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. You should carefully consider each risk factor discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the COVID-19 risk factor in Part II. Item 1A Risk Factors of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 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 2019 audited financial statements and Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted
During June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 ("ASC 326"), Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, as amended, among other things, requires 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 previously applied are still permitted, although the inputs to those techniques have changed to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, ASC 326 amends the accounting for credit losses on debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.

We adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. Results for the periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable US GAAP. We recorded a net reduction of retained earnings of $6.76 million upon adoption. The transition adjustment includes an increase in the allowance for credit losses for loans ("ACLL") of $6.93 million and an increase in the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $2.43 million, net of the corresponding increases in deferred tax assets of $2.13 million. The adjustments to the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for both loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures are combined and reported on our income statement as credit loss expense. Further information regarding our policies and methodology used to estimate the ACLL is presented in Note 6 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans. Further information regarding our policies and methodology used to estimate the ACL on off-balance-sheet credit exposures is presented in Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies.

We adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”) that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, we did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. The remaining credit discount on the PCI loans was recorded as an offset to the ACLL at the time of adoption and is netted in the above adjustment. The remaining adjustment for noncredit factors on these loans will be accreted into interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loans.

Additionally, we evaluated each acquired loan for PCD status at the time of adoption. We identified loans with a net balance of $9.4 million that should be considered PCD. We considered the remaining discount at the time of adoption to be for noncredit factors on these loans and it will be accreted into interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loans.

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
11


disclosure requirements in Topic 820 are also removed or modified. The amendments were effective for us January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020 (revised April 2020), various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the agencies”) issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by the Coronavirus ("COVID-19"). The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under ASC 310-40, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, (“ASC 310-40”), a restructuring of debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID-19 crisis to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. This interagency guidance is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements; however, this impact cannot be quantified at this time. See Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for disclosure of the impact to date.

Pending Adoption

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU is expected to reduce cost and complexity related to the accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions to general principles in Topic 740 (eliminating the need for an organization to analyze whether certain exceptions apply in a given period) and improving financial statement preparers’ application of certain income tax-related guidance. This ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to make narrow-scope simplifications and improvements to accounting standards through a series of short-term projects. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. For public business entities, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-01 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, we do not anticipate any material adverse impact to our business operation or financial results during the period of transition.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08 Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable fees and Other Costs which clarifies that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of ASC paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. All entities should apply ASU No. 2020-08 on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt securities. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-06 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We do not intend to sell the above 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 changes in market interest rates, and in some cases limited market liquidity and is not due to credit quality as none of these securities are in default and all carry above investment grade ratings. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses has been recognized relative to these securities.

In accordance with ASC 326, an allowance for credit losses on held to maturity securities is a contra-asset valuation account, that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of securities carried at amortized cost to present management's best estimate of the net amount expected to be collected. Held to maturity securities are charged-off against the allowance when deemed uncollectible by management. Adjustments to the allowance are reported in our income statement as a component of the provision for credit losses. Management measures expected credit losses on held to maturity securities on a collective basis by major security type with each type sharing similar risk characteristics, and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Management has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on held to maturity securities from the estimate of credit losses. At September 30, 2020, no allowance for credit losses on held to maturity securities has been recognized.


NOTE 6.  LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES FOR LOANS

Loans are generally stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned discount and the ACLL. Interest on loans is accrued daily on the outstanding balances.  Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as adjustments of the related loan yield over its contractual life.

Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is greater than 90 days past due based upon the loan's contractual terms. Interest on nonaccrual loans is recognized primarily using the cost-recovery method.  Loans may be returned to accrual status when repayment is reasonably assured and there has been demonstrated performance under the terms of the loan or, if applicable, the terms of the restructured loans.

Commercial-related loans or portions thereof are charged off to the ACLL when the loss has been confirmed.  This determination is made on a case by case basis considering many factors, including the prioritization of our claim in bankruptcy, expectations of the workout/restructuring of the loan and valuation of the borrower’s equity.  We deem a loss confirmed when a
20


loan or a portion of a loan is classified “loss” in accordance with bank regulatory classification guidelines, which state, “Assets classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted”.
 
Consumer-related loans are generally charged to the ACLL upon reaching specified stages of delinquency, in accordance with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council policy.  For example, credit card loans are charged off by the end of the month in which the account becomes 180 days past due or within 60 days from receiving notification about a specified event (e.g., bankruptcy of the borrower), whichever is earlier.  Residential mortgage loans are generally charged off to net realizable value no later than when the account becomes 180 days past due.  Other consumer loans, if collateralized, are generally charged down to net realizable value at 120 days past due.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
The ACLL is a valuation allowance, estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with ASC 326, that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected. The amount of the ACLL represents our best estimate of current expected credit losses on loans considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing collectability over the loans’ contractual terms, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate (the “life-of-loan” concept). The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless (i) management has a reasonable expectation that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed with an individual borrower or (ii) such extension or renewal options are not unconditionally cancellable by us and, in such cases, the borrower is likely to meet applicable conditions and likely to request extension or renewal. Relevant available information includes historical credit loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. While historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, adjustments to historical loss information may be made for differences in current portfolio-specific risk characteristics, environmental conditions or other relevant factors. The ACLL losses is measured on a collective basis for portfolios of loans when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. Expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans, including loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, but foreclosure is not probable, are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.
21


