NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business

Tompkins Financial Corporation (“Tompkins” or the “Company”) is headquartered in Ithaca, New York and is registered as a Financial Holding Company with the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company is a locally oriented, community-based financial services organization that offers a full array of products and services, including commercial and consumer banking, leasing, trust and investment management, financial planning and wealth management, and insurance services. At March 31, 2021, the Company had four wholly-owned banking subsidiaries: Tompkins Trust Company (the “Trust Company”), The Bank of Castile (DBA Tompkins Bank of Castile), Mahopac Bank (DBA Tompkins Mahopac Bank), and VIST Bank (DBA Tompkins VIST Bank). The Company’s banks have announced plans for a rebranding effort, pursuant to which the Company’s four wholly-owned banking subsidiaries will be combined into one bank, with The Bank of Castile, Mahopac Bank, and VIST Bank merging with and into Tompkins Trust Company. The combined bank will conduct business under the “Tompkins” brand name, with a legal name of “Tompkins Community Bank.” The Company expects to file applications with applicable regulators during the second quarter of 2021, with the re-branding and combination anticipated to take effect later in 2021, subject to regulatory approval. The Company also has a wholly-owned insurance agency subsidiary, Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc. (“Tompkins Insurance”). The Trust Company provides a full array of trust and investment services under the Tompkins Financial Advisors brand, including investment management, trust and estate, financial and tax planning as well as life, disability and long-term care insurance services. The Company’s principal offices are located at 118 E. Seneca Street, Ithaca, New York, 14850, and its telephone number is (888) 503-5753. The Company’s common stock is traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “TMP.”

As a registered financial holding company, the Company is regulated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (“BHC Act”), as amended and is subject to examination and comprehensive regulation by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”). The Company is also subject to the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is subject to disclosure and regulatory requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company is subject to the rules of the NYSE American for listed companies.

The Company’s banking subsidiaries are subject to examination and comprehensive regulation by various regulatory authorities, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYSDFS”), and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (“PDBS”). Each of these agencies issues regulations and requires the filing of reports describing the activities and financial condition of the entities under its jurisdiction. Likewise, such agencies conduct examinations on a recurring basis to evaluate the safety and soundness of the institutions, and to test compliance with various regulatory requirements, including: consumer protection, privacy, fair lending, the Community Reinvestment Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, sales of non-deposit investments, electronic data processing, and trust department activities.

The trust division of Tompkins Trust Company is subject to examination and comprehensive regulation by the FDIC and NYSDFS.

The Company’s insurance subsidiary is subject to examination and regulation by the NYSDFS and the Pennsylvania Insurance Department.

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for a full year presentation and certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the SEC. In the application of certain accounting policies, management is required to make assumptions regarding the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Different amounts could be reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions were used in the application of these accounting policies. The accounting policies that management considers critical in this respect are the determination of the allowance for credit losses and the review of its securities portfolio for other than temporary impairment.

In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the

audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flow include cash and noninterest bearing balances due from banks, interest-bearing balances due from banks, and money market funds. Management regularly evaluates the credit risk associated with the counterparties to these transactions and believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure, and determined that no further disclosures were required.

The consolidated financial information included herein combines the results of operations, the assets, liabilities, and shareholders’ equity of the Company and its subsidiaries. Amounts in the prior periods’ unaudited consolidated financial statements are reclassified when necessary to conform to the current periods’ presentation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company evaluates available-for-sale debt securities for expected credit losses (“ECL”) in unrealized loss positions at each measurement date to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors.

Factors that may be indicative of ECL include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis.

• Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or geographic area (changes in technology,

business practice).

• Payment structure of the debt security with respect to underlying issuer or obligor.

• Failure of the issuer to make scheduled payment of principal and/or interest.

• Changes to the rating of a security or issuer by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

• Changes in tax or regulatory guidelines that impact a security or underlying issuer.

For available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company evaluates the securities to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (technical impairment) is the result of changes in interest rates or reflects a fundamental change in the credit worthiness of the underlying issuer. Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on the Statements of Condition, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Both the ACL and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change.

The gross unrealized losses reported for residential mortgage-backed securities relate to investment securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities such as Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and

U.S. government agencies such as Government National Mortgage Association. The total gross unrealized losses, shown in the tables above, were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and levels of market liquidity, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit-related quality of the investment securities. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell other-than-temporarily impaired investment securities that are in an unrealized loss position until recovery of unrealized losses (which may be until maturity), and it is not more-likely-than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment securities, before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities by contractual maturity are shown in the following table. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-backed securities are shown separately since they are not due at a single maturity date.

The Company also holds non-marketable Federal Home Loan Bank New York (“FHLBNY”) stock, non-marketable Federal Home Loan Bank Pittsburgh (“FHLBPITT”) stock and non-marketable Atlantic Community Bankers Bank ("ACBB") stock, all of which are required to be held for regulatory purposes and for borrowing availability. The required investment in FHLB stock is tied to the Company’s borrowing levels with the FHLB. Holdings of FHLBNY stock, FHLBPITT stock, and ACBB stock totaled $11.0 million, $5.2 million and $95,000, respectively, at March 31, 2021. These securities are carried at par, which is also cost. The FHLBNY and FHLBPITT continue to pay dividends and repurchase stock. Quarterly, we evaluate our investment in the FHLB for impairment. We evaluate recent and long-term operating performance, liquidity, funding and capital positions, stock repurchase history, dividend history and impact of legislative and regulatory changes. Based on our most recent evaluation, as of March 31, 2021, we determined that no impairment write-downs were required.

The Company has adopted comprehensive lending policies, underwriting standards and loan review procedures. Management reviews these policies and procedures on a regular basis. The Company discussed its lending policies and underwriting guidelines for its various lending portfolios in Note 3 – “Loans and Leases” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in these policies and guidelines since the date of that report. The Company’s Board of Directors approves the lending policies at least annually. The Company recognizes that exceptions to policy guidelines may occasionally occur and has established procedures for approving exceptions to these policy guidelines. Management has also implemented reporting systems to monitor loan origination, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming loans and potential problem loans.

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments are due. Generally loans are placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days or more contractually past due and/or management deems the collectability of the principal and/or interest to be in question as well as when required by regulatory agencies. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Payments received on loans on nonaccrual are generally applied to reduce the principal balance of the loan. Loans are generally returned

to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, the borrower has established a payment history, and future payments are reasonably assured. When management determines that the collection of principal in full is not probable, management will charge-off a partial amount or full amount of the loan balance. Management considers specific facts and circumstances relative to each individual credit in making such a determination. For residential and consumer loans, management uses specific regulatory guidance and thresholds for determining charge-offs.

The below tables are an age analysis of past due loans, segregated by class of loans as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

5. Allowance for Credit Losses

Management reviews the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses (“allowance” or "ACL") on a regular basis. Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance to be a critical accounting policy, given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to cover credit losses in the portfolio and the material effect that assumptions could have on the Company’s results of operations. The Company has developed a methodology to measure the amount of estimated credit loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio to assure that an appropriate allowance is maintained. The Company’s methodology is based upon guidance provided in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("CECL"), and Financial Instruments - Credit Losses and ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASU 2016-3).

The Company uses a DCF method to estimate expected credit losses for all loan segments excluding the leasing segment. For each of these loan segments, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speed, curtailments, recovery lag, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds, curtailment rates, and time to recovery are based on internal historical data.

The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default and loss given default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the loss drivers. For all loans utilizing the DCF method, management utilizes forecasts of national unemployment and a one year percentage change in national gross domestic product as loss drivers in the model.

For all DCF models, management has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over eight quarters on a straight-line basis. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts, and scenario weightings, are also considered by management when developing the forecast metrics.

The combination of adjustments for credit expectations and timing expectations produces an expected cash flow stream at the instrument level. Instrument effective yield is calculated, net of the impacts of prepayment assumptions, and the instrument expected cash flows are then discounted at that effective yield to produce a net present value of expected cash flows ("NPV"). An ACL is established for the difference between the NPV and amortized cost basis.

