UNIVEST FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Univest Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Corporation’s direct subsidiary is Univest Bank and Trust Co. (the Bank). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations for interim financial information. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2020 or for any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes include fair value measurement of investment securities available-for-sale and the calculation of the reserve for credit losses.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2020

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and subsequent related updates. This ASU replaces the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses and requires businesses and other organizations to measure the current expected credit losses (CECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and held-to-maturity securities, net investments in leases accounted for under ASC 842, off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments, and other financial instruments. In addition, ASC 326 requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down when management does not intend to sell or believes that it is not more likely than not they will be required to sell. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years for public business entities that are SEC filers, or January 1, 2020 for the Corporation. The results reported for periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable accounting standards. See Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Polices - Reserve for Loan and Lease Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020, for further information on the Corporation's reserve for loan and lease losses methodology under the incurred loss model.

The Corporation adopted this guidance, and subsequent related updates, for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and held-to-maturity securities, net investments in leases, available-for-sale debt securities and unfunded commitments using the modified retrospective approach. On January 1, 2020, the Corporation recorded a cumulative effect decrease to retained earnings of $11.3 million, net of tax, of which $10.2 million related to loans and net investment in leases, $905 thousand related to unfunded commitments, and $237 thousand related to available-for-sale securities.

The Corporation adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (PCD) that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (PCI) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. On January 1, 2020, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets were adjusted to reflect the addition of $84 thousand of the allowance for credit losses (ACL).

Table of Contents
The Corporation adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for presenting other-than-temporary impairment on available-for-sale debt securities prior to January 1, 2020, though no such charges had been recorded on the securities held by the Corporation as of the date of adoption.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Financial Instruments (Topic 825)." The amendments to Topic 326 are the most significant and address how a company considers recoveries and extension options when estimating expected credit losses. The ASU clarifies that a company’s estimate of expected credit losses should include expected recoveries of financial assets, including recoveries of amounts expected to be written off and those previously written off. The ASU also clarifies that a company should consider contractual extension or renewal options that it cannot unconditionally cancel when determining the contractual term over which expected credit losses are measured. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years for public business entities that are SEC filers, or January 1, 2020 for the Corporation.

The Corporation adopted ASU No. 2019-04 and incorporated the applicable items described as follows into the CECL model. Management addressed the provision in ASU No. 2019-04 related to how a company considers recoveries by performing an analysis to estimate recoveries that could be reasonably expected based on historical experience as described further below. Management addressed the provision in ASU No. 2019-04 related to how a company considers extension options when estimating expected credit losses as described further below. Management reviewed the provision in the ASU No. 2019-04 related to Topics 815 and 825 and determined these amendments did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

The Corporation expanded the pooling utilized under the legacy incurred loss method to include additional segmentation based on risk. The impact of the change from the incurred loss model to the current expected credit loss model is detailed below.

This ASU applies to all entities that are required, under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. Disclosures removed by this ASU are the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 measurements. This ASU modifies certain disclosures relating to investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The Corporation adopted this guidance and the related required disclosures prospectively on January 1, 2020.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Public business entities that are SEC filers should adopt the amendments in this ASU for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, or for the Corporation's goodwill impairment test in 2020. The Corporation adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020; the adoption did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to Be Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit plans or other postretirement plans. Disclosures removed by this ASU include the following: 1) amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year; 2) amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer; and 3) the effects of a one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the net periodic benefit costs and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. Additional disclosures required by this ASU include: 1) the weighted-average interest crediting rates used in an entity's cash balance pension plans and other similar plans and 2) explanations for reasons for significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets. All amendments should be applied retrospectively. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 or January 1, 2021 for the Corporation. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statement disclosures but will result in revised disclosures for retirement plans and other postretirement benefits.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." The ASU adds new guidance to simplify accounting for income taxes, changes the accounting for certain income tax transactions and makes minor improvements to the codification. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 or January 1, 2021 for the Corporation. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, "Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321): Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815." This ASU 2020-01 clarifies the interactions between ASC 321, ASC 323 and ASC 815 and addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 or January 1, 2022 for the Corporation. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." The guidance allows for companies to: (1) account for certain contract modifications as a continuation of the existing contract without additional analysis; (2) continue hedge accounting when certain critical terms of a hedging relationship change and assess effectiveness in ways that disregard certain potential sources of ineffectiveness; and (3) make a one-time sale and/or transfer of certain debt securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale or trading. This ASU is available for adoption effective immediately, or as of January 1, 2020 or any date thereafter for the Corporation, and applies prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships. The one-time election to sell and/or transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity may be made at any time after March 12, 2020. The Corporation anticipates adopting this ASU and will continue to analyze the provisions of the ASU in connection with ongoing procedures to monitor the work of the Alternative Rates Committee of the FRB and Federal Reserve Bank of New York in identifying an alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rate. It is too early to predict whether a new rate index replacement and the adoption of the ASU will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

Investment Securities

Securities are classified as investment securities held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost if management has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities purchased with the intention of recognizing short-term profits are placed in the trading account and are carried at fair value. Securities classified as available-for-sale are those securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of estimated income taxes, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders' equity, and credit losses recognized in earnings. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would be based on various factors, including interest rates, changes in the maturity or mix of the Corporation's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other factors. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the expected life of the securities except for premiums on callable debt securities which are amortized to the earliest call date. Due to volatility in the financial markets, there is the risk that any future fair value could vary from that disclosed in the accompanying financial statements. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are recorded on the trade date, determined using the specific identification method and are included in the consolidated statements of income.

The Corporation measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities, which are comprised of U.S. government agency securities and residential mortgage-backed securities. The Corporation's residential mortgage-backed security holdings are issued by U.S. government entities and agencies and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses.

Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities totaled $600 thousand at March 31, 2020 and is included within Accrued interest receivable and other assets. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. Held-to-maturity debt securities are typically classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest. When held-to-maturity debt securities are placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed.

The Corporation measures expected credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities when the Corporation does not intend to sell, or when it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Corporation evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Corporation considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this evaluation indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, equal to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Economic forecast data is utilized to calculate the present value of expected cash flows. The forecast data is obtained via a subscription to a widely recognized and relied upon company who publishes various forecast scenarios. Management evaluates the various scenarios to determine a reasonable and supportable scenario. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when the Corporation believes the collectability of an available-for-sale security is in jeopardy or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $875 thousand at March 31, 2020 and is included within Accrued interest receivable and other assets. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. Available-for-sale debt securities are typically classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest. When available-for-sale debt securities are placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed.

Equity securities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.

