PARK NATIONAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report have been prepared for Park National Corporation (sometimes also referred to as the “Registrant”) and its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Park", the "Corporation" or the "Company" and similar terms mean Park National Corporation and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2022.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated condensed balance sheets, consolidated condensed statements of income, consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive (loss) income, consolidated condensed statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and consolidated condensed statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Park National Corporation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 ("Park's 2021 Form 10-K"). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
Park’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2021 Form 10-K. For interim reporting purposes, Park follows the same basic accounting policies, as updated by the information contained in this report, and considers each interim period an integral part of an annual period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant, unprecedented disruption around the world that has affected daily living and negatively impacted the global economy. Additionally, geopolitical conflict (including the conflict in Ukraine) and inflationary pressures have added uncertainty to the overall economic environment. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflict, and inflationary pressures may meaningfully impact significant estimates such as the allowance for credit losses, goodwill, mortgage servicing rights, and pension plan obligations and related expenses. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has particularly impacted certain loan concentrations in the hotels and accommodations, restaurants and food service, and strip shopping centers industries.

Note 2 - Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements and Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements impacting Park's consolidated financial statements:

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 121 - In March 2022, the SEC issued SAB No. 121. This SAB adds interpretive guidance for entities to consider when they have obligations to safeguard crypto-assets held for their platform users. Specifically, this SAB provides interpretive guidance on the accounting and disclosure of obligations to safeguard crypto-assets held for platform users. This guidance was applicable no later than the financial statement covering the first interim or annual period ending after June 15, 2022. Management has reviewed its business activities and determined that SAB 121 is not materially impactful to the financial statements as of June 30, 2022.

Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures: In March 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty.

For entities, like Park, that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity may elect to adopt the loan modification guidance and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, except for the amendments related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs which may be applied prospectively, or using a modified retrospective transition method. Management intends to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements but will impact disclosure requirements and reduce individually evaluated loan totals.

At June 30, 2022, Park’s debt securities portfolio consisted of $1.8 billion of securities, $1.7 billion of which were in an unrealized loss position with unrealized losses of $102.5 million. Of the $1.7 billion of securities in an unrealized loss position, $162.5 million were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. Of the $102.5 million in unrealized losses, $59.5 million were related to Park’s U.S. Government sponsored entities' asset-backed securities portfolio. For non-agency debt securities, Park verified that the current credit ratings remain above investment grade. Unrealized losses have not been recognized into earnings as they represent negative adjustments to fair value relative to the rate of interest paid on the securities and not losses related to the creditworthiness of the respective issuers. Management does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell, the securities prior to their anticipated recovery in respect of the unrealized losses. Management believes the value will recover as the securities approach maturity or market rates change.

There was no allowance for credit losses recorded for debt securities AFS at either June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Additionally, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no credit-related investment impairment losses recognized.

Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are recorded at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions ("modified cost"). Park's portfolio of equity investments in limited partnerships which provide mezzanine funding ("Partnership Investments") are valued using the NAV practical expedient in accordance with ASC 820.

The past due information is the primary credit quality indicator within the following classes of loans: (1) overdrafts in the commercial, financial and agricultural portfolio segment; (2) retail loans in the construction real estate portfolio segment; (3) mortgage loans, HELOC and installment loans in the residential real estate portfolio segment; and (4) consumer loans, GFSC loans, and check loans in the consumer portfolio segment. The primary credit indicator for commercial loans is based on an internal grading system that grades all commercial loans on a scale from 1 to 8. Credit grades are continuously monitored by the responsible loan officer and adjustments are made when appropriate. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans that are pass-rated (graded a 1 through a 4) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher PD is applied to these loans. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that require management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of Park’s credit position at some future date. Commercial loans graded a 6 (substandard), also considered watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit risk and, as a result, a higher PD is applied to these loans. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the value of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Park will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Commercial loans graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonaccrual and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are placed on nonaccrual status and included within the individually evaluated category. A commercial loan is deemed nonaccrual, and is individually evaluated, when management

determines the borrower's ability to perform in accordance with the contractual loan agreement is in doubt. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged off.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:

Park considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for credit losses. For residential and consumer loan classes, Park also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by performing status. The following tables present the amortized cost in residential and consumer loans based on performing status. Park defines a loan as nonperforming if it is on nonaccrual status, designated as an accruing TDR, or is greater than 90 days past due and accruing.

acquired with deteriorated credit quality (ASC 310-30) with a book value of $19.9 million were recorded at the initial fair value of $18.4 million.

Upon adoption of CECL on January 1, 2021, $52,000 of the credit discount on PCD loans was reclassified to the allowance for credit losses. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no allowance for credit losses on PCD loans. The carrying amount of loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $5.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
Management typically classifies loans as TDRs when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and Park has granted a concession to the borrower as part of a modification or in the loan renewal process. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of the borrower's debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with the Company’s internal underwriting policy. Management’s policy is to modify loans by extending the term or by granting a temporary or permanent contractual interest rate below the market rate, not by forgiving debt. A court's discharge of a borrower's debt in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is considered a concession when the borrower does not reaffirm the discharged debt.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Park has worked with borrowers and provided modifications in the form of either interest only deferral or principal and interest deferral, in each case, for initial periods of up to 90 days. As necessary, Park made available a second 90-day interest only deferral or principal and interest deferral bringing the total potential deferral period to six months. Modifications were structured in a manner to best address each individual customer's then current situation. A majority of these modifications were excluded from the TDR classification under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators. The modified loans were considered current and continued to accrue interest during the deferral period. Section 4013 of the CARES Act expired on December 31, 2021; therefore, modifications occurring after that date are subject to previous TDR classification guidance.

Certain other loans which were modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 did not meet the definition of a TDR as the modification was a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant. Management considers a forbearance period of up to three months or a delay in payment of up to 30 days to be insignificant. TDRs may be classified as accruing if the borrower has been current for a period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. Management reviews all accruing TDRs quarterly to ensure payments continue to be made in accordance with the modified terms.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $14.2 million and $20.9 million, respectively, of TDRs included in the nonaccrual loan totals. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $4.8 million and $10.5 million, respectively, of these nonaccrual TDRs were performing in accordance with the terms of the restructured notes. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, loans totaling $19.7 million and $28.3 million, respectively, were included in accruing TDR loan totals. Management will continue to review the restructured loans and may determine it is appropriate to move certain nonaccrual TDRs to accrual status in the future.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Park had commitments to lend $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of additional funds to borrowers whose outstanding loan terms had been modified in a TDR.
 
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of specific reserves related to TDRs. Modifications made in 2022 and 2021 were largely the result of renewals and extending the maturity date of the loans at terms consistent with the original notes. These modifications were deemed to be TDRs primarily due to Park’s conclusion that the respective borrowers would likely not have qualified for similar terms through another lender. Many of the modifications deemed to be TDRs were previously identified as loans individually evaluated for impairment. There were no additional specific reserves recorded during the three-month or six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 as a result of TDRs identified in the respective periods. There were $18,000 of additional specific reserves recorded during both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 as a result of TDRs identified in the respective periods.

Quarterly, management reviews renewals/modifications of loans previously identified as TDRs to consider if it is appropriate to remove the TDR classification. If the borrower is no longer experiencing financial difficulty and the renewal/modification did not contain a concessionary interest rate or other concessionary terms and the terms of the renewal/modification are considered to be market terms based on the current risk characteristics of the borrower, management considers the potential removal of the TDR classification. If deemed appropriate, the TDR classification is removed if the borrower has complied with the terms of the

loan at the date of the renewal/modification and there was a reasonable expectation that the borrower will continue to comply with the terms of the loan subsequent to the date of the renewal/modification. The majority of these TDRs were originally considered restructurings in a prior year as a result of a renewal/modification with an interest rate that was not commensurate with the risk of the underlying loan at the time of the renewal/modification. There were $0.8 million and $1.0 million of TDR classifications removed during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively. There were no TDR classifications removed during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. The TDR classification was removed on $3.9 million of loans during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. Excluding COVID-19 related modifications, there were no substandard commercial loans modified during either of the three-month or six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, which did not meet the definition of a TDR. Consumer loans modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, which did not meet the definition of a TDR, had a total amortized cost of $11.9 million and $23.0 million, respectively. Excluding COVID-19 related modifications, consumer loans modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, which did not meet the definition of a TDR, had a total amortized cost of $2.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Many of these loans were to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties but who were looking to reduce their cost of funds.