Since the methodology is based upon historical experience and trends, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, as well as management’s judgment, factors may arise that result in different estimates. While management’s evaluation of the allowance as of March 31, 2021, considers the allowance to be appropriate, under different conditions or assumptions, the Company would need to increase or decrease the allowance. In addition, various federal and State regulatory agencies, as part of their examination process, review the Company's allowance and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgements and information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Loan Commitments and Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans, and commercial letters of credit. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to credit loss expense for off-balance sheet credit exposures included in other noninterest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of income.

The following table details activity in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The transition adjustment included a decrease in the allowance of $2.5 million. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

Loans are considered modified in a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") when, due to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company makes concessions to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. These modifications may include, among others, an extension for the term of the loan, and granting a period when interest-only payments can be made with the principal payments made over the remaining term of the loan or at maturity.

There were no new TDRs in the first quarter of 2021. The following table presents information on loans modified in a TDR during the period ended March 31, 2020. Post-modification amounts are presented as of March 31, 2020.

The Company implemented and continues to utilize a loan payment deferral program to assist both consumer and business borrowers that may be experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19. The Company's program allows for deferral of payments of principal and interest. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and interagency guidance issued by Federal banking regulators provided guidance and clarification related to modifications and deferral programs to assist borrowers who are negatively impacted by the COVID-19 national emergency. The guidance and clarifications detail certain provisions whereby banks are permitted to make deferrals and modifications to the terms of a loan which would not require the loan to be reported as a TDR. In accordance with the CARES Act and the interagency guidance, the Company elected to adopt the provisions to not report eligible loan modifications as TDRs.

The relief related to TDRs under the CARES Act was extended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 ("CAA Act"). Under the CAA Act, the relief under the CARES Act will continue until the earlier of (i) 60 days after the date the COVID-19 national emergency comes to an end or (ii) January 1, 2022.

6. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share in the table below, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are calculated under the two-class method as required by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260). ASC 260 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company has issued restricted stock awards that contain such rights and are therefore considered participating securities. Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income allocable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares, excluding participating securities, during the period. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of participating securities.


	Three Months Ended
(In thousands, except share and per share data)	3/31/2021		3/31/2020
Basic
Net income available to common shareholders	$	25,626	$	7,949

Basic EPS	$	1.73	$	0.53
Diluted EPS	$	1.72	$	0.53

Stock-based compensation awards representing 15,983 and 17,956 of common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were not included in the computations of diluted earnings per common share because the effect on those periods would have been anti-dilutive.

10. Revenue Recognition

As stated in Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASC 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606, on January 1, 2018. ASC 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of ASC 606. ASC 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant income, and annuity and insurance commissions. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of ASC 606.

Insurance Commissions and Fees

Insurance commissions and fees from insurance product sales are typically earned upon the effective date of bound coverage, as no significant performance obligation remains after coverage is bound. Commission revenue on policies billed in installments is now accrued based upon the completion of the performance obligation creating a current asset for the unbilled revenue until such time as an invoice is generated, typically not to exceed twelve months. The impact of these changes was not significant, but it will result in slight variances from quarter to quarter. Contingent commissions are estimated based upon management’s expectations for the year with an appropriate constraint applied and accrued relative to the recognition of the corresponding core commissions.

Trust & Asset Management

Trust and asset management income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Optional services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.

Mutual Fund & Investment Income

Mutual fund and investment income consists of other recurring revenue streams such as commissions from sales of mutual funds and other investments, investment advisory fees from the Company’s Strategic Asset Management Services (SAM) wealth management product. Commissions from the sale of mutual funds and other investments are recognized on trade date, which is when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. The Company also receives periodic service fees (i.e., trailers) from mutual fund companies typically based on a percentage of net asset value, recorded over time, usually monthly or quarterly, as net asset value is determined. Investment advisor fees from the wealth management product is earned over time and based on an annual percentage rate of the net asset value. The investment advisor fees are charged to the customer’s account in advance on the first month of the quarter, and the revenue is recognized over the following three-month period. The Company does engage a third party, LPL Financial, LLC (LPL), to satisfy part of this performance obligation, and therefore this income is reported net of any corresponding expenses paid to LPL.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Card Services Income

Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as MasterCard. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. The Company’s performance obligation for fees and exchange are largely satisfied,

and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

Other

Other service charges include revenue from processing wire and ACH transfers, lock box service and safe deposit box rental. Payment on these revenue streams is received primarily through a direct charge to the customer’s account, immediately or in the following month, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time.

The following table presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, which would result in contract receivables or assets, respectively. A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment or for which payment is due from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams, excluding some insurance commissions and fees, are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Receivables primarily consist of amounts due for insurance and wealth management services performed for which the Company's performance obligations have been fully satisfied. Receivables for the insurance and wealth management services amounted to $4.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, at March 31, 2021, compared to $5.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company had contract assets related to contingent income of $489,000 and $2.5 million, respectively, at March 31, 2021 and 2020, and contract liabilities of $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively at March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Contract Acquisition Costs

In connection with the adoption of ASC 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize into expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company did not capitalize any contract acquisition costs.

11. Financial Guarantees

The Company currently does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than standby letters of credit. The Company extends standby letters of credit to its customers in the normal course of business. The standby letters of credit are generally short-term. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s maximum potential obligation under standby letters of credit was $32.9 million compared to $32.0 million at December 31, 2020. Management uses the same credit policies to extend standby letters of credit that it uses for on-balance sheet lending decisions and may require collateral to support standby letters of credit based upon its evaluation of the counterparty. Management does not anticipate any significant losses as a result of these transactions, and has determined that the fair value of standby letters of credit is not significant.

12. Segment and Related Information

The Company manages its operations through three reportable business segments in accordance with the standards set forth in FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”: (i) banking (“Banking”), (ii) insurance (“Tompkins Insurance”) and (iii) wealth management (“Tompkins Financial Advisors”). The Company’s insurance services and wealth management services, other than trust services, are managed separately from the Banking segment.

Banking

The Banking segment is primarily comprised of the Company’s four banking subsidiaries: Tompkins Trust Company, a commercial bank with fourteen banking offices located in Ithaca, NY and surrounding communities; The Bank of Castile (DBA Tompkins Bank of Castile), a commercial bank with sixteen banking offices located in the Genesee Valley region of New York State as well as Monroe County; Mahopac Bank (DBA Tompkins Mahopac Bank), a commercial bank with fourteen full-service banking offices located in the counties north of New York City; and VIST Bank (DBA Tompkins VIST Bank), a banking organization with twenty banking offices headquartered and operating in the areas surrounding southeastern Pennsylvania.

Insurance

The Company provides property and casualty insurance services and employee benefits consulting through Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc., a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, headquartered in Batavia, New York. Tompkins Insurance is an independent insurance agency, representing many major insurance carriers and provides employee benefit consulting to employers in Western and Central New York and Southeastern Pennsylvania, assisting them with their medical, group life insurance and group disability insurance. Tompkins Insurance has five stand-alone offices in Western New York.

Wealth Management

The Wealth Management segment is generally organized under the Tompkins Financial Advisors brand. Tompkins Financial Advisors offers a comprehensive suite of financial services to customers, including trust and estate services, investment management and financial and insurance planning for individuals, corporate executives, small business owners and high net worth individuals. Tompkins Financial Advisors has offices in each of the Company’s four subsidiary banks.

Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments and the reconciliation to the Company’s consolidated results is shown in the following table. Investment in subsidiaries is netted out of the presentations below. The “Intercompany” column identifies the intercompany activities of revenues, expenses and other assets between the banking, insurance and wealth management services segments. The Company accounts for intercompany fees and services at an estimated fair value according to regulatory requirements for the services provided. Intercompany items relate primarily to the use of human resources, information systems, accounting and marketing services provided by any of the banks and the holding company. All other accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

13. Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Transfers between levels, when determined to be appropriate, are recognized at the end of each reporting period.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820 are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following tables summarize financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy used to measure fair value.