Expected credit losses are reflected in the ACLL through a charge to provision for credit losses. When we deem all or a portion of a financial asset to be uncollectible the appropriate amount is written off and the ACLL is reduced by the same amount. The Company applies judgment to determine when a financial asset is deemed uncollectible; however, generally speaking, an asset will be considered uncollectible no later than when all efforts at collection have been exhausted. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACLL when received.
Loan Pools. In calculating the ACLL, most loans are segmented into pools based upon similar characteristics and risk profiles. Common characteristics and risk profiles include the type/purpose of loan, underlying collateral, geographical similarity and historical/expected credit loss patterns. In developing these loan pools for the purposes of modeling expected credit losses, we also analyzed the degree of correlation in how loans within each portfolio respond when subjected to varying economic conditions and scenarios as well as other portfolio stress factors. We have identified the pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics for measuring expected credit losses as presented in the table of amortized cost of loans held for investment above.
We periodically reassess each pool to ensure the loans within the pool continue to share similar characteristics and risk profiles and to determine whether further segmentation is necessary.

Residential 1-4 family rentals are classified as small loan if the original loan amount is less than $600,000 and classified as large loan if the original loan amount equals or exceeds $600,000.

The Company’s methodology for estimating the ACLL considers available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The methodology applies historical loss information, adjusted for asset-specific characteristics, economic conditions at the measurement date, and forecasts about future economic conditions expected to exist through the contractual lives of the financial assets that are reasonable and supportable, to the identified pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics for which the historical loss experience was observed. Our methodology reverts to historical loss information immediately when it can no longer develop reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Loss-Rate Method. We use a loss-rate (“cohort”) method to estimate expected credit losses for all loan pools. The cohort method identifies and captures the balances of pooled loans with similar risk characteristics, as of a point in time to form a cohort, then tracks the respective losses generated by that cohort of loans over their remaining lives, or until the loans are “exhausted” (reached an acceptable stage at which a significant majority of all losses are expected to have been recognized). This method encompasses loan balances for as long as the loans are outstanding, so while significant history is required to represent the life-of-loan concept, this method does not require as much history due to its inclusion of loan balances in multiple cohort periods.
Qualitative Factors. We qualitatively adjust our loan loss rates for risk factors that are not otherwise considered within our model but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within our loan pools. These qualitative factor (“Q-Factor”) adjustments may increase or decrease our estimate of expected credit losses by a calculated percentage or amount based upon the estimated level of risk.
One Q-Factor adjustment to our loss rates is consideration of reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. In arriving at a reasonable and supportable economic forecast, we primarily consider the forecasted unemployment rates for the U.S., West Virginia and Virginia as loss drivers for each segmented loan pool. Secondarily, we consider the following forecasted economic data for one or more of our segmented loan pools depending on the nature of the underlying loan pool: housing price indices (U.S., West Virginia & Virginia), single-family housing starts (West Virginia & Virginia), multi-family housing starts (West Virginia & Virginia), personal income growth (U.S., West Virginia & Virginia), U.S. consumer confidence, rental vacancy rates (U.S.), and U.S. % change in gross domestic product.
Other risks that we may consider in making Q-Factor adjustments include, among other things, the impact of (i) changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and practices for collections, write-offs, and recoveries, (ii) changes in the nature and volume of the loan pools and in the terms of the underlying loans, (iii) changes in the experience, ability, and depth of our lending management and staff, (iv) changes in volume and severity of past due financial assets, the volume of non-accrual assets, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded assets, (v) changes in the quality of our credit review function, (vi) changes in the value of the underlying collateral for loans that are non-collateral dependent, (vii) the existence, growth, and effect of any concentrations of credit and (viii) other external factors such as the regulatory, legal and technological environments; competition; and events such as natural disasters or health pandemics.

Collateral Dependent Loans. We may determine that an individual loan exhibits unique risk characteristics which differentiate it from other loans within our loan pools. In such cases, the loans are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis
22


and excluded from the collective evaluation. Specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses are determined by analyzing the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other things. A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when, based upon management's assessment, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. In such cases, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date, adjusted for estimated selling costs if satisfaction of the loan depends on the sale of the collateral. We reevaluate the fair value of collateral supporting collateral dependent loans on a quarterly basis. The fair value of real estate collateral supporting collateral dependent loans is evaluated by appraisal services using a methodology that is consistent with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

Troubled Debt Restructuring. A loan that has been modified or renewed is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when two conditions are met: 1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and 2) concessions are made for the borrower's benefit that would not otherwise be considered for a borrower or transaction with similar credit risk characteristics. The Company’s ACLL reflects all effects of a TDR when an individual asset is specifically identified as a reasonably expected TDR. The Company has determined that a TDR is reasonably expected no later than the point when the lender concludes that modification is the best course of action and it is at least reasonably possible that the troubled borrower will accept some form of concession from the lender to avoid a default. TDRs that are considered material ($500,000 and greater) are evaluated individually to determine the required ACLL. TDRs that are not considered material may be included in the Company’s existing pools based on the underlying risk characteristics of the loan to measure the ACLL.

Credit Quality Indicators: We categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. We analyze loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.  We internally grade all commercial loans at the time of loan origination. In addition, we perform an annual loan review on all non-homogenous commercial loan relationships with an aggregate exposure of $5.0 million, at which time these loans are re-graded. We use the following definitions for our risk grades:

Pass: Loans graded as Pass are loans to borrowers of acceptable credit quality and risk. They are higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

OLEM (Special Mention):  Commercial loans categorized as OLEM are potentially weak. The credit risk may be relatively minor yet represent a risk given certain specific circumstances. If the potential weaknesses are not monitored or mitigated, the asset may weaken or inadequately protect our position in the future.

