At March 31, 2019, Sonabank had thirty-eight full-service retail branches in Virginia, located in the counties of Chesterfield (2), Essex (2), Fairfax (Reston, McLean and Fairfax), Gloucester (2), Hanover (3), King William, Lancaster, Middlesex (3), New Kent, Northumberland (3), Southampton, Surry, Sussex, and in Charlottesville, Clifton Forge, Colonial Heights, Front Royal, Hampton, Haymarket, Leesburg, Middleburg, New Market, Newport News, Richmond, South Riding, Warrenton, and Williamsburg, and seven full-service retail branches in Maryland, in Rockville, Shady Grove, Bethesda, Upper Marlboro, Brandywine, Owings and Huntingtown.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southern National and its subsidiaries Sonabank and EVB Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”). Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Southern National consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50 percent of the voting rights or where it exercises control. Entities where Southern National holds 20 to 50 percent of the voting rights, or has the ability to exercise significant influence, or both, are accounted for under the equity method. Southern National has an interest in one affiliate, Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC (“STM”), which it accounts for as an equity method investment. In addition, Southern National owns the Trust which is an unconsolidated subsidiary. The junior subordinated debt owed to the Trust is reported as a liability of Southern National.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions for Form 10‑Q and follow general practice within the banking industry. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Southern National’s Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Southern National records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under Topic 606, we must identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. Significant revenue has not been recognized in the current reporting period that results from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

Our primary sources of revenue are derived from financial instruments, namely loans, investment securities, and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of Topic 606. We have evaluated the nature of the Company’s contracts with customers and determined that further disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers into more granular categories beyond what is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income was not necessary. Southern National generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed; charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little

judgment involved in applying Topic 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.

Operating Leases

The Company leases certain properties and equipment under operating leases. For leases in effect upon adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) at January 1, 2019 and for any leases commencing thereafter, the Company recognizes a liability to make lease payments, the operating lease liability, and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term, the right-of-use asset. The operating lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at inception. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the operating lease liability adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term, any unamortized initial direct costs, and any impairment of the right-of-use-asset. Lease expense consists of a single lease cost calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis, variable lease payments not included in the operating lease liability, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset.

Certain of the Company’s leases contain options to renew the lease; however, these renewal options are not included in the calculation of the operating lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company’s leases do not contain residual value guarantees or material variable lease payments. The Company does not have any material restrictions or covenants imposed by leases that would impact the Company’s ability to pay dividends or cause the Company to incur additional financial obligations.  

The Company has made an accounting policy election to not apply the recognition requirements in Topic 842 to short-term leases. The Company has also elected to use the practical expedient to make an accounting policy election for property leases to use the discount rates in effect on January 2, 2019 for the remaining life of the leases.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of investment securities, other than temporary impairment of investment securities and the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Standards:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, which updates narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02. The amendments in this ASU were effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early adoption of this ASU was permitted for all entities. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019 and inventoried and categorized its lease agreements. Upon adoption, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and associated operating lease liabilities of $8.3 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets. The company currently does not have any finance leases. See Note 5 – Leases for additional disclosures related to leases.

Table of Contents

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date.  The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity.  ASU 2017-08 became effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  The company adopted ASU 2017-08 in the first quarter of 2019 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements. This ASU makes changes to a variety of topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification. The majority of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 were effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2018-09 in the first quarter of 2019 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:

In June 2016,  the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which sets forth a “current expected credit loss” ("CECL") model requiring the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Southern National has engaged a third-party to collect data that will be needed to produce historical inputs into any models created as a result of adopting this ASU. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates the second step of the previous FASB guidance for testing goodwill for impairment and is intended to reduce cost and complexity of goodwill impairment testing. The amendments in this ASU modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. After determining if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the entity should take an impairment charge of the same amount to the goodwill for that reporting unit, not to exceed the total goodwill amount for that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Southern National is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value measurement (Topic 820). This ASU adds, eliminates and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The disclosures are effective using the prospective method for certain disclosures and retrospective for majority of the disclosures. Southern National is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

 

2.      STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan that authorized the reservation of up to 302,500 shares of common stock and provided for the granting of stock options to certain directors, officers and employees. The 2010 Stock Awards and Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in January 2010 and approved by the stockholders at the Annual Stockholder Meeting in April 2010. The 2010 Plan

8


 

Table of Contents

authorized the reservation of an additional 700,000 shares of common stock for the granting of stock awards. The options granted to officers and employees are incentive stock options and the options granted to non-employee directors are non-qualified stock options. The purpose of the plan is to afford key employees an incentive to remain in the employment of Southern National and to assist in the attracting and retaining of non-employee directors by affording them an opportunity to share in Southern National’s future success. Under the plan, the option’s price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The maximum term of the options is ten years and options granted may be subject to a graded vesting schedule.

