Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "foresees," "intends," "plans," "projects," and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "could," "may," "might," "should," "will," and "would," or variations or negatives of such terms are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts, although not all forward-looking statements include the foregoing words. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following:
business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our local market areas;
natural disasters and adverse weather events, acts of terrorism, an outbreak of hostilities, regional or national protests and civil unrest (including any resulting branch closures or property damage), widespread illness or public health outbreaks or other international or domestic calamities, and other matters beyond our control;
system failures, cybersecurity threats and/or security breaches and the cost of defending against them;
the duration and impacts of the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and efforts to contain its transmission, as well as the impact of the actions taken by governmental authorities to address the impact of COVID-19 on the United States economy, including, without limitation, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act") and any related future economic stimulus legislation;
deterioration of our asset quality;
factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers and the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions;
changes in the value of collateral securing our loans;
our ability to anticipate interest rate changes and manage interest rate risk;
the effectiveness of our risk management framework and quantitative models;
our inability to receive dividends from our bank subsidiary and to service debt, pay dividends to our common stockholders, repurchase our shares of common stock and satisfy obligations as they become due;
changes in our operation or expansion strategy or our ability to prudently manage our growth and execute our strategy;
changes in management personnel;
our ability to maintain important deposit customer relationships, our reputation or otherwise avoid liquidity risks;
increasing costs as we grow deposits;
operational risks associated with our business;
volatility and direction of market interest rates;
3


Table of Contents
risks associated with widespread inflation;
increased competition in the financial services industry, particularly from regional and national institutions;
our level of nonperforming assets and the costs associated with resolving any problem loans, including litigation and other costs;
our ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements, including our ability to generate liquidity internally or raise capital on favorable terms, including continued access to the debt and equity capital markets;
changes in the utility of our non-GAAP liquidity measurements and their underlying assumptions or estimates;
difficult market conditions and unfavorable economic trends in the United States generally, and particularly in the market areas in which Origin operates and in which its loans are concentrated;
an increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth;
the credit risk associated with the substantial amount of commercial real estate, construction and land development, and commercial loans in our loan portfolio;
changes in the laws, rules, regulations, interpretations or policies relating to financial institutions, as well as tax, trade, monetary and fiscal matters;
periodic changes to the extensive body of accounting rules and best practices, may change the treatment and recognition of critical financial line items and affect our profitability;
further government intervention in the U.S. financial system;
compliance with governmental and regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and others relating to banking, consumer protection, securities and tax matters;
uncertainty regarding the future of the London Interbank Offered Rate and the impact of any replacement alternatives on our business;
system failures, cybersecurity threats and/or security breaches and the cost of defending against them;
other factors that are discussed in the sections titled "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in this report, in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and in our other reports filed with the SEC; and
our ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing.
The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this report. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. In addition, as a result of these and other factors, our past financial performance should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations.    Origin Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") is a financial holding company headquartered in Ruston, Louisiana. The Company's wholly owned bank subsidiary, Origin Bank ("Bank"), provides a broad range of financial services to businesses, municipalities, high net worth individuals and retail clients. The Company currently operates 44 banking centers located in Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston, Texas, North Louisiana and in Mississippi. The Company principally operates in one business segment, community banking.
Basis of Presentation.    The consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of the Company and all other entities in which Origin Bancorp, Inc. has a controlling financial interest, including the Bank and Davison Insurance Agency, LLC ("Davison Insurance"), doing business as Thomas & Farr Agency, and Reeves, Coon and Funderburg ("RCF"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's accounting and financial reporting policies conform, in all material respects, to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and to general practices within the financial services industry. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.
The consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, excluding the figures as of December 31, 2020, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K ("2020 Form 10-K") filed with the SEC. Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for a full year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentations. These reclassifications did not impact previously reported net income or comprehensive income.
Use of Estimates.    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, including the accompanying notes, and actual results could differ. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change include the allowance for credit losses for loans and available for sale securities; fair value measurements of assets and liabilities; and income taxes. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements in the period they are deemed necessary. While management uses its best judgment, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Effect of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating some exceptions to the general approach in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes. It also clarifies certain aspects of the existing guidance to promote more consistent application, among other things. The amendments were implemented effective January 1, 2021. Implementation of this ASU did not materially impact the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Management evaluates available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Consideration is given to (1) the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
At March 31, 2021, the Company had 134 available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position without an allowance for credit losses. Management does not have the intent to sell any of these securities and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Accordingly, at March 31, 2021, management believes that the unrealized losses detailed in the previous table are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in interest rates and other market conditions, and therefore no losses have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

(1)Includes $584.1 million and $546.5 million of PPP loans at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
(2)Includes net deferred loan fees of $15.9 million and $13.7 million at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Included in total loans held for investment ("LHFI") were $13.6 million and $17.0 million of commercial real estate loans for which the fair value option was elected at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company mitigates the interest rate component of fair value risk on loans at fair value by entering into derivative interest rate contracts. See Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for more information on loans for which the fair value option has been elected.
The Company has been a participating lender in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). At March 31, 2021, there were approximately $584.1 million in PPP loans outstanding included in the Company’s commercial and industrial loan portfolio, including $11.5 million in net deferred loan fees. PPP loans have a maximum maturity of two years and earn interest at 1%. PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government and can be forgiven by the SBA if the borrower uses the proceeds to pay specified expenses. The Company believes that the majority of its PPP loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program.
Credit quality indicators. As part of the Company's commitment to manage the credit quality of its loan portfolio, management annually updates and evaluates certain credit quality indicators, which include but are not limited to (i) weighted-average risk rating of the loan portfolio, (ii) net charge-offs, (iii) level of non-performing loans, (iv) level of classified loans (defined as substandard, doubtful and loss), and (v) the general economic conditions in the states in which the Company operates. The Company maintains an internal risk rating system where ratings are assigned to individual loans based on assessed risk. Loan risk ratings are the primary indicator of credit quality for the loan portfolio and are continually evaluated to ensure they are appropriate based on currently available information.
The following is a summary description of the Company's internal risk ratings:
• Pass (1-6)Loans within this risk rating are further categorized as follows:
Minimal risk (1)Well-collateralized by cash equivalent instruments held by the Bank.
Moderate risk (2)Borrowers with excellent asset quality and liquidity. Borrowers' capitalization and liquidity exceed industry norms. Borrowers in this category have significant levels of liquid assets and have a low level of leverage.
Better than average risk (3)Borrowers with strong financial strength and excellent liquidity that consistently demonstrate strong operating performance. Borrowers in this category generally have a sizable net worth that can be converted into liquid assets within 12 months.


17



Table of Contents
ORIGIN BANCORP, INC.
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Average risk (4)Borrowers with sound credit quality and financial performance, including liquidity. Borrowers are supported by sufficient cash flow coverage generated through operations across the full business cycle.
Marginally acceptable risk (5)Loans generally meet minimum requirements for an acceptable loan in accordance with lending policy, but possess one or more attributes that cause the overall risk profile to be higher than the majority of newly approved loans.
Watch (6)A passing loan with one or more factors that identify a potential weakness in the overall ability of the borrower to repay the loan. These weaknesses are generally mitigated by other factors that reduce the risk of delinquency or loss.
• Special Mention (7)This grade is intended to be temporary and includes borrowers whose credit quality has deteriorated and is at risk of further decline.
• Substandard (8)This grade includes "Substandard" loans under regulatory guidelines. Substandard loans exhibit a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes debt repayment in accordance with contractual agreements, even though the loan may be performing. These obligations are characterized by the distinct possibility that a loss may be incurred if these weaknesses are not corrected and repayment may be dependent upon collateral liquidation or secondary source of repayment.
• Doubtful (9)This grade includes "Doubtful" loans under regulatory guidelines. Such loans are placed on nonaccrual status and repayment may be dependent upon collateral with no readily determinable valuation or valuations that are highly subjective in nature. Repayment for these loans is considered improbable based on currently existing facts and circumstances.
• Loss (0)This grade includes "Loss" loans under regulatory guidelines. Loss loans are charged-off or written down when repayment is not expected.
In connection with the review of the loan portfolio, the Company considers risk elements attributable to particular loan types or categories in assessing the quality of individual loans. The list of loans to be reviewed for possible individual evaluation consists of nonaccrual commercial loans over $100,000 with direct exposure, unsecured loans over 90 days past due, commercial loans classified substandard or worse over $100,000 with direct exposure, troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"), consumer loans greater than $100,000 with a FICO score under 625, loans greater than $100,000 in which the borrower has filed bankruptcy, and all loans 180 days or more past due. Loans under $50,000 will be evaluated collectively in designated pools unless a loss exposure has been identified. Some additional risk elements considered by loan type include:
for commercial real estate loans, the debt service coverage ratio, operating results of the owner in the case of owner occupied properties, the loan to value ratio, the age and condition of the collateral and the volatility of income, property value and future operating results typical of properties of that type;
for construction, land and land development loans, the perceived feasibility of the project, including the ability to sell developed lots or improvements constructed for resale or the ability to lease property constructed for lease, the quality and nature of contracts for presale or prelease, if any, experience and ability of the developer and loan to value ratio;
for residential mortgage loans, the borrower's ability to repay the loan, including a consideration of the debt to income ratio and employment and income stability, the loan-to-value ratio, and the age, condition and marketability of the collateral; and
for commercial and industrial loans, the debt service coverage ratio (income from the business in excess of operating expenses compared to loan repayment requirements), the operating results of the commercial, industrial or professional enterprise, the borrower's business, professional and financial ability and expertise, the specific risks and volatility of income and operating results typical for businesses in that category and the value, nature and marketability of collateral.

