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, 2021.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 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 2021 audited financial statements and Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted
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. The adoption of ASU 2020-08 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Pending Adoption

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 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. The amendments improve comparability after the business combination by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2021-08 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method. ASU 2022-01 clarifies the guidance in ASC 815 on fair value hedge accounting of interest rate risk for portfolios of financial assets and is intended to better align hedge accounting with an organization’s risk management strategies. In 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12 to better align the economic results of risk management activities with hedge accounting. One of the major provisions of that standard was the addition of the last-of-layer hedging method. For a closed portfolio of fixed-rate prepayable financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments, such as mortgages or mortgage-backed securities, the last-of-layer method allows
9


an entity to hedge its exposure to fair value changes due to changes in interest rates for a portion of the portfolio that is not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults, and other events affecting the timing and amount of cash flows. ASU 2022-01 renames that method the portfolio layer method. For public business entities, ASU 2022-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2022-01 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings in ASC Subtopic 310-40, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, ASU 2022-02 requires entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC Subtopic 3126-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measured at Amortized Cost. ASU 2022-02 will be effective for us on January 1, 2023 though early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on our 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.

At March 31, 2022, we had troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") of $20.8 million, of which $18.6 million were current with respect to restructured contractual payments. At December 31, 2021, our TDRs totaled $20.9 million, of which $18.7 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. 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.

The following tables present defaults during the stated period of TDRs that were restructured during the prior 12 months. For purposes of these tables, a default is considered as either the loan was past due 30 days or more at any time during the period, or the loan was fully or partially charged off during the period.

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.

Special Mention:  Commercial loans categorized as Special Mention 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans based on year of origination is as follows:

Long-term borrowings:  Our long-term borrowings of $674,000 and $679,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 $1.68 billion of residential mortgage loans, certain commercial loans, mortgage backed securities and securities of U.S. Government agencies and corporations.
 
Subordinated debentures: We issued $75 million of subordinated debentures, net of $1.67 million debt issuance costs, during fourth quarter 2021 in a private placement transaction, which had a net balance of $73.5 million at March 31, 2022 and $73.4 million at December 31, 2021. 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 3.25% per year, from and including November 16, 2021 to, but excluding, December 1, 2026, payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including December 1, 2026 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 230 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. This debt has a 10 years term and generally, is not prepayable by us within the first five years.

We issued $30 million of subordinated debentures, net of $664,000 debt issuance costs, during third quarter 2020 in a private placement transaction, which had a net balance of $29.5 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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. This debt has a 10 years term and generally, is not prepayable by us within the first five years.

34


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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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.

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. 

There were no grants of SARs or stock options during first quarter 2022. During third quarter 2021, we granted 54,947 SARs with a $9.44 grant date fair value per SAR that become exercisable ratably over seven years (14.3% per year) and expire ten years after the grant date. Also during 2021, we granted 122,542 SARs with an $9.34 grant date fair value per SAR that become exercisable ratably over five years (20% per year) and expire ten years after the grant date.

The fair value of our employee stock options and SARs granted under the Plans is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that would otherwise have a significant effect on the value of employee stock options and SARs granted but are not considered by the model. Because our employee stock options and SARs have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options and SARs at the time of grant. The assumptions used to value SARs granted in 2021 are as follows:

We recognize compensation expense based on the estimated number of stock awards expected to actually vest, exclusive of the awards expected to be forfeited.  During the first three months of 2022 and 2021, total stock compensation expense for all share-based arrangements was $169,000 and $126,000 and the related deferred tax benefits were approximately $41,000 and $30,000. At March 31, 2022 our total unrecognized compensation expense related to all nonvested awards not yet recognized totaled $2.18 million and on a weighted average basis, will be recognized over the next 2.31 years.

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 thousandsMarch 31,
2022
Commitments to extend credit: 
Revolving home equity and credit card lines$99,419 
Construction loans296,068 
Other loans422,148 
Standby letters of credit23,070 
Total$840,705 

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 provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $1.12 million and $(485,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The ACL on off-balance-sheet credit exposures totaled $8.39 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $7.28 million at December 31, 2021 and is included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

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. PREFERRED STOCK

In April 2021, we sold through a private placement 1,500 shares or $15.0 million of Series 2021 6% Fixed-Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value, with a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock is non-convertible and will pay noncumulative dividends, if and when declared by the Summit board of directors, at a rate of 6.0% per annum. Dividends declared will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year.

NOTE 13.  REGULATORY MATTERS

Our bank subsidiary, Summit Community Bank, Inc. (“Summit Community”), is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking regulatory agencies. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Summit Community must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  Our bank subsidiary’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Summit Community to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1("CET1"), Total capital and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  We believe, as of March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended.

NOTE  14.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash flow hedges

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

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 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 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 two interest rate caps as follows:

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 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%.