Substandard:   Commercial loans categorized as Substandard are inadequately protected by the borrower’s ability to repay, equity and/or the collateral pledged to secure the loan. These loans have identified weaknesses that could hinder normal repayment or collection of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the identified weaknesses are not mitigated.

Doubtful:  Commercial loans categorized as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those loans classified as Substandard, with the added elements that the full collection of the loan is improbable and the possibility of loss is high.

Loss:  Loans classified as loss are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future.

Management considers the guidance in ASC 310-20 when determining whether a modification, extension, or renewal of loan constitutes a current period origination. Generally, current period renewals of credit are reunderwritten at the point of renewal and considered current period originations for purposes of the table below. As of September 30, 2020, based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans based on year of origination is as follows:

At September 30, 2020, we had TDRs of $25.2 million, of which $21.3 million were current with respect to restructured contractual payments. At December 31, 2019, our TDRs totaled $25.7 million, of which $22.9 million were current with respect to restructured contractual payments.  There were no commitments to lend additional funds under these restructurings at either balance sheet date.

The following table presents by class the TDRs that were restructured during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. 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.  TDRs are evaluated individually for allowance for credit loss purposes if the loan balance exceeds $500,000, otherwise, smaller balance TDR loans are included in the pools to determine ACLL.

As of September 30, 2020, we had loans modifications to interest only or principal and interest deferrals on outstanding loan balances of $117.7 million in connection with the COVID-19 relief provided by the CARES Act. These modifications and deferrals were not considered troubled debt restructurings as permitted by provisions in the CARES Act.

On January 1, 2020, we purchased loans, for which there was, at the time of acquisition, more than significant deterioration of credit quality since origination (PCD loans). The carrying amount of these loans at acquisition is as follows:

NOTE 7.  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During first quarter 2020, we evaluated recent potential triggering events that might be indicators that our goodwill was impaired. The events include, among others, the economic disruption and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. We determined that there were no indicators of impairment noted as of March 31, 2020.

The following tables present our goodwill activity for the quarter ending September 30, 2020 and the balance of other intangible assets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Long-term borrowings:  Our long-term borrowings of $703,000 and $717,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, consisted of a 5.34% fixed rate advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), maturing in 2026. This FHLB advance is collateralized by a blanket lien of $1.25 billion of residential mortgage loans, certain commercial loans, mortgage backed securities and securities of U.S. Government agencies and corporations.
 
Subordinated debentures: We issued $30 million of subordinated debentures, net of $664,000 debt issuance costs, during third quarter 2020 in a private placement transaction. The subordinated debt qualifies as Tier 2 capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines, until the debt is within 5 years of its maturity; thereafter the amount qualifying as Tier 2 capital is reduced by 20 percent each year until maturity. This subordinated debt bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.00% per year, from and including September 22, 2020 to, but excluding, September 30, 2025, payable quarterly in arrears. From and including September 30, 2025 to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly at a variable rate equal to the then current three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 487 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. As provided in the Notes, the interest rate on the Notes during the applicable floating rate period may be determined based on a rate other than three-month term SOFR. This debt has a 10 years term and generally, is not prepayable by us within the first five years.

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.  These subordinated debentures totaled $19.6 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

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 10.  SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Under the 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2014 LTIP”), stock options, SARs and RSUs 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.

35



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.

NOTE 11.  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:
Dollars in thousandsSeptember 30,
2020
Commitments to extend credit: 
Revolving home equity and credit card lines$88,214 
Construction loans110,896 
Other loans320,318 
Standby letters of credit11,200 
Total$530,628 

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.
Allowance For Credit Losses - Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures

The ACL on off-balance-sheet credit exposures is a liability account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, representing expected credit losses over the contractual period for which we are exposed to credit risk resulting from a contractual obligation to extend credit. No allowance is recognized if we have the unconditional right to cancel the obligation. Off-balance-sheet credit exposures primarily consist of amounts available under outstanding lines of credit and letters of credit detailed in the table above. For the period of exposure, the estimate of expected credit losses considers both the likelihood that funding will occur and the amount expected to be funded over the estimated remaining life of the commitment or other off-balance-sheet exposure. The likelihood and expected amount of funding are based on historical utilization rates. The amount of the allowance represents management's best estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over the contractual life of the commitment. Estimating credit losses on amounts expected to be funded uses the same methodology as described for loans in Note 6 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses as if such commitments were funded.

The impact to the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures upon adoption of ASC 326 was $2.43 million, followed by a nine month 2020 provision of $1.09 million resulting in a September 30, 2020 balance of $3.52 million.

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, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of these matters will not have a significant adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12.  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 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 September 30, 2020, 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.
In December 2018, the federal bank regulatory agencies approved a final rule modifying their regulatory capital rules to provide an option to phase-in over a period of three years the day-one regulatory capital effects of the implementation of ASC 326. In March 2020, those agencies approved a final rule providing an option to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital. We elected this optional phase-in period upon adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020 and elected to delay the estimated impact. The initial impact of adoption as well as 25% of the quarterly increases in the allowance for credit losses subsequent to adoption (collectively the “transition adjustments”) will be delayed for two years. After two years, the cumulative amount of the transition adjustments will become fixed and will be phased out of the regulatory capital calculations evenly over a three year period, with 75% recognized in year three, 50% recognized in year four, and 25% recognized in year five. After five years, the temporary regulatory capital benefits will be fully reversed.
The following tables present Summit's, as well as Summit Community's, actual and required minimum regulatory capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended.

