(1) Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Business

Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company” or "TCBI"), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in November 1996 and commenced banking operations in December 1998. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Texas Capital Bank, National Association (the "Bank”). We serve the needs of commercial businesses and successful professionals and entrepreneurs located in Texas as well as operate several lines of business serving a regional or national clientele of commercial borrowers. We are primarily a secured lender, with the majority of our loans held for investment, excluding mortgage finance loans and other national lines of business, being made to businesses headquartered or with operations in Texas. Our national lines of business provide specialized lending products to businesses throughout the United States.

Basis of Presentation

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and to generally accepted practices within the banking industry. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures presented in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments and the disclosures made are adequate to make the interim financial information not misleading. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "2020 Form 10-K"). Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.

Subsequent Event

On April 20, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our portfolio of mortgage servicing rights to a third party. The third party has also, in a separate letter of intent, agreed to extend employment opportunities to many of the Company’s Mortgage Correspondent Aggregation (“MCA”) employees and the Company has agreed to make best efforts to cooperate in transitioning its MCA client base to the third party, resulting in the wind-down of the Company’s MCA program. The sale and transition of employees and clients is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions, and will result in the Company recording an expected gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") and severance costs in the second quarter of 2021, both of which are not expected to be material.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for credit losses, the fair value of financial instruments and the status of contingencies are particularly susceptible to significant change.

Preferred stock dividends		3,779		2,438

Denominator for dilutive earnings per share—adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions		51,069,511		50,474,802

Diluted earnings/(loss) per common share		$	1.33	$	(0.38)

(1)SARs and RSUs outstanding of 80,263 at March 31, 2021 and 428,007 at March 31, 2020 have not been included in diluted earnings/(loss) per share because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.

At March 31, 2021, we had 108 securities in an unrealized loss position, comprised of 5 U.S. government agency securities, 2 CRT securities and 101 residential mortgage-backed securities. Based upon our March 31, 2021 review of securities with unrealized losses we have determined that all losses resulted from factors not deemed credit-related. We have evaluated the near-term prospects of each securities portfolio in relation to the severity of the unrealized losses and adverse conditions related to the securities among other factors. Based on that evaluation management has determined that we have the ability and intent to hold the securities until recovery of fair value and have recorded the unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI").

Available-for-sale debt securities with carrying values of approximately $28.1 million and $1.6 million were pledged to secure certain customer repurchase agreements and deposits, respectively, at March 31, 2021. The comparative amounts at December 31, 2020 were $31.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Equity Securities

Equity securities consist of Community Reinvestment Act funds and investments related to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $34.4 million and $33.8 million, respectively, in equity securities recorded at fair value.

We recorded a $6.0 million negative provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2021, compared to a provision of $96.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. The decreased provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2020 resulted primarily from a decrease in charge-offs and improvement in the economic outlook as the economy begins to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We recorded $6.4 million in net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2021, compared to $57.7 million during the first quarter of 2020. Criticized loans totaled $945.1 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $675.9 million at March 31, 2020. Criticized loan levels remain elevated when compared to pre-pandemic levels due to the downgrade of loans to borrowers that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.

(1)Loans past due 90 days and still accruing includes premium finance loans of $3.1 million. These loans are generally secured by obligations of insurance carriers to refund premiums on canceled insurance policies. The receipt of the refund of premiums from the insurance carriers can take 180 days or longer from the cancellation date.

(2)As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, none of our non-accrual loans were earning interest income on a cash basis. Additionally, no interest income was recognized on non-accrual loans for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Accrued interest of $339,000 was reversed during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we did not have any loans considered restructured that were not on non-accrual. Of the non-accrual loans at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $33.7 million and $45.4 million, respectively, met the criteria for restructured. These loans had no unfunded commitments at their respective balance sheet dates.

We did not have any loans that were restructured during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not have any loans that were restructured within the last 12 months that subsequently defaulted.

(1) Includes $44.1 million of loans held for sale that are carried at lower of cost or market as of December 31, 2020, as well as $5.8 million as of December 31, 2019.

No loans held for sale were on non-accrual as of March 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020 we had $7.0 million in non-accrual loans held for sale, comprised of one loan previously reported in loans held for investment that was transferred to loans held for sale as of December 31, 2020 and subsequently sold at carrying value. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $16.4 million and $16.7 million, respectively, of loans held for sale that were 90 days or more past due. The $16.4 million in loans held for sale that were 90 days or more past due at March 31, 2021 included $3.3 million of loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies that were purchased out of Ginnie Mae securities and recorded as loans held for sale, at fair value, on the balance sheet. Interest on these past due loans accrues at the debenture rate guaranteed by the U.S. government. Also included in the $16.4 million were $12.9 million in loans that, pursuant to Ginnie Mae servicing guidelines, we have the unilateral right, but not the obligation, to repurchase if defined delinquent loan criteria are met, and therefore must record as held for sale on our balance sheet regardless of whether the repurchase option has been exercised. At December 31, 2020, $3.3 million of the $16.7

million in loans held for sale that were 90 days or more past due were loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies that were purchased out of Ginnie Mae securities and recorded as loans held for sale, at fair value, on the balance sheet and $13.4 million were loans that we have the unilateral right, but not the obligation, to repurchase if defined delinquent loan criteria are met.

From time to time we retain the right to service the loans sold through our MCA program, creating MSRs which are recorded as assets on our consolidated balance sheets. A summary of MSR activity is as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2021		2020
MSRs:
Balance, beginning of year	$	131,391	$	70,707

Change in valuation allowance	(16,448)		10,015
Balance, end of period	$	9,519	$	15,818
MSRs, net	$	121,096	$	70,619
MSRs, fair value	$	132,580	$	70,619

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our servicing portfolio of residential mortgage loans had outstanding principal balances of $13.6 billion and $13.8 billion, respectively.

