Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Territorial Bancorp Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed as part of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and consist only of normal recurring adjustments. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

(2) Organization

On July 10, 2009, Territorial Savings Bank completed a conversion from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company. As part of the conversion, Territorial Mutual Holding Company and Territorial Savings Group, Inc., the former holding companies for Territorial Savings Bank, ceased to exist as separate legal entities, and Territorial Bancorp Inc. became the holding company for Territorial Savings Bank. Upon completion of the conversion and reorganization, a special “liquidation account” was established in an amount equal to the total equity of Territorial Mutual Holding Company as of December 31, 2008. The liquidation account is to provide eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who maintain their deposit accounts with Territorial Savings Bank after the conversion with a liquidation interest in the unlikely event of the complete liquidation of Territorial Savings Bank after the conversion. The balance of the liquidation account at December 31, 2017 was $11.0 million.

On June 25, 2014, Territorial Savings Bank converted from a federal savings bank to a Hawaii state-chartered savings bank. On July 10, 2014, Territorial Savings Bank became a member of the Federal Reserve System.

(3) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The amendment seeks to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue as well as to develop common revenue standards for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. The Company reviewed all revenue sources to determine if the sources are in scope for this guidance. Net interest income from financial assets and liabilities are explicitly excluded from the scope of the amendment. The Company’s overall assessment of key in-scope revenue sources include service charges on deposit accounts, rental income from safe deposit boxes and commissions on insurance and annuity sales. Based on the Company’s analysis of these revenue sources, including the amount of revenue, the timing of services rendered and timing of payment for these services, there is no material change in the timing of revenue recognition under the amendment. The Company adopted this amendment on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. Since there was no material impact on the timing of revenue recognition, no adjustment to beginning retained earnings was deemed necessary. See Note 14, Revenue Recognition, for further information.

In January 2016, the FASB amended the Financial Instruments – Overall topic of the FASB ASC. The amendment addresses several aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Included are: (a) a requirement to measure equity investments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (b) a simplification of the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, (c) the elimination of the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, and (d) a requirement to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The Company adopted this amendment as of January 1, 2018, and there was no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In February 2016, the FASB amended the Leases topic of the FASB ASC. The primary effects of the amendment will be to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose certain information about leasing arrangements. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has several lease agreements for branch locations and equipment that will require recognition on the consolidated balance sheets upon adoption of the amendment. The Company will continue to evaluate the effects that the adoption of this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB amended various sections of the FASB ASC related to the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. The amendment changes the threshold for recognizing losses from a “probable” to an “expected” model. The new model is referred to as the current expected credit loss model and applies to loans, leases, held-to-maturity investments, loan commitments and financial guarantees. The amendment requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets as of the reporting date (including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts) and enhanced disclosures that will help financial statement users understand the estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses and evaluating the credit quality of an organization’s portfolio. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the amendment’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the first period the amendment is effective. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements by gathering the information that is necessary to make the calculations required by the amendment. This may result in increased credit losses on financial instruments recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB amended the Compensation – Retirement Benefits topic of the FASB ASC. The amendment requires the service cost component of net benefit cost to be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from employee services. It also requires the other components of net benefit cost to be reported in the income statement separately from the service cost component. The Company adopted this amendment on January 1, 2018, and there was no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB amended the Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income topic of the FASB ASC. Prior to the adoption of the amendment, deferred taxes previously included in accumulated other comprehensive income were not allowed to be adjusted for changes in tax rates. This amendment allows the reclassification of the tax effects resulting from the change in the federal corporate tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was passed in December 2017, from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted in any period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2018 with the reclassification of $1.1 million of deferred taxes from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

The sale of these mortgage-backed securities, for which the Company had already collected a substantial portion of the outstanding purchased principal (at least 85%), is in accordance with the Investments – Debt and Equity Securities topic of the FASB ASC and does not taint management’s assertion of intent to hold remaining securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio to maturity.

Investment securities with amortized costs of $324.1 million and $287.2 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, were pledged to secure deposits made by state and local governments, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and transaction clearing accounts.

Provided below is a summary of investment securities which were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company does not intend to sell held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of value or the securities mature.

