The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Northwest, and Northwest’s subsidiaries Northwest Settlement Agency, LLC, Northwest Consumer Discount Company, Northwest Financial Services, Inc., Northwest Advisors, Inc., Northwest Capital Group, Inc., Allegheny Services, Inc., Great Northwest Corporation, Boetger & Associates, Inc. and The Bert Company. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information or footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations have been included. The consolidated statements have been prepared using the accounting policies described in the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 updated, as required, for any new pronouncements or changes.

The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017, or any other period.

Stock-Based Compensation

On May 17, 2017, the Company awarded employees 754,210 stock options and directors 64,800 stock options with an exercise price of $15.57 and grant date fair value of $1.55 per stock option, and the Company awarded employees 353,750 restricted common shares and directors 24,300 restricted common shares with a grant date fair value of $15.24. Awarded stock options and common shares vest over a ten-year period with the first vesting occurring on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and $2.6 million and $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, was recognized in compensation expense relating to stock benefit plans. At June 30, 2017 there was compensation expense of $4.7 million to be recognized for awarded but unvested stock options and $18.5 million for unvested common shares.

Income Taxes- Uncertain Tax Positions

Accounting standards prescribe a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. At June 30, 2017 the Company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to: (1) unrecognized tax benefits in other expenses and (2) refund claims in other operating income, and penalties (if any) in other expenses. We are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service and any state in which we conduct business for the tax periods ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

In May 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-9, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This guidance supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of this guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and provides five steps to be analyzed to accomplish the core principle. This guidance is effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years and early adoption is not permitted. We are continuing our overall assessment of revenue streams and reviewing contracts potentially affected by this guidance and other revenue streams associated with contracts with third parties to determine the potential impact to our results of operations, financial position, and disclosures.

Table of Contents

In January 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10)”. This guidance requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Additionally, this guidance requires entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, “Leases”. This guidance requires a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial condition a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the term of the lease. Optional periods should only be recognized if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the option. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, the lessee is permitted not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities and should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our results of operations and financial position.

In March 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal Versus Agent Considerations”. This guidance clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations of ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)". When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide the specified good or service itself (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for that good or service to be provided by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). When (or as) an entity that is a principal satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the specified good or service transferred to the customer. When (or as) an entity that is an agent satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified good or service to be provided by the other party. This guidance is effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our results of operations and financial position.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold for credit losses requiring, instead, that all financial assets (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected inclusive of the entity’s current estimate of all lifetime expected credit losses. This guidance also applies to certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments and non-derivative financial guarantees. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) in order to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The income statement under this guidance will reflect the initial recognition of current expected credit losses for newly recognized assets, as well as any increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have occurred during the period. This guidance retains many currently-existing disclosures related to the credit quality of an entity’s assets and the related allowance for credit losses amended to reflect the change to an expected credit loss methodology, as well as enhanced disclosures to provide information to users at a more disaggregated level. Upon adoption, ASU 2016-13 provides for a modified retrospective transition by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is effective, except for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment has previously been recognized. For these debt securities, a prospective transition is provided in order to maintain the same amortized cost prior to and subsequent to the effective date of the ASU. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our results of operations and financial position.

In January 2017 the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". This guidance eliminates the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure goodwill impairment. Under this guidance goodwill impairment testing will be performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our results of operations and financial position.

Table of Contents

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Costs and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Costs. This guidance provides financial statement users with clearer and disaggregated information related to the components of net periodic benefit cost and improve transparency of the presentation of net periodic benefit cost in the financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and this guidance should be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our results of operations and financial position.

In March 2017 the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, "Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities". This guidance shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date from the maturity date. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our results of operations and financial position.


(2)	Branch Sale

On May 19, 2017, Northwest Bank completed the sale of its three full-service offices in Maryland to Shore United Bank, a subsidiary of Shore Bancshares, Inc. The transaction included a deposit premium of 8.0% which resulted in a gain of $17.2 million.

The following table provides information related to assets and liabilities sold:



Cash from offices	$	1,104
Loans	124,832
Accrued interest	299
Fixed Assets	5,362

Total liabilities sold	211,724

Payment to Shore United	62,940
Gain on sale of offices	$	17,186


(3)	Business Segments

We previously operated in two reportable business segments: Community Banking and Consumer Finance. The Community Banking segment provides services traditionally offered by full-service community banks, including business and personal deposit accounts and business and personal loans, as well as insurance, brokerage and investment management and trust services. The Consumer Finance segment, which was comprised of Northwest Consumer Discount Company ("NCDC"), a subsidiary of Northwest offered personal installment loans for a variety of consumer and real estate products. This activity was funded primarily through an intercompany borrowing relationship with Allegheny Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Northwest. As previously announced, all NCDC offices were closed on July 14, 2017; this closure eliminates our consumer finance segment. Net income is the primary measure used by management to measure segment performance. The following tables provide financial information for these reportable segments. The “All Other” column represents the parent company and elimination entries necessary to reconcile to the consolidated amounts presented in the financial statements.

We review our investment portfolio for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which amortized costs have exceeded fair values, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer, and the intent and ability to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in value. Certain investments are evaluated using our best estimate of future cash flows. If the estimate of cash flows indicates that an adverse change has occurred, other-than-temporary impairment is recognized for the amount of the unrealized loss that was deemed credit related.

Credit related impairment on all debt securities is recognized in earnings while noncredit related impairment on available-for-sale debt securities, not expected to be sold, is recognized in other comprehensive income.

At June 30, 2017, we expect to fully collect the carrying value of our purchased credit impaired loans and have determined that we can reasonably estimate their future cash flows including those loans that are 90 days or more delinquent. As a result, we do not consider our purchased credit impaired loans that are 90 days or more delinquent to be nonaccrual or impaired and continue to recognize interest income on these loans, including the loans’ accretable discount.