The following tables detail the number of contracts modified as TDRs during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, as well as the amortized cost of these contracts at June 30, 2022 and 2021. The amortized cost pre-and post-modification is generally the same due to the fact that Park does not typically forgive principal.

Note 6 – Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL is an estimate of the expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, which is measured using relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors.

During the first quarter of 2021, Park adopted ASU 2016-13, including the CECL methodology for estimating the ACL. This standard was adopted prospectively on January 1, 2021, resulting in a $6.1 million increase to the ACL and a $3.9 million increase to the allowance for unfunded credit losses. A cumulative effect adjustment resulting in an $8.0 million decrease to retained earnings and a $2.1 million increase to deferred tax assets was also recorded as of the adoption of ASU 2016-13.

Quantitative Considerations
The ACL is primarily calculated utilizing a DCF model. Key inputs and assumptions used in this model are discussed below:

Forecast model - For each portfolio segment, a LDA was performed in order to identify appropriate loss drivers and create a regression model for use in forecasting cash flows. The LDA analysis utilized Park's own FFIEC Call Report data for the commercial, financial and agricultural and residential real estate portfolio segments. Peer data was incorporated into the analysis for the commercial real estate, construction real estate, and consumer portfolio segments. Park plans to update the LDA annually; however, due to the impact of COVID-19, the LDA analysis was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Probability of default – PD is the probability that an asset will be in default within a given time frame. Park has defined default to be when a charge-off has occurred, a loan is nonaccrual, or a loan is greater than 90 days past due.
37

Table of Contents


Whenever possible, Park utilizes its own loan-level PDs for the reasonable and supportable forecast period. When loan-level data is not available reflecting the forecasted economic conditions, a forecast model is utilized to estimate PDs.
Loss given default – LGD is the percentage of the asset not expected to be collected due to default. Whenever possible, Park utilizes its own loan-level LGDs for the reasonable and supportable forecast period. When it is not possible to use Park's own LGDs, the LGD is derived using a method referred to as Frye Jacobs.
Prepayments and curtailments – Prepayments and curtailments are calculated based on Park’s own data utilizing a three-year average. This analysis is updated annually in the fourth quarter and was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Forecast and reversion – Park has established a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period with a one-year straight line reversion to the long-term historical average.
Economic forecast - Park utilizes a third party to provide economic forecasts under various scenarios, which are weighted in order to reflect model risk in the current economic environment. The scenario weighting is evaluated by management on a quarterly basis.
As of December 31, 2021, the "most likely" scenario forecasted Ohio unemployment between 3.32% and 3.97% during the next four quarters. In determining the appropriate weighting of scenarios at December 31, 2021, management considered the range of forecasted unemployment as well as a number of economic indicators. While some economic indications continued to be optimistic, the Omicron variant, rising inflation, volatility in consumer confidence, employment, supply chain and workforce challenges continued to cause uncertainty in the overall economic environment. Considering these factors, management determined it was appropriate to maintain the previous quarter weighting, and weigh the "most likely" scenario 50% and the "moderate recession" scenario 50% at December 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2022, the "most likely" scenario forecasted Ohio unemployment between 3.36% and 3.75% during the next four quarters. In determining the appropriate weighting of scenarios at March 31, 2022, management considered the range of forecasted unemployment as well as a number of economic indicators. While some economic indications were optimistic, the surging inflation, volatility in consumer confidence, workforce challenges, and geopolitical conflict (including the conflict in Ukraine) continued to cause uncertainty in the overall economic environment. Considering these factors, management determined it was appropriate to maintain the previous quarter weighting, and weigh the "most likely" scenario 50% and the "moderate recession" scenario 50% at March 31, 2022. Improved forecasts, largely in the "moderate recession" scenario, resulted in a 4 basis point decline in the weighted quantitative allowance.
As of June 30, 2022, the "most likely" scenario forecasted Ohio unemployment between 3.36% and 3.57% during the next four quarters. In determining the appropriate weighting of scenarios at June 30, 2022, management considered the range of forecasted unemployment as well as a number of economic indicators. While some economic indications were optimistic, the surging inflation, declining consumer confidence, rising interest rates, geopolitical conflict (including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine), and workforce and supply chain challenges continued to cause uncertainty to the overall economic environment. Considering these factors, management determined it was appropriate to maintain the previous quarter weighting, and weigh the "most likely" scenario 50% and the "moderate recession" scenario 50% at June 30, 2022. Deteriorating forecasts, largely in the "moderate recession" scenario, resulted in a 4 basis point increase in the weighted quantitative allowance.

Qualitative Considerations
Park reviews various internal and external factors to consider the need for any qualitative adjustments to the quantitative model. Factors considered include the following:
The nature and volume of Park’s financial assets; the existence, growth, and effect of any concentrations of credit and the volume and severity of past due financial assets, the volume of nonaccrual assets, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded assets. Specifically, management considers:
Trends (e.g., growth, reduction) in specific categories of the loan portfolio, as well as adjustments to the types of loans offered by Park.
Level of and trend in loan delinquencies, troubled loans, commercial watch list loans and nonperforming loans.
Level of and trend in new nonaccrual loans.
Level of and trend in loan charge-offs and recoveries.
Park's lending policies and procedures, including changes in lending strategies, underwriting standards and practices for collections, write-offs and recoveries.
The quality of Park’s credit review function.
The experience, ability, and depth of Park’s lending, investment, collection and other relevant management and staff.

Table of Contents


The effect of other external factors such as the regulatory, legal and technological environments; competition; geopolitical conflict; and events such as natural disasters or pandemics.
Actual and expected changes in international, national, regional and local economic and business conditions and developments in the markets in which Park operates that affect the collectibility of financial assets.
Where the U.S. economy is within a given credit cycle.
The extent that there is government assistance (stimulus).

During 2020, Park added an additional reserve for three industries at particularly high risk due to the COVID-19 pandemic: hotels and accommodations; restaurants and food service; and strip shopping centers. These industries have experienced high levels of deferrals and have been particularly impacted by shut downs of non-essential businesses, increased health department regulations, and changes in consumer behavior. Management expects that a relatively higher percentage of the 4-rated credits in these portfolios will eventually migrate to special mention, substandard, or doubtful. In adopting CECL, management determined it was appropriate to retain this qualitative adjustment as this adjustment takes into account the additional risk in these portfolios, which is not captured in the quantitative calculation. Even though COVID-19 case numbers have declined since December 31, 2021, these industries are still recovering from the pandemic effects. As of June 30, 2022 additional reserves totaling $2.6 million were added for these portfolios on top of the quantitative reserve already calculated. This is a decrease from $5.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and reflects improvement in COVID-19 cases, eased COVID-19 health department precautions and improving affected industry performance. Management believes there is still residual risk in these portfolios related to pandemic effects and uncertainty in future COVID-19 strains and related impacts.

A breakout of the 4-rated balances within these portfolios and the additional reserve related to these portfolios is detailed in the following table:

June 30, 2022December 31, 2021
(in thousands)4-Rated BalanceAdditional Reserve4-Rated BalanceAdditional Reserve
Hotels and accommodations$152,081 $1,145 $148,018 $2,226

Total$370,771 $2,616 $372,837 $5,176 

Additionally, at June 30, 2022, management applied a 0.75% reserve to all hotels and accommodations loans in the collectively evaluated population to account for increased valuation risk. This 0.75% reserve was reduced from 1.00% at December 31, 2021. At June 30, 2022, Park's originated hotels and accommodation loans had a balance of $199.0 million with an additional reserve related to valuation risks of $1.5 million. At December 31, 2021, Park's originated hotels and accommodation loans had a balance of $203.9 million with an additional reserve related to valuation risks of $2.0 million.

As of June 30, 2022, Park had $13.4 million of PPP loans which were included in the commercial, financial and agricultural portfolio segment. These loans are guaranteed by the SBA and thus have not been reserved for using the same methodology as the rest of Park’s loan portfolio. A 10 basis point reserve was calculated for these loans to reflect minimal credit risk.

ACL Summary
Loans collectively evaluated for impairment in the following tables include all performing loans at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as well as nonperforming loans internally classified as consumer loans. Nonperforming consumer loans are not typically individually evaluated for impairment, but receive a portion of the statistical allocation of the ACL. Loans individually evaluated for impairment include all internally classified commercial nonaccrual loans and TDRs at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which are individually evaluated for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP (see Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2021 Form 10-K).