Securities: Fair values for U.S. Treasury securities are based on quoted market prices. Fair values for obligations of U.S. government sponsored entities, mortgage-backed securities-residential, obligations of U.S. states and political subdivisions, and U.S. corporate debt securities are based on quoted market prices, where available, as provided by third party pricing vendors. If quoted market prices were not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments in active markets and/or based upon a matrix pricing methodology, which uses comprehensive interest rate tables to determine market price, movement and yield relationships. These securities are reviewed periodically to determine if there are any events or changes in circumstances that would adversely affect their value.

The change in the fair value of equity securities valued using significant unobservable inputs (level 3), between December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, was immaterial.

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The Company determines fair value for its available-for-sale debt securities using an independent bond pricing service for identical assets or very similar securities. The Company determines fair value for its equity securities based on the underlying equity fund’s pricing and valuation procedures which consider recent sales price, market quotations from a pricing service, or market quotes from an independent broker-dealer. The Company has reviewed the pricing sources, including methodologies used, and finds them to be fairly stated.

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. For the Company, these include loans held for sale, collateral dependent loans, and other real estate owned (“OREO”). During the first quarter of 2021, certain collateral dependent evaluated loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance and/or partial charge-offs for credit losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based upon observable market data. In addition to collateral dependent evaluated loans, certain other real estate owned were remeasured and reported at fair value based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair values of other real estate owned are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. In general, the fair values of other real estate owned are based upon appraisals, with discounts made to reflect estimated costs to sell the real estate. Upon initial recognition, fair value write-downs are taken through a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent fair value write-downs on other real estate owned are reported in other noninterest expense.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The carrying amounts shown in the table are included in the Consolidated Statements of Condition under the indicated captions.

The fair value estimates, methods and assumptions set forth below for the Company's financial instruments, including those financial instruments carried at cost, are made solely to comply with disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included herein.

For loans where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the loan to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For real estate loans, fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by third party appraisals, which are then adjusted for the estimated selling and closing costs related to liquidation of the collateral. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. For example, land is generally based on the sales comparable method while construction is based on the income and/or sales comparable methods. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of the three methods being the predominant approach. The Company reviews the third party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 5% to 8% of the appraised value. For non-real estate loans, fair value of the loan’s collateral may be determined using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business.

1 Lease receivables, although excluded from the scope of ASC Topic 825, are included in the estimated fair value amounts at their carrying value.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Condition for cash, noninterest-bearing deposits, money market funds, and Federal funds sold approximate the fair value of those assets.

FHLB Stock: The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value. If the stock is redeemed, the Company will receive an amount equal to the par value of the stock. For miscellaneous equity securities, carrying value is cost.

Loans and Leases: Fair value for loans are calculated using an exit price notion. The Company's valuation methodology takes into account factors such as estimated cash flows, including contractual cash flow and assumptions for prepayments; liquidity risk; and credit risk. The fair values of residential loans were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based upon available market benchmarks for rates and prepayment assumptions. The fair values of commercial and consumer loans were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based upon interest rates currently offered for loans and leases with similar terms and credit quality. The fair values of loans held for sale were determined based upon contractual prices for loans with similar characteristics.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable: The carrying amount of these short term instruments approximate fair value.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for noninterest bearing accounts and accounts with no stated maturities are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is based upon discounted cash flow analyses using rates offered for FHLB advances, which is the Company’s primary alternative source of funds.

Trust Preferred Debentures: The fair value of the trust preferred debentures has been estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis which uses a discount factor of a market spread over current interest rates for similar instruments.

The Tompkins strategy centers around our core values and a commitment to delivering long-term value to our clients, communities, and shareholders. A key strategic initiative for the Company is a focus on responsible and sustainable growth, including initiatives to grow organically through our current businesses, as well as through possible acquisitions of financial institutions, branches, and financial services businesses. As such, the Company has acquired, and from time to time considers acquiring, banks, thrift institutions, branch offices of banks or thrift institutions, or other businesses that would complement the Company’s business or its geographic reach. The Company generally targets merger or acquisition partners that are culturally similar and have experienced management and possess either significant market presence or have potential for improved profitability through financial management, economies of scale and expanded services.

Business Segments

Banking services consist primarily of attracting deposits from the areas served by the Company’s four banking subsidiaries’ 64 banking offices (44 offices in New York and 20 offices in Pennsylvania) and using those deposits to originate a variety of commercial loans, agricultural loans, consumer loans, real estate loans, and leases. The Company’s lending function is managed within the guidelines of a comprehensive Board-approved lending policy. Reporting systems are in place to provide management with ongoing information related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Banking services also include a full suite of products such as debit cards, credit cards, remote deposit, electronic banking, mobile banking, cash management, and safe deposit services.

Wealth management services consist of investment management, trust and estate, financial and tax planning as well as life, disability and long-term care insurance services. Wealth management services are provided under the trade name Tompkins Financial Advisors. Tompkins Financial Advisors has office locations, and services are available to all customers, at the Company's four subsidiary banks.

Insurance services include property and casualty insurance, employee benefit consulting, and life, long-term care and disability insurance. Tompkins Insurance is headquartered in Batavia, New York. Over the years, Tompkins Insurance has acquired smaller insurance agencies in the market areas serviced by the Company’s banking subsidiaries and successfully consolidated them into Tompkins Insurance. Tompkins Insurance offers services to customers of the Company’s banking subsidiaries by sharing offices with The Bank of Castile, Trust Company, and VIST Bank. In addition to these shared offices, Tompkins Insurance has five stand-alone offices in Western New York, and one stand-alone office in Tompkins County, New York.

The Company’s principal expenses are interest on deposits, interest on borrowings, and operating and general administrative expenses, as well as provisions for credit losses. Funding sources, other than deposits, include borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and cash flow from lending and investing activities.

Competition

Competition for commercial banking and other financial services is strong in the Company’s market areas. In one or more aspects of its business, the Company’s subsidiaries compete with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, Internet-based financial services companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking companies, and other financial intermediaries. Some of these competitors have substantially greater resources and lending capabilities and may offer services that the Company does not currently provide. In addition, many of the Company’s non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive Federal regulations that govern financial holding companies and Federally-insured banks.

Competition among financial institutions is based upon interest rates offered on deposit accounts, interest rates charged on loans and other credit and service charges, the quality and scope of the services rendered, the convenience of facilities and services, and, in the case of loans to commercial borrowers, relative lending limits. Management believes that a community-based financial organization is better positioned to establish personalized financial relationships with both commercial customers and individual households. The Company’s community commitment and involvement in its primary market areas, as well as its commitment to quality and personalized financial services, are factors that contribute to the Company’s competitiveness. Management believes that each of the Company’s subsidiary banks can compete successfully in its primary market areas by making prudent lending decisions quickly and more efficiently than its competitors, without compromising asset quality or profitability. In addition, the Company focuses on providing unparalleled customer service, which includes offering a strong suite of products and services, including products that are accessible to our customers through digital means. Although management feels that this business model has caused the Company to grow its customer base in recent years and allows it to compete effectively in the markets it serves, we cannot assure you that such factors will result in future success.

