NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We, Summit Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries, prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual year end financial statements.  In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature.

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with our 2018 audited financial statements and Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted
We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and its related amendments on its required effective date of January 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective approach. Since there was no net income impact upon adoption of the new guidance, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. The impact, deemed insignificant, to our consolidated financial position upon adoption was the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under non-cancellable operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets resulting in the recording of right of use assets and lease obligations of approximately $870,000 which is related to long-term operating leases of premises and leases of equipment used in operations. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our current minimum commitments under long-term operating leases are disclosed in Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies.
We adopted ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities on its required effective date of January 1, 2019. This guidance shortens the amortization period for premiums on certain callable debt securities to the earliest call date (with an explicit, noncontingent call feature that is callable at a fixed price and on a preset date), rather than contractual maturity date as currently required under GAAP. The ASU does not impact instruments without preset call dates such as mortgage-backed securities.  For instruments with contingent call features, once the contingency is resolved and the security is callable at a fixed price and preset date, the security is within the scope of the ASU.  The adoption of the new pronouncement did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Pending Adoption

During June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendments in this ASU are effective for SEC filers for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We will adopt the guidance by the first quarter of 2020 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. In this regard, we have a cross-functional implementation team comprised of personnel from risk management, operations and information technology, loan administration and finance and engaged a third-party to assist us. The team has developed a project plan, identified key decision points and prepared a readiness assessment and gap analysis relative to required data which serves to direct our areas of focus. In addition, we have collected applicable historical data and made preliminary decisions regarding methodology and loan pool structures. We will continue to evaluate the impact the new standard will have on our consolidated financial

statements as the final impact will be dependent, among other items, upon the loan portfolio composition and credit quality at the adoption date, as well as economic conditions, financial models used and forecasts at that time.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. Certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 are also removed or modified. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain of the amendments are to be applied prospectively while others are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.  Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below.

We held 93 available for sale securities having an unrealized loss at March 31, 2019.  We do not intend to sell these securities, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases.  We believe that this decline in value is primarily attributable to the lack of market liquidity and to changes in market interest rates and is not due to credit quality.  Accordingly, no other-than-temporary impairment charge to earnings is warranted at this time.

Provided below is a summary of securities available for sale which were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Impaired loans:  Impaired loans include the following:

Loans which we risk-rate (loan relationships having aggregate balances in excess of $2.5 million, or loans exceeding $500,000 and exhibiting credit weakness) through our normal loan review procedures and which, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement.   Risk-rated loans with insignificant delays or insignificant short falls in the amount of payments expected to be collected are not considered to be impaired.

Loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring.

Both commercial and consumer loans are deemed impaired upon being contractually modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Troubled debt restructurings typically result from our loss mitigation activities and occur when we grant a concession to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty in order to minimize our economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral.  Once restructured, a loan is generally considered impaired until its maturity, regardless of whether the borrower performs under the modified terms.  Although such a loan may be returned to accrual status if the criteria set forth in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are met, the loan would continue to be evaluated for an asset-specific allowance for loan losses and we would continue to report the loan in the impaired loan table below.

Included in impaired loans are TDRs of $27.8 million, of which $25.2 million were current with respect to restructured contractual payments at March 31, 2019, and $27 million, of which $26.6 million were current with respect to restructured contractual payments at December 31, 2018.  There were no commitments to lend additional funds under these restructurings at either balance sheet date.

The following tables present by class the TDRs that were restructured during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 . Generally, the modifications were extensions of term, modifying the payment terms from principal and interest to interest only for an extended period, or reduction in interest rate.  All TDRs are evaluated individually for allowance for loan loss purposes.

Long-term borrowings:  Our long-term borrowings of $730,000 and $735,000 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, consisted of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and structured repurchase agreements with unaffiliated institutions. All FHLB advances are collateralized primarily by similar amounts of residential mortgage loans, certain commercial loans, mortgage backed securities and securities of U. S. Government agencies and corporations.

Our long term FHLB borrowings bear both fixed and variable rates and mature in varying amounts through the year 2026.

The average interest rate paid on long-term borrowings and long-term repurchase agreements for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 was 5.34% compared to 4.28% for the first three months of 2018.