(1)The $18.5 million provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income includes a $18.4 million net loan loss provision and a $135,000 provision for off-balance sheet commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The decrease in provision expense compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020, was primarily due to improvement in forecasted economic conditions during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as compared to forecasted worsening economic conditions during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company's credit quality profile in relation to the allowance for loan credit losses drove a decline of $1.6 million in the collective reserve during the three months ended March 31, 2021, of which a $1.1 million decrease was related to qualitative factor changes across the Company’s risk pools for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Six commercial and industrial loans, reflecting four loan relationships, were written down during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, totaling $2.8 million.

The provision for loan credit losses for the first quarter of 2020 was driven by a significant increase in uncertainty related to the economic impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Based upon the requirement of CECL, economic forecasts are essential for estimating the life of loan losses. The increased risk, as reflected in current and forecast adjustments, resulted in approximately $11.2 million in provision expense across the Company’s risk pools. An additional $6.0 million in provision expense was due to the current and forecast effects of individually evaluated loans. The provision for commercial real estate loans includes approximately $3.0 million in increased credit allowances related to individually evaluated loans. The provision for commercial and industrial loans includes $5.4 million related to current and forecast factors as well as approximately $3.0 million related to individually evaluated loans. The only significant charge-off in commercial and industrial loans during the first quarter of 2020 was for $732,000 on an operating loan secured by equipment.

Note that the Company is not using the collateral maintenance agreement practical expedient. All fair value of collateral is real estate related.
Collateral-dependent loans consist primarily of commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. These loans are individually evaluated when foreclosure is probable or when the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral. Loan balances are charged down to the underlying collateral value when they are deemed uncollectible.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Subsequent receipts on nonaccrual loans are recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded only after principal recovery is reasonably assured. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. At March 31, 2021, the Company had no funding commitments for which the terms have been modified in TDRs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, gross interest income that would have been recorded had the nonaccruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms was $341,000 and $354,000, respectively. No interest income was recorded on these loans while they were considered nonaccrual during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
The Company elects the fair value option for recording residential mortgage loans held for sale, as well as certain commercial real estate loans in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company had $963,000 of nonaccrual mortgage loans held for sale that were recorded using the fair value option election at March 31, 2021, compared to $681,000 at December 31, 2020. There were no nonaccrual LHFI that were recorded using the fair value option election at March 31, 2021, or December 31, 2020.
Certain borrowers are currently unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the adverse effects of COVID-19. To help mitigate these effects, loan customers may apply for a deferral of payments, or portions thereof, for up to 90 days. The CARES Act and related guidance from the federal banking agencies provide financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend requirements under GAAP related to classification of certain loan modifications as TDRs to account for the current and anticipated effects of COVID-19. The CARES Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, specified that COVID-19 related loan modifications executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) 60 days after the date of termination of the national emergency declared by the President and (ii) January 1, 2022, on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are not TDRs. Additionally, under guidance from the federal banking agencies, other short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers that were current prior to any relief are not TDRs under ASC Subtopic 310-40, “Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors.” These modifications include short-term (e.g., up to six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or delays in payment that are insignificant. At March 31, 2021, the Company had 24 loans totaling $5.3 million under COVID-19 related forbearance agreements that were not treated as TDRs pursuant to the CARES Act and interagency guidance compared to 49 loans totaling $97.7 million at December 31, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, no loans defaulted after having been modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, two loans with a combined outstanding principal balance of $2.3 million defaulted after having been modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months. A payment default is defined as a loan that was 90 or more days past due. The modifications made during the three months ended March 31, 2020, did not significantly impact the Company's determination of the allowance for loan credit losses. The Company monitors the performance of the modified loans to their restructured terms on an ongoing basis. In the event of a subsequent default, the allowance for loan credit losses continues to be reassessed on the basis of an individual evaluation of each loan.
Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the exchange price that is expected to be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Certain assets and liabilities are recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements at fair value. Some are recorded on a recurring basis and some on a non-recurring basis.
The Company utilizes fair value measurement to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not available, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied.
A hierarchy for fair value has been established which categorizes the valuation techniques into three levels used to measure fair value. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Fair value is based on significant other observable inputs that are generally determined based on a single price for each financial instrument provided to the Company by an unrelated third-party pricing service and is based on one or more of the following:
Quoted prices for similar, but not identical, assets or liabilities in active markets;
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rate and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates; and
Other inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market inputs.


27



Table of Contents
ORIGIN BANCORP, INC.
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant and unobservable in the market. These instruments are valued using the best information available, some of which is internally developed, and reflects the Company's own assumptions about the risk premiums that market participants would generally require and the assumptions they would use.
There were no transfers between fair value reporting levels for any period presented.
Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities Recorded on a Recurring Basis
The following tables summarize financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value. There were no changes in the valuation techniques during 2021 or 2020.

The Company obtains fair value measurements for loans at fair value, securities available for sale and securities at fair value through income from an independent pricing service, therefore, quantitative unobservable inputs are unknown.
The following methodologies were used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities valued on a recurring basis:
Securities Available for Sale
Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 inputs. For Level 2 securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security's terms and conditions, among other things. In order to ensure the fair values are consistent with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company periodically checks the fair value by comparing them to other pricing sources, such as Bloomberg LP. The third-party pricing service is subject to an annual review of internal controls in accordance with the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16, which was made available to the Company. In certain cases where Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.
Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs")
The carrying amounts of the MSRs equal fair value and are valued using a discounted cash flow valuation technique. The significant assumptions used to value MSRs were as follows:

__________________________
(1)The weighted average was calculated with reference to the principle balance of the underlying mortgages.
In recent years, there have been significant market-driven fluctuations in the assumptions listed above. Loans with higher average coupon rates have a greater likelihood of prepayment during the current interest rate environment, while loans with lower average coupon rates have a lower likelihood of prepayment. The increase in rates since the year ended December 31, 2020, has caused an decrease in our weighted average prepayment speed and an increase in our discount rate assumptions used in the MSR valuation. These fluctuations can be rapid and may continue to be significant. Therefore, estimating these assumptions within ranges that market participants would use in determining the fair value of MSRs requires significant management judgment.
Derivatives
Fair values for interest rate swap agreements are based upon the amounts that would be required to settle the contracts. Fair values for derivative loan commitments and forward loan sale commitments are based on fair values of the underlying mortgage loans and the probability of such commitments being exercised. Significant management judgment and estimation is required in determining these fair value measurements.