NOTE  13.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash flow hedges

We have entered into three pay-fixed/receive LIBOR interest rate swaps as follows:

A $40 million notional interest rate swap expiring on October 18, 2021, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $40 million of variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Under the terms of this swap we will pay a fixed rate of 2.19% and receive a variable rate equal to three month LIBOR.

A $20 million notional interest rate swap with an effective date of October 18, 2021 and expiring on October 18, 2023, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $20 million of forecasted variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Under the terms of this swap we will pay a fixed rate of 1.07% and receive a variable rate equal to three month LIBOR.

A $20 million notional interest rate swap with an effective date of October 18, 2021 and expiring on October 18, 2024, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $20 million of forecasted variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Under the terms of this swap we will pay a fixed rate of 1.1055% and receive a variable rate equal to three month LIBOR.

In addition, we have entered into one interest rate cap to hedge the risk of variability in its cash flows above .75% of the three month LIBOR benchmark interest rate.

A $100 million notional interest rate cap with an effective date of July 20, 2020 and expiring on April 18, 2030, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $100 million of forecasted fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Under the terms of this cap we will hedge the variability of cash flows when three month LIBOR is above .75%.

Fair value hedges

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 as follows:

Under the terms of a $9.95 million original notional interest rate swap expiring January 15, 2025, we will pay a fixed rate of 4.33% and receive a variable rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 2.40 percent.

Under the terms of a $11.3 million original notional interest rate swap expiring January 15, 2026, we will pay a fixed rate of 4.30% and receive a variable rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 2.18 percent.

NOTE 14. ACQUISITIONS

Cornerstone Financial Services Inc. Acquisition

On January 1, 2020, Summit Community Bank, Inc. ("SCB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit, acquired 100% of the ownership of Cornerstone Financial Services Inc. ("Cornerstone") and its subsidiary Cornerstone Bank, headquartered in West Union, West Virginia. With this transaction, Summit further expands its footprint into the central region of West Virginia. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 17, 2019, Cornerstone's shareholders received cash in the amount of $5,700.00 per share or 228 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 $15.4 million or 570,000 shares of Summit common stock and cash consideration was $14.3 million. Cornerstone's assets and liabilities approximated $195 million and $176 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019 and was deemed immaterial to our financial statements.

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 Cornerstone were recorded at their acquisition date respective 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 $10.82 million in connection with the acquisition (not deductible for income tax purposes), which is not amortized for financial reporting purposes, but is subject to annual impairment testing or upon a triggering event. 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 10 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, 2020 in connection with the acquisition of Cornerstone, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the resulting preliminary goodwill.

MVB Bank Branches Acquisition

On April 24, 2020, SCB expanded its presence in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia by acquiring three MVB Bank locations in Berkeley County, West Virginia and one MVB Bank location in Jefferson County, West Virginia. Summit assumed certain deposits and loans totaling approximately $195.0 million and $35.3 million, respectively. The purchase price was $50.3 million consisting of (i) the average daily closing balance of the deposits for the thirty (30) day period prior to the closing multiplied by 8.00%, (ii) the aggregate amount of cash on hand as of the closing date, (iii) the aggregate net book value of all assets being assumed (excluding cash on hand, real property and accrued interest with respect to the loans acquired), (iv) the appraised value of the real property acquired, and (v) accrued interest with respect to the loans acquired.

This acquisition was determined to constitute a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations,and accordingly we accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, recording the assets and liabilities of MVB Bank at their acquisition date respective 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 $14.67 million in connection with the acquisition (deductible for income tax purposes), 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 10 years using an accelerated method which approximates the estimated run-off of the acquired deposits. The following table details the total consideration paid on April 24, 2020 in connection with the acquisition of the MVB Bank branches, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the resulting preliminary goodwill.

Preliminary goodwill resulting from acquisition$14,665 

The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented for both transactions above.
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of these assets approximates their fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets, with the exception of certificates of deposits held at other banks, which were adjusted to fair value based upon current interest rates.

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 Cornerstone'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 Cornerstone.

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.

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.
42



Prior to adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, loans acquired in a business combination that had evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it was probable at the date of acquisition that we would not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments were considered purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans. When determining fair value, PCI loans were 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 was accounted for as a"nonaccretable difference," and was available to absorb future credit losses on those loans. For purposes of determining the nonaccretable difference, no prepayments were 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 generally resulted in a provision for loan losses. Subsequent significant increases in cash flows could have resulted 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 was accounted for as accretable yield and was recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there was a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

Subsequent to adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, loans acquired in a business combination that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are considered purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans. At the acquisition date, an estimate of expected credit losses is made for groups of PCD loans with similar risk characteristics and individual PCD loans without similar risk characteristics. This initial allowance for credit losses is allocated to individual PCD loans and added to the purchase price or acquisition date fair values to establish the initial amortized cost basis of the PCD loans. As the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price, there is no credit loss expense recognized upon acquisition of a PCD loan. Any difference between the unpaid principal balance of PCD loans and the amortized cost basis is considered to relate to noncredit factors and results in a discount or premium. Discounts and premiums are recognized through interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loans. All loans considered to be PCI prior to January 1, 2020 were converted to PCD on that date.

Loans not designated PCD 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 related to business combinations that occurred during 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2020.