In connection with the servicing of these loans, we hold deposits in the name of investors representing escrow funds for taxes and insurance, as well as collections in transit to the investors. These escrow funds are segregated and held in separate non-interest-bearing deposit accounts at the Bank. These deposits, included in total non-interest-bearing deposits on the consolidated balance sheets, were $153.8 million at March 31, 2021 and $152.6 million at December 31, 2020.

At March 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of MSRs were positively impacted by decreased prepayment speeds as compared to December 31, 2020, which resulted in a $16.4 million release of impairment being recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to a $10.0 million impairment charge for the first three months of 2020. To mitigate exposure to potential impairment charges from adverse changes in the fair value of our residential MSR portfolio, we enter into certain derivative contracts, as is further discussed in Note 11 - Derivative Financial Instruments. The following summarizes the assumptions used by management to determine the fair value of MSRs:


	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Average discount rates	9.08	%	9.09	%
Expected prepayment speeds	12.10	%	16.37	%
Weighted-average life, in years	6.3		4.9

A sensitivity analysis of changes in the fair value of our MSR portfolio resulting from certain key assumptions is presented in the following table:


(in thousands)	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
50 bp adverse change in prepayment speed	$	(15,593)	$	(12,203)
100 bp adverse change in prepayment speed	(27,503)		(16,062)

These sensitivities are hypothetical and actual results may differ materially due to a number of factors. The effect on fair value of a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined with confidence because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may be correlated with changes in other factors, which could impact the sensitivity analysis as presented.

In conjunction with the sale and securitization of loans held for sale, we may be exposed to liability resulting from repurchase, indemnification and make-whole agreements. Our estimated exposure related to those agreements totaled $648,000 and $621,000 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. $30,000 in make-whole obligation payments were made during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

On January 31, 2014, the Bank issued $175.0 million of subordinated notes in an offering to institutional investors exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and 12 C.F.R. Part 16. The notes mature in January 2026 and bear interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually. The notes are unsecured and are subordinate to the Bank’s obligations to its depositors, its obligations under banker’s acceptances and letters of credit, certain obligations to Federal Reserve Banks and the FDIC and the Bank’s obligations to its other creditors, except any obligations which expressly rank on a parity with or junior to the notes. The notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes, subject to applicable limitations. At the beginning of each of the last five years of the life of the notes, the amount that is eligible to be included in Tier 2 capital is reduced by 20% of the original amount of the notes (net of redemptions). In 2021, the amount of the notes that qualify as Tier 2 capital has been reduced by 20%.

On March 9, 2021, the Bank issued and sold $275 million of senior unsecured credit-linked notes. The notes mature on September 30, 2024, and accrue interest at a rate equal to the higher of LIBOR plus 4.50% or 4.25%, payable quarterly on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate on the notes was 5.54%. The notes effectively transfer the risk of first losses on a $2.2 billion reference pool of the Bank’s mortgage warehouse loans to the purchasers of the notes in an amount up to $275.0 million. In the event of a failure to pay by the relevant mortgage originator, insolvency of the relevant mortgage originator, or restructuring of such loans that results in a loss on a loan included in the reference pool, the principal balance of the notes will be reduced to the extent of such loss and recognized as a debt extinguishment gain within non-interest income on our consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. The purchasers of the notes have the option to acquire the underlying mortgage loan collateralizing the reference warehouse line of credit in lieu of a principal reduction on the notes. Losses on our warehouse lines of credit have not generally been significant. The notes are recorded in long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets and accounted for at amortized cost. The fair value of the credit-linked note is based on observable inputs, when available, and as such are categorized as Level 2 liabilities. Because the notes are variable rate debt, the fair value approximates carrying value.

(8) Regulatory Restrictions

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory (and possibly additional discretionary) actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

The Basel III regulatory capital framework (the "Basel III Capital Rules") adopted by U.S. federal regulatory authorities, among other things, (i) establishes the capital measure called "Common Equity Tier 1" ("CET1"), (ii) specifies that Tier 1 capital consist of CET1 and "Additional Tier 1 Capital" instruments meeting stated requirements, (iii) requires that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to other components of capital and (iv) defines the scope of the deductions/adjustments to the capital measures.

Additionally, the Basel III Capital Rules require that we maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer with respect to each of CET1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, which provides for capital levels that exceed the minimum risk-based capital adequacy requirements. A financial institution with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

In February 2019, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule (the "2019 CECL Rule") that revised certain capital regulations to account for changes to credit loss accounting under GAAP. The 2019 CECL Rule included a transition option that allows banking organizations to phase in, over a three-year period, the day-one adverse effects of adopting the new accounting standard related to the measurement of current expected credit losses on their regulatory capital ratios (three-year transition option). In March 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that maintains the three-year transition option of the 2019 CECL Rule and also provides banking organizations that were required under GAAP to implement CECL before the end of 2020 the option to delay for two years an estimate of the effect of CECL on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology's effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (five-year transition option). We adopted CECL on January 1, 2020 and have elected to utilize the five-year transition option.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of CET1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, each as defined in the regulations. Management believes, as of March 31, 2021, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Financial institutions are categorized as well capitalized or adequately capitalized, based on minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, CET1 and Tier 1 leverage ratios. As shown in the table below, the Company’s capital ratios exceeded the regulatory definition of adequately capitalized as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Based upon the information in its most recently filed call report, the Bank met the capital ratios necessary to be well capitalized. The regulatory authorities can apply changes in classification of assets and such changes may retroactively subject the Company to changes in capital ratios. Any such change could reduce one or more capital ratios below well-capitalized status. In addition, a change may result in

imposition of additional assessments by the FDIC or could result in regulatory actions that could have a material effect on our condition and results of operations.

Because our Bank had less than $15.0 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009, we are allowed to continue to classify our trust preferred securities, all of which were issued prior to May 19, 2010, as Tier 1 capital.

The table below summarizes our actual and required capital ratios under the Basel III Capital Rules. The ratios presented below include the effects of our election to utilize the five-year CECL transition described above.