Fair Values of Assets Recorded on a Recurring Basis for which the Fair Value Option has been Elected
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis due to the Company's election to adopt fair value accounting treatment for those assets. This election allows for a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the assets and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. For assets for which the fair value has been elected, the earned current contractual interest payment is recognized in interest income, loan origination costs and fees on fair value option loans are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. At March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there were no gains or losses recorded attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk. The following tables summarize the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance for financial instruments for which the fair value option has been elected:

Securities at Fair Value through Income
Securities carried at fair value through income are valued using a discounted cash flow with a credit spread applied to each instrument based on the credit worthiness of each issuer. Credit spreads ranged from 83 to 227 basis points at both March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020. The Company believes the fair value approximates an exit price.
Loans Held for Sale
Fair values for loans held for sale are established using anticipated sale prices for loans allocated to a sale commitment, and those unallocated to a commitment are valued based on the interest rate and term for similar loans allocated. The Company believes the fair value approximates an exit price.
LHFI
For LHFI for which the fair value option has been elected, fair values are calculated using a discounted cash flow model with inputs including observable interest rate curves and unobservable credit adjustment spreads based on credit risk inherent in the loan. Credit spreads ranged from 290 to 353 basis points at March 31, 2021, and 290 to 413 basis points at December 31, 2020. The Company believes the fair value approximates an exit price.
Fair Value of Assets Recorded on a Nonrecurring Basis
Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Values
Equity securities without readily determinable fair values totaled $47.3 million and $62.6 million, at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are shown on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The majority of the Company's equity investments qualify for the practical expedient allowed for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, such that the Company has elected to carry these securities at cost adjusted for any observable transactions during the period, less any impairment. To date, no impairment has been recorded on the Company's investments in equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values.
Government National Mortgage Association Repurchase Asset
The Company recorded $62.2 million and $55.5 million, respectively, at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, for Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") repurchase assets included in mortgage loans held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. The assets are valued at the lower of cost or market and, where market is lower than cost, valued using anticipated sale prices for loans allocated to a sale commitment, and those unallocated to a commitment are valued based on the interest rate and term for similar loans allocated. The Company believes the fair value approximates an exit price. Please see Note 6 - Mortgage Banking for more information on the GNMA repurchase asset.
Collateral Dependent Loans with Credit Losses
Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured to determine if any credit loss exists. Allowable methods for determining the amount of credit loss includes estimating the fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. If the loan is identified as collateral-dependent, the fair value method of measuring the amount of credit loss is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value. Loans that have experienced a credit loss that are collateral-dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when the credit loss is determined using the fair value method. The fair value of loans that have experienced a credit loss with specific allocated losses was approximately $15.4 million and $12.3 million at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Non-Financial Assets
Foreclosed assets held for sale are the only non-financial assets valued on a non-recurring basis that are initially recorded by the Company at fair value, less estimated costs to sell. At foreclosure, if the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of the real estate acquired is less than the Company's recorded investment in the related loan, a write-down is recognized through a charge to the allowance for loan credit losses. Additionally, valuations are periodically performed by management and any subsequent reduction in value is recognized by a charge to income. The carrying value and fair value of foreclosed assets held for sale is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on observable market data and was $3.9 million and $1.6 million at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. At March 31, 2021, the Company had no residential mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value
Loans
The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk. The fair value of fixed-rate loans and variable-rate loans which reprice on an infrequent basis is estimated by discounting future cash flows using exit level pricing, which combines the current interest rates at which similar loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality and an estimated additional rate to reflect a liquidity premium. An overall valuation adjustment is made for specific credit risks as well as general portfolio credit risk.
Deposits
The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for demand deposits. The fair value of fixed-rate deposit liabilities with defined maturities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the interest rates currently available for funding from the FHLB. The estimated fair value of deposits does not take into account the value of our long-term relationships with depositors, commonly known as core deposit intangibles, which are separate intangible assets, and not considered financial instruments. Nonetheless, the Company would likely realize a core deposit premium if the deposit portfolio were sold in the principal market for such deposits.
Borrowed Funds
The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for short-term borrowings. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate and fixed-to-floating-rate borrowings is estimated using quoted market prices, if available, or by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar financial instruments. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for variable-rate junior subordinated debentures that reprice quarterly.

Balance at end of period$17,552 $16,122 
The Company receives annual servicing fee income approximating 0.28% of the outstanding balance of the underlying loans. In connection with the Company's activities as a servicer of mortgage loans, the investors and the securitization trusts have no recourse to the Company's assets for failure of debtors to pay when due.
The Company is potentially subject to losses in its loan servicing portfolio due to loan foreclosures. The Company has obligations to either repurchase the outstanding principal balance of a loan or make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of a loan if it is determined that the loan sold violated representations or warranties made by the Company and/or the borrower at the time of the sale, which the Company refers to as mortgage loan servicing putback expenses. Such representations and warranties typically include those made regarding loans that had missing or insufficient file documentation and/or loans obtained through fraud by borrowers or other third parties. Putback claims may be made until the loan is paid in full. When a putback claim is received, the Company evaluates the claim and takes appropriate actions based on the nature of the claim. The Company is required by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation to provide a response to putback claims within 60 days of the date of receipt.
The Company incurred $28,000 in mortgage loan servicing putback reserve expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserve for mortgage loan servicing putback expenses totaled $339,000 and $311,000, respectively. There is inherent uncertainty in reasonably estimating the requirement for reserves against future mortgage loan servicing putback expenses. Future putback expenses depend on many subjective factors, including the review procedures of the purchasers and the potential refinance activity on loans sold with servicing released and the subsequent consequences under the representations and warranties.

GNMA optional repurchase programs allow financial institutions to buy back individual delinquent mortgage loans that meet certain criteria from the securitized loan pool for which the institution provides servicing. At the servicer's option and without GNMA's prior authorization, the servicer may repurchase a delinquent loan for an amount equal to 100% of the remaining principal balance of the loan. This buy-back option is considered a conditional option until the delinquency criteria are met, at which time the option becomes unconditional. When a financial institution is deemed to have regained effective control over these loans under the unconditional buy-back option, the loans can no longer be reported as sold and must be included in the balance sheet as mortgage loans held for sale, regardless of whether the institution intends to exercise the buy-back option. These loans totaled $62.2 million and $55.5 million at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively, and were recorded as mortgage loans held for sale, at the lower of cost or fair value with a corresponding liability in FHLB advances and other borrowings on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage risks related to differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company's known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments, as well as to manage changes in fair values of some assets which are marked at fair value through the consolidated statement of income on a recurring basis.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company is a party to an interest rate swap agreement under which the Company receives interest at a variable rate and pays at a fixed rate. The derivative instrument represented by this swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge of the Company's forecasted variable cash flows under a variable-rate term borrowing agreement. During the term of the swap agreement, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the periods that the hedged forecasted variable-rate interest payments affected earnings. There was no ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative recognized directly in earnings. The entire swap fair value will be reclassified into earnings before the expiration date of the swap agreement.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Customer interest rate derivative program
The Company offers certain derivatives products, primarily interest rate swaps, directly to qualified commercial banking customers to facilitate their risk management strategies. In some instances, the Company acts only as an intermediary, simultaneously entering into offsetting agreements with unrelated financial institutions, thereby mitigating its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions without significantly impacting its results of operations. Because the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and any offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings as a component of noninterest income.
From time to time, the Company shares in credit risk on interest rate swap arrangements, by entering into risk participation agreements with syndication partners. These are accounted for at fair value and disclosed as risk participation derivatives.
Mortgage banking derivatives
The Company enters into certain derivative agreements as part of its mortgage banking and related risk management activities. These agreements include interest rate lock commitments on prospective residential mortgage loans and forward commitments to sell these loans to investors on a mandatory delivery basis. The Company also economically hedges the value of MSRs by entering into a series of commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities in the future.