Loans and Leases

Loans that the Corporation has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are
10

Table of Contents
reported at amortized cost, which is the principal amount, net of deferred fees and costs, and the allowance for credit losses. Lease financings are stated at net investment amount, consisting of the present value of lease payments and unguaranteed residual value, plus initial direct costs. Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the customers. These commitments represent off-balance sheet items that are unfunded. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet financial instruments. Accrual of interest income on loans and leases ceases when collectability of interest and/or principal is questionable. If it is determined that the collection of interest previously accrued is uncertain, such accrual is reversed and charged to current earnings. Loans and leases are considered past due based upon the failure to comply with contractual terms.

A loan or lease is typically classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan or lease is currently performing. When a loan or lease is classified as nonaccrual, the accrual of interest on such a loan or lease is discontinued. A loan or lease may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan or lease is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed and the amortization of the deferred fees and costs is suspended. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans and leases are either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the ultimate collectability of principal. Loans and leases are usually restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

A loan or lease is classified as a troubled debt restructuring when a concession has been granted to an existing borrower experiencing financial difficulties. The Corporation grants concessions to existing borrowers primarily related to extensions of interest-only payment periods and an occasional payment modification. These modifications typically are for up to one year. The goal when restructuring a credit is to establish a reasonable period of time to provide cash flow relief to customers experiencing cash flow difficulties. Accruing troubled debt restructured loans are primarily comprised of loans on which interest is being accrued under the restructured terms, and the loans are current or less than 90 days past due.

Overdraft deposits are re-classified as loans and are included in the total loans and leases on the balance sheet.

Loan and Lease Fees

Fees collected upon loan or lease origination and certain direct costs of originating loans and leases are deferred and recognized over the contractual lives of the related loans and leases as yield adjustments using the interest method. Upon prepayment or other disposition of the underlying loans and leases before their contractual maturities, any associated unearned fees or unamortized costs are recognized. Initial direct costs, comprised of commissions paid that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained, are deferred and amortized over the life of the contract, and are classified within net interest income on leases.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases

The allowance for credit losses (ACL) on loans and leases is a valuation account that is used to present the net amount expected to be collected on a loan or lease. The ACL for loans and leases is adjusted through provision for credit losses as a charge against, or credit to, earnings. Loans and leases deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the ACL on loans and leases, and any subsequent recoveries are credited to the ACL. Management evaluates the ACL on a quarterly basis. When changes in the reserve are necessary, an adjustment is made.

Management utilizes a discounted cash flow (DCF) model to calculate the present value of the expected cash flows for pools of loans and leases that share similar risk characteristics and compares the results of this calculation to the amortized cost basis to determine its allowance for credit loss balance.

Management uses relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in calculating its ACL. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Management determines whether there is a need to make qualitative adjustments to historical loss information by monitoring certain factors including differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics as well as for changes in external or environmental conditions, or other relevant factors.

The contractual term used in projecting the cash flows of a loan is based on the maturity date of a loan, and is adjusted for prepayment or curtailment assumptions which may shorten that contractual time period. Options to extend are considered by management in determining the contractual term.
11

Table of Contents
The key inputs to the DCF model are (1) probability of default, (2) loss given default, (3) prepayment and curtailment rates, (4) reasonable and supportable economic forecasts, (5) forecast reversion period, (6) expected recoveries on charged off loans, and (7) discount rate.

Probability of Default (PD)

In order to incorporate economic factors into forecasting within the DCF model, management elected to use the Loss Driver method to generate the PD rate inputs. The Loss Driver method analyzes how one or more economic factors change the default rate using a statistical regression analysis. Management selected economic factors that had strong correlations to historical default rates.

Loss Given Default (LGD)

Management elected to use the Frye Jacobs parameter for determining the LGD input, which is an estimation technique that derives a LGD input from segment specific risk curves that correlates LGD with PD.

Prepayment and Curtailment rates

Prepayment Rates: Loan level transaction data is used to calculate a quarterly prepayment rate for each of the most recent four quarters prior to the measurement date. Those quarterly rates are annualized and the average of the annualized rates is used in the DCF calculation for fixed payment or term loans. Rates are calculated for each pool.

Curtailment Rates: Loan level transaction data is used to calculate annual curtailment rates using any available historical loan level data. The average of the historical rates is used in the DCF model for interest only payment or line of credit type loans. Rates are calculated for each pool.

Reasonable and Supportable Forecasts

The forecast data used in the DCF model is obtained via a subscription to a widely recognized and relied upon company who publishes various forecast scenarios. Management evaluates the various scenarios to determine a reasonable and supportable scenario.

Forecast Reversion Period

Management uses forecasts to predict how economic factors will perform and has determined to use a four quarter forecast period as well as a four quarter straight-line reversion period to historical averages (also commonly referred to as the mean reversion period).
Expected Recoveries on Charged-off Loans

Management performs an analysis to estimate recoveries that could be reasonably expected based on historical experience in order to account for expected recoveries on loans that have already been fully charged-off and are not included in the ACL calculation.

Discount Rate

The effective interest rate of the underlying loans and leases of the Corporation serves as the discount rate applied to the expected periodic cash flows. Management adjusts the effective interest rate used to discount expected cash flows to incorporate expected prepayments.

Individual Evaluation

Management evaluates individual instruments for expected credit losses when those instruments do not share similar risk characteristics with instruments evaluated using a collective (pooled) basis. Instruments will not be included in both collective and individual analyses. Individual analysis will establish a specific reserve for instruments in scope. All loans on nonaccrual status are individually evaluated for a specific reserve.

Management considers a financial asset as collateral-dependent when the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral, based on management's assessment as of the reporting date.

Accrued Interest Receivable on Loans and Leases

Accrued interest receivable on loans and leases held for investment totaled $12.4 million at March 31, 2020 and is included within Accrued interest receivable and other assets. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses.

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

The Corporation maintains a reserve in Accrued expenses and other liabilities for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments that are currently unfunded in categories with historical loss experience. Management calculates funding rates using loan level data history at the portfolio level. The most recent quarter’s (the actual measurement quarter) funding rate is subtracted from the maximum historical funding rate which is then applied to each pool’s total available line of credit. The applicable pool level loss rates for the current quarter is then applied to calculate the reserve for unfunded commitments liability each period.

Gross unrealized gains and losses are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded in the provision for credit loss expense. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because debt issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties and mortgage-backed securities typically prepay at a rate faster than contractually due.

