PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

UMB Financial Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise, the Company) is a financial holding company that is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. The Company provides banking services and asset servicing to its customers in the United States and around the globe.

The Company was organized as a corporation under Missouri law in 1967 and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHCA) and a financial holding company under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, as amended (the GLBA). The Company currently owns all of the outstanding stock of one national bank and several nonbank subsidiaries.

The Company’s national bank, UMB Bank, National Association (the Bank), has its principal office in Missouri and also has branches in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Bank offers a full complement of banking products and other services to commercial, retail, government, and correspondent-bank customers, including a wide range of asset-management, trust, bankcard, and cash-management services.

The Company also owns UMB Fund Services, Inc. (UMBFS), which is a significant nonbank subsidiary that has offices in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and Ogden, Utah. UMBFS provides fund accounting, transfer agency, and other services to mutual fund and alternative-investment groups.

Prior to March 31, 2021, the Company also owned Prairie Capital Management, LLC (PCM), which provided investment management services and alternative investments in hedge funds and private equity funds.  The Company sold its membership interests in PCM during the first quarter of 2021.

COVID-19

 

During the first quarter of 2020, the global economy began experiencing a downturn related to the impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic (the COVID-19 pandemic, or the pandemic).  Such impacts have included significant volatility in the global stock and fixed income markets, a 150-basis-point reduction in the target federal funds rate, the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, both authorizing the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) administered by the Small Business Administration, and a variety of rulings from the Company’s banking regulators.

 

The Company continues to actively monitor developments related to COVID-19 and its impact to its business, customers, employees, counterparties, vendors, and service providers. The COVID-19 pandemic and stay-at-home and similar mandates have necessitated certain actions related to the way the Company operates its business, including transitioning most of its workforce off-site or to work-from-home to help mitigate health risks. The Company is also carefully monitoring the activities of its vendors and other third-party service providers to mitigate the risks associated with any potential service disruptions. While the Company has not experienced material adverse disruptions to its internal operations due to the pandemic, it continues to review evolving risks and developments.  

 

See further details surrounding the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic under “Human Capital” below and within Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Business Segments

The Company’s products and services are grouped into three segments: Commercial Banking, Institutional Banking, and Personal Banking.

These segments and their financial results are described in detail in (i) the section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations entitled Business Segments, which can be found in Part II, Item 7 of this report and (ii) Note 12, “Business Segment Reporting,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which can be found in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

Competition

The Company faces intense competition in each of its business segments and in all of the markets and geographic regions that the Company serves. Competition comes from both traditional and non-traditional financial-services providers, including banks, savings associations, finance companies, investment advisors, asset managers, mutual funds, private-equity firms, hedge funds, brokerage firms, mortgage-banking companies, credit-card companies, insurance companies, trust companies, securities processing companies, and credit unions.  Increasingly, financial-technology (fintech) companies are partnering with financial-services providers to compete with the Company for lending, payments, and other business. Many of the Company’s competitors are not subject to the same kind or degree of supervision and regulation as the Company.

Competition is based on a number of factors.  Banking customers are generally influenced by convenience, interest rates and pricing, personal experience, quality and availability of products and other services, lending limits, transaction execution, and reputation. Investment advisory services compete primarily on returns, expenses, third-party ratings, and the reputation and performance of managers.  Asset servicing competes primarily on price, quality of services, and reputation.  The Company and its competitors are all impacted to varying degrees by the overall economy and health of the financial markets. 

The Company’s ability to successfully compete in its chosen markets and regions also depends on its ability to attract, retain, and motivate talented employees, to invest in technology and infrastructure, and to innovate, all while effectively managing its expenses.  The Company expects that competition will likely intensify in the future.

Human Capital

The Company is dedicated to creating the Unparalleled Customer Experience, and its associates are critical to achieving this mission. As part of the Company’s efforts to recruit and retain top talent, it strives to offer competitive compensation and benefits programs, while fostering a culture rooted in inclusion of a diverse mix of associates who are empowered to be part of something more. The Company believes its associates, customers, and communities mutually benefit by its focus on providing opportunities for its associates to make an impact at work and in its communities.  On a full-time equivalent basis at December 31, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries employed 3,529 associates across the country.

Compensation and Benefits Program. The Company’s compensation program is designed to allow it to attract, reward, and retain talented individuals who contribute significant value to the organization.  The Company’s compensation programs reward performance, reserving the highest rewards for the highest performers.  The Company’s incentive plans are intended to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing associates with incentives and rewards to encourage them to continue in service of the Company.  The Company provides employees with compensation packages that include base salary, annual short-term incentive bonuses, and long-term equity awards tied to management, growth, and protection of the business of the Company. In addition to cash and equity compensation, the Company offers a robust benefits program that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, health savings accounts and a variety of insurance options, including pet, life, and long-term care.  Additionally, the Company also offers associates benefits including paid time off, paid volunteer time off, paid parental leave, adoption assistance, a 401(k) plan, as well as profit sharing and an employee stock ownership plan. The Company strives to engage and encourage associates to act and take personal responsibility for improving their health and well-being, as well as the health and well-being of their families.  To assist associates with their goals, the Company offers wellness incentives and wellness coaches for strategic wellness support strategies.  

Diversity and Inclusion. The Company believes that an equitable and inclusive environment with diverse teams produces more creative solutions, results in better products and services, and is crucial to its efforts to attract and retain key talent. The Company’s talent acquisition team focuses on building recruitment marketing strategies that are designed to identify and attract diverse associates. The Company targets a diverse panel approach which encourages hiring managers to engage a diverse panel of candidates before making hiring decisions. The Company’s business resource groups (BRGs) also play a vital role in deepening the recruitment pipeline of diverse talent and refer candidates to the Company on a regular basis.  BRGs are structured to engage associates who share common interests, including associates from traditionally underrepresented groups.  Nearly 20% of the Company’s associates participate in one or more BRGs.

Community Involvement. For more than a century, the Company has maintained a commitment to the prosperity of each community it serves.  In addition to providing financial products built for the needs of its

4


 

customers, the Company uses associate volunteerism, associate financial giving, and corporate philanthropy to build strong community partnerships.  The Company encourages associates to give back to their local communities through various programs and initiatives, including paid volunteer time off and matching charitable gift programs.

COVID-19. The Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic is rooted in supporting its associates while focusing on the safety and security of associates, customers, and vendors.  Beginning mid-March 2020, more than 85% of associates shifted to a remote work environment.  The Company instituted social distancing signage and reconfigured spaces to limit the risk of exposure within its locations.  This allowed for additional associates to return on-site if they chose to, which increased on-site associates to approximately 35% as of December 31, 2021.  In December 2021, the Company announced plans that create increased flexibility in work location via hybrid work schedules.  Associates that have worked remotely due to the pandemic will return to corporate offices and branches in a phased approach during the first half of 2022.

For more information on the Company’s diversity and inclusion and community involvement initiatives, please see its Corporate Citizenship Report available at www.umb.com/corporatecitizenship.

Government Monetary and Fiscal Policies

In addition to the impact of general economic conditions, the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, capital, liquidity, and prospects are significantly affected by government monetary and fiscal policies that are announced or implemented in the United States and abroad.

A sizeable influence is exerted, in particular, by the policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the FRB), which influences monetary and credit conditions in the economy in pursuit of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates. Among the FRB’s policy tools are (1) open market operations (that is, purchases or sales of securities in the open market to adjust the supply of reserve balances in order to achieve targeted federal funds rates or to put pressure on longer-term interest rates in order to achieve more desirable levels of economic activity and job creation), (2) the discount rate charged on loans by the Federal Reserve Banks, (3) the level of reserves required to be held by depository institutions against specified deposit liabilities, (4) the interest paid or charged on balances maintained with the Federal Reserve Banks by depository institutions, including balances used to satisfy their reserve requirements, and (5) other deposit and loan facilities.

The FRB and its policies have a substantial impact on the availability and demand for loans and deposits, the rates, and other aspects of pricing for loans and deposits, and the conditions in equity, fixed income, currency, and other markets in which the Company operates.  Policies announced or implemented by other central banks around the world have a meaningful effect as well and sometimes may be coordinated with those of the FRB.

Tax and other fiscal policies, moreover, impact not only general economic conditions but also give rise to incentives or disincentives that affect how the Company and its customers prioritize objectives, operate businesses, and deploy resources.

Regulation and Supervision

The Company is subject to regulatory frameworks in the United States at federal, State, and local levels. In addition, the Company is subject to the direct supervision of various government authorities charged with overseeing the kinds of financial activities conducted by its business segments.

This section summarizes certain provisions of the principal laws and regulations that apply to the Company. The descriptions, however, are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text and judicial or administrative interpretations of those laws and regulations and other laws and regulations that affect the Company.

Overview

The Company is a bank holding company under the BHCA and a financial holding company under the GLBA. As a result, the Company—including all of its businesses and operations—is subject to the regulation, supervision, and examination of the FRB and to restrictions on permissible activities. This framework of regulation, supervision, and examination is intended primarily for the protection and benefit of depositors and other customers of the Bank, the Deposit Insurance Fund (the DIF) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC), the banking and

5


 

financial systems as a whole, and the broader economy, not for the protection or benefit of the Company’s shareholders or its non-deposit creditors.

Many of the Company’s subsidiaries are also subject to separate or related forms of regulation, supervision, and examination, including: (1) the Bank, by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC) under the National Banking Acts, the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the FDIA), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the CFPB) under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act); (2) UMBFS, UMB Distribution Services, LLC, and UMB Financial Services, Inc., by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and State regulatory authorities under federal and State securities laws, and UMB Distribution Services, LLC and UMB Financial Services, Inc., by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA); and (3) UMB Insurance, Inc., by State regulatory authorities under applicable State insurance laws. These regulatory schemes, like those overseen by the FRB, are designed to protect public or private interests that often are not aligned with those of the Company’s shareholders or non-deposit creditors.

The FRB possesses extensive authorities and powers to regulate the conduct of the Company’s businesses and operations. If the FRB were to take the position that the Company or any of its subsidiaries have violated any law or commitment or engaged in any unsafe or unsound practice, formal or informal corrective or enforcement actions could be taken by the FRB against the Company, its subsidiaries, and institution-affiliated parties (such as directors, officers, and agents). These enforcement actions could include an imposition of civil monetary penalties and could directly affect not only the Company, its subsidiaries, and institution-affiliated parties but also the Company’s counterparties, shareholders, and creditors and its commitments, arrangements, or other dealings with them. The OCC has similarly expansive authorities and powers over the Bank and its subsidiaries, as does the CFPB over matters involving consumer financial laws. The SEC, FINRA, and other domestic or foreign government authorities also have an array of means at their disposal to regulate and enforce matters within their jurisdiction that could impact the Company’s businesses and operations.

Restrictions on Permissible Activities and Corporate Matters

Under the BHCA, bank holding companies and their subsidiaries are generally limited to the business of banking and to closely related activities that are incidental to banking.

As a bank holding company that has elected to become a financial holding company under the GLBA, the Company is also able—directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries—to engage in activities that are financial in nature, that are incidental to a financial activity, or that are complementary to a financial activity and do not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. Activities that are financial in nature include: (1) underwriting, dealing in, or making a market in securities, (2) providing financial, investment, or economic advisory services, (3) underwriting insurance, and (4) merchant banking.

The Company’s ability to directly or indirectly engage in these banking and financial activities, however, is subject to conditions and other limits imposed by law or the FRB and, in some cases, requires the approval of the FRB or other government authorities. These conditions or other limits may arise due to the particular type of activity or, in other cases, may apply to the Company’s business more generally. Examples of the former are the substantial restrictions on the timing, amount, form, substance, interconnectedness, and management of the Company’s merchant banking investments. An example of the latter is a condition that, in order for the Company to engage in broader financial activities, its depository institutions must remain “well capitalized” and “well managed” under applicable banking laws and must receive at least a “satisfactory” rating under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).  

Under amendments to the BHCA promulgated by the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 and the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company may acquire banks outside of its home State of Missouri, subject to specified limits and may establish new branches in other States to the same extent as banks chartered in those States. Under the BHCA, however, the Company must procure the prior approval of the FRB and possibly other government authorities to directly or indirectly acquire ownership or control of five percent or more of any class of voting securities of, or substantially all of the assets of, an unaffiliated bank, savings association, or bank holding company. In deciding whether to approve any acquisition or branch, the FRB, the OCC, and other government authorities will consider public or private interests that may not be aligned with those of the Company’s shareholders or non-deposit creditors. The FRB also has the power to require the Company to divest any depository institution that cannot maintain its “well capitalized” or “well managed” status.

6


 

The FRB maintains a targeted policy that requires a bank holding company to inform and consult with the staff of the FRB sufficiently in advance of (1) declaring and paying a dividend that could raise safety and soundness concerns (for example, a dividend that exceeds earnings in the period for which the dividend is being paid), (2) redeeming or repurchasing regulatory capital instruments when the holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses, or (3) redeeming or repurchasing common stock or perpetual preferred stock that would result in a net reduction as of the end of the quarter in the amount of those equity instruments outstanding compared with the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption or repurchase occurred.

Requirements Affecting the Relationships among the Company, Its Subsidiaries, and Other Affiliates

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank, UMBFS, and its other subsidiaries but receives the vast majority of its revenue in the form of dividends from those subsidiaries. Without the approval of the OCC, however, dividends payable by the Bank in any calendar year may not exceed the lesser of (1) the current year’s net income combined with the retained net income of the two preceding years and (2) undivided profits. In addition, under the Basel III capital-adequacy standards described below under the heading “Capital-Adequacy Standards,” the Bank is currently required to maintain a capital conservation buffer in excess of its minimum risk-based capital ratios and will be restricted in declaring and paying dividends whenever the buffer is breached. The authorities and powers of the FRB, the OCC, and other government authorities to prevent any unsafe or unsound practice also could be employed to further limit the dividends that the Bank or the Company’s other subsidiaries may declare and pay to the Company.  

The Dodd-Frank Act requires a bank holding company like the Company to serve as a source of financial strength for its depository-institution subsidiaries and to commit resources to support those subsidiaries in circumstances when the Company might not otherwise elect to do so. The functional regulator of any nonbank subsidiary of the Company, however, may prevent that subsidiary from directly or indirectly contributing its financial support, and if that were to preclude the Company from serving as an adequate source of financial strength, the FRB may instead require the divestiture of depository-institution subsidiaries and impose operating restrictions pending such a divestiture.

A number of laws, principally Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act (the FRA), and the FRB’s Regulation W, also exist to prevent the Company and its nonbank subsidiaries from taking improper advantage of the benefits afforded to the Bank as a depository institution, including its access to federal deposit insurance and the discount window. These laws generally require the Bank and its subsidiaries to deal with the Company and its nonbank subsidiaries only on market terms and, in addition, impose restrictions on the Bank and its subsidiaries in directly or indirectly extending credit to or engaging in other covered transactions with the Company or its nonbank subsidiaries. The Dodd-Frank Act extended the restrictions to derivatives and securities lending transactions and expanded the restrictions for transactions involving hedge funds or private-equity funds that are owned or sponsored by the Company or its nonbank subsidiaries.

In addition, under the Volcker Rule, the Company is subject to extensive limits on proprietary trading and on owning or sponsoring hedge funds and private-equity funds. The limits on proprietary trading are largely directed toward purchases or sales of financial instruments by a banking entity as principal primarily for the purpose of short-term resale, a benefit from actual or expected short-term price movements, or the realization of short-term arbitrage profits. The limits on owning or sponsoring hedge funds and private-equity funds are designed to ensure that banking entities generally maintain only small positions in managed or advised funds and are not exposed to significant losses arising directly or indirectly from them. The Volcker Rule also provides for increased capital charges, quantitative limits, rigorous compliance programs, and other restrictions on permitted proprietary trading and fund activities, including a prohibition on transactions with a covered fund that would constitute a covered transaction under Sections 23A and 23B of the FRA.

Stress Testing and Enhanced Prudential Standards

The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA) was enacted in May 2018, amending requirements previously established in the Dodd-Frank Act, including stress testing and enhanced prudential standards.  Bank holding companies with assets of less than $100 billion, including the Company, are no longer subject to the requirement to conduct forward-looking, company-run stress testing, including publishing a summary of results.  The Company continues to run internal stress tests as a component of its comprehensive risk management and capital planning process.  In addition, the EGRRCPA increased the statutory asset threshold above which the Federal Reserve is required to apply enhanced prudential standards from $50 billion to $250 billion (subject to certain discretion by the Federal Reserve to apply any enhanced prudential standard requirement to any

7


 

bank holding company with between $100 billion and $250 billion in total consolidated assets that would otherwise be exempt under EGRRCPA).  The Company remains exempt from applying the enhanced prudential standards.

Capital-Adequacy Standards

The FRB and the OCC have adopted risk-based capital and leverage guidelines that require the capital-to-assets ratios of bank holding companies and national banks, respectively, to meet specified minimum standards.

The risk-based capital ratios are based on a banking organization’s risk-weighted asset amounts (RWAs), which are generally determined under the standardized approach applicable to the Company and the Bank by (1) assigning on-balance-sheet exposures to broad risk-weight categories according to the counterparty or, if relevant, the guarantor or collateral (with higher risk weights assigned to categories of exposures perceived as representing greater risk) and (2) multiplying off-balance-sheet exposures by specified credit conversion factors to calculate credit equivalent amounts and assigning those credit equivalent amounts to the relevant risk-weight categories. The leverage ratio, in contrast, is based on an institution’s average on-balance-sheet exposures alone.

The capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of December 31, 2021, are set forth below:

These capital-to-assets ratios also play a central role in prompt corrective action (PCA), which is an enforcement framework used by the federal banking agencies to constrain the activities of banking organizations based on their levels of regulatory capital. Five categories have been established using thresholds for the total risk-based capital ratio, the tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, the common-equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and the leverage ratio: (1) well capitalized, (2) adequately capitalized, (3) undercapitalized, (4) significantly undercapitalized, and (5) critically undercapitalized.  While bank holding companies are not subject to the PCA framework, the FRB is empowered to compel a holding company to take measures—such as the execution of financial or performance guarantees—when prompt corrective action is required in connection with one of its depository-institution subsidiaries. At December 31, 2021, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the PCA framework.

Basel III, including revisions to the global Basel III capital framework (commonly known as Basel IV), includes a number of more rigorous provisions applicable only to banking organizations that are larger or more internationally active than the Company and the Bank.  These include, for example, a supplementary leverage ratio incorporating off-balance-sheet exposures, a liquidity coverage ratio, and a net stable funding ratio. These standards may be informally applied or considered by the FRB and the OCC in their regulation, supervision, and examination of the Company and the Bank.

Deposit Insurance and Related Matters

The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC in the standard insurance amount of $250 thousand per depositor for each account ownership category. This insurance is funded through assessments on the Bank and other insured depository institutions. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, each institution’s assessment base is determined based on its average consolidated total assets less average tangible equity, and there is a scorecard method for calculating assessments that combines CAMELS (an acronym that refers to the five components of a bank’s condition that are addressed:  capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, and liquidity) ratings and specified forward-looking financial measures to determine each institution’s risk to the DIF.  The Dodd-Frank Act also requires the FDIC, in setting assessments, to offset the effect of increasing its reserve for the DIF on institutions with consolidated assets of less than $10 billion. The result of this revised approach to deposit-insurance assessments is generally an increase in costs, on an absolute or relative basis, for institutions with consolidated assets of $10 billion or more.

If an insured depository institution such as the Bank were to become insolvent or if other specified events were to occur relating to its financial condition or the propriety of its actions, the FDIC may be appointed as conservator or receiver for the institution. In that capacity, the FDIC would have the power to (1) transfer assets and liabilities of the institution to another person or entity without the approval of the institution’s creditors, (2) require

8


 

that its claims process be followed and to enforce statutory or other limits on damages claimed by the institution’s creditors, (3) enforce the institution’s contracts or leases according to their terms, (4) repudiate or disaffirm the institution’s contracts or leases, (5) seek to reclaim, recover, or recharacterize transfers of the institution’s assets or to exercise control over assets in which the institution may claim an interest, (6) enforce statutory or other injunctions, and (7) exercise a wide range of other rights, powers, and authorities, including those that could impair the rights and interests of all or some of the institution’s creditors. In addition, the administrative expenses of the conservator or receiver could be afforded priority over all or some of the claims of the institution’s creditors, and under the FDIA, the claims of depositors (including the FDIC as subrogee of depositors) would enjoy priority over the claims of the institution’s unsecured creditors.

The FDIA also provides that an insured depository institution can be held liable for any loss incurred or expected to be incurred by the FDIC in connection with another commonly controlled insured depository institution that is in default or in danger of default. This cross-guarantee liability is generally superior in right of payment to claims of the institution’s holding company and its affiliates.  

Other Regulatory and Supervisory Matters

As a public company, the Company is subject to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and other federal and State securities laws. In addition, because the Company’s common stock is listed with The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (NASDAQ), the Company is subject to the listing rules of that exchange.

The Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970 (commonly known as the Bank Secrecy Act), the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and related laws require all financial institutions, including banks and broker-dealers, to establish a risk-based system of internal controls reasonably designed to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism. These laws include a variety of recordkeeping and reporting requirements (such as currency and suspicious activity reporting) as well as know-your-customer and due-diligence rules.

Under the CRA, the Bank has a continuing and affirmative obligation to help meet the credit needs of its local communities—including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods—consistent with safe and sound banking practices. The CRA does not create specific lending programs but does establish the framework and criteria by which the OCC regularly assesses the Bank’s record in meeting these credit needs. The Bank’s ratings under the CRA are taken into account by the FRB and the OCC when considering merger or other specified applications that the Company or the Bank may submit from time to time.

The Bank is subject as well to a vast array of consumer-protection laws, such as qualified-mortgage and other mortgage-related rules under the jurisdiction of the CFPB. Lending limits, restrictions on tying arrangements, limits on permissible interest-rate charges, and other laws governing the conduct of banking or fiduciary activities are also applicable to the Bank. In addition, the GLBA imposes on the Company and its subsidiaries a number of obligations relating to financial privacy.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Financial-services companies routinely encounter and address risks and uncertainties. In the following paragraphs, the Company describes some of the principal risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect its business, results of operations, financial condition (including capital and liquidity), or prospects or the value of or return on an investment in the Company. These risks and uncertainties, however, are not the only ones faced by the Company. Other risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to the Company that it has failed to identify, or that it currently considers immaterial may adversely affect the Company as well. Except where otherwise noted, the risk factors address risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company as well as its subsidiaries. These risk factors should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (which can be found in Part II, Item 7 of this report) and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (which can be found in Part II, Item 8 of this report).