Some interest rate swaps included in other assets were subject to a master netting arrangement with the counterparty in all years presented and could be offset against some amounts included in interest rate swaps included in other liabilities. The Company has chosen not to net these exposures in the consolidated balance sheets, and any impact of netting these amounts would not be significant.
At March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had cash collateral on deposit with swap counterparties totaling $12.8 million and $22.2 million, respectively. These amounts are included in interest-bearing deposits in banks in the consolidated balance sheets and are considered restricted cash until such time as the underlying swaps are settled.
Note 9 - Stock and Incentive Compensation Plans
The Company has granted, and currently has outstanding, stock and incentive compensation awards subject to the provisions of the Company's 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"). Additionally, awards have been issued prior to the establishment of the 2012 Plan, some of which were still outstanding at March 31, 2021. The 2012 Plan is designed to provide flexibility to the Company regarding its ability to motivate, attract and retain the services of key officers, employees and directors. The 2012 Plan allows the Company to make grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, performance unit awards or any combination thereof. At March 31, 2021, the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock available for issuance under the 2012 Plan was 915,819 shares.

Stock Option Grants
The Company issues common stock options to select officers and employees through individual agreements and as a result of obligations assumed in association with certain business combinations. As a result, both incentive and nonqualified stock options have been issued and may be issued in the future. The exercise price of each option varies by agreement and is based on either the fair value of the stock at the date of the grant in circumstances where option grants occurred or based on the previously committed exercise price in the case of options acquired through merger. No outstanding stock option has a term that exceeds twenty years, and all of the outstanding options are fully vested. The Company recognizes compensation cost for stock option grants over the required service period based upon the grant date fair-value, which is established using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes valuation model uses assumptions of risk-free interest rate, expected term of stock options, expected stock price volatility and expected dividends. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Note 11 - Capital and Regulatory Matters
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
The Company is subject to the Basel III regulatory capital framework ("Basel III Capital Rules"), which includes a 2.5% capital conservation buffer effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and requires increased capital levels for the purpose of capital distributions and other payments. Failure to meet the full amount of the buffer will result in restrictions on the Company's ability to make capital distributions, which includes dividend payments and stock repurchases and to pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total, common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital, and total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject, including the capital buffer requirement.
At March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Bank's capital ratios exceeded those levels necessary to be categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized," the Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 risk based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. A final rule adopted by the federal banking agencies in February 2019 provides banking organizations with the option to phase in, over a three-year period, the adverse day-one regulatory capital effects of the adoption of CECL. In addition, on March 27, 2020, the federal banking agencies issued an interim final rule that gives banking organizations that implement CECL before the end of 2020 the option to delay for two years CECL’s adverse effects on regulatory capital. Origin elected to adopt CECL in the first quarter of 2020 and exercised the option to delay the estimated impact of the adoption of CECL on our regulatory capital for two years (from January 2020 through December 31, 2021), which resulted in a 19 basis point benefit to the common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets capital ratio at December 31, 2020. The two-year delay will be followed by the three-year transition period of CECL's initial impact on our regulatory capital (from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024).

In the ordinary course of business, the Company depends on dividends from the Bank to provide funds for the payment of dividends to stockholders and to provide for other cash requirements. Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid. Approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels. Approval is also required if dividends declared and paid exceed the Bank's year-to-date net income combined with the retained net income for the preceding year, which was $43.4 million at March 31, 2021.
Stock Repurchases
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company repurchased a total of 37,568 shares of its common stock pursuant to its stock buyback program at an average price per share of $33.42, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 million. Prior to 2021, the Company had cumulatively repurchased an aggregate 330,868 common stock shares for a total purchase price of $10.8 million under the stock buyback program. As of March 31, 2021, the Company's board of directors has approved approximately $28.0 million remaining to be purchased under the program.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies
Credit Related Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into financial instruments, such as commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, to meet the financing needs of its customers. Such instruments are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements until they are funded, although they expose the Company to varying degrees of credit risk and interest rate risk in much the same way as funded loans.
Commitments to extend credit include revolving commercial credit lines, nonrevolving loan commitments issued mainly to finance the acquisition and development or construction of real property or equipment, and credit card and personal credit lines. The availability of funds under commercial credit lines and loan commitments generally depends on whether the borrower continues to meet credit standards established in the underlying contract and has not violated other contractual conditions. Loan commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the borrower. Credit card and personal credit lines are generally subject to cancellation if the borrower's credit quality deteriorates. A number of commercial and personal credit lines are used only partially or, in some cases, not at all before they expire, and the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Company.
A substantial majority of the letters of credit are standby agreements that obligate the Company to fulfill a customer's financial commitments to a third party if the customer is unable to perform. The Company issues standby letters of credit primarily to provide credit enhancement to its customers' other commercial or public financing arrangements and to help them demonstrate financial capacity to vendors of essential goods and services.
The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the Company's exposure to credit risk. The Company undertakes the same credit evaluation in making loan commitments and assuming conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments and may require collateral or other credit support. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are summarized below:
(Dollars in thousands)March 31, 2021December 31, 2020
Commitments to extend credit$1,390,528 $1,341,501 
Standby letters of credit48,967 42,911 
In addition to the above, the Company guarantees the credit card debt of certain customers to the merchant bank that issues the credit cards. These guarantees are in place for as long as the guaranteed credit card is open. At March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, these credit card guarantees totaled $205,000 and $200,000, respectively. This amount represents the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee for which the Company would be responsible in the event of customer non-payment.
At March 31, 2021, the Company held 37 unfunded letters of credit from the FHLB totaling $590.9 million with expiration dates ranging from April 20, 2021, to March 22, 2023. At December 31, 2020, the Company held 35 unfunded letters of credit from the FHLB totaling $527.4 million with expiration dates ranging from January 20, 2021, to November 4, 2022.
Management establishes an asset-specific allowance for certain lending-related commitments and computes a formula-based allowance for performing consumer and commercial lending-related commitments. These are computed using a methodology similar to that used for the commercial loan portfolio, modified for expected maturities and probabilities of drawdown. The reserve for lending-related commitments was $2.4 million and $2.3 million at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Loss Contingencies
From time to time the Company is also party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. At this time, management does not expect that loss contingencies, if any, arising from any such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Company.

All references to "Origin Bank" or "the Bank" refer to Origin Bank, our wholly owned bank subsidiary.
The following discussion and analysis presents our financial condition and results of operations on a consolidated basis. However, we conduct all of our material business operations through our wholly owned bank subsidiary, Origin Bank, and the discussion and analysis that follows primarily relates to activities conducted at the Bank level.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related condensed notes contained in Item 1 of this report. To the extent that this discussion describes prior performance, the descriptions relate only to the periods listed, which may not be indicative of our future financial outcomes. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause results to differ materially from management's expectations. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections titled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Form 10-K. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward looking statements.
General
We are a financial holding company headquartered in Ruston, Louisiana. Origin's wholly owned bank subsidiary, Origin Bank, was founded in 1912. Deeply rooted in Origin's history is a culture committed to providing personalized, relationship banking to its clients and communities. Origin provides a broad range of financial services to businesses, municipalities, high net-worth individuals and retail clients. Origin currently operates 44 banking centers located from Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston, Texas across North Louisiana into Mississippi. As a financial holding company operating through one segment, we generate the majority of our revenue from interest earned on loans and investments, service charges and fees on deposit accounts.
We incur interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds and noninterest expense, such as salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses. We analyze our ability to maximize income generated from interest-earning assets and minimize expense of our liabilities through our net interest margin. Net interest margin is a ratio calculated as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans, securities and interest-bearing cash, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Net interest spread is the average yield on interest-earning assets minus the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities.
Changes in market interest rates and the interest rates we earn on interest-earning assets or pay on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as in the volume and types of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing liabilities and stockholders' equity, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income.
2021 First Quarter Highlights
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, was $25.5 million, a historic quarterly high compared to $753,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings ("PTPP")(1) also hit a historic high of $32.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $18.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
The fully tax-equivalent net interest margin ("NIM") was 3.22% for the current quarter, compared to 3.44% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Provision for credit losses was $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to provision expense of $18.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Total LHFI was $5.85 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $125.0 million, or 2.2%, from December 31, 2020. LHFI growth, excluding PPP loans, increased $87.4 million, or 1.7%, compared to December 31, 2020.

