new loans that we have originated and loans that were acquired in connection with our six acquisitions to date.

The Company maintains a granular and well-diversified loan portfolio with self-imposed concentration limits. The loan portfolio increased $174.9 million, or 15.8% annualized, from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022, excluding PPP loans of $7.6 million and $21.7 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase was led by commercial loan growth, excluding PPP loans, of $152.9 million, or 19.7% annualized. First quarter loan fundings totaled $419.7 million, led by commercial loan fundings of $305.3 million.

Our commercial and industrial loan portfolio is comprised of diverse industry segments. At March 31, 2022, these segments included finance and financial services, primarily lender finance loans of $164.9 million, hospital/medical loans of $328.5 million, manufacturing-related loans of $136.1 million, and a variety of smaller subcategories of commercial and industrial loans. Food and agribusiness loans, which are well-diversified across food production, crop and livestock types, totaled $208.9 million and were 25.2% of the Company’s risk based capital. Crop and livestock loans represent 0.7% of total loans.

Non-owner occupied CRE loans were 82.3% of the Company’s risk based capital, or 14.6% of total loans, and no specific property type comprised more than 5.0% of total loans. The Company maintains very little exposure to non-owner occupied CRE retail properties, comprising 1.4% of total loans. Multi-family loans totaled $103.4 million, or 2.2% of total loans as of March 31, 2022.

New loan origination is a direct result of our ability to recruit and retain top banking talent, connect with clients in our markets and provide needed services at competitive rates. Loan fundings totaled $1.7 billion over the past 12 months, led by commercial loan fundings of $1.2 billion. Fundings are defined as closed-end funded loans and revolving lines of credit advances, net of any current period paydowns. Management utilizes this more conservative definition of fundings to better approximate the impact of fundings on loans outstanding and ultimately net interest income.

Asset quality

Asset quality is fundamental to our success and remains a strong point, driven by our disciplined adherence to our self-imposed concentration limits across industry sector and real estate property type. Accordingly, for the origination of loans, we have established a credit policy that allows for responsive, yet controlled lending with credit approval requirements that are scaled to loan size. Within the scope of the credit policy, each prospective loan is reviewed in order to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of the loan characteristics and the security or collateral prior to making a loan. We have established underwriting standards and loan origination procedures that require appropriate documentation, including financial data and credit reports. For loans secured by real property, we require property appraisals, title insurance or a title opinion, hazard insurance and flood insurance, in each case where appropriate.

Additionally, we have implemented procedures to timely identify loans that may become problematic in order to ensure the most beneficial resolution for the Company. Asset quality is monitored by our credit risk management department and evaluated based on quantitative and subjective factors such as the timeliness of contractual payments received. Additional factors that are considered, particularly with commercial loans over $500,000, include the financial condition and liquidity of individual borrowers and guarantors, if any, and the value of our collateral. To facilitate the oversight of asset quality, loans are categorized based on the number of days past due and on an internal risk rating system, and both are discussed in more detail below.

Table of Contents

In the event of borrower default, we may seek recovery in compliance with state lending laws, the respective loan agreements, and credit monitoring and remediation procedures that may include modifying or restructuring a loan from its original terms, for economic or legal reasons, to provide a concession to the borrower from their original terms due to borrower financial difficulties in order to facilitate repayment. Such restructured loans are considered TDRs in accordance with ASC 310-40. Assets that have been foreclosed on or acquired through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure are classified as OREO until sold, and are carried at the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, with any initial valuation adjustments charged to the ACL and any subsequent declines in carrying value charged to impairments on OREO.

Non-performing assets and past due loans

Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans and OREO. Interest income that would have been recorded had non-accrual loans performed in accordance with their original contract terms during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Past due status is monitored as an indicator of credit deterioration. Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. Loans that are 90 days or more past due are put on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.

The following table sets forth the non-performing assets and past due loans as of the dates presented:


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021

ACL to non-performing loans		440.01%		458.77%

During the first quarter of 2022, total non-performing loans increased $0.3 million, or 2.4%, from December 31, 2021. Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing interest were 0.07% and 0.04% of total loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest were 0.01% at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Allowance for credit losses

The ACL represents the amount that we believe is necessary to absorb estimated lifetime credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaced the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses with a CECL model. The Company utilizes a DCF model developed within a third-party software tool to establish expected lifetime credit losses for the loan portfolio. The ACL is calculated as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the projections from the DCF analysis. The DCF model allows for individual life of loan cash flow modeling, excluding extensions and renewals, using loan-specific interest rates and repayment schedules including estimated prepayment rates and loss recovery timing delays. The model incorporates forecasts of certain national macro-economic factors, including unemployment rates, home price index (“HPI”), retail sales and gross domestic product (“GDP”), which drive correlated loss rates. The determination and application of the

Table of Contents

ACL accounting policy involves judgments, estimates and uncertainties that are subject to change. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, we revert to historical long-term average loss rates on a straight-line basis.