The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the Company and its customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, and the continued impacts on its business, financial position, results of operations, and prospects could potentially be significant. The spread of COVID-19 has created a global public-health crisis that has resulted in widespread volatility and deteriorations in household, business, economic, and market conditions. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s capital, liquidity, and other financial positions and on its business, results of operations, and prospects will depend on a number of evolving factors, including:

 

 

The duration, extent, and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 does not yet appear to be contained and could affect significantly more households and businesses. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be impossible to accurately predict.

 

The response of governmental and nongovernmental authorities. The actions of many governmental and nongovernmental authorities have been directed toward curtailing household and business activity to contain COVID-19 while simultaneously deploying fiscal- and monetary-policy measures to partially mitigate the adverse effects on individual households and businesses. These actions are not always coordinated or consistent across jurisdictions but, in general, have been rapidly expanding in scope and intensity.

 

The effect on the Company’s customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers. COVID-19 and its associated consequences and uncertainties may affect individuals, households, and businesses differently and unevenly. In the near-term if not longer, however, the Company’s credit, operational, and other risks are generally expected to increase.

 

The effect on economies and markets. Whether the actions of governmental and nongovernmental authorities will be successful in mitigating the adverse effects of COVID-19 is unclear. National, regional, and local economies and markets could suffer disruptions that are lasting. An economic slowdown could adversely affect the Company’s origination of new loans and the performance of its existing loans. In addition, governmental actions are meaningfully influencing the interest-rate environment, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic could cause the Company to experience higher credit losses in its lending portfolio, impairment of its goodwill and other financial assets, reduced demand for its products and services, and other negative impacts on its financial position, results of operations, and prospects. Sustained adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may also prevent the Company from satisfying its minimum regulatory capital ratios and other supervisory requirements, failing to be able to sustain the paying of dividends to its shareholders, or result in downgrades in its credit ratings.  

 

Because of the current expected credit loss (CECL) accounting standard, the Company’s financial results may be negatively affected as soon as weak or deteriorating economic conditions are forecasted and alter its expectations for credit losses. In addition, due to the expansion of the time horizon over which it is required to estimate future credit losses under CECL, the Company may experience increased volatility in its future provisions for credit losses.

 

The levels of, or changes in, interest rates could affect the Company’s business or performance. The Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition are highly dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on earning assets (such as loans and investments) and interest expense on deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is significantly affected by market interest rates, which in turn are influenced by monetary and fiscal policies, general economic conditions, the regulatory environment, competitive pressures, and expectations about future changes in interest rates. The policies and regulations of the federal government, in general, and the FRB, in particular, have a substantial impact on market interest rates. See “Government Monetary and Fiscal Policies” in Part I, Item 1 of this report, which is incorporated by reference herein. Additionally, the Company has a significant number of loans, derivative contracts, borrowings and other financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly dependent on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). In 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that LIBOR is to be transitioned to alternative rates. U.S. regulatory authorities voiced similar support for phasing out LIBOR.  The transition from LIBOR could create considerable costs and additional risk. Certain LIBOR rates will continue to be published until June 30, 2023 for existing LIBOR-indexed financial instruments, however no new LIBOR-indexed financial instruments can be originated after December 31, 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York represents the best alternative to LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to LIBOR. The Company discontinued entering into new LIBOR-indexed financial instruments effective

12


 

December 31, 2021. The majority of existing LIBOR-indexed contracts will revert to SOFR. The remainder will be individually negotiated to a mutual preferred replacement index. Since proposed alternative rates are calculated differently, payments under contracts referencing new rates will differ from those referencing LIBOR. Although the Company is currently unable to assess what the ultimate impact of the transition from LIBOR will be, failure to adequately manage the transition could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company may be adversely affected by policies, regulations, or events that have the effect of altering the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates (commonly known as the yield curve), depressing the interest rates associated with its earning assets to levels near the rates associated with its interest expense, or changing the spreads among different interest-rate indices. In addition, a rapid change in interest rates could result in interest expense increasing faster than interest income because of differences in the maturities of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Further, if laws impacting taxation and interest rates materially change, or if new laws are enacted, certain of the Company’s services and products, including municipal bonds, may be subject to less favorable tax treatment or otherwise adversely impacted.  The level of, and changes in, market interest rates—and, as a result, these risks and uncertainties—are beyond the Company’s control. The dynamics among these risks and uncertainties are also challenging to assess and manage. For example, while the highly accommodative monetary policy currently adopted by the FRB may benefit the Company to some degree by spurring economic activity among its customers, such a policy may ultimately cause the Company more harm by inhibiting its ability to grow or sustain net interest income. 

 

The Company’s customers and counterparties also may be negatively impacted by the levels of, or changes in, interest rates, which could increase the risk of delinquency or default on obligations to the Company. The levels of, or changes in, interest rates, moreover, may have an adverse effect on the value of the Company’s investment portfolio, which includes long-term municipal bonds with fixed interest rates, and other financial instruments, the return on or demand for loans, the prepayment speed of loans (including, without limitation, the pace of pay-downs expected or forecasted for commercial real estate and construction loans), the cost or availability of deposits or other funding sources, or the purchase or sale of investment securities.

 

See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Interest Rate Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of this report for a discussion of how the Company monitors and manages interest-rate risk.

Weak or deteriorating economic conditions, more liberal origination or underwriting standards, or financial or systemic shocks could increase the Company’s credit risk and adversely affect its lending or other banking businesses and the value of its loans or investment securities. The Company’s business and results of operations depend significantly on general economic conditions. When those conditions are weak or deteriorating in any of the markets or regions where the Company operates, its business or performance could be adversely affected. The Company’s lending and other banking businesses, in particular, are susceptible to weak or deteriorating economic conditions, which could result in reduced loan demand or utilization rates and at the same time increased delinquencies or defaults. These kinds of conditions also could dampen the demand for products and other services in the Company’s investment-management, asset-servicing, insurance, brokerage, or related businesses. Increased delinquencies or defaults could result as well from the Company adopting—for strategic, competitive, or other reasons—more liberal origination or underwriting standards for extensions of credit or other dealings with its customers or counterparties. If delinquencies or defaults on the Company’s loans or investment securities increase, their value and the income derived from them could be adversely affected, and the Company could incur administrative and other costs in seeking a recovery on its claims and any collateral. Weak or deteriorating economic conditions also may negatively impact the market value and liquidity of the Company’s investment securities, and the Company may be required to record additional impairment charges if investment securities suffer a decline in value that is determined to have resulted from a credit loss.  In addition, to the extent that loan charge-offs exceed estimates, an increase to the amount of provision expense related to the allowance for credit losses would reduce the Company’s income. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Credit Risk Management” in Part II, Item 7A of this report for a discussion of how the Company monitors and manages credit risk. A financial or systemic shock and a failure of a significant counterparty or a significant group of counterparties could negatively impact the Company, possibly to a severe degree, due to its role as a financial intermediary and the interconnectedness of the financial system.

A meaningful part of the Company’s loan portfolio is secured by real estate and, as a result, could be negatively impacted by deteriorating or volatile real-estate markets or associated environmental liabilities. At December 31, 2021, 50.0% of the Company’s aggregate loan portfolio—comprised of commercial real-estate loans

13


 

(representing 36.5% of the aggregate loan portfolio) and consumer real-estate loans (representing 13.5% of the aggregate loan portfolio)—was primarily secured by interests in real estate located in the States where the Company operates. Other credit extended by the Company may be secured in part by real estate as well.  Real-estate values in the markets where this collateral is located may be different from, and in some instances worse than, real-estate values in other markets or in the United States as a whole and may be affected by general economic conditions and a variety of other factors outside of the control of the Company or its customers. Any deterioration or volatility in these real-estate markets could result in increased delinquencies or defaults, could adversely affect the value of the loans and the income to be derived from them, could give rise to unreimbursed recovery costs, and could reduce the demand for new or additional credit and related banking products and other services, all to the detriment of the Company’s business and performance. In addition, if hazardous or toxic substances were found on any real estate that the Company acquires in foreclosure or otherwise, the Company may incur substantial liability for compliance and remediation costs, personal injury, or property damage.

Challenging business, economic, or market conditions could adversely affect the Company’s fee-based banking, investment-management, asset-servicing, or other businesses. The Company’s fee-based banking, investment-management, asset-servicing, and other businesses are driven by wealth creation in the economy, robust market activity, monetary and fiscal stability, and positive investor, business, and consumer sentiment. Economic downturns, market disruptions, high unemployment or underemployment, unsustainable debt levels, depressed real-estate markets, industry consolidations, or other challenging business, economic, or market conditions could adversely affect these businesses and their results. If the funds or other groups that are clients of UMBFS were to encounter similar difficulties, UMBFS’s revenue could suffer. The Company’s bank-card revenue is driven primarily by transaction volumes in business, healthcare, and consumer spending that generate interchange fees, and any of these conditions could dampen those volumes. Other fee-based banking businesses that could be adversely affected include trading, asset management, custody, trust, and cash and treasury management.

The Company’s investment-management and asset-servicing businesses could be negatively impacted by declines in assets under management or administration or by shifts in the mix of assets under management or administration.  The revenues of the Company’s investment-management businesses are highly dependent on advisory fee income.  These businesses generally earn higher fees on equity-based or alternative investments and strategies and lower fees on fixed income investments and strategies. Advisory-fee income may be negatively impacted by an absolute decline in assets under management or by a shift in the mix of assets under management from equities or alternatives to fixed income. Such a decline or shift could be caused or influenced by any number of factors, such as underperformance in absolute or relative terms, loss of key advisers or other talent, changes in investing preferences or trends, market downturns or volatility, drops in investor confidence, reputational damage, increased competition, or general economic conditions. Any of these factors also could affect clients of UMBFS, and if this were to cause a decline in assets under administration at UMBFS or an adverse shift in the mix of those assets, the performance of UMBFS could suffer.

To the extent that the Company continues to maintain a sizeable portfolio of available-for-sale investment securities, its income may be adversely affected and its reported equity more volatile. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s securities portfolio totaled approximately $13.8 billion, which represented approximately 32.4% of its total assets.  Regulatory restrictions and the Company’s investment policies generally result in the acquisition of securities with lower yields than loans.  For the year-ended December 31, 2021, the weighted average yield of the Company’s securities portfolio was 2.2% as compared to 3.7% for its loan portfolio.  Accordingly, to the extent that the Company is unable to effectively deploy its funds to originate or acquire loans or other assets with higher yields than those of its investment securities, the Company’s income may be negatively impacted.  Additionally, approximately $12.0 billion, or 86.7%, of the Company’s investment securities are classified as available for sale and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on these securities are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income, which in turn affects the Company’s reported equity.  As a result, to the extent that the Company continues to maintain a significant portfolio of available-for-sale securities, its reported equity may experience greater volatility.  

Cyber incidents and other security breaches at the Company, at the Company’s service providers or counterparties, or in the business community or markets may negatively impact the Company’s business or performance. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company collects, stores, and transmits sensitive, confidential, or proprietary data and other information, including intellectual property, business information, funds-transfer instructions, and the personally identifiable information of its customers and employees. The secure processing, storage, maintenance, and transmission of this information is critical to the Company’s operations and reputation, and if any of this information were mishandled, misused, improperly accessed, lost, or stolen or if the

14


 

Company’s operations were disrupted, the Company could suffer significant financial, business, reputational, regulatory, or other damage.  For example, despite security measures, the Company’s information technology and infrastructure may be breached through cyber-attacks, computer viruses or malware, pretext calls, electronic phishing, or other means. These risks and uncertainties are rapidly evolving and increasing in complexity, and the Company’s failure to effectively mitigate them could negatively impact its business and operations.

Risks and exposures related to cybersecurity attacks have increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related increased reliance on remote working, and are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future due to the rapidly evolving nature and sophistication of these threats and the expanding use of technology-based products and services by the Company and its customers. The Company can provide no assurances that the safeguards it has in place or may implement in the future will prevent all unauthorized infiltrations or breaches and that the Company will not suffer losses related to a security breach in the future, which losses may be material.

Service providers and counterparties also present a source of risk to the Company if their own security measures or other systems or infrastructure were to be breached or otherwise fail. Likewise, a cyber-attack or other security breach affecting the business community, the markets, or parts of them may cycle or cascade through the financial system and adversely affect the Company or its service providers or counterparties. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond the Company’s control.  

Even when an attempted cyber incident or other security breach is successfully avoided or thwarted, the Company may need to expend substantial resources in doing so, may be required to take actions that could adversely affect customer satisfaction or behavior, and may be exposed to reputational damage. If a breach were to occur, moreover, the Company could be exposed to contractual claims, regulatory actions, and litigation by private plaintiffs, and would additionally suffer reputational harm.  Despite the Company’s efforts to safeguard the integrity of systems and controls and to manage third-party risk, the Company may not be able to anticipate or implement effective measures to prevent all security breaches or all risks to the sensitive, confidential, or proprietary information that it or its service providers or counterparties collect, store, or transmit.

The trading volume in the Company’s common stock at times may be low, which could adversely affect liquidity and stock price. Although the Company’s common stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the trading volume in the stock may at times be low and, in relative terms, less than that of other financial-services companies.  A public trading market that is deep, liquid, and orderly depends on the presence in the marketplace of a large number of willing buyers and sellers and narrow bid-ask spreads.  These market features, in turn, depend on a number of factors, such as the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions, over which the Company has no control.  During any period of lower trading volume in the Company’s common stock, the stock price could be more volatile, and the liquidity of the stock could suffer.

The Company operates in a highly regulated industry, and its business or performance could be adversely affected by the legal, regulatory and supervisory frameworks applicable to it, changes in those frameworks, and other legal and regulatory risks and uncertainties. The Company is subject to expansive legal and regulatory frameworks in the United States—at the federal, State, and local levels—and in the foreign jurisdictions where its business segments operate.  In addition, the Company is subject to the direct supervision of government authorities charged with overseeing the taxation of domestic companies and the kinds of financial activities conducted by the Company in its business segments.  These legal, regulatory, and supervisory frameworks are often designed to protect public or private interests that differ from the interests of the Company’s shareholders or non-deposit creditors. See “Government Monetary and Fiscal Policies” and “Regulation and Supervision” in Part I, Item 1 of this report, which is incorporated by reference herein.  The Company believes that government scrutiny of all financial-services companies has increased, fundamental changes have been made to the banking, securities, and other laws that govern financial services (with the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III being two of the more prominent examples), and a host of related business practices have been reexamined and reshaped. As a result, the Company expects to continue devoting increased time and resources to risk management, compliance, and regulatory change management. Risks also exist that government authorities could judge the Company’s business or other practices as unsafe, unsound, or otherwise unadvisable and bring formal or informal corrective or enforcement actions against it, including fines or other penalties and directives to change its products or other services.  For practical or other reasons, the Company may not be able to effectively defend itself against these actions, and they in turn could give rise to litigation by private plaintiffs.  Further, if the laws, rules, and regulations materially adversely affect the Company, including any changes that would negatively impact the tax treatment of the Company, the Company’s products and services or the Company’s shareholders, the Company may be adversely impacted.  All of

15


 

these and other regulatory risks and uncertainties could adversely affect the Company’s reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition, or prospects.

Regulatory or supervisory requirements, future growth, operating results, or strategic plans may prompt the Company to raise additional capital, but that capital may not be available at all or on favorable terms and, if raised, may be dilutive. The Company is subject to safety-and-soundness and capital-adequacy standards under applicable law and to the direct supervision of government authorities. See “Regulation and Supervision” in Part I, Item 1 of this report. If the Company is not or is at risk of not satisfying these standards or applicable supervisory requirements—whether due to inadequate operating results that erode capital, future growth that outpaces the accumulation of capital through earnings, or otherwise—the Company may be required to raise capital, restrict dividends, or limit originations of certain types of commercial and mortgage loans. If the Company is required to limit originations of certain types of commercial and mortgage loans, it would thereby reduce the amount of credit available to borrowers and limit opportunities to earn interest income from the loan portfolio.  The Company also may be compelled to raise capital if regulatory or supervisory requirements change. In addition, the Company may elect to raise capital for strategic reasons even when it is not required to do so. The Company’s ability to raise capital on favorable terms or at all will depend on general economic and market conditions, which are outside of its control, and on the Company’s operating and financial performance.  Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured of its ability to raise capital when needed or on favorable terms.  An inability to raise capital when needed or on favorable terms could damage the performance and value of its business, prompt regulatory intervention, and harm its reputation, and if the condition were to persist for any appreciable period of time, its viability as a going concern could be threatened. If the Company is able to raise capital and does so by issuing common stock or convertible securities, the ownership interest of its existing stockholders could be diluted, and the market price of its common stock could decline.

The market price of the Company’s common stock could be adversely impacted by banking, antitrust, or corporate laws that have or are perceived as having an anti-takeover effect. Banking and antitrust laws, including associated regulatory-approval requirements, impose significant restrictions on the acquisition of direct or indirect control over any bank holding company, including the Company. Acquisition of ten percent or more of any class of voting stock of a bank holding company or depository institution, including shares of its common stock, generally creates a rebuttable presumption that the acquirer “controls” the bank holding company or depository institution. Also, a bank holding company must obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before, among other things, acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5 percent of the voting shares of any bank, including the Bank.

In addition, a non-negotiated acquisition of control over the Company may be inhibited by provisions of the Company’s restated articles of incorporation and bylaws that have been adopted in conformance with applicable corporate law, such as the ability to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the rights, terms, conditions and privileges of such preferred stock without stockholder approval. If any of these restrictions were to operate or be perceived as operating to hinder or deter a potential acquirer for the Company, the market price of the Company’s common stock could suffer.  

The Company’s business relies on systems, employees, service providers, and counterparties, and failures or errors by any of them or other operational risks could adversely affect the Company. The Company engages in a variety of businesses in diverse markets and relies on systems, employees, service providers, and counterparties to properly oversee, administer, and process a high volume of transactions. This gives rise to meaningful operational risk—including the risk of fraud by employees or outside parties, unauthorized access to its premises or systems, errors in processing, failures of technology, breaches of internal controls or compliance safeguards, inadequate integration of acquisitions, human error, and breakdowns in business continuity plans.  Significant financial, business, reputational, regulatory, or other harm could come to the Company as a result of these or related risks and uncertainties. For example, the Company could be negatively impacted if financial, accounting, data-processing, or other systems were to fail or not fully perform their functions. The Company also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to a pandemic, natural disaster, war, act of terrorism, accident, or other reason. These same risks arise as well in connection with the systems and employees of the service providers and counterparties on whom the Company depends as well as their own third-party service providers and counterparties. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Operational Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of this report for a discussion of how the Company monitors and manages operational risk.

The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us. The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect the Company. Financial services institutions are interrelated because of trading, clearing, counterparty and other relationships. The Company routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, payment processors, and other institutional clients, which may result in payment obligations to the Company or to its clients due to products it has arranged. Many of these transactions expose the Company to credit and market risk that may cause its counterparty or client to default. In addition, the Company is exposed to market risk when the collateral it holds cannot be realized or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the secured obligation. Any losses arising from such occurrences could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

The Company is heavily reliant on technology, and a failure or delay in effectively implementing technology initiatives or anticipating future technology needs or demands could adversely affect the Company’s business or performance. Like most financial-services companies, the Company significantly depends on technology to deliver its products and other services and to otherwise conduct business. To remain technologically competitive and operationally efficient, the Company invests in system upgrades, new solutions, and other technology initiatives, including for both internally and externally hosted solutions.  Many of these initiatives are of significant duration, are tied to critical systems, and require substantial internal and external resources. Although the Company takes steps to mitigate the risks and uncertainties associated with these initiatives, there is no guarantee that they will be implemented on time, within budget, or without negative operational or customer impact. The Company also may not succeed in anticipating its future technology needs, the technology demands of its customers, or the competitive landscape for technology. In addition, the Company relies upon the expertise and support of service providers to help implement, maintain and/or service certain of its core technology solutions.  If the Company cannot effectively manage these service providers, the service parties fail to materially perform, or the Company was to falter in any of the other noted areas, its business or performance could be negatively impacted.

Negative publicity outside of the Company’s control, or its failure to successfully manage issues arising from its conduct or in connection with the financial-services industry generally, could damage the Company’s reputation and adversely affect its business or performance. The performance and value of the Company’s business could be negatively impacted by any reputational harm that it may suffer. This harm could arise from negative publicity outside of its control or its failure to adequately address issues arising from its own conduct or in connection with the financial-services industry generally.  Risks to the Company’s reputation could arise in any number of contexts—for example, cyber incidents and other security breaches, mergers and acquisitions, lending or investment-management practices, actual or potential conflicts of interest, failures to prevent money laundering, corporate governance, and unethical behavior and practices committed by Company employees or competitors in the financial services industry.

The Company faces intense competition from other financial-services and financial-services technology companies, and competitive pressures could adversely affect the Company’s business or performance. The Company faces intense competition in each of its business segments and in all of its markets and geographic regions, and the Company expects competitive pressures to intensify in the future—especially in light of recent legislative and regulatory initiatives, technological innovations that alter the barriers to entry, current economic and market conditions, and government monetary and fiscal policies.  Competition with financial-services technology companies, or technology companies partnering with financial-services companies, may be particularly intense, due to, among other things, differing regulatory environments. See “Competition” in Part I, Item 1 of this report. Competitive pressures may drive the Company to take actions that the Company might otherwise eschew, such as lowering the interest rates or fees on loans or raising the interest rates on deposits in order to keep or attract high-quality customers. These pressures also may accelerate actions that the Company might otherwise elect to defer, such as substantial investments in technology or infrastructure. The Company has certain businesses that utilize wholesale models which can lead to customer concentrations for those businesses that, if negatively impacted by new entrants, competitive pressures, or consolidations, could affect the Company’s fee income. Whatever the reason, actions that the Company takes in response to competition may adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition. These consequences could be exacerbated if the Company is not successful in introducing new products and other services, achieving market acceptance of its products and other services, developing and maintaining a strong customer base, or prudently managing expenses.

The Company’s risk-management and compliance programs or functions may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss. The Company maintains an enterprise risk-management program that is designed to

17


 

identify, quantify, monitor, report, and control the risks that it faces. These include interest-rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, operational risk, reputational risk, and compliance risk. The Company also maintains a compliance program to identify, measure, assess, and report on its adherence to applicable law, policies, and procedures. While the Company assesses and improves these programs on an ongoing basis, there can be no assurance that its frameworks or models for risk management, compliance, and related controls will effectively mitigate risk and limit losses in its business. If conditions or circumstances arise that expose flaws or gaps in the Company’s risk-management or compliance programs or if its controls break down, the performance and value of the Company’s business could be adversely affected. The Company could be negatively impacted as well if, despite adequate programs being in place, its risk-management or compliance personnel are ineffective in executing them and mitigating risk and loss.