Securities with a carrying value of $335.5 million and $340.8 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds deposits and other contractual obligations. In addition, securities of $30.2

At March 31, 2020, the fair value of available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded was $501 thousand, including unrealized losses of $1 thousand. These holdings were comprised of four federal agency mortgage-backed securities, which are U.S. government entities and agencies and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The Corporation does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and is unlikely to be required to sell these securities before a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity. The Corporation concluded that the decline in the value of these securities was not indicative of a credit loss. The Corporation did not recognize any credit losses on these available-for-sale debt securities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 or other-than-temporary impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

At March 31, 2020, no held-to-maturity securities held by the Corporation were in a unrealized loss position. The Corporation did not recognize any credit losses on these held-to-maturity debt securities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 or other-than-temporary impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

At March 31, 2020, the fair value of available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position was $63.2 million, including unrealized losses of $11.9 million, and allowance for credit losses of $897 thousand. These holdings include available-for-sale securities with a fair value of $47.7 million which were in an unrealized loss position of $11.5 million for a period of greater than twelve months. These holdings were comprised of twenty-four investment grade corporate bonds which fluctuate in value based on changes in market conditions, which for these underlying securities is primarily due to changes in the interest rate environment. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not likely that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The underlying issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the securities.

Note 8. Retirement Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

Substantially all employees who were hired before December 8, 2009 are covered by a noncontributory retirement plan. Employees hired on or after December 8, 2009 are not eligible to participate in the noncontributory retirement plan. The Corporation also provides supplemental executive retirement benefits to certain former executives, a portion of which is in excess of limits imposed on qualified plans by federal tax law. This plan is a non-qualified benefit plan. This non-qualified benefit plan is not offered to new participants and all current participants are now retired. Information on these plans are aggregated and reported under “Retirement Plans” within this footnote.

The Corporation also provides certain postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Information on these benefits is reported under “Other Postretirement Benefits” within this footnote.

Note 9. Stock-Based Incentive Plan

The Corporation has a shareholder approved 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which replaced the expired 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan. In December 2018, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved an Amended and Restated Univest 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan) to permit the issuance of restricted stock units.

Beginning in 2019, the Corporation issued to directors and employees (“grantees”) restricted stock units rather than restricted stock awards or stock options, which were issued to grantees in prior reporting periods. Restricted stock units differ
29

Table of Contents
from restricted stock awards in that Corporation stock is not issued to grantees at the date of the grant and the grantee does not have voting or dividend rights during the vesting period. In the following schedules, issued restricted stock units have been combined with restricted stock awards, as the determination of the value at the grant date and methodology for recording stock-based compensation expense is the same for restricted stock units and restricted stock awards.

Note 11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest Rate Swaps

The Corporation may use interest rate swap agreements to modify interest rate characteristics from variable to fixed or fixed to variable in order to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future net interest income. The Corporation’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps includes fair value and any collateral that is held by a third party.

In 2014, the Corporation entered into an amortizing interest rate swap classified as a cash flow hedge with a notional amount of $20.0 million to hedge a portion of the debt financing of a pool of 10-year fixed rate loans with balances totaling $29.1 million, at time of the hedge, that were originated in 2013. A brokered money market demand account with a balance exceeding the amortizing interest rate swap balance is being used for the cash flow hedge. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 2.10% and receives a floating rate of one-month LIBOR. The swap matures in
31

Table of Contents
November 2022. The Corporation performed an assessment of the hedge for effectiveness at the inception of the hedge and on a recurring basis to determine that the derivative has been and is expected to continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. At March 31, 2020, approximately $218 thousand in net deferred losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months. This amount could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations, and the addition of other hedges subsequent to March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2020, the notional amount of the interest rate swap was $16.1 million and the fair value was a liability of $702 thousand.

The Corporation has an interest rate swap with a current notional amount of $273 thousand, for a 15-year fixed rate loan that is earning interest at 7.43%. The Corporation pays a fixed rate of 7.43% and receives a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR plus 224 basis points. The swap matures in April 2022. The interest rate swap is carried at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging." The loan is carried at fair value under the fair value option as permitted by FASB ASC 825 "Financial Instruments."

Credit Derivatives

The Corporation has agreements with third-party financial institutions whereby the third-party financial institution enters into interest rate derivative contracts with loan customers referred to them by the Corporation. By the terms of the agreements, the third-party financial institution has recourse to the Corporation for any exposure created under each swap contract in the event the customer defaults on the swap agreement and the agreement is in a paying position to the third-party financial institution. These transactions represent credit derivatives and are a customary arrangement that allows the Corporation to provide access to interest rate transactions for customers without creating the swap.

At March 31, 2020, the Corporation had forty-six variable-rate to fixed-rate interest rate swap transactions between the third-party financial institution and customers with a current notional amount of $317.7 million and remaining maturities ranging from less than one year to 10 years. At March 31, 2020, the fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap credit derivatives was a liability of $1.1 million. At March 31, 2020, the fair value of the swaps to the customers was a net liability of $29.6 million and these swaps were in paying positions to the third-party financial institution.

The maximum potential payments by the Corporation to the third-party financial institution under these credit derivatives are not estimable as they are contingent on future interest rates and the agreement does not provide for a limitation of the maximum potential payment amount.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

Derivative loan commitments represent agreements for delayed delivery of financial instruments in which the buyer agrees to purchase and the seller agrees to deliver, at a specified future date, a specified instrument at a specified price or yield. The Corporation’s derivative loan commitments are commitments to sell loans secured by 1-to 4-family residential properties whose predominant risk characteristic is interest rate risk.

Derivatives Tables

The following table presents the notional amounts and fair values of derivatives designated as hedging instruments recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Corporation pledges cash or securities to cover the negative fair value of derivative instruments.

Note 12. Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Corporation determines the fair value of financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy. The Corporation maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use

Table of Contents
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Corporation. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Corporation’s assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, including assumptions about risk. Three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. Transfers between levels were recognized at the end of the reporting period for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Level 1: Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation can access at the measurement date. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include: financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash-flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the fair value calculation requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Investment Securities

Where quoted prices are available in an active market for identical instruments, investment securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 investment securities include U.S. Treasury securities, most equity securities and money market mutual funds. Mutual funds are registered investment companies which are valued at net asset value of shares on a market exchange at the end of each trading day. Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy includes securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate and municipal bonds and certain equity securities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. In cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, investment securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Fair values for securities are determined using independent pricing services and market-participating brokers. The Corporation’s independent pricing service utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information for structured securities, cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service’s evaluated pricing applications apply information as applicable through processes, such as benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing, to prepare evaluations. If at any time, the pricing service determines that it does not have sufficient verifiable information to value a particular security, the Corporation will utilize valuations from another pricing service. Management has a sufficient understanding of the third party service’s valuation models, assumptions and inputs used in determining the fair value of securities to enable management to maintain an appropriate system of internal control.