Table of Contents

Our loan portfolios include loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"), where concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include: extending the note’s maturity date, permitting interest only payments, reducing the interest rate to a rate lower than current market rates for new debt with similar risk, reducing the principal payment, principal forbearance or other actions. These concessions are applicable to all loan segments and classes. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and may be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a period of at least six months.

When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, the loan’s observable market price or the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, for collateral dependent loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. In periods subsequent to modification, we evaluate all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, for possible impairment, using ASC 310-10. As a result, loans modified in a TDR may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan.

Loans modified in a TDR are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future default. If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, we evaluate the loan for possible further impairment. The allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance, partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan, or the loan may be charged-off completely.

Credit quality indicators: We categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. We analyze loans individually by classifying the loans by credit risk. Credit relationships greater than or equal to $1.0 million classified as special mention or substandard are reviewed quarterly for deterioration or improvement to determine if the loan is appropriately classified. We use the following definitions for risk ratings other than pass:

Special mention — Loans designated as special mention have specific, well-defined risk issues, which create a high level of uncertainty regarding the long-term viability of the business. Loans in this class are considered to have high-risk characteristics. A special mention loan exhibits material negative financial trends due to company-specific or systemic conditions. If these potential weaknesses are not mitigated, they threaten the borrower’s capacity to meet its debt obligations. Special mention loans still demonstrate sufficient financial flexibility to react to and positively address the root cause of the adverse financial trends without significant deviations from their current business strategy. Their potential weaknesses deserve our close attention and warrant enhanced monitoring.

Substandard — Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that

Table of Contents

jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful — Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard. In addition, those weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. A loan classified as doubtful exhibits discernible loss potential, but a complete loss seems very unlikely. The possibility of a loss on a doubtful loan is high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may strengthen the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until a more exact status can be determined.

Loss — Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such value that the continuance as a loan is not warranted. A loss classification does not mean that the loan has no recovery or salvage value; instead, it means that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off all or a portion of a basically worthless loan even though partial recovery may be possible in the future.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2017 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of our testing procedures.


(7)	Guarantees

We issue standby letters of credit in the normal course of business. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party. We are required to perform under a standby letter of credit when drawn upon by the guaranteed third party in the case of nonperformance by our customer. The credit risk associated with standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is subject to normal loan underwriting procedures. Collateral may be obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer. At June 30, 2017, the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these non-recourse standby letters of credit was $25.9 million, of which $17.2 million is fully collateralized. At June 30, 2017, we had a liability, which represents deferred income, of $170,000 related to the standby letters of credit.


(8)	Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering any dilutive items. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. All stock options outstanding during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was less than the average market price of the common shares of $15.97 and $14.15, respectively. All stock options outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was less than the average market price of the common shares of $16.75.Stock options to purchase 723,459 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $14.15 per share were outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2016 but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares of $13.43.

(10)	Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial condition, is required to be disclosed. These requirements exclude certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Financial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis and certain financial assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis are accounted for using a three-level hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices with readily available independent data in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable market inputs (Level 3). When various inputs for measurement fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the lowest level input that has a significant impact on fair value measurement is used.

Financial assets and liabilities are categorized based upon the following characteristics or inputs to the valuation techniques:


•	Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities for which inputs are observable and are obtained from reliable quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in actively traded markets. This is the most reliable fair value measurement and includes, for example, active exchange-traded equity securities.


•	Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which values are based on similar assets or liabilities that are actively traded. Level 2 also includes pricing models in which the inputs are corroborated by market data, for example, matrix pricing.


•	Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 inputs include the following:


•	Quotes from brokers or other external sources that are not considered binding;


•	Quotes from brokers or other external sources where it cannot be determined that market participants would in fact transact for the asset or liability at the quoted price;


•	Quotes and other information from brokers or other external sources where the inputs are not deemed observable.

We are responsible for the valuation process and as part of this process may use data from outside sources in establishing fair value. We perform due diligence to understand the inputs used or how the data was calculated or derived. We also corroborate the reasonableness of external inputs in the valuation process.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statement of financial condition approximate fair value for the following financial instruments: cash on hand, interest-earning deposits in other institutions, federal funds sold and other short-term investments, accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable, and marketable securities available-for-sale.

Marketable Securities

Where available, market values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes, and prices obtained from independent pricing services.

Debt securities - available for sale - Generally, debt securities are valued using pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions and other pricing models utilizing observable inputs. The valuation for most debt securities is classified as Level 2. Securities within Level 2 include corporate bonds, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities and US government obligations. Certain corporate debt securities do not have an active market and as such the broker pricing received uses alternative methods. The fair value of these corporate debt securities is determined by using a discounted cash flow model using market assumptions, which generally include cash flow, collateral and other market assumptions. As such, these securities are included herein as Level 3 assets.

Equity securities - available for sale - Level 1 securities include publicly traded securities valued using quoted market prices. We consider the financial condition of the issuer to determine if the securities have indicators of impairment.

Table of Contents

Debt securities - held to maturity - The fair value of debt securities held to maturity is determined in the same manner as debt securities available for sale.

Loans Held for Sale

The estimated fair value of loans held for sale is based on market bids obtained from potential buyers.

Loans Held for Investment

Loans with comparable characteristics including collateral and re-pricing structures are segregated for valuation purposes. Characteristics include remaining term, coupon interest, and estimated prepayment speeds. Delinquent loans are separately evaluated given the impact delinquency has on the projected future cash flow of the loan and the approximate discount or market rate. Each loan pool is separately valued utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis. Projected monthly cash flows are discounted to present value using a market rate for comparable loans, which is not considered an exit price.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Stock

Due to the restrictions placed on the transferability of FHLB stock it is not practical to determine the fair value.