(1) The Tier 1 capital ratio (to average assets) is not impacted by the Basel III Capital Rules; however, the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC may require the Company and the Bank, respectively, to maintain a Tier 1 capital ratio (to average assets) above the required minimum.

Our mortgage finance loan volumes can increase significantly at month-end, causing a meaningful difference between ending balance and average balance for any period. As CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios are calculated using quarter-end risk-weighted assets and our mortgage finance loans are 100% risk-weighted (excluding MCA mortgage loans held for sale, which receive lower risk weights), the period-end fluctuation in these balances can significantly impact our reported ratios. Due to the actual risk profile and liquidity of this asset class, we do not believe that the period-end balance is representative of risk characteristics that would justify higher allocations, and while we manage capital allocated to mortgage finance loans based on changing trends in average balances, we do monitor our capital allocation to confirm that all capital levels remain above well-capitalized levels. To better align the actual risk profile of this asset class to its required capital allocation, the Bank issued and sold senior unsecured credit-linked notes in the first quarter of 2021 that effectively transfer the risk of first losses on a $2.2 billion reference pool of the Bank's mortgage warehouse loans to the purchasers of the notes in an amount up to $275.0 million. The issuance of these notes decreases the required risk-weight on the $2.2 billion reference pool, which significantly improves our reported ratios.

Dividends that may be paid by banks are routinely restricted by various regulatory authorities. The amount that can be paid in any calendar year without prior approval of our Bank’s regulatory agencies cannot exceed the lesser of the net profits (as defined) for that year plus the net profits for the preceding two calendar years, or retained earnings. The Basel III Capital Rules further limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by our Bank. No dividends were declared or paid on our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2021, or 2020.

(9) Stock-based Compensation

We have long-term incentive plans under which stock-based compensation awards are granted to employees and directors by the board of directors, or its designated committee. Grants are subject to vesting requirements and may include, among other things, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), restricted stock and performance units, or any combination thereof. There are 2,550,000 total shares authorized for grant under the plans.

Tax-exempt asset-backed securities

The fair value of tax-exempt asset-backed securities is based on a discounted cash flow model, which utilizes Level 3, or unobservable, inputs, the most significant of which were a discount rate and weighted-average life. At March 31, 2021, the discount rates utilized ranged from 2.95% to 3.03% and the weighted-average life ranged from 5.28 years to 5.30 years. On a combined amortized cost weighted-average basis a discount rate of 2.99% and weighted-average life of 5.29 years were utilized to determine the fair value of these securities at March 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, the combined weighted-average discount rate and weighted-average life utilized were 2.49% and 5.53 years, respectively.

CRT securities

The fair value of CRT securities is based on a discounted cash flow model, which utilizes Level 3, or unobservable, inputs, the most significant of which were a discount rate and weighted-average life. At March 31, 2021, the discount rates utilized ranged from 3.32% to 8.27% and the weighted-average life ranged from 6.4 years to 10.3 years. On a combined amortized cost weighted-average basis a discount rate of 4.97% and a weighted-average life of 7.7 years were utilized to determine the fair value of these securities at March 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, the combined weighted-average discount rate and combined weighted-average life utilized were 4.36% and 7.49 years, respectively.

Loans held for sale

The fair value of loans held for sale using Level 3 inputs include loans that cannot be sold through normal sale channels and thus require significant management judgment or estimation when determining the fair value. The fair value of such loans is generally based upon quoted prices of comparable loans with a liquidity discount applied. At March 31, 2021, the fair value of these loans was calculated using a weighted-average discounted price of 98.4%, compared to 97.2% at December 31, 2020.

Loans held for investment

Certain collateral-dependent loans held for investment are reported at fair value when, based upon an individual evaluation, the specific allocation of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the loan's amortized cost is based upon the fair value of the loan's underlying collateral. The $9.1 million fair value of loans held for investment at March 31, 2021 reported above

Table of Contents

includes loans held for investment with a carrying value of $11.4 million that were reduced by specific allowance allocations totaling $2.3 million based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 3 inputs. The $21.2 million fair value of loans held for investment at December 31, 2020 reported above includes loans with a carrying value of $25.3 million that were reduced by specific allowance allocations totaling $4.1 million based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 3 inputs.

	Received		Paid		Received		Paid
Non-hedging interest rate swaps	2.99	%	1.27	%	3.14	%	1.38	%

The weighted-average strike rate for outstanding interest rate caps was 3.07% at March 31, 2021 and 3.41% at December 31, 2020.

Our credit exposure on derivative instruments is limited to the net favorable value and interest payments by each counterparty. In some cases collateral may be required from the counterparties involved if the net value of the derivative instruments exceeds a nominal amount. Our credit exposure associated with these instruments, net of any collateral pledged, was approximately $70.4 million at March 31, 2021, and approximately $102.7 million at December 31, 2020. Collateral levels are monitored and adjusted on a regular basis for changes in interest rate swap and cap values, as well as for changes in the value of forward sale commitments. At March 31, 2021, we had $74.5 million in cash collateral pledged for these derivatives, of which $73.5 million was included in interest-bearing deposits in other banks and $1.0 million was included in accrued interest receivable and other assets. At December 31, 2020, we had $108.3 million in cash collateral pledged for these derivatives, of which $104.4 million was included in interest-bearing deposits in other banks and $3.9 million was included in accrued interest receivable and other assets.

We also enter into credit risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which we are either a participant or a lead bank. The risk participation agreements entered into by us as a participant bank provide credit protection to the financial institution counterparty should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with that financial institution. We are party to 9 risk participation agreements where we are a participant bank with a notional amount of $119.0 million at March 31, 2021, compared to 9 risk participation agreements having a notional amount of $119.5 million at December 31, 2020. The maximum estimated exposure to these agreements, assuming 100% default by all obligors, was approximately $4.9 million at March 31, 2021 and $6.0 million at December 31, 2020. The fair value of these exposures was insignificant to the consolidated financial statements at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Risk participation agreements entered into by us as the lead bank provide credit protection to us should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with us. We are party to 15 risk participation agreements where

we are the lead bank having a notional amount of $160.6 million at March 31, 2021, compared to 16 agreements having a notional amount of $165.9 million at December 31, 2020.