On a quarterly basis, the Corporation reviews changes, as submitted by the pricing service, in the market value of its security portfolio. Individual changes in valuations are reviewed for consistency with general interest rate movements and any known credit concerns for specific securities. If, upon the Corporation’s review or in comparing with another service, a material difference between pricing evaluations were to exist, the Corporation may submit an inquiry to the current pricing service regarding the data used to determine the valuation of a particular security. If the Corporation determines there is market information that would support a different valuation than from the current pricing service’s evaluation, the Corporation may utilize and change the security's valuation. There were no material differences in valuations noted at March 31, 2020.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based upon the estimated amount the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate the contracts or agreements, taking into account current interest rates and, when appropriate, the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. Interest rate swaps and mortgage banking derivative financial instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Credit derivatives are valued based on credit worthiness of the underlying borrower which is a significant unobservable input and therefore classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
34

Table of Contents
One commercial loan associated with an interest rate swap is classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy at March 31, 2020 since lending credit risk is not an observable input for this loan. The unrealized gain on the one loan was $15 thousand at March 31, 2020.

Contingent Consideration Liability

The Corporation estimates the fair value of the contingent consideration liability by using a discounted cash flow model of future contingent payments based on projected revenue related to the acquired business. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability is reviewed on a quarterly basis and any valuation adjustments resulting from a change of estimated future contingent payments based on projected revenue of the acquired business affecting the contingent consideration liability will be recorded through noninterest expense. Due to the significant unobservable input related to the projected revenue, the contingent consideration liability is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. An increase in the projected revenue may result in a higher fair value of the contingent consideration liability. Alternatively, a decrease in the projected revenue may result in a lower estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, classified using the fair value hierarchy:

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating the fair value for financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis in the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed:

Cash and short-term interest-earning assets: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits with other banks and other short-term investments is their stated value. Cash and short-term interest-earning assets are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Held-to-maturity securities: Fair values for the held-to-maturity investment securities are estimated by using pricing models or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and other stock: It is not practical to determine the fair values of Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and other stock, due to restrictions placed on their transferability.

Loans held for sale: The fair value of the Corporation’s mortgage loans held for sale are generally determined using a pricing model based on current market information obtained from external sources, including interest rates, bids or indications provided by market participants on specific loans that are actively marketed for sale. These loans are primarily residential mortgage loans and are generally classified in Level 2 due to the observable pricing data. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value.

Loans and leases held for investment: The fair values for loans and leases held for investment are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using a discount rate based on current interest rates at which similar loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers, adjusted as appropriate to consider credit, liquidity and marketability factors to arrive at a fair value that represents the Corporation's exit price at which these instruments would be sold or transferred. Loans and leases are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy since credit risk is not an observable input.

Individually analyzed loans and leases held for investment: For individually analyzed loans and leases, the Corporation uses a variety of techniques to measure fair value, such as using the current appraised value of the collateral, agreements of sale, discounting the contractual cash flows, and analyzing market data that the Corporation may adjust due to specific characteristics of the loan/lease or collateral. At March 31, 2020, individually analyzed loans held for investment had a carrying amount of
39

Table of Contents
$36.1 million with a valuation allowance of $2.5 million. At December 31, 2019, impaired loans held for investment had a carrying amount of $38.1 million with a valuation allowance of $2.1 million. The Corporation had no individually analyzed leases at March 31, 2020. The Corporation had impaired leases of $277 thousand with no reserve at December 31, 2019.

Servicing rights: The Corporation estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model uses readily available prepayment speed assumptions for the interest rates of the portfolios serviced. Mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based upon management's assessment of the inputs. The Corporation reviews the mortgage servicing rights portfolio on a quarterly basis for impairment and the mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. At March 31, 2020, servicing rights had a carrying amount of $6.4 million with a valuation allowance of $55 thousand. At December 31, 2019, servicing rights carrying amount of $6.6 million with no valuation allowance.

Goodwill and other identifiable assets: Certain non-financial assets subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no required valuation adjustments of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets.

Other real estate owned: The fair value of other real estate owned (OREO) is originally estimated based upon the appraised value less estimated costs to sell. The fair value less cost to sell becomes the "original cost" of the OREO asset. Subsequently, OREO is reported at the lower of the original cost or the current fair value less cost to sell. Capital improvement expenses associated with the construction or repair of the property are capitalized as part of the cost of the OREO asset; however, the capitalized expenses may not increase the OREO asset's recorded value to an amount greater than the asset's fair value after improvements and less cost to sell. New appraisals are generally obtained on an annual basis if an agreement of sale does not exist. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, OREO had a carrying amount of $516 thousand. Other real estate owned is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy due to the unique characteristics of the collateral for each loan.

Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand and savings accounts, with no stated maturities, is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (carrying value) and are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values for time deposits with fixed maturities are estimated by discounting the final maturity using interest rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. Time deposits are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term borrowings: The fair value of short-term borrowings are estimated using current market rates for similar borrowings and are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Long-term debt: The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by using discounted cash flow analysis, based on current market rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Long-term debt is classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Subordinated notes: The fair value of the subordinated notes are estimated by discounting the principal balance using the treasury yield curve for the term to the call date as the Corporation has the option to call the subordinated notes. The subordinated notes are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for the Corporation’s off-balance-sheet instruments are based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing and are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 13. Segment Reporting

At March 31, 2020, the Corporation has three reportable business segments: Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance. The Corporation determines the segments based primarily upon product and service offerings, through the types of income generated and the regulatory environment. This is strategically how the Corporation operates and has positioned itself in the marketplace. Accordingly, significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of each of these segments. The parent holding company and intercompany eliminations are included in the "Other" segment.
Each segment generates revenue from a variety of products and services it provides. Examples of products and services provided for each reportable segment are indicated below.
The Banking segment provides financial services to individuals, businesses, municipalities and nonprofit organizations. These services include a full range of banking services such as deposit taking, loan origination and servicing, mortgage banking, other general banking services and equipment lease financing.
The Wealth Management segment offers trust and investment advisory services, guardian and custodian of employee benefits and other trust and brokerage services, as well as a registered investment advisory managing private investment accounts for both individuals and institutions.
The Insurance segment includes a full-service insurance brokerage agency offering commercial property and casualty insurance, group life and health coverage, employee benefit solutions, personal insurance lines and human resources consulting.
The following table provides total assets by reportable business segment as of the dates indicated.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information contained in this report may contain forward-looking statements. When used or incorporated by reference in disclosure documents, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “target,” “goal” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements include but are not limited to: statements of our goals, intentions and expectations; statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies; statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits. These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to those set forth below:
 
Operating, legal and regulatory risks;
Economic, political and competitive forces impacting various lines of business;
Legislative, regulatory and accounting changes;
Demand for our financial products and services in our market area;
Volatility in interest rates;
Fluctuations in real estate values in our market area;
The composition and credit quality of our loan and investment portfolios;
Changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loans losses;
Our ability to access cost-effective funding;
Our ability to continue to implement our business strategies;
Our ability to manage market risk, credit risk and operational risk;
Timing of revenues and expenditures;
Adverse change in the securities markets;
Our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
Return on investment decisions;
System failures or cyber-security breaches of our information technology infrastructure and those of our third-party service providers;
Our ability to retain key employees;
Other risks and uncertainties, including those occurring in the U.S. and world financial systems; and
The risk that our analysis of these risks and forces could be incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful.