At the June 21, 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Southern National, the 2017 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2017 Plan”) was approved as recommended by the Board of Directors. The 2017 Plan replaced the 2010 Plan and has a maximum number of 750,000 shares reserved for issuance. The purpose of the 2017 Plan is to promote the success of the Company by providing greater incentive to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors to associate their personal interests with the long-term financial success of the Company, including its subsidiaries, and with growth in stockholder value, consistent with the Company’s risk management practices. Because the 2017 Plan was approved, shares under the 2004 stock-option plan or 2010 Plan will no longer be awarded.

A summary of the activity in the stock option plan during the three months ended March 31, 2019 follows:

Stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options was $21 thousand and $39 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, unrecognized compensation expense associated with stock options was $71 thousand, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

In 2019, 48,500 shares of restricted stock were granted at a weighted average exercise price of $14.15 to certain officers of Southern National under the 2017 Plan and are subject to vesting in five years. These shares are included in the total shares outstanding at March 31, 2019. In 2019, 2,700 shares of restricted stock granted to certain officers of Southern National under the 2017 Plan were forfeited. Restricted stock compensation expense totaled $83 thousand and $6 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, unrecognized compensation expense associated with restricted stock was $1.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.4 years.

Investment securities with a carrying amount of approximately $160.0 million and $165.7 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, certain other deposits, a line of credit for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Atlanta, and repurchase agreements.

Southern National monitors the portfolio for indicators of other than temporary impairment. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, certain investment securities’ fair values were below cost. As outlined in the table below, there were investment securities with fair values totaling approximately $192.0 million in the portfolio with the carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value that are considered temporarily impaired at March 31, 2019. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and market illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because we do not have the intent to sell these investment securities and it is likely that we will not be required to sell the investment securities before their anticipated recovery, management does not consider these investment securities to be other than temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2019.

Each of these investment securities has been evaluated for other than temporary impairment. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis of each investment security, Sonabank works with independent third parties to estimate expected cash flows and assist with the evaluation of other than temporary impairment. The cash flow analyses performed included the following assumptions:

·

0.5% of the remaining performing collateral will default or defer per annum.

·

Recoveries of 9% with a two year lag on all defaults and deferrals.

·

No prepayments for 10 years and then 1% per annum for the remaining life of the investment security.

·

Our investment securities have been modeled using the above assumptions by independent third parties using the forward LIBOR curve to discount projected cash flows to present values.

We recognized no other than temporary impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Includes $18.7 million and $18.3 million of loans as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, acquired in the Greater Atlantic Bank (“GAB”) transaction covered under an FDIC loss-share agreement. The agreement covering single family loans expires in December 2019.

 

In the first quarter of 2019, $33.9 million of commercial loans were reclassified into loans secured by real estate, upon review and validation of collateral and Call Report codes.

 

Accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical policy given the level of estimation, judgment, and uncertainty in the levels of the allowance required to account for the inherent probable losses in the loan portfolio and the material effect such estimation, judgment, and uncertainty can have on the consolidated financial results.

Table of Contents

As part of the GAB acquisition, the Bank and the FDIC entered into loss sharing agreements on approximately $143.4 million (contractual basis) of GAB’s assets. There were two agreements with the FDIC: one for single family loans which is a 10‑year agreement expiring in December 2019, and one for non-single family (commercial) assets which was a 5‑year agreement which expired in December 2014. The Bank will continue to share in the losses on the loans and foreclosed loan collateral with the FDIC as specified in the loss sharing agreement related to single family loans; we refer to these assets collectively as “covered assets.”  Loans that are not covered in the loss sharing agreement are referred to as “non-covered loans”. Covered loans totaled $18.7 million and $18.3 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Accretable discount on the acquired EVBS, GAB, Prince George’s Federal Savings Bank (“PGFSB”), and the HarVest Bank (“HarVest”) loans totaled $12.6 million and $13.5 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Accretion of $749 thousand and $816 thousand associated with the acquired loans held for investment was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

For the three acquisitions subsequent to the GAB acquisition noted above, management sold the majority of the purchased credit impaired loans immediately after closing of the acquisition.