Note 7 – Loans Held For Sale
 
Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, Park had $5.7 million and $9.4 million in mortgage loans held for sale. These amounts are included in loans on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and in the residential real estate loan portfolio segment in Note 5 - Loans, and Note 6 - Allowance for Credit Losses. The contractual balance was $5.6 million and $9.2 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The gain expected upon sale was $76,000 and $166,000 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. None of these loans were 90 days or more past due or on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Park transferred certain commercial loans held for investment, with an amortized cost of $6.3 million, to the loans held for sale portfolio. The transferred loans were recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, recording a charge-off in each instance where the fair value of an individual loan was deemed to be below the carrying cost at the time the loans were moved to the held for sale portfolio.

Note 11 – Loan Servicing
 
Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $2.12 billion at June 30, 2022, $2.13 billion at December 31, 2021 and $2.09 billion at June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2022, $3.3 million of the sold mortgage loans were sold with recourse, compared to $3.3 million at December 31, 2021 and $3.8 million at June 30, 2021. Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage loans sold with recourse. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, management had established reserves of $66,000 and $57,000, respectively, to account for expected losses on loan repurchases.
 
When Park sells mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, these servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value. Park has selected the “amortization method” as permissible within U.S. GAAP, whereby the servicing rights capitalized are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated future servicing income with respect to the underlying loan. At the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of MSRs is assessed for impairment with a comparison to fair value. MSRs are carried at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value. The amortization of MSRs is included within "Other service income" in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

Note 12 - Leases

Park is a lessee in several noncancellable operating lease arrangements, primarily for retail branches, administrative and warehouse buildings, ATMs, and certain office equipment within its Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Kentucky markets. Certain of these leases contain renewal options for periods ranging from one to five years. Park’s leases generally do not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Payments due under the lease contracts include fixed payments plus, for many of Park’s real estate leases, variable payments such as Park's proportionate share of property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance.

Park elected the practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components. Additionally, Park has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. Park recognizes the lease payments associated with its short-term leases as an expense on a cash basis.

Management determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. If an arrangement is determined to be or contain a lease, Park recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the lease commencement date. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all of Park's leases were classified as operating leases.

45

Table of Contents


Park’s lease liability is initially and subsequently measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments related to the lease liability include how management determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) the lease term, and (3) lease payments.

ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, Park's management cannot determine the interest rate implicit in a lease because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, Park utilizes its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. Park’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest Park would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. To manage its capital and liquidity needs, Park periodically obtains wholesale funding from the FHLB on an over-collateralized basis. The impact of utilizing an interest rate on an over-collateralized borrowing versus a fully collateralized borrowing is not material. Therefore, the FHLB yield curve was selected by Park's management as a baseline to determine Park’s discount rates for leases.

The lease term for all of Park's leases includes the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either Park's option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that Park is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. If a lease contract contains multiple renewal options, Park's management generally models lease cash flows through the first renewal option period unless the contract contains economic incentives or other conditions that increase the likelihood that additional renewals are reasonably certain to be exercised.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of the following:
Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, owed over the lease term;
For certain of Park's gross real estate leases, non-lease components such as real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance; and
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the lease commencement date.

The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. For operating leases, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Park's operating lease ROU asset and lease liability are presented in “Operating lease right-of-use asset" and "Operating lease liability," respectively, on Park's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The carrying amounts of Park's ROU asset and lease liability at June 30, 2022 were $16.3 million and $17.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of Park's ROU asset and lease liability were $13.4 million and $14.3 million, respectively. Park's operating lease expense is recorded in "Occupancy expense" on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

In September 2021, the Company entered into a noncancellable operating lease for an additional retail office for an initial term of 12 years, with two five-year renewal options. The lease commenced on July 1, 2022, and therefore, was not recognized as of December 31, 2021 or June 30, 2022. The fixed payments due on an undiscounted basis over the noncancellable 12-year period of the lease are $3.5 million. The Company will assess the lease term as of the lease commencement date, but does not presently expect that either of the five-year renewal periods will be exercised.

Note 13 – Repurchase Agreement Borrowings

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repurchase agreements") with customers represent funds deposited by customers, generally on an overnight basis, that are collateralized by investment securities owned by Park. Repurchase agreements with customers are included in "Short-term borrowings" on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

All repurchase agreements are subject to terms and conditions of repurchase/security agreements between Park and the client and are accounted for as secured borrowings. Park's repurchase agreements consist of customer accounts and securities which are pledged on an individual security basis.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Park's repurchase agreement borrowings totaled $171.8 million and $213.8 million, respectively. These borrowings were collateralized with U.S. government sponsored entities' asset-backed securities with a fair

value of $216.6 million and $334.9 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Declines in the value of the collateral would require Park to pledge additional securities. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Park had $1,263 million and $1,225 million, respectively, of available unpledged securities.

Note 14 - Derivatives

Park uses certain derivative financial instruments (or "derivatives") to meet the needs of its clients while managing the interest rate risk associated with certain transactions. Park does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. A summary of derivative financial instruments utilized by Park follows.

Interest Rate Swaps
Park utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset-liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position and as a means to meet the financing, interest rate and other risk management needs of qualifying commercial banking customers. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent the amount exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Borrowing Derivatives: At June 30, 2022, Park had no borrowing derivatives. Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $25.0 million at December 31, 2021 were designated as cash flow hedges of certain FHLB advances.

Loan Derivatives: In conjunction with the Carolina Alliance acquisition, Park acquired interest rate swaps related to certain commercial loans. Simultaneously with borrowers entering into interest rate swaps, Carolina Alliance entered into offsetting interest rate swaps executed with a third party, such that Carolina Alliance minimized its net interest rate risk exposure resulting from such transactions. These interest rate swaps had a notional amount totaling $26.8 million and $29.7 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

All of the Company's interest rate swaps were determined to be fully effective during each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets and other liabilities with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, Park recognized expense of $66,000 as the result of the early termination of a borrowing interest rate swap. Park expects the outstanding hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining respective terms of the swaps.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives
Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. In order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans, the Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into. These mortgage banking derivatives are not designated as hedge relationships. The fair value of an interest rate lock is recorded at the time the commitment to fund the mortgage loan is executed and is adjusted for the expected exercise of the commitment before the loan is funded. Fair values of these mortgage banking derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in "Other service income" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Park had $5.8 million and $13.3 million, respectively, of interest rate lock commitments. The fair value of these mortgage banking derivatives was reflected by a derivative asset of $0.1 million and $0.3 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Other Derivatives
In connection with the sale of Park’s Class B Visa shares during 2009, Park entered into a swap agreement with the purchaser of the shares. The swap agreement adjusts for dilution in the conversion ratio of Class B Visa shares resulting from certain Visa litigation. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the swap liability of $447,000 and $226,000, respectively, was an estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.

Note 20 – Fair Value
 
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that Park uses to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that Park has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Level 1 inputs for assets or liabilities that are not actively traded. Also consists of an observable market price for a similar asset or liability. This includes the use of “matrix pricing” to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices.
Level 3: Consists of unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value when observable market inputs are not available. This could include the use of internally developed models, financial forecasting and similar inputs.
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell 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 at the balance sheet date. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and Park must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value. The fair value of individually evaluated collateral dependent loans is typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third-party appraisals in accordance with Park's valuation requirements under its commercial and real estate loan policies.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities discussed above:

Interest rate swaps:  The fair values of interest rate swaps are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows (Level 3).

Fair value swap: The fair value of the swap agreement entered into with the purchaser of the Visa Class B shares represents an internally developed estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses and is classified as Level 3.

Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Commitments: Mortgage IRLCs are based on current secondary market pricing and are classified as Level 2.
 
Mortgage loans held for sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value. Mortgage loans held for sale are estimated using market prices for similar product types and, therefore, are classified in Level 2.

The table below presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 inputs for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis:
 
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as described below:

Commercial loans held for sale: Commercial loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Loans are evaluated quarterly with any subsequent fair value adjustments being recorded to a valuation allowance. Fair value is determined based on third-party broker pricing, resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Individually evaluated collateral dependent loans: When a loan is individually evaluated, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Collateral dependent loans which are individually evaluated and carried at fair value have been partially charged off or receive specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is generally based on real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Collateral is then adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Individually evaluated loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Additionally, updated independent valuations are obtained annually for all collateral dependent loans in accordance with Company policy.