Liquidity is essential to the Company and its business or performance could be adversely affected by constraints in, or increased costs for, funding. The Company defines liquidity as the ability to fund increases in assets and meet obligations as they come due, all without incurring unacceptable losses.   Banks are especially vulnerable to liquidity risk because of their role in the maturity transformation of demand or short-term deposits into longer-term loans or other extensions of credit.  The Company, like other financial-services companies, relies to a significant extent on external sources of funding (such as deposits and borrowings) for the liquidity needed to conduct its business. A number of factors beyond the Company’s control, however, could have a detrimental impact on the availability or cost of that funding and thus on its liquidity. These factors include market disruptions, changes in its credit ratings or the sentiment of its investors, the state of the regulatory environment and monetary and fiscal policies, declines in the value of its investment securities, the loss of substantial deposits or customer relationships, financial or systemic shocks, significant counterparty failures, and reputational damage. Unexpected declines or limits on the dividends declared and paid by the Company’s subsidiaries also could adversely affect its liquidity position. While the Company’s policies and controls are designed to ensure that it maintains adequate liquidity to conduct its business in the ordinary course even in a stressed environment, there can be no assurance that its liquidity position will never become compromised. In such an event, the Company may be required to sell assets at a loss in order to continue its operations. This could damage the performance and value of its business, prompt regulatory intervention, and harm its reputation, and if the condition were to persist for any appreciable period of time, its viability as a going concern could be threatened. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Liquidity Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of this report for a discussion of how the Company monitors and manages liquidity risk.

If the Company’s subsidiaries are unable to make dividend payments or distributions to the Company, it may be unable to satisfy its obligations to counterparties or creditors or make dividend payments to its stockholders. The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its bank and nonbank subsidiaries and depends on dividend payments and distributions from those subsidiaries to fund its obligations to counterparties and creditors and its dividend payments to stockholders. See “Regulation and Supervision—Requirements Affecting the Relationships among the Company, Its Subsidiaries, and Other Affiliates” in Part I, Item 1 of this report. Any of the Company’s subsidiaries, however, may be unable to make dividend payments or distributions to the Company, including as a result of a deterioration in the subsidiary’s performance, investments in the subsidiary’s own future growth, or regulatory or supervisory requirements. If any subsidiary were unable to remain viable as a going concern, moreover, the Company’s right to participate in a distribution of assets would be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors (including, in the case of the Bank, its depositors and the FDIC).

An inability to attract, retain, or motivate qualified employees could adversely affect the Company’s business or performance.  Skilled employees are the Company’s most important resource, and competition for talented people is intense.  Even though compensation is among the Company’s highest expenses, it may not be able to locate and hire the best people, keep them with the Company, or properly motivate them to perform at a high level. Recent scrutiny of compensation practices, especially in the financial-services industry, has made this only more difficult. In addition, some parts of the Company’s business are particularly dependent on key personnel, including investment management, asset servicing, and commercial lending. If the Company were to lose and find itself unable to replace these personnel or other skilled employees or if the competition for talent drove its compensation costs to unsustainable levels, the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

The Company is subject to a variety of litigation and other proceedings, which could adversely affect its business or performance. The Company is involved from time to time in a variety of judicial, alternative-dispute, and other proceedings arising out of its business or operations. The Company establishes reserves for claims when appropriate under generally accepted accounting principles, but costs often can be incurred in connection with a matter before any reserve has been created. The Company also maintains insurance policies to mitigate the cost of

18


 

litigation and other proceedings, but these policies have deductibles, limits, and exclusions that may diminish their value or efficacy. Despite the Company’s efforts to appropriately reserve for claims and insure its business and operations, the actual costs associated with resolving a claim may be substantially higher than amounts reserved or covered. Substantial legal claims, even if not meritorious, could have a detrimental impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition and could cause reputational harm.

Changes in accounting standards could impact the Company’s financial statements and reported earnings. Accounting standard-setting bodies, such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, periodically change the financial accounting and reporting standards that affect the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. These changes are beyond the Company’s control and could have a meaningful impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s selection of accounting methods, assumptions, and estimates could impact its financial statements and reported earnings. To comply with generally accepted accounting principles, management must sometimes exercise judgment in selecting, determining, and applying accounting methods, assumptions, and estimates. This can arise, for example, in the determination of the allowance for credit losses. Furthermore, accounting methods, assumptions and estimates are part of acquisition purchase accounting and the calculation of the fair value of assets and liabilities that have been purchased, including credit-impaired loans.  The judgments required of management can involve difficult, subjective, or complex matters with a high degree of uncertainty, and several different judgments could be reasonable under the circumstances and yet result in significantly different results being reported. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 of this report. If management’s judgments are later determined to have been inaccurate, the Company may experience unexpected losses that could be substantial.

The Company’s ability to successfully make opportunistic mergers and acquisitions is subject to significant risks, including the risk that government authorities will not provide the requisite approvals, the risk that integrating acquisitions may be more difficult, costly, or time consuming than expected, and the risk that the value of acquisitions may be less than anticipated. The Company may make opportunistic acquisitions of other financial-services companies or businesses from time to time. These acquisitions may be subject to regulatory approval, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain that approval in a timely manner or at all. Even when the Company is able to obtain regulatory approval, the failure of other closing conditions to be satisfied or waived could delay the completion of an acquisition for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring altogether.  Any failure or delay in closing an acquisition could adversely affect the Company’s reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition, or prospects.

Additionally, acquisitions involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including lower-than-expected performance or higher-than-expected costs, difficulties related to integration, diversion of management’s attention from other business activities, changes in relationships with customers or counterparties, and the potential loss of key employees. An acquisition also could be dilutive to the Company’s current stockholders if preferred stock, common stock, or securities convertible into preferred stock or common stock were issued to fully or partially pay or fund the purchase price. The Company, moreover, may not be successful in identifying acquisition candidates, integrating acquired companies or businesses, or realizing the expected value from acquisitions. There is significant competition for valuable acquisition targets, and the Company may not be able to acquire other companies or businesses on attractive terms or at all.  There can be no assurance that the Company will pursue future acquisitions, and the Company’s ability to grow and successfully compete in its markets and regions may be impaired if it chooses not to pursue, or is unable to successfully complete, acquisitions.

 

The Company faces risks in connection with its strategic undertakings and new business initiatives. The Company is engaged, and may in the future engage, in strategic activities including acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships, investments or other business growth initiatives or undertakings. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify appropriate opportunities, that it will be able to negotiate or finance such activities or that such activities, if undertaken, will be successful. The Company is focused on its long-term growth and has undertaken various strategic activities and business initiatives, some of which may involve activities that are new to it. For example, in the future the Company may engage in or focus on new lines of business, financial technologies, and other activities that are outside of its current product offerings. These new initiatives may subject the Company to, among other risks, increased business, reputational and operational risk, as well as more complex legal, regulatory and compliance costs and risks. Its ability to execute strategic activities and new business initiatives successfully will depend on a variety of factors. These factors likely will vary based on the nature of the activity but may include the Company’s success in integrating an acquired company or a new internally-developed growth

19


 

initiative into its business, operations, services, products, personnel and systems, operating effectively with any partner with whom it elects to do business, meeting applicable regulatory requirements and obtaining applicable regulatory licenses or other approvals, hiring or retaining key employees, achieving anticipated synergies, meeting management's expectations, actually realizing the anticipated benefits of the activities, and overall general market conditions. The Company’s ability to address these matters successfully cannot be assured. In addition, its strategic efforts may divert resources or management's attention from ongoing business operations and may subject the Company to additional regulatory scrutiny and potential liability. If the Company does not successfully execute a strategic undertaking, it could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation or growth prospects.

 

Climate change and related legislative and regulatory initiatives may result in operational changes and expenditures that could significantly impact the Company’s business. The current and anticipated effects of climate change are creating an increasing level of concern for the state of the global environment. As a result, political and social attention to the issue of climate change has increased. In recent years, governments across the world have entered into international agreements to attempt to reduce global temperatures, in part by limiting greenhouse gas emissions. The United States Congress, state legislatures and federal and state regulatory agencies have continued to propose and advance numerous legislative and regulatory initiatives seeking to mitigate the effects of climate change. These agreements and measures may result in the imposition of taxes and fees, the required purchase of emission credits, and the implementation of significant operational changes, each of which may require the Company to expend significant capital and incur compliance, operating, maintenance and remediation costs. Given the lack of empirical data on the credit and other financial risks posed by climate change, it is impossible to predict how climate change may impact the Company’s financial condition and operations; however, as a banking organization, the physical effects of climate change may present certain unique risks to the Company. For example, weather disasters, shifts in local climates and other disruptions related to climate change may adversely affect the value of real properties securing the Company’s loans, which could diminish the value of the Company’s loan portfolio. Such events may also cause reductions in regional and local economic activity that may have an adverse effect on the Company’s customers, which could limit the Company’s ability to raise and invest capital in these areas and communities, each of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis highlights the material changes in the results of operations and changes in financial condition for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021.  It should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and other financial statistics appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the periods included in this review are not necessarily indicative of results to be attained during any future period.

CAUTIONARY NOTICE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time the Company has made, and in the future will make, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “target,” “trend,” “plan,” “goal,” or other words of comparable meaning or future-tense or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” or “could.” Forward-looking statements convey the Company’s expectations, intentions, or forecasts about future events, circumstances, results, or aspirations.

This report, including any information incorporated by reference in this report, contains forward-looking statements. The Company also may make forward-looking statements in other documents that are filed or furnished with the SEC. In addition, the Company may make forward-looking statements orally or in writing to investors, analysts, members of the media, or others.

All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which may change over time and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. You should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction or guarantee about the future.  Actual future objectives, strategies, plans, prospects, performance, conditions, or results may differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. While no list of assumptions, risks, or uncertainties could be complete, some of the factors that may cause actual results or other future events, circumstances, or aspirations to differ from those in forward-looking statements include:

 

local, regional, national, or international business, economic, or political conditions or events;

 

changes in laws or the regulatory environment, including as a result of financial-services legislation or regulation;

 

changes in monetary, fiscal, or trade laws or policies, including as a result of actions by central banks or supranational authorities;

 

changes in accounting standards or policies;

 

shifts in investor sentiment or behavior in the securities, capital, or other financial markets, including changes in market liquidity or volatility or changes in interest or currency rates;

 

changes in spending, borrowing, or saving by businesses or households;

 

the Company’s ability to effectively manage capital or liquidity or to effectively attract or deploy deposits;

 

changes in any credit rating assigned to the Company or its affiliates;

 

adverse publicity or other reputational harm to the Company;

 

changes in the Company’s corporate strategies, the composition of its assets, or the way in which it funds those assets;

 

the Company’s ability to develop, maintain, or market products or services or to absorb unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with those products or services;

24


 

 

the Company’s ability to innovate to anticipate the needs of current or future customers, to successfully compete in its chosen business lines, to increase or hold market share in changing competitive environments, or to deal with pricing or other competitive pressures;

 

changes in the credit, liquidity, or other condition of the Company’s customers, counterparties, or competitors;

 

the Company’s ability to effectively deal with economic, business, or market slowdowns or disruptions;

 

judicial, regulatory, or administrative investigations, proceedings, disputes, or rulings that create uncertainty for, or are adverse to, the Company or the financial-services industry;

 

the Company’s ability to address changing or stricter regulatory or other governmental supervision or requirements;

 

the Company’s ability to maintain secure and functional financial, accounting, technology, data processing, or other operating systems or facilities, including its capacity to withstand cyber-attacks;

 

the adequacy of the Company’s corporate governance, risk-management framework, compliance programs, or internal controls, including its ability to control lapses or deficiencies in financial reporting or to effectively mitigate or manage operational risk;

 

the efficacy of the Company’s methods or models in assessing business strategies or opportunities or in valuing, measuring, monitoring, or managing positions or risk;

 

the Company’s ability to keep pace with changes in technology that affect the Company or its customers, counterparties, or competitors;

 

mergers, acquisitions, or dispositions, including the Company’s ability to integrate acquisitions and divest assets;

 

the adequacy of the Company’s succession planning for key executives or other personnel;

 

the Company’s ability to grow revenue, control expenses, or attract and retain qualified employees;

 

natural disasters, war, terrorist activities, pandemics, or the outbreak of COVID-19 or similar outbreaks, and their effects on economic and business environment in which the Company operates;

 

adverse effects due to COVID-19 on the Company and its customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, and the adverse impacts to its business, financial position, results of operations, and prospects; or

 

other assumptions, risks, or uncertainties described in the Risk Factors (Item 1A), Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Item 7), or the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Item 8) in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or described in any of the Company’s annual, quarterly or current reports.

Any forward-looking statement made by the Company or on its behalf speaks only as of the date that it was made. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of events, circumstances, or results that arise after the date that the statement was made, except as required by applicable securities laws. You, however, should consult further disclosures (including disclosures of a forward-looking nature) that the Company may make in any subsequent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Current Report on Form 8-K.

Results of Operations

Overview

 

During the first quarter of 2020, the global economy began experiencing a downturn related to the impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic (the COVID-19 pandemic, or the pandemic).  Such impacts have included significant volatility in the global stock and fixed income markets, a 150-basis-point reduction in the target federal funds rate, the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, both authorizing the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) administered by the Small Business Administration, and a variety of rulings from the Company’s banking regulators.

 

25


 

 

The Company continues to actively monitor developments related to COVID-19 and its impact to its business, customers, employees, counterparties, vendors, and service providers. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s results of operations included continued maintenance of the allowance for credit losses (ACL) at a level appropriate given the state of key macroeconomic variables utilized in the econometric models at December 31, 2021.  Additionally, the Company continued to see impacts of the volatile equity and debt markets and low interest rate environment in its fee-based businesses.

 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company formed a Pandemic Taskforce and a steering group comprised of associates across multiple lines of business and support functions and has taken several actions to offer various forms of support to its customers, employees, and communities that have experienced impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has also increased purchases of computer hardware to support a remote workforce, as well as incurred additional cleaning and janitorial expense to disinfect branch and office locations.  The Company has actively worked with customers impacted by the economic downturn by offering payment deferrals and other loan modifications.  See further details under “Credit Risk Management” within “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”  

 

The COVID-19 pandemic and stay-at-home and similar mandates have also necessitated certain actions related to the way the Company operates its business. The Company transitioned most of its workforce off-site or to work-from-home to help mitigate health risks and is currently moving forward with plans to bring associates back in the office in a phased approach during the first half of 2022. The Company is also carefully monitoring the activities of its vendors and other third-party service providers to mitigate the risks associated with any potential service disruptions.

The Company has detailed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in each applicable section of “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included below.

The Company focuses on the following four core financial objectives.  Management believes these objectives will guide its efforts to achieve its vision, to deliver the Unparalleled Customer Experience, all while seeking to improve net income and strengthen the balance sheet while undertaking prudent risk management.

The first financial objective is to continuously improve operating efficiencies. The Company has focused on identifying efficiencies that simplify its organizational and reporting structures, streamline back office functions and take advantage of synergies and newer technologies among various platforms and distribution networks. The Company has identified and expects to continue identifying ongoing efficiencies through the normal course of business that, when combined with increased revenue, will contribute to improved operating leverage.  For 2021, total revenue decreased 0.7%, and noninterest expense increased 1.4%, as compared to the previous year.  Revenue for 2020 included a gain on the Company’s investment in Tattooed Chef, Inc. (TTCF) of $108.8 million. Revenue for 2021 included a loss of $15.4 million on TTCF.  The Company continues to invest in technological advances that it believes will help management drive operating leverage in the future through improved data analysis and automation. The Company also continues to evaluate core systems and will invest in enhancements that it believes will yield operating efficiencies.

The second financial objective is to increase net interest income through profitable loan and deposit growth and the optimization of the balance sheet.  For 2021, net interest income increased $84.3 million, or 11.5%, as compared to the previous year. The Company has shown increased net interest income through the effects of increased volume, the mix of average earning assets, and PPP income.  Loans recorded under the PPP increased loan interest income by $12.4 million in 2021 as compared to 2020.  The additional increase in interest income was driven by increased loan and securities balances and liquidity.  These increases were offset by a lower rate environment.  Average earning assets increased $6.7 billion, or 24.7%, compared to 2020.  Average loan balances increased $1.5 billion, average securities increased $2.2 billion, and average interest-bearing due from banks increased $2.8 billion from prior year. Average PPP loans decreased $229.0 million.  The funding for these assets was driven primarily by a 17.5% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities and 43.5% increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.  Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased 31 basis points compared to the same period in 2020.

The third financial objective is to grow the Company’s revenue from noninterest sources.  The Company seeks to grow noninterest revenues throughout all economic and interest rate cycles, while positioning itself to benefit in periods of economic growth.  Noninterest income decreased $93.0 million, or 16.6%, to $467.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.  This decrease was primarily driven by the $108.8

26


 

million gain on the Company’s investment in TTCF in 2020, coupled with a loss on TTCF of $15.4 million in 2021.  The decreased revenue attributed to TTCF is offset by increased fund services income and corporate trust income.  These changes are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest income. As of December 31, 2021, noninterest income represented 36.4% of total revenues, as compared to 43.4% for 2020.

The fourth financial objective is effective capital management.  The Company places a significant emphasis on maintaining a strong capital position, which management believes promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. The Company continues to maximize shareholder value through a mix of reinvesting in organic growth, evaluating acquisition opportunities that complement the Company’s strategies, increasing dividends over time, and appropriately utilizing a share repurchase program.  At December 31, 2021, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.88% and $3.1 billion in total shareholders’ equity, an increase of $128.5 million, or 4.3%, compared to total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2020. The Company repurchased 68 thousand shares of common stock at an average price of $81.36 per share during 2021 and declared $67.3 million in dividends, which represents a 10.9% increase compared to dividends declared during 2020.

Earnings Summary

The Company recorded consolidated net income of $353.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.  This represents a 23.2% increase over 2020.  Net income for 2020 was $286.5 million, or an increase of 17.6% compared to 2019.  Basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021, were $7.31 per share compared to $5.95 per share in 2020, an increase of 22.9%.  Basic earnings per share were $4.99 per share in 2019, or an increase of 19.2% from 2019 to 2020. Fully diluted earnings per share increased 22.1% from 2020 to 2021 and increased 19.6% from 2019 to 2020.  Return on average assets and return on average common shareholder’s equity for the year ended December 31, 2021 were 1.00% and 11.43%, respectively, compared to 1.00% and 10.21%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020.  Return on average assets and return on average common shareholder’s equity for the year ended December 31, 2019 were 1.02% and 9.94%, respectively.

The Company’s net interest income increased to $815.5 million in 2021 compared to $731.2 million in 2020 and $670.9 million in 2019.  In total, net interest income increased $84.3 million, as compared to 2020, primarily driven by a favorable volume variance of $85.0 million.  See Table 2.  The favorable volume variance on earning assets was predominantly driven by an increase of $6.7 billion in average earning assets, or 24.7%.  Average interest-bearing due from banks increased $2.8 billion, average securities balances increased $2.2 billion, and average loan balances increased $1.5 billion for 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.  Net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent basis (FTE), decreased to 2.50% for 2021, compared to 2.81% for the same period in 2020, as the asset yields and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased, coupled with an increased balance sheet.  This created significant margin compression.  The Company has seen a decrease in the benefit from interest-free funds as compared to 2020 driven by the lower rate environment.  The impact of this benefit decreased seven basis points compared to 2020 and is illustrated on Table 3.  The magnitude and duration of this impact will be largely dependent upon the FRB’s policy decisions and market movements. See Table 18 in Item 7A for an illustration of the impact of an interest rate increase or decrease on net interest income as of December 31, 2021.

The provision for credit losses totaled $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is a decrease of $110.5 million, or 84.7%, compared to the same period in 2020.  This change is the result of the adoption of the CECL standard in 2020 and applying this methodology for computing the allowance for credit losses, coupled with the impacts of the current and forecasted economic environment related to the COVID-19 pandemic. See further discussion in “Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses” in this report.  

The Company had a decrease of $93.0 million, or 16.6%, in noninterest income in 2021, as compared to 2020, and an increase of $133.4 million, or 31.3%, in 2020, compared to 2019.  The decrease in 2021 and increase in 2020 is primarily attributable to a decrease of $115.6 million and an increase of $118.4 million in Investment securities gains, net.  This is primarily driven by the $108.8 million gain on the Company’s investment in TTCF in 2020 and a loss of $15.4 million in 2021.  The decrease in 2021 is also impacted by increased fund services income, corporate trust, and bankcard income.  These are offset by a decrease in brokerage income.  The change in noninterest income in 2021 from 2020, and 2020 from 2019 is illustrated in Table 6.

Noninterest expense increased in 2021 by $11.6 million, or 1.4%, compared to 2020 and increased by $43.1 million, or 5.5%, in 2020 compared to 2019.  The increase in 2021 is primarily driven by increases in processing

27


 

fees and salary and employee benefits expense, offset by lower operating losses and equipment expense.  The increase in noninterest expense in 2021 from 2020, and 2020 from 2019 is illustrated in Table 7.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is a significant source of the Company’s earnings and represents the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds the interest expense paid on liabilities.  The volume of interest earning assets and the related funding sources, the overall mix of these assets and liabilities, and the interest rates paid on each affect net interest income.  Table 2 summarizes the change in net interest income resulting from changes in volume and rates for 2021, 2020 and 2019.  

Net interest margin, presented in Table 1, is calculated as net interest income on a fully tax- equivalent basis as a percentage of average earning assets.  Net interest income is presented on a tax-equivalent basis to adjust for the tax-exempt status of earnings from certain loans and investments, which are primarily obligations of state and local governments.  A critical component of net interest income and related net interest margin is the percentage of earning assets funded by interest-free sources.  Table 3 analyzes net interest margin for the three years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.  Net interest income, average balance sheet amounts and the corresponding yields earned and rates paid for the years 2019 through 2021 are presented in Table 1 below.