In December 2019, coronavirus (COVID-19) was first reported in China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a worldwide pandemic. On March 12, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home. Given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be reopened. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, our forward-looking statements are subject to the following risks, uncertainties and assumptions:

Demand for our products and services may decline;
44

Table of Contents
If the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase;
Collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value;
Our allowance for credit losses on loans and leases may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties;
The net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline;
As a result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities;
A material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend;
Our wealth management revenues may decline with continuing market turmoil;
Our cyber security risks are increased as a result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; and
FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experience additional resolution costs.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, expected or projected. These and other risk factors are more fully described in this report and in the Univest Financial Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under the section entitled "Item 1A - Risk Factors," and from time to time in other filings made by the Corporation with the SEC.

These forward-looking statements speak only at the date of the report. The Corporation expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly release any updates or revisions to reflect any change in the Corporation’s expectations with regard to any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management, in order to prepare the Corporation’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Corporation’s financial statements. There are uncertainties inherent in making these estimates and assumptions. Certain critical accounting policies could materially affect the results of operations and financial position of the Corporation should changes in circumstances require a change in related estimates or assumptions. The Corporation has identified the fair value measurement of investment securities available-for-sale and the calculation of the reserve for loan and lease losses as critical accounting policies. For more information on these critical accounting policies, please refer to the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for additional information on the adoption of ASC 326, which changes the methodology under which management calculates its reserve for loans and leases, now referred to as the allowance for credit losses. Management considers the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be a critical accounting policy.

The Corporation reported net income of $838 thousand, or $0.03 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to net income of $16.1 million, or $0.55 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The Corporation adopted CECL effective January 1, 2020, as discussed in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Upon adoption, the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases increased by $12.9 million, the allowance for credit losses on investments increased by $300 thousand, and the reserve for unfunded commitments increased by $1.1 million, which, in the aggregate, resulted in an after-tax retained earnings adjustment of $11.3 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Corporation recorded a provision for credit losses on loans and leases of $20.4 million, a provision for credit losses on investment securities of $597 thousand and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $794 thousand. Included within the $21.8 million in provision for credit losses and reserve for unfunded commitments is $20.3 million (after-tax charge of $16.1 million), or $0.55 diluted earnings per share, of expense related to COVID-19, which was the result of economic assumptions within the Corporation’s CECL model. This charge included a provision for credit losses on loans and leases of $19.4 million, a provision for credit losses on investment securities of $536 thousand and a reserve for unfunded commitments of $384 thousand. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $2.7 million. The provision for 2019 included the impact of downgrading one $14.6 million shared national credit loan from pass to substandard.

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2020, included a $652 thousand ($515 thousand after-tax), or $0.02 diluted earnings per share, gain on the sale of investment securities and a $656 thousand ($518 thousand after-tax), or $0.02 diluted earnings per share, charge in other expense related to the extinguishment of long-term debt.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans and leases and investment securities and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is the principal source of the Corporation’s revenue. Table 1 presents a summary of the Corporation’s average balances, tax-equivalent interest income, interest expense, the tax-equivalent yields earned on average assets, the cost of average liabilities, and shareholders’ equity on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The tax-equivalent net interest margin is tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The tax-equivalent net interest spread represents the weighted average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets less the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The effect of net interest-free funding sources represents the effect on the net interest margin of net funding provided by noninterest-earning assets, noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity. Table 2 analyzes the changes in the tax-equivalent net interest income for the periods broken down by their rate and volume components.

Three months ended March 31, 2020 versus 2019

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $43.1 million, an increase of $945 thousand, or 2.2%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in tax-equivalent net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to lower deposit and borrowing costs and growth in loans partially offset by a decrease in yield on loans.

The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 3.48%, compared to 3.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, excess liquidity reduced net interest margin by approximately six basis points and had no impact on the three months ended March 31, 2019. The excess liquidity was primarily driven by strong deposit growth in the period. Purchase accounting accretion had no impact on the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to a favorable impact of approximately one basis point for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Excluding purchase accounting accretion and the impact of excess liquidity, the net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 3.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Interest Income

Three months ended March 31, 2020 versus 2019

Interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $52.7 million, a decrease of $345 thousand, or 0.7%, from the same period in 2019. The slight decrease in interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to the Federal Reserve interest rate reductions of 75 basis in the third and fourth quarter of 2019 and 150 basis points in the first quarter of 2020, offset by increases of $371.2 million in average gross loans and leases held for investment. Purchase accounting accretion had no impact on the rate on interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a favorable impact of one basis point for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Interest Expense

Three months ended March 31, 2020 versus 2019

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $9.6 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 11.9%, from the same period in 2019. Interest expense on average interest-bearing deposits decreased $797 thousand, or 9.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to the Federal Reserve interest rate decreases in 2019 and 2020, offset by the growth in average interest-bearing deposits of $219.6 million, or 7.7%. Additionally, interest expense on borrowings decreased $492 thousand, or 18.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from the same period in 2019, due to a decrease of $77.5 million, or 65.9%, in the average balance of short-term borrowings.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $21.0 million compared to $2.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Net loan and lease charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $489 thousand compared to $447 thousand for the same period in the prior year. Refer to the Executive Overview for discussion of the drivers of provision expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $18.4 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 12.8%, from the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The net gain on mortgage banking activities increased $2.3 million, or 468.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in mortgage volume and an expansion of margins. Net gain on sales of investment securities increased $694 thousand for the quarter primarily due to a $652 thousand gain on the sale of $58.3 million of agency backed mortgage backed securities. Investment advisory commission and fee income increased $466 thousand, or 12.3%, for the three
50

Table of Contents
months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to new customer relationships and appreciation of assets under management, as a majority of investment advisory fees are billed based on the prior quarter-end assets under management balance.