We measure expected credit losses for loans on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. We have identified four primary loan segments within the ACL model that are further stratified into 11 loan classes to provide more granularity in analyzing loss history and to allow for more definitive qualitative adjustments based upon specific risk factors affecting each loan class. Generally, the underlying risk of loss for each of these loan segments will follow certain norms/trends in various economic environments. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are not included in the collective evaluation. Following are the loan classes within each of the four primary loan segments:


	Non-owner occupied
Commercial	commercial real estate	Residential real estate	Consumer
Commercial and industrial	Construction	Senior lien	Consumer
Owner occupied commercial real estate	Acquisition and development	Junior lien
Food and agribusiness	Multifamily
Municipal and non-profit	Non-owner occupied

Loans on non-accrual, in bankruptcy and TDRs with a balance greater than $250,000 are excluded from the pooled analysis and are evaluated individually. If management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are evaluated based on the criteria listed below, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. Typically, these loans consist of commercial, commercial real estate and agriculture loans and exclude homogeneous loans such as residential real estate and consumer loans. Specific allowances are determined by collectively analyzing:


●		the borrower’s resources, ability and willingness to repay in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement;
●		the likelihood of receiving financial support from any guarantors;
●		the adequacy and present value of future cash flows, less disposal costs, of any collateral; and
●		the impact current economic conditions may have on the borrower’s financial condition and liquidity or the value of the collateral.

The collective resulting ACL for loans is calculated as the sum of the general reserves, specific reserves on individually evaluated loans, and qualitative factor adjustments. While these amounts are calculated by individual loan or on a pool basis by segment and class, the entire ACL is available for any loan that, in our judgment, should be charged-off. The determination and application of the ACL accounting policy involves judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are subject to change. Changes in these assumptions, estimates or the conditions surrounding them may have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Net charge-offs on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $0.6 million, and the ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans totaled 0.05%. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an allowance for loan losses provision release of $0.3 million driven by strong asset quality. Specific reserves on loans totaled $1.5 million at March 31, 2022.

Net charge-offs on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $0.1 million, and the ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans totaled 0.01%. The Company recorded an allowance for loan losses provision release of $3.6 million, which included a provision release of $4.6 million for funded loans and a provision expense of $1.0 million for unfunded loan commitments during the first quarter of 2021. Provision release was driven by strong asset quality and an improved outlook in the CECL model’s underlying economic forecast. Specific reserves on loans totaled $1.8 million at March 31, 2021.

The Company has elected to exclude AIR from the ACL calculation. When a loan is placed on non-accrual, any recorded AIR is reversed against interest income. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, AIR from loans totaled $19.0 million and $15.7 million, respectively.

Total ACL

After considering the above mentioned factors, we believe that the ACL of $48.8 million is adequate to cover estimated lifetime losses inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2022. However, it is likely that future adjustments to the ACL will be necessary. Any changes to the underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates, including but not limited to changes in the underlying macro-economic forecast, used in determining the ACL, could negatively or positively affect the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Of the time deposits scheduled to mature within 12 months at March 31, 2022, $70.9 million were in denominations of $250,000 or more, and $472.7 million were in denominations less than $250,000.

Long-term debt

The note is subordinated, unsecured and matures on November 15, 2031. Payments consist of interest only. Interest expense on the note is payable semi-annually in arrears and will bear interest at 3.00% per annum until November 15, 2026 (or any earlier redemption date). From November 15, 2026 until November 15, 2031 (or any earlier redemption date) payments will be made quarterly in arrears, and the interest rate shall reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month term SOFR plus 203 basis points. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the note for general corporate purposes. Prior to November 5, 2026, the Company may redeem the note only under certain limited circumstances. Beginning on November 5, 2026 through maturity, the note may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, on any scheduled interest payment date. Any redemption by the Company would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the note being redeemed, together with any accrued and unpaid interest on the note being redeemed up to but excluding the date of redemption. The note is not subject to redemption at the option of the holder.