RATE-VOLUME ANALYSIS (in thousands)

This analysis attributes changes in net interest income either to changes in average balances or to changes in average interest rates for earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The change in net interest income that is due to both volume and interest rate has been allocated to volume and interest rate in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the change in each.  All interest rates are presented on a tax-equivalent basis and give effect to tax-exempt interest income net of the disallowance of interest expense for federal income tax purposes, related to certain tax-free assets.  The loan average balances and rates include nonaccrual loans.

The Company experienced an increase in net interest income of $84.3 million, or 11.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 2020.  This follows an increase of $60.3 million, or 9.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 2019.  Average earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $6.7 billion, or 24.7%, compared to the same period in 2020.  Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased to 2.50% for 2021 compared to 2.81% in 2020.    

The Company funds a significant portion of its balance sheet with noninterest-bearing demand deposits.  Noninterest-bearing demand deposits represented 45.9%, 36.5% and 32.1% of total outstanding deposits at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  As illustrated in Table 3, the impact from these interest-free funds was eight basis points in 2021, as compared to 15 basis points in 2020 and 43 basis points in 2019.

The Company has experienced an increase in net interest income during 2021 due to a volume variance of $85.0 million, offset by a very minimal negative rate variance of $0.7 million.  The average rate on earning assets during 2021 has decreased by 46 basis points, while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 22 basis points, resulting in a 24 basis-point decrease in spread.  The volume of loans has increased from an average of $15.1 billion in 2020 to an average of $16.6 billion in 2021 driven by organic loan growth.  The volume of interest-bearing liabilities increased from $17.5 billion in 2020 to $20.6 billion in 2021.  The Company expects to see continued volatility in the economic markets and government responses to these changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  These changing economic conditions and governmental responses could have impacts on the balance sheet and income statement of the Company in 2022.  Loan-related earning assets tend to generate a higher spread than those earned in the Company’s investment portfolio.  By design, the Company’s investment portfolio is moderate in duration and liquid in its composition of assets.    

During 2022, approximately $1.6 billion of available-for-sale securities are expected to have principal repayments.  This includes approximately $453 million which will have principal repayments during the first quarter of 2022.  The available-for-sale investment portfolio had an average life of 67.6 months, 70.1 months, and 70.9 months as of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.  

Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL represents management’s judgment of total expected losses included in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date.  The Company’s process for recording the ACL is based on the evaluation of the Company’s lifetime historical loss experience, management’s understanding of the credit quality inherent in the loan portfolio, and the impact of the current economic environment, coupled with reasonable and supportable economic forecasts.

A mathematical calculation of an estimate is made to assist in determining the adequacy and reasonableness of management’s recorded ACL.  To develop the estimate, the Company follows the guidelines in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326).  The estimate reserves for assets held at amortized cost and any related credit deterioration in the Company’s available-for-sale debt security portfolio.  Assets held at amortized cost include the Company’s loan book and held-to-maturity security portfolio.

32


 

The process involves the consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the specific segmentation of loans.  These factors have been established over decades of financial institution experience and include economic observation and loan loss characteristics.  This process is designed to produce a lifetime estimate of the losses, at a reporting date, that includes evaluation of historical loss experience, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the qualitative framework outlined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in the published 2020 Interagency Policy Statement.  This process allows management to take a holistic view of the recorded ACL reserve and ensure that all significant and pertinent information is considered.

The Company considers a variety of factors to ensure the safety and soundness of its estimate including a strong internal control framework, extensive methodology documentation, credit underwriting standards which encompass the Company’s desired risk profile, model validation, and ratio analysis.  If the Company’s total ACL estimate, as determined in accordance with the approved ACL methodology, is either outside a reasonable range based on review of economic indicators or by comparison of historical ratio analysis, the ACL estimate is an outlier and management will investigate the underlying reason(s).  Based on that investigation, issues or factors that previously had not been considered may be identified in the estimation process, which may warrant adjustments to estimated credit losses.

The ending result of this process is a recorded consolidated ACL that represents management’s best estimate of the total expected losses included in the loan portfolio, held-to-maturity securities, and credit deterioration in available-for-sale securities.

Table 4 presents the components of the allowance by loan portfolio segment.  The Company manages the ACL against the risk in the entire loan portfolio and therefore, the allocation of the ACL to a particular loan segment may change in the future.  Management of the Company believes the present ACL is adequate considering the Company’s loss experience, delinquency trends and current economic conditions.  Future economic conditions and borrowers’ ability to meet their obligations, however, are uncertainties which could affect the Company’s ACL and/or need to change its current level of provision.  For more information on loan portfolio segments and ACL methodology refer to Note 3, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table 5 presents a summary of the Company’s ACL for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.  Also, please see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk – Credit Risk Management” in this report for information relating to nonaccrual, past due, restructured loans, and other credit risk matters.  For more information on loan portfolio segments and ACL methodology refer to Note 3, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As illustrated in Table 5 below, the ACL decreased as a percentage of total loans to 1.13% as of December 31, 2021, compared to 1.34% as of December 31, 2020.  The provision for credit losses, including provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures, totaled $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is a decrease of $110.5 million, or 84.7%, compared to the same period in 2020. The provision for credit losses, including provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures, totaled $130.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.  This decrease is the result of the impacts of the current and forecasted economic environment related to the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 and 2021, coupled with various portfolio changes.

Noninterest Income

A key objective of the Company is the growth of noninterest income to provide a diverse source of revenue not directly tied to interest rates.  Fee-based services are typically non-credit related and are not generally affected by fluctuations in interest rates.  Noninterest income decreased in 2021 by $93.0 million, or 16.6%, compared to 2020 and increased in 2020 by $133.4 million, or 31.3%, compared to 2019.  The decrease in 2021 is primarily

34


 

attributable to a decrease in investment securities gains, net, offset by increased fund services income, corporate trust income, and bankcard income. These are offset by a decrease in brokerage income.  The increase in 2020 is primarily attributable to investment securities gains, net, fund services income, and trading and investment banking income.

The Company’s fee-based services offer multiple products and services, which management believes will more closely align with customer product demands.  The Company is currently emphasizing fee-based services including trust and securities processing, bankcard, securities trading and brokerage and cash and treasury management.  Management believes that it can offer these products and services both efficiently and profitably, as most have common platforms and support structures.

Noninterest income and the year-over-year changes in noninterest income are summarized in Table 6 above.  The dollar change and percent change columns highlight the respective net increase or decrease in the categories of noninterest income in 2021 compared to 2020, and in 2020 compared to 2019.

Trust and securities processing income consists of fees earned on personal and corporate trust accounts, custody of securities services, trust investments and wealth management services, and mutual fund assets servicing.  This income category increased by $29.5 million, or 15.1% in 2021, compared to 2020, and increased by $17.7 million, or 10.0%, in 2020, compared to 2019.  During 2021, fund services income increased $27.5 million and corporate trust income increased $5.8 million, offset by a decrease in wealth management income of $3.8 million.  During 2020, fund services income increased $10.6 million and corporate trust income increased $7.2 million.  

Trading and investment banking income decreased $2.0 million, or 6.1%, in 2021 compared to 2020 and increased $9.5 million, or 40.4%, in 2020 compared to 2019.  The decrease in 2021 compared to 2020 was driven by slightly lower trading volume and lower market values.  The increase in 2020 compared to 2019 was driven by increased bond trading volume.

Service charges on deposits income increased $2.2 million, or 2.6%, in 2021 compared to 2020 and increased $1.1 million, or 1.4%, in 2020 compared to 2019.  The increase in 2021 compared to 2020 was driven by increased corporate service charge income.  The increase in 2020 compared to 2019 was driven by increased healthcare services income.

Brokerage fees decreased $12.2 million, or 50.0%, in 2021 compared to 2020 and $6.9 million, or 22.1%, in 2020 compared to 2019.  These decreases were primarily due to lower money market and 12b-1 income driven by a decrease in volume and interest rates.

Bankcard fees increased $4.0 million, or 6.7%, in 2021 compared to 2020, and decreased $6.2 million, or 9.3%, in 2020 compared to 2019.  The increase in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily driven by increased interchange income, offset by increased rewards and rebate expense.  The decrease in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily driven by decreased interchange income, offset by decreased rewards and rebate expense.

Investment securities gains, net decreased $115.6 million in 2021 compared to 2020 but increased by $118.4 million in 2020 compared to 2019, primarily driven by changes in valuation of the Company’s investment in TTCF.  The decrease in 2021 was driven by the $15.4 million loss in 2021 on TTCF, coupled with the $108.8 million gain on TTCF recorded in 2020.  This decrease was offset by an increase of $5.9 million in gains on equity securities without readily determinable fair values.  The increase in 2020 was driven by the $108.8 million gain on TTCF, an increase of $3.9 million in gains on equity securities without readily determinable fair values, and an increase of $3.8 million in gains on sales of available-for-sale securities.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased in 2021 by $11.6 million, or 1.4%, compared to 2020 and increased in 2020 by $43.1 million, or 5.5%, compared to 2019.  From 2020 to 2021 the increases were driven by processing fees and salary and employee benefits expense, offset by other miscellaneous expense, and equipment expense.  The main drivers of the increase from 2019 to 2020 were driven by salary and employee benefits expense, other miscellaneous expense, and equipment expense, offset by a decrease in marketing and business development expense.  Table 7 below summarizes the components of noninterest expense and the respective year-over-year changes for each category.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $9.0 million, or 1.8%, in 2021 compared to 2020 and $34.0 million, or 7.4%, in 2020 compared to 2019.  In 2021, bonus and commission expense increased $8.7 million, or 7.5%, driven by business volumes and revenue growth, and higher company performance.  Salary and wage expense increased $1.7 million, or 0.6%.  These increases were offset by a decrease in employee benefits expense of $1.4 million, or 1.7%.  In 2020, bonus and commission expense increased $23.6 million, or 25.3%, driven by business volumes and revenue growth, and higher company performance.  Salary and wage expense increased $12.1 million, or 4.3%.  These increases were offset by a decrease in employee benefits expense of $1.7 million, or 2.1%.

Equipment expense decreased $7.3 million, or 8.5%, in 2021 compared to 2020, and increased $6.6 million, or 8.4%, from 2019 to 2020, respectively.  The decrease in 2021 was driven by lower software amortization related to a transition to cloud-based computing solutions.  The increase in 2020 compared to 2019 was driven by computer hardware and software expenses for the ongoing investments in digital channel and integrated platform solutions to support business growth and the continued modernization of core systems.

Marketing and business development expense increased $3.9 million, or 26.3%, in 2021 compared to 2020, but decreased $11.6 million, or 44.1%, in 2020 compared to 2019.  The increase in 2021 was driven by the timing of advertising and business development projects and higher travel expenses as compared to 2020.  The decrease in 2020 is driven by reduced travel and entertainment expenses and business development expense related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Processing fees expense increased $13.4 million, or 24.6%, in 2021 compared to 2020, and increased $2.0 million, or 3.9%, in 2020 compared to 2019.  The increases in 2021 and 2020 are primarily driven by the transition to cloud computing solutions and ongoing investments in digital channel and integrated platform solutions to support business growth and the continued modernization of core systems.  

Other noninterest expense decreased $9.2 million, or 21.3%, in 2021 compared to 2020 and increased $16.2 million, or 59.8%, in 2020 compared to 2019.  The decrease in 2021 is driven by lower operational losses, partially offset by higher charitable contributions expense.  The increase in 2020 is primarily driven by higher operational losses and derivative expense.   

Income Taxes

Income tax expense totaled $76.0 million, $52.4 million, and $42.4 million in 2021, 2020, and 2019 respectively. These amounts equate to effective tax rates of 17.7%, 15.5%, and 14.8% for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate from 2020 to 2021 is primarily attributable to a smaller portion of pre-tax income being earned from tax-exempt municipal securities and higher state and local income taxes.  The increase in the effective tax rate from 2019 to 2020 is primarily attributable to a smaller portion of pre-tax income being earned from tax-exempt municipal securities.   

For further information on income taxes refer to Note 16, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Segments

The Company has strategically aligned its operations into the following three reportable segments: Commercial Banking, Institutional Banking, and Personal Banking (collectively, the Business Segments). Senior executive officers regularly evaluate Business Segment financial results produced by the Company’s internal reporting system in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance for individual Business Segments.  Previously, the Company had the following four Business Segments:  Commercial Banking, Institutional Banking, Personal Banking, and Healthcare Services.  In the first quarter of 2020, the Company merged the Healthcare Services segment into the Institutional Banking segment to better reflect how the Company’s core businesses, products and services are currently being evaluated by management. The management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each Business Segment using methodologies that are refined on an ongoing basis. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at December 31, 2021.  Previously reported results have been reclassified in this Form 10-K to conform to the Company’s current organizational structure.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, Commercial Banking net income increased $43.8 million, or 19.0%, to $274.7 million compared to the same period in 2020.  Net interest income increased $81.2 million, or 17.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by strong loan growth, earning asset mix changes, and the Company’s participation in the PPP.  PPP loans averaged $802.4 million during 2021, and PPP income increased $12.4 million as compared to 2020.  Provision for credit losses decreased $103.9 million as compared to 2020.  The provision expense for 2020 was significantly impacted by the adoption of CECL,

37


 

coupled with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economic environment and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts.  The provision in 2021 represents substantial improvement in these forecasts.  Noninterest income decreased $107.7 million, or 56.8%, over the same period in 2020.  Investment securities gains, net decreased $117.0 million, primarily driven by the change in market valuation on the Company’s investment in TTCF. This decrease was partially offset by increases of $3.3 million in deposit service charges, $2.7 million in gains on sales of assets, and $2.5 million in bankcard fees. Noninterest expense increased $16.8 million, or 6.2%, as compared to the same period in 2020.  This increase was driven by an increase of $20.0 million in technology, service, and overhead expenses, $4.9 million in salaries and employee benefits expense, $1.8 million in marketing and business development expense, $1.6 million in processing fees, and $1.3 million in regulatory fees.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $12.9 million in operational losses as compared to 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, Institutional Banking net income decreased $6.5 million, or 10.4%, compared to the same period last year.  Net interest income decreased $19.2 million, or 18.0%, compared to the same period last year, due to a decrease in funds transfer pricing driven by lower interest rates.  Noninterest income increased $18.5 million, or 7.3%, primarily due to increases of $27.5 million in fund services income, $5.8 million in corporate trust income, both recorded in trust and securities processing revenue, $0.9 million in bankcard fees and $0.8 million in other income. The increases in fund services income and corporate trust income are related to increased assets administered as compared to the prior year.  These increases were partially offset by decreases of $12.0 million in brokerage fees and $4.7 million in bond trading income.  The decrease in brokerage fees is primarily due to lower 12b-1 and money market revenue and the decline in bond trading income is due to decreased trading volumes.  Noninterest expense increased $5.4 million, or 1.9%, primarily driven by increases of $4.7 million in technology, service, and overhead expenses and $4.5 million in processing fees.  These increases were partially offset by decreases of $2.8 million in salary and employee benefits expense, and $1.3 million in equipment expense.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, Personal Banking net income increased $29.3 million as compared to the same period last year.  Net interest income increased $22.3 million, or 14.9%, compared to the same period last year due to increased loan balances.  Provision for credit losses decreased $6.4 million.  The provision expense for 2020 was significantly impacted by the adoption of CECL, coupled with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on

38


 

the economic environment and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts.  The provision in 2021 represents substantial improvements in these forecasts.  Noninterest income decreased $3.9 million, or 3.3%, primarily driven by a decrease of $3.8 million in trust income and $1.3 million in equity earnings on alternative investments. Both decreases are related to the sale of PCM in the first quarter of 2021.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million in bankcard fees driven by higher interchange income. Noninterest expense decreased $10.6 million, or 4.0%, primarily due to decreases of $7.5 million in salary and employee benefits, $2.6 million in operational losses, and $2.2 million in legal and consulting expense.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $1.8 million in marketing and business development expense.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Loans and Loans Held For Sale

Loans represent the Company’s largest source of interest income.  Loan balances held for investment increased by $1.1 billion, or 6.6%, in 2021.  This increase was primarily driven by an increase of $374.5 million, or 19.3%, in consumer real estate loans, $358.6 million, or 6.1%, in commercial real estate loans, $196.0 million, or 2.8%, in commercial loans, and $91.4 million, or 47.9% in lease and other loans.  

                                                                                                                                                                

Commercial & industrial loans and commercial real estate loans continue to represent the largest segments of the Company’s loan portfolio, comprising approximately 42.3% and 36.5%, respectively, of total loans and loans held for sale at the end of 2021 and 43.8% and 36.7%, respectively, of total loans and loans held for sale at the end of 2020.  

Commercial loans represent the largest percent of total loans.  Commercial loans at December 31, 2021 have increased $196.0 million, or 2.8%, as compared to December 31, 2020, to 42.3% of total loans.  Commercial loans represented 43.8% of total loans at December 31, 2020.  The Company’s commercial loan balances have been impacted by the Company’s participation in the PPP.  PPP loans totaled $136.5 million and $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  

As a percentage of total loans, commercial real estate comprises 36.5% of total loans compared to 36.7% in 2020.  Commercial real estate loans increased $358.6 million, or 6.1%, compared to 2020.  Generally, these loans are made for investment and real estate development or working capital and business expansion purposes and are primarily secured by real estate with a maximum loan-to-value of 80%.  Most of these properties are non-owner occupied and have guarantees as additional security.

Consumer real estate loans increased $374.5 million, or 19.3%, and represented 13.5% of total loans. Specialty lending loans increased $11.1 million, or 2.2%, and represented 3.0% of total loans as of December 31, 2021.  

For further information on loan portfolio segments refer to Note 3, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans are discussed under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk – Credit Risk Management” in Item 7A of this report.

Investment Securities

The Company’s investment portfolio contains trading, available-for-sale (AFS), and held-to-maturity (HTM) securities as well as FRB stock, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, and other miscellaneous investments.  Investment securities totaled $13.8 billion as of December 31, 2021 and $10.6 billion as of December 31, 2020 and comprised 33.8% and 34.0% of the Company’s earning assets, respectively, as of those dates.  

The Company’s AFS securities portfolio comprised 86.7% of the Company’s investment securities portfolio at December 31, 2021, compared to 87.4% at December 31, 2020.  The Company’s AFS securities portfolio provides liquidity as a result of the composition and average life of the underlying securities.  This liquidity can be used to fund loan growth or to offset the outflow of traditional funding sources.  The average life of the AFS securities portfolio decreased from 70.1 months at December 31, 2020 to 67.6 months at December 31, 2021. In addition to providing a potential source of liquidity, the AFS securities portfolio can be used as a tool to manage interest rate

39


 

sensitivity.  The Company’s goal in the management of its AFS securities portfolio is to maximize return within the Company’s parameters of liquidity goals, interest rate risk and credit risk.  

Management expects collateral pledging requirements for public funds, loan demand, and deposit funding to be the primary factors impacting changes in the level of AFS securities.  There were $10.2 billion of AFS securities pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits, certain trust deposits, derivative transactions, and repurchase agreements at December 31, 2021.  Of this amount, securities with a market value of $171.2 million at December 31, 2021 were pledged at the Federal Reserve Discount Window but were unencumbered as of that date.

The Company’s HTM securities portfolio consists of private placement bonds, which are issued primarily to refinance existing revenue bonds in the healthcare and education sectors, and mortgage-backed securities.  The Company’s private placement bond portfolio totaled $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2021, an increase of $70.3 million, or 7.0%, from December 31, 2020.  The Company’s HTM mortgage-backed securities portfolio totaled $396.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The average life of the HTM portfolio was 5.2 years at December 31, 2021, compared to 6.1 years at December 31, 2020.

The securities portfolio generates the Company’s second largest component of interest income.  The AFS, HTM, and Other securities portfolios achieved an average yield on a tax-equivalent basis of 2.16% for 2021, compared to 2.45% in 2020.  Securities available for sale had a net unrealized gain of $153.9 million at year-end, compared to a net unrealized gain of $412.0 million the preceding year. This market value change primarily reflects the impact of a larger portfolio size, shorter average life, and declining mark interest rates as of December 31, 2021, compared to December 31, 2020.  These amounts are reflected, on an after-tax basis, in the Company’s Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity, as an unrealized gain of $118.5 million at year-end 2021, compared to an unrealized gain of $314.5 million for 2020. The AFS securities portfolio contains securities that have unrealized losses (see the table of these securities in Note 4, “Securities,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).  The unrealized losses in the Company’s investments were caused by changes in interest rates, and not from a decline in credit of the underlying issuers.  The U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and GSE mortgage-backed securities are all considered to be agency-backed securities with no risk of loss as they are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The changes in fair value in the agency-backed portfolios are solely driven by change in interest rates caused by changing economic conditions. The Company has no knowledge of any underlying credit issues and the cash flows underlying the debt securities have not changed and are not expected to be impacted by changes in interest rates.  As of December 31, 2021, the Company does not believe the decline in value in these portfolios is related to credit impairments and instead is due to declining interest rates.  The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and does not believe it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before a recovery of amortized cost.  As of December 31, 2021, there is no ACL related to the Company’s available-for-sale securities as the decline in fair value did not result from credit issues.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are generally traded on an exchange and market prices are readily available.  Equity securities with readily determinable fair values includes the Company’s investment in TTCF, which had a fair value of $12.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and $106.9 million as of December 31, 2020.  During 2021, the Company sold a portion of this investment with a value of $79.0 million. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are generally carried at cost less impairment.  Equity securities without readily determinable fair values also include PCM alternative investments in hedge funds and private equity funds, which are accounted for as equity-method investments.  During the first quarter of 2021, the Company sold its membership interest in PCM.  Unrealized gains or losses on equity securities with and without readily determinable fair values are recognized in the Investment Securities gains, net line of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.   

 

For further information on the Company’s investment securities, refer to Note 4, “Securities,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Earning Assets

Federal funds transactions essentially are overnight loans between financial institutions, which allow for either the daily investment of excess funds or the daily borrowing of another institution’s funds in order to meet short-term liquidity needs.  The net borrowed position was $12.6 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $65.6 million at December 31, 2020.  

The Bank buys and sells federal funds as agent for non-affiliated banks.  Because the transactions are pursuant to agency arrangements, these transactions do not appear on the balance sheet and averaged $394.7 million in 2021 and $362.5 million in 2020.

At December 31, 2021, the Company held securities purchased under agreements to resell of $1.2 billion compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2020.  The Company uses these instruments as short-term secured investments, in lieu of selling federal funds, or to acquire securities required for collateral purposes.  Balances will fluctuate based on the Company’s liquidity and investment decisions as well as the Company’s correspondent bank borrowing levels.  These investments averaged $1.2 billion in 2021 and $1.1 billion in 2020.