(12) Material Transactions Affecting Stockholders' Equity

On March 3, 2021, we completed an issuance of 5.75% fixed rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series B, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25 per depositary share) (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and an issuance and sale of 12,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of the Series B Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are not cumulative and will be paid when declared by our board of directors to the extent that we have legally available funds to pay dividends. If declared, dividends will accrue and be payable quarterly, in arrears, on the liquidation preference amount, on a non-cumulative basis, at a rate of 5.75% per annum. Holders of preferred stock will not have voting rights, except with respect to certain changes in the terms of the preferred stock, certain dividend non-payments and as otherwise required by applicable law. Net proceeds from the sale totaled $289.7 million. The additional equity is being used for general corporate purposes, including funding regulatory capital infusions into the Bank, and may be used to redeem, in whole or in part and subject to receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, our 6.5% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock Series A, par value $0.01 per share, in accordance with its terms.

(13) New Accounting Standards

ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)" ("ASU 2020-04") provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. We anticipate this ASU will simplify any modifications we execute between the selected start date (yet to be determined) and December 31, 2022 that are directly related to LIBOR transition by allowing prospective recognition of the continuation of the contract, rather than extinguishment of the old contract resulting in writing off unamortized fees/costs. We are evaluating the impacts of this ASU and have not yet determined whether LIBOR transition and this ASU will have material effects on our business operations and consolidated financial statements.

Certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of the 2020 Form 10-K may cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements appearing in this discussion and analysis.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and financial analysis contained in this report that are not historical facts may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may also be contained in our future filings with SEC, in press releases and in oral and written statements made by us or with our approval that are not statements of historical fact and constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance taking into account all information available to us at the time such statements are made. Words such as “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “goals,” “objectives,” “expects,” “intends,” “seeks,” “likely,” “targeted,” “continue,” “remain,” “will,” “should,” “may” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

Forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements about the credit quality of our loan portfolio, general economic conditions in the United States and in our markets, including the continued impact on our customers from volatility in oil and gas prices, the material risks and uncertainties for the U.S. and world economies, and for our business, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, expectations regarding rates of default and loan losses, volatility in the mortgage industry, our business strategies and our expectations about future financial performance, future growth and earnings, the appropriateness of our allowance for credit losses and provision for credit losses, the impact of changing regulatory requirements and legislative changes on our business, increased competition, interest rate risk, new lines of business, new product or service offerings and new technologies.

Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which change over time, are based on management’s expectations and assumptions at the time the statements are made and are not guarantees of future results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Deterioration of the credit quality of our loan portfolio or declines in the value of collateral related to external factors such as commodity prices, real estate values or interest rates, increased default rates and loan losses or adverse changes in the industry concentrations of our loan portfolio.

•The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting us and our customers, employees and third-party service providers; the adverse impacts of the pandemic on our business, financial position, operations and prospects have been material. It is not possible to accurately predicts the extent, severity or duration of the pandemic or when normal economic and operational conditions will return.

•Operational issues stemming from, and/or capital spending necessitated by, the potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems, on which we are highly dependent.

•Changes in interest rates, which may affect our net income and other future cash flows, or the market value of our assets, including the market value of investment securities.

•Changes in our ability to access the capital markets, including changes in our credit ratings.

•Changes in the value of commercial and residential real estate securing our loans or in the demand for credit to support the purchase and ownership of such assets.

•Changing economic conditions or other developments adversely affecting our commercial, entrepreneurial and professional customers.

•Adverse economic conditions and other factors affecting our middle market customers and their ability to continue to meet their loan obligations.

•The failure to correctly assess and model the assumptions supporting our allowance for credit losses, causing it to become inadequate in the event of deteriorations in loan quality and increases in charge-offs, or increases or decreases to our allowance for credit losses as a result of the implementation of CECL.

•Changes in the U.S. economy in general or the Texas economy specifically resulting in deterioration of credit quality, increases in non-performing assets or charge-offs or reduced demand for credit or other financial services we offer, including the effects from declines in the level of drilling and production related to volatility in oil and gas prices and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

•Adverse changes in economic or market conditions, in Texas, the United States or internationally, that could affect the credit quality of our loan portfolio or our operating performance.

•Unanticipated effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 may limit its benefits or adversely impact our business, which could include decreased demand for borrowing by our middle market customers or increased price competition that offsets the benefits of decreased federal income tax expense.

•Unexpected market conditions or regulatory changes that could cause access to capital market transactions and other sources of funding to become more difficult to obtain on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us.

•The inadequacy of our available funds to meet our deposit, debt and other obligations as they become due, or our failure to maintain our capital ratios as a result of adverse changes in our operating performance or financial condition, or changes in applicable regulations or regulator interpretation of regulations impacting our business or the characterization or risk weight of our assets.

•The failure to effectively balance our funding sources with cash demands by depositors and borrowers.

•The failure to manage information systems risk or to prevent cyber-incidents against us, our customers or our third party vendors, or to manage risks from failures, disruptions or security breaches affecting us, our customers or our third party vendors, which risks have been materially enhanced by our increased reliance on technology to support associates working outside our offices.

•The costs and effects of cyber-incidents or other failures, disruptions or security breaches of our systems or those our third-party providers.

•The failure to effectively manage our interest rate risk resulting from unexpectedly large or sudden changes in interest rates, maturity imbalances in our assets and liabilities, potential adverse effects to our borrowers including their inability to repay loans with increased interest rates and the impact to our net interest income from the increasing cost of interest-bearing deposits.

•The failure of our enterprise risk management framework, our compliance program, or our corporate governance and supervisory oversight functions to timely identify and address emerging risks adequately, which may result in unexpected losses.

•Uncertainty regarding the future of the London Interbank Offered Rate LIBOR, and the expected transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks.