Deposit Liabilities

The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which includes demand deposits, money market, and other savings accounts, is the amount payable on demand. Although market premiums paid for depository institutions reflect an additional value for these low-cost deposits, adjusting fair value for any value expected to be derived from retaining those deposits for a future period of time or from the benefit that results from the ability to fund interest-earning assets with these deposit liabilities is prohibited. The fair value estimates of deposit liabilities do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by these deposits compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market. Fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies contractual cost currently being offered in the existing portfolio to current market rates being offered locally for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The valuation adjustment for the portfolio consists of the present value of the difference of these two cash flows, discounted at the assumed market rate of the corresponding maturity.

Borrowed Funds

Fixed rate advances are valued by comparing their contractual cost to the prevailing market cost. The carrying amount of collateralized borrowings approximates the fair value.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is calculated using the discounted cash flows at the prevailing rate of interest.

Cash flow hedges — Interest rate swap agreements (“swaps”)

The fair value of the swaps is the amount we would expect to pay to terminate the agreements and is based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows using the LIBOR swap curve, the basis for the underlying interest rate.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

These financial instruments generally are not sold or traded, and estimated fair values are not readily available. However, the fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. Commitments to extend credit are generally short-term in nature and, if drawn upon, are issued under current market terms. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no significant unrealized appreciation or depreciation on these financial instruments.

Impaired loans — A loan is considered to be impaired as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We classify loans individually evaluated for impairment that require a specific reserve as nonrecurring Level 3.

Mortgage servicing rights - Mortgage servicing rights represent the value of servicing residential mortgage loans, when the mortgage loans have been sold into the secondary market and the associated servicing has been retained. The value is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs. All of these assumptions require a significant degree of management judgment. Servicing rights and the related mortgage loans are segregated into categories or homogeneous pools based upon common characteristics. Adjustments are only made when the estimated discounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value, as determined by individual pool. As such, mortgage servicing rights are classified as nonrecurring Level 3.

Real Estate Owned — Real estate owned is comprised of property acquired through foreclosure or voluntarily conveyed by delinquent borrowers. These assets are recorded on the date acquired at the lower of the related loan balance or fair value, less estimated disposition costs, with the fair value being determined by appraisal. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are valued at the lower of the amount recorded at acquisition date or fair value, less estimated disposition costs. We classify all real estate owned as nonrecurring Level 3.

Table of Contents

The table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis and for which we have utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value at June 30, 2017 (dollar amounts in thousands):



	Fair value		Valuation techniques	Significant unobservable inputs	Range (weighted average)
Debt securities	$	10,638	Discounted cash	Discount margin	0.4% to 2.1% (0.7%)
			flow	Default rates	1.0%
				Prepayment speeds	1.0 annually

Loans measured for impairment	40,908		Appraisal value (1)	Estimated cost to sell	10.0%
			Discounted cash flow	Discount rate	4.25% to 10.0% (7.50%)

Mortgage servicing rights	131		Discounted cash	Annual service cost	$80
			flow	Prepayment rates	9.4% to 15.6% (11.2%)
				Expected life (months)	67.25 to 47.14 (60.9)
				Option adjusted spread	800 basis points
				Forward yield curve	1.05% to 2.1% (1.5%)

Real estate owned	6,030		Appraisal value (1)	Estimated cost to sell	10.0%


(1)	Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which may include level 3 inputs that are not identifiable, or by using the discounted cash flow method if the loan is not collateral dependent.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our debt securities are discount margins, default rates and prepayment speeds. Significant increases in any of those rates would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.


(11)	Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in the Company’s Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Trust Preferred Securities) and Derivatives

We have two legacy statutory business trusts: Northwest Bancorp Capital Trust III, a Delaware statutory business trust and Northwest Bancorp Statutory Trust IV, a Connecticut statutory business trust (“Trusts”). These trusts exist solely to issue preferred securities to third parties for cash, issue common securities to the Company in exchange for capitalization of the Trusts, invest the proceeds from the sale of the trust securities in an equivalent amount of debentures of the Company, and engage in other activities that are incidental to those previously listed.

Northwest Bancorp Capital Trust III (Trust III) issued 50,000 cumulative trust preferred securities in a private transaction to a pooled investment vehicle on December 5, 2006 (liquidation value of $1,000 per preferred security or $50,000,000) with a stated maturity of December 30, 2035. These securities carry a floating interest rate, which is reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.38%. Northwest Bancorp Statutory Trust IV (Trust IV) issued 50,000 cumulative trust preferred securities in a private transaction to a pooled investment vehicle on December 15, 2006 (liquidation value of $1,000 per preferred security or $50,000,000) with a stated maturity of December 15, 2035. These securities carry a floating interest rate, which is reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.38%. The Trusts have invested the proceeds of the offerings in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures issued by the Company. The structure of these debentures mirrors the structure of the trust-preferred securities. Trust III holds $51,547,000 of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures and Trust IV holds $51,547,000 of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. These subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trusts. Cash distributions on the trust securities are made on a quarterly basis to the extent interest on the debentures is received by the Trusts. We have the right to defer payment of interest on the subordinated debentures at any time, or from time-to-time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on the subordinated debentures are deferred, the distributions on the trust preferred securities are also deferred. Interest on the subordinated debentures and distributions on the trust securities is cumulative. To date, there have been no interest deferrals. Our obligation constitutes a full, irrevocable, and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis of the obligations of the trust under the preferred securities.