Mortgage-Backed Securities. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities were caused by increases in market interest rates subsequent to purchase. All of the mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which are U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, or Ginnie Mae, which is a U.S. government agency. Since the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the Company does not intend to sell these investments until maturity and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such investments prior to recovery of its cost basis, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Trust Preferred Securities. At March 31, 2018, the Company owned one trust preferred security, PreTSL XXIII. PreTSL XXIII has an amortized cost and a remaining cost basis of $259,000 at March 31, 2018. The trust preferred security represents an investment in a pool of debt obligations issued primarily by holding companies for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured financial institutions. This security is classified in the Company’s held-to-maturity investment portfolio.

The trust preferred securities market is considered to be inactive as only six transactions have occurred over the past 75 months in the same tranche of securities that we own and no new issuances of pooled trust preferred securities have occurred since 2007. We used a discounted cash flow model to determine whether this security is other-than-temporarily impaired. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include the following: estimated discount rates, estimated deferral and default rates on collateral, and estimated cash flows.

Based on the Company’s review, the Company’s investment in PreTSL XXIII did not incur additional impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and there is no accumulated other comprehensive loss related to noncredit factors.

Management considers the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2018 to be at an appropriate level to provide for probable losses that can be reasonably estimated based on general and specific conditions at that date. While the Company uses the best information it has available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. To the extent actual outcomes differ from the estimates, additional provisions for credit losses may be required that would reduce future earnings. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the bank regulators periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to increase the allowance based on their analysis of information available at the time of their examination.

There were no loans individually evaluated for impairment with a related allowance for loan loss as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017. Loans individually evaluated for impairment do not have an allocated allowance for loan loss because they were written down to fair value at the time of impairment.

The Company had 13 nonaccrual loans with a book value of $2.6 million at March 31, 2018 and 17 nonaccrual loans with a book value of $4.2 million as of December 31, 2017. The Company collected interest on nonaccrual loans of $30,000 and $38,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, but due to regulatory requirements, the Company recorded the interest as a reduction of principal. The Company would have recognized additional interest income of $45,000 and $59,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, had the loans been accruing interest. The Company did not have any loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The Company primarily uses the aging of loans and accrual status to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio. When a mortgage loan becomes seriously delinquent (90 days or more contractually past due), it displays weaknesses that may result in a loss. As a loan becomes more delinquent, the likelihood of the borrower repaying the loan decreases and the loan becomes more collateral-dependent. A mortgage loan becomes collateral-dependent when the proceeds for repayment can be expected to come only from the sale or operation of the collateral and not from borrower repayments. Generally, appraisals are obtained after a loan becomes collateral-dependent or is four months delinquent. The carrying value of collateral-dependent loans is adjusted to the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. Any commercial real estate, commercial, construction or equity loan that has a loan balance in excess of a specified amount is also periodically reviewed to determine whether the loan exhibits any weaknesses and is performing in accordance with its contractual terms.

There were no loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring during the three months ended March 31, 2018 or 2017. There were no new troubled debt restructurings within the 12 months ended March 31, 2018 that subsequently defaulted.

One of the restructured loans, for $149,000, was more than 149 days delinquent and not accruing interest as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Restructurings include deferrals of interest and/or principal payments and temporary or permanent reductions in interest rates due to the financial difficulties of the borrowers. At March 31, 2018, we had no commitments to lend any additional funds to these borrowers.

The Company had no real estate owned as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017. There were two one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaling $585,000 and one home equity loan for $41,000 in the process of foreclosure as of March 31, 2018, and three one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaling $650,000 and one home equity loan for $41,000 in the process of foreclosure as of December 31, 2017.

Nearly all of our real estate loans are collateralized by real estate located in the State of Hawaii. Loan-to-value ratios on these real estate loans generally do not exceed 80% at the time of origination.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company sold $4.5 million and $8.0 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held for sale and recognized gains of $43,000 and $63,000, respectively. The Company did not have any loans held for sale at March 31, 2018. The Company had one loan held for sale for $403,000 at December 31, 2017.