Recent Developments and Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the governmental and societal response to the virus have negatively impacted overall economic conditions, which resulted in the shuttering of businesses and significant job loss during 2020. In recent months, a number of restrictive government initiatives designed to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been eased on a national level and specifically in the Company's markets of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, allowing businesses to reopen at varying capacity levels, which has bolstered commercial activity to some degree. At the end of 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved the first two COVID-19 vaccines, and in February 2021, approved a third COVID-19 vaccine, for deployment and distribution in the United States. Since such time, many American adults have been vaccinated against the virus. However, the risk of a resurgence in infections and possible reimplementation of new or additional restrictions at the national and local level to combat the COVID-19 pandemic remains present. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic remain impossible to predict. As the trend in the number of COVID-19 cases continues to fluctuate nationally, the potential exists for further resurgences to occur.
We have continued to meet our customers' needs while keeping the safety and well-being of our employees and customers as our top priority. While we allowed restricted access to our offices and branches during the height of the pandemic, our offices and branches have fully opened as of March 15, 2021. We continue to maintain social distancing measures for our employees, including the requirement to wear face masks unless working in an office or other location that permits social distancing. We have continued to follow enhanced sanitation protocols and also continue to encourage our employees to wash their hands thoroughly and frequently and to sanitize work areas when necessary to promote the safety and health of our employees and customers. Thermal kiosks for temperature checks are in use at the entrance of each location and customers are encouraged to wear face masks when entering Origin bank facilities. The Company continues to provide pandemic paid time off to employees and a dedicated hotline is available to quickly assist employees with any COVID-19 related questions or issues.
Beginning in early 2020, we proactively offered a range of policies and programs to accommodate customer hardship across our business in conjunction with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “PPP/HCE Act”), which were intended to provide emergency relief to several groups and individuals impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We established a SBA Paycheck Protection Program task force and we continue to approve loans under this program as a result of the CARES Act. We also offered forbearance (90 day extensions) and modification agreements to our customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily during 2020. We continue to track pandemic impacted relationships and general economic conditions in our markets.
Due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental efforts to contain it, we believe that certain business sectors of the U.S. economy may be more affected than others. Some of the sectors in which we operate that may experience a more significant impact include hotel, non-essential retail, restaurant and assisted living. Excluding PPP loans, at March 31, 2021, we had $510.5 million, or 9.7%, of our LHFI invested in these sectors. The allowance for loan credit losses on these sectors was $13.0 million at March 31, 2021, and the allowance for loan credit losses on COVID-19-impacted sectors to total LHFI in these sectors was 2.55%. Nonperforming LHFI in these key sectors impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic was $1.1 million at March 31, 2021, while past due LHFI, defined as loans 30 days or more past due, as a percentage of LHFI, excluding PPP loans, in these key sectors impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, was 0.2% at March 31, 2021.
Our allowance for loan credit losses as a percentage of total LHFI was 1.46% at March 31, 2021, compared to 1.51% and 1.25% at December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, respectively, primarily due to the deterioration in macroeconomic variables related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
See "Item 1A - Risk Factors" for additional information regarding risks and significant uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $55.2 million, an increase of $12.4 million over the three months ended March 31, 2020. The improvement was due to increases of $6.4 million and $6.1 million in interest income from mortgage warehouse lines of credit, and PPP loans, respectively, and a $6.5 million decrease in interest expense on deposits. These increases were offset by a $5.9 million decrease in the total interest earned on the LHFI portfolio, excluding mortgage warehouse loans and PPP loans, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The $6.4 million increase in interest income on mortgage warehouse lines of credit for the three months ended March 31, 2021, over the three months ended March 31, 2020, was due to higher mortgage activity driven by the low interest rate environment, coupled with additional mortgage warehouse clients being onboarded during the intervening period leading to higher average balances during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $5.9 million decrease in interest income earned on LHFI portfolio, excluding mortgage warehouse loans and PPP loans, was primarily due to the impact of lower interest rates. The increase in interest income on PPP loans was entirely due to higher balances as we did not fund any PPP loans during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Deposit interest expense decreased to $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $10.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, due to the reduction in deposit rates between the two periods. The average rate on savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts was 0.26% for the current period, down from 1.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, accounting for $6.9 million of the decrease in interest expense from the three months ended March 31, 2020. The average rate on time deposits decreased to 0.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, down from 1.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, providing an additional decrease of $1.7 million in interest expense. These rate-driven interest expense declines were offset by a $2.8 million increase in interest expense due to an increase in the average balances of savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2021, to the same period in 2020.
The net interest margin was 3.22% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a 22 basis point decrease from the three months ended March 31, 2020. The yield earned on interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was 3.58%, a 79 basis point decrease from 4.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was partially offset by the decrease in interest rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. The rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was 0.57%, representing a decrease of 80 basis points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The margin compression we experienced since the three months ended March 31, 2020, was primarily caused by decreasing loan yields driven by declining short-term interest rates over the last several quarters. The results for the first quarter of 2021 have improved from the quarterly results achieved during 2020, due primarily to the acceleration of PPP fees accreted into earnings, but as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook and concern that there may be a resurgence of COVID-19, the current low interest rate environment may continue to put pressure on our net interest margin due to both maturing assets and floating rate assets potentially repricing at lower rates.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following tables present the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and those due to changes in interest rates. The change in interest attributable to rate changes has been determined by applying the change in rate between periods to average balances outstanding in the earlier period. The change in interest due to volume has been determined by applying the rate from the earlier period to the change in average balances outstanding between periods. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume that cannot be segregated, including the difference in day count, have been allocated to rate.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses, which includes the provisions for loan losses, off-balance sheet commitments and security credit losses, is based on management's assessment of the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for loans, securities and our reserve for off-balance sheet lending commitments. Factors impacting the provision include inherent risk characteristics in our loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs, both current and historic, local economic and credit conditions, the direction of the change in collateral values, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the funding probability on unfunded lending commitments. The provision for credit losses is charged against earnings in order to maintain our ACL, which reflects management's best estimate of life of loan credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio at the balance sheet date, and our reserve for off-balance sheet lending commitments, which reflects management's best estimate of losses inherent in our legally binding lending-related commitments. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan credit losses and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

We recorded provision expense of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $17.1 million from $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease in provision expense reflects an improvement in forecasted economic conditions compared to worsening forecasted economic conditions at March 31, 2020. Net charge-offs were $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to six commercial and industrial loans, reflecting four loan relationships, that were written down during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, totaling $2.8 million.
On January 1, 2020, we adopted CECL and recognized a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan credit losses of $1.2 million. CECL requires recording life-of-loan projected losses in the loan portfolio based on reasonable and supportable forecasts and related loan portfolio credit performance. At adoption on January 1, 2020, the economic effects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic were unknown. As such, the economic scenario used to develop our estimate of CECL as of the adoption date assumed a continued moderate U.S. economic expansion compared to 2019. The prior accounting standard recorded reserves based on probable losses at the balance sheet date, generally resulting in lower reserve levels at the outset of an economic downturn.
Pursuant to rules of the federal banking agencies, we have elected to use a two-year delay of CECL’s impact on our regulatory capital (from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021) followed by a three-year transition period of CECL’s initial impact on our regulatory capital (from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024).
Our provision expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was reduced from the amounts we recorded in each of the four individual quarters in 2020, which were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook. Economic events during 2020 shaped the forecast we used in our calculation of the CECL estimate at March 31, 2020, and caused us to significantly increase our allowance for loan credit losses during the period. While there are improvements in economic forecasts, uncertainty remains particularly related to the first half of 2021 and the deployment and effectiveness of a vaccine.
We continue to gather the latest information available, and as more information becomes available concerning the economic impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will update our forecast and related qualitative factors, which could lead to further increases to our allowance for loan credit losses.