Regulation

Banking, insurance services and wealth management are highly regulated. As a financial holding company with four community banks, a registered investment adviser, and an insurance agency subsidiary, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the New York State Department of Financial Services, Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the Pennsylvania Insurance Department.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The following discussion is intended to provide an understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2021. It should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In this Report, there are comparisons of the Company’s performance to that of a peer group, which is comprised of the group of 148 domestic bank holding companies with $3 billion to $10 billion in total assets as defined in the Federal Reserve’s “Bank Holding Company Performance Report” for December 31, 2020 (the most recent report available). Although the peer group data is presented based upon financial information that is one fiscal quarter behind the financial information included in this report, the Company believes that it is relevant to include certain peer group information for comparison to current quarter numbers.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The statements contained in this Report that are not statements of historical fact may include forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may be identified by use of such words as "may", "will", "estimate", "intend", "continue", "believe", "expect", "plan", or "anticipate", and other similar words. Examples of forward-looking statements may include statements regarding the asset quality of the Company's loan portfolios; the level of the Company's allowance for credit losses; whether, when and how borrowers will repay deferred amounts and resume scheduled payments; the sufficiency of liquidity sources; the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates, and to new, changed, or extended government/regulatory expectations; the impact of changes in accounting standards; and trends, plans, prospects, growth and strategies. Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and are subject to certain uncertainties and factors relating to the Company’s operations and economic environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company, that could cause actual results of the Company to differ materially from those expressed and/or implied by forward-looking statements. The following factors, in addition to those listed as Risk Factors in Item 1A of our Annual

Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, are among those that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: changes in general economic, market and regulatory conditions; the severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impact of the outbreak (including the government’s response to the outbreak) on economic and financial markets, potential regulatory actions, and modifications to our operations, products, and services relating thereto; disruptions in our and our customers’ operations and loss of revenue due to pandemics, epidemics, widespread health emergencies, government-imposed travel/business restrictions, or outbreaks of infectious diseases such as the COVID-19, and the associated adverse impact on our financial position, liquidity, and our customers’ abilities or willingness to repay their obligations to us or willingness to obtain financial services products from the Company; a decision to amend or modify the terms under which our customers are obligated to repay amounts owed to us; the development of an interest rate environment that may adversely affect the Company’s interest rate spread, other income or cash flow anticipated from the Company’s operations, investment and/or lending activities; changes in laws and regulations affecting banks, bank holding companies and/or financial holding companies, such as the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III and the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act; legislative and regulatory changes in response to COVID-19 with which we and our subsidiaries must comply, including the CARES Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and federal, state and local government mandates; technological developments and changes; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; governmental and public policy changes, including environmental regulation; reliance on large customers; uncertainties arising from national and global events, including the potential impact of widespread protests, civil unrest, and political uncertainty on the economy and the financial services industry; and financial resources in the amounts, at the times and on the terms required to support the Company’s future businesses.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform, in all material respects, to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and to general practices within the financial services industry. In the course of normal business activity, management must select and apply many accounting policies and methodologies and make estimates and assumptions that lead to the financial results presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. There are uncertainties inherent in making these estimates and assumptions, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Management considers accounting estimates to be critical to reported financial results if (i) the accounting estimates require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain, and (ii) different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Management considers the accounting policies relating to the allowance for credit losses (“allowance”, or “ACL”), and the review of the securities portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment to be critical accounting policies because of the uncertainty and subjectivity involved in these policies and the material effect that estimates related to these areas can have on the Company’s results of operations.

For information on the Company's significant accounting policies and to gain a greater understanding of how the Company’s financial performance is reported, refer to Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Refer to "Recently Issued Accounting Standards" in Management's Discussion and Analysis in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting updates.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Recent Events

The COVID-19 global pandemic continued to present health and economic challenges on an unprecedented scale during the first quarter of 2021. During the first quarter, the Company continued to focus on the health and well-being of its workforce, meeting its clients' needs, and supporting its communities. The Company has designated a Pandemic Planning Committee, which includes key individuals across the Company as well as members of Senior Management, to oversee the Company’s response to COVID-19, and has implemented a number of risk mitigation measures designed to protect our employees and customers while maintaining services for our customers and community. These measures included restrictions on business travel, establishment of a remote work environment for most non-customer facing employees, and social distancing restrictions for those employees working at our offices and branch locations. In July 2020, we began initiating the reopening of our offices and reinstatement of branch services, and the return of our workforce, but as of March 31, 2021, approximately 85% of our noncustomer facing employees continued to work remotely. With a view toward protecting the health and well-being of the Company's workforce, customers, and visitors as we reopen, we implemented several new social distancing protocols and other protective measures, such as temperature screenings, distribution of personal protective equipment, and workforce self-certifications.

Tompkins continues to offer assistance to its customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic by implementing a payment deferral program to assist both consumer and business borrowers that may be experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19. Our standard program allowed for the deferral of loan payments for up to 90 days; in certain cases we extended additional deferrals or other accommodations. As part of this program, the Company deferred approximately 3,843 loans totaling $1.6 billion. As of March 31, 2021, 3,654 loans totaling approximately $1.5 billion had moved out of the deferral status, and of those loans 0.3% were more than 30 days past due. As of March 31, 2021, total loans that continued in a deferral status amounted to approximately $195.6 million, representing 3.7% of total loans. We expect that loans in the deferral program will continue to accrue interest during the deferral period unless otherwise classified as nonperforming. The provisions of the CARES Act and the interagency guidance issued by Federal banking regulators provided clarification related to modifications and deferral programs to assist borrowers who are negatively impacted by the COVID-19 national emergency. The guidance and clarifications detail certain provisions whereby banks are permitted to make deferrals and modifications to the terms of a loan which would not require the loan to be reported as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). In accordance with the CARES Act and the interagency guidance, the Company elected to adopt the provisions to not report qualified loan modifications as TDRs. The relief related to TDRs under the CARES Act was extended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, relief under the CARES Act will continue until the earlier of (i) 60 days after the date the COVID-19 national emergency comes to an end or (ii) January 1, 2022.

Management continues to monitor credit conditions carefully at the individual borrower level, as well as by industry segment, in order to be responsive to changing credit conditions. It is difficult to assess whether a customer that continues to experience COVID-19 related financial hardship will be able to perform under the original terms of the loan once the deferral period ends. Any such inability to perform may result in increases in past due and nonperforming loans. The table below list certain larger industry concentrations within our loan portfolio and the percentage of each segment that are currently in a deferral status.

*Concentration is defined as outstanding loan balances as a percentage of total commercial and commercial real estate loans.

The Company is also participating in the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). This program provides borrower guarantees for lenders, and envisions a certain amount of loan forgiveness for loan recipients who properly utilize funds, all in accordance with the rules and regulations established by the SBA for the PPP. The Company began accepting applications for PPP loans on April 3, 2020, and had funded 2,998 loans totaling about $465.6 million when the initial program ended. As of April 10, 2021, approximately 2,314 of these PPP loans totaling $300.8 million had been forgiven by the SBA under the terms of the PPP program.

In addition, on January 19, 2021, the Company began accepting both first draw and second draw applications for the reopening of the PPP program. As of April 10, 2021, the Company had submitted 2,013 applications totaling $223.4 million to the SBA, of which 1,919 applications totaling $215.9 million had been approved by the SBA and disbursed to customers.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company's nonperforming assets represented 0.59% of total assets, down from 0.60% at December 31, 2020. Despite relatively stable trends in nonperforming assets and other delinquency, some customers have experienced continued cash flow stress related to the pandemic, resulting in an increase in loans rated Special Mention, which totaled $185.2 million at March 31, 2021, up from $90.0 million at March 31, 2020, but down from $189.9 million at December 31, 2020. The downgrades to Special Mention were mainly in the retail, hospitality, and agriculture industries. At March 31, 2021, nonaccrual loans and loans rated Substandard included 12 loans totaling $35.5 million that are currently in deferral status, as described above.

Net interest income of $55.0 million for the first quarter of 2021 was up $2.1 million or 3.9% from the same period in 2020. The increase in net interest income was mainly a result of a decrease in interest expense driven by lower market interest rates.

There were no net deferred loan fees related to PPP loans in the first quarter of 2020.

Noninterest income of $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was down $674,000 or 9.6% compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the same period in 2020 was mainly in service charges on deposit accounts and reflects a decrease in overdraft fees in the first quarter of 2021.

Noninterest expense of $36.0 million for the first quarter of 2021 was down $680,000 or 1.9% from the same period in 2020. The decrease was mainly a result of lower marketing expense in the first quarter of 2021 compared to same period in 2020.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2021 also included gains on life insurance proceeds of $140,000.