As a result of the LNB acquisition we acquired two statutory business trusts: LNB Trust I and LNB Trust II; both are Delaware statutory business trusts. The outstanding stock issued by LNB Trust I was redeemed on December 15, 2015. At June 30, 2017, LNB Trust II had 7,875 cumulative trust preferred securities outstanding (liquidation value of $1,000 per preferred security or $7,875,000) with a stated maturity of June 15, 2037. These securities carry a floating interest rate, which is reset quarterly, equal

Table of Contents

to three-month LIBOR plus 1.48%. LNB Trust II invested the proceeds of the offerings in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures acquired by the Company. The structure of these debentures mirrors the structure of the trust-preferred securities. LNB Trust II holds $8,119,000 of junior subordinated debentures. The subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trusts. Cash distributions on the trust securities are made on a quarterly basis to the extent interest on the debentures is received by the Trusts.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

We are currently a counterparty to two interest rate swap agreements (swaps), designating the swaps as cash flow hedges. The swaps are intended to protect against the variability of cash flows associated with Trust III and Trust IV. The first swap modifies the re-pricing characteristics of Trust III, wherein for a ten year period expiring in September 2018, the Company receives interest of three-month LIBOR from a counterparty and pays a fixed rate of 4.61% to the same counterparty calculated on a notional amount of $25.0 million. The other swap modifies the re-pricing characteristics of Trust IV, wherein for a ten year period expiring in December 2018, the Company receives interest of three-month LIBOR from a counterparty and pays a fixed rate of 4.09% to the same counterparty calculated on a notional amount of $25.0 million. The swap agreements were entered into with a counterparty that met our credit standards and the agreements contain collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. We believe that the credit risk inherent in the contracts is not significant. At June 30, 2017, $2.6 million of cash was pledged as collateral to the counterparty.

At June 30, 2017, the fair value of the swap agreements was $(1.9) million and was the amount we would have expected to pay if the contracts were terminated. There was no material hedge ineffectiveness for these swaps.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We are currently a counterparty to foreign exchange contracts, which include spot and forward contracts, which are commitments to buy or sell foreign currency at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon settlement date. We use these instruments on a limited basis to eliminate exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates on certain commercial loans that are denominated in foreign currencies. As a result of fluctuations in foreign currencies, the U.S. dollar-equivalent value of the foreign currency denominated loans increase or decrease. Gains or losses on the foreign exchange contracts substantially offset the translation gains and losses on the related foreign currency denominated loans.

(12) Legal Proceedings

We establish accruals for legal proceedings when information related to the loss contingencies represented by those matters indicates both that a loss is probable and that the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2017 we have not accrued for any legal proceedings based on our analysis of currently available information which is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and uncertainties. Any such accruals are adjusted thereafter as appropriate to reflect changes in circumstances. Due to the inherent subjectivity of assessments and unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts accrued may not represent the ultimate loss to us from legal proceedings.

Overview of Critical Accounting Policies Involving Estimates

Please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Executive Summary and Comparison of Financial Condition

Total assets at June 30, 2017 were $9.499 billion, a decrease of $124.6 million, or 1.3%, from $9.624 billion at December 31, 2016. This decrease in assets was due primarily to $131.6 million of assets sold and a cash payment of $62.9 million to Shore United Bank on May 19, 2017, in connection with our selling three branch offices.

Total loans receivable increased by $129.4 million, or 1.7%, to $7.687 billion at June 30, 2017, from $7.557 billion at December 31, 2016 due primarily to an increase in our commercial banking loan portfolio of $106.3 million, or 3.7%, to $2.977 billion at June 30, 2017 from $2.871 billion at December 31, 2016. This increase was due to our continued emphasis on the origination of commercial loans. Additionally, our personal banking loan portfolio increased by $23.1 million, or 0.5%, to $4.710 billion at June 30, 2017 from $4.686 billion at December 31, 2016, due primarily to the continued growth of our residential mortgage and indirect auto portfolios.

Total deposits increased across all of our regions by a total of $88.9 million, or 1.1%, to $7.971 billion at June 30, 2017 from $7.882 billion at December 31, 2016. Noninterest-bearing checking deposits increased by $128.6 million, or 8.9%, to $1.578 billion at June 30, 2017 from $1.449 billion at December 31, 2016. Interest-bearing checking deposits increased by $11.9 million, or 0.8%, to $1.440 billion at June 30, 2017 from $1.428 billion at December 31, 2016. Savings deposits increased by $62.4 million, or 3.8%, to $1.685 billion at June 30, 2017 from $1.623 billion at December 31, 2016. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in time deposits of $72.6 million, or 4.7%, to $1.468 billion at June 30, 2017 from $1.541 billion at December 31, 2016. Additionally, money market demand accounts decreased by $41.3 million, or 2.2%, to $1.800 billion at June 30, 2017 from $1.842 billion at December 31, 2016. Despite modest increases in interest rates, these changes reflect our customers' preference for more liquid deposit products, as well as our emphasis on attracting low-cost fee-based deposits.

Borrowed funds decreased by $32.5 million, or 22.7%, to $110.4 million at June 30, 2017, from $142.9 million at December 31, 2016. This decrease is due to the seasonal fluctuation in the balance of collateralized borrowings.

Table of Contents

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2017 was $1.197 billion, or $11.68 per share, an increase of $26.3 million, or 2.2%, from $1.171 billion, or $11.51 per share, at December 31, 2016. This increase in equity was primarily the result of net income of $48.7 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $2.8 million due to an improvement in the net unrealized gain of the investment securities portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Partially offsetting these increases was the payment of cash dividends of $32.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

As previously announced in April, we closed all remaining offices of our consumer finance subsidiary, NCDC, on July 14, 2017. As part of this closure, all NCDC loans were transferred to Northwest for servicing and collections. Northwest will continue to make direct consumer loans to qualified customers as well as continue to offer indirect sales finance loans through various dealers and retailers.

Regulatory Capital

Financial institutions and their holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on a company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, financial institutions must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting guidelines. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments made by the regulators about components, risk-weighting and other factors.

In July 2013, the FDIC and the other federal regulatory agencies issued a final rule that revised their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The rule limits an organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.

The capital conservation buffer requirement is being phased in beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending on January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective.

Quantitative measures, established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy, require financial institutions to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total CET1 and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Capital ratios are presented in the tables below. Dollar amounts in the accompanying tables are in thousands.