The Company also maintains an active securities trading inventory.  The average holdings in the securities trading inventory in 2021 were $23.5 million, compared to $37.1 million in 2020, and were recorded at fair market value.  As discussed in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk – Trading Account” in Part II, Item 7A, the Company offsets the trading account securities by the sale of exchange-traded financial futures contracts, with both the trading account and futures contracts marked to market daily.

Interest-bearing due from banks totaled $8.8 billion as of December 31, 2021 compared to $3.1 billion as of December 31, 2020 and includes amounts due from the FRB and interest-bearing accounts held at other financial institutions.  The amount due from the FRB averaged $4.0 billion and $1.2 billion during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The increase in the FRB balance from 2020 to 2021 is primarily due to an increase in deposit balances as a result of the Company’s participation in the PPP.  The interest-bearing accounts held at other financial institutions totaled $41.2 million and $43.1 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.    

Deposits and Borrowed Funds

Deposits represent the Company’s primary funding source for its asset base.  In addition to the core deposits garnered by the Company’s retail branch structure, the Company continues to focus on its cash management services, as well as its asset management and mutual fund servicing businesses in order to attract and retain additional core deposits.  Deposits totaled $35.6 billion at December 31, 2021 and $27.1 billion at December 31, 2020, an increase of $8.5 billion, or 31.6%. Deposits averaged $28.9 billion in 2021, and $23.2 billion in 2020.

Noninterest-bearing demand deposits averaged $11.3 billion in 2021 and $7.8 billion in 2020.  These deposits represented 38.9% of average deposits in 2021, compared to 33.8% in 2020.  The Company’s large commercial customer base provides a significant source of noninterest-bearing deposits.  Many of these commercial accounts do not earn interest; however, they receive an earnings credit to offset the cost of other services provided by the Company.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company places a significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which it believes promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities.  Higher levels of liquidity, however, bear corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields on short-term, more liquid earning assets, and higher expenses for extended liability maturities.  The Company manages capital for each subsidiary based upon the subsidiary’s respective risks and growth opportunities as well as regulatory requirements.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $128.5 million, or 4.3% to $3.1 billion at December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020.

The Board authorized, at its April 27, 2021, April 28, 2020, and April 23, 2019 meetings, the repurchase of up to two million shares of the Company’s common stock during the twelve months following each meeting (each a Repurchase Authorization).  During 2021 and 2020, the Company acquired 67,671 shares and 1,208,623 shares, respectively, of its common stock pursuant to the applicable Repurchase Authorization. During March 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML) to repurchase an aggregate of $30.0 million of the Company’s common stock through an accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR). Under the ASR, the Company repurchased a total of 653,498 shares, which was completed during the second quarter of 2020. The ASR was entered into pursuant to the April 23, 2019 Repurchase Authorization.  The Company has not made any repurchase of its securities other than pursuant to the Repurchase Authorizations.

Risk-based capital guidelines established by regulatory agencies set minimum capital standards based on the level of risk associated with a financial institution’s assets.  The Company has implemented the Basel III regulatory capital rules adopted by the FRB.  Basel III capital rules include a minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% and a minimum tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6%.  A financial institution’s total capital is also required to equal at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.  

The risk-based capital guidelines indicate the specific risk weightings by type of asset.  Certain off-balance sheet items (such as standby letters of credit and binding loan commitments) are multiplied by credit conversion factors to translate them into balance sheet equivalents before assigning them specific risk weightings.  The Company is also required to maintain a leverage ratio equal to or greater than 4%.  The leverage ratio is tier 1 core capital to total average assets less goodwill and intangibles.  The Company's capital position as of December 31, 2021 is summarized in the table below and exceeded regulatory requirements.

Repurchase agreements are transactions involving the exchange of investment funds by the customer for securities by the Company, under an agreement to repurchase the same issues at an agreed-upon price and date.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased totaled $3.2 billion at December 31, 2021, and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2020. Repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased averaged $2.6 billion in 2021 and $2.0 billion in 2020.  The Company enters into these transactions with its downstream correspondent banks, commercial customers, and various trust, mutual fund, and local government relationships.

The Company is a member bank with the FHLB of Des Moines, and through this relationship, the Company owns $10.0 million of FHLB stock and has access to additional liquidity and funding sources through FHLB advances.  The Company’s borrowing capacity is dependent upon the amount of collateral the Company places at the FHLB.  Based on the collateral pledged, the Company had $1.6 billion of borrowing capacity at the FHLB at December 31, 2021.  The Company had no outstanding advances at FHLB Des Moines as of December 31, 2021.  

To enhance general working capital needs, the Company has a revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which allows the Company to borrow up to $30.0 million for general working capital purposes. The interest rate applied to borrowed balances will be at the Company’s option, either 1.25% above LIBOR or 1.75% below the prime rate on the date of an advance. The Company pays a 0.4% unused commitment fee for unused portions of the line of credit. The Company had no advances outstanding at December 31, 2021.

 

Long-term debt totaled $271.5 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $269.6 million at December 31, 2020.  In September 2020, the Company issued $200.0 million in aggregate subordinated notes due in September 2030.  The Company received $197.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, and used the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including, among other uses, contributing Tier 1 capital into the Bank. The subordinated notes were issued with a fixed-to-fixed rate of 3.70% and an effective rate of 3.93%, due to issuance costs, with an interest rate reset date of September 2025.  The remainder of the Company’s long-term debt was assumed from the acquisition of Marquette and consists of debt obligations payable to four unconsolidated trusts (Marquette Capital Trust I, Marquette Capital Trust II, Marquette Capital Trust III, and Marquette Capital Trust IV) that previously issued trust preferred securities.  These long-term debt obligations had an aggregate contractual balance of $103.1 million and had a carrying value of $73.2 million at December 31, 2021 and $71.7 million at December 31, 2020.  Interest rates on trust preferred securities are tied to the three-month LIBOR with spreads ranging from 133 basis points to 160 basis points and reset quarterly. The trust preferred securities have maturity dates ranging from January 2036 to September 2036.  For further information on long-term debt refer to Note 9, “Borrowed Funds,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has material off-balance sheet arrangements in the form of loan commitments, commercial and standby letters of credit, futures contracts and forward exchange contracts, which have maturity dates rather than payment due dates.  These commitments and contingent liabilities are not required to be recorded on the Company’s balance sheet.  Since commitments associated with letters of credit and lending and financing arrangements may expire unused, the amounts shown do not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.  See Table 17 below, as well as Note 15, “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 for detailed information and further discussion of these arrangements.  Management does not anticipate any material losses from its off-balance sheet arrangements.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s total liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits were $8.8 million.  The Company cannot reasonably estimate the settlement of these liabilities.  Therefore, these liabilities have been excluded from the table above.  See Note 16, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits.

For further discussion of capital and liquidity, see the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Liquidity Risk” in Item 7A of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).  The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customers and suppliers, allowance for credit losses, bad debts, investments, financing operations, long-lived assets, taxes, other contingencies and litigation.  Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which have formed the basis for making such judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Under different assumptions or conditions, actual results may differ from the recorded estimates.

Management believes that the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are those relating to the allowance for credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company’s ACL represents management’s judgment of the total expected losses included in the Company’s assets held at amortized cost. The Company’s process for recording the ACL is based on the evaluation of the Company’s lifetime historical loss experience, management’s understanding of the credit quality inherent in the loan portfolio, and the impact of the current economic environment, coupled with reasonable and supportable economic forecasts.

 

A mathematical calculation of an estimate is made to assist in determining the adequacy and reasonableness of management’s recorded ACL.  To develop the estimate, the Company follows the guidelines in ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.  The estimate reserves for assets held at amortized cost, which include the Company’s loan and held-to-maturity security portfolios.  

 

The estimation process involves the consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the specific segmentation of loans.  These factors have been established over decades of financial institution experience and include economic observation and loan loss characteristics.  This process is designed to produce a lifetime estimate of the losses, at a reporting date, that is based on evaluation of historical loss experience, current economic

47


 

conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the qualitative framework outlined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in the published 2020 Interagency Policy Statement.  This process allows management to take a holistic view of the recorded ACL reserve and ensure that all significant and pertinent information is considered in its estimate.

 

The Company considers a variety of factors to ensure the safety and soundness of its estimate including a strong internal control framework, extensive methodology documentation, credit underwriting standards which encompass the Company’s desired risk profile, model validation, and ratio analysis.  If the Company’s total ACL estimate, as determined in accordance with the approved ACL methodology, is either outside a reasonable range based on review of economic indicators or by comparison of historical ratio analysis, the ACL estimate is an outlier and management will investigate the underlying reason(s).  Based on that investigation, issues or factors that previously had not been considered may be identified in the estimation process, which may warrant adjustments to estimated credit losses.

The ending result of this process is a recorded consolidated ACL that represents management’s best estimate of the total expected losses included in the loan and held-to-maturity security portfolios considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing exposure to credit loss over the contractual term of the instrument.  While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the ACL is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control, including the performance of its portfolios, the economy, and changes in interest rates. As such, significant downturns in circumstances relating to loan quality and economic conditions could result in a requirement for additional allowance.  Likewise, an upturn in loan quality and improved economic conditions may allow a reduction in the required allowance. In either instance, unanticipated changes could have a significant impact on the Company’s Provision for credit losses and ACL reported in its Consolidated Income Statements and Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

For more information on loan portfolio segments, the Company’s ACL methodology, and management’s assumptions in estimating the ACL, refer to the section captioned “Allowance for Credit Losses” within Note 3, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management

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

The Company is subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates of its assets held for purposes other than trading.  The following discussion of interest rate risk, however, combines instruments held for trading and instruments held for purposes other than trading because the instruments held for trading represent such a small portion of the Company’s portfolio that the interest rate risk associated with them is immaterial.

Interest Rate Risk

In the banking industry, a major risk exposure is changing interest rates.  To minimize the effect of interest rate changes to net interest income and exposure levels to economic losses, the Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through asset and liability management within guidelines established by its Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) and approved by the Board.  The ALCO is responsible for approving and ensuring compliance with asset/liability management policies, including interest rate exposure.  The Company’s primary method for measuring and analyzing consolidated interest rate risk is the Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis.  The Company also uses a Net Portfolio Value model to measure market value risk under various rate change scenarios and a gap analysis to measure maturity and repricing relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at specific points in time.  On a limited basis, the Company uses hedges such as swaps, rate floors, and futures contracts to manage interest rate risk on certain loans, trading securities, trust preferred securities, and deposits.  See further information in Note 17 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

48


 

Overall, the Company attempts to manage interest rate risk by positioning the balance sheet to maximize net interest income while maintaining an acceptable level of interest rate and credit risk, remaining mindful of the relationship among profitability, liquidity, interest rate risk and credit risk.

Net Interest Income Modeling

The Company’s primary interest rate risk tool, the Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis, measures interest rate risk and the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income and net interest margin.  This analysis incorporates all of the Company’s assets and liabilities together with assumptions that reflect the current interest rate environment.  Through these simulations, management estimates the impact on net interest income of a 300 basis point upward or a 100 basis point downward gradual change (e.g. ramp) and immediate change (e.g. shock) of market interest rates over a two year period.  In ramp scenarios, rates change gradually for a one year period and remain constant in year two.  In shock scenarios, rates change immediately and the change is sustained for the remainder of the two year scenario horizon.  Assumptions are made to project rates for new loans and deposits based on historical analysis, management outlook and repricing strategies.  Asset prepayments and other market risks are developed from industry estimates of prepayment speeds and other market changes.  The results of these simulations can be significantly influenced by assumptions utilized and management evaluates the sensitivity of the simulation results on a regular basis.    

Table 18 shows the net interest income percentage increase or decrease over the next twelve- and twenty-four-month periods as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 based on hypothetical changes in interest rates and a constant sized balance sheet with runoff being replaced.

The Company is positioned slightly asset sensitive to changes in interest rates in the next year.  Net interest income is predicted to increase in all upward rate ramp and shock scenarios.  In down rate scenarios, income is predicted to decrease in all scenarios. The increase in net interest income in rising rate scenarios is due to the projections of yields on earning assets increasing more than the cost of paying liabilities.  In year two, net interest income is predicted to rise in all increasing rate scenarios and decrease in falling rate scenarios. The Company’s ability to price deposits in a rising rate environment consistent with its history is a key assumption in these scenarios. 

49


 

Repricing Mismatch Analysis

The Company also evaluates its interest rate sensitivity position in an attempt to maintain a balance between the amount of interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities which are expected to mature or reprice at any point in time.  While a traditional repricing mismatch analysis (gap analysis) provides a snapshot of interest rate risk, it does not take into consideration that assets and liabilities with similar repricing characteristics may not, in fact, reprice at the same time or the same degree.  Also, it does not necessarily predict the impact of changes in general levels of interest rates on net interest income.

Table 19 is a static gap analysis, which presents the Company’s assets and liabilities, based on their repricing or maturity characteristics and reflecting principal amortization.  Table 20 presents the break-out of fixed and variable rate loans by repricing or maturity characteristics for each loan class.

Trading Account

The Bank carries taxable governmental securities in a trading account that is maintained in accordance with Board-approved policy and procedures.  The policy limits the amount and type of securities that can be carried in the trading account and requires compliance with any limits under applicable law and regulations and mandates the use of a value-at-risk methodology to manage price volatility risks within financial parameters.  The risk associated with the carrying of trading securities is offset by the sale of exchange-traded financial futures contracts, with both the trading account and futures contracts marked to market daily.  This account had a balance of $31.9 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to $35.0 million as of December 31, 2020.

The Company is subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates of its assets held for purposes other than trading.  The discussion in Table 19 above of interest rate risk, however, combines instruments held for trading and instruments held for purposes other than trading, because the instruments held for trading represent such a small portion of the Company’s portfolio that the interest rate risk associated with them is immaterial.

Other Market Risk

The Company has minimal foreign currency risk as a result of foreign exchange contracts.  See Note 10, “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk represents the risk that a customer or counterparty may not perform in accordance with contractual terms.  The Company utilizes a centralized credit administration function, which provides information on the Bank’s risk levels, delinquencies, an internal risk grading system and overall credit exposure.  Loan requests are centrally

51


 

reviewed to ensure the consistent application of the loan policy and standards.  In addition, the Company has an internal loan review staff that operates independently of the Bank.  This review team performs periodic examinations of the Bank’s loans for credit quality, documentation and loan administration.  The respective regulatory authority of the Bank also reviews loan portfolios.

A primary indicator of credit quality and risk management is the level of nonperforming loans.  Nonperforming loans include both nonaccrual loans and restructured loans on nonaccrual.  The Company’s nonperforming loans increased $4.5 million to $92.3 million at December 31, 2021, compared to December 31, 2020.  There was an immaterial amount of interest recognized on nonperforming loans during 2021, 2020, and 2019.

The Company had $4.7 million of other real estate owned as of December 31, 2020.  Loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest totaled $2.6 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to $2.0 million as of December 31, 2020.

A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when payments are past due 90 days or more and/or when management has considerable doubt about the borrower’s ability to repay on the terms originally contracted.  The accrual of interest is discontinued and recorded thereafter only when actually received in cash.

Certain loans are restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal due to deterioration in the financial condition of the respective borrowers.  The Company had $7.3 million of restructured loans at December 31, 2021 and $10.8 million at December 31, 2020.  Those loans modified as part of the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic are not considered to be restructured loans and are discussed further below

Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $44.9 million, compared to $20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in net charge-offs during 2021 is primarily due to one credit in the specialty lending portfolio which had a charge-off of $31.9 million during the second quarter of 2021.

 

COVID-19 Loan Modifications

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken two primary approaches in assisting its customers by modifying terms of existing loans and loans under the PPP.  The Company has taken a proactive approach to assisting its borrowers through individual evaluation and broad-based programs.  Modifications granted to borrowers have been payment deferrals taking the form of either full payment deferral or interest-only payments.  Based on the circumstances of the borrower, payments have been deferred either 90 days, with the option to extend, or 180 days.  Consistent with the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus, modifications granted to borrowers that are related to COVID-19 are not required to be evaluated as TDRs under ASC 310-40. These modified loans are classified as performing and are not considered past due.  Loans are to be placed on nonaccrual when it becomes apparent that payment of interest or recovery of all principal is questionable, and the COVID-19 related modification is no longer considered short-term or the modification is deemed ineffective.  As of December 31, 2021, there were no modified loans on nonaccrual, compared to three modified loans on nonaccrual, totaling $269 thousand as of December 31, 2020.  Any loans modified are segmented separately with specific prepayment and maturity assumptions within the Company’s ACL.  As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 11 COVID-19 related modifications remaining on loans with a total balance of $38 thousand, compared to 136 loans with a total balance of $67.6 million as of December 31, 2020.  Within the Company’s non-credit card loan portfolios, over 1,400 loan modifications were made since the COVID-19 pandemic began.  Of these loan modifications, 100.0% of loans have resumed making principal or interest payments as of December 31, 2021.  There have been no charge-offs on modified loans.  See further discussion of the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet financial commitments through the maturity and sale of existing assets or availability of additional funds.  The Company believes that the most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and wholesale funds.  Ultimately, the Company believes public confidence is generated through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position.  The primary source of liquidity for the Company is regularly scheduled payments on and maturity of assets, which include $12.0 billion of high-quality securities available for sale.  The liquidity of the Company and the Bank is also enhanced by its activity in the

53


 

federal funds market and by its core deposits.  Additionally, management believes it can raise debt or equity capital on favorable terms in the future, should the need arise.

Another factor affecting liquidity is the amount of deposits and customer repurchase agreements that have pledging requirements.  All customer repurchase agreements require collateral in the form of a security.  The U.S. Government, other public entities, and certain trust depositors require the Company to pledge securities if their deposit balances are greater than the FDIC-insured deposit limitations.  These pledging requirements affect liquidity risk in that the related security cannot otherwise be disposed due to the pledging restriction.  At December 31, 2021, $10.2 billion, or 85.1%, of the securities available-for-sale were pledged or used as collateral, compared to $7.8 billion, or 84.1%, at December 31, 2020.  Of these amounts, securities with a market value of $171.2 million at December 31, 2021 and $371.5 million at December 31, 2020, were pledged at the Federal Reserve Discount Window but were unencumbered as of those dates.

The Company also has other commercial commitments that may impact liquidity.  These commitments include unused commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, and commercial letters of credit.  The total amount of these commercial commitments at December 31, 2021 was $14.2 billion.  Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total amount of these commercial commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.

The Company’s cash requirements consist primarily of dividends to shareholders, debt service, operating expenses, and treasury stock purchases.  Management fees and dividends received from bank and non-bank subsidiaries traditionally have been sufficient to satisfy these requirements and are expected to be sufficient in the future.  The Bank is subject to various rules regarding payment of dividends to the Company.  For the most part, the Bank can pay dividends at least equal to its current year’s earnings without seeking prior regulatory approval.  The Company also uses cash to inject capital into the Bank and its non-Bank subsidiaries to maintain adequate capital as well as to fund strategic initiatives.  

In September 2020, the Company issued $200.0 million in aggregate subordinated notes due in September 2030.  The Company received $197.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, and used the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including, among other uses, contributing Tier 1 capital into the Bank.  The subordinated notes were issued with a fixed-to-fixed rate of 3.70% and an effective rate of 3.93%, due to issuance costs, with an interest rate reset date of September 2025.  

To enhance general working capital needs, the Company has a revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which allows the Company to borrow up to $30.0 million for general working capital purposes.  The interest rate applied to borrowed balances will be at the Company’s option, either 1.25% above LIBOR or 1.75% below the prime rate on the date of an advance.  The Company pays a 0.4% unused commitment fee for unused portions of the line of credit.  The Company had no advances outstanding at December 31, 2021.

The Company is a member bank of the FHLB.  The Company owns $10.0 million of FHLB stock and has access to additional liquidity and funding sources through FHLB advances.  The Company has access to borrow up to $1.6 billion through advances at the FHLB of Des Moines but had no outstanding FHLB Des Moines advances as of December 31, 2021.  

Operational Risk

Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from the Company’s operations, including those operations performed for the Company by third parties.  This would include but is not limited to the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside the Company, the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees or others, errors relating to transaction processing, breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements, and unplanned interruptions in service.  This risk of loss also includes the potential legal or regulatory actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency, or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards.

The Company operates in many markets and relies on the ability of its employees and systems to properly process a high number of transactions.  In the event of a breakdown in internal control systems, improper operation of systems or improper employee actions, the Company could suffer financial loss, face regulatory action and suffer damage to its reputation.  In order to address this risk, management maintains a system of internal controls with the objective of providing proper transaction authorization and execution, safeguarding of assets from misuse or theft, and ensuring the reliability of financial and other data.

54


 

The Company maintains systems of internal controls that provide management with timely and accurate information about the Company’s operations.  These systems have been designed to manage operational risk at appropriate levels given the Company’s financial strength, the environment in which it operates, and considering factors such as competition and regulation.  The Company has also established procedures that are designed to ensure that policies relating to conduct, ethics and business practices are followed on a uniform basis.  In certain cases, the Company has experienced losses from operational risk.  Such losses have included the effects of operational errors that the Company has discovered and included as expense in the statement of income.  While there can be no assurance that the Company will not suffer such losses in the future, management continually monitors and works to improve its internal controls, systems and corporate-wide processes and procedures.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

UMB Financial Corporation:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UMB Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 24, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Notes 1, 2, and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for the recognition and measurement of credit losses as of January 1, 2020 due to the adoption of ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Allowance for credit losses on certain loans evaluated on a collective basis

As discussed in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s total allowance for credit losses on loans was $194.8 million as of December 31, 2021, a substantial portion of which related to the allowance for credit losses on loans evaluated on a collective basis for the commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and consumer credit card loan segments (the collective ACL). The collective ACL includes the measure of expected credit losses on a pool basis for loans where similar risk characteristics exist and is determined using relevant available information from internal and external sources related to historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts.  The Company

56


 

uses probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) models for the commercial and industrial segment, commercial real estate segment, and revolver activity within the consumer credit card segment. For the commercial and industrial segment and revolver portion of the consumer credit card segment, the collective ACL is calculated by modeling PD over future periods multiplied by historical LGD multiplied by contractual exposure at default minus any modeled prepayments and charge offs.  For the commercial real estate segment, the collective ACL is calculated by modeling PD over future periods based on peer bank data. The PD loss rate is then multiplied by historical LGD multiplied by contractual exposure at default minus any modeled prepayments and charge offs.  Primary risk drivers are segment specific and include macro-economic variables, risk ratings of the individual loans within the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loan segments, and credit score ratings of individual card holders within the consumer credit card segment.  After the reasonable and supportable forecast periods, the Company reverts to historical loss experience for each portfolio using a cliff or straight-line reversion method.  A portion of the collective ACL is comprised of qualitative factors which represent adjustments to historical loss experience including concentrations of credit and results of internal loan review.