Insurance commission and fee income decreased $412 thousand, or 8.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to a decrease in contingent commission income of $389 thousand, which was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Other service fee income decreased $397 thousand, or 17.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase of $331 thousand of mortgage servicing rights amortization. The increase in amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was primarily driven by the decline in interest rates and their impact on prepayment activity. BOLI income decreased $218 thousand, or 22.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in value of our non-qualified annuity portfolio of $26 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to an increase of $249 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2019, in order to reduce future volatility, the Corporation transferred the funds invested within the non-qualified annuity portfolio to a stable fund investment strategy. Other income decreased $272 thousand, or 80.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily driven by a loss in the value of equity securities measured at fair value of $268 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to a gain of $4 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $39.6 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 11.3%, from the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Salaries, benefits and commissions increased $2.3 million, or 10.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily attributable to additional staff hired, primarily during 2019, to support revenue generation across all business lines, expansion of our commercial lending groups in the first and second quarter of 2019, annual merit increases and increased variable compensation due to strong mortgage banking activity. Data processing expense increased $246 thousand, or 9.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to continued investments in customer relationship management software and internal infrastructure improvements as well as outsourced data processing solutions. Other expense increased $1.6 million, or 31.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to a one-time $656 thousand charge related to the extinguishment of long-term debt and an increase of $794 thousand in the reserve for unfunded commitments, which resulted from the adoption of CECL.

Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $(606) thousand and $3.5 million, at an effective rate of (261.2)% and 17.9%, respectively. The negative effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflects the benefits of tax-exempt income from investments in municipal securities and loans and leases. The calculation of the effective tax rate for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is based on the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date period, given the uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 and its potential impact on the Corporation’s estimate of the annual effective tax rate. The Corporation's effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was favorably impacted by discrete tax benefits. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate was 18.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Cash and Interest-Earning Deposits

Cash and interest-earning deposits increased $57.8 million, or 46.2%, from December 31, 2019, primarily due to increased interest-earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of $56.8 million.

Investment Securities

Total investments securities at March 31, 2020 decreased $18.1 million from December 31, 2019. Sales of $67.0 million, maturities and pay-downs of $18.4 million, calls of $6.9 million, decreases in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities of $4.8 million, provision for credit losses of $897 thousand and net amortization of purchased premiums and discounts of $446 thousand were partially offset by purchases of $80.0 million. The decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities was primarily recorded on the variable rate corporate bond portfolio which was negatively impacted by the sudden decrease in interest rates and the yield curve.

Loans and Leases

Gross loans and leases held for investment grew $62.0 million, or 1.4%, from December 31, 2019. The growth in loans was primarily in commercial real estate and residential real estate loans.

Asset Quality

The Bank's strategy for credit risk management focuses on having well-defined credit policies and uniform underwriting criteria and providing prompt attention to potential problem loans and leases. Performance of the loan and lease portfolio is monitored on a regular basis by Bank management and lending officers.

Nonaccrual loans and leases and accruing troubled debt restructured loans are loans or leases for which it is probable that not all principal and interest payments due will be collectible in accordance with the original contractual terms. Factors considered by management in determining accrual status include payment status, borrower cash flows, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

At March 31, 2020, nonaccrual loans and leases and accruing troubled debt restructured loans were $36.7 million. The related allowance for credit losses on loans and leases was $2.5 million. At December 31, 2019, loans that were considered to be impaired was $38.4 million. The related reserve for loan losses was $2.1 million. Individual reserves have been established based on current facts and management's judgements about the ultimate outcome of these credits. During the first quarter of 2020, three residential real estate loans totaling $710 thousand and two home equity loans totaling $741 thousand were returned to accruing status as these loans have maintained a period of repayment performance in accordance with the Corporation's policy. The amount of the individual reserve needed for these credits could change in future periods subject to changes in facts and judgments related to these credits.

Other real estate owned was $516 thousand at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets have been recorded on the books of the Corporation in connection with acquisitions. The Corporation has core deposit and customer-related intangibles and servicing rights, which are not deemed to have an indefinite life and therefore will continue to be amortized over their useful life using the present value of projected cash flows. The amortization of intangible assets was $982 thousand and $725 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See Note 5 to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for a summary of intangible assets at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Corporation also has goodwill with a net carrying value of $172.6 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which is deemed to be an indefinite intangible asset and is not amortized. The Corporation completes a goodwill impairment analysis at least on an annual basis, or more often if events and circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. The Corporation also completes an impairment test for other identifiable intangible assets on an annual basis or more often if events and circumstances indicate there may be impairment. There was no impairment of goodwill or identifiable intangibles during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. There can be no assurance that future impairment assessments or tests will not result in a charge to earnings.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $47.2 million, or 1.1%, from December 31, 2019, primarily due to increases in commercial and consumer deposits partially offset by a seasonal decrease in public funds deposits.

Borrowings

Total borrowings increased $59.8 million, or 22.7%, from December 31, 2019, primarily due to an increase in long-term borrowings of $60.0 to fund future loan growth.

Other liabilities

The Corporation maintains a reserve in other liabilities for off-balance sheet credit exposures that currently are unfunded in categories with historical loss experience. The reserve for these off-balance sheet credits was $2.4 million and $420 thousand at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The increase of $1.9 million relates to the implementation of ASU 2016-03.

The decrease in shareholders' equity at March 31, 2020 of $23.6 million, or 3.5%, from December 31, 2019 was primarily related to a decrease in retained earnings of $16.3 million. Retained earnings at March 31, 2020 was decreased by $11.3 million upon adoption of CECL and by $5.9 million of cash dividends declared which was partially offset by the three months of net income of $838 thousand. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased by $3.9 million mainly attributable to decreases in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities of $3.8 million, net of tax. Treasury stock increased $3.8 million from December 31, 2019 primarily related to purchases of $4.0 million under the Corporation's share repurchase program.

Discussion of Segments

The Corporation has three operating segments: Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance. Detailed segment information appears in Note 13, "Segment Reporting" included in the Notes to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Banking segment reported pre-tax loss of $1.5 million and a pre-tax income of $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See the section of this MD&A under the heading “Net Interest Income", “Interest Income”, “Interest Expense”, and “Provision for Credit Losses” for a discussion of the Banking Segment.

The Wealth Management segment reported pre-tax income of $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Noninterest income was $6.2 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in pre-tax income and noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to new client relationships and appreciation of assets under management and supervision, as a majority of investment advisory fees are billed based on the prior quarter-end assets under management and supervision balance. Assets under management and supervision were $3.3 billion as of March 31, 2020, $3.8 billion as of December 31, 2019 and $3.6 billion as of March 31, 2019. The decrease in assets under management and supervision of $511 million for the period from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020 was primarily due to the general downturn in the equity markets in March 2020 driven by the impact of COVID-19.

The Insurance segment reported pre-tax income of $1.6 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Noninterest income was $4.9 million and $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in pre-tax income and noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to a decrease in contingent commission income, which was $1.1 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Capital Adequacy

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as set forth in the following table. To comply with the regulatory definition of well capitalized, a depository institution must maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios as set forth in the following table.