Subordinated debentures owed to unconsolidated subsidiary trusts:  We have three statutory business trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing mandatorily redeemable securities (the “capital securities”) for which we are obligated to third party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of the capital securities in our junior subordinated debentures (the “debentures”).  The debentures held by the trusts are their sole assets.  Our subordinated debentures totaled $19.6 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The capital securities held by SFG Capital Trust I, SFG Capital Trust II, and SFG Capital Trust III qualify as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines.  In accordance with these Guidelines, trust preferred securities generally are limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill.  The amount of trust preferred securities and certain other elements in excess of the limit can be included in Tier 2 capital.

NOTE 11.  SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2014 LTIP”) was adopted by our shareholders in May 2014 to enhance the ability of the Company to attract and retain exceptionally qualified individuals to serve as key employees. The LTIP provides for the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of common stock, in the form of equity awards including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), performance units, other stock-based awards or any combination thereof,  to our key employees. 

Stock options awarded under the 2009 Officer Stock Option Plan and the 1998 Officer Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) were not altered by the 2014 LTIP, and remain subject to the terms of the Plans.  However, under the terms of the 2014 LTIP, all shares of common stock remaining issuable under the Plans at the time the 2014 LTIP was adopted ceased to be available for future issuance.
 
Under the 2014 LTIP and the Plans, stock options and SARs have generally been granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of Summit's common stock on the grant date. We periodically grant employee stock options to individual employees. During first quarter 2019, we granted 109,819 SARs that become exercisable ratably over five years (20% per year) and expire ten years after the grant date and granted 28,306 SARS that become exercisable ratably over seven years (14.29% per year) and expire ten years after the grant date.


Table of Contents

The fair value of our employee stock options and SARs granted under the Plans is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that would otherwise have a significant effect on the value of employee stock options and SARs granted but are not considered by the model. Because our employee stock options and SARs have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options and SARs at the time of grant. The assumptions used to value SARs granted during 2019 were as follows:
 
5-year vesting SARs
7-year vesting SARs

We recognize compensation expense based on the estimated number of stock awards expected to actually vest, exclusive of the awards expected to be forfeited.  During the first three months of 2019 and 2018, our share-based compensation expense was $132,000 and $94,000 and the related deferred tax benefits were approximately $32,000 and $23,000.

NOTE 12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position.  The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement that we have in this class of financial instruments.

Many of our lending relationships contain both funded and unfunded elements.  The funded portion is reflected on our balance sheet.  The unfunded portion of these commitments is not recorded on our balance sheet until a draw is made under the loan facility.  Since many of the commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements.

A summary of the total unfunded, or off-balance sheet, credit extension commitments follows:

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 generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  We evaluate each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if we deem necessary upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or real estate.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

Operating leases

We occupy certain facilities under long-term operating leases.  The aggregate minimum annual rental commitments under those leases total approximately $177,000 in 2019 and $92,000 in 2020.  Total net rent expense included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements was $66,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Litigation

We are not a party to litigation except for matters that arise in the normal course of business.  While it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate resolution or range of financial liability if any, with respect to these contingent matters, in the opinion of management, the outcome of these matters will not have a significant adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 13.  REGULATORY MATTERS

Our bank subsidiary, Summit Community Bank, Inc. (“Summit Community”), is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking regulatory agencies. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Summit Community must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative

Table of Contents
30


measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  Our bank subsidiary’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Summit Community to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1("CET1"), Total capital and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  We believe, as of March 31, 2019, that our bank subsidiary met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

The most recent notifications from the banking regulatory agencies categorized Summit Community as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized, Summit Community must maintain minimum CET1, Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below.

The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for us on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with all of the final rule's requirements phased-in over a multi-year schedule, to be fully phased-in by January 1, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, Summit Community’s capital levels remained characterized as "well-capitalized" under the new rules. See the Capital Requirements section included in Part I, Item 1 -- Business of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of Basel III.

On August 28, 2018, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Board”) issued an interim final rule expanding the applicability of the Board's small bank holding company policy statement, as required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018. The interim final rule raises the small bank holding company policy statement's asset threshold from $1 billion to $3 billion in total consolidated assets, and as a result, our holding company was exempted from all regulatory capital guidelines, to which it previously had been subject, until such time as its consolidated assets exceed $3 billion.