Impaired loans for the covered and non-covered portfolios were as follows (in thousands):

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A modification is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if both of the following exist: (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) the Bank has granted a concession to the borrower. The Bank determines that a borrower may be experiencing financial difficulty if the borrower is currently delinquent on any of its debt, or if the Bank is concerned that the borrower may not be able to perform in accordance with the current terms of the loan agreement in the foreseeable future. Many aspects of the borrower’s financial situation are assessed when determining whether they are experiencing financial difficulty, particularly as it relates to commercial borrowers due to the complex nature of the loan structure, business/industry risk and borrower/guarantor structures. Concessions may include the reduction of an interest rate at a rate lower than current market rate for a new loan with similar risk, extension of the maturity date, reduction of accrued interest, or principal forgiveness. When evaluating whether a concession has been granted, the Bank also considers whether the borrower has provided additional collateral or guarantors and whether such additions adequately compensate the Bank for the restructured terms, or if the revised terms are consistent with those currently being offered to new loan customers. The assessments of whether a borrower is experiencing (or is likely to experience) financial difficulty and whether a concession has been granted is subjective in nature and management’s judgment is required when determining whether a modification is a TDR.

Although each occurrence is unique to the borrower and is evaluated separately, for all portfolio segments, TDRs are typically modified through reduction in interest rates, reductions in payments, changing the payment terms from principal and interest to interest only, and/or extensions in term maturity.

As of March 31, 2019, we had two loans in TDRs. One loan was modified in TDRs during the year ending December 31, 2018. One TDR which had been modified in 2013 defaulted in 2015. This loan, in the amount of $656 thousand, was current as of March 31, 2019.

Credit Quality Indicators

Through its system of internal controls, Southern National evaluates and segments loan portfolio credit quality on a quarterly basis using regulatory definitions for Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful. Special Mention loans are considered to be criticized. Substandard and Doubtful loans are considered to be classified.

Special Mention loans are loans that have a potential weakness that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position.

Substandard loans may be inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful loans 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. Southern National had no loans classified Doubtful at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows (in thousands):

5.      LEASES

 

The Company leases certain premises and equipment under operating leases. At March 31, 2019, the Company had operating lease liabilities totaling $8.9 million and right-of-use assets totaling $7.8 million related to these leases. Operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. We do not currently have any financing leases. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our net operating lease cost was $586 thousand and was reflected in occupancy expenses on our income statement.

6.     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

Southern National 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 commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and guarantees of credit card accounts. These instruments involve elements of credit and funding risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. Letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by Southern National to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. We had letters of credit outstanding totaling $19.2 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is based on the contractual amount of these instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, we do not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments are made predominately for adjustable rate loans, and generally have fixed expiration dates of up to three months or other termination clauses and usually require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $338.2 million and $339.2 million, respectively. Virtually all of our unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds are variable rate.

8.      FAIR VALUE

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability

Table of Contents

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis:

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, investment securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 investment securities include highly liquid government bonds and mortgage products. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of investment securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flow. Level 2 investment securities include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, investment securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, a majority of Southern National’s available for sale debt investment securities are considered to be Level 2 investment securities, except for a few corporate securities that are classified as Level 3 investment securities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-recurring Basis:

Impaired Loans

Generally, we measure the impairment for impaired loans considering the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by an independent appraisal or evaluation less estimated costs related to selling the collateral. In some cases appraised value is net of costs to sell. Estimated selling costs range from 6% to 10% of collateral valuation at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Loans identified as impaired totaled $18.6 million (including SBA guarantees of $4.8 million) as of March 31, 2019 with no allocation made to the allowance for loan losses compared to a carrying amount of $12.1 million (including SBA guarantees of $3.4 million) with no allocation made to the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2018.

Assets held for sale

In connection with the merger with EVBS, SNBV acquired four properties that were either former EVBS administrative locations or previously anticipated to be future EVBS administrative locations. Assets held for sale are measured at fair value less cost to sell, based on appraisals conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data. If the fair value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Company because of marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3. Assets held for sale are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in other noninterest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”)

OREO is evaluated at the time of acquisition and recorded at fair value as determined by independent appraisal or evaluation less cost to sell. In some cases appraised value is net of costs to sell. Selling costs have been in the range from 5.0% to 7.6% of collateral valuation at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. OREO is further evaluated quarterly for any additional impairment. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the total amount of OREO was $5.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents (including federal funds sold), equity investments in our mortgage affiliate, preferred investments in our mortgage affiliate, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, savings accounts, money market accounts, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and short-term debt (FHLB short-term advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase). Fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates for similar financing. Carrying amount of Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these securities are not readily marketable and are based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material. Fair value of net loans, certificates of deposits, junior subordinated debt, and senior subordinated notes are measured using the exit-price notion in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2016‑01 in 2018.