•Legislative and regulatory changes imposing further restrictions and costs on our business, a failure to maintain well capitalized or well managed status or regulatory enforcement actions against us, and uncertainty related to future implementation and enforcement of regulatory requirements resulting from the current political environment.

•Changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve.

•The effect of changes in laws, regulations, policies and guidelines (including, among others, laws, regulations, policies and guidelines concerning taxes, banking, securities and monetary and fiscal policies) with which we and our subsidiaries must comply under the new Biden Administration and the effects of any such changes on our business and results of operations;

•The failure to successfully execute our business strategy, which may include expanding into new markets, developing and launching new lines of business or new products and services within the expected timeframes and budgets or to successfully manage the risks related to the development and implementation of these new businesses, products or services.

•The failure to identify, attract and retain key personnel or the loss of key individuals or groups of employees.

•Increased or more effective competition from banks and other financial service providers in our markets.

Forward-looking statements should not be viewed as predictions and should not be the primary basis upon which investors evaluate an investment in our securities.

Overview of Our Business Operations

We commenced our banking operations in December 1998. An important aspect of our growth strategy has been our ability to effectively service and manage a large number of loans and deposit accounts in multiple markets in Texas, as well as several lines of business serving a regional or national clientele of commercial borrowers. Accordingly, we have created an operations infrastructure sufficient to support our lending and banking operations that we continue to build out as needed to serve a larger customer base and specialized industries.

Significant transactions affecting our financial statements during the three months ended March 31, 2021 included:

•Issuance of 5.75% fixed rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series B (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and issuance and sale of 12,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of the Series B Preferred Stock. Net proceeds from the sale totaled $289.7 million. The additional equity is being used for general corporate purchases, including funding regulatory capital infusions into the Bank, and may be used to redeem, in whole or in part and subject to receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, our 6.5% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock Series A, par value $0.01 per share, in accordance with its terms.

•Issuance of $275.0 million in senior unsecured credit-linked notes that mature on September 30, 2024. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to expand the Bank's warehouse lending program and better serve our clients in all market environments.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictive measures taken by governments, businesses and individuals caused unprecedented uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity in the United States and globally, including the markets that we serve. As the restrictive measures have been eased during 2020 and into 2021, the U.S. economy has begun to recover and with the availability and distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine, we anticipate continued improvements in commercial and consumer activity and the U.S. economy. As of March 31, 2021, governor of Texas removed all restrictions initially set in place which has allowed businesses to reopen at full capacities.

While positive headwinds exist, we recognize that our business and consumer customers are experiencing varying degrees of financial distress, which is expected to continue into the second quarter of 2021, especially if new COVID-19 variant infections

increase and new economic restrictions are mandated. Commercial activity has improved, but has not returned to the levels existing prior to the outbreak of the pandemic, which may result in our customers’ inability to meet their loan obligations to us. In addition, the economic pressures and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in changes in consumer spending behaviors, which may negatively impact the demand for loans and other services we offer. Our borrowing base includes customers in industries such as energy, hotel/lodging, restaurants, entertainment, retail and commercial real estate, all of which have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We recognize that these industries may take longer to recover as consumers may be hesitant to return to full social interaction or may change their spending habits on a more permanent basis as a result of the pandemic. We continue to monitor these customers closely.

We have taken deliberate actions to ensure that we have the balance sheet strength to serve our clients and communities, including increases in liquidity and managing our assets and liabilities in order to maintain a strong capital position, however, future economic conditions are subject to significant uncertainty. Uncertainties associated with the pandemic include the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and any related variant infections, the availability and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, the impact to our customers, employees and vendors and the impact to the economy as a whole. COVID-19 had a significant adverse impact on our business, financial position and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2020 and while uncertainty still exists, we believe we are well-positioned to operate effectively through the present economic environment and do expect to experience improvements in our financial results during 2021.

While we are still operating under our business continuity plan, we have begun to bring certain employees back into the office. Our branch locations are currently open and operating during normal business hours, although customers are admitted into the branches only between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. We continue to take additional precautions within our branch locations, including enhanced cleaning procedures, to ensure the safety of our customers and our employees.

Results of Operations

Summary of Performance

We reported net income of $71.9 million and net income available to common stockholders of $68.2 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to a net loss of $16.7 million and net loss available to common stockholders of $19.1 million for the first quarter of 2020. On a fully diluted basis, earnings per common share were $1.33 for the first quarter of 2021, compared to a loss per common share of $0.38 for the first quarter of 2020. Return on average common equity (“ROE”) was 10.08% and return on average assets ("ROA") was 0.73% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to a negative 2.85% and negative 0.20%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in net income, ROE and ROA for the first quarter of 2021 resulted primarily from a $102.0 million decrease in provision for credit losses.

Details of the changes in the various components of net income are discussed below.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $200.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $228.3 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in yields on earning assets and a shift in earning asset composition, offset by a decrease in funding costs.

Average earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $5.6 billion compared to the same period in 2020, and included a $3.2 billion increase in average total investment securities, reflecting the deployment of excess liquidity into higher-yielding investment securities and a $5.4 billion increase in average liquidity assets, partially offset by a $2.9 billion decrease in average loans held for sale. Throughout 2020, management took deliberate actions to increase liquidity balances to ensure we had the balance sheet strength to serve our clients during the COVID-19 pandemic and through the first three months of 2021 these balances have remained high. The decrease in average loans held for sale compared to the first quarter of 2020 resulted from holding purchased loans for shorter durations than in prior periods in order to limit exposure to forbearance risk caused by economic uncertainties. The decline in net interest income on loans held for sale resulting from shorter hold times was offset by an increase in non-interest income. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to a $1.4 billion increase in average interest-bearing deposits and a $69.2 million increase in long-term debt, partially offset by a $333.9 million decrease in average other borrowings. Average demand deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased to $14.4 billion from $10.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 2.09% compared to 2.78% for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the effect of declining interest rates on earning asset yields and a shift in earning asset composition, primarily increases in lower-yielding investment securities and liquidity assets, as well as declines in loans held for sale and loans held for investment, excluding mortgage finance, partially offset by lower funding costs compared to the first quarter of 2020.