Pending WinFirst Acquisition

On September 28, 2020, we entered into a Definitive Merger Agreement with WinFirst Financial Corp. ("WinFirst"). Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Summit will acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of WinFirst in exchange for cash in the amount of $21.7 million. Total merger consideration received by WinFirst shareholders is subject to an adjustment if WinFirst's adjusted shareholders’ equity as of the effective date of the merger deviates from the range mutually determined by the parties. WinFirst's assets approximated $146 million at September 30, 2020.

We anticipate the acquisition will close by year-end 2020, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval and approval of WinFirst's shareholders. Following the consummation of the merger, WinFirst's wholly-owned subsidiary WinFirst Bank will be consolidated with Summit's subsidiary, Summit Community Bank, Inc.

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 subsidiary, Summit Community Bank (“Summit Community”), for the periods indicated.   This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our 2019 audited consolidated 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.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains comments or information that constitute forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995) that are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “should”, “would” and “could” are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially. Factors that might cause such a difference include: the effect of the COVID-19 crisis, including the negative impacts and disruptions on the communities we serve, and the domestic and global economy, which may have an adverse effect on our business; current and future economic and market conditions, including the effects of declines in housing prices, high unemployment rates, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters, geopolitical matters, and any slowdown in global economic growth; fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve; future provisions for credit losses on loans and debt securities; changes in nonperforming assets; changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; the successful integration of operations of our acquisitions; changes in banking laws and regulations; changes in tax laws; the impact of technological advances; the outcomes of contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; and changes in the national and local economies. We undertake no obligation to revise these statements following the date of this filing.

OVERVIEW

On January 1, 2020, we acquired Cornerstone Financial Service, Inc. ("Cornerstone") and its subsidiary, Cornerstone Bank, Inc., headquartered in West Union, West Virginia and on April 24, 2020, we acquired four MVB Bank ("MVB") branches in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. Cornerstone's and MVB's results are included in our financial statements from the acquisition dates forward, impacting comparisons to the prior-year periods. On May 1, 2019, we sold our insurance agency, Summit Insurance Services, LLC ("SIS"). Accordingly, their results are included in our financial statements only until date of sale, impacting comparisons to the first nine months of the prior-year.

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 Cornerstone and MVB branch acquisitions and organic loan growth, average interest earning assets increased by 19.87% for the first nine months in 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 while our net interest earnings on a tax equivalent basis increased 20.71%.  Our tax equivalent net interest margin increased 2 basis points as our yield on interest earning assets decreased 59 basis points while our cost of interest bearing funds decreased 70 basis points.

COVID-19 IMPACTS

Overview

Our business has been, and continues to be, impacted by the recent and ongoing outbreak of COVID-19. In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the President of the United States. Efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19 have led to shelter-in-place orders, the closure of non-essential businesses, travel restrictions, supply chain disruptions and prohibitions on public gatherings, among other things, throughout many parts of the United States and, in particular, the markets in which we operate. As the current pandemic is ongoing and dynamic in nature, there are many uncertainties related to COVID-19 including, among other things, its ultimate geographic spread; its severity; the duration of the outbreak; the impact to our clients, employees and vendors; the impact to the financial services and banking industry; and the impact to the economy as a whole as well as the effect of actions taken, or that may yet be taken, by governmental authorities to contain the outbreak or to mitigate its impact (both economic and health-related).
46


COVID-19 has negatively affected, and is expected to continue to negatively affect, our business, financial position and operating results. In light of the uncertainties and continuing developments discussed herein, the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 cannot be reliably estimated at this time, but it has been and is expected to continue to be material.

Impact on our Operations 
The resulting closures of non-essential businesses and related economic disruption has impacted our operations as well as the operations of our clients. In West Virginia and Virginia, financial services have been identified as essential services, and accordingly, our business remains open, with appropriate safety protocols implemented. To address the issues arising as a result of COVID-19, we have implemented various plans, strategies and protocols to protect our employees, maintain services for clients, assure the functional continuity of our operating systems, controls and processes, and mitigate financial risks posed by changing market conditions. In order to protect employees and assure workforce continuity and operational redundancy, we imposed business travel restrictions, enhanced our sanitizing protocols within our facilities and physically separated, to the extent possible, our critical operations workforce that cannot work remotely.
Impact on our Financial Position and Results of Operations

Lending and Credit Risks

COVID-19 has had a material impact on our loan credit risks for the first nine months of 2020. While we have not yet experienced any material charge-offs related to COVID-19, our allowance for credit losses ACL computation and resulting provision for credit losses are significantly impacted by the estimated potential future economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis. Due to deteriorated forecasted economic scenarios since the pandemic was declared in early March, our need for additional ACL increased significantly. Should economic conditions worsen, we could experience further increases in our ACL and record additional credit loss expense.
We have taken actions to identify and assess our COVID-19 related credit exposures by asset classes and borrower types. Depending on the demonstrated need of the client, in certain cases, we are either modifying to interest only or deferring the full loan payment. Accordingly, the following tables summarize the aggregate balances of loans the Company has modified as result of COVID-19 as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 classified by types of loans and impacted borrowers.