The Company serviced loans for others of $33.7 million at March 31, 2018 and $35.5 million at December 31, 2017. Of these amounts, $1.5 million relate to securitizations for which the Company continues to hold the related mortgage-backed securities at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The amount of contractually specified servicing fees earned for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $23,000 and $28,000, respectively. The fees are reported in service fees on loan and deposit accounts in the consolidated statements of income.

(7) Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as financings and the obligations to repurchase the identical securities sold are reflected as a liability with the securities collateralizing the agreements classified as an asset. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are summarized as follows:


	March 31, 2018				December 31, 2017
			Weighted				Weighted

Total	$	30,000	1.66	%	$	30,000	1.66	%

Table of Contents

Below is a summary comparing the carrying value and fair value of securities pledged to secure repurchase agreements, the repurchase liability, and the amount at risk at March 31, 2018. The amount at risk is the greater of the carrying value or fair value over the repurchase liability and refers to the potential loss to the Company if the secured lender fails to return the security at the maturity date of the agreement. All the agreements to repurchase are with JP Morgan Securities and the securities pledged are mortgage-backed securities issued and guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. The repurchase liability cannot exceed 90% of the fair value of securities pledged. In the event of a decline in the fair value of securities pledged to less than the required amount due to market conditions or principal repayments, the Company is obligated to pledge additional securities or other suitable collateral to cure the deficiency.

(9) Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (Pension Plan) that covers most employees with at least one year of service. Effective December 31, 2008, under approved changes to the Pension Plan, there were no further accruals of benefits for any participants and benefits will not increase with any additional years of service. Net periodic benefit cost, subsequent to December 31, 2008, has not been significant and is not disclosed in the table below.

The Company also sponsors a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP), a noncontributory supplemental retirement benefit plan, which covers certain current and former employees of the Company for amounts in addition to those provided under the Pension Plan.

The components of net periodic benefit cost were as follows:


	SERP

Table of Contents

The components of net periodic benefit cost other than the service cost component are included in other general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. In prior years, these amounts were included in salaries and employee benefits along with the service cost component. The prior year amounts in the consolidated statements of income have been adjusted for comparability purposes. The Company used the amounts disclosed in prior years to estimate the amount of the required adjustment.

(10) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Effective January 1, 2009, Territorial Savings Bank adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for eligible employees. The ESOP borrowed $9.8 million from the Company and used those funds to acquire 978,650 shares, or 8%, of the total number of shares issued by the Company in its initial public offering. The shares were acquired at a price of $10.00 per share.

The loan is secured by the shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP over the 20-year term of the loan with funds from Territorial Savings Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and dividends payable on the shares. The interest rate on the ESOP loan is an adjustable rate equal to the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal. The interest rate adjusts annually and will be the prime rate on the first business day of the calendar year.

Shares purchased by the ESOP are held by a trustee in an unallocated suspense account, and shares are released annually from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The trustee allocates the shares released among participants on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. As shares are committed to be released from the suspense account, Territorial Savings Bank reports compensation expense based on the average fair value of shares released with a corresponding credit to stockholders’ equity. The shares committed to be released are considered outstanding for earnings per share computations. Compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $376,000 and $321,000, respectively.

Shares held by the ESOP trust were as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2018		2017
Allocated shares		410,145		397,912
Unearned shares		526,028		538,261
Total ESOP shares		936,173		936,173
Fair value of unearned shares, in thousands	$	15,602	$	16,616

The ESOP restoration plan is a nonqualified plan that provides supplemental benefits to certain executives who are prevented from receiving the full benefits contemplated by the ESOP’s benefit formula. The supplemental cash payments consist of payments representing shares that cannot be allocated to the participants under the ESOP due to IRS limitations imposed on tax-qualified plans. We accrue for these benefits over the period during which employees provide services to earn these benefits. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we accrued $95,000 and $117,000, respectively, for the ESOP restoration plan.

(11) Share-Based Compensation

On August 19, 2010, Territorial Bancorp Inc. adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for awards of stock options and restricted stock to key officers and outside directors. In accordance with the Compensation – Stock Compensation topic of the FASB ASC, the cost of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan is based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions for dividend yield, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and option term. These assumptions are based on our judgments regarding future events, are subjective in nature, and cannot be determined with precision. The cost of the

Table of Contents

awards will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three, five- or six-year vesting period during which participants are required to provide services in exchange for the awards.