9.      SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE AND OTHER SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Other short-term borrowings can consist of FHLB of Atlanta overnight advances, other FHLB advances maturing within one year, federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repo”) that mature within one year, which are secured transactions with customers. The balance in repo accounts at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $13.6 million and $18.7 million, respectively.

10.     JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT AND SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

In connection with our merger with EVBS, the Company assumed $10.3 million (fair value adjustment of $801 thousand) of trust preferred securities that were issued on September 17, 2003 and placed through the Trust in a pooled underwriting totaling approximately $650 million. The trust issuer invested the total proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred

Table of Contents

securities in Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Junior Subordinated Debt”) issued by EVBS. The trust preferred securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.95%. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the interest rate was 5.56% and 5.73%, respectively. The dividends paid to holders of the trust preferred securities, which are recorded as interest expense, are deductible for income tax purposes. The trust preferred securities have a mandatory redemption date of September 17, 2033, and became subject to varying call provisions beginning on September 17, 2008. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the trust preferred securities through the combined operation of the Junior Subordinated Debt and other related documents. The Company’s obligation under the guarantee is unsecured and subordinate to senior and subordinated indebtedness of the Company.

The trust preferred securities may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of Tier 1 capital after its inclusion. At March 31, 2019, all of the trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1 capital.

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company is permitted to elect from time to time to defer regularly scheduled interest payments on its outstanding Junior Subordinated Debt relating to its trust preferred securities. If the Company defers interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debt for more than 20 consecutive quarters, the Company would be in default under the governing agreements for such notes and the amount due under such agreements would be immediately due and payable.

On January 20, 2017, Southern National completed the sale of $27.0 million of its fixed-to-floating rate Subordinated Notes due 2027 (the “SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes”). The SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes will initially bear interest at 5.875% per annum until January 31, 2022; thereafter, the SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes will be payable at an annual floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.95% until maturity or early redemption. At March 31, 2019, all of the SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes qualified as Tier 2 capital. At March 31, 2019, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to the SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes totaled $737 thousand.

Also in connection with our merger with EVBS, the Company assumed the Senior Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement previously entered into by EVBS on April 22, 2015 with certain institutional accredited investors pursuant to which EVBS sold $20.0 million (fair value adjustment of $1.9 million) in aggregate principal amount of its 6.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2025 (the “EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes”) to the investors at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes. The EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6.50%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year ending on May 1, 2020. From and including May 1, 2020 to, but excluding, the maturity date, the EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes will bear interest at an annual rate, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR determined on the determination date of the applicable interest period plus 502 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2020. The Company may, at its option, redeem, in whole or in part, the EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes as early as May 1, 2020, and any partial redemption would be made pro rata among all of the holders. At March 31, 2019 all of the EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes qualified as Tier 2 capital.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $6.0 million, or $0.25 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $8.3 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. 

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company had a nonrecurring other loss of $3.2 million and related legal expense of $502 thousand. 

For the first quarter of 2018, net income was impacted positively by the $1.2 million of accreted income from the acquired loan discounts, $1.5 million of income from recoveries of legacy investment securities and loans charged off by EVBS before it merged into Southern National in June of 2017, and the reduced federal income tax rate of 21% from 34% due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which became effective on January 1, 2018. 

 

Net Interest Income

Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend income on interest-earning assets such as loans and investments, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings.

Net interest income was $21.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to $22.5 million for the first quarter of 2018, which was a direct result of the rising costs of funds including deposits and borrowings. Southern National’s net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 3.41% compared to 3.66% for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 3.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Total income on interest-earning assets was $30.3 million and $28.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.94% and 4.75% for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest and fees on loans totaled $28.0 million and $26.0 million for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The accretion of the discount on loans acquired in the acquisitions of EVBS, Greater Atlantic Bank, HarVest and Prince Georges Federal Savings Bank contributed $816 thousand to net interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in accretion was due to the slowdown in acquired loan prepayments and payoffs. Average loans during the first quarter of 2019 were $2.16 billion compared to $2.08 billion during  the first quarter of 2018.