Modified loans with deferred payments will continue to accrue interest during the deferral period unless otherwise classified as nonperforming. Consistent with bank regulatory guidance and Section 401(3) of the CARES Act, borrowers that were otherwise current on loan payments that were granted COVID-19 related financial hardship payment deferrals will continue to be reported as current loans throughout the agreed upon deferral periods. COVID-19 related loan modifications are also deemed to be insignificant borrower concessions, and therefore, such modified loans were not classified as troubled-debt restructured loans as of September 30, 2020. We anticipate that COVID-19 related loan modifications will continue throughout 2020.
Our loan interest income could be reduced due to COVID-19.  While interest and fees will still accrue to income, through normal accounting, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, interest income and fees accrued would need to be reversed.  In such a scenario, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted.  At this time, we are unable to project the materiality of such an impact.
Capital and Liquidity

Although there is a high degree of uncertainty around the magnitude and duration of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, management believes that our financial position, including high levels of capital and liquidity, will allow us to successfully endure the negative economic impacts of the crisis. Our capital management activities, coupled with our historically strong earnings performance and prudent dividend practices, have allowed us to build and maintain strong capital reserves. At September 30, 2020, all of Summit’s regulatory capital ratios significantly exceeded well-capitalized standards. More specifically, the Company bank subsidiary’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, a common measure to evaluate a financial institutions capital strength, was 9.6% at September 30, 2020, which is well in excess of the well-capitalized regulatory minimum of 5.0%.

In addition, management believes the Company’s liquidity position is strong. The Company’s bank subsidiary maintains a funding base largely comprised of core noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts and low cost interest-bearing transactional deposit accounts with clients that operate or reside within the footprint of its branch bank network. At September 30, 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances were $109.0 million. In addition, Summit maintains an available-for-sale securities portfolio, comprised primarily of highly liquid U.S. agency securities, highly-rated municipal securities and U.S. agency-backed mortgage backed securities, which serves as a ready source of liquidity. At September 30, 2020, the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio totaled $298.0 million, $162.1 million of which was unpledged as collateral. The Company bank subsidiary’s unused borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh at September 30, 2020 was $732.7 million, and it maintained $169.2 million of borrowing availability at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s discount window.
The COVID-19 crisis is expected to continue to impact our financial results, as well as demand for our services and products during the remainder of 2020 and potentially beyond. The short and long-term implications of the COVID-19 crisis, and related monetary and fiscal stimulus measures, on our future revenues, earnings results, allowance for credit losses, capital reserves and liquidity are unknown at present.

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 2019 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 ACL in accordance with the ASC 326 (as adopted on January 1, 2020), 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. Refer to Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the methodogy we employ regarding the ACL.

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 2019 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2019.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to $21.1 million or $1.62 per diluted share from $23.7 million or $1.88 per diluted share for the same period of 2019. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $9.6 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to $8.1 million, or $0.65 per diluted share for the same period of 2019. Earnings for both the nine and three months ended September 30, 2020 were negatively impacted by increased provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher net interest income, increased realized securities gains and higher mortgage origination revenue. In addition, negatively impacting earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were increased merger-related expenses and fewer insurance commissions due to the sale of our insurance subsidiary in second quarter 2019 (which resulted in a $1.9 million pretax gain on sale during second quarter 2019). Partially offsetting these negative factors were increased net interest income. Returns on average equity and assets for the first nine months of 2020 were 10.72% and 1.04%, respectively, compared with 13.48% and 1.40% for the same period of 2019.

Cornerstone’s and MVB's results of operations are included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition, and therefore our 2020 results reflect increased levels of average balances, income and expense as compared to the same periods of 2019 results. At consummation (prior to fair value acquisition adjustments), Cornerstone had total assets of $195.0 million, net loans of $39.8 million, and deposits of $173.0 million; the MVB branch transaction consisted primarily of $35.1 million loans acquired and $188.1 million deposits assumed. Also impacting comparability of results is the sale of SIS. Their results are included in our financial statements only until date of sale, impacting comparisons to the prior-year three and nine months ended September 30, however, historically SIS's results of operations accounted for less than $0.01 per share of the company's quarterly earnings.

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.

Q3 2020 compared to Q2 2020

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, our net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis increased $1.7 million to $25.06 million compared to $23.32 million for the quarter end June 30, 2020. Our taxable-equivalent earnings on interest earning assets increased $1.3 million, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased $391,000 (see Tables I and II).

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 average interest earning assets increased to $2.74 billion compared to $2.55 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020, while average interest bearing liabilities increased to $2.21 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $2.02 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, our net interest margin decreased to 3.64%, compared to 3.68% for the linked quarter, as both the yields on earning assets and the cost of our interest bearing funds decreased by 16 basis points. At acquisition, Cornerstone's and MVB's deposit costs were significantly lower than Summit's cost of deposits, thus positively impacting our overall cost of funds.

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 3.59% and 3.61% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Q3 2020 compared to Q3 2019

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, our net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis increased $5.4 million to $25.06 million compared to $19.63 million for the quarter end September 30, 2019. Our taxable-equivalent earnings on interest earning assets increased $2.1 million, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased $3.3 million (see Tables I and II).

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 average interest earning assets increased 27.6% to $2.74 billion compared to $2.15 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2019, while average interest bearing liabilities increased 23.3% from $1.79 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $2.21 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, our net interest margin increased to 3.64%, compared to 3.63% for the same period of 2019, as the yields on earning assets decreased 78 basis points, while the cost of our interest bearing funds decreased by 92 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 3.59% for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased 3.3% compared to the same period of 2019 principally due to lower insurance commissions due to the sale of SIS and the gain on sale of SIS recognized in 2019. On a quarterly basis, total noninterest income was 65.1% higher in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to higher realized securities gains. Also, mortgage origination revenue increased during 2020 due to higher volumes of secondary market loans driven primarily by historically low interest rates. Further detail regarding noninterest income is reflected in the following table.