Noninterest expenses were down $127,000 or 1.9% compared to the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was mainly in salaries, wages and employee benefits and reflects lower commission expense and healthcare expense. Travel and entertainment expenses were also down in the first quarter of 2021 compared to prior year, mainly due to travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wealth Management Segment

The wealth management segment reported net income of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was up $134,000 or 13.3% compared to the first quarter of 2020. The increase in net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, was attributable to an increase in advisory fee income as well as market improvement from the first quarter of 2020. Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 was up $232,000 or 7.6% compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily within salaries and employee benefits, mainly driven by merit increases and other incentives.

3 Nonaccrual loans are included in the average asset totals presented above. Payments received on nonaccrual loans have been recognized as disclosed in Note 1 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the Company’s largest source of revenue, representing 73.4% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 73.6% for the same period in 2020. Net interest income is dependent on the volume and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the level of market interest rates. The above table shows average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the corresponding yield or cost associated with each.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was up $2.0 million or 3.8% over the same period in 2020. The increase was mainly due to lower interest expense in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, driven by lower market interest rates and by deposit growth, which contributed to a reduction in higher cost borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, average total deposits represented 93.6% of average total liabilities compared to 88.5% for the same period in 2020, while total average borrowings represented 4.8% of average total liabilities in 2021 and 9.7% in 2020.

Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 3.01% compared to 3.44% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in net interest margin for 2021 compared to 2020 was mainly a result of the decrease in the yield on average interest earning assets exceeding the decrease in average cost of interest bearing liabilities. The decrease in yield on average interest earning assets was mainly due to lower market rates and a shift in the composition of average earning assets, with a greater mix of lower yielding average securities and interest bearing balances.

Taxable-equivalent interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $60.2 million, down 5.4% compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in taxable-equivalent interest income was mainly due to lower asset yields for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, reflecting lower market interest rates. Average yields for loans and securities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were 4.17% and 1.25%, respectively, down 41 basis points and 101 basis points from the same period in 2020. The lower asset yields were partially offset by the growth in average earning assets, including loans, securities and interest bearing balances due from banks. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, average balances for loans, securities and interest bearing balances due from banks, were up $377.3 million, or 7.7%, $463.9 million or 35.8%, and $407.1 million over the first quarter of 2020, respectively. The increase in average loans was mainly in commercial loans, driven largely by PPP loans and commercial real estate loans, while the increase in securities from year-end 2020 was largely due to the investment of excess liquidity resulting from strong deposit growth during the quarter.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021, decreased by $5.5 million or 53.9% compared to the same period in 2020, driven mainly by lower market interest rates, and a decrease in average other borrowings, which were down as a result of the increase in average deposit balances. Average interest bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2021 were up $805.8 million or 20.7% compared to the same period in 2020. Average other borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were down $233.4 million or 46.8% compared to the same period in 2020. The average cost of interest bearing deposits was 0.27% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 0.74% for the first quarter of 2020. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased to 0.38% for the first quarter of 2021 from 0.92% for the first quarter of 2020.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses represents management’s estimate of the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses at an appropriate level. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was a credit of $2.5 million compared to an expense of $16.3 million for the same period in 2020. The provision for the first quarter of 2020 reflected the highly uncertain economic conditions related to COVID-19 and economic forecasts and other model assumptions relied upon by management in determining the allowance as well as the calculation of the allowance for credit losses in accordance with ASU 2016-13. The favorable variance in the first quarter of 2021 is largely driven by improvements in economic forecasts compared to the first quarter of 2020. The section captioned “Financial Condition – The Allowance for Credit Losses” below has further details on the allowance for credit losses and asset quality metrics.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $20.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, which was up 5.4% compared to the same period prior year. Noninterest income represented 26.6% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 26.4% for the same period in 2020.

Insurance commissions and fees were $9.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, up 13.9% compared to the same period prior year. The increase in insurance commissions and fees in the first quarter of 2021 over the same period in 2020, was mainly in contingency income and property and casualty commissions, which were up $647,000 or 78.7% and $284,000 or 8.2%, respectively.

Investment services income of $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2021 was up $471,000 or 11.2% compared to the first quarter of 2020 mainly due to an increase in advisory fee income resulting from growth in assets under management as well as market improvement from the first quarter of 2020. Investment services income includes trust services, financial planning, wealth management services, and brokerage related services. The fair value of assets managed by, or in custody of, Tompkins was $4.8 billion at March 31, 2021, compared to $3.9 billion at March 31, 2020. The fair value of assets in custody at March 31, 2021 includes $1.4 billion of Company-owned securities where Tompkins Trust Company is custodian.

Card services income of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2021 was up $200,000 or 9.2% compared to the same period in 2020. Debit card income was up $240,000 or 16.1% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, driven by higher transaction volume in 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

The Company recognized $317,000 in gains on sales/calls of available-for-sale debt securities in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $443,000 of gains in the first three months of 2020. The sales of available-for-sale debt securities were generally the result of routine portfolio maintenance and interest rate risk management.

Other income of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2021 was down $130,000 or 6.2% compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in the first quarter of 2021 was mainly attributable to the recapture of fees from loans that had been previously charged off and were recognized in the first quarter of 2020.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $45.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, down 1.2% compared to the same period in 2020. Noninterest expense as a percentage of total revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was 60.2% compared to 63.6% for the same period in 2020.

Expenses associated with salaries and wages and employee benefits are the largest component of noninterest expense, representing 62.3% of total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 61.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Salaries and wages and employee expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was flat compared to the same period in 2020 as increases resulting from normal merit adjustments and incentive compensation were mainly offset by lower health care costs, and an increase in salary costs deferred as loan origination costs primarily related to the high volume of PPP loan originations during the first quarter of 2021. Salary cost deferred in connection with loan originations will be recognized as a yield adjustment component of interest income over the remaining terms of these loans.

Other expense categories not related to compensation and benefits, such as technology expense and professional fees, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, were in line with the same period in 2020. Marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31 2021, were down $447,000 from the same period in 2020, mainly a result of fewer events held due to the pandemic. FDIC expense for the first quarter of 2021 was up $252,000 or 51.2% over the same period in 2020, driven largely by the growth in total assets. Business related travel and entertainment expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were down $249,000 or 78.2% from the same period in 2020. Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, included $680,000 and $465,000, respectively, to increase the allowance for off-balance sheet exposures.

Income Tax Expense

The provision for income taxes was $6.7 million for an effective rate of 20.7% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to tax expense of $1.9 million and an effective rate of 19.3% for the same quarter in 2020. The effective rates differ from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the effect of tax-exempt income from loans, securities and life insurance assets, and the income tax effects associated with stock based compensation.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $8.1 billion at March 31, 2021, up $473.2 million or 6.2% from December 31, 2020. The increase in total assets was mainly in securities and cash and cash equivalents balances. Total securities were up $307.6 million or 18.9% compared to December 31, 2020, while total cash and cash equivalents were up $130.0 million or 33.5% over December 31, 2020. The increase in securities and cash and cash equivalents from year-end 2020 was largely due to the investment of excess liquidity into securities and interest bearing balances. Total loan balances were $5.3 billion at March 31, 2021 in line with year-end 2020. Total deposits were up $508.8 million or 7.9% from December 31, 2020.

Securities

As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s securities portfolio was $1.9 billion or 23.9% of total assets, compared to $1.6 billion or 21.4% of total assets at year-end 2020. The increase in securities from year-end 2020, was largely due to the investment of excess liquidity resulting from strong deposit growth during the quarter. The following table details the composition of available-for-sale debt securities.

U.S. corporate debt securities	2,500		2,416		2,500		2,379
Total available-for-sale debt securities	$	1,941,284	$	1,934,815	$	1,599,894	$	1,627,193

The increase in unrealized losses, which reflects the amount that amortized cost exceeds fair value, related to the available-for-sale debt portfolio was due primarily to changes in market interest rates during the first three months of 2021. Management’s policy is to purchase investment grade securities that on average have relatively short duration, which helps mitigate interest rate risk and provides sources of liquidity without significant risk to capital.