The yield on total loans held for investment decreased to 3.71% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 4.41% for the same period in 2020, and the yield on earning assets decreased to 2.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 3.72% for the same period in 2020. The average cost of total deposits decreased to 0.24% for the first quarter of 2021 from 0.90% for the first quarter of 2020 and total funding costs, including all deposits, long-term debt and stockholders' equity decreased to 0.29% for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 0.92% for the first quarter of 2020.

(1)Other non-interest income includes such items as letter of credit fees, bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") income, dividends on FHLB and FRB stock, income from legal settlements and other general operating income.

Non-interest income increased by $27.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $39.1 million, compared to $11.8 million for the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to a $18.6 million increase in net gain/(loss) on sale of loans held for sale, a $4.3 million increase in servicing income and a $3.6 million increase in other non-interest income. The increase in net gain/(loss) on sale of loans held for sale was due to lower hedge costs in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of holding purchased loans for shorter durations than in prior periods, which was offset by the decline in net interest income on loans held for sale noted above. The increase in servicing income was due to an increase in the outstanding balance of our servicing portfolio.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased $15.1 million compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in marketing expense, legal and professional expense, servicing-related expenses and merger-related expenses, partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits and communication and technology expense.

Total gross loans held for investment were $24.5 billion at March 31, 2021, a decline of $21.1 million from December 31, 2020 primarily due to declines in our energy and mortgage finance portfolios, partially offset by an increase in commercial loans, primarily due to the continued funding of loans under the Paycheck Protection Plan during the first quarter of 2021. The decline in the energy portfolio is consistent with our strategy of planned reductions in this portfolio as it has experienced higher historic losses. Mortgage finance loans relate to our mortgage warehouse lending operations in which we purchase mortgage loan ownership interests that are typically sold within 10 to 20 days. Volumes fluctuate based on the level of market demand for the product and the number of days between purchase and sale of the loans, which can be affected by changes in overall market interest rates, and tend to peak at the end of each month. Despite the decline in the first quarter of 2021, balances in this portfolio remain elevated related to increases in volumes driven by continued lower long-term interest rates.

We originate a substantial majority of all loans held for investment. We also participate in syndicated loan relationships, both as a participant and as an agent. As of March 31, 2021, we had $1.8 billion in syndicated loans, $475.9 million of which we administer as agent. All syndicated loans, whether we act as agent or participant, are underwritten to the same standards as all other loans we originate. As of March 31, 2021, none of our syndicated loans were on non-accrual.

Portfolio Geographic and Industry Concentrations

Although more than 50% of our total loan exposure is outside of Texas and more than 50% of our deposits are sourced outside of Texas, our Texas concentration remains significant. As of March 31, 2021, a majority of our loans held for investment, excluding mortgage finance loans and other national lines of business, were to businesses with headquarters or operations in Texas. This geographic concentration subjects the loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within this state. We also make loans to customers that are secured by assets located outside of Texas. The risks created by this concentration have been considered by management in the determination of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses.

(1)As of March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, non-accrual loans included $33.7 million, $45.4 million and $22.3 million, respectively, in loans that met the criteria for restructured.

(2)At March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, loans past due 90 days and still accruing includes premium finance loans of $3.1 million, $6.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively.

(3)Includes one non-accrual loan previously reported in loans HFI that was transferred to loans HFS as of December 31, 2020 and subsequently sold at carrying value.

(4)Includes loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies that were repurchased out of Ginnie Mae securities. Loans are recorded as loans held for sale and carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Interest on these past due loans accrues at the debenture rate guaranteed by the U.S. government. Also includes loans that, pursuant to Ginnie Mae servicing guidelines, we have the unilateral right, but not the obligation, to repurchase if defined delinquent loan criteria are met and therefore must record as loans held for sale on our balance sheet regardless of whether the repurchase option has been exercised.

Total non-performing assets at March 31, 2021 decreased $24.3 million from December 31, 2020 and decreased $121.4 million compared to March 31, 2020. The decrease from both December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020 was primarily due to a decline in non-accrual energy loans.

Potential problem loans consist of loans that are performing in accordance with contractual terms, but for which we have concerns about the borrower’s ability to comply with repayment terms because of the borrower’s potential financial difficulties. We monitor these loans closely and review their performance on a regular basis. At March 31, 2021, we had $145.1 million in loans of this type, compared to $193.2 million at December 31, 2020 and $98.2 million at March 31, 2020.

Summary of Credit Loss Experience

The provision for credit losses, which includes a provision for losses on unfunded commitments, is a charge to earnings to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level consistent with management’s assessment of expected losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. We recorded a $6.0 million negative provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2021, compared to provisions of $32.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 and $96.0 million in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2020 resulted primarily from a decrease in charge-offs and improvement in the economic outlook as the economy begins to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We recorded $6.4 million in net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2021, compared to $65.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2020 and $57.7 million during the first quarter of 2020. Criticized loans totaled $945.1 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $918.4 million at December 31, 2020 and $675.9 million at March 31, 2020. Criticized loan levels remain elevated when compared to pre-pandemic levels due to the downgrade of loans to borrowers that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The allowance for credit losses, including the allowance for losses on unfunded commitments reported on the consolidated balance sheets in other liabilities, totaled $259.6 million at March 31, 2021, $272.0 million at December 31, 2020 and $251.1 million at March 31, 2020. The total allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans held for investment was 1.06% at March 31, 2021, compared to 1.11% at December 31, 2020 and 1.03% at March 31, 2020. The total allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans held for investment, excluding mortgage finance, was 1.69% at March 31, 2021, compared to 1.77% at December 31, 2020 and 1.49% at March 31, 2020. The increase in the total allowance as a percentage of loans held for investment at March 31, 2021, compared to March 31, 2020, is due primarily to an increase in the allowance for credit losses, resulting from reserve build related to higher criticized loan levels and continued economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Loans Held for Sale