Salaries, commissions, and employee benefits: The increases in these expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods of 2019 are primarily due to an increase in number of employees, resulting from the Cornerstone and MVB branch acquisitions, and general merit raises.

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 Cornerstone and MVB branch acquisitions.

FDIC premiums: For the 2020 periods, FDIC premiums increased as we fully utilized our FDIC's Small Bank Assessment Credits resulting from the reserve ratio meeting the required 1.38 percent threshold and also due to a higher assessment base due to growth in our balance sheet. We expect increased assessments to continue throughout 2020.

Foreclosed properties expense, net: The decrease in foreclosed properties expense, net of gains/losses, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily due to realized gains on sales in 2020 versus realized losses in the same period of 2019; the increase in these expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily due to higher writedowns of foreclosed properties to their fair value.

Merger-related expenses: Merger-related expenses during 2020 are related to the Cornerstone and MVB branch acquisitions.

Other: The increase in other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is largely due to deferred director compensation plan expense of $325,000 in 2020 compared to $6,000 expense in the comparable period of 2019 as a result of the stock market's overall positive performance during Q3 2020. 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. However, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, deferred director compensation expense totaled $316,000 compared to $664,000 for the comparable period of 2019 as the stock market's performance year-to-date 2020 has been significantly less than during the same period of 2019. Additionally, servicing charges related to mortgage warehouse lines increased to $580,000 for the 2020 period compared to $241,000 during the comparable period of 2019, which is reflective of our increased participations.

Income Taxes

55


Our income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 totaled $2.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, our income taxes totaled $5.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate (income tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes) for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 21.2% and 18.4%, respectively and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was 20.1% and 18.2%, respectively. Refer to Note 16 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 credit losses represents charges to earnings necessary to maintain an adequate allowance to cover an estimate of the full amount of expected credit losses relative to loans. 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 $11.5 million and $1.05 million provisions for credit losses (for both funded loans and unfunded commitments) for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019. The projected economic impact of COVID-19 on our loss drivers over the reasonable and supportable forecast period created the need for $7.2 million of additional ACL, which includes the ACL for unfunded commitments. Approximately $1.1 million of the provision was the result of additional ACLL due to the acquisition of Cornerstone and MVB loans. Changes in loan volume and the mix in the underlying portfolio resulted in a $1.1 million increase in the ACLL for the quarter.

We incurred net loan charge-offs of $1,014,000 in third quarter 2020 (0.18 percent of average loans annualized), which included an $880,000 charge-off of a commercial real estate relationship which had previously been fully reserved and exhibited weakness prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to $711,000 net loan charge-offs during third quarter 2019. Net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled $1.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Refer to Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding our past due loans, nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings and information regarding our methodology we employ on a quarterly basis to evaluate the overall adequacy of our allowance for credit losses.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our allowance for loan credit losses totaled $29.4 million, or 1.30% of total loans and $13.1 million, or 0.68% of total loans. The allowance for loan credit losses is considered adequate to cover an estimate of the full amount of expected credit losses relative to loans.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 we had approximately $17.8 million and $19.3 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.

The following is a discussion of the significant changes in our financial position during the first nine months of 2020:

Cash and cash equivalents: Net reduction of $136.6 million is primarily attributable to repayments of short-term Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, funding of $101.3 million of PPP loans and the cash consideration of $14.3 million paid in conjunction with the Cornerstone acquisition.

Securities available for sale: The net decrease of $68.4 million in securities available for sale is principally a result of sales of a large portion of the acquired Cornerstone securities portfolio and the sales of a portion of our tax-exempt municipals securities, whose proceeds were used to fund loan growth and calls and maturities of brokered and direct CDs.

Securities held to maturity: During second quarter 2020, we invested in various municipal securities that we have classified as held to maturity as we have the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Accordingly, they are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

Loans: Mortgage warehouse lines of credit grew $117.5 million during the first nine months of 2020 as we expanded our existing line participations and established two new participations in light of strong mortgage refinance and home purchase activity nationally. Excluding mortgage warehouse lines of credit and Cornerstone and MVB loans acquired, organic loan growth was $145.7 million during the first nine months of 2020, of which $101.3 growth was PPP loans.

Other assets: During 2020, the largest increases in Other assets are as follows:
Right-of-use asset increased $3.0 million due to a new operating lease entered into for a Reston, Virginia location
58


Net derivative assets increased $4.6 million due to a newly entered interest rate cap
Deferred tax assets have increased $5.5 million primarily due to deferred taxes related to increased allowance for credit losses

Deposits: During the first nine months of 2020, noninterest bearing checking deposits increased $159.5 million, interest bearing checking deposits grew $237.1 million, savings deposits grew $180.5 million, and retail CDs increased $41.4 million while brokered CDs declined $86.4 million and Direct CDs decreased $29.3 million.

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 the Cornerstone and MVB branches acquisitions and proceeds from sales of securities.

Subordinated debentures: We issued $30 million of subordinated debt in Q3 2020 in a private placement transaction. The subordinated debt qualifies as Tier 2 capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines, until the debt is within 5 years of its maturity; thereafter the amount qualifying as Tier 2 capital is reduced by 20 percent each year until maturity. This subordinated debt, bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.00% per year, from and including September 22, 2020 to, but excluding, September 30, 2025, payable quarterly in arrears. From and including September 30, 2025 to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly at a variable rate equal to the then current three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 487 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. As provided in the Notes, the interest rate on the Notes during the applicable floating rate period may be determined based on a rate other than three-month term SOFR. This debt has a 10 year term and generally, is not prepayable by us within the first five years.