The Company evaluates available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions at each measurement date to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an ACL on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings via credit loss expense.

The Company determined that at March 31, 2021, all impaired available-for-sale debt securities experienced a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis due to noncredit-related factors. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell other-than-temporarily impaired investment securities that are in an unrealized loss position until recovery of unrealized losses (which may be until maturity), and it is not more-likely-than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment securities, before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. Therefore, the Company carried no ACL at March 31, 2021 and there was no credit loss expense recognized by the Company with respect to the securities portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Total loans and leases of $5.3 billion at March 31, 2021 were up $32.5 million or 0.6% from December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, total loans and leases represented 65.4% of total assets compared to 69.0% of total assets at December 31, 2020.

Residential real estate loans, including home equity loans were $1.4 billion at March 31, 2021, down $9.5 million or 0.7% compared to December 31, 2020, and comprised 27.0% of total loans and leases at March 31, 2021. Changes in residential loan balances are impacted by the Company’s decision to retain these loans or sell them in the secondary market due to interest rate considerations. The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee meets regularly and establishes standards for selling and retaining residential real estate mortgage originations.

The Company may sell residential real estate loans in the secondary market based on interest rate considerations. These residential real estate loans are generally sold to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) or State of New York Mortgage Agency (“SONYMA”) without recourse in accordance with standard secondary market loan sale agreements. These residential real estate loans also are subject to customary representations and warranties made by the Company, including representations and warranties related to gross incompetence and fraud. The Company has not had to repurchase any loans as a result of these representations and warranties.

During the first three months of 2021 and 2020, the Company sold residential loans totaling $10.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively, recognizing gains on these sales of $429,000 and $176,000, respectively. These residential real estate loans were sold without recourse in accordance with standard secondary market loan sale agreements. When residential mortgage loans are sold, the Company typically retains all servicing rights, which provides the Company with a source of fee income. Mortgage servicing rights totaled $1.0 million at March 31, 2021 and $805,000 at December 31, 2020.

Commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans totaled $2.6 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, and represented 48.7% and 22.9%, respectively of total loans as of March 31, 2021. The commercial real estate portfolio was in line with year-end 2020, while commercial and industrial loans were up 3.0%. The increase in commercial and industrial loans over year-end 2020 was mainly in PPP loans, which were up $78.8 million or 27.0% to $370.0 million. The Company originated $200.8 million of PPP loans in the first quarter of 2021; these originations were partially offset by $122.0 million of PPP loans originated in 2020 being forgiven by the SBA during the first quarter of 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, agriculturally-related loans totaled $280.9 million or 5.3% of total loans and leases, compared to $296.4 million or 5.6% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2020. Agriculturally-related loans include loans to dairy farms and crop farms. Agricultural-related loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower with consideration given to underlying collateral, personal guarantees, and government related guarantees. Agriculturally-related loans are generally secured by the assets or property being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable, livestock, equipment or commodities/crops.

The Company has adopted comprehensive lending policies, underwriting standards and loan review procedures. Management reviews these policies and procedures on a regular basis. The Company discussed its lending policies and underwriting guidelines for its various lending portfolios in Note 4 – “Loans and Leases” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in these policies and guidelines since the date of that report. The Company’s Board of Directors approves the lending policies at least annually. The Company recognizes that exceptions to policy guidelines may occasionally occur and has established procedures for approving exceptions to these policy guidelines. Management has also implemented reporting systems to monitor loan originations, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming loans and potential problem loans.

The Company’s loan and lease customers are located primarily in the New York and Pennsylvania communities served by its four subsidiary banks. Although operating in numerous communities in New York State and Pennsylvania, the Company is still dependent on the general economic conditions of these states and the local economic conditions of the communities within those states in which the Company does business.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The below tables represents the allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The tables provide, as of the dates indicated, an allocation of the allowance for credit losses for inherent loan losses by type. The allocation is neither indicative of the specific amounts or the loan categories in which future charge-offs may occur, nor is it an indicator of future loss trends. The allocation of the allowance for credit losses to each category does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category.


(In thousands)	3/31/2021		12/31/2020
Allowance for credit losses
Commercial and industrial	$	7,750	$	9,239
Commercial real estate	30,467		30,546
Residential real estate	9,470		10,257
Consumer and other	1,583		1,562
Finance leases	69		65
Total	$	49,339	$	51,669

As of March 31, 2021, the total allowance for credit losses was $49.3 million, down $2.3 million or 4.5% compared to December 31, 2020. The ACL as a percentage of total loans measured 0.93% at March 31, 2021, compared to 0.98% at December 31, 2020.

The decrease in the ACL from year-end 2020 reflects lower estimated reserves driven by improvements in forecasts for unemployment and the gross domestic product used in our model, and lower than expected net credit losses of $412,000 reported for the trailing twelve-month period ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in the ACL is partially offset by increases in qualitative reserves for loans within the hospitality and certain other industries that may have an elevated level of risk due to the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we have seen improved occupancy rates in the hospitality industry in recent months, we continue to closely monitor this industry. Qualitative reserves related to loans that remain in the Company's payment deferral program implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have also slightly increased, although we are encouraged to see low delinquency rates of 0.13% for customers who returned to repayment status during 2020. The qualitative reserves were added to all portfolio segments with the majority in commercial real estate and then commercial and residential real estate. The Company had net recoveries of $180,000 in the first quarter of 2021, compared to net charge-offs of $1.2 million for the same period in 2020.

In addition to the decrease in the ACL, the decrease in the ratio of ACL to total loans also reflects the growth in PPP loans from year end 2020. Since PPP loans are guaranteed by the SBA, there are no reserves allocated to these loans. Excluding PPP loans from total loans results in an ACL to total loan ratio of 1.00% at March 31, 2021, down from 1.04% at December 31, 2020.

Asset quality measures at March 31, 2021 were generally in line with December 31, 2020. Loans internally-classified Special Mention or Substandard were up $4.7 million or 2.5% compared to December 31, 2020. Nonperforming loans and leases were up $1.9 million or 4.3% from year end 2020 and represented 0.90% of total loans at March 31, 2021 compared to 0.87% at December 31, 2020. The allowance for credit losses covered 103.38% of nonperforming loans and leases as of March 31, 2021, compared to 112.87% at December 31, 2020.

Activity in the Company’s allowance for credit losses during the first three months of 2021 and 2020 is illustrated in the table below.

Net loan and lease recoveries for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were $180,000 compared to net charge-offs of $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The first quarter of 2020 included a write-down on one credit in the commercial real estate portfolio for $1.2 million.

The provision for credit losses was a credit of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to a provision of $16.3 million for the same period in 2020. The provision expense for credit losses is based upon the Company's quarterly evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses. The larger than normal provision expense of $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was mainly a result of the economic forecasts and other model assumptions impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The provision credit of $2.5 million for the first three months of 2021 reflects lower estimated reserves driven by improvements in forecasts for unemployment and the gross domestic product used in our model, partially offset by increases in qualitative reserves for loans within the hospitality and certain other industries that may have an elevated level of risk due to the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as loans that remain in the Company's payment deferral program implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total nonperforming assets as percentage of total assets	0.59		%	0.60		%	0.46		%

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, TDR, and foreclosed real estate/other real estate owned. Total nonperforming assets of $47.8 million at March 31, 2021 were up $1.9 million or 4.2% compared to December 31, 2020, and up $16.7 million or 53.5% compared to March 31, 2020. The increase in nonperforming assets from March 31, 2020, was mainly in the commercial real estate and residential real estate portfolios, as result of unfavorable economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2021, included one credit totaling $11.8 million in the hospitality industry that was downgraded to Substandard and placed on nonaccrual status in the fourth quarter of 2020. The loan was also in the Company's deferral payment program at March 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets represented 0.59% of total assets at March 31, 2021, down from 0.60% at December 31, 2020, and up from 0.46% at March 31, 2020. The Company’s ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets is in line with our peer group’s most recent ratio of 0.60% at December 31, 2020.