Through our MCA program we commit to purchase residential mortgage loans from independent correspondent lenders and deliver those loans into the secondary market via whole loan sales to independent third parties or in securitization transactions to Ginnie Mae and GSEs such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. For additional information on our loans held for sale portfolio, see Note 5 - Certain Transfers of Financial Assets in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our cash needs. Our objectives in managing our liquidity are to maintain our ability to meet loan commitments, repurchase investment securities and repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings. Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies, formulated and monitored by our senior management and our Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which take into account the demonstrated marketability of our assets, the sources and stability of our funding and the level of unfunded commitments. We regularly evaluate all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on accessibility, stability, reliability and cost-effectiveness. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2021, our principal source of funding has been our customer deposits, supplemented by our short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily from federal funds purchased and FHLB borrowings, which are generally used to fund mortgage finance assets. We also rely on the availability of the mortgage secondary market provided by Ginnie Mae and the GSEs to support the liquidity of our mortgage finance assets.

In accordance with our liquidity strategy, deposit growth and increases in borrowing capacity related to our mortgage finance loans have resulted in accumulating liquidity assets in recent periods. Throughout 2020 we significantly increased our liquidity assets to ensure that we had the balance sheet strength to serve our clients during the COVID-19 pandemic, and through the first quarter of 2021 these balances have remained high. The following table summarizes the composition of liquidity assets:



(in thousands except percentage data)	March 31, 2021			December 31, 2020			March 31, 2020
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements	$	—		$	—		$	30,000

Total earning assets	28.8		%	24.6		%	27.3		%
Total deposits	33.6		%	29.1		%	35.0		%

Our liquidity needs to support growth in loans held for investment have been fulfilled primarily through growth in our core customer deposits. Our goal is to obtain as much of our funding for loans held for investment and other earning assets as possible from deposits of these core customers. These deposits are generated principally through development of long-term customer relationships, with a significant focus on treasury management products. In addition to deposits from our core customers, we also have access to deposits through brokered customer relationships. For regulatory purposes, these relationship brokered deposits are categorized as brokered deposits; however, since these deposits arise from a customer relationship, which involves extensive treasury services, we consider these deposits to be core deposits for our reporting purposes.

We also have access to incremental deposits through brokered retail certificates of deposit, or CDs. These traditional brokered deposits are generally of short maturities and are used to fund temporary differences in the growth in loan balances, including growth in loans held for sale or other specific categories of loans as compared to customer deposits. The following table summarizes our period-end and average core customer deposits, relationship brokered deposits and traditional brokered deposits:

We have access to sources of traditional brokered deposits that we estimate to be $7.5 billion. Based on our internal guidelines, we have chosen to limit our use of these sources to a lesser amount.

We have short-term borrowing sources available to supplement deposits and meet our funding needs. Such borrowings are generally used to fund our mortgage finance loans, due to their liquidity, short duration and interest spreads available. These borrowing sources include federal funds purchased from our downstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are smaller than our Bank) and from our upstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are larger than our Bank), customer repurchase agreements and advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve. The following table summarizes our short-term and other borrowings:

(1) FHLB borrowings are collateralized by a blanket floating lien on certain real estate secured loans, mortgage finance assets and also certain pledged securities.

(2) Unsecured revolving, non-amortizing line of credit with maturity date of December 14, 2021. Proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes, including funding regulatory capital infusions into the Bank. The loan agreement contains customary financial covenants and restrictions. No borrowings were made against this line of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Our equity capital averaged $3.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $2.9 billion for the same period in 2020. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since we commenced operations and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.

Periodically, based on market conditions and other factors, and subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the terms of our existing indebtedness, we or the Bank may repay, repurchase, exchange or redeem outstanding indebtedness, or otherwise enter into transactions regarding our debt or capital structure. For example, we and the Bank periodically evaluate and may engage in liability management transactions, including repurchases or redemptions of outstanding subordinated notes, which may be funded by the issuance of, or exchanges of, newly issued unsecured borrowings, as we seek to actively manage our debt maturity profile and interest cost.

For additional information regarding our capital and stockholders' equity, see Note 7 - Regulatory Restrictions in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

SEC guidance requires disclosure of “critical accounting policies.” The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that are most important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results, and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The more significant of these policies are summarized in Note 1 - Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and in our 2020 Form 10-K. Not all significant accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. However, the policy noted below could be deemed to meet the SEC’s definition of a critical accounting policy.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Management considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses as the most critical to the financial statement presentation. The total allowance for credit losses includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses charged to current earnings. The amount maintained in the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of the credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the loans in our portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. For purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses, the loan portfolio is segregated by product types in order to recognize differing risk profiles among categories, and then further segregated by credit grades. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are not included in the collective evaluation. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adjustments to historical loss information are made to incorporate our reasonable and supportable forecast of future losses at the portfolio segment level, as well as any necessary qualitative adjustments using a Portfolio Level Qualitative Factor ("PLQF") and/or a Portfolio Segment Level Qualitative Factor ("SLQF"). The PLQF and SLQF are utilized to address factors that are not present in historical loss rates and are otherwise unaccounted for in the quantitative process. A reserve is recorded upon origination or purchase of a loan. See “Summary of Credit Loss Experience” above and Note 4 – Loans Held for Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further discussion of the risk factors considered by management in establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to measure the company’s financial position and operating results primarily in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. The primary effect of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating expenses. Management considers changes in interest rates to impact our financial condition and results of operations to a far greater degree than changes in prices due to inflation. Although interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. We manage our interest rate risk in several ways. Refer to “Interest Rate Risk Management” in Item 7A for further discussion. There can be no assurance that we will not be materially adversely affected by future changes in interest rates, as interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control.

Table of Contents

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. Additionally, the financial instruments subject to market risk can be classified either as held for trading purposes or held for other than trading.