Liquidity

We are required to maintain a sufficient level of liquid assets, as determined by management and reviewed for adequacy by the FDIC and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking during their regular examinations. Northwest monitors its liquidity position primarily using the ratio of unencumbered available-for-sale liquid assets as a percentage of deposits and borrowings (“liquidity ratio”). Northwest’s liquidity ratio at June 30, 2017 was 11.7%. We adjust liquidity levels in order to meet funding needs for deposit outflows, payment of real estate taxes and insurance on mortgage loan escrow accounts, repayment of borrowings and loan commitments. At June 30, 2017 Northwest had $3.266 billion of additional borrowing capacity available with the FHLB, including $150.0 million on an overnight line of credit, which had a balance of $201,000 at June 30, 2017, as well as $75.3 million of borrowing capacity available with the Federal Reserve Bank and $80.0 million with two correspondent banks.

Dividends

We paid $16.3 million and $15.0 million in cash dividends during the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The common stock dividend payout ratio (dividends declared per share divided by net income/ (loss) per share) was 53.3% and (214.3%) for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, on regular dividends of $0.16 per share and $0.15 per share for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We paid $32.5 million and $29.9 million in cash dividends during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The common stock dividend payout ratio (dividends declared per share divided by net income per share) was 66.7% and 272.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, on regular dividends of $0.32 per share and $0.30 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. On July 19, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.16 per share payable on August 17, 2017 to shareholders of record as of August 3, 2016. This represents the 91st consecutive quarter we have paid a cash dividend.

Nonperforming Assets

The following table sets forth information with respect to nonperforming assets. Nonaccrual loans are those loans on which the accrual of interest has ceased. Generally, when a loan is 90 days past due, we fully reverse all accrued interest thereon and cease to accrue interest thereafter. Exceptions are made for loans that have contractually matured, are in the process of being modified to extend the maturity date and are otherwise current as to principal and interest, and well secured loans that are in process of collection. Loans may also be placed on nonaccrual before they reach 90 days past due if conditions exist that call into question our ability to collect all contractual interest. Other nonperforming assets represent property acquired through foreclosure or repossession. Foreclosed property is carried at the lower of its fair value less estimated costs to sell, or the principal balance of the related loan.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2017, we expect to fully collect the carrying value of our purchased credit impaired loans and have determined that we can reasonably estimate their future cash flows including those loans that are 90 days or more delinquent. As a result, we do not consider these loans that are 90 days or more delinquent, which total $1.2 million, to be nonaccrual or impaired and continue to recognize interest income on these loans, including the loans’ accretable discount.

A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement including both contractual principal and interest payments. The amount of impairment is required to be measured using one of three methods: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, a specific allowance is allocated for the impairment. Impaired loans at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $97.6 million and $108.1 million, respectively.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Our Board of Directors has adopted an “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” (“ALL”) policy designed to provide management with a systematic methodology for determining and documenting the ALL each reporting period. This methodology was developed to provide a consistent process and review procedure to ensure that the ALL is in conformity with GAAP, our policies and procedures and other supervisory and regulatory guidelines.

On an ongoing basis, the Credit Administration department, as well as loan officers, branch managers and department heads, review and monitor the loan portfolio for problem loans. This portfolio monitoring includes a review of the monthly delinquency reports as well as historical comparisons and trend analysis. In addition, a meeting is held every quarter with each region to monitor the performance and status of loans on an internal watch list. On an on-going basis the loan officer in conjunction with a portfolio manager grades or classifies problem loans or potential problem loans based upon their knowledge of the lending relationship and other information previously accumulated. This rating is also reviewed independently by our Loan Review department on a periodic basis. Our loan grading system for problem loans is consistent with industry regulatory guidelines which classify loans as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss.” Loans that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the previous categories, but which possess some weaknesses, are designated as “special mention”. A “substandard” loan is any loan that is 90 days or more contractually delinquent or is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as “doubtful” have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions or values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans classified as “loss” are considered uncollectible so that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss allowance is not warranted.

Credit relationships that have been classified as substandard or doubtful and are greater than or equal to $1.0 million are reviewed by the Credit Administration department for possible impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including both contractual principal and interest payments.

If such an individual loan is deemed to be impaired, the Credit Administration department determines the proper measure of impairment for each loan based on one of three methods: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, less costs of sale or disposal. If the measurement of the impaired loan is more or less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Credit Administration department adjusts the specific allowance associated with that individual loan accordingly.

If a substandard or doubtful loan is not considered individually for impairment, it is grouped with other loans that possess common characteristics for impairment evaluation and analysis. This segmentation is accomplished by grouping loans of similar product types, risk characteristics and industry concentration into homogeneous pools. Historical loss ratios are analyzed and adjusted based on delinquency trends as well as the current economic, political, regulatory, and interest rate environment and used to estimate the current measure of impairment.

The individual impairment measures along with the estimated loss for each homogeneous pool are consolidated into one summary document. This summary schedule along with the support documentation used to establish this schedule is presented to management’s Credit Committee on a quarterly basis. The Credit Committee reviews the processes and documentation presented, reviews the concentration of credit by industry and customer, lending products and activity, competition and collateral values, as well as economic conditions in general and in each of our market areas. Based on this review and discussion, the appropriate amount of ALL is estimated and any adjustments to reconcile the actual ALL with this estimate are determined. In addition, the Credit Committee considers if any changes to the methodology are needed. The Credit Committee also reviews and discusses

Table of Contents

delinquency trends, nonperforming asset amounts and ALL levels and ratios compared to our peer group as well as state and national statistics. Similarly, following the Credit Committee’s review and approval, a review is performed by the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

In addition to the reviews by management’s Credit Committee and the Board of Directors’ Risk Management Committee, regulators from either the FDIC or the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities perform an extensive review on an annual basis for the adequacy of the ALL and its conformity with regulatory guidelines and pronouncements. Any recommendations or enhancements from these independent parties are considered by management and the Credit Committee and implemented accordingly.