We identified the assessment of the collective ACL as a critical audit matter. A high degree of audit effort, including specialized skills and knowledge, and subjective and complex auditor judgment was involved in the assessment of the collective ACL. Specifically, the assessment encompassed the evaluation of the collective ACL methodology, including the methods and models used to estimate (1) the PD and LGD and historical loss rates and their significant assumptions, including recovery rates, portfolio segmentation, average prepayment rates, the economic forecast scenario, macro-economic variables, the reasonable and supportable forecast periods, lengths of time and methods of reversion, risk ratings on commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans, and credit score ratings and the estimated life of the credit card receivables on consumer credit card loans, and (2) the qualitative factors and their significant assumptions, including concentrations of credit and results of internal loan review. The assessment also included an evaluation of the conceptual soundness and performance of the PD and LGD and historical loss rate models. In addition, auditor judgment was required to evaluate the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained.  

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the measurement of the collective ACL, including controls related to the:

development and approval of the collective ACL methodology

development of the PD and LGD and historical loss rate models

 

determination and measurement of the significant assumptions used in the PD and LGD and historical loss rate models

development of the qualitative factors, including concentrations of credit and results of internal loan review

analysis of the overall ACL results, trends, and ratios.

We evaluated the Company’s process to develop the collective ACL estimate by testing certain sources of data, factors, and assumptions that the Company used, and considered the relevance and reliability of such data, factors, and assumptions. In addition, we involved credit risk professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:

 

evaluating the Company’s collective ACL methodology for compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles

 

evaluating judgments made by the Company relative to the development and performance monitoring of the PD and LGD and historical loss rate models by comparing them to relevant Company specific metrics and trends and the applicable industry and regulatory practices

 

assessing the conceptual soundness and performance testing of the PD and LGD and historical loss rate models by inspecting the model documentation to determine whether the models are suitable for their intended use

 

evaluating the methodology used to develop the economic forecast scenario and underlying assumptions by comparing it to the Company’s business environment and relevant industry practices

 

testing the complete historical credit cycle period and evaluating the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast period by comparing to specific portfolio risk characteristics and trends

57


 

 

determining whether the loan portfolio is segmented by similar risk characteristics by comparing to the Company’s business environment and relevant industry practices

 

testing individual risk ratings for a selection of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans by evaluating the financial performance of the borrower, sources of repayment, and any relevant guarantees or underlying collateral

 

evaluating the methodology used to develop the qualitative factors and the effect of those factors on the collective ACL compared with relevant credit risk factors and consistency with credit trends and identified limitations of the underlying quantitative models.

We also assessed the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained related to the collective ACL by evaluating the:

cumulative results of the audit procedures

qualitative aspects of the Company’s accounting practices

potential bias in the accounting estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

UMB Financial Corporation is a bank holding company, which offers a wide range of banking and other financial services to its customers through its branches and offices in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, Nebraska, Iowa, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Indiana, Utah, Minnesota, California, and Wisconsin. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements.  These estimates and assumptions also impact reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies to assist the reader in understanding the financial presentation.

Consolidation

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements (references hereinafter to the Company in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements include wholly owned subsidiaries).  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

Interest on loans and securities is recognized based on rate times the principal amount outstanding.  This includes the impact of amortization of premiums and discounts.  Interest accrual is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, the likelihood of collection becomes doubtful.  Other noninterest income is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include Cash and due from banks and amounts due from the FRB.  Cash on hand, cash items in the process of collection, and amounts due from correspondent banks are included in Cash and due from banks.  Amounts due from the FRB are interest-bearing for all periods presented and are included in the Interest-bearing due from banks line on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

This table provides a summary of cash and cash equivalents as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Also included in the Interest-bearing due from banks line, but not considered cash and cash equivalents are interest-bearing accounts held at other financial institutions, which totaled $41.2 million and $43.1 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Loans and Loans Held for Sale

As further discussed below, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” on January 1, 2020.  The revised accounting policies are described below.

Loans are classified by the portfolio segments of commercial and industrial, specialty lending, commercial real estate, consumer real estate, consumer, credit cards, and leases and other.  

A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when management believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan.  If a loan is collateral dependent, the Company records a valuation allowance equal to the carrying amount of the loan in excess of the

65


 

present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate, based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral.  

A loan is accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring when a concession had been granted to a debtor experiencing financial difficulties.  The Company’s modifications generally include interest rate adjustments, and amortization and maturity date extensions.  These modifications allow the debtor short-term cash relief to allow them to improve their financial condition.  Restructured loans are considered to be collateral dependent and are individually evaluated for credit loss as part of the allowance for credit loss analysis.

Loans, including those that are considered to be collateral dependent or a troubled debt restructuring, are evaluated regularly by management.  Loans are considered delinquent when payment has not been received within 30 days of its contractual due date.  Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of interest or principal is 90 days or more past due unless the loan is adequately secured and in the process of collection.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current income. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.  Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to principal unless the remaining principal balance has been determined to be fully collectible.  

The adequacy of the ACL on loans is based on management’s judgment and continuous evaluation of the pertinent factors underlying the credit quality inherent in the loan portfolio. Consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to each specific segmentation of loans includes lifetime historical loss experience, the impact of the current economic environment, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and detailed analysis of loans determined to be collateral dependent.  The actual losses incurred over the lifetime of the portfolio, notwithstanding such considerations, however, could differ from the amounts estimated by management.

The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures, to address the credit risk to which the Company is exposed via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancelable by the Company. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposure is included in the Accrued expenses and taxes line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  In order to maintain the allowance for off-balance sheet items at an appropriate level, a provision to increase or reduce the allowance is included in the Provision for credit losses line item in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.  The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposure is calculated by applying portfolio segment expected credit loss rates to the expected amount to be funded.

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. Loan fees (net of certain direct loan origination costs) on loans held for sale are deferred until the related loans are sold or repaid. Gains or losses on loan sales are recognized at the time of sale and determined using the specific identification method.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, loans were classified by the portfolio segments of commercial, real estate, consumer, and leases.  The portfolio segments were further disaggregated into loan classes of commercial, asset-based, factoring, commercial credit card, real estate – construction, real estate – commercial, real estate – residential, real estate – HELOC, consumer – credit card, consumer – other, and leases.  A loan was considered to be impaired when management believed it was probable that it would be unable to collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan.  Additionally, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses was based on management’s evaluation of the inherent losses that had been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans.  Further, a reserve to address the risk of loss associated with loan contingencies was separately maintained.  This reserve was assessed by dividing the contingencies into pools of similar loan commitments and applying to factors to each pool.  The gross amount of contingent exposure was first multiplied by a potential factor to estimate the degree to which the unused commitments might reasonably be expected to be used in a time of high usage.  The resultant figure was then multiplied by a factor to estimate the risk of loss assuming funding of these loans.  The potential loss estimates for each segment of the portfolio were added to arrive at a total potential loss estimate that was used to set the reserve.

Securities

Debt securities available for sale principally include U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, GSE mortgage-backed securities, certain securities of state and political subdivisions, corporates, and collateralized loan obligations.  Debt securities classified as available for sale are measured at fair value.  Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) until realized.  

66


 

Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized historical cost, net of the allowance for credit losses, based on management’s intention, and the Company’s ability to hold them to maturity.  The Company classifies certain mortgage-backed securities and securities of state and political subdivisions as held to maturity.  

Trading securities, acquired for subsequent sale to customers, are carried at fair value.  Market adjustments, fees and gains or losses on the sale of trading securities are considered to be a normal part of operations and are included in trading and investment banking income.  

Equity-method investments

The Company accounts for certain other investments using equity-method accounting.  For equity securities without readily determinable fair values, the Company’s proportionate share of the income or loss is recognized on a one-quarter lag.  When transparency in pricing exists, other investments are considered equity securities with readily determinable fair values.  

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.  To test goodwill for impairment, the Company performs a qualitative assessment of each reporting unit.  If the Company determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not greater than the carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is not required.  Otherwise, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts to determine if an impairment exists and the amount of impairment loss.  An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill over its fair value.  

No goodwill impairments were recognized in 2021, 2020, or 2019.  Other intangible assets, which relate to core deposits, non-compete agreements, and customer relationships, are amortized over their useful life. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances dictate.   No intangible asset impairments were recognized in 2021, 2020, or 2019.  The Company does not have any indefinite lived intangible assets.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed primarily on the straight-line method.  Premises are depreciated over 15 to 40 year lives, while equipment is depreciated over lives of 3 to 20 years.  Gains and losses from the sale of Premises and equipment are included in Other noninterest income and Other noninterest expense, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including Premises and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable.  The impairment review includes a comparison of future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets to their current carrying value.  If the carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds expected cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds fair value.  No impairments were recognized in 2021, 2020, or 2019.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  The provision for deferred income taxes represents the change in the deferred income tax accounts during the year excluding the tax effect of the change in net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale and certain derivative items.

67


 

The Company records deferred tax assets to the extent these assets will more likely than not be realized. All available evidence is considered in making such determination, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is recorded for the portion of deferred tax assets that are not more-likely-than-not to be realized, and any changes to the valuation allowance are recorded in income tax expense.

The Company records the financial statement effects of an income tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that it will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured and recorded as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Previously recognized tax positions are derecognized in the first period in which it is no longer more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained. The benefit associated with previously unrecognized tax positions are generally recognized in the first period in which the more-likely-than-not threshold is met at the reporting date, the tax matter is ultimately settled through negotiation or litigation, or when the related statute of limitations for the relevant taxing authority to examine and challenge the tax position has expired. The recognition, derecognition and measurement of tax positions are based on management’s best judgment given the facts, circumstance and information available at the reporting date.  

The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other noninterest expense.  Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related liability lines in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has recognized an immaterial amount in interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits.

Derivatives

The Company records all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Currently, 12 of the Company’s derivatives are designated in qualifying hedging relationships.  The remainder of the Company’s derivatives are not designated in qualifying hedging relationships, as the derivatives are not used to manage risks within the Company’s assets or liabilities. All changes in fair value of the Company’s non-designated derivatives and fair value hedges are recognized directly in earnings.  Changes in fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedges are recognized in AOCI and are reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.  

Per Share Data

Basic income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  Diluted year-to-date income per share includes the dilutive effect of 466,830, 205,959, and 310,614 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, nonvested restricted shares, and nonvested restricted stock units, granted by the Company that were outstanding at December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Certain options, restricted stock and restricted stock units issued under employee benefit plans were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.  For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units excluded from the computation of diluted income per share.  Outstanding options, restricted stock and restricted stock units of 198,671, and 114,130 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant.  For stock options, restricted stock, and service-based restricted stock unit awards, the grant date fair value is estimated using either an option-pricing model which is consistent with the terms of the award or an observed market price, if such a price exists.  For performance-based restricted stock unit awards, the grant date fair value is based on the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date less the present value of expected dividends not received during the vesting period.  Such cost is generally recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in

68


 

exchange for the award and, in some cases, when performance metrics are met. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based compensation on an actual basis as they occur.  

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” – ASC Topic 842. In January, July, and December 2018 and March 2019, the FASB issued implementation amendments to the February 2016 ASU (collectively, the amended guidance).  The amended guidance changed the accounting treatment of leases, in that lessees recognize most leases on-balance sheet.  This increased reported assets and liabilities, as lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset along with a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis. The amended guidance allows an entity to choose either the effective date, or the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, as its date of initial application.  The Company adopted the amended guidance on January 1, 2019, using the effective date as the date of initial application.  Adoption of the amended guidance resulted in the recording of a right-of-use asset of $58.2 million and a lease liability of $63.0 million to its Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2019.  The most significant effects of the adoption of the amended guidance are additional financial statement disclosures.  See Note 8, “Premises, Equipment, and Leases” for related disclosures.

Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.”  In April and November 2019, the FASB issued implementation amendments to the June 2016 ASU (collectively, the amended guidance).  The amended guidance replaced the current incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses with a current expected credit loss model, which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  The amended guidance broadened the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimates.  Additionally, the updates amended the accounting for credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination.  The amended guidance required enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of a company’s loan portfolio.  The Company adopted the amended guidance on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach for adoption.  Results for the reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019 are presented under ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, while prior period amounts continue to be presented in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.  Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets of $9.0 million as an increase to the allowance for credit losses and $7.0 million as a reduction to retained earnings, net of deferred tax balances.  See Note 3, “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” for related disclosures.

3. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company adopted the CECL methodology for measuring credit losses as of January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach for adoption.  All disclosures as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are presented in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, while prior period amounts continue to be presented in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

Loan Origination/Risk Management

The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to minimize the level of risk within the loan portfolio.  Diversification of the loan portfolio manages the risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.  Authority levels are established for the extension of credit to ensure consistency throughout the Company.  It is necessary that policies, processes, and practices implemented to control the risks of individual credit transactions and portfolio segments are sound and adhered to.  The Company maintains an independent loan review department that reviews and validates the risk assessment on a continual basis.  Management regularly evaluates the results of the loan reviews.  The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.

Commercial and industrial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business.  Commercial loans are made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower.  The cash flows of the borrower, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value.  Most commercial

69


 

loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee.  In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts from its customers.  

Specialty lending loans include Asset-based and Factoring loans. Asset-based loans are offered primarily in the form of revolving lines of credit to commercial borrowers that do not generally qualify for traditional bank financing.  Asset-based loans are underwritten based primarily upon the value of the collateral pledged to secure the loan, rather than on the borrower’s general financial condition.  The Company utilizes pre-loan due diligence techniques, monitoring disciplines, and loan management practices common within the asset-based lending industry to underwrite loans to these borrowers.  Factoring loans provide working capital through the purchase and/or financing of accounts receivable to borrowers in the transportation industry and to commercial borrowers that do not generally qualify for traditional bank financing.  

Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans.  These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate.  Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan.  The Company requires that an appraisal of the collateral be made at origination and on an as-needed basis, in conformity with current market conditions and regulatory requirements.  The underwriting standards address both owner and non-owner-occupied real estate.  Also included in Commercial real estate are Construction loans that are underwritten using feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis or absorption and lease rates, and financial analysis of the developers and property owners.  Construction loans are based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project.  Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project.  Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained.  These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, economic conditions, and the availability of long-term financing.

Consumer real estate loans, including residential real estate and home equity loans, are underwritten based on the borrower’s loan-to-value percentage, collection remedies, and overall credit history.  

Consumer loans are underwritten based on the borrower’s repayment ability.  The Company monitors delinquencies on all of its consumer loans and leases.  The underwriting and review practices combined with the relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk.  Consumer loans and leases that are 90 days past due or more are considered non-performing.

Credit cards include both commercial and consumer credit cards.  Commercial credit cards are generally unsecured and are underwritten with criteria similar to commercial loans, including an analysis of the borrower’s cash flow, available business capital, and overall creditworthiness of the borrower.  Consumer credit cards are underwritten based on the borrower’s repayment ability.  The Company monitors delinquencies on all of its consumer credit cards and periodically reviews the distribution of FICO scores relative to historical periods to monitor credit risk on its consumer credit card loans.  

Credit risk is a potential loss resulting from nonpayment of either the primary or secondary exposure.  Credit risk is mitigated with formal risk management practices and a thorough initial credit-granting process including consistent underwriting standards and approval process.  Control factors or techniques to minimize credit risk include knowing the client, understanding total exposure, analyzing the client and debtor’s financial capacity, and monitoring the client’s activities.  Credit risk and portions of the portfolio risk are managed through concentration considerations, average risk ratings, and other aggregate characteristics.

The Company has ceased the recognition of interest on loans with a carrying value of $92.3 million and $87.8 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  Restructured loans totaled $7.3 million and $10.8 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  Loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest amounted to $2.6 million and $2.0 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Accrued interest on loans totaled $45.2 million and $58.8 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in the Accrued income line on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The total amount of accrued interest is excluded from the amortized cost basis of loans presented above.  Further, the Company has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable.

   

Credit Quality Indicators

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to the risk grading of specified classes of loans, net charge-offs, non-performing loans, and general economic conditions.

74


 

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a rating to each of its commercial, commercial real estate, and construction real estate loans. Changes in credit risk are monitored on a continuous basis and changes in risk ratings are made when identified.  The loan ratings are summarized into the following categories:  Non-watch list, Watch, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful.  Any loan not classified in one of the categories described below is considered to be a Non-watch list loan.  A description of the general characteristics of the loan rating categories is as follows:

 

Watch – This rating represents credit exposure that presents higher than average risk and warrants greater than routine attention by Company personnel due to conditions affecting the borrower, the borrower’s industry, or the economic environment.  These conditions have resulted in some degree of uncertainty that results in higher than average credit risk.  These loans are considered pass-rated credits.

 

Special Mention – This rating reflects a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the borrower’s credit position at some future date.  The rating is not adversely classified and does not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

 

Substandard – This rating represents an asset inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  Loans in this category are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified as substandard.

 

Doubtful – This rating represents an asset that has all the weaknesses inherent in an asset classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.  The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors, which may work to the advantage of strengthening the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.  Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, liquidation procedures, capital injection, or perfecting liens.

Commercial and industrial

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Commercial and industrial loans is included below:

Equipment, accounts receivable, and inventory General commercial and industrial loans are secured by working capital assets and non-real estate assets.  The general purpose of these loans is for financing capital expenditures and current operations for commercial and industrial entities.  These assets are short-term in nature.  In the case of accounts receivable and inventories, the repayment of debt is reliant upon converting assets into cash or through goods and services being sold and collected.  Collateral based risk is due to aged short-term assets, which can be indicative of underlying issues with the borrower and lead to the value of the collateral being overstated.

Agriculture Agricultural loans are secured by non-real estate agricultural assets.  These include shorter-term assets such as equipment, crops, and livestock.  The risks associated with loans to finance crops or livestock include the borrower’s ability to successfully raise and market the commodity.  Adverse weather conditions and other natural perils can dramatically affect farmers’ or ranchers’ production and ability to service debt.  Volatile commodity prices present another significant risk for agriculture borrowers.  Market price volatility and production cost volatility can affect both revenues and expenses.

Overdrafts Commercial overdrafts are typically short-term and unsecured.  Some commercial borrowers tie their overdraft obligation to their line of credit, so any draw on the line of credit will satisfy the overdraft.

75


 

Based on the factors noted above for each type of collateral, the Company assigns risk ratings to borrowers based on their most recently assessed financial position.  

The following tables provide a summary of the amortized cost balance by collateral type and risk rating as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Specialty loans is included below:

Asset-based lending General asset-based loans are secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and real estate.  The purpose of these loans is for financing current operations for commercial customers.  The repayment of debt is reliant upon collection of the accounts receivable within 30 to 90 days or converting assets into cash or through goods and services being sold and collected.  The Company tracks each individual borrower credit risk based on their loan to collateral position.  Any borrower position where the underlying value of collateral is below the fair value of the loan is considered out-of-margin and inherently higher risk.

Factoring General factoring loans are secured by accounts receivable.  The purpose of these loans is for financing current operations for trucking or other commercial customers.  The repayment of debt is reliant upon collection of the accounts receivable within 30 to 90 days.  The Company tracks each individual borrower’s credit risk based on their loan to collateral position.  To assess credit risk, the portfolio is separated into two tiers and a specifically impaired category.  Tier 1 are loans that have not experienced collateral coverage rates falling below an internally tracked threshold at any time during their relationship history.  The internal threshold is lower than each customers’ actual contractual collateral coverage ratio.  Tier 2 are loans that have experienced collateral coverage rates falling below the same internally tracked threshold during their relationship history.  Loans individually evaluated are loans that have either experienced collateral coverage rates falling below an internally tracked threshold during their relationship history or have balances that are greater than an internally tracked threshold.  Individually evaluated loans utilize a practical expedient for the purpose of determining the expected credit loss.  Collateral dependent assets are loans placed on non-accrual and loans considered to be TDRs.  The combination of these categories has created an associated allowance to this portfolio of $1.0 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The following table provides a summary of the amortized cost balance by risk rating for asset-based loans as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Commercial real estate

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Commercial real estate loans is included below:

Owner-occupied Owner-occupied loans are secured by commercial real estate.  These loans are often longer tenured and susceptible to multiple economic cycles.  The loans rely on the owner-occupied operations to service debt which cover a broad spectrum of industries.  Real estate debt can carry a significant amount of leverage for a borrower to maintain.

Non-owner-occupied Non-owner-occupied loans are secured by commercial real estate.  These loans are often longer tenured and susceptible to multiple economic cycles.  The key element of risk in this type of lending is the cyclical nature of real estate markets.  Although national conditions affect the overall real estate industry, the effect of national conditions on local markets is equally important.  Factors such as unemployment rates, consumer demand, household formation, and the level of economic activity can vary widely from state to state and among

metropolitan areas.  In addition to geographic considerations, markets can be defined by property type.  While all sectors are influenced by economic conditions, some sectors are more sensitive to certain economic factors than others.

Farmland Farmland loans are secured by real estate used for agricultural purposes such as crop and livestock production. Assets used as collateral are long-term assets that carry the ability to have longer amortizations and maturities.  Longer terms carry the risk of added susceptibility to market conditions. The limited purpose of some Agriculture-related collateral affects credit risk because such collateral may have limited or no other uses to support values when loan repayment problems emerge.

5+ Multi-family 5+ multi-family loans are secured by a multi-family residential property. The primary risks associated with this type of collateral are largely driven by economic conditions. The national and local market conditions can change with unemployment rates or competing supply of multi-family housing.   Tenants may not be able to afford their housing or have better options and this can result in increased vacancy.  Rents may need to be lowered to fill apartment units.  Increased vacancy and lower rental rates not only drive the borrower’s ability to repay debt but also contribute to how the collateral is valued.

1-4 Family construction 1-4 family construction loans are secured by 1-4 family residential real estate and are in the process of construction or improvements being made. The predominant risk inherent to this portfolio is the risk associated with a borrower’s ability to successfully complete a project on time and within budget. Market conditions also play an important role in understanding the risk profile.  Risk from adverse changes in market conditions from the start of development to completion can result in deflated collateral values

General construction General construction loans are secured by commercial real estate in process of construction or improvements being made and their repayment is dependent on the collateral’s completion.  Construction lending presents unique risks not encountered in term financing of existing real estate. The predominant risk inherent to this portfolio is the risk associated with a borrower’s ability to successfully complete a project on time and within budget.  Commercial properties under construction are susceptible to market and economic conditions.  Demand from prospective customers may erode after construction begins because of a general economic slowdown or an increase in the supply of competing properties.