The following table presents Summit's, as well as Summit Community's, actual and required minimum capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 under the Basel III Capital Rules.  The minimum required capital levels presented below reflect the minimum required capital levels (inclusive of the full capital conservation buffers) that will be effective as of January 1, 2019 when the Basel III Capital Rules have been fully phased-in.  Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

NOTE  14.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We have entered into three forward-starting, pay-fixed/receive LIBOR interest rate swaps.  $40 million notional with an effective date of July 18, 2016, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $40 million of forecasted variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  Under the terms of this swap we will pay a fixed rate of 2.98% for a 3 year period.  $30 million notional with an effective date of April 18, 2016, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $30 million of forecasted variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  Under the terms of this swap we will pay a fixed rate of 2.89% for a 4.5 year period.   $40 million notional with an effective date of October 18, 2016,  was designated as a cash flow hedge of $40 million of forecasted variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  Under the terms of the swap we will pay a fixed rate of 2.84% for a 3 year period.

We have entered into two pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps to hedge fair value variability of two commercial fixed rate loans with the same principal, amortization, and maturity terms of the underlying loans, which are designated as fair value hedges. Under the terms of a $9.95 million original notional swap with an effective date of January 15, 2015, we will pay a fixed rate of 4.33% for a 10 year period. Under the terms of a $11.3 million original notional swap with an effective date of December 18, 2015, we will pay a fixed rate of 4.30% for a 10 year period.

NOTE 15. ACQUISITIONS

Peoples Bankshares, Inc.

On January 1, 2019, Summit Community Bank, Inc. ("SCB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit, acquired 100% of the ownership of Peoples Bankshares, Inc. ("PBI") and its subsidiary First Peoples Bank, headquartered in Mullens, West Virginia. With this transaction, Summit further expands its footprint in Wyoming and Raleigh Counties of West Virginia. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 24, 2018, PBI's shareholders received cash in the amount of $47.00 per share or 1.7193 shares of Summit common stock, or a combination of cash and Summit stock, subject to proration to result in approximately 50% cash and 50% stock consideration in the aggregate. Total stock consideration was $9.0 million or 465,931 shares of Summit common stock and cash consideration was $12.7 million. PBI's assets and liabilities approximated $133 million and $113 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

We accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of PBI were recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, particularly related to the loan portfolio, is a complicated process involving significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate the estimated fair values. The fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the acquisition date as additional information relative to the acquisition date fair values becomes available. We recognized preliminary goodwill of $1.86 million in connection with the acquisition, which is not amortized for financial reporting purposes, but is subject to annual impairment testing. The core deposit intangible represents the value of long-term deposit relationships acquired in this transaction and will be amortized over an estimated weighted average life of 15 years using an accelerated method which approximates the estimated run-off of the acquired deposits. The following table details the total consideration paid on January 1, 2019 in connection with the acquisition of PBI, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the resulting preliminary goodwill.

The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented above.
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of these assets approximates their fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets.

Securities: Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are based on observable inputs including quoted market prices for similar instruments, quoted market prices that are not in an active market or other inputs that are observable in the market.

Loans: Fair values for loans are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered factors including the type of loan and related collateral, collectibility, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan, amortization status and current market rates. Loans were grouped together according to similar characteristics and were treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. The discount rates used for loans are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans and include adjustments for liquidity concerns, if any.

Premises and equipment: The fair value of PBI's real property was determined based upon appraisals by licensed appraisers. The fair value of tangible personal property, which is not material, was assumed to equal the carrying value by PBI.

Core deposit intangible: This intangible asset represents the value of the relationships with deposit customers. The fair value was estimated based on a discounted cash flow methodology that gave appropriate consideration to expected customer attrition rates, cost of the deposit base, reserve requirements and the net maintenance cost attributable to customer deposits.


Table of Contents
34


Deposits: The fair values of the demand and savings deposits by definition equal the amount payable on demand at the acquisition date. The fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered to the contractual interest rates on such time deposits.

Loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition without the carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. Purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans are those for which there is evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable at the date of acquisition that we will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. When determining fair value, PCI loans are identified as of the date of acquisition based upon evidence of credit quality such as internal risk grades and past due and nonaccrual status. The difference between contractually required payments of principal and interest at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is accounted for as a"nonaccretable difference," and is available to absorb future credit losses on those loans. For purposes of determining the nonaccretable difference, no prepayments are generally assumed in determining contractually required payments of principal and interest or cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses. Subsequent significant increases in cash flows may result in a reversal of the provision for loan losses to the extent of prior charges, or a transfer from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is accounted for as accretable yield and is recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows. No acquired PBI loans were designated as PCI loans.

Loans not designated PCI loans as of the acquisition date are designated purchased performing loans. We account for purchased performing loans using the contractual cash flows method of recognizing discount accretion based on the acquired loans’ contractual cash flows. Purchased performing loans are recorded at fair value, including a credit discount. The fair value discount is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated lives of the loans. There is no allowance for loan losses established at the acquisition date for purchased performing loans. A provision for loan losses is recorded for any deterioration in these loans subsequent to the acquisition.

The following presents the financial effects of adjustments recognized in the statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 related to business combinations that occurred during 2016, 2017 and 2018.

NOTE 18. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Interest income, loan fees, realized securities gains and losses, bank owned life insurance income and mortgage banking revenue are not in the scope of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. With the exception of gains or losses on sales of foreclosed properties, all of our revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 is recognized within Noninterest Income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed

when incurred when the amortization period is one year or less. As of March 31, 2019, remaining performance obligations consisted of insurance products with an original expected length of one year or less.
A description of our significant sources of revenue accounted for under ASC 606 follows:
Service fees on deposit accounts are fees we charge our deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which are earned based on specific transactions or customer activity within a customer’s deposit account, are recognized at the time the related transaction or activity occurs, as it is at this point when we fulfill the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which Summit satisfied the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized when the overdraft occurs. Service fees on deposit accounts are paid through a direct charge to the customer’s account.
Bank card revenue is comprised of interchange revenue and ATM fees. Interchange revenue is earned when Summit’s debit and credit cardholders conduct transactions through Mastercard and other payment networks. Interchange fees represent a percentage of the underlying cardholder’s transaction value and are generally recognized daily, concurrent with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. ATM fees are earned when a non-Summit cardholder uses a Summit ATM. ATM fees are recognized daily, as the related ATM transactions are settled.
Trust and wealth management fees consist of 1) trust fees and 2) commissions earned from an independent, third-party broker-dealer. We earn trust fees from our contracts with trust clients to administer or manage assets for investment. Trust fees are earned over time (generally monthly) as Summit provides the contracted services and are assessed based on the value of assets under management at each month-end. We earn commissions from investment brokerage services provided to our clients by an independent, third-party broker-dealer. We receive monthly commissions from the third-party broker-dealer based upon client activity for the previous month.
Insurance commissions principally consist of commissions we earn as agents of insurers for selling group employee benefit and property and casualty insurance products to clients. Group employee benefit insurance commissions are recognized over time (generally monthly) as the related customary implied servicing obligations of group policyholders are fulfilled. Property and casualty insurance commissions are recognized using methods which approximate the time of placement of the underlying policy. We are paid insurance commissions ratably as the related policy premiums are paid by clients.

Gain or loss on sale of foreclosed properties is recorded when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of transfer of the deed. If Summit finances the sale of a foreclosed property to the buyer, we assess whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the foreclosed property is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon transfer of control of the property to the buyer. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, net (losses)/gains on sales of foreclosed properties were $(1,000) and $64,000 .
NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Summit announced the sale of its insurance agency, Summit Insurance Services (“SIS”) to The Hilb Group (“THG”), effective May 1, 2019.  As result of the sale, Summit expects to record an estimated pre-tax gain of $2.06 million in its results of operations for second quarter 2019.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion and analysis focuses on significant changes in our financial condition and results of operations of Summit Financial Group, Inc. (“Company” or “Summit”) and its operating subsidiaries, Summit Community Bank (“Summit Community”) and Summit Insurance Services, LLC, for the periods indicated.   This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our 2018 audited financial statements and Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 indicates that the disclosure of forward-looking information is desirable for investors and encourages such disclosure by providing a safe harbor for forward-looking statements by us.  Our following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty.  In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, we note that a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in those forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

On January 1, 2019, we acquired Peoples Bankshares, Inc. ("PBI") and its subsidiary, First Peoples Bank, Inc., headquartered in Mullens, West Virginia. PBI's results are included in our financial statements from the acquisition date forward, impacting comparisons to the prior-year first quarter period.