OREO: Assets acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
 
Appraisals for both individually evaluated collateral dependent loans and OREO are performed by licensed appraisers. Appraisals are generally obtained to support the fair value of collateral. In general, there are three types of appraisals received by the Company: real estate appraisals, income approach appraisals, and lot development loan appraisals. These are discussed below:
 
Real estate appraisals typically incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties. Appraisers may make adjustments to the sales prices of the comparable properties as deemed appropriate based on the age, condition or general characteristics of the subject property. Management generally applies a 15% discount to real estate appraised values which management expects will cover all disposition costs (including selling costs). This 15% discount is based on historical discounts to appraised values on sold OREO properties.

Income approach appraisals typically incorporate the annual net operating income of the business divided by an appropriate capitalization rate, as determined by the appraiser. Management generally applies a 15% discount to income approach appraised values which management expects will cover all disposition costs (including selling costs).

Lot development loan appraisals are typically performed using a discounted cash flow analysis. Appraisers determine an anticipated absorption period and a discount rate that takes into account an investor’s required rate of return based on recent comparable sales. Management generally applies a 6% discount to lot development appraised values, which is an additional discount above the net present value calculation included in the appraisal, to account for selling costs.

Other repossessed assets: Other repossessed assets are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired. The carrying value of other repossessed assets is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs. At December 31, 2021, other repossessed assets primarily consisted of aircraft acquired as part of a loan workout. Fair value is based on Aircraft Bluebook and VREF Aircraft Value Reference values based on the model of aircraft and adjustments for flight hours, features and other variables. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. There were no other repossessed assets carried at fair value at June 30, 2022.

MSRs: MSRs are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. MSRs do not trade in active, open markets with readily observable prices. For example, sales of MSRs do occur, but precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. As such,
59

Table of Contents


management, with the assistance of a third-party specialist, determines fair value based on the discounted value of the future cash flows estimated to be received. Significant inputs include the discount rate and assumed prepayment speeds. The calculated fair value is then compared to market values where possible to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation in relation to current market expectations for similar products. Accordingly, MSRs are classified as Level 2.

The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Individually evaluated collateral dependent loans secured by real estate are carried at fair value if they have been charged down to fair value or if a specific valuation allowance has been established. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no PCD loans carried at fair value. A new cost basis is established at the time a property is initially recorded in OREO. OREO properties are carried at fair value if a devaluation has been taken with respect to the property's value subsequent to the initial measurement.

A description of Park's material revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

Income from fiduciary activities (gross): Park earns fiduciary fee income and investment brokerage fees from its contracts with trust customers for various fiduciary and investment-related services. These fees are earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly and quarterly services and are generally assessed based on the market value of the trust assets.

Service charges on deposit accounts and ATM fees: The Corporation earns fees from the Corporation's deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering fees, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Corporation fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are generally recognized at the end of the month, representing the period over which the Corporation satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.

Other service income: Other service income includes income from (1) the sale and servicing of loans sold to the secondary market, (2) incentive income from third-party credit card issuers, and (3) loan customers for various loan-related activities and services. Income related to the sale and servicing of loans sold to the secondary market is included within Other service income, but is not within the scope of ASC 606. Services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are recognized as revenue when the Company satisfies the Company's performance obligation to the customer.

Table of Contents


Debit card fee income: Park earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted primarily through the Visa payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, net of card network fees, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Management's Discussion and Analysis (or "MD&A") contains non-U.S. GAAP financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Park’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, can be found herein.

Items Impacting Comparability of Period Results
From time to time, revenue, expenses and/or taxes are impacted by items judged by management of Park to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by management of Park at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature. Most often, these items impacting comparability of period results are due to merger and acquisition activities and revenue and expenses related to former Vision Bank loan relationships. In other cases, they may result from management's decisions associated with significant corporate actions outside of the ordinary course of business.

Even though certain revenue and expense items are naturally subject to more volatility than others due to changes in market and economic environment conditions, as a general rule volatility alone does not result in the inclusion of an item as one impacting comparability of period results. For example, changes in the provision for / (recovery of) credit losses (aside from those related to former Vision Bank loan relationships), gains (losses) on equity securities, net, and asset valuation adjustments, reflect ordinary banking activities and are, therefore, typically excluded from consideration as items impacting comparability of period results.

Management believes the disclosure of items impacting comparability of period results provides a better understanding of Park's performance and trends and allows management to ascertain which of such items, if any, to include or exclude from an analysis of Park's performance; i.e., within the context of determining how that performance differed from expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust estimates of future performance taking such items into account.

Items impacting comparability of the results of particular periods are not intended to be a complete list of items that may materially impact current or future period performance.

Non-GAAP Ratios
Park's management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate Park's performance. Specifically, management reviews the return on average tangible equity, the return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, the tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income.

Management has included in the tables included within the "Items Impacting Comparability" section of this MD&A information relating to the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, the tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income for the three months ended and at June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 and for the six months ended and at June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. For the purpose of calculating the annualized return on average tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, net income for each period is divided by average tangible equity during the period. Average tangible equity equals average shareholders' equity during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating the annualized return on average tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, net income for each period is divided by average tangible assets during the period. Average tangible assets equals average assets during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, tangible equity is divided by tangible assets. Tangible equity equals total shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, in each case at period end. Tangible assets equal total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, in each case at period end. For the purpose of calculating the tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, tangible equity is divided by the number of common shares outstanding, in each case at period end. For the purpose of calculating pre-tax, pre-provision net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, income taxes and the provision for (recovery of) credit losses are added back to net income in each case, during the applicable period.

Management believes that the disclosure of the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, the tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income presents additional information to the reader of the consolidated financial statements, which, when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, assists in analyzing Park's operating performance, ensures comparability of operating performance from period to period, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of Park's peer financial holding companies and bank holding companies, while eliminating certain non-operational effects of acquisitions. In the tables included within the "Items Impacting Comparability" section of this MD&A, Park has provided a reconciliation of average tangible equity to average shareholders' equity, average tangible assets to average assets, tangible equity to total shareholders' equity, tangible assets to total assets, and pre-tax, pre-provision net income to net income solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, the tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income are substitutes for the annualized return on average equity, the annualized return on average assets, the total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio, the book value per share and net income, respectively, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

FTE (fully taxable equivalent) Ratios
Interest income, yields, and ratios on a FTE basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes net interest income on a FTE basis provides an insightful picture of the interest margin for comparison purposes. The FTE basis also allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The FTE basis assumes a corporate federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent. In the tables included within the "Items Impacting Comparability" section of this MD&A, Park has provided a reconciliation of FTE interest income solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that FTE interest income, yields and ratios are substitutes for interest income, yields and ratios, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loans
Park originated $764.7 million in loans as part of the PPP. These loans are not typical of Park's loan portfolio in that they are part of a specific government program to support businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic and are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. As such, management considers growth in the loan portfolio excluding PPP loans, the total allowance for credit losses to total loans ratio (excluding PPP loans), and general reserve on collectively evaluated loans as a percentage of total collectively evaluated loans (excluding PPP loans) in addition to the related U.S. GAAP metrics which are not adjusted for PPP loans.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2021 Form 10-K lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of Park’s consolidated financial statements. The accounting and reporting policies of Park conform with U.S. GAAP and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of
72

Table of Contents


financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant, unprecedented disruption around the world that has affected daily living and negatively impacted the global economy. Additionally, geopolitical conflict (including the conflict in Ukraine) and inflationary pressures have added uncertainty to the overall economic environment. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflict, and inflation may meaningfully impact significant estimates such as the allowance for credit losses, goodwill, and pension plan obligations and related expenses.
 
Allowance for Credit Losses: Park believes the determination of the allowance for credit losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance for credit losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated credit losses over the life of an asset or an off-balance sheet credit exposure. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is based on periodic evaluations of past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets. However, this evaluation has subjective components requiring material estimates, including expected default probabilities, the expected loss given default, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on individually evaluated loans, and estimated losses based on historical loss experience and forecasted economic conditions. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent that actual results differ from management estimates, additional provisions for credit losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.

One of the most significant judgments impacting the ACL estimate is the economic forecast for Ohio unemployment, Ohio GDP, and Ohio HPI. Changes in the economic forecasts could significantly affect the estimated credit losses which could potentially lead to materially different allowance levels from one reporting period to the next.