Other borrowings

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank sold securities under agreements to repurchase totaling $24.7 million and $22.8 million, respectively. In addition, as a member of the FHLB, the Bank has access to a line of credit and term financing from the FHLB with total available credit of $0.9 billion at March 31, 2022. The Bank utilizes its FHLB line of credit as a funding mechanism for originated loans and loans held for sale. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank had no outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. The Bank may pledge investment securities and loans as collateral for FHLB advances. There were no investment securities pledged at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Loans pledged were $1.3 billion at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company incurred no interest expense related to FHLB advances or other short-term borrowing for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Results of Operations

Our net income depends largely on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from interest earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. Our results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses and non-interest income, such as service charges, bank card income, swap fee income, and gain on sale of mortgages. Our primary operating expenses, aside from interest expense, consist of salaries and benefits, occupancy costs, telecommunications data processing expense and intangible asset amortization. Any expenses related to the resolution of problem assets are also included in non-interest expense.

Overview of results of operations

Net income totaled $18.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $26.8 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease between the periods is largely driven by lower mortgage banking income, due to lower refinance activity in 2022.

Net interest income

We regularly review net interest income metrics to provide us with indicators of how the various components of net interest income are performing. We regularly review: (i) our loan mix and the yield on loans; (ii) the investment portfolio and the related yields; (iii) our deposit mix and the cost of deposits; and (iv) net interest income simulations for various forecast periods.

Table of Contents

The table below presents the components of net interest income on a FTE basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The effects of trade-date accounting of investment securities for which the cash had not settled are not considered interest earning assets and are excluded from this presentation for time frames prior to their cash settlement, as are the market value adjustments on the investment securities available-for-sale and loans.

Net interest income totaled $46.7 million and $45.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net interest income on an FTE basis totaled $48.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $1.5 million, or 3.2%, compared to three months ended March 31, 2021. While the impact of the 25 basis point increase in the federal funds rate on March 16, 2022 had a nominal impact on the Company’s first quarter 2022 results, the Company’s net interest income in future periods will benefit from this rate increase. The yield on earning assets decreased 20 basis points, driven by lower PPP loan

forgiveness activity. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the cost of funds decreased nine basis points to a record low 0.19%, compared to the same period during 2021.

Average loans comprised $4.5 billion, or 67.3%, of total average interest earning assets during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $4.2 billion, or 68.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in average loan balances was driven by a $356.9 million increase in average originated loans.

Average investment securities comprised 20.0% and 17.8% of total interest earning assets during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the investment portfolio was driven by a strategic decision to deploy a portion of the excess cash liquidity into investment securities.

Average balances of interest bearing liabilities increased $185.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was driven by interest bearing demand, savings and money market deposits totaling $290.7 million, long-term debt totaling $39.5 million and securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaling $1.4 million. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in time deposits of $145.6 million.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses represents the amount of expense that is necessary to bring the ACL to a level that we deem appropriate to absorb estimated lifetime losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The determination of the ACL, and the resultant provision for loan losses, is subjective and involves significant estimates and assumptions.

The Company recorded an allowance for loan losses provision release of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, driven by strong asset quality. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded total provision release of $3.6 million, which included a provision release of $4.6 million for funded loans, driven by strong asset quality and an improved outlook in the CECL model’s underlying economic forecast, and a provision expense of $1.0 million for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for credit losses totaled 1.04% of total loans at March 31, 2022, compared to the allowance for credit losses of 1.28% at March 31, 2021.

Non-interest income

The table below details the components of non-interest income for the periods presented:


	For the three months ended March 31,				2022 vs 2021
					Increase (decrease)
	2022		2021		Amount		% Change
Service charges	$	3,710	$	3,474	$	236	6.8 %
Bank card fees		4,123		4,073		50	1.2 %
Mortgage banking income		9,666		22,379		(12,713)	(56.8)%
Bank-owned life insurance income		532		548		(16)	(2.9)%
Other non-interest income		1,023		2,852		(1,829)	(64.1)%
OREO-related income		—		35		(35)	(100.0)%
Total non-interest income	$	19,054	$	33,361	$	(14,307)	(42.9)%

During the first quarter of 2022, non-interest income decreased $14.3 million, or 42.9%, compared to the first quarter of last year. The decrease was primarily driven by $12.7 million lower mortgage banking income due to lower refinance activity in 2022 and competition driving tighter gain on sale margins. Other non-interest income decreased $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to $0.8 million lower banking center consolidation-related income and $0.5 million lower unrealized gains on equity method investments. Service charges and bank card fees increased a combined $0.3 million compared to the first quarter 2021.

Total non-interest expense	$	44,082	$	49,668	$	(5,586)	(11.2)%

During the first quarter of 2022, non-interest expense decreased $5.6 million, or 11.2%, compared to the first quarter of last year. The decrease was largely due to $4.2 million lower salaries and benefits, which primarily included lower mortgage banking-related compensation. Occupancy and equipment decreased $0.2 million due to efficiencies gained from banking center consolidations in prior years. Problem asset workout expense decreased $0.3 million, and gain on sale of OREO increased $0.2 million. Included in the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1.3 million of banking center consolidation-related expense.