A $100 million notional interest rate cap with an effective date of December 29, 2020 and expiring on December 18, 2025, was designated as a cash flow hedge of $100 million of certain indexed interest bearing demand deposit accounts. Under the terms of this cap we will hedge the variability of cash flows when the indexed rate of SOFR is above 0.50%.

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 2021 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 July 12, 2021 we acquired four full-service MVB branch banking offices and two MVB drive-up banking locations in southern West Virginia whose results are included in our financial statements from the acquisition dates forward, impacting comparisons to the prior-year periods.

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 2021 acquisition and organic loan growth, average interest earning assets increased by 13.7% for the first three months in 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 while our net interest earnings on a tax equivalent basis increased 12.5%.  Our tax equivalent net interest margin decreased 4 basis points as our yield on interest earning assets decreased 12 basis points while our cost of interest bearing funds decreased 9 basis points.

COVID-19 IMPACTS

Overview

Significant progress has been made to combat the outbreak of COVID-19; however, the global pandemic adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which our clients operate and could still impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company.

Impact on our Operations 

While it appears that epidemiological and macroeconomic conditions are trending in a positive direction as of March 31, 2022, if there is a resurgence in the virus, we could experience further adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While it is not possible to know the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 or the impact of any potential resulting measures to curtail its spread on future operations, we are disclosing potentially material items of which we are aware.



43



Impact on our Financial Position and Results of Operations

Lending and Credit Risks: Improving conditions around COVID-19 had an impact on our allowance for credit losses ("ACL") throughout the prior year as we experienced a decline in required reserves over that period. COVID-19 had little impact on required ACL levels, our financial condition and results of operations for first quarter 2022. We have not experienced any material charge-offs related to COVID-19. Our ACL calculation, and resulting provision for credit losses, are significantly impacted by changes in forecasted economic conditions. Should economic conditions worsen as a result of a resurgence in the virus and resulting measures to curtail its spread, we could experience increases in our required ACL and record additional credit loss expense. It is possible that our asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

While all industries experienced adverse impacts as a result of COVID-19, we had no material exposure (on balance sheet loans and commitments to lend greater than 5% of the loan portfolio) to loan categories that management considered to be "at-risk" of significant impact as of March 31, 2022. We continue to work with customers directly affected by COVID-19. As a result of the current economic environment caused by COVID-19, we continue to engage in communication with borrowers to better understand their situation and the challenges faced, allowing us to respond proactively as needs and issues arise.

Capital and Liquidity: 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 March 31, 2022, 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 10.5% at March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances were $61.3 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 March 31, 2022, the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio totaled $374.9 million, $238.7 million of which was unpledged as collateral. The Company's bank subsidiary’s unused borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh at March 31, 2022 was $1.04 billion, and it maintained $407.9 million of borrowing availability at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s discount window.

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 2021 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, 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 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Form 10-K for a discussion of the methodology 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 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our application of critical accounting policies since December 31, 2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary

Net income applicable to common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $11.5 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to $10.4 million, or $0.80 per diluted share for the same period of 2021. The increased earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were primarily attributable to increased net interest income due to our growth. Returns on average equity and assets for the first three months of 2022 were 14.20% and 1.30%, respectively, compared with 14.51% and 1.31% for the same period of 2021.

MVB's results of operations are included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition, and therefore our 2022 results reflect increased levels of average balances, income and expense as compared to the same periods of 2021 results. At consummation (prior to fair value acquisition adjustments), the MVB branch transaction consisted primarily of $54.4 million loans acquired and $164.0 million deposits assumed.

Net Interest Income

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

Q1 2022 compared to Q4 2021

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, our net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis increased $718,000 to $29.8 million compared to $29.1 million for the quarter end December 31, 2021. Our taxable-equivalent earnings on interest earning assets increased $1,072,000, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased $354,000 (see Tables I and II).

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, average interest earning assets increased to $3.35 billion compared to $3.31 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2021, while average interest bearing liabilities increased to $2.64 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $2.61 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, our net interest margin increased to 3.61%, compared to 3.49% for the linked quarter, as the yields on earning assets increased 16 basis points and the cost of our interest bearing funds increased by 6 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 3.57% and 3.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, our net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis increased $3.3 million to $29.8 million compared to $26.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Our taxable-equivalent earnings on interest earning assets increased $3.1 million, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased $171,000 (see Tables I and II).

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, average interest earning assets increased 13.7% to $3.35 billion compared to $2.95 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021, while average interest bearing liabilities increased 11.2% from $2.38 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $2.64 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, our net interest margin decreased to 3.61%, compared to 3.65% for the same period of 2021, as the yields on earning assets decreased 12 basis points, while the cost of our interest bearing funds decreased by 9 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 3.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for credit loss accounts for various types of financial instruments including loans, securities and off-balance-sheet credit exposure after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level which, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb expected credit losses over the lives of the respective financial instruments.

We recorded $1.95 million and $1.50 million provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following table summarizes the changes in the various factors that comprise the components of credit loss expense.