Under current rules, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions (including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers), a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer comprised of common equity Tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets. The Corporation's and Bank's intent is to maintain capital levels in excess of the capital conservation buffer, which require Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets to exceed 8.50% and Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets to exceed 10.50%. The Corporation and the Bank were in compliance with these requirements at March 31, 2020.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, management believes that the Corporation and the Bank continued to meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. At March 31, 2020, the Bank is categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

In December 2018, the Federal Reserve announced that a banking organization that experiences a reduction in retained earnings due to the CECL adoption as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which CECL is adopted may elect to phase in the regulatory capital impact of adopting CECL. Transitional amounts are calculated for the following items: retained earnings, temporary difference deferred tax assets and credit loss allowances eligible for inclusion in regulatory capital. When calculating regulatory capital ratios, 25% of the transitional amounts are phased in during the first year. An additional 25% of the transitional amounts are phased in over each of the next two years and at the beginning of the fourth year, the day-one effects of CECL are completely reflected in regulatory capital.
Additionally, in March 2020, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced the 2020 CECL interim final rule (IFR) designed to allow eligible firms to better focus on supporting lending to creditworthy households and businesses in light of recent strains on the U.S. economy as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The 2020 CECL IFR allows Corporations that adopt CECL before December 31, 2020 to defer 100 percent of the day one transitional amounts described above through
57

Table of Contents
December 31, 2021 for regulatory capital purposes. Additionally, the 2020 CECL IFR allows electing firms to defer through December 31, 2021 the approximate portion of the post day-one allowance attributable to CECL relative to the incurred loss methodology. This is calculated by applying a 25% scaling factor to the CECL provision.
The Corporation adopted the transition guidance and the 2020 CECL IFR relief and applied these effects to regulatory capital in the first quarter of 2020 upon adoption of CECL. See Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for additional information on the adoption of CECL.

Asset/Liability Management

The primary functions of Asset/Liability Management are to assure adequate earnings, capital and liquidity while maintaining an appropriate balance between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Management's objective with regard to interest rate risk is to understand the Corporation's sensitivity to changes in interest rates and develop and implement strategies to minimize volatility while maximizing net interest income.

The Corporation uses gap analysis and earnings at risk simulation modeling to quantify exposure to interest rate risk. The Corporation uses the gap analysis to identify and monitor long-term rate exposure and uses a simulation model to measure short-term rate exposure. The Corporation runs various earnings simulation scenarios to quantify the impact of declining or rising interest rates on net interest income over a one-year and two-year horizon. The simulation uses expected cash flows and repricing characteristics for all financial instruments at a point in time and incorporates company-developed, market-based assumptions regarding growth, pricing, and optionality such as prepayment speeds. As interest rates increase, fixed-rate assets that banks hold tend to decrease in value; conversely, as interest rates decline, fixed-rate assets that banks hold tend to increase in value.

Liquidity

The Corporation, in its role as a financial intermediary, is exposed to certain liquidity risks. Liquidity refers to the Corporation’s ability to ensure that sufficient cash flows and liquid assets are available to satisfy demand for loans, deposit withdrawals, repayment of borrowings and certificates of deposit at maturity, operating expense, and capital expenditures. The Corporation manages liquidity risk by measuring and monitoring liquidity sources and estimated funding needs on a daily basis. The Corporation has a contingency funding plan in place to address liquidity needs in the event of an institution-specific or a systemic financial crisis.

Sources of Funds

Core deposits continue to be the largest significant funding source for the Corporation. These deposits are primarily generated from individuals, businesses, municipalities and non-profit customers located in our primary service areas. The Corporation faces increased competition for these deposits from a large array of financial market participants, including banks, credit unions, savings institutions, mutual funds, security dealers and others.

As part of its diversified funding strategy, the Corporation also utilizes a mix of short-term and long-term wholesale funding providers. Wholesale funding includes federal funds purchases from correspondent banks, secured borrowing lines from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and, at times, brokered deposits and other similar sources.

Cash Requirements

The Corporation has cash requirements for various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commitments that require cash payments. The most significant contractual obligation, in both the under and over one-year time period, is for the Bank to repay certificates of deposit and long-term borrowings. The Bank anticipates meeting these obligations by continuing to provide convenient depository and cash management services through its financial center network, thereby replacing these contractual obligations with similar fund sources at rates that are competitive in our market. The Bank will also use borrowings and brokered deposits to meet its obligations.

Commitments to extend credit are the Bank’s most significant commitment in both the under and over one-year time periods. These commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

Recent Regulatory and Legislative Developments

Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus

On March 22, 2020, the federal banking agencies issued an interagency statement to provide additional guidance to financial institutions who are working with borrowers affected by COVID-19. The statement provided that agencies will not criticize institutions for working with borrowers and will not direct supervised institutions to automatically categorize all COVID-19 related loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). The agencies have confirmed with staff of the Financial Accounting Standards Board that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented.

The statement further provided that working with borrowers that are current on existing loans, either individually or as part of a program for creditworthy borrowers who are experiencing short-term financial or operational problems as a result of COVID-19, generally would not be considered TDRs. For modification programs designed to provide temporary relief for current borrowers affected by COVID-19, financial institutions may presume that borrowers that are current on payments are not experiencing financial difficulties at the time of the modification for purposes of determining TDR status, and thus no further TDR analysis is required for each loan modification in the program.

The statement indicated that the agencies’ examiners will exercise judgment in reviewing loan modifications, including TDRs, and will not automatically adversely risk rate credits that are affected by COVID-19, including those considered TDRs.

In addition, the statement noted that efforts to work with borrowers of one- to-four family residential mortgages, where the loans are prudently underwritten, and not past due or carried on non-accrual status, will not result in the loans being considered restructured or modified for the purposes of their risk-based capital rules. With regard to loans not otherwise reportable as past due, financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”)

The CARES Act, which became law on March 27, 2020, provided over $2 trillion to combat the coronavirus (COVID-19) and stimulate the economy. The law had several provisions relevant to financial institutions, including:

Allowing institutions not to characterize loan modifications relating to the COVID-19 pandemic as a troubled debt restructuring and also allowing them to suspend the corresponding impairment determination for accounting purposes.

Temporarily reducing the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (the “CBLR”) to 8%. This law also states that if a qualifying community bank falls below the CBLR, it “shall have a reasonable grace period to satisfy” the CBLR. This provision terminates on the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date the President declares that the coronavirus emergency is terminated.

A delay in the implementation of the accounting standard for current expected credit losses (CECL) until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or when the President declares that the coronavirus emergency is terminated.