Based on the factors noted above for each type of collateral, the Company assigns risk ratings to borrowers based on their most recently assessed financial position.

Consumer real estate

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Consumer real estate loans is included below:

HELOC HELOC loans are revolving lines of credit secured by 1-4 family residential property. The primary risk is the borrower’s inability to repay debt.  Revolving notes are often associated with HELOCs that can be secured by real estate without a 1st lien priority.  Collateral is susceptible to market volatility impacting home values or economic downturns.

First lien: 1-4 family First lien 1-4 family loans are secured by a first lien on 1-4 family residential property. These term loans carry longer maturities and amortizations.  The longer tenure exposes the borrower to multiple economic cycles, coupled with longer amortizations that result in smaller principal reduction early in the life of the loan. Collateral is susceptible to market volatility impacting home values.

Junior lien: 1-4 family Junior lien 1-4 family loans are secured by a junior lien on 1-4 family residential property. The Company’s primary risk is the borrower’s inability to repay debt and not being in a first lien position. Collateral is susceptible to market volatility impacting home values or economic downturns.

A borrower is considered non-performing if the Company has ceased the recognition of interest and the loan is placed on non-accrual.  Charge-offs and borrower performance are tracked on a loan origination vintage basis. Certain vintages, based on their maturation cycle, could be at higher risk due to collateral-based risk factors.  

The following tables provide a summary of the amortized cost balance by collateral type and risk rating as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Consumer

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Consumer loans is included below:

Revolving line Consumer Revolving lines of credit are secured by consumer assets other than real estate.  The primary risk associated with this collateral is related to market volatility and the value of the underlying financial assets.

Auto Direct consumer auto loans are secured by new and used consumer vehicles.  The primary risk with this collateral class is the rate at which the collateral depreciates.

Other This category includes Other consumer loans made to an individual.  The primary risk for this category is for those loans where the loan is unsecured.  This collateral type also includes other unsecured lending such as consumer overdrafts.

A borrower is considered non-performing if the Company has ceased the recognition of interest and the loan is placed on non-accrual.  Charge-offs and borrower performance are tracked on a loan origination vintage basis. Certain vintages, based on their maturation cycle, could be at higher risk due to collateral-based risk factors.

Credit cards

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact Credit card loans is included below:

Consumer Consumer credit card loans are revolving loans made to individuals.  The primary risk associated with this collateral class is credit card debt is generally unsecured; therefore, repayment depends primarily on a borrower’s willingness and capacity to repay. The highly competitive environment for credit card lending provides consumers with ample opportunity to hold several credit cards from different issuers and to pay only minimum monthly payments on outstanding balances. In such an environment, borrowers may become over-extended and unable to repay, particularly in times of an economic downturn or a personal catastrophic event.

83


 

The consumer credit card portfolio is segmented by borrower payment activity.  Transactors are defined as accounts that pay off their balance by the end of each statement cycle.  Revolvers are defined as an account that carries a balance from statement cycle to the next.  These accounts incur monthly finance charges, and, sometimes, late fees.  Revolvers are inherently higher risk and are tracked by FICO score.

Commercial Commercial credit card loans are revolving loans made to small and commercial businesses.   The primary risk associated with this collateral class is credit card debt is generally unsecured; therefore, repayment depends primarily on a borrower’s willingness and capacity to repay. Borrowers may become over-extended and unable to repay, particularly in times of an economic downturn or a catastrophic event.

The commercial credit card portfolio is segmented by current and past due payment status.  A borrower is past due after 30 days.  In general, commercial credit card customers do not have incentive to hold a balance resulting in paying interest on credit card debt as commercial customers will typically have other debt obligations with lower interest rates in which they can utilize for capital.

Leases and other

A discussion of the credit quality indicators that impact each type of collateral securing Leases and other loans is included below:

Leases Leases are either loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures or are loans related to all other direct financing and leveraged leases on property for leasing to lessees other than for household, family, and other personal expenditure purposes.  All leases are secured by the lease between the lessor and the lessee. These assignments grant the creditor a security interest in the rent stream from any lease, an important source of cash to pay the note in case of the borrower’s default.

Other Other loans are loans that are obligations of states and political subdivisions in the U.S., loans to non-depository financial institutions, loans for purchasing or carrying securities, or all other non-consumer loans.  Risk

84


 

associated with other loans is tied to the underlying collateral by each type of loan.  Collateral is generally equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, 1-4 family residential construction and susceptible to the same risks mentioned with those collateral types previously.  Other risks consist of collateral that is secured by the stock of a non-depository financial institution, which can be unlisted stock with a limited market for the stock, or volatility of asset values driven by market performance.

Based on the factors noted above for each type of collateral, the Company assigns risk ratings to borrowers based on their most recently assessed financial position.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from loans’ and HTM securities’ amortized cost bases to present the net amount expected to be collected on the instrument.  Loans and HTM securities are charged off against the ACL when management believes the balance has become uncollectible.  Expected recoveries are included in the allowance and do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.  

 

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts.  Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses and is tracked over an economic cycle to capture a ‘through the cycle’ loss history.  Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in portfolio industry-based segmentation, risk rating and FICO score changes, average prepayment rates, changes in environmental conditions, or other relevant factors.  For economic forecasts, the Company uses the Moody’s baseline scenario.  The Company has developed a dynamic reasonable and supportable forecast period that ranges from one to three years and changes based on economic conditions.  Due to current economic conditions, the Company’s reasonable and supportable forecast period is one year.  After the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company reverts to historical losses.  The reversion method applied to each portfolio can either be cliff or straight-line over four quarters.

  

The ACL is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exists.  The ACL also incorporates qualitative factors which represent adjustments to historical credit loss experience for items such as concentrations of credit and results of internal loan review.  The Company has identified the following portfolio segments and measures the allowance for credit losses using the following methods.  The Company’s portfolio segmentation consists of Commercial and industrial, Specialty lending, Commercial real estate, Consumer real estate, Consumer, Credit cards, Leases and other, and Held-to-maturity securities.  Multiple modeling techniques are used to measure credit losses based on the portfolio.  

 

The ACL for Commercial & industrial and Leases and other segments are measured using a probability of default and loss given default method.  Primary risk drivers within the segment are risk ratings of the individual loans along with changes of macro-economic variables such as interest rates and farm income. The ACL for commercial & industrial loans is calculated by modeling probability of default (PD) over future periods multiplied by historical loss given default rates (LGD) multiplied by contractual exposure at default minus any estimated prepayments and charge offs.

 

Collateral positions for Specialty lending loans are continuously monitored by the Company and the borrower is required to continually adjust the amount of collateral securing the loan.  Credit losses are measured for any

85


 

position where the amortized cost basis is greater than the fair value of the collateral. The ACL for specialty lending loans is calculated by using a bottom up approach comparing collateral values to outstanding balances.

 

The ACL for the Commercial real estate segment is measured using a PD and LGD method.  Primary risk characteristics within the segment are risk ratings of the individual loans, along with changes of macro-economic variables, such as interest rates, CRE price index, median household income, construction activity, farm income, and vacancy rates. The ACL for commercial real estate loans is calculated by modeling PD over future periods based on peer bank data. The PD loss rate is then multiplied by historical LGD multiplied by contractual exposure at default minus any estimated prepayments and charge offs.

 

The ACL for the Consumer real estate and Consumer segments are measured using an origination vintage loss rate method applied to the loans’ amortized cost balance.  The primary risk driver within the segments is year of origination along with changes of macro-economic variables such as unemployment and the home price index.

 

The Credit card segment contains both consumer and commercial credit cards.  The ACL for Consumer credit cards is measured using a PD and LGD method for Revolvers and average historical loss rates across a defined lookback period for Transactors.  The PD and LGD method used for Revolvers is similar in nature to the method used in the Commercial & industrial and Commercial real estate segments. Primary risk drivers within the segment are FICO ratings of the individual card holders along with changes of macro-economic variables such as unemployment and retail sales.  The ACL for Commercial credit cards is measured using roll-rate loss rate method based on days past due.

 

The ACL for HTM securities segment is measured using a loss rate method based on historical bond rating transitions.  Primary risk drivers within the segment are bond ratings in the portfolio along with changes of macro-economic conditions.  For further discussion on these securities, including the aging and amortized cost balance of HTM securities, see Note 4, “Securities.”

 

See the credit quality indicators presented previously for a summary of current risk in the Company’s portfolio.  Changes in economic forecasts will affect all portfolio segments, updated financial records from borrowers will affect portfolio segments by risk rating, updated FICO scores will affect consumer credit cards, payment performance will affect consumer and commercial credit card portfolio segments, and updated bond credit ratings will affect held-to-maturity securities.  The Company actively monitors all credit quality indicators for risk changes that will influence the current estimate.

 

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for prepayments when appropriate.  The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancelable by the Company.

 

Credit card receivables do not have stated maturities.  In determining the estimated life of a credit card receivable, management first estimates the future cash flows expected to be received and then applies those expected future cash flows to the credit card balance.  Expected credit losses for credit cards are determined by estimating the amount and timing of principal payments expected to be received as payment for the balance outstanding as of the reporting period until the expected payments have been fully allocated.  The ACL is recorded for the excess of the balance outstanding as of the reporting period over the expected principal payments.  

 

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis.  Loans evaluated individually include loans on nonaccrual, loans classified as TDRs, or any loans specifically identified, and are excluded from the collective evaluation.  When it is determined that payment of interest or recovery of all principal is questionable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for undiscounted selling costs as appropriate.  All loans are classified as collateral dependent if placed on non-accrual or are considered to be a TDR.  

 

A loan modification is considered a TDR when a concession has been granted to a debtor experiencing financial difficulties.  The allowance for credit loss on a TDR is measured using the discounted cash flow method.  When the value of a concession is measured using the discounted cash flow method, the allowance for credit loss is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, including contractual payments and value of collateral at termination, at the original effective interest rate of the loan.

The primary drivers for the decrease in the Company’s ACL as of December 31, 2021 include the impact of the current and forecasted economic environment, including improving conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the growth in the loan portfolio.

The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is recorded in the Accrued expenses and taxes line of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, see Note 15 “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees.”

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A loan modification is considered a TDR when a concession has been granted to a debtor experiencing financial difficulties.  The Company’s modifications generally include interest rate adjustments, principal reductions, and amortization and maturity date extensions.  These modifications allow the debtor short-term cash relief to allow them to improve their financial condition.  The Company’s restructured loans are considered collateral dependent and evaluated as part of the allowance for credit loss as described above in the Allowance for Credit Losses section of this note.   

The Company had no commitments to lend to borrowers with loan modifications classified as TDRs as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.  The Company monitors loan payments on an on-going basis to determine if a loan is considered to have a payment default.  Determination of payment default involves analyzing the economic conditions that exist for each customer and their ability to generate positive cash flows during the loan term.

90


 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has no new TDRs.  For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company added one consumer real estate TDR with a pre- and post-modification loan balance of $441 thousand.  For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no TDRs for which there was a payment default within the 12 months following the restructure date.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investments were caused by changes in interest rates, and not from a decline in credit of the underlying issuers.  The U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and GSE mortgage-backed securities are all considered to be agency-backed securities with no risk of loss as they are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The changes in fair value in the agency-backed portfolios are solely driven by change in interest rates caused by changing economic conditions. The Company has no knowledge of any underlying credit issues and the cash flows underlying the debt securities have not changed and are not expected to be impacted by changes in interest rates.  

For the State and political subdivision portfolio, the majority of the Company’s holdings are in general obligation bonds, which have a very low historical default rate due to issuers generally having unlimited taxing authority to service the debt.  For the State and political, Corporates, and Collateralized loan obligations portfolios, the Company has a robust process for monitoring credit risk, including both pre-purchase and ongoing post-purchase credit reviews and analysis.  The Company monitors credit ratings of all bond issuers in these segments and reviews available financial data, including market and sector trends.

As of both December 31, 2021 and 2020, there is no ACL related to the Company’s available-for-sale securities as the decline in fair value did not result from credit issues.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio were caused by changes in the interest rate environment.  The GSE mortgage-backed securities are considered to be agency-backed securities with no risk of loss as they are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The changes in fair value in the agency-backed portfolios are solely driven by change in interest rates caused by changing economic conditions. The Company has no knowledge of any underlying credit issues and the cash flows underlying the debt securities have not changed and are not expected to be impacted by changes in interest rates.  As of December 31, 2021, there is no ACL related to the Company’s held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities as the decline in fair value did not result from credit issues.

The underlying bonds in the Company’s held-to-maturity State and political subdivisions bond portfolio are evaluated for credit losses in conjunction with management’s estimate of the ACL based on credit rating.

Competitive held-to-maturity securities include not-for-profit enterprises that provide public functions such as housing, higher education, or healthcare, but do so in a competitive environment.  It also includes project financings that can have relatively high enterprise risk, such as deals backed by revenues from sports or convention facilities or start-up transportation revenues.

Utilities are public enterprises providing essential services with a monopoly or near-monopoly over the service area.  This includes environmental utilities (water, sewer, solid waste), power utilities (electric distribution and generation, gas), and transportation utilities (airports, parking, toll roads, mass transit, ports).

Premises and equipment depreciation and amortization expenses were $49.6 million in 2021, $56.1 million in 2020, and $50.8 million in 2019.  

The Company primarily has leases of real estate, including buildings, or portions of buildings, used for bank branches or general office operations.  These leases have remaining lease terms that range from less than one year to 26 years and most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one month to 35 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion.  No renewal options were included in the Company’s calculation of its lease liabilities or right of use assets since it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise these options. No leases include options to purchase the leased property.  The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.  An insignificant number of leases include variable lease payments that are based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI).  For the calculation of the lease liability and right of use asset for these leases, the Company has included lease payments based on CPI as of the effective date of ASC 842.  The Company has made the election not to separate lease and non-lease components for existing real estate leases when determining consideration within the lease contract. All of the Company’s lease agreements are classified as operating leases under ASC 842.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, right-of-use assets of $57.1 million and $63.4 million, respectively, were included as part of Other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, lease liabilities of $64.6 million and $71.7 million were included as part of Other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, lease expense of $11.8 million and $12.8 million, respectively, was recognized as part of Occupancy expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.  For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, cash payments of $12.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively, were made for leases included in the measurement of lease liabilities and are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, leased assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities were $2.4 million and $7.2 million, respectively.  As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the weighted average remaining lease terms of the Company’s leases were 7.5 years and 8.2 years, respectively, and the weighted average discount rates were 2.74% and 2.85%, respectively.

The aggregate repayment of long-term debt of $273.2 million is due after December 31, 2026.

 

The Company assumed long-term debt obligations from the acquisition of Marquette consisting of debt obligations payable to four unconsolidated trusts (Marquette Capital Trust I, Marquette Capital Trust II, Marquette Capital Trust III, and Marquette Capital Trust IV) that previously issued trust preferred securities.  These long-term debt obligations had an aggregate contractual balance of $103.1 million and had a carrying value of $73.2 million as of December 31, 2021. Interest rates on trust preferred securities are tied to the three-month LIBOR rate with spreads ranging from 133 basis points to 160 basis points and reset quarterly. The trust preferred securities have maturity dates ranging from January 2036 to September 2036.

In September 2020, the Company issued $200.0 million of 3.70% fixed-to-fixed rate subordinated notes that mature on September 17, 2030.  The notes bear interest at the rate of 3.70% per annum, payable semi-annually on each March 17 and September 17.  The Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, on September 17, 2025, or on any interest payment date thereafter.  Unamortized debt issuance costs related to these notes totaled $1.7 million as of December 31, 2021.  Proceeds from the issuance of the notes were used for general corporate purposes, including contributing Tier 1 capital into the Bank.

The Company is a member bank of the FHLB of Des Moines.  Through this relationship, the Company purchased $10.0 million of FHLB stock and has access to additional liquidity and funding sources through FHLB advances.  The Company’s borrowing capacity is dependent upon the amount of collateral the Company places at the FHLB.  The Company’s borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2021.  The Company had no outstanding FHLB advances at FHLB Des Moines as of December 31, 2021.

The Company has a revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which allows the Company to borrow up to $30.0 million for general working capital purposes.  The interest rate applied to borrowed balances will be at the Company’s option either 1.25% above LIBOR or 1.75% below the prime rate on the date of an advance.  

98


 

The Company pays 0.4% unused commitment fee for unused portions of the line of credit.  The Company currently has no outstanding balance on this line of credit.

The Company enters into sales of securities with simultaneous agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements).  The Company utilizes repurchase agreements to facilitate the needs of customers and to facilitate secured short-term funding needs. Repurchase agreements are stated at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Company monitors collateral levels on a continuous basis and may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. Securities pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements are maintained with the Company’s safekeeping agents.  The amounts received under these agreements represent short-term borrowings.  The amount outstanding at December 31, 2021, was $3.2 billion, with accrued interest payable of $245 thousand.  The amount outstanding at December 31, 2020, was $2.2 billion, with accrued interest payable of $326 thousand.

10. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

Payment of dividends by the Bank to the parent company is subject to various regulatory restrictions.  For national banks, the governing regulatory agency must approve the declaration of any dividends generally in excess of the sum of net income for that year and retained net income for the preceding two years.  

The Bank maintains a reserve balance with the FRB as required by law.  During 2021, this amount averaged $4.0 billion, compared to $1.2 billion in 2020.

At December 31, 2021, the Company is required to have minimum common equity tier 1, tier 1, and total capital ratios of 4.5%, 6.0% and 8.0%, respectively.  The Company’s actual ratios at that date were 12.05%, 12.05% and 13.88%, respectively.  The Company is required to have a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, and the leverage ratio at December 31, 2021, was 7.61%.

As of December 31, 2021, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well-capitalized the Bank must maintain total risk-based, tier 1 risk-based, common equity tier 1, and tier 1 leverage ratios of 10.0%, 8.0%, 6.5%, and 5.0%, respectively.  There are no conditions or events that have occurred since the receipt of the most recent notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s categorization.

In addition, under amendments to the BHCA introduced by the Dodd-Frank Act and commonly known as the Volcker Rule, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to extensive limits on proprietary trading and on owning or sponsoring hedge funds and private-equity funds. The limits on proprietary trading are largely focused on purchases or sales of financial instruments by a banking entity as principal primarily for the purpose of short-term resale, benefitting from actual or expected short-term price movements, or realizing short-term arbitrage profits. The limits on owning or sponsoring hedge funds and private-equity funds are designed to ensure that banking entities generally maintain only small positions in managed or advised funds and are not exposed to significant losses arising directly or indirectly from them. The Volcker Rule also provides for increased capital charges, quantitative limits, rigorous compliance programs, and other restrictions on permitted proprietary trading and fund activities, including a prohibition on transactions with a covered fund that would constitute a covered transaction under Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. The fund activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are in conformance with the Volcker Rule.

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company has a discretionary noncontributory profit-sharing plan, which features an employee stock ownership plan.  This plan is for the benefit of substantially all eligible officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The Company recognized expense related to such contributions of $2.5 million, $2.0 million, and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

The Company has a qualified 401(k) profit sharing plan that permits participants to make contributions by salary deduction, to which the Company makes matching contributions.  The Company recognized expense related to matching contributions of $11.4 million, $11.0 million, and $10.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company recognized $40 thousand, $0.6 million, and $1.3 million in expense related to outstanding stock options and $1.9 million, $3.4 million, and $6.9 million in expense related to outstanding restricted stock grants for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The Company also recognized $18.6 million, $10.5 million, and $6.0 million in expense related to outstanding restricted stock unit grants for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  The Company had $0.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock, and $15.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock unit grants at December 31, 2021.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan

At the April 26, 2005 shareholders’ meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved the UMB Financial Corporation Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (LTIP) which became effective as of January 1, 2005. The LTIP permits the issuance to selected officers of the Company service-based restricted stock grants, performance-based restricted stock grants and non-qualified stock options. Service-based restricted stock grants contain a service requirement.  The performance-based restricted grants contain performance and service requirements.  The non-qualified stock option grants contain a service requirement.

At the April 23, 2013 shareholders’ meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved amendments to the LTIP Plan, including increasing the number of shares of the Company’s stock reserved for issuance under the Plan from 5.25 million shares to 7.44 million shares. Additionally, the shareholders approved increasing the maximum benefits any one eligible employee may receive under the plan during any one fiscal year from $1 million to $2 million taking into account the value of all stock options and restricted stock received. 

The service-based restricted stock grants contain a service requirement with varying vesting schedules.  The majority of these grants issued in 2016 and beyond utilize a vesting schedule in which 50% of the shares vest after two years of service, 75% after three years of service and 100% after four years of service.  Certain other grants utilize vesting schedules in which the grants vest ratably over the requisite service period or contain a three-year cliff vesting.

The dividends on service-based restricted stock grants are treated as two separate transactions.  First, cash dividends are paid on the restricted stock.  Those cash dividends are then paid to purchase additional shares of restricted stock.  Dividends earned as additional shares of restricted stock have the same terms as the associated grant.  The dividends paid on the stock are recorded as a reduction to retained earnings, similar to all dividend transactions.

The non-qualified stock options carry a service requirement and grants issued prior to 2016 will vest 50% after three years, 75% after four years and 100% after five years, while grants issued in 2016 and beyond will vest 50% after two years, 75% after three years and 100% after four years.

There were no options granted during 2021, 2020, or 2019.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, was $12.9 million, $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively.  As of December 31, 2021, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested options.

Cash received from options exercised under all share-based compensation plans was $18.4 million, $4.6 million, and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.  The tax benefit realized for stock options exercised was $2.6 million, $345 thousand, and $766 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

The Company has no specific policy to repurchase common shares to mitigate the dilutive impact of options; however, the Company has historically made adequate discretionary repurchases of common shares in an amount that exceeds stock option exercise activity.  See a description of the Company’s Repurchase Authorizations in Note 14, “Common Stock and Earnings Per Share,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements provided in Item 8 of this report.

Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan

At the April 24, 2018 shareholders’ meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved the UMB Financial Corporation Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (OICP) which became effective as of April 24, 2018. The OICP permits the issuance to key employees of the Company various types of awards, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based awards. Service-based restricted stock unit awards contain a service requirement and the performance-based restricted stock unit awards contain performance and service requirements. The number of shares of the Company’s stock reserved for issuance under the OICP is 5.40 million shares.