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, increased by $5.0 million, or 41.1%, to $17.1 million, compared to $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was largely driven by increases of $2.2 million, $1.8 million, and $1.6 million in limited partnership investment income, mortgage banking revenue, and gains on sales of securities, net. The increases were partially offset by a decrease of $707,000 in other income.
Limited partnership investment income. The $2.2 million increase in the limited partnership investment income during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to valuation increases as a result of investment performance in two limited partnership funds.
Mortgage banking revenue. The $1.8 million increase in mortgage banking revenue compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, was primarily driven by an increase in the MSR valuation of $7.2 million and a $5.1 million increase in gain on sales of loans held for sale due to higher volumes of purchases and refinance activity between the two quarters driven by falling interest rates, offset by a decrease in the impact of the MSR hedge of $6.0 million and a $4.4 million decrease in mortgage held for sale and pipeline fair value adjustment. After the historic purchase and re-finance market that we experienced in 2020, we expect refinance activity to decrease in 2021 which could reduce our mortgage banking revenue from the 2020 historically high levels.
Gain on sales of securities, net. The $1.6 million increase in gain on sales of securities, net, was the result of the movement out of positions in lower yielding securities. We used the funds generated from the sale of the securities to prepay relatively high-cost FHLB advances.
Other income. The $707,000 decrease in other income compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, included a $351,000 decrease in bank owned life insurance income driven by a death benefit payout to us that exceeded cash surrender value by $316,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which did not recur in the current quarter. Additionally, the valuation-related changes in the fair value option loans and securities and related interest rate swaps we carry on our balance sheet are recorded through other income. The net impact of valuation changes for these items was a negative $229,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to a positive $210,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, causing a decrease in income from these items of $439,000 in the comparative periods.

Total noninterest expense$39,436 $36,097 $3,339 9.3 
Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021, increased by $3.3 million, or 9.3%, to $39.4 million, primarily due to increases of $1.8 million, $563,000, $555,000, and $337,000 in other expenses, loan related expenses, regulatory assessments, and salaries and employee benefits expenses.
Other. The increase in other noninterest expense was due to prepayment fees of $1.6 million incurred related to the early termination of long-term FHLB advances during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. We terminated the advances early due to the relatively high cost of the funding and offset prepayment fees with gains on the sale of underperforming investment securities as referenced under "Gain on sales of securities, net" above.
Loan related expenses. The increase in loan related expenses was primarily driven by a $252,000 increase in the loan related legal fees, which was primarily due to the significant increase in our total loan portfolio during the last 12 months.
Regulatory assessments. The $555,000 increase in regulatory assessments was primarily due to the significant growth in our assets during the last 12 months.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized income tax expense of $6.0 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $427,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was 19.1%, compared to negative 131.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily due to the increase in our pre-tax income compared to 2020, which made the proportional effect of the tax-exempt items larger on the effective income tax rate.
Our quarterly provision for income taxes has historically been calculated using the AETR method, which applies an estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income or loss. However, we recorded our interim income tax provision using the actual effective tax rate as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, as allowed under ASC 740-270, Accounting for Income Taxes - Interim Reporting. We utilized the actual effective rate to record tax expense, rather than the AETR method, as a reliable estimate of ordinary income. Significant permanent items are not able to be made at this time, primarily driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, which results in significant variations in income tax expense and would have resulted in a disproportionate and unreliable effective tax rate under the AETR method. We determined current and deferred income tax expense as if the interim period were an annual period.


49



Table of Contents
Our effective income tax rates have differed from the applicable U.S. statutory rates of 21% at March 31, 2021 and 2020, due to the effect of tax-exempt income from securities, low income housing and qualified school construction bond tax credits, tax-exempt income from life insurance policies and income tax effects associated with stock-based compensation. Because of these items, we expect our effective income tax rate to continue to remain below the applicable U.S. statutory rate. These tax-exempt items can have a larger than proportional effect on the effective income tax rate as net income decreases. Any increases to the statutory tax rate would increase income taxes in the future.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020
General
Total assets decreased by $65.1 million, or 0.9%, to $7.56 billion at March 31, 2021, from $7.63 billion at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to $112.3 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $46.6 million decrease in loans held for sale, offset by a $125.0 million increase in LHFI.
Loan Portfolio
Our loan portfolio is our largest category of interest-earning assets and interest income earned on our loan portfolio is our primary source of income. At March 31, 2021, 74.8% of the loan portfolio held for investment was comprised of commercial and industrial loans, including PPP loans, mortgage warehouse lines of credit and commercial real estate loans, which were primarily originated within our market areas of Texas, North Louisiana, and Mississippi.

___________________________
(1)Includes $13.6 million and $17.0 million of commercial real estate loans for which the fair value option was elected at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
At March 31, 2021, total LHFI were $5.85 billion, an increase of $125.0 million, or 2.2%, compared to $5.72 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase reflected growth in all significant loan categories except for commercial and industrial loans. The largest increases are primarily reflected in commercial real estate and PPP loans, which increased $66.7 million and $37.6 million, respectively. Our lending focus is on operating companies, including commercial loans and lines of credit as well as owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. We currently do not plan to significantly alter the real estate concentrations within our loan portfolio, however, we believe the volume within our mortgage warehouse lines of credit portfolio will decline over the next year.
Under the CARES Act, Congress allocated funds to the PPP, which is designed to provide short-term loans to certain qualifying businesses who retain employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. These loans, totaling $584.1 million for the Company at March 31, 2021, have a maximum maturity of five years, bear a fixed rate of interest at one percent for the entire term, and we anticipate many of them will be forgiven by the Small Business Administration under the terms of the PPP before their respective maturity dates. As of March 31, 2021, $160.4 million of Origin Bank originated PPP loans have been forgiven under this program.

Loan Portfolio COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on the U.S. economy which has led to severe unemployment and a recession. In recent months, a number of restrictive government initiatives designed to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been eased, allowing businesses to reopen at varying capacity levels, which has bolstered commercial activity to some degree. While it appears the negative effects of the pandemic have eased, there is still much uncertainty surrounding the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may include the possible implementation of new or additional restrictions on economic activity. The deteriorating economic outlook caused us to significantly increase our allowance for loan credit losses during 2020, resulting in additional provision expense and reduced earnings during the period. Due to the ongoing economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental efforts to contain it, certain sectors of the U.S. economy were more affected than others. Some of the sectors in which we operate that appear to have experienced a more significant impact include hotel, non-essential retail, restaurant and assisted living. At March 31, 2021, we had $510.5 million, or 9.7%, of our LHFI, excluding PPP loans, invested in these sectors. Nonperforming LHFI in the sectors impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic was $1.1 million at March 31, 2021, while past due LHFI, defined as loans 30 days or more past due, as a percentage of LHFI in these sectors, excluding PPP loans, was 0.2% at March 31, 2021. Loans in COVID-19 related forbearance totaled $5.3 million and represented 0.1% of LHFI, excluding PPP loans, at March 31, 2021.
Certain key data regarding the sectors that may experience a more significant impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic at March 31, 2021, is reflected in the table below. The information presented excludes PPP loans.

Table of Contents
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and property acquired through foreclosures or repossession, as well as bank-owned property not currently in use and listed for sale.
Loans are considered past due when principal and interest payments have not been received at the date such payments are contractually due. We discontinue accruing interest on loans when we determine the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest and principal payments in accordance with the terms of the loan are not reasonably assured. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status even if the contractual payments are not past due if information becomes available that causes substantial doubt about the borrower's ability to meet the contractual obligations of the loan. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal outstanding. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. If a loan is determined by management to be uncollectible, regardless of size, the portion of the loan determined to be uncollectible is then charged to the allowance for loan credit losses.
We manage the quality of our lending portfolio in part through a disciplined underwriting policy and through continual monitoring of loan performance and borrowers' financial condition. There can be no assurance, however, that our loan portfolio will not become subject to losses due to declines in economic conditions or deterioration in the financial condition of our borrowers.
Although we have seen an impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, the ultimate impact is still unknown. The ongoing economic uncertainty, possibility of additional governmental restrictions on economic activity and relatively high unemployment rate has created conditions that could cause an increase in nonperforming loans in future periods.

At March 31, 2021, total nonperforming LHFI increased by $7.2 million, or 27.6%, from December 31, 2020. The increase in nonperforming commercial and industrial loans at March 31, 2021, is primarily due to one loan for $7.1 million that was not considered nonperforming at December 31, 2020. The increase in nonperforming residential real estate loans is primarily due to two loans totaling $4.5 million that were not considered nonperforming at December 31, 2020. Please see Note 4 - Loans within our condensed notes to our consolidated financial statements for more information on nonperforming loans.
Potential Problem Loans
From a credit risk standpoint, we classify loans using risk grades which fall into one of five categories: pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. The classifications of loans reflect a judgment about the risks of default and loss associated with the loan. We review the ratings on loans and adjust them to reflect the degree of risk and loss that is felt to be inherent or expected in each loan.
Information regarding the internal risk ratings of our loans at March 31, 2021, is included in Note 4 - Loans in the condensed notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted CECL resulting in a change to the Company's reporting of credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. Please see Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K filed with the SEC for a description of policy revisions resulting from the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-13.