Loans are considered modified in a TDR when, due to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company makes a concession(s) to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider and the borrower could not obtain elsewhere. These modifications may include, among others, an extension of the term of the loan, and granting a period when interest-only payments can be made, with the principal payments made over the remaining term of the loan or at maturity. TDRs are included in the above table within the following categories: “loans 90 days past due and accruing”, “nonaccrual loans”, or “troubled debt restructurings not included above”. Loans in the latter category include loans that meet the definition of a TDR but are performing in accordance with the modified terms and therefore classified as accruing loans. At March 31, 2021, the Company had $7.7 million in TDRs, and of that total $1.6 million were reported as nonaccrual and $6.1 million were considered performing and included in the table above.

In general, the Company places a loan on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days or more past due and/or management deems the collectability of the principal and/or interest to be in question, as well as when required by applicable regulations. Although in nonaccrual status, the Company may continue to receive payments on these loans. These payments are generally recorded as a reduction to principal, and interest income is recorded only after principal recovery is reasonably assured.

The ratio of the allowance to nonperforming loans and leases (loans past due 90 days and accruing, nonaccrual loans and restructured troubled debt) was 103.38% at March 31, 2021, compared to 112.87% at December 31, 2020, and 170.74% at March 31, 2020. The Company’s nonperforming loans and leases are mostly made up of collateral dependent impaired loans with limited exposure or loans that require limited specific reserve due to the level of collateral available with respect to these loans and/or previous charge-offs.

The Company, through its internal loan review function, identified 31 commercial relationships totaling $36.6 million at March 31, 2021 that were potential problem loans. At December 31, 2020, the Company had identified 35 relationships totaling $40.8 million that were potential problem loans. Of the 31 commercial relationships at March 31, 2021 that were Substandard, there were 10 relationships that equaled or exceeded $1.0 million, which in aggregate totaled $31.0 million, the largest of which was $6.8 million. The potential problem loans remain in a performing status due to a variety of factors, including payment history, the value of collateral supporting the credits, and personal or government guarantees. These factors, when considered in the aggregate, give management reason to believe that the current risk exposure on these loans does not warrant accounting for these loans as nonperforming. However, these loans do exhibit certain risk factors, which have the potential to cause them to become nonperforming. Accordingly, management’s attention is focused on these credits, which are reviewed on at least a quarterly basis.

Capital

Total equity was $709.9 million at March 31, 2021, a decrease of $7.8 million or 1.1% from December 31, 2020. The decrease was mainly a result of the increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, reflecting the change in unrealized gains/loss on available-for-sale securities from a unrealized gain of $20.6 million at December 31, 2020 to an unrealized loss of $4.9 million at March 31, 2021. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in retained earnings.

Additional paid-in capital declined from $334.0 million at December 31, 2020, to $333.2 million at March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.5 million aggregate purchase price related to the Company's repurchase and retirement of 21,531 shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2021 pursuant to its publicly announced stock repurchase plan, $0.2 million related to the exercise of stock options and $0.2 million related to the Company's director deferred compensation plan partially offset by $1.2 million related to stock based compensation. Retained earnings increased by $17.6 million from $418.4 million at December 31, 2020, to $436.0 million at March 31, 2021, reflecting net income of $25.6 million less dividends paid of $8.1 million. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased from a net loss of $32.1 million at December 31, 2020, to a net loss of $57.0 million at March 31, 2021, reflecting a $25.5 million increase in unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities due to changes in market rates coupled with a $0.6 million decrease related to post-retirement benefit plans.

Cash dividends paid in the first three months of 2021 totaled approximately $8.0 million or $0.54 per common share, representing 31.4% of year to date 2021 earnings through March 31, 2021, and were up 3.9% over cash dividends of $7.8 million or $0.52 per common share paid in the first three months of 2020.

The Company and its subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by Federal bank regulatory 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 business, results of operation and financial condition. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (PCA), banks must meet specific guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications of the Company and its subsidiary banks are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators concerning components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of common equity Tier 1 capital, Total capital and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes that the Company and its subsidiary banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

In addition to setting higher minimum capital ratios, the Basel III Capital Rules introduced a capital conservation buffer, which must be added to each of the minimum capital ratios and is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. The capital conservation buffer was phased in over a three-year period that began on January 1, 2016, and was fully phased-in on January 1, 2019 at 2.5%.

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s capital ratios as of March 31, 2021:


Regulatory Capital Analysis
March 31, 2021	Actual				Minimum Capital Required - Basel III Fully Phased-In				Well Capitalized Requirement
(dollar amounts in thousands)	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
Total Capital (to risk weighted assets)	$	736,598	14.62	%	$	528,967	10.50	%	$	503,779	10.00	%
Tier 1 Capital (to risk weighted assets)	684,414		13.59	%	428,212		8.50	%	403,023		8.00	%
Tier 1 Common Equity (to risk weighted assets)	671,153		13.32	%	352,645		7.00	%	327,456		6.50	%
Tier 1 Capital (to average assets)	684,414		8.89	%	308,064		4.00	%	385,080		5.00	%

As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s capital ratios exceeded the minimum required capital ratios plus the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer, and the minimum required capital ratios for well capitalized institutions. The capital levels required to be considered well capitalized, presented in the above table, are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under Basel III Capital Rules.

Total capital as a percent of risk weighted assets increased to 14.6% at March 31, 2021, compared with 14.4% as of December 31, 2020. Tier 1 capital as a percent of risk weighted assets increased from 13.3% at the end of 2020 to 13.6% as of March 31, 2021. Tier 1 capital as a percent of average assets was 8.9% at March 31, 2021, which is up from 8.8% at December 31, 2020. Common equity Tier 1 capital was 13.3% at the end of the first quarter of 2021, up from 13.1% at the end of 2020.

As of March 31, 2021, the capital ratios for the Company’s subsidiary banks also exceeded the minimum required capital ratios plus the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer, and the minimum required capital ratios for well capitalized institutions.

In the first quarter of 2020, U.S. Federal regulatory authorities issued an interim final rule that provides banking organizations that adopt CECL during the 2020 calendar year with the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital relative to regulatory capital determined under the prior incurred loss methodology, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay (i.e., a five-year transition in total). In connection with our adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, we have elected to utilize the five-year CECL transition.

Deposits and Other Liabilities

Total deposits of $6.9 billion at March 31, 2021 were up $508.8 million or 7.9% from December 31, 2020. The increase from year-end was primarily in checking, money market and savings balances, which collectively were up $373.1 million or 9.9% from year end 2020. The majority of the increase was in money market deposit balances and reflects growth in municipal, non-personal and personal deposits. Noninterest bearing deposits and time deposits were up $132.1 million or 6.8% and up $3.6 million or 0.5%, respectively, from year-end 2020. Deposit balances have benefited from PPP loan originations and government stimulus. The majority of the Company's PPP loan originations were deposited in Tompkins checking accounts.

The most significant source of funding for the Company is core deposits. The Company defines core deposits as total deposits less time deposits of $250,000 or more, brokered deposits and municipal money market deposits and reciprocal deposit relationships with municipalities. Core deposits were up by $470.4 million or 9.1% from year-end 2020, to $5.6 billion at March 31, 2021. Core deposits represented 81.0% of total deposits at March 31, 2021, compared to 80.1% of total deposits at December 31, 2020.

The Company uses both retail and wholesale repurchase agreements. Retail repurchase agreements are arrangements with local customers of the Company, in which the Company agrees to sell securities to the customer with an agreement to repurchase those securities at a specified later date. Retail repurchase agreements totaled $47.5 million at March 31, 2021, and $65.8 million at December 31, 2020. Management generally views local repurchase agreements as an alternative to large time deposits.