The Company recognized compensation expense, measured as the fair value of the share-based award on the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Share-based compensation is recorded in the statement of income as a component of salaries and employee benefits with a corresponding increase in shareholders’ equity. The table below presents information on compensation expense and the related tax benefit for all share-based awards:

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we issued 7,772 shares of common stock, net, in exchange for 18,008 stock options and 10,236 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the provisions of our equity incentive plan, optionees are permitted to use the value of our common stock they own in a stock swap transaction or net settlement to pay the exercise price of stock options.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $2,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to the stock option plan that will be amortized over a three-year vesting period.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards are accounted for as fixed grants using the fair value of the Company’s stock at the time of grant. Unvested restricted stock may not be disposed of or transferred during the vesting period. Restricted stock carries the right to receive dividends, although dividends attributable to restricted stock are retained by the Company until the shares vest, at which time they are paid to the award recipient.

The table below presents the restricted stock activity:


		Weighted

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued 10,019 shares of restricted stock to certain members of executive management under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. The fair value of the restricted stock is based on the value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock will vest over three years from the date of grant.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $516,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued 12,018 performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) to certain members of executive management under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. These PRSUs will vest in the first quarter of 2021 after our Compensation Committee determines whether a performance condition that compares the Company’s return on average equity to the SNL Bank Index is achieved. Depending on the Company’s performance, the actual number of these PRSUs that are issued at the end of the vesting period can vary between 0% to 150% of the target award. For the PRSUs, an estimate is made of the number of shares expected to vest based on the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved to determine the amount of compensation expense to be recognized. This estimate is re-evaluated quarterly and total compensation expense is adjusted for any change in the current period.

The fair value of these PRSUs is based on the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $390,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to these PRSUs. Performance will be measured over a three-year performance period and will be cliff vested.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued 3,005 of PRSUs to certain members of executive management under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. These PRSUs will vest in the first quarter of 2021 after our Compensation Committee determines whether a market condition that compares the Company’s total stock return to the SNL Bank Index is achieved. The number of shares that will be expensed will not be adjusted for performance. The fair value of these PRSUs is based on a Monte Carlo valuation of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The assumptions which were used in the Monte Carlo valuation of the PRSUs are:

Grant date: March 8, 2018

Performance period: January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020

2.82 year risk-free rate on grant date: 2.39%

December 31, 2017 closing price: $30.87

Closing stock price on the date of grant: $30.73

Annualized volatility (based on 2.82 year historical volatility as of the grant date): 16.6%

(12) Earnings Per Share

Holders of unvested restricted stock receive nonforfeitable dividends at the same rate as common shareholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted stock awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered to be participating securities in the earnings per share computation using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings are allocated to common shareholders and participating securities according to their respective rights to earnings.

The table below presents the information used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share:

The reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was related to the FASB ASC amendment to the Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income topic issued in February 2018. This amendment allowed the reclassification of deferred taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. See Note 3, Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, for additional information.

(14)Revenue Recognition

The Company’s contracts with customers are generally short-term in nature, with cycles of one year or less. These can range from an immediate term for services such as wire transfers, foreign currency exchanges and cashier’s check purchases, to several days for services such as processing annuity and mutual fund sales. Some contracts may be of an ongoing nature, such as providing deposit account services, including ATM access, check processing, account analysis and check ordering. However, provision of an assessable service and payment for such service is usually concurrent or closely timed. Contracts related to financial instruments, such as loans, investments and debt, are excluded from the scope of this reporting requirement.

After analyzing the Company’s revenue sources, including the amount of revenue received, the timing of services rendered and the timing of payment for these services, the Company has determined that the rendering of services and the payment for such services are generally closely matched. Any differences are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company generally records income when payment for services is received.