In calculating the ACL, management weighs several different scenarios, including a baseline (most likely) scenario and an adverse scenario. To create a hypothetical sensitivity analysis, management calculated a quantitative allowance using a 100% weighting applied to an adverse scenario. This scenario considers among other things that: (1) the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine worsens significantly and persists longer than anticipated resulting in a disruption in oil supply and increased inflation; (2) supply chain issues erode, with increased shortages of many goods, also boosting inflation; (3) inflation continues to increase which leads to a recession and increased unemployment; and (4) new cases, hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 start to rise significantly again, slowing growth in spending on air travel, retail and hotels. The adverse scenario forecasts unemployment for the next twelve months to range from 6.1% to 8.5%. Excluding consideration of general reserve adjustments, this sensitivity analysis would result in a hypothetical increase in Park's ACL of $20.7 million as of June 30, 2022. Excluding consideration of general reserve adjustments, a corresponding $20.7 million decrease in Park's ACL would occur in a hypothetical scenario if only the baseline (most likely) scenario was used.

Refer to the "Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses" section of this MD&A for additional discussion.

Goodwill: Management believes that the accounting for goodwill also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant accounting policies. U.S. GAAP establishes standards for the impairment assessment of goodwill. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in each business acquired. Park’s goodwill, as of June 30, 2022, relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of Park’s national bank subsidiary, PNB, to provide quality, cost-effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. The goodwill value is supported by revenue that is in part driven by the volume of business transacted. A decrease in earnings resulting from a decline in the customer base, the inability to deliver cost-effective services over sustained periods or significant credit problems could lead to impairment of goodwill that could, in turn, adversely impact earnings in future periods.

U.S. GAAP requires an annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Park evaluates goodwill for impairment during the second quarter of each year, with financial data as of March 31. Based on the qualitative analysis performed as of April 1, 2022, the Company determined that goodwill for Park's reporting unit, PNB, was not impaired. The fair value of the goodwill, which resides on the books of PNB, is evaluated for potential impairment by reviewing the past and projected operating results for PNB, deposit and loan totals for PNB and banking industry comparable information.

Pension Plan: The determination of pension plan obligations and related expenses requires the use of assumptions to estimate the amount of benefits that employees will earn while working, as well as the present value of those benefits. Annual pension
73

Table of Contents


expense is principally based on four components: (1) the value of benefits earned by employees for working during the year (service cost), (2) the increase in the liability due to the passage of time (interest cost), and (3) other gains and losses, reduced by (4) the expected return on plan assets for our pension plan.

Significant assumptions used to measure our annual pension expense include:

the interest rate used to determine the present value of liabilities (discount rate);
certain employee-related factors, such as turnover, retirement age and mortality;
the expected return on assets in our funded pension plan; and
the rate of salary increases where benefits are based on earnings.

Our assumptions reflect our historical experience and management’s best judgment regarding future expectations. Due to the significant management judgment involved, our assumptions could have a material impact on the measurement of our pension plan expense and obligation.

Comparison of Results of Operations
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
 
Summary Discussion of Results

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $34.3 million, compared to $39.1 million for the second quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per common share were $2.10 for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $2.38 for the second quarter of 2021. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding were 16,361,246 for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 16,472,800 weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2021.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $73.2 million, compared to $82.0 million for the first half of 2021. Diluted earnings per common share were $4.48 for the first half of 2022, compared to $4.98 for the first half of 2021. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding were 16,346,141 for the first half of 2022, compared to 16,455,673 weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the first half of 2021.

COVID-19 Considerations

During 2022 and 2021, Park provided calamity pay and special bonuses to certain associates related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The cost of the calamity pay and special bonuses was $141,000 and $670,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and was $747,000 and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and is included within salaries expense.

Paycheck Protection Program: During 2020 and 2021, Park approved and funded 7,701 loans totaling $764.7 million. For its assistance in making and retaining these loans, Park received an aggregate of $33.1 million in fees from the SBA. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, $1.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of PPP fee income was recognized within loan interest income. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, $2.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively, of PPP fee income was recognized within loan interest income.

Loan Modifications: Park has worked with borrowers and provided modifications in the form of either interest only deferral or principal and interest deferral, in each case, for initial periods of up to 90 days. As necessary, Park made available a second 90-day interest only deferral or principal and interest deferral bringing the total potential deferral period to six months. Modifications were structured in a manner to best address each individual customer's then current situation. A majority of these modifications were excluded from the TDR classification under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators. The modified loans were considered current and continued to accrue interest during the deferral period. Section 4013 of the CARES Act expired on December 31, 2021; therefore, modifications occurring after that date are subject to previous TDR classification guidance.

(1) Park adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2021. The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and as of December 31, 2021 and the related provision for (recovery of) credit losses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021 were calculated utilizing this guidance.

Net interest income of $162.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represented a $2.0 million, or 1.2%, decrease compared to $164.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was a result of a $2.4 million decrease in interest income, partially offset by a $470,000 decrease in interest expense.

The $2.4 million decrease in interest income was primarily due to a $8.4 million decrease in interest income on loans, partially offset by a $6.0 million increase in investment income. The decrease in interest income on loans was primarily the result of a $8.3 million decrease in interest income on PPP loans and a $170,000 decrease in interest income on all other loans. Excluding PPP loans, there was a $47.3 million increase in average loans from $6.743 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $6.790 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase in average loans was offset by a 3 basis point decline in the yield excluding PPP loans from 4.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 4.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Table of Contents


The $6.0 million increase in investment income was primarily the result of a $652.8 million increase in average investments, from $1.17 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $1.82 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the yield on investments, which decreased 18 basis points to 2.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 2.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The $470,000 decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a $538,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by a $68,000 increase in interest expense on borrowings. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was the result of a $99.7 million decrease in average on-balance sheet interest bearing deposits from $5.19 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, to $5.09 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as well as the result of a decrease in the cost of deposits of 2 basis points, from 0.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 0.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in on-balance sheet interest bearing deposits was due to decreases in both savings deposits and time deposits, which were partially offset by an increase in transaction accounts. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Park made the decision to participate in a program to transfer deposits off balance sheet in order to manage growth of the balance sheet.

The recovery of credit losses of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represented a difference of $6.7 million, compared to a recovery of credit losses of $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses” section for additional details regarding the level of the provision for (recovery of) credit losses recognized in each period presented above.

Other income of $60.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represented a decrease of $3.4 million, or 5.4%, compared to $63.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $3.4 million decrease was primarily related to a $7.4 million decrease in other service income, which was primarily due to declines in fee income from mortgage loan originations and mortgage servicing rights, partially offset by an increase in investor rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale. Additionally, there was a $382,000 decrease in other miscellaneous income. These decreases were partially offset by increases of (i) $1.9 million in other components of net periodic benefit income; (ii) $931,000 in gain on equity securities, net; (iii) $914,000 in income from fiduciary activities, and (iv) $552,000 in income from service charges on deposits.

(1) Park adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2021. The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 and December 31, 2021 and the related recovery of credit losses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2021 were calculated utilizing this guidance.

The net interest income (expense) for All Other included, for all periods presented, interest income on subordinated debt investments in PNB, which were eliminated in the consolidated Park National Corporation totals, as well as interest income on GFSC loans and SEPH impaired loan relationships. The net interest income (expense) for All Other included interest expense on $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 issued by Park in August 2020 (the "Park Subordinated Notes").

Net interest income (expense) reflected net interest expense of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $176,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change was largely the result of a decrease of $630,000 in loan interest income related to payment collections at SEPH, and a decrease of $595,000 in net interest income from GFSC, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowings of $239,000 mainly related to the Park Subordinated Notes.

All Other had other income of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change was largely due to a $1.2 million increase in income from bank owned life insurance, mainly related to a death benefit payout, and a $474,000 increase in gain (loss) on equity securities, net, which went from a $130,000 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to a $603,000 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was partially offset by an $442,000 decrease in income related to Partnership Investments, which went from a $642,000 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to a $199,000 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

All Other had other expense of $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was largely due to a $419,000 decrease in professional fees and services, a $364,000 decrease in occupancy expenses, a $337,000 decrease in salaries expense, and a $277,000 decrease in other insurance expense.