The service-based restricted stock unit awards are payable in shares of stock and the majority contain a service requirement with a four-year graded vesting schedule in which 50% of the units are vested after two years, 75% are vested after three years, and 100% are vested after four years.  Certain other grants contain a service requirement with either a two-year cliff vesting or a three-year graded vesting schedule in which 50% of the units vest after two years of service and the remaining 50% vest after three years of service.

The performance-based restricted stock unit awards are payable in shares of stock and contain a service and a performance requirement.  The performance requirement is based on two predetermined performance requirements over a three-year period. The service requirement portion is a three-year cliff vesting.  If the minimum performance requirement is not met, the participants do not receive the shares.

The dividends on service-based restricted stock units are treated as two separate transactions.  First, cash dividends are paid on the restricted stock units.  Those cash dividends are then paid to purchase additional shares of restricted stock units.  Dividends earned as additional shares of restricted stock units have the same terms as the associated grant. The dividends paid on the stock are recorded as a reduction to retained earnings, similar to all dividend transactions.  Dividends are not paid on performance-based restricted stock units.

12. BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has strategically aligned its operations into the following three reportable segments: Commercial Banking, Institutional Banking, and Personal Banking (collectively, the Business Segments, and each, a Business Segment).  The Company’s senior executive officers regularly evaluate Business Segment financial results produced by the Company’s internal reporting system in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance for individual Business Segments. Prior to 2020, the Company had the following four Business Segments:  Commercial Banking, Institutional Banking, Personal Banking, and Healthcare Services. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company merged the Healthcare Services segment into the Institutional Banking segment to better reflect how the core businesses, products and services are currently being evaluated by management.  The Company’s Healthcare Services leadership structure and financial performance assessments are now included in the Institutional Banking segment, and accordingly, the reportable segments were realigned to reflect these changes. The Company’s reportable Business Segments include certain corporate overhead, technology and service costs that are allocated based on methodologies that are applied consistently between periods. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at December 31, 2021. Previously reported results have been reclassified in this filing to conform to the current organizational structure.

The following summaries provide information about the activities of each segment:

Commercial Banking serves the commercial banking and treasury management needs of the Company’s small to mid-market businesses through a variety of products and services.  Such services include commercial loans, commercial real estate financing, commercial credit cards, letters of credit, loan syndication services, and consultative services.  In addition, the Company’s specialty lending group offers a variety of business solutions

including asset-based lending, accounts receivable financing, mezzanine debt and minority equity investments.  Treasury management services include depository services, account reconciliation and cash management tools such as, accounts payable and receivable solutions, electronic fund transfer and automated payments, controlled disbursements, lockbox services, and remote deposit capture services.

Institutional Banking is a combination of banking services, fund services, asset management services, and healthcare services provided to institutional clients.  This segment also provides fixed income sales, trading and underwriting, corporate trust and escrow services, as well as institutional custody.  Institutional Banking includes UMBFS, which provides fund administration and accounting, investor services and transfer agency, marketing and distribution, custody, and alternative investment services.  Healthcare services provides healthcare payment solutions including custodial services for health savings accounts (HSAs) and private label, multipurpose debit cards to insurance carriers, third-party administrators, software companies, employers, and financial institutions.

Personal Banking combines consumer banking and wealth management services offered to clients and delivered through personal relationships and the Company’s bank branches, ATM network and internet banking.  Products offered include deposit accounts, retail credit cards, private banking, installment loans, home equity lines of credit, residential mortgages, and small business loans.  The range of client services extends from a basic checking account to estate planning and trust services and includes private banking, brokerage services, and insurance services in addition to a full spectrum of investment advisory, trust, and custody services.

13. REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Company generates revenue that are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

 

Trust and securities processing – Trust and securities processing income consists of fees earned on personal and corporate trust accounts, custody of securities services, trust investments and wealth management services, and mutual fund and alternative asset servicing.  The performance obligations related to this revenue include items such as performing full bond trustee service administration, investment advisory services, custody and record-keeping services, and fund administrative and accounting services.  These fees are part of long-term contractual agreements and the performance obligations are satisfied upon completion of service and fees are generally a fixed flat monthly rate or based on a percentage of the account’s market value per the contract with the customer.  These fees are primarily recorded within the Company’s Institutional and Personal Banking segments.  

 

Trading and investment banking – Trading and investment banking income consists of income earned related to the Company’s trading securities portfolio, including futures hedging, dividends, bond underwriting, and other securities incomes.  The vast majority of this revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 320, Debt and Equity Securities, and is out of the scope of ASC 606. A portion of trading and investment banking represents fees earned for management fees, commissions, and underwriting of corporate bond issuances.  The performance obligations related to these fees include reviewing the credit worthiness of the customer, ensuring appropriate regulatory approval and participating in due diligence.  The fees are fixed per the bond prospectus and the performance obligations are satisfied upon registration approval of the bonds by the applicable regulatory agencies.  Revenue is recognized at the point in time upon completion of service and when approval is granted by the regulators.

 

Service charges on deposits – Service charges on deposit accounts represent monthly analysis fees recognized for the services related to customer deposit accounts, including account maintenance and depository transactions processing fees.  Commercial Banking and Institutional Banking depository accounts charge fees in accordance with the customer’s pricing schedule while Personal Banking account holders are generally charged a flat service fee per month.  Deposit service charges for the healthcare accounts included in the Institutional Banking segment are priced according to either standard pricing schedules with individual account holders or according to service agreements between the Company and employer groups or third-party administrators.  The Company satisfies the performance obligation related to providing depository accounts monthly as transactions are processed and deposit service charge revenue is recorded monthly.  These fees are recognized within all Business Segments.  

 

Insurance fees and commissions – Insurance fees and commissions includes all insurance-related fees earned, including commissions for individual life, variable life, group life, health, group health, fixed annuity, and variable annuity insurance contracts. The performance obligations related to these revenues primarily represent the placement of insurance policies with the insurance company partners.  The fees are based on the contracts with insurance company partners and the performance obligations are satisfied when the terms of the policy have been agreed to and the insurance policy becomes effective.

 

Brokerage fees – Brokerage fees represent income earned related to providing brokerage transaction services, including commissions on equity and commodity trades, and fees for investment management, advisory and administration.  The performance obligations related to transaction services are executing the specified trade and are priced according to the customer’s fee schedule.  Such income is recognized at a point in time as the trade occurs

106


 

and the performance obligation is fulfilled.  The performance obligations related to investment management, advisory and administration include allocating customer assets across a wide range of mutual funds and other investments, on-going account monitoring and re-balancing of the portfolio.  These performance obligations are satisfied over time and the related revenue is calculated monthly based on the assets under management of each customer.  All material performance obligations are satisfied as of the end of each accounting period.

 

Bankcard fees – Bankcard fees primarily represent income earned from interchange revenue from MasterCard and Visa for the Company’s processing of debit, credit, HSA, and flexible spending account transactions.  Additionally, the Company earns income and incentives related to various referrals of customers to card programs.  The performance obligation for interchange revenue is the processing of each transaction through the Company’s access to the banking system.  This performance obligation is completed for each individual transaction and income is recognized per transaction in accordance with interchange rates established by MasterCard and Visa.  The performance obligations for various referral and incentive programs include either referring customers to certain card products or issuing exclusively branded cards for certain customer segments.  The pricing of these incentive and referral programs are in accordance with the agreement with the individual card partner.  These performance obligations are completed as the referrals are made or over a period of time when the Company is exclusively issuing branded cards.  For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company also has approximately $34.0 million, $30.0 million, and $38.1 million of expense, respectively, recorded within the Bankcard fees line on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income related to rebates and rewards programs that are outside of the scope of ASC 606.  All material performance obligations are satisfied as of the end of each accounting period.

 

Investment securities gains, net – In the regular course of business, the Company recognizes gains on the sale of available-for-sale securities.  Additionally, the Company recognizes gains and losses on equity securities with readily determinable fair values and equity securities without readily determinable fair values. These gains and losses are recognized in accordance with ASC 320, Debt and Equity Securities, and are outside of the scope of ASC 606.

 

Other income – The Company recognizes other miscellaneous income through a variety of other revenue streams, the most material of which include letter of credit fees, certain loan origination fees, gains on the sale of assets, derivative income, and bank-owned and company-owned life insurance income.  These revenue streams are outside of the scope of ASC 606 and are recognized in accordance with the applicable U.S. GAAP.  The remainder of Other income is primarily earned through transactions with personal banking customers, including wire transfer service charges, stop payment charges, and fees for items like money orders and cashier’s checks.  The performance obligations of these types of fees are satisfied as transactions are completed and revenue is recognized upon transaction execution according to established fee schedules with the customers.  

 

The Company had no material contract assets, contract liabilities, or remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2021 or 2020.  Total receivables from revenue recognized under the scope of ASC 606 were $73.6 million and $62.1 million as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  These receivables are included as part of the Other assets line on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The following tables depict the disaggregation of revenue according to revenue stream and Business Segment for the three years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.  As stated in Note 12, “Business Segment Reporting,” for comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at December 31, 2021 and previously reported results have been reclassified in this filing to conform to the current organizational structure.

The Board authorized the repurchase of up to 2 million shares of common stock annually at its 2019, 2020 and 2021 meetings.  During 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with BAML to repurchase an aggregate of $30.0 million of the Company’s common stock through an ASR.  Under the ASR, the Company repurchased a total of 653,498 shares.  The final settlement of the transactions under the ASR occurred in the second quarter of 2020. Other than purchases pursuant to the ASR, all share purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Authorizations are intended to be within the scope of Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act.  Rule 10b-18 provides a safe harbor for purchases in a given day if the Company satisfies the manner, timing and volume conditions of the rule when purchasing its own common shares. The Company has not made any repurchase of its securities other than pursuant to the Repurchase Authorizations.

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potential common shares that were outstanding during the year.

The shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share, are shown below:

15. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit, and futures contracts.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The contract or notional amount of those instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.  Many of the commitments expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total amount of these commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit is

represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the agreement.  These conditions generally include, but are not limited to, each customer being current as to repayment terms of existing loans and no deterioration in the customer’s financial condition.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  The interest rate is generally a variable rate.  If the commitment has a fixed interest rate, the rate is generally not set until such time as credit is extended.  For credit card customers, the Company has the right to change or terminate terms or conditions of the credit card account at any time.  Since a large portion of the commitments and unused credit card lines are never actually drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on an individual basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation.  Collateral pledged by customers varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, real estate, plant and equipment, stock, securities and certificates of deposit.

Commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate trade or commerce.  Under the terms of a commercial letter of credit, as a general rule, drafts will be drawn when the underlying transaction is consummated as intended.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company payable upon the non-performance of a customer’s obligation to a third party.  The Company issues standby letters of credit for terms ranging from three months to six years.  The Company generally requires the customer to pledge collateral to support the letter of credit.  The maximum liability to the Company under standby letters of credit at December 31, 2021 and 2020, was $365.0 million and $346.6 million, respectively.  As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, standby letters of credit totaling $28.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively, were with related parties to the Company.

The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities.  The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments when deemed necessary.  Collateral varies but may include such items as those described for commitments to extend credit.

Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date, of a specified instrument, at a specified yield.  Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in securities values and interest rates.  Instruments used in trading activities are carried at fair value and gains and losses on futures contracts are settled in cash daily.  Any changes in the fair value are recognized in trading and investment banking income.

The Company uses contracts to offset interest rate risk on specific securities held in the trading portfolio.  As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no notional amounts outstanding for these contracts.   There were no open futures contract positions during the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.  There was no net futures activity for the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.  Net futures activity resulted in gains of $5 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019.  The Company controls the credit risk of its futures contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.

The Company also enters into foreign exchange contracts on a limited basis.  For operating purposes, the Company maintains certain balances in foreign banks. Foreign exchange contracts are purchased on a monthly basis to avoid foreign exchange risk on these foreign balances.  The Company will also enter into foreign exchange contracts to facilitate foreign exchange needs of customers.  The Company will enter into a contract to buy or sell a foreign currency at a future date only as part of a contract to sell or buy the foreign currency at the same future date to a customer.  During 2021, contracts to purchase and to sell foreign currency averaged approximately $21.4 million compared to $21.0 million during 2020.  The net gains on these foreign exchange contracts for 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $2.6 million, $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

With respect to group concentrations of credit risk, most of the Company’s business activity is with customers in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Arizona, Illinois, and Texas.  At December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any significant credit concentrations in any particular industry.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancelable by the Company.  The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life.  The estimate is based on expected utilization rates by portfolio segment.  Utilization rates are influenced by historical trends and current conditions.  The expected utilization rates are applied to the total commitment to determine the expected amount to be funded.  The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposure is calculated by applying portfolio segment expected credit loss rates to the expected amount to be funded.

The following categories of off-balance sheet credit exposures have been identified:

Revolving Lines of Credit: includes commercial, construction, agricultural, personal, and home-equity.  Risk inherent to revolving lines of credit often are related to the susceptibility of an individual or business experiencing unpredictable cash flow or financial troubles, thus leading to payment default.  During these financial troubles, the borrower could have less than desirable assets collateralizing the revolving line of credit.  The financial strain the borrower is experiencing could lead to drawing against the line without the ability to pay the line down.

Non-Revolving Lines of Credit: include commercial and personal.  Lines that do not carry a revolving feature are generally associated with a specific expenditure or project, such as to purchase equipment or the construction of real estate.  The predominate risk associated with non-revolving lines is the diversion of funds for other expenditures.  If the funds get diverted, the contributory value to collateral suffers.

Letters of Credit: includes standby letters of credit.  Generally, a standby letter of credit is established to provide assurance to the beneficiary that the applicant will perform certain obligations arising out of a separate transaction between the beneficiary and the applicant.  These obligations might be the performance of a service or delivery of a product.  If the obligations are not met, it gives the beneficiary the right to draw on the letter of credit.

The ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposures was $2.6 million and $5.6 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was recorded in the Accrued expenses and taxes line of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  A reduction of $3.0 million of provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2021. Provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures of $2.6 million was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020. Provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures is recorded in the Provision for credit losses line of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

16. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes as set forth below produce effective income tax rates of 17.7% in 2021, 15.5% in 2020, and 14.8% in 2019.  These percentages are computed by dividing Income tax expense by Income before income taxes.

In preparing its tax returns, the Company is required to interpret tax laws and regulations to determine its taxable income.  Periodically, the Company is subject to examinations by various taxing authorities that may give rise to differing interpretations of these laws.  Upon examination, agreement of tax liabilities between the Company and the multiple tax jurisdictions in which the Company files tax returns may ultimately be different.  The Company is in the examination process with the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 2014 and 2015 and with one state taxing authority for tax year 2018.  The Company believes the aggregate amount of any additional liabilities that may result from these examinations, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Deferred income taxes result from differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities measured for financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for income tax return purposes.

As of December 31, 2021, state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $649 thousand are included in the miscellaneous deferred tax assets line item above.  Most of these net operating losses expire at various times between 2022 and 2041 and some have an indefinite carryforward.  During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company released a portion of the state valuation allowance of $1.7 million, due to positive evidence outweighing negative evidence, specifically no longer being in a cumulative loss position in certain jurisdictions.  As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had a valuation allowance of $514 thousand and $1.1 million, respectively, for certain state net operating losses as they are not expected to be realized.  In addition, as of December 31, 20201 and 2020, the Company had a valuation allowance of $821 thousand and $2.2 million, respectively, to reduce certain other state deferred tax assets to the amount of tax benefit management believes it will more likely than not realize.

The net deferred tax liability is included in the Accrued expenses and taxes line of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years prior to 2014 in the jurisdictions in which it files.  

Liabilities Associated With Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits totaled $8.8 million and $6.7 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, net of associated deferred tax benefit, that would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, would be $7.0 million and $5.3 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The unrecognized tax benefits relate to state tax positions that have a corresponding federal tax benefit. While it is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months, the Company does not expect this change to have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

17. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions.  The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities.  Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.  The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s loans and borrowings. The Company also has interest rate derivatives that result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk of the Company’s assets or liabilities. The Company has entered into an offsetting position for each of these derivative instruments with a matching instrument from another financial institution in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.  

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets  

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.  The Company’s derivative assets and derivative liabilities are located within Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative fair values are determined using valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows from each derivative.  This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities.  The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

This table provides a summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed-rate assets and liabilities due to changes in the benchmark interest rate, LIBOR.  Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve making fixed rate payments to a counterparty in exchange for the Company receiving variable rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount.  As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 10 interest rate swaps that were designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk associated with the Company’s municipal bond securities.  These swaps had a notional amount of $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2021.  As of December 31, 2020, the Company had one interest rate swap that was designated as a fair value hedge of interest rate risk associated with the Company’s fixed rate loan assets. This swap had a notional amount of $5.0 million as of December 31, 2020.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in Interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.  To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and floors as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.  As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had two interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable-rate subordinated debentures issued by Marquette Capital Trusts III and IV.  These swaps had an aggregate notional amount of $51.5 million at both December 31, 2021 and 2020.  Interest rate floors designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates fall below the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an upfront premium.  On August 28, 2020, the Company terminated an interest rate floor with a notional amount of $750.0 million.  At the date of termination, the interest rate floor had a net asset fair value of $34.1 million.  The gross unrealized gain on the terminated interest rate floor remaining in AOCI was $12.3 million, or $9.4 million net of tax, and $17.0 million, or $12.9 million net of tax, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The unrealized gain will be reclassified into Interest income as the underlying forecasted transactions impact earnings through the original maturity of the hedged forecasted transactions.  The total remaining term over which the unrealized gain will be reclassified into earnings is 2.7 years.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense and interest income in the period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.  Amounts reported in AOCI related to interest rate swap derivatives will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest payments are received or paid on the Company’s hedged items. Amounts reported in AOCI related to interest rate floor derivatives will be reclassified to Interest income as interest payments are received or paid on the Company’s hedged items.  The Company expects to reclassify $1.2 million from AOCI to Interest expense and $5.0 million from AOCI to Interest income during the next 12 months.  As of December 31, 2021, the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a maximum period of 14.7 years.

Non-designated Hedges

The remainder of the Company’s derivatives are not designated in qualifying hedging relationships.  Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers.  The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies.  Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.  As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.  As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 188 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $2.9 billion related to this program.  As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 176 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $2.5 billion.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of December 31, 2021, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest, related to these agreements was $7.9 million. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had posted $12.7 million of collateral. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at December 31, 2021, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

18. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.  Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.  In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy.  In such cases, the fair value is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments measured on a recurring basis:

Trading Securities Fair values for trading securities (including financial futures), are based on quoted market prices where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar securities.

Securities Available for Sale Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.  Prices are provided by third-party pricing services and are based on observable market inputs. On an annual basis, the Company compares a sample of these prices to other independent sources for the same securities. Additionally, throughout the year, if securities are sold, comparisons are made between the pricing services prices and the market prices at which the securities were sold.  Variances are analyzed, and, if appropriate, additional research is conducted with the third-party pricing services. Based on this research, the pricing services may affirm or revise their quoted price. No significant adjustments have been made to the prices provided by the pricing services. The pricing services also provide documentation on an ongoing basis that includes reference data, inputs and methodology by asset class, which is reviewed to ensure that security placement within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values Fair values are based on quoted market prices.

Company-owned Life Insurance Fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.  

Bank-owned Life Insurance Fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.

119


 

Derivatives Fair values are determined using valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows from each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Securities sold not yet purchased Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Prices are provided by third-party pricing services and are based on observable market inputs.

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments measured on a non-recurring basis:

Collateral Dependent Assets Collateral dependent assets are assets evaluated as part of the ACL on an individual basis.  Those assets for which there is an associated allowance are considered financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  Adjustments are recorded on certain assets to reflect write-downs that are based on the external appraised value of the underlying collateral.  The external appraisals are generally based on recent sales of comparable properties which are then adjusted for the unique characteristics of the property being valued.  In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgments based on the experience and expertise of internal specialists within the Company’s property management group and the Company’s credit department. The valuation of collateral dependent assets and impaired loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis.  Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3.  

Other real estate owned Other real estate owned consists of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including auto, recreational and marine vehicles. Other real estate owned is recorded as held for sale initially at the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs.  The initial valuation of the foreclosed property

120


 

is obtained through an appraisal process similar to the process described in the collateral dependent/impaired loans paragraph above. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are reviewed quarterly and updated periodically, and the assets may be marked down further, reflecting a new cost basis. Fair value measurements may be based upon appraisals, third-party price opinions, or internally developed pricing methods and those measurements are classified as Level 3.

Fair value disclosures require disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

Cash and short-term investments The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and resell agreements are reasonable estimates of their fair values.

Securities held to maturity Fair value of held-to-maturity securities are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates.

Other securities Amount consists of FRB and FHLB stock held by the Company, equity securities with readily determinable fair values, and equity securities without readily determinable fair values, including equity-method investments and other miscellaneous investments.  The carrying amount of the FRB and FHLB stock equals its fair value because the shares can only be redeemed by the FRB and FHLB at their carrying amount. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value using quoted market prices.  Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.  As of December 31, 2020, equity securities without readily determinable fair values also included PCM equity-method investments, for which the Company’s proportionate share of the income or loss was recognized on a one-quarter lag based on the valuation of the underlying investment(s).

Loans Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics.  Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, real estate, consumer, and credit card.  Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate categories.  The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows. The discount rates used are estimated using comparable market rates for similar types of instruments adjusted to be commensurate with the credit risk, overhead costs, and optionality of such instruments.

Demand and savings deposits The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts was the amount payable on demand at December 31, 2021 and 2020.  

Time deposits The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates that are currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

122


 

Other borrowings The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and other short-term debt are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short-term nature of their maturities.

Long-term debt Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

Other off-balance sheet instruments The fair value of loan commitments and letters of credit are determined based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.  Neither the fees earned during the year on these instruments nor their fair value at period-end are significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures  At the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “Disclosure Controls and Procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) and have concluded that the Company’s Disclosure Controls and Procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.  Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and effected by the Board, management and other personnel, an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was conducted based on the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission's Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013).  

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  In addition, given the Company’s size, operations and footprint, lapses or deficiencies in internal controls may occur from time to time.

Based on the evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), management (with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) under the oversight of the Board of Directors, has concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective at the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements included within this report, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting at the end of the period covered by this report.  KPMG LLP's attestation report is set forth below.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last quarter of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
UMB Financial Corporation:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited UMB Financial Corporation’s (and subsidiaries) (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 24, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