Our primary source of income is net interest income from loans and deposits.  Business volumes tend to be influenced by the overall economic factors including market interest rates, business spending, and consumer confidence, as well as competitive conditions within the marketplace.

Primarily due to our PBI acquisition and organic loan growth, average interest earning assets increased by 4.89% for the first three months in 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 while our net interest earnings on a tax equivalent basis increased 12.67%.  Our tax equivalent net interest margin increased 8 basis points as our yield on interest earning assets increased 35 basis points while our cost of interest bearing funds increased 36 basis points.



CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the financial services industry.  Application of these principles requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes.  These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments.  Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

Our most significant accounting policies are presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  These policies, along with the other disclosures presented in the financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined.

Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions and estimates underlying those amounts, we have identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of goodwill, fair value measurements and accounting for acquired loans to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

For additional information regarding critical accounting policies, refer to Critical Accounting Policies section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2018 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2018.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary


Table of Contents
38


Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $7.1 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to $7.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted share for the same period of 2018. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period of 2018, was positively impacted by increased net interest income and negatively impacted by higher noninterest expense primarily a result of the PBI acquisition. Returns on average equity and assets for the first three months of 2019 were 12.28% and 1.27%, respectively, compared with 14.73% and 1.40% for the same period of 2018.

PBI’s results of operations are included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition, and therefore our three months ended March 31, 2019 results reflect increased levels of average balances, income and expense as compared to the same period of 2018 results. At consummation (prior to fair value acquisition adjustments), PBI had total assets of $133.1 million, net loans of $42.4 million, and deposits of $112.1 million.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the principal component of our earnings and represents the difference between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds.  Fluctuations in interest rates as well as changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities can materially impact net interest income.

Q1 2019 compared to Q4 2018

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, our net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis increased $492,000 to $18.85 million compared to $18.36 million for the quarter end December 31, 2018. Our taxable-equivalent earnings on interest earning assets increased $526,000, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased $34,000 (see Tables I and II).

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 average interest earning assets increased to $2.09 billion compared to $2.02 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2018, while average interest bearing liabilities increased to $1.74 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $1.71 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, our net interest margin increased to 3.66%, compared to 3.61% for the linked quarter, as the yields on earning assets increased 35 basis points, while the cost of our interest bearing funds increased by 36 basis points. At acquisition, PBI's deposit costs were significantly lower than Summit's cost of deposits, thus substantially offsetting the increase in market rates during first quarter 2019.

Excluding the impact of accretion and amortization of fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities acquired by merger, Summit's net interest margin was 3.64% and 3.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Q1 2019 compared to Q1 2018

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, our net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis increased $1.29 million to $18.85 million compared to $17.57 million for the quarter end March 31, 2018. Our taxable-equivalent earnings on interest earning assets increased $2.9 million, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased $1.7 million (see Tables I and II).

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 average interest earning assets increased 4.9% to $2.09 billion compared to $1.99 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2018, while average interest bearing liabilities increased 2.4% from $1.70 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $1.74 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, our net interest margin increased to 3.66%, compared to 3.58% for the same period of 2018, as the yields on earning assets increased 35 basis points, while the cost of our interest bearing funds increased by 36 basis points.

Excluding the impact of accretion and amortization of fair value acquisition accounting adjustments related to the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities acquired by merger, Summit's net interest margin was 3.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased 13.2% compared to same period in 2018 principally due to lower realized gains on sales of securities. Further detail regarding noninterest income is reflected in the following table.

Salaries, commissions, and employee benefits: These expenses are 7.7% higher in the first three months of 2019 compared to first three months of 2018 due to an increase in number of employees, primarily those in conjunction with the PBI acquisition, and general merit raises.