We are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on our portfolio of assets held for purposes other than trading. Additionally, we have some market risk relative to commodity prices through our energy lending activities. Declines and volatility in commodity prices negatively impacted our energy clients' ability to perform on their loan obligations in recent years, and further uncertainty and volatility could have a negative impact on our customers and our loan portfolio in future periods. Foreign exchange rates, commodity prices (other than energy) and equity prices are not expected to pose significant market risk to us.

The responsibility for managing market risk rests with the ALCO, which operates under policy guidelines established by our board of directors. The acceptable negative variation in net interest revenue due to a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates is generally limited by these guidelines to plus or minus 10-12%. These guidelines establish maximum levels for short-term borrowings, short-term assets and public and brokered deposits and minimum levels for liquidity, among other things. Oversight of our compliance with these guidelines is the ongoing responsibility of the ALCO, with exceptions reported to the Executive Risk Committee, and to our board of directors if deemed necessary, on a quarterly basis. Additionally, the Credit Policy Committee ("CPC") specifically manages risk relative to commodity price market risks. The CPC establishes maximum portfolio concentration levels for energy loans as well as maximum advance rates for energy collateral.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Our interest rate sensitivity is illustrated in the following table. The table reflects rate-sensitive positions as of March 31, 2021, and is not necessarily indicative of positions on other dates. The balances of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities are presented in the periods in which they next reprice to market rates or mature and are aggregated to show the interest rate sensitivity gap. The mismatch between repricings or maturities within a time period is commonly referred to as the “gap” for that period. A positive gap (asset sensitive), where interest rate-sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, generally will result in the net interest margin increasing in a rising rate environment and decreasing in a falling rate environment. A negative gap (liability sensitive) will generally have the opposite results on the net interest margin. To reflect anticipated prepayments, certain asset and liability categories are shown in the table using estimated cash flows rather than contractual cash flows. The Company employs interest rate floors in certain variable rate loans to enhance the yield on those loans at times when market interest rates are extraordinarily low. The degree of asset sensitivity, spreads on loans and net interest margin may be reduced until rates increase by an amount sufficient to eliminate the effects of floors. The adverse effect of floors as market rates increase may also be offset by the positive gap, the extent to which rates on deposits and other funding sources lag increasing market rates for loans and changes in composition of funding.

While a gap interest table is useful in analyzing interest rate sensitivity, an interest rate sensitivity simulation provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates. Earnings are also affected by the effects of changing interest rates on the value of funding derived from demand deposits and stockholders’ equity. We perform a sensitivity analysis to identify interest rate risk exposure on net interest income. We quantify and measure interest rate risk exposure using a model to dynamically simulate the effect of changes in net interest income relative to changes in interest rates over the next twelve months based on three interest rate scenarios. These are a static rate scenario and two “shock test” scenarios.

These scenarios are based on interest rates as of the last day of a reporting period published by independent sources and incorporate relevant spreads of instruments that are actively traded in the open market. The Federal Reserve’s federal funds target affects short-term borrowing; the prime lending rate and LIBOR are the basis for most of our variable-rate loan pricing. The 10-year treasury rate is also monitored because of its effect on prepayment speeds for mortgage-backed securities and MSRs. These are our primary interest rate exposures. We are currently not using derivatives to manage our interest rate exposure, except for MSRs, although we may do so in the future if that appears advisable.

For modeling purposes, the “shock test” scenarios as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 assume immediate, sustained 100 and 200 basis point increases in interest rates. As short-term rates declined during 2020 and remain low through the first three months of 2021, we do not believe that analysis of an assumed decrease in interest rates would provide meaningful results. We will continue to evaluate these scenarios as interest rates change, until short-term rates rise above 3.0%, at which point we will resume evaluations of shock scenarios in which interest rates decrease.

Our interest rate risk exposure model incorporates assumptions regarding the level of interest rate on indeterminable maturity deposits (demand deposits, interest-bearing transaction accounts and savings accounts) for a given level of market rate change. In the current environment of decreasing short-term rates, deposit pricing can vary by product and customer. These assumptions have been developed through a combination of historical analysis and projection of future expected pricing behavior. Changes in prepayment behavior of mortgage-backed securities, residential and commercial mortgage loans in each rate environment are captured using industry estimates of prepayment speeds for various coupon segments of the portfolio. The impact of these changes is factored into the simulation model. This modeling indicated interest rate sensitivity as follows:


	Anticipated Impact Over the Next Twelve Months as Compared to Most Likely Scenario
	March 31, 2021				March 31, 2020
(in thousands)	100 bps Increase		200 bps Increase		100 bps Increase		200 bps Increase
Change in net interest income	$	38,809	$	93,622	$	77,720	$	161,553

The simulations used to manage market risk are based on numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of repricing characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions, customer behavior and management strategies, among other factors.

Our business relies upon a large volume of loans, derivative contracts and other financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR to establish their interest rate and/or value. In 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it would no longer compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The administrator of LIBOR has proposed to extend publication of the most commonly used U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023 and to cease publishing other LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021. The U.S. federal banking agencies issued guidance strongly encouraging banking organizations to cease using U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate in new contracts as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. It is not possible to know whether LIBOR will continue to be viewed as an acceptable market benchmark, what rate or rates may become accepted alternatives to LIBOR or what the effect of any such changes in views or alternatives may have on the financial markets for LIBOR-linked financial instruments. The full impact of alternatives to LIBOR on the valuations, pricing and operation of our financial instruments is not yet known; however, the primary instruments that may be impacted include loans, securities, borrowings and derivatives indexed to LIBOR that mature after December 31, 2021. We have established a working group, consisting of key stakeholders from throughout the company, to monitor developments relating to LIBOR uncertainty and changes and to guide the Bank's response. This team is currently working to ensure that our technology systems are prepared for the transition, our loan documents that reference LIBOR-based rates have been appropriately amended to reference other methods of interest rate determinations and internal and external stakeholders are apprised of the transition.