We acknowledge that this is a dynamic process and consists of factors, many of which are external and out of our control that can change often, rapidly and substantially. The adequacy of the ALL is based upon estimates using all the information previously discussed as well as current and known circumstances and events. There is no assurance that actual portfolio losses will not be substantially different than those that were estimated.

We utilize a structured methodology each period when analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the related provision for loan losses, which the Credit Committee assesses regularly for appropriateness. As part of the analysis as of June 30, 2017, we considered the economic conditions in our markets, such as unemployment and bankruptcy levels as well as changes in estimates of real estate collateral values; and no changes in methodology was determined necessary. In addition, we considered the overall trends in asset quality, specific reserves already established for criticized loans, historical loss rates and collateral valuations. The allowance for loan losses increased by $2.0 million, or 3.2%, to $62.9 million, or 0.82% of total loans at June 30, 2017 from $60.9 million, or 0.81% of total loans, at December 31, 2016.

We also consider how the levels of non-accrual loans and historical charge-offs have influenced the required amount of allowance for loan losses. Nonaccrual loans of $72.8 million or 0.95% of total loans receivable at June 30, 2017 decreased by $6.7 million, or 8.5%, from $79.5 million, or 1.05% of total loans receivable, at December 31, 2016. As a percentage of average loans, annualized net charge-offs increased to 0.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 0.21% for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $31.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, an increase of $38.0 million, or 542.1%, from a net loss of $7.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net income resulted from a decrease in noninterest expense of $28.8 million, or 28.3%, and increases in noninterest income of $21.2 million, or 104.6% and net interest income of $7.2 million, or 9.5%. Partially offsetting these factors were increases in income tax expense of $17.9 million, or 512.5%, and provision for loan losses of $1.4 million, or 32.5%. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 represents annualized returns on average equity and average assets of 10.48% and 1.30%, respectively, compared to (2.44)% and (0.32)% for the same quarter last year. A further discussion of significant changes follows.

Interest Income

Total interest income increased by $4.2 million, or 5.0%, to $89.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $85.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase is the result of an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $708.6 million, or 8.7%, to $8.835 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $8.126 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets to 4.08% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from 4.23% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $3.2 million, or 3.9%, to $84.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $81.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase in interest income on loans receivable is attributed to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $396.9 million, or 5.5%, to $7.654 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $7.257 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to the addition of $455.9 million of loans acquired, at fair value, in the third quarter of 2016 and $129.4 million of loan growth during 2017. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in the average yield on loans receivable which decreased to 4.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from 4.52% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The average loan yield was negatively affected by the origination of fixed rate loans at lower rates than the existing portfolio yield as well as the runoff of higher rate consumer loans at our consumer discount subsidiary. Partially offsetting these declines was the increase in adjustable rate loans in response to increases in short-term rates by the Federal Reserve.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by $872,000, or 41.2%, to $3.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase is attributable to increases in both the average balance and average yield. The average balance of mortgage-backed securities increased by $134.5 million, or 29.3%, to $592.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $458.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The increase in the average balance was due to the investment of excess cash resulting from deposit growth and office purchases. Additionally, the average yield on mortgage-backed securities increased to 2.02% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from 1.85% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 due to both an increase in short-term market interest rates that positively impacted our adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and the purchase of fixed rate mortgage-backed securities with yields higher than the existing portfolio.

Interest income on investment securities remain flat at $1.5 million for both periods. The increase of $47,000 is attributable to an increase in the average balance of investment securities of $58.8 million, or 18.7%, to $372.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $313.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to the investment of excess cash. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in the average yield on investment securities to 1.62% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from 1.87% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 due to higher yielding municipal securities being called and replaced with lower yielding, shorter term government agency securities.

Dividends on FHLB stock decreased by $351,000, or 87.5%, to $50,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $401,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is attributable to decreases in both the average balance and average yield. The average yield on FHLB stock decreased to 2.64% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from 4.84% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Additionally, the average balance of FHLB stock decreased by $25.7 million, or 77.2% to $7.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $33.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Required FHLB stock holdings fluctuate with, among other things, the utilization of our borrowing capacity as well as capital requirements established by the FHLB.

Interest income on interest-earning deposits increased by $466,000, or 665.7%, to $536,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $70,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase is attributable to increases in both the average balance and average yield. The average balance of interest-earning deposits increased by $144.1 million, or 225.5%, to $208.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $64.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, due to increased customer deposits. Additionally, the average yield on interest-earning deposits increased to 1.02% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from 0.43% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, as a result of the recent increases in the targeted Federal Funds rate by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $2.9 million, or 29.4%, to $7.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $10.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 0.42% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from 0.63% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This decrease resulted from the replacement of $715.0 million of long-term FHLB advances with lower-cost deposits received as part of the September 2016 office acquisition. Partially offsetting the decrease in cost was an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $1.042 billion, or 19.0%, to $6.524 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $5.482 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to the addition of $1.643 billion, at fair value, of deposit balances from the aforementioned office acquisition in the third quarter of 2016 and continued success in generating new checking relationships.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased by $7.2 million, or 9.5%, to $82.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $75.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase is attributable to the factors discussed above. The repayment of all FHLB advances with the $1.643 billion in deposits from the September 2016 office acquisition improved net interest spread and margin. Net interest rate spread increased to 3.66% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from 3.60% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 while interest margin increased to 3.75% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from 3.72% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased by $1.4 million, or 32.5%, to $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to reserves related to growth in our indirect automobile and commercial loan portfolios, as well as for the closure of our consumer finance subsidiary. However, overall credit quality improved as total nonaccrual loans decreased by $3.1 million, or 4.1%, to $72.8 million at June 30, 2017 from $75.9 million at June 30, 2016 and total delinquent loans decreased by $1.3 million, or 1.5%, to $82.5 million at June 30, 2017 from $83.8 million at June 30, 2016, despite the relatively strong loan growth over the past year. Additionally, annualized net charge-offs decreased to 0.20% of total loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to 0.31% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