Net occupancy expense: The increase in net occupancy expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is primarily due to the acquired PBI locations.

Equipment: The increase in equipment expense is primarily increased depreciation and amortization related to various technological upgrades, both hardware and software, made during the past two years and also the PBI acquisition.

Amortization of intangibles: Amortization of intangibles increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as a result of the additional amortization of the core deposit intangible associated with the PBI acquisition.

Other: The increase in other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is primarily due to a $509,000 increase in deferred director compensation plan expenses. Under the plan, the directors optionally defer their director fees into a "phantom" investment plan whereby the company recognizes expense or benefit relative to the phantom returns or losses of such investments. As result of the stock market’s exceptionally robust performance during Q1 2019, we recognized significantly greater quarterly deferred director compensation expense this quarter than we have ever recognized previously.

Income Taxes

Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 totaled $1.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate (income tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes) for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was 18.4% and 20.2%, respectively. Refer to Note 18 of the accompanying financial statements for further information regarding our income taxes.

Credit Experience

For purposes of this discussion, nonperforming assets include foreclosed properties, other repossessed assets, and nonperforming loans, which is comprised of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest and nonaccrual loans. Performing TDRs are excluded from nonperforming loans.

The provision for loan losses represents charges to earnings necessary to maintain an adequate allowance for probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our determination of the appropriate level of the allowance is based on an ongoing analysis of credit quality and loss potential in the loan portfolio, change in the composition and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, and the anticipated influence of national and local economic conditions.  The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed quarterly and adjustments are made as considered necessary.

We recorded $250,000 and $500,000 provisions for loan losses for the first three months of 2019 and 2018. The decrease is primarily due to more favorable asset quality indicators.

As illustrated in Table VII below, our non-performing assets have decreased since year end 2018.

Refer to Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding our past due loans, impaired loans, nonaccrual loans, and troubled debt restructurings and to Note 8 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of the methodology we employ on a quarterly basis to evaluate the overall adequacy of our allowance for loan losses.

Substantially all of our nonperforming loans are secured by real estate. The majority of these loans were underwritten in accordance with our loan-to-value policy guidelines which range from 70-85% at the time of origination. The fair values of the underlying collateral value or the discounted cash flows remain in excess of the recorded investment in many of our nonperforming loans and therefore, no specific reserve allocation is required.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our allowance for loan losses totaled $13.1 million, or 0.76% of total loans and $13.0 million, or 0.77% of total loans. The allowance for loan losses is considered adequate to cover our current estimate of probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 we had approximately $24.4 million and $21.4 million in foreclosed properties which were obtained as the result of foreclosure proceedings.  Although foreclosed property is recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell, the prices ultimately realized upon their sale may or may not result in us recognizing additional gains or losses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Our total assets were $2.25 billion at March 31, 2019 and $2.20 billion at December 31, 2018.  Table IX below is a summary of significant changes in our financial position between December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019.

The following is a discussion of the significant changes in our financial position during the first nine months of 2018:

Cash and cash equivalents: Net reduction of $34.9 million is primarily attributable to repayments of short-term Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and the cash consideration of $12.7 million paid in conjunction with the PBI acquisition.

Securities available for sale: The net decrease of $51.1 million in securities available for sale is principally a result of sales of the acquired PBI securities portfolio, whose proceeds were used to pay down short-term FHLB advances.

Deposits: During first quarter 2019, noninterest bearing checking increased $6.8 million, interest bearing checking deposits grew $22.7 million, direct CDs grew $8.1 million, retail CDs increased $7.5 million while saving deposits decreased $5.7 million.


Table of Contents
44


Short-term borrowings: The net decrease in short-term borrowings was attributable to repayments of short-term FHLB advances primarily using cash acquired in conjunction with PBI acquisition, proceeds from sales of PBI's acquired securities, and increased deposits.

Shareholders' equity: Changes in shareholders' equity are a result of net income, other comprehensive income and dividends.

Refer to Notes 5, 6, 9, and 10 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information with regard to changes in the composition of our securities, loans, deposits and borrowings between March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity reflects our ability to ensure the availability of adequate funds to meet loan commitments and deposit withdrawals, as well as provide for other transactional requirements.  Liquidity is provided primarily by funds invested in cash and due from banks (net of float and reserves), Federal funds sold, non-pledged securities, and available lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, which totaled approximately $990 million or 44.02% of total consolidated assets at March 31, 2019.