Revenue from contracts with customers is reported in service fees on loan and deposit accounts and in other noninterest income in the consolidated statement of income. The table below reconciles the revenue from contracts with customers and other revenue reported in those line items:


	Service Fees on
	Loan and Deposit
(Dollars in thousands)	Accounts		Other		Total
March 31, 2018:
Revenue from contracts with customers	$	320	$	41	$	361

Other revenue		180		28		208
Total	$	556	$	82	$	638

(15) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB ASC, the Company groups its financial assets and liabilities valued at fair value into three levels based on the markets in which the financial assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:

· Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

· Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Table of Contents

· Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that require the use of significant judgment or estimation.

In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic, the Company bases its fair values on the price that it would expect to receive if an asset were sold or the price that it would expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Also as required, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements.

The Company uses fair value measurements to determine fair value disclosures. Investment securities held for sale and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. From time to time, the Company may be required to record other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, impaired loans and investments, and mortgage servicing assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Investment Securities Available for Sale. The estimated fair values of U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities are considered Level 2 inputs because the valuation for investment securities utilized pricing models that varied based on asset class and included trade, bid and other observable market information.

Interest Rate Contracts. The Company may enter into interest rate lock commitments with borrowers on loans intended to be sold. To manage interest rate risk on the lock commitments, the Company may also enter into forward loan sale commitments. The interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sale commitments are treated as derivatives and are recorded at their fair value determined by referring to prices quoted in the secondary market for similar contracts. Interest rate contracts that are classified as assets are included with prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet while interest rate contracts that are classified as liabilities are included with accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We have historically operated as a traditional thrift institution. The significant majority of our assets consist of long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, which we have funded primarily with deposit accounts, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. As a result, we may be vulnerable to increases in interest rates, as our interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than our interest-earning assets.

We have continued our focus on originating one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Our emphasis on conservative loan underwriting has resulted in continued low levels of nonperforming assets. Our nonperforming assets, which can include nonaccrual loans and real estate owned, totaled $2.6 million, or 0.13% of total assets, at March 31, 2018, compared to $4.2 million, or 0.21% of total assets, at December 31, 2017. Our nonperforming loans and loss experience has enabled us to maintain a relatively low allowance for loan losses in relation to other peer institutions and correspondingly resulted in low levels of provisions for loan losses. Our provisions for loan losses were $9,000 and $71,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Other than our loans for the construction of one- to four-family residential homes, we do not offer “interest only” mortgage loans (where the borrower pays only interest for an initial period, after which the loan converts to a fully amortizing loan) on one- to four-family residential properties. We also do not offer loans that provide for negative amortization of principal, such as “Option ARM” loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on their loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. We do not offer “subprime loans” (loans that generally target borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios) or Alt-A loans (traditionally defined as nonconforming loans having less than full documentation). We also do not own any private label mortgage-backed securities that are collateralized by Alt-A, low or no documentation or subprime mortgage loans.

We sold $4.5 million and $8.0 million of fixed-rate mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $9.2 million to $98.0 million for the three

Table of Contents

months ended March 31, 2018 and remained constant at $69.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase remained constant at $30.0 million and $55.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Our investments in mortgage-backed securities have been issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which are U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, or Ginnie Mae, which is a U.S. government agency. These agencies guarantee the payment of principal and interest on our mortgage-backed securities. We do not own any preferred stock issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we owned $411.8 million and $407.2 million, respectively, of mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in Territorial Bancorp Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017

Assets. At March 31, 2018, our assets were $2.056 billion, an increase of $51.9 million, or 2.6%, from $2.004 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase in assets was primarily the result of a $33.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $15.7 million increase in total loans receivable and a $4.4 million increase in total investment securities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $65.1 million at March 31, 2018, an increase of $33.0 million since December 31, 2017. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily caused by a $67.9 million increase in deposits, which was offset by a $15.7 million increase in total loans, a $9.2 million decrease in borrowings, $5.8 million of common stock repurchases, a $4.4 million increase in total investment securities and the payment of $1.9 million of common stock dividends.

Loans. Total loans were $1.505 billion at March 31, 2018, or 73.2% of total assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the loan portfolio increased by $15.7 million, or 1.1%. The increase in the loan portfolio primarily occurred as the production of new one- to four-family residential loans exceeded principal repayments and loan sales.