In determining the amount of the current period provision, we considered current economic conditions, including but not limited to unemployment levels and bankruptcy filings, and changes in real estate values and the impact of these factors on the quality of our loan portfolio and historical loss factors. We analyze the allowance for loan losses as described in the section entitled “Allowance for Loan Losses.” The provision that is recorded is sufficient, in our judgment, to bring this reserve to a level that reflects the losses inherent in our loan portfolio relative to loan mix, economic conditions and historical loss experience.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased by $21.2 million, or 104.6%, to $41.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $20.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to the $17.2 million gain on the sale of our three Maryland offices. Also contributing to the increase is an increase in service charges and fees of $2.1 million, or 19.9%, to $12.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $10.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, due primarily to the aforementioned growth in checking accounts. Trust and other financial services income increased by $1.3 million, or 40.4%, to $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, due to an increase in assets under management.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased by $28.8 million, or 28.3%, to $73.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $102.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is primarily the result of the $37.0 million penalty incurred from the prepayment of $715.0 million of FHLB long-term advances during the second quarter of 2016. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in compensation and employee benefits of $4.5 million, or 13.4%, to $37.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from $33.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to the addition of the employees from the September 2016 office acquisition, an overall increase in health-care costs, and normal annual merit increases. Additionally, processing expenses increased by $1.5 million, amortization of intangible assets increased by $1.0 million, premises and occupancy costs increased by $828,000, and office operations increased by $827,000, due primarily to the incremental costs associated with the 18 offices acquired in the third quarter of 2016.

Income Taxes

The provision for income tax expense increased by $17.9 million, or 512.5%, to $14.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from a tax benefit of $3.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase in income tax expense is primarily the result of an increase in income before income taxes of $55.9 million, or 532.3%.The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was 31.7% compared to 33.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. We anticipate our effective tax rate will be between 31.0% and 33.0% for all of 2017.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $48.7 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, an increase of $37.7 million, or 344.0%, from $11.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net income resulted from increases in noninterest income of $23.3 million, or 58.6%, and net interest income of $16.2 million, or 11.0%, and a decrease in noninterest expense of $20.5 million, or 12.4%. Partially offsetting these factors were increases in income tax expense of $17.9 million, or 389.2%, and provision for loan losses of $4.3 million, or 74.1%. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 represents annualized returns on average equity and average assets of 8.34% and 1.03%, respectively, compared to 1.90% and 0.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. A discussion of significant changes follows.

Interest Income

Total interest income increased by $6.2 million, or 3.6%, to $177.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $170.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is the result of an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $685.4 million, or 8.4%, to $8.828 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $8.143 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 4.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 4.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $5.2 million, or 3.2%, to $167.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $162.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase in interest income on loans receivable is attributed to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $417.8 million, or 5.8%, to $7.656 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $7.238 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to the addition of $455.9 million of loans acquired, at fair value, in the third quarter of 2016, and $129.4 million of organic loan growth during 2017. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in the average yield on loans receivable to 4.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 4.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily due to the same factors discussed in the Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by $865,000, or 19.9%, to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is the result of increases in both the average balance of and average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities. The average balance of mortgage-backed securities increased by $59.3 million, or 12.5%, to $532.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $473.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in the average balance was due to the investment of excess cash resulting from deposit growth and office purchases. The average yield on mortgage-backed securities increased to 1.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 1.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 due to both an increase in short-term market interest rates that positively impacted the yield of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and the purchase of fixed rate mortgage-backed securities with yields higher than the existing portfolio.

Interest income on investment securities decreased by $140,000, or 4.3%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is result of a decrease in the average yield on investment securities to 1.64% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 1.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is primarily the result of higher rate, tax-free, municipal securities maturing or being called and replaced by lower yielding, shorter duration government agency securities. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in the average balance of investment securities of $24.5 million, or 7.0%, to $375.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $350.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to the investment of excess cash.

Dividends on FHLB stock decreased by $759,000, or 87.4%, to $109,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $868,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is the result of decreases in both the average balance and average yield on FHLB stock. The average balance decreased by $27.7 million, or 78.8%, to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $35.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Additionally, the average yield decreased to 2.95% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 4.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Required FHLB stock holdings fluctuate with, among other things, the utilization of our borrowing capacity as well as capital requirements established by the FHLB.

Interest income on interest-earning deposits increased by $1.1 million, or 827.1%, to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $129,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is the result of increases in both the average balance of and average yield earned on interest-earning deposits.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $10.0 million, or 42.1%, to $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $23.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, to 0.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 0.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and a decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds of $704.1 million. The decrease in both the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the average balance of borrowed funds is due primarily to the payoff of all FHLB advances in the third quarter of 2016. Additionally, the average cost of each deposit type declined from the prior year with the exception of interest-bearing demand deposits. Partially offsetting the decrease in cost was an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $1.084 billion, or 19.8%, to $6.551 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $5.467 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to the addition of $1.643 billion, at fair value, of deposit balances from the office acquisition in the third quarter of 2016, which was augmented by the success in procuring new checking relationships.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased by $16.2 million, or 11.0%, to $163.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $147.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is attributable to the factors discussed above. The repayment of all FHLB advances with the $1.643 billion in deposits from the September 2016 office acquisition improved net interest spread and margin. Net interest rate spread increased to 3.64% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 3.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 while net interest margin increased to 3.70% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 3.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased by $4.3 million, or 74.1%, to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to reserves related to growth in our indirect automobile and commercial loan portfolios, as well as for the closure of our consumer finance subsidiary. Additionally, annualized net charge-offs increased to 0.22% of total loans for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 0.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. However, overall credit quality improved as total nonaccrual loans decreased by $3.1 million, or 4.1%, to $72.8 million at June 30, 2017 from $75.9 million at June 30, 2016 and total delinquent loans decreased by $1.3 million, or 1.5%, to $82.5 million at June 30, 2017 from $83.8 million at June 30, 2016, despite robust growth in the loan portfolio.