The ability of a borrower of a federally backed mortgage loan (VA, FHA, USDA, Freddie and Fannie) experiencing financial hardship due, directly or indirectly, to the COVID-19 pandemic to request forbearance from paying their mortgage by submitting a request to the borrower’s servicer affirming their financial hardship during the COVID-19 emergency. Such a forbearance will be granted for up to 180 days, which can be extended for an additional 180-day period upon the request of the borrower. During that time, no fees, penalties or interest beyond the amounts scheduled or calculated as if the borrower made all contractual payments on time and in full under the mortgage contract will

Table of Contents
accrue on the borrower’s account. Except for vacant or abandoned property, the servicer of a federally backed mortgage is prohibited from taking any foreclosure action, including any eviction or sale action, for not less than the 60-day period beginning March 18, 2020.

The ability of a borrower of a multi-family federally backed mortgage loan that was current as of February 1, 2020, to submit a request for forbearance to the borrower’s servicer affirming that the borrower is experiencing financial hardship during the COVID-19 emergency. A forbearance will be granted for up to 30 days, which can be extended for up to two additional 30-day periods upon the request of the borrower. During the time of the forbearance, the multi-family borrower cannot evict or initiate the eviction of a tenant or charge any late fees, penalties or other charges to a tenant for late payment of rent. Additionally, a multi-family borrower that receives a forbearance may not require a tenant to vacate a dwelling unit before a date that is 30 days after the date on which the borrower provides the tenant notice to vacate and may not issue a notice to vacate until after the expiration of the forbearance.

The Paycheck Protection Program

The CARES Act provides approximately $350 billion to fund loans to eligible small businesses through the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) 7(a) loan guaranty program. These loans will be 100% federally guaranteed (principal and interest) through December 31, 2020. An eligible business can apply for a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan up to 2.5 times its average monthly “payroll costs" limited to a loan amount of $10.0 million. The proceeds of the loan can be used for payroll (excluding individual employee compensation over $100,000 per year), mortgage, interest, rent, insurance, utilities and other qualifying expenses. PPP loans will have: (a) an interest rate of 1.0%, (b) a two-year loan term to maturity; and (c) principal and interest payments deferred for six months from the date of disbursement. The SBA will guarantee 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be reduced by the loan forgiveness amount under the PPP so long as employee and compensation levels of the business are maintained and 75% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll expenses, with the remaining 25% of the loan proceeds used for other qualifying expenses.

The Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility

On April 9, 2020, the Federal Reserve Board created the Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility (the “Facility”) to facilitate lending by eligible borrowers to small businesses under the Paycheck Protection Program. Under the Facility, the Federal Reserve Banks will lend to depository institutions that originated PPP loans on a non-recourse basis, taking the PPP Loans as collateral. Only PPP loans guaranteed by the SBA are eligible to serve as collateral for the Facility. The maturity date of an extension of credit under the Facility will equal the maturity date of the PPP Loan pledged to secure the extension of credit. The maturity date of the Facility’s extension of credit will be accelerated if the underlying PPP Loan goes into default and the eligible borrower sells the PPP Loan to the SBA to realize on the SBA guarantee. The maturity date of the Facility’s extension of credit also will be accelerated to the extent of any loan forgiveness reimbursement received by the eligible borrower from the SBA. Extensions of credit under the Facility will be made at a rate of 35 basis points. There are no fees associated with the Facility. The principal amount of an extension of credit under the Facility will be equal to the principal amount of the PPP Loan pledged as collateral to secure the extension of credit.

The Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act

On April 23, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “PPP Enhancement Act”) was signed into law, which provides $310 billion in additional funding (the “New PPP Funds”) to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program previously established by the CARES Act. This increases the PPP’s original funding limit of $349 billion to $659 billion, as the original funds were fully exhausted by PPP borrowers. To ensure businesses have access to PPP loans from smaller lenders, the PPP Enhancement Act requires that a portion of the New PPP Funds are allocated to smaller insured depository institutions, federal and state credit unions and “community financial institutions,” which includes community development and minority-owned financial institutions. Specifically: (1) $30 billion of the New PPP Funds must be used for PPP loans made by (a) community financial institutions, (b) insured depository institutions with consolidated assets of less than $10 billion and (b) credit unions with consolidated assets of less than $10 billion; and (2) an additional $30 billion of the New PPP Funds must be used for PPP loans made by insured depository institutions and credit unions with consolidated assets between $10 billion and $50 billion. The foregoing allocations do not prohibit smaller institutions and community financial institutions from making PPP loans above their respective allocation amounts. Rather, institutions with $50 billion or more in consolidated assets and non-bank lenders would not have access to $60 billion of the New PPP Funds.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is responsible for the disclosure controls and procedures of the Corporation. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be so disclosed by an issuer is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Effective January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted CECL. The Corporation designed new controls and modified existing controls as part of this adoption. These additional controls over financial reporting included controls over model creation and design, model governance, assumptions, and expanded controls over loan level data. There were no other changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Corporation is periodically subject to various pending and threatened legal actions, which involve claims for monetary relief. Based upon information presently available to the Corporation, it is the Corporation's opinion that any legal and financial responsibility arising from such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following risk factor represents material updates and additions to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, to the extent that any of the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitutes forward-looking statements, the risk factor set forth below also is a cautionary statement identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.

The economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2019, coronavirus (COVID-19) was first reported in China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a worldwide pandemic. On March 12, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home. This has resulted in an unprecedented slow-down in economic activity and a related increase in unemployment. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, stock markets have declined in value and in particular bank stocks have significantly declined in value. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Federal Reserve has reduced the benchmark fed funds rate to a target range of 0% to 0.25%, and the yields on 10- and 30-year treasury notes have declined to historic lows. Various state governments and

federal agencies are requiring lenders to provide forbearance and other relief to borrowers (e.g., waiving late payment and other fees). The federal banking agencies have encouraged financial institutions to prudently work with affected borrowers and recently passed legislation has provided relief from reporting loan classifications due to modifications related to the COVID-19 outbreak. Certain industries have been particularly hard-hit, including the travel and hospitality industry, the restaurant industry and the retail industry. Finally, the spread of the coronavirus has caused us to modify our business practices, including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences. We have many employees working remotely and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners.

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be reopened. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

Demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;
If the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income;
Collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase;
Our allowance for credit losses on loans and leases may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect our net income;
The net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us.
As a result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income;
A material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend,
Our wealth management revenues may decline with continuing market turmoil;
Our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely;
We rely on third party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on us; and
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums may increase if the agency experience additional resolution costs.

Moreover, our future success and profitability substantially depends on the management skills of our executive officers and directors, many of whom have held officer and director positions with us for many years. The unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the outbreak could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy. We may not be successful in finding and integrating suitable successors in the event of key employee loss or unavailability.