(2) Interest income on tax-exempt investment securities includes the effects of taxable equivalent adjustments using a 21% federal corporate income tax rate. The taxable equivalent adjustment was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $1.1 million for the same period of 2021.
 
Average interest earning assets for the first half of 2022 decreased by $17.3 million, or 0.2%, to $8,908 million for the first half of 2022, compared to $8,925 million for the first half of 2021. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased by 7 basis points to 3.88% for the first half of 2022, compared to 3.95% for the first half of 2021.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included purchase accounting accretion of $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, related to the acquisitions of NewDominion and Carolina Alliance, as well as $2.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of interest income related to payments received on certain SEPH nonaccrual loan relationships, some of which are participated with PNB. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 also included $2.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of income related to PPP loans. Excluding the impact of the purchase accounting accretion, SEPH income, and PPP income, the yield on loans was 4.29% and 4.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the yield on earning assets was 3.76% and 3.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses

The provision for (recovery of) credit losses is the amount subtracted from/added to the allowance for credit losses to ensure the allowance is sufficient to absorb estimated credit losses over the life of a loan. The amount of the provision for (recovery of) credit losses is determined by management based on relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets.

The adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2021 resulted in a $6.1 million increase to the allowance for credit losses and a $3.9 million increase to the allowance for unfunded credit losses. A cumulative effect adjustment resulting in an $8.0 million decrease to retained earnings and a $2.1 million increase to deferred tax assets was also recorded.

The allowance for credit losses of $81.4 million at June 30, 2022 represented a $2.6 million, or 3.3%, increase compared to $78.9 million at March 31, 2022. The increase was largely due to a $2.2 increase in general reserves, taking into consideration deterioration in economic forecasts, inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, and geopolitical conflict (including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine), while balancing a decrease in risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in high risk loan portfolios such as hotel and accommodations, restaurants and food service and strip shopping centers.

The allowance for credit losses of $78.9 million at March 31, 2022 represented a $4.3 million, or 5.2%, decrease compared to

Table of Contents


$83.2 million at December 31, 2021. The decline was largely due to a $4.2 million decrease in general reserves, taking into consideration improvement in economic forecasts and a decrease in risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in high risk loan portfolios such as hotel and accommodations, restaurants and food service and strip shopping centers while balancing risks associated with inflationary pressures and geopolitical conflict (including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine). See the section entitled "Allowance for Credit Losses" for further details.

Generally, management obtains updated valuations for all nonperforming loans at least annually. As new valuation information is received, management performs an evaluation and applies a discount for anticipated disposition costs to determine the net realizable value of the collateral, which is compared against the outstanding principal balance to determine if additional write-downs are necessary.

Nonperforming Assets: Nonperforming assets include: (1) loans whose interest is accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; (2) TDRs on accrual status; (3) loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments but whose interest continues to accrue; (4) commercial loans held for sale that were previously classified as nonperforming; (5) OREO which results from taking possession of property that served as collateral for a defaulted loan; and (6) other nonperforming assets. At December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, other nonperforming assets consisted of aircraft acquired as part of a loan workout. There were no other nonperforming assets at June 30, 2022.

The following table compares Park’s nonperforming assets at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

Park classifies loans as nonaccrual when a loan (1) is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower, (2) payment in full of principal or interest is not expected, or (3) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days for commercial loans and 120 days for all other loans. As a result, loans may be classified as nonaccrual despite being current with their contractual terms. The following table details the delinquency status of nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Loans are classified as current if they are less than 30 days past due.

Credit Quality Indicators: When determining the quarterly credit loss provision, Park reviews the grades of commercial loans. These loans are graded from 1 to 8. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans that are pass-rated (graded an 1 through a 4) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher PD is applied to these loans. Commercial loans graded a 6 (substandard), also considered to be watch list credits, represent higher credit risk than those rated special mention and, as a result, a higher PD is applied to these loans. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonperforming and Park charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged-off.

The following table highlights the credit trends within the commercial loan portfolio.

Park had $64.9 million of collectively evaluated commercial loans included on the watch list at June 30, 2022, compared to $75.4 million at December 31, 2021, and $95.1 million at June 30, 2021. The existing conditions of these loans do not warrant classification as nonaccrual. However, these loans have shown some weakness and management performs additional analysis regarding each borrower's ability to comply with payment terms.

The $64.9 million of collectively evaluated commercial watch list loans as of June 30, 2022 was elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels, an increase of $38.1 million compared to $26.8 million at March 31, 2020. This $38.1 million increase was largely due to $43.7 million of hotels and accommodations loans that were downgraded to special mention as a result of the impact of COVID-19 offset by problem loan resolutions. In addition to the $43.7 million in hotels and accommodations loans that were downgraded to special mention, $3.5 million in hotels and accommodations loans were downgraded to nonaccrual status. Park is closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 and related economic recovery on its borrowers' ability to repay their loans in accordance with contractual terms. As additional information becomes available, management will continue to evaluate loans to ensure appropriate risk classification.

Individually Evaluated Loans: Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Park has determined that any commercial loans which have been placed on nonaccrual status or classified as TDRs will be individually evaluated. Individual analysis will establish a specific reserve for loans in scope.  Specific reserves on individually evaluated commercial loans are typically based on management’s best estimate of the fair value of collateral securing these loans. The amount ultimately charged off for these loans may be different from the specific reserve as the ultimate liquidation of the collateral may be for an amount different from management’s estimate.

Individually evaluated commercial loans were $42.5 million at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $32.0 million, compared to $74.5 million at December 31, 2021 and a decrease of $44.4 million, compared to $86.9 million at June 30, 2021. The $42.5 million of individually evaluated commercial loans at June 30, 2022 included $10.5 million of loans modified in a TDR which are currently on accrual status and performing in accordance with the restructured terms, down from $17.5 million at December 31, 2021.

At June 30, 2022, Park had taken partial charge-offs of $382,000 related to the $42.5 million of individually evaluated commercial loans, compared to partial charge-offs of $624,000 related to the $74.5 million of individually evaluated commercial loans at December 31, 2021.

Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality: In conjunction with the NewDominion acquisition, Park acquired loans with a book value of $277.9 million as of the July 1, 2018 acquisition date. These loans were recorded at the initial fair value of $272.8 million. Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality (ASC 310-30) with a book value of $5.1 million were recorded at the initial fair value of $4.9 million. In conjunction with the Carolina Alliance acquisition, Park acquired loans and leases with a book value of $589.7 million as of the April 1, 2019 acquisition date. These loans and leases were recorded at the initial

fair value of $578.6 million. Loans and leases acquired with deteriorated credit quality (ASC 310-30) with a book value of $19.9 million were recorded at the initial fair value of $18.4 million

Upon adoption of CECL on January 1, 2021, $52,000 of the credit discount on PCD loans were reclassified to the allowance for credit losses. PCD loans are individually evaluated on a quarterly basis to determine if a specific reserve is necessary. At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no allowance for credit losses on PCD loans. The carrying amount of loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $5.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses: The allowance for credit losses is calculated on a quarterly basis. The methodology for calculating the ACL and assumptions made as of June 30, 2022 are detailed below.

Quantitative Considerations
The ACL is primarily calculated utilizing a DCF model. Key inputs and assumption used in this model are discussed below:

Forecast model - For each portfolio segment, a LDA was performed in order to identify appropriate loss drivers and create a regression model for use in forecasting cash flows. The LDA analysis utilized Park's own FFIEC Call Report data for the commercial, financial and agricultural and residential real estate portfolio segments. Peer data was incorporated into the analysis for the commercial real estate, construction real estate, and consumer portfolio segments. Park plans to update the LDA annually; however, due to the impact of COVID-19, the LDA analysis was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Probability of default – PD is the probability that an asset will be in default within a given time frame. Park has defined default to be when a charge-off has occurred, a loan is nonaccrual, or a loan is greater than 90 days past due. Whenever possible, Park utilizes its own loan-level PDs for the reasonable and supportable forecast period. When loan level-data is not available reflecting the forecasted economic conditions, a forecast model is utilized to estimate PDs.
Loss given default – LGD is the percentage of the asset not expected to be collected due to default. Whenever possible, Park utilizes its own loan-level LGDs for the reasonable and supportable forecast period. When it is not possible to use Park's own LGDs, the LGD is derived using a method referred to as Frye Jacobs.
Prepayments and curtailments – Prepayments and curtailments are calculated based on Park’s own data utilizing a three-year average. This analysis is updated annually in the fourth quarter and was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Forecast and reversion – Park has established a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period with a one-year straight line reversion to the long-term historical average.
Economic forecast - Park utilizes a third party to provide economic forecasts under various scenarios, which are weighted in order to reflect model risk in the current economic environment. The scenario weighting is evaluated by management on a quarterly basis.
As of December 31, 2021, the "most likely" scenario forecasted Ohio unemployment between 3.32% and 3.97%, during the next four quarters. In determining the appropriate weighting of scenarios at December 31, 2021, management considered the range of forecasted unemployment as well as a number of economic indicators. While some economic indications continued to be optimistic, the Omicron variant, rising inflation, volatility in consumer confidence, employment, supply chain and workforce challenges continued to cause uncertainty in the overall economic environment. Considering these factors, management determined it was appropriate to maintain the previous quarter weighting, and weigh the "most likely" scenario 50% and the "moderate recession" scenario 50% at December 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2022, the "most likely" scenario forecasted Ohio unemployment between 3.36% and 3.75%, during the next four quarters. In determining the appropriate weighting of scenarios at March 31, 2022, management considered the range of forecasted unemployment as well as a number of economic indicators. While some economic indications were optimistic, the surging inflation, volatility in consumer confidence, workforce challenges, and geopolitical conflict (including the conflict in Ukraine) continued to cause uncertainty in the overall economic environment. Considering these factors, management determined it was appropriate to maintain the previous quarter weighting, and weigh the "most likely" scenario 50% and the "moderate recession" scenario 50% at March 31, 2022. Improved forecasts, largely in the "moderate recession" scenario, resulted in a 4 basis point decline in the weighted quantitative allowance.
As of June 30, 2022, the "most likely" scenario forecasted Ohio unemployment between 3.36% and 3.57%, during the next four quarters. In determining the appropriate weighting of scenarios at June 30, 2022, management considered the range of forecasted unemployment as well as a number of economic indicators. While some economic indications were optimistic, the surging inflation, declining consumer confidence, rising interest rates, geopolitical conflict (including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine), and workforce

and supply chain challenges continued to cause uncertainty to the overall economic environment. Considering these factors, management determined it was appropriate to maintain the previous quarter weighting, and weigh the "most likely" scenario 50% and the "moderate recession" scenario 50% at June 30, 2022. Deteriorating forecasts, largely in the "moderate recession" scenario resulted in a 4 basis point increase in the weighted quantitative allowance.

Qualitative Considerations
Park reviews various internal and external factors to consider the need for any qualitative adjustments to the quantitative model. Factors considered include the following:
The nature and volume of Park’s financial assets; the existence, growth, and effect of any concentrations of credit and the volume and severity of past due financial assets, the volume of nonaccrual assets, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded assets. Specifically, management considers:
Trends (e.g., growth, reduction) in specific categories of the loan portfolio, as well as adjustments to the types of loans offered by Park.
Level of and trend in loan delinquencies, troubled loans, commercial watch list loans and nonperforming loans.
Level of and trend in new nonaccrual loans.
Level of and trend in loan charge-offs and recoveries.
Park's lending policies and procedures, including changes in lending strategies, underwriting standards and practices for collections, write-offs and recoveries.
The quality of Park’s credit review function.
The experience, ability, and depth of Park’s lending, investment, collection, and other relevant management and staff.
The effect of other external factors such as the regulatory, legal and technological environments; competition; geopolitical conflict; and events such as natural disasters or pandemics.
Actual and expected changes in international, national, regional and local economic and business conditions and developments in the markets in which Park operates that affect the collectibility of financial assets.
Where the U.S. economy is within a given credit cycle.
The extent that there is government assistance (stimulus).

During 2020, Park added an additional reserve for three industries at particularly high risk due to the COVID-19 pandemic: hotels and accommodations; restaurants and food service; and strip shopping centers. These industries have experienced high levels of deferrals and have been particularly impacted by shut downs of non-essential businesses, increased health department regulations, and changes in consumer behavior. Management expects that a relatively higher percentage of the 4-rated credits in these portfolios will eventually migrate to special mention, substandard, or doubtful. In adopting CECL, management determined it was appropriate to retain this qualitative adjustment as this adjustment takes into account the additional risk in these portfolios, which is not captured in the quantitative calculation Even though COVID-19 case numbers have declined since December 31, 2021, these industries are still recovering from the pandemic effects. As of June 30, 2022, additional reserves totaling $2.6 million were added for these portfolios on top of the quantitative reserve already calculated. This is a decrease from $5.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and reflects improvement in COVID-19 cases, eased COVID-19 health department precautions and improving affected industry performance. Management believes there is still residual risk in these portfolios related to pandemic effects and uncertainty in future COVID-19 strains and related impacts.

A breakout of the 4-rated balances within these portfolios and the additional reserve related to these portfolios is detailed in the following table.

Additionally, at June 30, 2022, management applied a 0.75% reserve to all hotels and accommodations loans in the collectively evaluated population to account for increased valuation risk. This 0.75% reserve was reduced from 1.00% at December 31, 2021. At June 30, 2022, Park's originated hotels and accommodation loans had a balance of $199.0 million with an additional

reserve related to valuation risks of $1.5 million. At December 31, 2021, Park's originated hotels and accommodation loans had a balance of $203.9 million with an additional reserve related to valuation risks of $2.0 million.

As of June 30, 2022, Park had $13.4 million of PPP loans which were included in the commercial, financial and agricultural portfolio segment. These loans are guaranteed by the SBA and thus have not been reserved for using the same methodology as the rest of Park’s loan portfolio. A 10 basis point reserve was calculated for these loans to reflect minimal credit risk.

Other Income
 
Other income decreased by $45,000 to $31.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $31.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 and decreased $2.5 million to $62.8 million for the first half of 2022, compared to $65.3 million for the first half of 2021.

The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to a decrease in other service income and miscellaneous income, partially offset by increases in income from fiduciary activities, service charges on deposit accounts, bank owned life insurance income, gain on equity securities, net, and other components of net periodic pension benefit income.

The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to a decrease in other service income and miscellaneous income, partially offset by increases in income from fiduciary activities, service charges on deposit accounts, bank owned life insurance income, gain on equity securities, net, and other components of net periodic pension benefit income.

Other service income decreased by $2.2 million, or 31.0%, to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $7.2 million for the same period of 2021. The primary reason for the decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was a decrease in fee income related to mortgage loan originations to be sold in the secondary market of $3.1 million, which was partially offset by an increase in investor rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale of $257,000 and a $432,000 increase in commercial fee income. Mortgage origination volume decreased by $104.8 million, or 40.9%, to $151.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $256.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Other service income decreased by $7.0 million, or 41.8%, to $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $16.8 million for the same period of 2021. The primary reasons for the decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 were a decrease in fee income related to mortgage loan originations to be sold in the secondary market of $7.8 million and a decrease in mortgage servicing rights income of $929,000, which were partially offset by an increase in investor rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale of $1.2 million. Mortgage origination volume decreased by $248.6 million, or 44.4%, to $311.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $560.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The increases for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021 were due to an increase in received death benefits.

Gain on equity securities, net, increased $242,000, to a net gain of $709,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net gain of $467,000 for the same period in 2021 and increased $785,000 to a net gain of $3.1 million for the six month ended June 30, 2022 compared to a net gain of $2.3 million for the same period in 2021. The $242,000 increase for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was related to a $658,000 increase in gain (loss) on other equity securities which went from a $39,000 loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to a $619,000 gain for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was offset by a $416,000 decrease in the gain on equity securities held at NAV, declining from a $506,000 gain for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to a $90,000 gain for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Items Impacting Comparability

From time to time, revenue, expenses, and/or taxes are impacted by items judged by management of Park to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by management of Park at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature. Most often, these items impacting comparability of period results relate to merger and acquisition activities and revenue and expenses related to former Vision Bank loan relationships. In other cases, they may result from management's decisions associated with significant corporate actions outside of the ordinary course of business.

The following table details those items which management believes impact the comparability of current and prior period amounts.