Income taxes

Income tax expense was $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to an income tax expense of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 16.4%, compared to 18.6% for the full year 2021. The effective tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to interest income from tax-exempt lending, bank-owned life insurance income, and the relationship of these items to pre-tax income.

Additional information regarding income taxes can be found in note 19 of our audited consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity is monitored and managed to ensure that sufficient funds are available to operate our business and pay our obligations to depositors and other creditors, while providing ample available funds for opportunistic and strategic investments. Management believes that the Company's excess cash, borrowing capacity and access to sufficient sources of capital are adequate to meet its short-term and long-term liquidity needs in the foreseeable future. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, prepayments and maturities of loans and investment securities, the sale of investment securities, and funds provided from operations. We anticipate having access to other third party funding sources, including the ability to raise funds through the issuance of shares of our common stock or other equity or equity-related securities, incurrence of debt, and federal funds purchased, that may also be a source of liquidity. We anticipate that these sources of liquidity will provide adequate funding and

Table of Contents

liquidity for at least a 12-month period, and we may utilize any combination of these funding sources for long-term liquidity needs if deemed prudent.

On-balance sheet liquidity is represented by our cash and cash equivalents, and unencumbered investment securities, and is detailed in the table below as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Cash and due from banks	$	785,885	$	845,195
Interest bearing bank deposits		500		500
Unencumbered investment securities, at fair value		772,631		781,166
Total	$	1,559,016	$	1,626,861

Total on-balance sheet liquidity decreased $67.8 million at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, due to lower cash and due from banks of $59.3 million and lower unencumbered investment securities of $8.5 million.

At present, financing activities primarily consist of changes in deposits and repurchase agreements, and advances from the FHLB, in addition to the payment of dividends and the repurchase of our common stock. Maturing time deposits represent a potential use of funds. As of March 31, 2022, $543.6 million of time deposits were scheduled to mature within 12 months. Based on the current interest rate environment, market conditions, and our consumer banking strategy focusing on both lower cost transaction accounts and term deposits, our strategy is to replace a portion of those maturing time deposits with transaction deposits and market-rate time deposits. During 2021, the Company entered into a subordinated note purchase agreement maturing on November 15, 2031. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the note for general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2022, the balance on the note, net of issuance costs totaling $0.5 million, totaled $39.5 million.

Through our relationship with the FHLB, the Bank may pledge qualifying loans and investment securities allowing us to obtain additional liquidity through FHLB advances and lines of credit. There were no investment securities pledged at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. The Bank had loans pledged as collateral for FHLB advances of $1.3 billion at March 31, 2022 and $1.3 billion at December 31, 2021. FHLB advances, lines of credit and other short-term borrowing availability totaled $0.9 billion at March 31, 2022. The Bank can obtain additional liquidity through the FHLB facility, if required, and also has access to federal funds lines of credit with correspondent banks.

Our primary uses of funds are loan fundings, investment security purchases, withdrawals of deposits, settlement of repurchase agreements, capital expenditures, operating expenses, and share repurchases. For additional information regarding our operating, investing and financing cash flows, see our consolidated statements of cash flows in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Exclusive from the investing activities related to acquisitions, our primary investing activities are fundings and pay-offs and paydowns of loans and purchases and sales of investment securities. At March 31, 2022, pledgeable investment securities represented a significant source of liquidity. Our available-for-sale investment securities are carried at fair value and our held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Our collective investment securities portfolio totaled $1.4 billion at March 31, 2022, inclusive of pre-tax net unrealized losses of $51.3 million on the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Additionally, our held-to-maturity securities portfolio had $42.7 million of pre-tax net unrealized losses at March 31, 2022. The gross unrealized gains and losses are detailed in note 3 of our consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2022, our investment securities portfolio consisted primarily of MBS, all of which were issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or sponsored enterprises. The anticipated repayments and marketability of these securities offer substantial resources and flexibility to meet new loan demand, reinvest in the investment securities portfolio, or provide optionality for reductions in our deposit funding base.

Capital

Under the Basel III requirements, at March 31, 2022, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements, and the Bank had regulatory capital ratios in excess of the levels established for well-capitalized institutions. For more information on regulatory capital, see note 10 in our consolidated financial statements.

Our shareholders' equity is impacted by earnings, changes in unrealized gains and losses on securities, net of tax, stock-based compensation activity, share repurchases and the payment of dividends.

Table of Contents

The Board of Directors has from time to time authorized multiple programs to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock either in open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable regulations of the SEC. On February 24, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $75.0 million of the Company’s stock. The remaining authorization under the program as of March 31, 2022 was $38.6 million.