Total interest expense was $9.4 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  Interest on deposits was  $7.5 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total average interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 were $1.82 billion and $1.53 billion, respectively. The yield on total average interest-bearing deposits was 1.66% and 0.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  Interest expense on total average borrowings, which include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, junior subordinated debt, and senior subordinated notes, was $1.9 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total average borrowings were $214.0 million and $426.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is a current charge to earnings made in order to increase the allowance for loan losses to a level for inherent probable losses in the loan portfolio based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of lending, historical loan experience and other known internal and external factors affecting loan collectability. Our loan loss allowance is calculated by segmenting the loan portfolio by loan type and applying risk factors to each segment. The risk factors are determined by considering historical loss data, peer data, as well as applying management’s judgment.

The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $200 thousand and $1.6 million, respectively. Net charge offs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $609 thousand and $242 thousand, respectively.

Southern National had noninterest income of $3.1 million during the first quarter of 2019 and 2018.  Account maintenance and deposit service fees, which totaled $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2019,  increased $279 thousand compared to prior year. Income from bank-owned life insurance, which totaled $523 thousand for the first quarter of 2019, increased $216 thousand when compared to $307 thousand of income in first quarter of 2018. The first quarter increase was driven by income from the purchase of an additional $12.0 million in bank-owned life insurance early in the second quarter of 2018. Income from the investment in STM totaled $18 thousand during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the loss of ($317) thousand during the first quarter of 2018.  The increase was driven by strengthened management and operational improvements within STM. Other noninterest income, which totaled $243 thousand for the first quarter of 2019, increased $45 thousand when compared to the prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, other noninterest income has benefited, from $591 thousand of recoveries of legacy investment securities and loans charged off by EVBS premerger compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Noninterest expense was $16.3 million and $13.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in noninterest expenses was primarily due to a nonrecurring other loss of $3.2 million with related legal expense of $502 thousand during the first quarter of 2019. Employee compensation and benefits expense totaled $5.8 million and $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease was due to a reduction in staffing. Occupancy expenses and equipment expenses remained flat year over year. The Company recognized a gain of $2 thousand on the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) during the first quarter of 2019 compared to a $200 thousand loss for the first quarter of 2018. Other expenses totaled $6.0 million and $1.9 million for three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Overview

Total assets were $2.70 billion as of March 31, 2019 and as of December 31, 2018. Total loans decreased 1.0%, from $2.18 billion at December 31, 2018 to $2.16 billion at March 31, 2019, primarily due to unanticipated large loan payoffs of $50.0 million, partially offset by growth of $29.4 million during the first quarter of 2019. Total deposits were $2.11 billion at March 31, 2019 compared to $2.10 billion at December 31, 2018 and total equity was $352.7 million and $348.3 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Loan Portfolio

Loan demand remains strong in the Company’s markets. Loan growth in the first three months of 2019 of $29.4 million was offset by $40.0 million in five hospitality loans that paid off due to property sales and under-market rates offered by other financial institutions and a $10.0 million construction loan moved to a competitor on a nonrecourse basis. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2019, $33.9 million of commercial loans were reclassified into loans secured by real estate, upon review and validation of collateral and Call Report codes.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, substantially all of our loans were to customers located in Virginia and Maryland. We are not dependent on any single customer or group of customers whose insolvency would have a material adverse effect on operations.

Asset Quality

Asset quality remained high during the first three months of 2019. We will generally place a loan on nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days past due. Loans will also be placed on nonaccrual status in cases where we are uncertain whether the borrower can satisfy the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Cash payments received while a loan is categorized as nonaccrual will be recorded as a reduction of principal as long as doubt exists as to future collections.

We maintain appraisals on loans secured by real estate, particularly those categorized as nonperforming loans and potential problem loans. In instances where appraisals reflect reduced collateral values, we make an evaluation of the borrower’s overall financial condition to determine the need, if any, for impairment or write-down to their fair values. If foreclosure occurs, we record OREO at the lower of our recorded investment in the loan or fair value less our estimated costs to sell.

Table of Contents

Our loss and delinquency experience on our loan portfolio has been limited by a number of factors, including our underwriting standards and the relatively short period of time since the loans were originated. Whether our loss and delinquency experience in the area of our portfolio will increase significantly depends upon the value of the real estate securing loans and economic factors such as the overall economy of the region.

Other real estate owned ("OREO") at March 31, 2019 was $5.0 million compared to $5.1 million at December 31, 2018. 