The Company’s other borrowings totaled $265.0 million at both March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020. Borrowings at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021, included $265.0 million of FHLB term advances. Of the $265.0 million in FHLB term advances at March 31, 2021, $235.0 million was due in over one year.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not experienced any significant impact to our liquidity or funding capabilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is participating in the PPP under the CARES Act. The Federal Reserve Bank has provided a lending facility that may be used by banks to obtain funding specifically for PPP loans. PPP loans would be pledged as collateral on any of the Bank's borrowings under the Federal Reserve Bank's PPP lending facility. The Company has a long-standing liquidity plan in place that is designed to ensure that appropriate liquidity resources are available to fund the balance sheet. Additionally, given the uncertainties related to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on liquidity, the Company has confirmed the availability of funds at the FHLB of NY and FHLB of Pittsburgh, completed actions required to activate participation in the Federal Reserve Bank PPP lending facility, and confirmed availability of Federal Fund lines with correspondent bank partners.

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of adequate funding sources to satisfy the demand for credit, deposit withdrawals, and business investment opportunities. The Company’s large, stable core deposit base and strong capital position are the foundation for the Company’s liquidity position. The Company uses a variety of resources to meet its liquidity needs, which include deposits, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash flow from lending and investing activities, repurchase agreements, and borrowings. The Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee monitors asset and liability positions of the Company’s subsidiary banks individually and on a combined basis. The Committee reviews periodic reports on liquidity and interest rate sensitivity positions. Comparisons with industry and peer groups are also monitored. The Company’s strong reputation in the communities it serves, along with its strong financial condition, provides access to numerous sources of liquidity as described below. Management believes these diverse liquidity sources provide sufficient means to meet all demands on the Company’s liquidity that are reasonably likely to occur.

Core deposits, discussed above under “Deposits and Other Liabilities”, are a primary and low cost funding source obtained primarily through the Company’s branch network. In addition to core deposits, the Company uses non-core funding sources to support asset growth. These non-core funding sources include time deposits of $250,000 or more, brokered deposits, municipal money market deposits, reciprocal deposits, bank borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, overnight and term advances from the FHLB and other funding sources. Rates and terms are the primary determinants of the mix of these funding sources. Non-core funding sources of $1.6 billion at March 31, 2021 increased $20.0 million or 1.2% as compared to year end 2020. Non-core funding sources, as a percentage of total liabilities, were 22.1% at March 31, 2021, compared to 27.1% at December 31, 2020.

Non-core funding sources may require securities to be pledged against the underlying liability. Securities carried at $1.4 billion at March 31, 2021 and at $1.2 billion at December 31, 2020, were either pledged or sold under agreements to repurchase. Pledged securities represented 70.3% of total securities at March 31, 2021, compared to 75.3% of total securities at December 31, 2020.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $518.4 million as of March 31, 2021 which increased from $388.5 million at December 31, 2020. Short-term investments, consisting of securities due in one year or less, increased from $55.0 million at December 31, 2020, to $77.7 million at March 31, 2021.

Cash flow from the loan and investment portfolios provides a significant source of liquidity. These assets may have stated maturities in excess of one year, but have monthly principal reductions. Total mortgage-backed securities, at fair value, were $996.2 million at March 31, 2021 compared with $887.6 million at December 31, 2020. Outstanding principal balances of residential mortgage loans, consumer loans, and leases totaled approximately $1.5 billion at March 31, 2021, down $7.0 million or 0.5% compared with year end 2020. Aggregate amortization from monthly payments on these assets provides significant additional cash flow to the Company.

The Company's liquidity is enhanced by ready access to national and regional wholesale funding sources including Federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, brokered deposits, and FHLB advances. Through its subsidiary banks, the Company has borrowing relationships with the FHLB and correspondent banks, which provide secured and unsecured borrowing capacity. At March 31, 2021, the unused borrowing capacity on established lines with the FHLB was $2.1 billion.

As members of the FHLB, the Company’s subsidiary banks can use certain unencumbered mortgage-related assets and securities to secure additional borrowings from the FHLB. At March 31, 2021, total unencumbered residential mortgage loans and securities were $1.7 billion. Additional assets may also qualify as collateral for FHLB advances upon approval of the FHLB.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

ASU No 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ASU 2019-12 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2021, and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption

ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. It provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Tompkins is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements.

The Company reviewed new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Interest rate risk is the primary market risk category associated with the Company’s operations. Interest rate risk refers to the volatility of earnings caused by changes in interest rates. The Company manages interest rate risk using income simulation to measure interest rate risk inherent in its on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments at a given point in time. The simulation models are used to estimate the potential effect of interest rate shifts on net interest income for future periods. Each quarter, the Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee reviews the simulation results to determine whether the exposure of net interest income to changes in interest rates remains within levels approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Committee also considers strategies to manage this exposure and incorporates these strategies into the investment and funding decisions of the Company. The Company does not currently use derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, to manage its interest rate risk exposure, but may consider such instruments in the future.

The Company’s Board of Directors has set a policy that interest rate risk exposure will remain within a range whereby net interest income will not decline by more than 10% in one year as a result of a 100 basis point parallel change in rates. Based upon the simulation analysis performed as of February 28, 2021, a 200 basis point parallel upward change in interest rates over a one-year time frame would result in a one-year decrease in net interest income from the base case of approximately 2.2%, while a 100 basis point parallel decline in interest rates over a one-year period would result in a decrease in one-year net interest income from the base case of 1.8%. The simulation assumes no balance sheet growth and no management action to address balance sheet mismatches.

The decrease in net interest income in the rising rate scenario is a result of the balance sheet showing a more liability sensitive position over a one year time horizon. As such, in the short-term net interest income is expected to trend below the base assumption, as upward adjustments to rate sensitive deposits and short-term funding outpace increases to asset yields which are concentrated in intermediate to longer-term products. As intermediate and longer-term assets continue to reprice/adjust into higher rate environment and funding costs stabilize, net interest income is expected to trend upwards.

The down 100 rate scenario increases net interest income slightly in the first year as a result of the Company's assets repricing downward to a lesser degree than the rates on the Company's interest-bearing liabilities, mainly deposits and overnight borrowings. Rates on savings and money market accounts have moved down in the last 3 months, approaching historically low levels allowing for minimal interest rate relief in the first year of a declining rate scenario. In addition, the model assumes that prepayments accelerate in the down interest rate environment resulting in additional pressure on asset yields as proceeds are reinvested at lower rates.

The most recent simulation of a base case scenario, which assumes interest rates remain unchanged from the date of the simulation, reflects a net interest margin that is declining slightly over the next 12 to 18 months.

Although the simulation model is useful in identifying potential exposure to interest rate movements, actual results may differ from those modeled as the repricing, maturity, and prepayment characteristics of financial instruments may change to a different degree than modeled. In addition, the model does not reflect actions that management may employ to manage the Company’s interest rate risk exposure. The Company’s current liquidity profile, capital position, and growth prospects, offer a level of flexibility for management to take actions that could offset some of the negative effects of unfavorable movements in interest rates. Management believes the current exposure to changes in interest rates is not significant in relation to the earnings and capital strength of the Company.

In addition to the simulation analysis, management uses an interest rate gap measure. The table below is a Condensed Static Gap Report, which illustrates the anticipated repricing intervals of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2021. The Company’s one-year net interest rate gap was a positive $30.8 million or 0.38% of total assets at March 31, 2021, compared with a positive $58.9 million or 0.77% of total assets at December 31, 2020. A positive gap position exists when the amount of interest-bearing assets maturing or repricing exceeds the amount of interest-earning liabilities maturing or repricing within a particular time period. This analysis suggests that the Company’s net interest income is equally at risk in both an increasing and decreasing rate environment over the next 12 months. An interest rate gap measure could be significantly affected by external factors such as a rise or decline in interest rates, loan or securities prepayments, and deposit withdrawals.