Securities. At March 31, 2018, our securities portfolio totaled $412.0 million, or 20.0% of total assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the securities portfolio increased by $4.4 million, or 1.1%. The increase in the securities portfolio was due to new security purchases exceeding principal repayments. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, $15.0 million of securities were purchased for the held-to-maturity portfolio.

At March 31, 2018, none of the underlying collateral consisted of subprime or Alt-A (traditionally defined as nonconforming loans having less than full documentation) loans.

At March 31, 2018, we owned a trust preferred security with an amortized cost of $259,000. This security represents an investment in a pool of debt obligations primarily issued by holding companies of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured financial institutions.

The trust preferred securities market is considered to be inactive as only six transactions have occurred over the past 75 months in the same tranche of securities we own and no new issuances of pooled trust preferred securities have occurred since 2007. We use a discounted cash flow model to determine whether this security is other-than-temporarily impaired. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include the following: estimated discount rates, estimated deferral and default rates on collateral, and estimated cash flows.

Based on our review, our investment in the trust preferred security did not incur additional impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Table of Contents

Deposits. Deposits were $1.665 billion at March 31, 2018, an increase of $67.9 million, or 4.2%, since December 31, 2017. The growth in deposits was primarily due to an increase of $70.1 million in certificates of deposit during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in certificates of deposit is primarily due to a $67.8 million increase in deposits made by state and local governments.

Borrowings. Our borrowings consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and funds borrowed under securities sold under agreements to repurchase. During the three months ending March 31, 2018, total borrowings decreased to $128.0 million at March 31, 2018 from $137.2 million at December 31, 2017. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $9.2 million to $98.0 million and securities sold under agreements to repurchase remained constant at $30.0 million. We have not required any additional borrowings to fund our operations. Instead, we have primarily funded our operations with additional deposits, proceeds from loan sales and principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities.

Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity decreased to $232.4 million at March 31, 2018 from $234.9 million at December 31, 2017. The decrease in stockholders’ equity occurred mainly due to the repurchase of common stock totaling $6.1 million and the payment of dividends of $1.9 million that exceeded net income of $4.8 million.

Average Balances and Yields

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and rates, and certain other information at and for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances and are included with accrual loans in the tables. However, no interest income was attributed to nonaccrual

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

General. Net income increased by $499,000, or 11.5%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net income was due to an $824,000 decrease in income taxes, a $579,000 increase in net interest income and a $62,000 decrease in loan loss provisions. These were partially offset by a $686,000 increase in noninterest expense and a $280,000 decrease in noninterest income.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $579,000, or 3.9%, to $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Interest income increased by $1.5 million, or 8.7%, due to a $120.5 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a seven basis point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets. Interest expense increased by $874,000, or 41.2%, due to a $114.8 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 17 basis point increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were 3.03% and 3.13%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 3.13% and 3.21% respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decreases in the interest rate spread and in the net interest margin are attributed to a 17 basis point increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities, which was partially offset by a seven basis point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $1.5 million, or 8.7%, to $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Interest income on loans increased by $1.4 million, or 10.3%, to $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in interest income on loans occurred primarily because the average balance of loans grew by $141.4 million, or 10.4%, as new loan originations exceeded loan repayments and loan sales.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $874,000, or 41.2%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Interest expense on deposits increased by $800,000, or 48.5%, from $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in interest expense on deposits was due to an increase in the average outstanding balance and the average rate paid on deposits. The average outstanding balance of deposits increased by $110.6 million, or 7.6%, to $1.570 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $1.459 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The growth in deposits is primarily due to a $95.4 million increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit. The average rate paid on deposits increased by 17 basis points from 0.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to 0.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to a 50 basis point increase in certificate of deposit rates. The increase in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit is primarily due to higher interest rates paid on newly opened deposits from state and local governments. Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances rose to $419,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $254,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in interest expense on advances occurred because of a $29.3 million increase in the average balance and a 24 basis point increase in the cost of advances. The increase in the average balance and the cost of advances occurred as we obtained long-term advances to extend the maturity of our borrowings and reduce interest rate risk.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded provisions for loan losses of $9,000 and $71,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively. The reduction in loan loss provisions is due to a reduction in nonperforming loans and relatively low levels of loan losses. The provisions for loan losses included a net charge-off of $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and a net recovery of $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The provisions recorded resulted in ratios of the allowance for loan losses to total loans of 0.17% and 0.19% at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Nonaccrual loans totaled $2.6 million at March 31, 2018, or 0.17% of total loans at that date, compared to $3.5 million of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2017, or 0.25% of total loans at that date. Nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 consisted primarily of one- to four-family residential real estate loans. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at March 31, 2018 and 2017. For additional information see Note (6), “Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noninterest Income. The following table summarizes changes in noninterest income between the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,				Change
	2018		2017		$ Change		% Change
				(Dollars in thousands)
Service fees on loan and deposit accounts	$	415	$	556	$	(141)	(25.4)	%
Income on bank-owned life insurance		215		226		(11)	(4.9)	%