Table of Contents
The allowance for loan credit losses represents the estimated losses for loans accounted for on an amortized cost basis. Expected losses are calculated using relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company evaluates LHFI on a pool basis with pools of loans characterized by loan type, collateral, industry, internal credit risk rating and FICO score. The Company applied a probability of default, loss given default loss methodology to the loan pools at March 31, 2021. Historical loss rates for each pool are calculated based on charge-off and recovery data beginning with the second quarter of 2012. These loss rates are adjusted for differences between current period conditions, including the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on the U.S. economy, and the conditions existing during the historical loss period. Historical losses are additionally adjusted for the effects of certain economic variables forecast over a one-year period. Subsequent to the forecast effects, historical loss rates are used to estimate losses over the estimated remaining lives of the loans. The estimated remaining lives consist of the contractual lives, adjusted for estimated prepayments. Loans that exhibit characteristics different from their pool characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Certain of these loans are considered to be collateral dependent with the borrower experiencing financial difficulty. For these loans, the fair value of collateral practical expedient is elected whereby the allowance is calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost exceeds the fair value of collateral, less costs to sell (if applicable). Those individual loans that are not collateral dependent are evaluated based on a discounted cash flow methodology.
The amount of the allowance for loan credit losses is affected by loan charge-offs, which decrease the allowance, recoveries on loans previously charged off, which increase the allowance, as well as the provision for loan credit losses charged to income, which increases the allowance. In determining the provision for loan credit losses, management monitors fluctuations in the allowance resulting from actual charge-offs and recoveries and periodically reviews the size and composition of the loan portfolio in light of current and forecasted economic conditions. If actual losses exceed the amount of the allowance for loan credit losses, it would materially and adversely affect our earnings.
As a general rule, when it becomes evident that the full principal and accrued interest of a loan may not be collected, or at 90 days past due, we will reflect that loan as nonperforming. It will remain nonperforming until it performs in a manner that it is reasonable to expect that we will collect principal and accrued interest in full. When the amount or likelihood of a loss on a loan has been confirmed, a charge-off will be taken in the period it is determined.
We establish general allocations for each major loan category and credit quality. The general allocation is based, in part, on historical charge-off experience and loss given default methodology, derived from our internal risk rating process. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data. We give consideration to trends, changes in loan mix, delinquencies, prior losses, reasonable and supportable forecasts and other related information.
In connection with the review of our loan portfolio, we consider risk elements attributable to particular loan types or categories in assessing the quality of individual loans. Some of the risk elements we consider include:
for commercial real estate loans, the debt service coverage ratio, operating results of the owner in the case of owner occupied properties, the loan to value ratio, the age and condition of the collateral and the volatility of income, property value and future operating results typical of properties of that type;
for construction, land and land development loans, the perceived feasibility of the project, including the ability to sell developed lots or improvements constructed for resale or the ability to lease property constructed for lease, the quality and nature of contracts for presale or prelease, if any, experience and ability of the developer and loan to value ratio;
for residential mortgage loans, the borrower's ability to repay the loan, including a consideration of the debt to income ratio and employment and income stability, the loan-to-value ratio, and the age, condition and marketability of the collateral; and
for commercial and industrial loans, the debt service coverage ratio (income from the business in excess of operating expenses compared to loan repayment requirements), the operating results of the commercial, industrial or professional enterprise, the borrower's business, professional and financial ability and expertise, the specific risks and volatility of income and operating results typical for businesses in that category and the value, nature and marketability of collateral.

Securities
Our securities portfolio totaled $1.03 billion at March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $25.2 million, or 2.4%, from $1.05 billion at December 31, 2020. The decrease was the result of the sales of lower-yielding securities, as well as decline in value of available for sale securities during the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to rising long-term interest rates. For additional information regarding our securities portfolio, please see Note 3 - Securities in the condensed notes to our consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Deposits
Deposits are the primary funding source used to fund our loans, investments and operating needs. We offer a variety of products designed to attract and retain both consumer and commercial deposit customers. These products consist of noninterest and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings deposits, money market accounts and time deposits. Deposits are primarily gathered from individuals, partnerships and corporations in our market areas. We also obtain deposits from local municipalities and state agencies.
We manage our interest expense on deposits through specific deposit product pricing that is based on competitive pricing, economic conditions and current and anticipated funding needs. We may use interest rates as a mechanism to attract or deter additional deposits based on our anticipated funding needs and liquidity position. We also consider potential interest rate risk caused by extended maturities of time deposits when setting the interest rates in periods of future economic uncertainty.

Our average deposit balance was $5.87 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.55 billion, or 35.7%, from $4.32 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The average annualized rate paid on our interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was 0.37%, compared to 1.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in the average cost of our deposits was primarily the result of steadily falling interest rates that occurred since March 31, 2020. The Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds target rate twice during March 2020, resulting in an aggregate 150 basis point decrease in the target rate, which was not fully absorbed by the markets until later in 2020, though the reduction occurred in March 2020. When the target rate reductions began, we took action to lower deposit rates on nonmaturity deposits. Our Louisiana market deposits also increased $556.5 million compared to March 31, 2020, which historically carry lower cost of deposits than those in Texas, helping to lower our overall cost of deposits.
Average noninterest-bearing deposits at March 31, 2021, were $1.70 billion, compared to $1.10 billion at March 31, 2020, an increase of $602.9 million, or 54.9%, and represented 29.0% and 25.4% of average total deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Borrowings
During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we increased our average outstanding short-term FHLB advances to $278.1 million from $64.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Period end short-term FHLB advances decreased $650.0 million at March 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020, due to increases in deposits which were used to pay down the advances. Additionally, using funds generated from the sale of investment securities during the quarter, we prepaid $13.1 million in long-term FHLB advances during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and incurred related prepayment fees of $1.6 million. Shifts in funding costs and sources and the movement out of lower-yielding investment positions drove the changes in our FHLB balances during the period, as we supported the ongoing mortgage warehouse loan growth.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Management oversees our liquidity position to ensure adequate cash and liquid assets are available to support our operations and satisfy current and future financial obligations, including demand for loan funding and deposit withdrawals. Management continually monitors, forecasts and tests our liquidity and non-core dependency ratios to ensure compliance with targets established by our Asset-Liability Management Committee and approved by our board of directors.
Management measures our liquidity position by giving consideration to both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet sources of, and demands for, funds on a daily and weekly basis.
The Company, which is a separate legal entity apart from the Bank, must provide for its own liquidity, including payment of any dividends that may be declared for its common stockholders and interest and principal on any outstanding debt or trust preferred securities incurred by the Company. The cash held at the holding Company is available for general corporate purposes described above, as well as providing capital support to the Bank. In addition, the Company has up to $50.0 million available under a line of credit.