In determining the amount of the current period provision, we considered current economic conditions, including unemployment levels and bankruptcy filings, and changes in real estate values and the impact of these factors on the quality of our loan portfolio and historical loss factors. We analyze the allowance for loan losses as described in the section entitled “Allowance for Loan Losses.” The provision that is recorded is sufficient, in our judgment, to bring this reserve to a level that reflects the losses inherent in our loan portfolio relative to loan mix, economic conditions and historical loss experience.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased by $23.3 million, or 58.6%, to $63.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $39.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to the $17.2 million gain on the sale of our three Maryland offices. Additionally, service charges and fees increased by $3.8 million, or 18.2%, to $24.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, due primarily to the growth in checking accounts from the September 2016 office acquisition and the successful execution of internal checking account growth initiatives. Trust and other financial services income increased by $2.4 million, or 36.2%, to $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, due to an increase in assets under management.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased by $20.5 million, or 12.4%, to $144.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $165.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease is primarily the result of the $37.0 million prepayment penalty incurred as a result of paying off $715.0 million of FHLB long-term advances during the second quarter of 2016. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in compensation and employee benefits of $9.2 million, or 13.8%, to $75.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $66.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to the employees added from the September 2016 office acquisition, an increase in health-care costs, and normal annual merit increases. Additionally, processing expenses increased by $3.0 million, amortization of intangible assets increased by $2.1 million, premises and occupancy costs increased by $1.8 million, and office operations increased by $1.6 million, due primarily to the incremental costs associated with the 18 offices acquired in the third quarter of 2016.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased by $17.9 million, or 389.2%, to $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase in income tax expense is primarily the result of an increase in pretax income of $55.6 million, or 357.3%. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 31.5% compared to 29.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We anticipate our effective tax rate will be between 31.0% and 33.0% for all of 2017.

Average Balance Sheet

(Dollars in thousands)

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are calculated using daily averages.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As the holding company for a savings bank, one of our primary market risks is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of net interest income to variations in interest rates over a specified time period. The sensitivity results from differences in the time periods in which interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities mature or re-price. We attempt to control interest rate risk by matching, within acceptable limits, the re-pricing periods of assets and liabilities. We have attempted to limit our exposure to interest sensitivity by increasing core deposits, enticing customers to extend certificates of deposit maturities, borrowing funds with fixed-rates and longer maturities and by shortening the maturities of our assets by emphasizing the origination of more short-term fixed rate loans and adjustable rate loans. We also continue to sell a portion of the long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans that we originate. In addition, we purchase shorter term or adjustable-rate investment securities and mortgage-backed securities.

We have an Asset/Liability Committee consisting of members of management which meets monthly to review market interest rates, economic conditions, the pricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the balance sheet structure. On a quarterly basis, this Committee also reviews the interest rate risk position and cash flow projections.

The Board of Directors has a Risk Management Committee which meets quarterly and reviews interest rate risk and trends, our interest sensitivity position, the liquidity position and the market risk inherent in the investment portfolio.

In an effort to assess interest rate risk and market risk, we utilize a simulation model to determine the effect of immediate incremental increases and decreases in interest rates on net income and the market value of equity. Certain assumptions are made regarding loan prepayments and decay rates of savings and interest-bearing demand accounts. Because it is difficult to accurately

Table of Contents

project the market reaction of depositors and borrowers, the effect of actual changes in interest rates on these assumptions may differ from simulated results. We have established the following guidelines for assessing interest rate risk:

Net interest income simulation. Given a non-parallel shift of 100 basis points (“bps”), 200 bps and 300 bps in interest rates, the estimated net income may not decrease by more than 5%, 10% and 15%, respectively, within a one-year period.

Net income simulation. Given a non-parallel shift of 100 basis points (“bps”), 200 bps and 300 bps in interest rates, the estimated net income may not decrease by more than 10%, 20% and 30%, respectively, within a one-year period.

Market value of equity simulation. The market value of equity is the present value of assets and liabilities. Given a non-parallel shift of 100 bps, 200 bps and 300 bps in interest rates, the market value of equity may not decrease by more than 15%, 30% and 35%, respectively, from the computed economic value at current interest rate levels.

The following table illustrates the simulated impact of a 100 bps, 200 bps or 300 bps upward or a 100 bps downward movement in interest rates on net income, return on average equity, earnings per share and market value of equity. This analysis was prepared assuming that interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability levels at June 30, 2017 remain constant. The impact of the rate movements was computed by simulating the effect of an immediate and sustained shift in interest rates over a twelve-month period from June 30, 2017 levels.



	Increase									Decrease
Non-parallel shift in interest rates over the next 12 months	100 bps			200 bps			300 bps			100 bps
Projected percentage increase/ (decrease) in net interest income	(0.7		)%	(0.2		)%	(0.7		)%	(3.9		)%
Projected percentage increase/ (decrease) in net income	(0.7		)%	1.1		%	1.2		%	(9.6		)%
Projected increase/ (decrease) in return on average equity	(0.7		)%	1.2		%	1.3		%	(9.2		)%
Projected increase/ (decrease) in earnings per share	$	(0.01	)	$	0.01		$	0.01		$	(0.10	)
Projected percentage increase/ (decrease) in market value of equity	(3.1		)%	(7.5		)%	(12.7		)%	(2.0		)%

The figures included in the table above represent projections that were computed based upon certain assumptions including prepayment rates and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates. Actual results may differ significantly due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in the internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to a number of asserted and unasserted claims encountered in the normal course of business. We believe that any additional liability, other than that which has already been accrued, that may result from such potential litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements. However, we cannot presently determine whether or not any claims against us will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any future reporting period. See note 12.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as previously disclosed, there have been no material updates or additions to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