Shareholders' equity: Changes in shareholders' equity are a result of net income, other comprehensive income, dividends and the impact on retained earnings for adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020.

Refer to Notes 5, 6, 8, and 9 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

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 $1.2 billion or 40.32% of total consolidated assets at September 30, 2020.

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 $873 million.  As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, these advances totaled approximately $141 million and $200 million, respectively.  At September 30, 2020, we had additional borrowing capacity of $733 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 September 30, 2020 was approximately $169 million, which is secured by a pledge of certain consumer and our commercial and industrial loan portfolios.  We have a $6 million unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank.  Also, we have a $298 million portfolio of available for sale securities which can be liquidated to meet liquidity needs.
 
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, pandemic 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.
59



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 September 30, 2020 totaled $272.0 million compared to $247.8 million at December 31, 2019.

Refer to Note 12 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding regulatory restrictions on our capital as well as our subsidiaries’ capital.

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 control interest rate risk principally by matching the maturities of our interest earning assets with similar maturing interest bearing liabilities and by hedging adverse risk exposures with derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps. 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 either the next 12 months or the next 24 months (as footnoted in table below), and then remain stable.  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 following table presents the estimated sensitivity of our net interest income to changes in interest rates, as measured by our earnings simulation model as of September 30, 2020.  The sensitivity is measured as a percentage change in net interest income given the stated changes in interest rates (gradual change over 12 months, stable thereafter) compared to net interest income with rates unchanged in the same period.  The estimated changes set forth below are dependent on the assumptions discussed above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted as of September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020 were effective.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Refer to Note 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 for information regarding legal proceedings not reportable under this Item.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The following risk factor is provided to supplement that discussion.

Our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has created economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected, and are likely to continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of our plans, the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our employees, clients, counterparties and service providers, as well as other market participants, and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to:

Severe unemployment and business disruption and decreased consumer confidence and commercial activity generally, leading to an increased risk of delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures.
Higher and more volatile credit loss expense and high potential for increased charge-offs.
Ratings downgrades, credit deterioration and defaults in many industries, particularly restaurants, hospitality, entertainment, energy and commercial real estate.
A sudden and significant reduction in the valuation of the equity, fixed-income and commodity markets and the significant increase in the volatility of those markets.
A decrease in the rates and yields on U.S. Treasury securities, which may lead to decreased net interest income.
A reduction in the value of the assets that we manage or otherwise administer or service for others, affecting related fee income and demand for our services.

Our financial position and results of operations are particularly susceptible to the ability of our loan customers to meet loan obligations, the availability of our workforce and the availability of our critical vendors. While its effects continue to materialize, the COVID-19 crisis has resulted in a significant decrease in commercial activity throughout our market area as well as nationally. This decrease in commercial activity may cause our clients and vendors to be unable to meet existing payment or other obligations to us. The national public health crisis arising from the COVID-19 crisis and public expectations about it, combined with certain pre-existing factors, including, but not limited to, international trade disputes, inflation risks and oil price volatility, could further destabilize the financial markets and geographies in which we operate. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and uncertainty regarding the sustainability of any economic improvements has impacted the creditworthiness of potential and current borrowers. Borrower loan defaults that adversely affect our earnings correlate with severely deteriorating economic conditions including the unemployment rate, which, in turn, are likely to impact our borrowers' creditworthiness and our ability to make loans.

In addition, the economic pressures and uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 crisis may result in specific changes in consumer and business spending and borrowing and saving habits, affecting the demand for loans and other products and services we offer. Consumers affected by COVID-19 may continue to demonstrate changed behavior even after the crisis is over. For example, consumers may decrease discretionary spending on a permanent or long-term basis, certain industries may take longer to recover -- particularly those that rely on travel or large gatherings -- as consumers may be hesitant to return to full social interaction. We lend to customers operating in such industries including restaurants, hotels/lodging, entertainment, energy, retail and commercial real estate, among others, that have been significantly impacted by COVID-19, and we are continuing to monitor these customers closely.

63


Any disruption to our ability to deliver financial products or services to, or interact with, our clients could result in losses or increased operational costs, harm our reputation or result in regulatory fines, penalties and other sanctions. The COVID-19 crisis could still greatly affect our routine and essential operations due to further limited access to or closures of our branch facilities and other physical offices; and government or regulatory agency orders, among other things. The business and operations of our third-party service providers, many of whom perform critical services for our business, could also be significantly impacted, which in turn could impact us.

The Federal Reserve has taken various actions and the U.S. government has enacted several fiscal stimulus measures to counteract the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and provide economic assistance to individual households and businesses, stabilize the markets and support economic growth. The success of these measures is unknown and they may not be sufficient to fully mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We face an increased risk of litigation and governmental, regulatory and third-party scrutiny as a result of the effects of COVID-19 on market and economic conditions and actions governmental authorities take in response to those conditions. Furthermore, various governmental programs such as the Paycheck Protection Program loan program are complex and our participation may lead to additional litigation and governmental, regulatory and third-party scrutiny, negative publicity and damage to our reputation.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of the virus’s global economic impact, including the availability of credit, adverse impacts on our liquidity and any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.
There are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material impact on our results of operations and heighten many of our known risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