COVID -19
As previously discussed, in light of the volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative impact on the economy, we took a number of precautionary actions to enhance our financial flexibility by bolstering our liquidity to ensure we have adequate cash readily available to meet both expected and unexpected funding needs. We have accessed and repaid liquidity both under the PPPLF and FHLB advance window during mid-2020, and currently have access to $3.69 billion of contingent liquidity sources including FHLB availability. We believe we currently have sufficient liquidity from the available on- and off-balance sheet liquidity sources. We continue to review actions that we may take to further enhance our financial flexibility in the event that market conditions change.
Liquidity Sources
In addition to cash generated from operations, we utilize a number of funding sources to manage our liquidity, including core deposits, investment securities, cash and cash equivalents, loan repayments, federal funds lines of credit available from other financial institutions, as well as advances from the FHLB. We may also use the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") as a source of short-term funding.
Core deposits, which are total deposits excluding time deposits greater than $250,000 and brokered deposits, are a major source of funds used to meet our cash flow needs. Maintaining the ability to acquire these funds as needed in a variety of markets is the key to assuring our liquidity.
Our investment portfolio is another source for meeting our liquidity needs. Monthly payments on mortgage-backed securities are used for short-term liquidity, and our investments are generally traded in active markets that offer a readily available source of cash liquidity through sales, if needed. Securities in our investment portfolio are also used to secure certain deposit types, such as deposits from state and local municipalities, and can be pledged as collateral for other borrowing sources.
Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include long- and short-term advances from the FHLB, and unsecured federal funds lines of credit. Long-term funds obtained from the FHLB are primarily used as an alternative source to fund long-term growth of the balance sheet by supporting growth in loans and other long-term interest-earning assets. We typically rely on such funding when the cost of such borrowings compares favorably to the rates that we would be required to pay for other funding sources, including certain deposits.
We also had unsecured federal funds lines of credit available to us, with no amounts outstanding at either March 31, 2021, or December 31, 2020. These lines of credit primarily provide short-term liquidity and in order to ensure the availability of these funds, we test these lines of credit at least annually. Interest is charged at the prevailing market rate on federal funds purchased and FHLB advances.
Additionally, we had the ability to borrow at the discount window of the FRB using our commercial and industrial loans as collateral. There were no borrowings against this line at March 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of business as a financial services provider, we enter into financial instruments, such as certain contractual obligations and commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, to meet the financing needs of our customers. These commitments involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Some instruments may not be reflected in our consolidated financial statements until they are funded, and a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn, although they expose us to varying degrees of credit risk and interest rate risk in much the same way as funded loans.

(1)These commitments represent amounts we are obligated to contribute to various limited partnership investments in accordance with the provisions of the respective limited partnership agreements. The capital contributions may be required at any time, and are therefore reflected in the Less than One Year category.
Credit Related Commitments
Commitments to extend credit include revolving commercial credit lines, non-revolving loan commitments issued mainly to finance the acquisition and development or construction of real property or equipment, and credit card and personal credit lines. The availability of funds under commercial credit lines and loan commitments generally depends on whether the borrower continues to meet credit standards established in the underlying contract and has not violated other contractual conditions. Loan commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the borrower. Credit card and personal credit lines are generally subject to cancellation if the borrower's credit quality deteriorates. A number of commercial and personal credit lines are used only partially or, in some cases, not at all before they expire, and the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
A substantial majority of the letters of credit are standby agreements that obligate us to fulfill a customer's financial commitments to a third party if the customer is unable to perform. We issue standby letters of credit primarily to provide credit enhancement to our customers' other commercial or public financing arrangements and to help them demonstrate financial capacity to vendors of essential goods and services.

Stock Repurchases
In July 2019, our board of directors authorized a stock buyback program pursuant to which we may, from time to time, purchase up to $40 million of our outstanding common stock. The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time, depending upon market conditions and other factors, and in accordance with applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The stock buyback program is intended to expire in 2022, but may be terminated or amended by our board of directors at any time. The stock buyback program does not obligate us to purchase any shares at any time.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company repurchased a total of 37,568 shares of its common stock pursuant to its stock buyback program at an average price per share of $33.42, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 million. Prior to 2021, the Company had cumulatively repurchased an aggregate 330,868 common stock shares for a total purchase price of $10.8 million under the stock buyback program. As of March 31, 2021, the Company's board of directors has approved approximately $28.0 million remaining to be purchased under the program.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
Together with the Bank, we are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. These requirements are discussed in greater detail in "Item 1. Business - Regulation and Supervision" included in our 2020 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC for further information. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements may result in certain actions by regulators that, if enforced, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. At March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we and the Bank were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and the Bank was classified as "well capitalized" for purposes of the prompt corrective action regulations of the Federal Reserve. As we deploy capital and continue to grow operations, regulatory capital levels may decrease depending on the level of earnings. However, we expect to monitor and control growth in order to remain "well capitalized" under applicable regulatory guidelines and in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital standards. While we are currently classified as well capitalized, an extended economic recession could adversely impact our reported and regulatory capital ratios.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, we provided other financial measures, such as pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, in this report that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures.” Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We consider pre-tax, pre-provision earnings as presented in this report as an important measure of financial performance as it provides supplemental information that we use to evaluate our business, to assess underlying operational performance and to allow a comparison to prior periods without the impact of increases in the allowance for credit losses, and related income tax effects, associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We believe non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and capital strength. We use, and believe that investors benefit from referring to, non-GAAP measures in assessing our operating results and related trends. However, non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the following table, we have provided a reconciliation of pre-tax, pre-provision earnings to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk
As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our financial management policy provides management with guidelines for effective funds management and we have established a measurement system for monitoring the net interest rate sensitivity position.
Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.
We manage exposure to interest rates by structuring the balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, from time to time we enter into derivatives and futures contracts to mitigate interest rate risk from specific transactions. Based upon the nature of operations, we are not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. We have entered into interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk in limited circumstances, but it is not our policy to enter into such transactions on a regular basis.
Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Bank's Asset-Liability Management Committee in accordance with policies approved by the Bank's board of directors. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on earnings and capital of the current outlook on interest rates, potential changes in interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors.
The committee meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits and consumer and commercial deposit activity. We employ methodologies to manage interest rate risk which include an analysis of relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and an interest rate shock simulation model.
We use interest rate risk simulation models and shock analyses to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and fair value of equity, and the impact of changes in interest rates on other financial metrics. Contractual maturities and re-pricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the model as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data and call options within the investment portfolio. The average life of non-maturity deposit accounts is based on our balance retention rates using a vintage study methodology. The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model's simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies.
On a quarterly basis, we run various simulation models including a static balance sheet and dynamic growth balance sheet. These models test the impact on net interest income and fair value of equity from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. Under the static model, rates are shocked instantaneously and ramped rates change over a twelve-month and twenty-four month horizon based upon parallel yield curve shifts. Parallel shock scenarios assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. Additionally, we run non-parallel simulation involving analysis of interest income and expense under various changes in the shape of the yield curve. Internal policy regarding interest rate risk simulations currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net interest income at risk for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 8.0% for a 100 basis point shift, 15.0% for a 200 basis point shift, 20.0% for a 300 basis point shift, and 25.0% for a 400 basis point shift. We continue to monitor our asset sensitivity and evaluate strategies to prevent being significantly impacted by declining interest rates in the near future. We are modeling outside of policy in the down 100 and down 200 basis point rate scenarios, and we continue to monitor our asset sensitivity and evaluate strategies to prevent being significantly impacted by future changes in interest rates.

We have found that, historically, interest rates on deposits change more slowly than changes in the discount and federal funds rates. This assumption is incorporated into the simulation model and is generally not fully reflected in a gap analysis, meaning that process by which we measure the gap between interest rate sensitive assets versus interest rate sensitive liabilities. The assumptions incorporated into the model are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model's simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various strategies.
Impact of Inflation
Our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative value of money over time due to inflation or recession. Inflation generally increases the costs of funds and operating overhead, and to the extent loans and other assets bear variable rates, the yields on such assets. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant effect on the performance of a financial institution than the effects of general levels of inflation. In addition, inflation affects a financial institution's cost of goods and services purchased, the cost of salaries and benefits, occupancy expense and similar items. Inflation and related increases in interest rates generally decrease the market value of investments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings and stockholders' equity.
Market Risk
Regulators have encouraged banks to transition away from the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as a reference rate. It is expected that the transition away from the widespread use of LIBOR to alternative rates will continue to occur over the course of the next twenty-four months. Please see "Item 1A Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business" included in our 2020 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC for further information.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures — As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In July 2019, the Company's board of directors authorized a stock buyback program pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase up to $40 million of its outstanding common stock. The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time, depending upon market conditions and other factors, and in accordance with applicable regulations of the SEC. The stock buyback program is intended to expire in 2022, but may be terminated or amended by the Company’s board of directors at any time. The stock buyback program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares at any time. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak the Company did not repurchase any shares after the first quarter of 2020 through December 31, 2020.
The following table shows the Company's monthly stock repurchases during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