Non-covered nonaccrual loans were $1.9 million (excluding $4.8 million of loans fully covered by SBA guarantees) at March 31, 2019 compared to $2.5 million (excluding $3.4 million of loans fully covered by SBA guarantees) as of December 31, 2018. The ratio of non-covered nonperforming assets (excluding the SBA guaranteed loans) to total non-covered assets decreased from 0.28% at December 31, 2018 to 0.26% at March 31, 2019.

Southern National’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total non-covered loans at March 31, 2019 was 0.56%, compared to 0.57% at December 31, 2018. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered non-acquired loans was 0.82% and 0.85% at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

We have an internal loan review and a loan committee, both of which provide on-going monitoring to identify and address issues with problem loans. The loan loss provision is determined after consideration of all known relevant internal and external factors affecting loan collectability to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level necessary to absorb estimated credit losses.

Each of these investment securities has been evaluated for potential impairment under accounting guidelines. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis of each investment security, Sonabank works with independent third parties to identify the most reflective estimate of the cash flow estimated to be collected. If this estimate results in a present value of expected cash flows that is less than the amortized cost basis of an investment security (that is, credit loss exists), an other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. If there is no credit loss, any impairment is considered temporary.

We recognized no other than temporary impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Liquidity and Funds Management

The objective of our liquidity management is to assure the ability to meet our financial obligations. These obligations include the payment of deposits on demand or at maturity, the repayment of borrowings at maturity and the ability to fund commitments and other new business opportunities. We obtain funding from a variety of sources, including customer

35


 

Table of Contents

deposit accounts, customer certificates of deposit and payments on our loans and investments. Historically, our level of core deposits has been insufficient to fully fund our lending activities. As a result, we have sought funding from additional sources, including institutional certificates of deposit and the sale of available for sale investment securities. In addition, we maintain lines of credit with the FHLB of Atlanta, federal funds lines of credit with three correspondent banks and utilize securities sold under agreements to repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement borrowings from approved securities dealers.

We prepare a cash flow forecast for one year with the first three months prepared on a weekly basis and on a monthly basis thereafter. The projections incorporate expected cash flows on loans, investment securities, and deposits based on data used to prepare our interest rate risk analyses. To estimate loan growth over the one year period, the projection incorporates the scheduled loan closings in the Loan Pipeline Report along with other management estimates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we funded our financial obligations with deposits, borrowings from the FHLB of Atlanta and the proceeds from issuance of the SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes in January 2018.  At March 31, 2019, we had $334.2 million of unfunded commitments. Management anticipates that funding requirements for these commitments can be met from the normal sources of funds.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are engaged primarily in the business of investing funds obtained from deposits and borrowings into interest-earning loans and investments. Consequently, our earnings depend to a significant extent on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income on loans and other investments and the interest expense on deposits and borrowings. To the extent that our interest-bearing liabilities do not reprice or mature at the same time as our interest-earning assets, we are subject to interest rate risk and corresponding fluctuations in net interest income. We have employed asset/liability management policies that seek to manage our net interest income, without having to incur unacceptable levels of credit or investment risk.

We use simulation modeling to manage our interest rate risk, and we review quarterly interest sensitivity reports prepared for us by FTN Financial using the Fiserv Prologue Risk Manager ALM Analysis System. This approach uses a model which generates estimates of the change in our economic value of equity (“EVE”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. EVE is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts using assumptions about estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates.

The following tables are based on an analysis prepared by FTN Financial setting forth an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated change in EVE resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve (plus 400 basis points or minus 200 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments) as of March 31, 2019 and as of December 31, 2018. All changes are within our Asset/Liability Risk Management Policy guidelines except for the change resulting from the 100 and 200 basis point decrease in interest rates at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Our interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through the use of a model run by FTN Financial that generates estimates of the change in the net interest income (“NII”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NII depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them. In this regard, the model assumes that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. All changes are within our Asset/Liability Risk Management Policy guidelines at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in EVE requires the making of certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, although the EVE tables and NII tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net worth and NII. Sensitivity of EVE and NII are modeled using different assumptions and approaches.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10‑Q, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) utilizing the framework established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.

Table of Contents

Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Southern National and Sonabank are from time to time a party, as both plaintiff and defendant, to various claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of the Bank’s business, including administrative and/or legal proceedings that may include employment-related claims, as well as claims of lender liability, breach of contract, and other similar lending-related claims. While the ultimate resolution of these matters cannot be determined at this time, the Bank’s management presently believes that such matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s financial condition or results of operations.