Our reasonable and supportable economic forecasts at March 31, 2022 resulted in a net decrease to the provision for the quarter primarily due to our hotel and motel lending portfolio returning to pre-pandemic levels of operations. In addition, our provision for individually evaluated credits also decreased due to an improved collateral valuation for one relationship within our hotel and motel lending portfolio.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased 8.6% compared to the same period of 2021 principally due to realized losses on debt securities in first quarter 2022 compared to realized gains on debt securities in first quarter 2021 and lower mortgage origination revenue as mortgage refinance opportunities have become more limited which more than offset the higher service charges on deposit accounts and increased gain on equity investments. Further detail regarding noninterest income is reflected in the following table.

Noninterest Expense

Table V below shows the breakdown of the changes.

Salaries, commissions, and employee benefits: The increases in these expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 is primarily due to general merit raises and the following:

Higher group health insurance premiums which were $822,000 during first quarter 2022 compared to $513,000 during first quarter 2021; and
Accrued expenses related to employee bonus plans increased from $690,000 during first quarter 2021 to $1.17 million in first quarter 2022.

Equipment expense: Equipment expenses have increased primarily due to depreciation and amortization related to various technological upgrades, both hardware and software, including interactive teller machine upgrades and recent acquisitions.

Foreclosed properties expense, net of (gains)/losses: The decrease in foreclosed properties expense, net of (gains)/losses, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to gains recognized on sales of foreclosed properties which totaled $157,000 in first quarter 2022 compared to losses of $113,000 during first quarter 2021.

Acquisition-related expenses: Acquisition-related expenses decreased during 2022 as no transactions occurred during 2022.

Other: The decrease in other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 is largely due to the following:

Deferred director compensation plan-related income of $400,000 in 2022 compared to plan-related expense of $236,000 in the comparable period of 2021 as a result of the stock market's overall declined performance during Q1 2022. 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
During the first three months of 2022, Virginia franchise tax totaled $148,000 compared to $90,000 for the same period of 2021 primarily due to our balance sheet growth
Internet banking expense increased to $342,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $278,000 for the same period of 2021 due to increased internet banking activity by clients

Income Taxes

Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 totaled $3.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate (income tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes) for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 21.8% and 22.1%, respectively. Refer to Note 16 of the accompanying financial statements for further information regarding our income taxes.

The following is a discussion of the significant changes in our financial position during the first three months of 2022:

Cash and cash equivalents: Net decrease of $17.2 million is primarily attributable to increased customer loans.

Debt securities available for sale: The net decrease of $26.2 million in debt securities available for sale is principally attributable to a $22.5 million decrease in the fair value of the portfolio, purchases of $22.2 million securities, sales of taxable municipals and mortgage-backed securities of $16.1 million and principal paydowns on mortgage-backed securities of $8.7 million.

Loans: Mortgage warehouse lines of credit declined $63.0 million during the first quarter of 2022 due to a reduction in size of our participation arrangement with a regional bank to fund residential mortgage warehouse lines of medium- and large-sized mortgage originators located throughout the United States. Excluding mortgage warehouse lines of credit, loan growth was $152.2 million during the first quarter of 2022, which included PPP loans declining $4.9 million.

50


Deposits: During the first three months of 2022, noninterest bearing checking deposits increased $60.0 million, interest bearing checking deposits grew $7.67 million, savings deposits grew $3.91 million as we increased new commercial account relationships while brokered CDs increased $18.1 million, retail CDs decreased $23.9 million and Direct CDs decreased $0.8 million.

Shareholders' equity - common: Changes in common shareholders' equity are a result of net income, other comprehensive income and common dividends. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity of the accompanying financial statements for further details.

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our allowance for loan credit losses totaled $32.6 million, or 1.14% of total loans and $32.3 million, or 1.17% 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.

We incurred net loan charge-offs of $508,000 in first three months of 2022 (0.07 percent of average loans annualized), compared to $189,000 net loan charge-offs during first three months of 2021 (0.03 percent of average loans annualized).

Refer to Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Form 10-K for a discussion of the methodology 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.

52


At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 we had approximately $6.9 million and $9.9 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.

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 $1.7 billion or 46.73% of total consolidated assets at March 31, 2022.

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 $1.18 billion.  As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, these advances totaled approximately $141 million.  At March 31, 2022, we had additional borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion through FHLB programs.  We have established a line with the Federal Reserve Bank to be used as a contingency liquidity vehicle.  The amount available on this line at March 31, 2022 was approximately $414 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 $375 million portfolio of available for sale debt 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.

One of our continuous goals is maintenance of a strong capital position.  Through management of our capital resources, we seek to provide an attractive financial return to our shareholders while retaining sufficient capital to support future growth.  Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2022 totaled $330.5 million compared to $327.5 million at December 31, 2021.

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 asset sensitive. 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 March 31, 2022.  The sensitivity is measured as a percentage change in net interest income given the stated changes in interest rates (change over 12 months, stable thereafter or change over 24 months, stable thereafter, see footnotes below) 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 March 31, 2022, an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e).  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022 were effective.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