Other		69		82		(13)	(15.9)	%
Total	$	742	$	1,022	$	(280)	(27.4)	%

Noninterest income decreased by $280,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in service fees on loan and deposit accounts was primarily due to a decrease in fee income from brokering loans to other financial institutions and from incentives received in the prior year on a new debit card agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we received proceeds of $1.6 million from the sale of $1.5 million of held-to maturity mortgage-backed securities, resulting in gross realized gains of $95,000. We did not sell any held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The sale of these mortgage-backed securities, for which we had already collected a substantial portion of the original purchased principal (at least 85%), was in accordance with the Investments — Debt and Equity Securities topic of the FASB ASC and does not taint management’s assertion of intent to hold remaining securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio to maturity.

Noninterest Expense. The following table summarizes changes in noninterest expense between the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,					Change
	2018		2017		$ Change		% Change
				(Dollars in thousands)
Salaries and employee benefits	$	5,647	$	5,083	$	564	11.1	%
Occupancy		1,516		1,449		67	4.6	%
Equipment		942		866		76	8.8	%
Federal deposit insurance premiums		153		148		5	3.4	%
Other general and administrative expenses		1,135		1,161		(26)	(2.2)	%
Total	$	9,393	$	8,707	$	686	7.9	%

Noninterest expense increased by $686,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $564,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits that occurred because of a decrease in the capitalized cost of new loan originations and an increase in the minimum average hourly wage rate we pay to our employees to $15.00 an hour. As new loans are originated, compensation expense is reduced due to the capitalization of the cost of the new loans. Fewer loans were originated in the first three months of 2018 compared to the first three months of 2017. The decrease in the number of new loans originated resulted in a reduction of loan cost capitalization and a higher compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Starting on January 1, 2018, Territorial Savings Bank also raised the minimum hourly wage rate it pays to $15.00 an hour to share the benefits it is receiving from the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35.0% in 2017 to 21.0% effective for 2018.

Income Tax Expense. Income taxes were $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, reflecting an effective tax rate of 26.7%, compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, reflecting an effective tax rate of 37.4%. The reduction in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is due to the decrease in the federal corporate tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%, effective January 1, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank, loan repayments, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, proceeds from loan sales and principal repayments on securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We have established an Asset/Liability Management Committee, consisting of our President and Chief Executive Officer, our Vice Chairman and Co-Chief Operating Officer, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and our Vice President and Controller, which is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of March 31, 2018.

We regularly monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of:

(i)

expected loan demand;

(ii)

purchases and sales of investment securities;

(iii)

expected deposit flows and borrowing maturities;

(iv)

yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and

(v)

the objectives of our asset/liability management program.

Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits or securities and may also be used to pay off short-term borrowings.