Income Tax
 
Income tax expense was $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2022 and consisted of federal income tax expense of $7.4 million and state income tax expense of $341,000. This compares to income tax expense of $8.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 which consisted of federal income tax expense of $8.3 million and state income tax expense of $264,000. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 18.5%, compared to 18.0% for the same period in 2021. Income tax expense was $15.5 million for the first half of 2022 and consisted of federal income tax expense of $14.8 million and state income tax expense of $646,000. This compares to income tax expense of $17.6 million for the first half of 2021 which consisted of federal income tax expense of $17.1 million and state income tax expense of $529,000. The effective income tax rate for the first half of 2022 was 17.4%, compared to 17.7% for the same period in 2021.

The difference between the statutory federal corporate income tax rate of 21% and Park's effective income tax rate reflects permanent tax differences, primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from municipal investments and loans, qualified affordable housing and historical tax credits, bank owned life insurance income, and dividends paid on the common shares held within Park's salary deferral plan offset by the impact of state income taxes. Park expects permanent federal income tax differences for the 2022 year will be approximately $6.9 million.

Comparison of Financial Condition
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021
 
Changes in Financial Condition
 
Total assets increased by $266.4 million, or 2.8%, during the first six months of 2022 to $9,827 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $9,560 million at December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to the following:

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $27.3 million, or 12.4%, to $246.4 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $219.2 million at December 31, 2021. Money market instruments were $75.3 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $74.7 million at December 31, 2021 and cash and due from banks were $171.1 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $144.5 million at December 31, 2021.
Investment securities increased $105.3 million, or 5.8%, to $1,921 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $1,815 million at December 31, 2021.
Loans increased by $87.6 million, or 1.3%, to $6,959 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $6,871 million at December 31, 2021. PPP loans were $13.4 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $74.4 million at December 31, 2021.
Prepaid assets increased by $8.4 million, or 5.9%, to $152.6 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $144.1 million at December 31, 2021.
Other assets increased by $26.5 million, or 261.2%, to $36.7 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $10.2 million at December 31, 2021. This was primarily related to an increase in deferred tax assets.

Total liabilities increased by $327.2 million, or 3.9%, during the first six months of 2022 to $8,777 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $8,449 million at December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to the following:

Total deposits increased by $393.1 million, or 5.0%, to $8,298 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $7,905 million at December 31, 2021. During 2020, Park made the decision to participate in an OWS program in order to manage the balance sheet. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Park had $809.8 million and $983.1 million, respectively, in off-balance sheet deposits.
Short-term borrowings decreased by $67.0 million, or 28.1%, to $171.8 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $238.8 million at December 31, 2021.
Unfunded commitments in affordable housing tax credit investments decreased by $7.3 million, or 25.5%, to $21.2 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $28.5 million at December 31, 2021.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased by $60.7 million, or 5.5%, to $1,050.0 million at June 30, 2022, from $1,110.8 million at December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to the following:

Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of taxes changed by $100.6 million, from a positive $15.2 million at December 31, 2021, to a negative $85.4 million at June 30, 2022, largely as a result of unrealized net holding losses on debt securities AFS, net of taxes, of $100.8 million.
Retained earnings increased by $37.9 million during the period primarily as a result of net income of $73.2 million, partially offset by cash dividends on common shares of $34.3 million.

Treasury shares decreased by $3.0 million during the period as a result of the issuance of treasury shares under share-based compensation awards (net of common shares withheld to pay employee income taxes).
 
Increases or decreases in the investment securities portfolio, short-term borrowings and long-term debt are greatly dependent upon the growth in loans and deposits. The primary objective of management is to grow loan and deposit totals. To the extent that management is unable to grow loan totals at a desired growth rate, additional investment securities may be acquired. Likewise, both short-term borrowings and long-term debt are utilized to fund the growth in earning assets if the growth in deposits and cash flow from operations are not sufficient to do so.
 
Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities was $56.5 million and $80.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net income was the primary source of cash from operating activities for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Cash used in investing activities was $318.4 million and $184.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Proceeds from the sale, repayment, or maturity of investment securities provide cash and purchases of investment securities use cash. Net investment securities transactions used cash of $216.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and used cash of $308.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Another major use or source of cash in investing activities is the net increase or decrease in the loan portfolio. Cash used by the net increase in the loan portfolio was $91.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and cash provided by the net decrease in the loan portfolio was $136.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Cash provided by financing activities was $289.2 million and $541.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A major source of cash for financing activities is the net change in deposits. Deposits (net of off-balance sheet deposits) increased and provided $393.1 million and $642.3 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Another major source/use of cash from financing activities is borrowings in the form of short-term borrowings, long-term debt and subordinated notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net short-term borrowings decreased and used $67.0 million in cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net short-term borrowings decreased and used $56.4 million in cash and net long-term borrowings decreased and used $5.0 million in cash. Finally, cash declined by $34.5 million and $37.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, from the payment of dividends.

Effective liquidity management ensures that the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as the operating cash needs of the Corporation, are met. Funds are available from a number of sources, including the capital markets, the investment securities portfolio, the core deposit base, FHLB borrowings and the capability to securitize or package loans for sale. The Corporation’s loan to asset ratio was 70.81% at June 30, 2022, compared to 71.87% at December 31, 2021 and 70.72% at June 30, 2021. Cash and cash equivalents were $246.4 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $219.2 million at December 31, 2021 and $807.4 million at June 30, 2021. Management believes that the present funding sources provide more than adequate liquidity for the Corporation to meet its cash flow needs.

Capital Resources
 
Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2022 was $1,050.0 million, or 10.7% of total assets, compared to $1,110.8 million, or 11.6% of total assets, at December 31, 2021 and $1,069.4 million, or 10.7% of total assets, at June 30, 2021.
 
Financial institution regulators have established guidelines for minimum capital ratios for banks, thrifts and bank holding companies. Park has elected not to include the net unrealized gain or loss on debt securities AFS in computing regulatory capital. Park has adopted the Basel III regulatory capital framework as approved by the federal banking agencies. Under the Basel III regulatory capital framework, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, Park must hold a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The amounts shown below as the adequately capitalized ratio plus capital conservation buffer include the 2.50% buffer. The Federal Reserve Board has also adopted capital requirements Park must maintain to be deemed "well capitalized" and remain a financial holding company.

Park and PNB met each of the well capitalized ratio guidelines applicable to them at June 30, 2022. The following table indicates the capital ratios for PNB and Park at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
 
In the ordinary course of operations, Park enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as leases for premises. See page 79 of Park’s 2021 Form 10-K (Table 39) for disclosure concerning contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2021. There were no other significant changes in contractual obligations and commitments during the first six months of 2022.
 
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
 
PNB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
 
The exposure to credit loss (for PNB) in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. PNB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Since many of

the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.
 
The total amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk were as follows:

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Management reviews interest rate sensitivity on a monthly basis by modeling the consolidated financial statements under various interest rate scenarios. The primary reason for these efforts is to guard Park from adverse impacts of unforeseen changes in interest rates. Management continues to believe that further changes in interest rates will have a small impact on net income, consistent with the disclosure on page 79 of Park’s 2021 Form 10-K.
 
On page 78 (Table 38) of Park’s 2021 Form 10-K, management reported that Park’s twelve-month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $1,895.3 million or 21.70% of total interest earning assets at December 31, 2021. At June 30, 2022, Park’s twelve-month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $1,589.0 million or 17.53% of total interest earning assets.
 
Management supplements the interest rate sensitivity gap analysis with periodic simulations of balance sheet sensitivity under various interest rate and what-if scenarios to better forecast and manage the net interest margin. Management uses a 50 basis point change in market interest rates per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year in evaluating the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and net income over a twelve-month horizon.
 
On page 79 of Park’s 2021 Form 10-K, management reported that at December 31, 2021, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 7.5% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by 15.1% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. At June 30, 2022, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 3.7% using a rising interest rate scenario and would decrease by 7.4% in a declining interest rate scenario. At June 30, 2022, management continues to believe that gradual changes in interest rates (50 basis points per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year) will have a small impact on net income.
 
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
With the participation of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer (the principal financial officer) of Park, Park’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of Park’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2022 (the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Based on that evaluation, Park’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Park’s Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer have concluded that:
 
information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Park’s management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;
information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and
Park’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022 (the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.       Legal Proceedings

    There are no pending legal proceedings to which Park or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject, except for routine legal proceedings which Park's subsidiaries are parties to incidental to their respective businesses. Park considers none of those proceedings to be material.

Item 1A.     Risk Factors
 
There are certain risks and uncertainties in our business that could cause Park's actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Park’s 2021 Form 10-K, we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. All of these risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating Park's business and in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described in Park's 2021 Form 10-K could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. These are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