Our liquidity strategy is to fund loan growth with deposits and other borrowed funds while maintaining an adequate level of short- and medium-term investments to meet normal daily loan and deposit activity.  As a member of the FHLB, we have access to approximately $792 million.  As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, these advances totaled approximately $187 million and $304 million, respectively.  At March 31, 2019, we had additional borrowing capacity of $605 million through FHLB programs.  We have established a line with the Federal Reserve Bank to be used as a contingency liquidity vehicle.  The amount available on this line at March 31, 2019 was approximately $140 million, which is secured by a pledge of our consumer and commercial and industrial loan portfolios.  We have a $6 million unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank.  Also, we classify all of our securities as available for sale to enable us to liquidate them if the need arises.
 
Liquidity risk represents the risk of loss due to the possibility that funds may not be available to satisfy current or future commitments based on external market issues, customer or creditor perception of financial strength, and events unrelated to Summit such as war, terrorism, or financial institution market specific issues.  The Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), comprised of members of senior management and certain members of the Board of Directors, oversees our liquidity risk management process.   The ALCO develops and recommends policies and limits governing our liquidity to the Board of
Directors for approval with the objective of ensuring that we can obtain cost-effective funding to meet current and future obligations, as well as maintain sufficient levels of on-hand liquidity, under both normal and “stressed” circumstances.
 
We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that day-to-day as well as anticipated funding needs are met.  We are not aware of any trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that have resulted in or are reasonably likely to result in a material change to our liquidity.

One of our continuous goals is maintenance of a strong capital position.  Through management of our capital resources, we seek to provide an attractive financial return to our shareholders while retaining sufficient capital to support future growth.  Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2019 totaled $233.6 million compared to $219.8 million at December 31, 2018.

Refer to Note 13 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding regulatory restrictions on our capital as well as our subsidiaries’ capital.

CONTRACTUAL CASH OBLIGATIONS

During our normal course of business, we incur contractual cash obligations.  The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations at March 31, 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk Management

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and equity prices.  Interest rate risk is our primary market risk and results from timing differences in the repricing of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, changes in relationships between rate indices and the potential exercise of imbedded options.  The principal objective of asset/liability management is to minimize interest rate risk and our actions in this regard are taken under the guidance of our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which is comprised of members of senior management and members of the Board of Directors.  The ALCO actively formulates the economic assumptions that we use in our financial planning and budgeting process and establishes policies which control and monitor our sources, uses and prices of funds.

Some amount of interest rate risk is inherent and appropriate to the banking business.  Our net income is affected by changes in the absolute level of interest rates.  Our interest rate risk position is well-matched over the near-term. That is, absent any changes in the volumes of our interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities, assets are likely to reprice faster than liabilities, resulting in an increase in net income in a rising rate environment.  Net income would decrease in a falling interest rate environment.  Net income is also subject to changes in the shape of the yield curve.  In general, a flattening yield curve would decrease our earnings due to the compression of earning asset yields and funding rates, while a steepening would increase earnings as margins widen.

Several techniques are available to monitor and control the level of interest rate risk.  We primarily use earnings simulations modeling to monitor interest rate risk.  The earnings simulation model forecasts the effects on net interest income under a variety of interest rate scenarios that incorporate changes in the absolute level of interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve.  Each increase or decrease in interest rates is assumed to gradually take place over the next 12 months, and then remain stable, except for the up 400 scenario, which assumes a gradual increase in rates over 24 months.  Assumptions used to project yields and rates for new loans and deposits are derived from historical analysis.  Securities portfolio maturities and prepayments are reinvested in like instruments.  Mortgage loan prepayment assumptions are developed from industry estimates of prepayment speeds.  Noncontractual deposit repricings are modeled on historical patterns.

The estimated sensitivity of our net interest income to changes in interest rates, as of March 31, 2019 is not materially different than that as of December 31, 2018 which is presented on page 43 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted as of March 31, 2019, an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e).  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019 were effective.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