Our most liquid asset is cash. The amount of this asset is dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $65.1 million. On that date, we had $30.0 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase outstanding and $98.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding, with the ability to borrow an additional $603.3 million under Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

At March 31, 2018, we had $14.8 million in loan commitments outstanding, most of which were for fixed-rate loans, and had $26.6 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers. Certificates of deposit due within one year at March 31, 2018 totaled $173.8 million, or 10.4% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan sales, brokered deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before March 31, 2019. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Our primary investing activities are originating loans and purchasing mortgage-backed securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 we originated $57.0 million and $87.4 million of loans, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 we purchased $15.0 million of securities. No securities were purchased in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Table of Contents

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, stock repurchases and dividend payments. We experienced net increases in deposits of $67.9 million and $55.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank, which provide an additional source of funds. Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $98.0 million and $69.0 million at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We had the ability to borrow up to an additional $603.3 million and $579.4 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. We also utilize securities sold under agreements to repurchase as another borrowing source. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were $30.0 million and $55.0 million at March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Territorial Bancorp Inc. is a separate legal entity from Territorial Savings Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay dividends, repurchase shares of its common stock and for other corporate purposes. Territorial Bancorp Inc.’s primary source of liquidity is dividend payments from Territorial Savings Bank. The ability of Territorial Savings Bank to pay dividends to Territorial Bancorp Inc. is subject to regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2018, Territorial Bancorp Inc. (on an unconsolidated, stand-alone basis) had liquid assets of $17.5 million.

Territorial Savings Bank and the Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. Effective January 1, 2015, the well capitalized threshold for Tier 1 risk-based capital was increased from 6.0% to 8.0% and a new capital standard, common equity tier 1 risk-based capital, was implemented with a 6.5% ratio requirement for a financial institution to be considered well capitalized. Additionally, effective January 1, 2015, consolidated regulatory capital requirements identical to those applicable to the subsidiary depository institutions became applicable to savings and loan holding companies over $1.0 billion in assets, such as the Company. The capital requirements become fully-phased in on January 1, 2019. At March 31, 2018, Territorial Savings Bank and the Company exceeded all of the fully-phased in regulatory capital requirements and are considered to be “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. In addition to establishing the minimum regulatory capital requirements, the regulations limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer requirement is being phased in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increasing each year until fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019. During calendar year 2017, the capital conservation buffer was 1.25%. It increased to 1.875% as of January 1, 2018.

The required Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios are based on the fully-phased in capital ratios in the Basel III capital regulations plus the 2.50% capital conservation buffer that becomes effective on January 1, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our potential future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. In addition, we enter into commitments to sell mortgage loans.

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities and agreements with respect to investments. Except for an increase of $70.1 million in certificates of deposit and a decrease of $700,000 in loan commitments between December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, there have not been any material changes in contractual obligations and funding needs since December 31, 2017.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee, which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.

Because we have historically operated as a traditional thrift institution, the significant majority of our assets consist of long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, which we have funded primarily with deposit accounts, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. In addition, there is little demand for adjustable-rate mortgage loans in the Hawaii market area. This has resulted in our being particularly vulnerable to increases in interest rates, as our interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than our interest-earning assets. We sold $4.5 million and $8.0 million of fixed-rate mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, to reduce our interest rate risk. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we acquired $61.5 million of deposits from state and local governments with terms greater than two years. These deposits were used to reduce interest rate risk by extending the maturity of deposits.

Our policies do not permit hedging activities, such as engaging in futures, options or swap transactions, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage-backed securities.

Economic Value of Equity. We use an interest rate sensitivity analysis that computes changes in the economic value of equity (EVE) of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. EVE represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market-risk-sensitive instruments in the event of an instantaneous and sustained 100 to 400 basis point increase or a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below. Given the current relatively low level of market interest rates, an EVE calculation for an interest rate decrease of greater than 100 basis points has not been prepared.

Table of Contents

The following table presents our internal calculations of the estimated changes in our EVE as of December 31, 2017 (the latest date for which we have available information) that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the interest rate yield curve.

Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

(2)

EVE is the difference between the present value of an institution’s assets and liabilities.

(3)

Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.

(4)

EVE Ratio represents EVE divided by the present value of assets.

Interest rates on Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities have increased by 33 basis points between December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018. The increase in interest rates has not likely had a material effect on estimated EVE.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in EVE. Modeling changes in EVE requires making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the EVE table presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the EVE table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our EVE and net interest income and will differ from actual results.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2018. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