On May 3, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per common share, payable on June 15, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 27, 2022.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for managing interest rate risk and employing risk management policies that monitor and limit this exposure. Interest rate risk is measured using net interest income simulations and market value of portfolio equity analyses. These analyses use various assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate changes, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

The principal objective of the Company's asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk within the balance sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while maximizing earnings and preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital. The asset and liability management function is under the guidance of the Asset Liability Committee with direction from the Board of Directors. The Asset Liability Committee meets monthly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of the Company's assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, local and national market conditions and rates. The Asset Liability Committee also reviews the liquidity, capital, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions of the Company.

Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in net interest margin. These scenarios, known as rate shocks, simulate an instantaneous change in interest rates and utilize various assumptions, including, but not limited to, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows.

We also analyze the economic value of equity as a secondary 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 our future earnings and is used in conjunction with the analyses on net interest income.

Our interest rate risk model indicated that the Company was asset sensitive in terms of interest rate sensitivity at March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, our asset sensitivity decreased slightly for a rising rate environment as a result of the balance sheet mix. The table below illustrates the impact of an immediate and sustained 200 and 100 basis point increase and a 25 basis point decrease in interest rates on net interest income based on the interest rate risk model at March 31, 2022 at the respective dates:


Hypothetical
shift in interest	% change in projected net interest income
rates (in bps)	March 31, 2022	December 31, 2021
200	11.09%	11.12%
100	5.30%	5.37%
(25)	(1.87)%	(0.67)%

Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than our projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates and actual results may also differ due to any actions taken in response to the changing rates.

As part of the asset/liability management strategy to manage primary market risk exposures expected to be in effect in future reporting periods, management has emphasized the origination of longer duration loans. The strategy with respect to liabilities has been to continue to emphasize transaction deposit growth, particularly non-interest or low interest bearing non-maturing deposit accounts

Table of Contents

while building long-term client relationships. Non-maturing deposit accounts totaled 87.4% of total deposits at March 31, 2022, compared to 86.5% at December 31, 2021. We currently have no brokered time deposits.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increasing operating costs and non-interest expense. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than do changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. Interest rate changes do not necessarily move in the same direction, nor have the same magnitude, as changes in the prices of goods and services. Although not as critical to the banking industry as many other industries, inflationary factors may have some impact on our ability to grow, total assets, earnings and capital levels. While we plan to continue our disciplined approach to expense management, an inflationary environment may cause wage pressures and general increases in our cost of doing business, which may increase our non-interest expense.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

In the normal course of business, we are a party to various contractual obligations, commitments and other off-balance sheet activities that contain credit, market, and operational risk that are not required to be reflected in our consolidated financial statements. The most significant of these are the loan commitments that we enter into to meet the financing needs of clients, including commitments to extend credit, commercial and consumer lines of credit and standby letters of credit. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had loan commitments totaling $1.1 billion and $992.5 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit that totaled $7.6 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Unused commitments do not necessarily represent future credit exposure or cash requirements, as commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information called for by this item is provided under the caption Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk in Part I, Item 2-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of March 31, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there were no changes made in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows or capital levels.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 with the exception of the following:

With respect to the mergers between the Company and Bancshares of Jackson Hole Inc. and Community Bancorporation, regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected, or regulators may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or that could have an adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company is expected to incur significant costs related to the mergers and integration.

Before the mergers may be completed, various approvals, consents and non-objections must be obtained from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the relevant state regulators. These approvals could be delayed or not obtained at all, including due to any or all of the following: an adverse development in either party’s regulatory standing, or any other factors considered by regulators in granting such approvals; governmental, political or community group inquiries, investigations or opposition; or changes in legislation or the political environment, including as a result of changes in regulatory agency leadership. Despite the Company’s commitments to use their reasonable best efforts to resolve any objection that may be asserted by any governmental entity with respect to the merger agreement, under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company is not required to take any action or agree to any condition or restriction in connection with obtaining these approvals that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

Additionally, the Company is expected to incur substantial costs in connection with the mergers, including legal, financial advisory, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees, severance/employee benefit-related costs, and other regulatory fees and related costs. There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies, and systems that may need to be integrated, including purchasing, accounting and finance, payroll, compliance, treasury management, banking center operations, vendor management, risk management, lines of business, pricing, and benefits. While the Company has assumed that a certain level of costs will be incurred, there are many factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration costs. Moreover, many of the costs that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate accurately. These integration costs may result in the Company taking charges against earnings following the completion of the mergers, the amount, and timing of which are uncertain at present.
