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-period presentation. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2021 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, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021.

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 determination of the allowance for credit losses.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2021

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) the 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. These amendments are to be applied retrospectively. This ASU became effective on January 1, 2021 for the Corporation. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statement disclosures but will result in the elimination of certain disclosures for retirement plans and other postretirement benefits in the Form 10-K.

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 became effective on January 1, 2021 for the Corporation. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to Be Adopted

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
7


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.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)." This guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in the ASU also simplify the guidance in ASC 815-40 by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and require entities to presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. 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 January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, which refines the scope of ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", and clarifies some of its guidance as part of the Board’s monitoring of global reference rate reform activities. The ASU permits entities to elect certain optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, for computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest in connection with reference rate reform activities under way in global financial markets (the “discounting transition”). This ASU is available for adoption retrospective to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from January 7, 2021, through December 31, 2022, at which time transition is expected to be complete. The Corporation will analyze the potential impact of the provisions of this ASU in connection with its ongoing evaluation of ASU No. 2020-04.

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 $248.9 million and $249.6 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds deposits and other contractual obligations. In addition, securities of $15.5 million and $32.6 million were pledged to secure credit derivatives and interest rate swaps at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. See Note 11, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for additional information.

At March 31, 2021, the fair value of held-to-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded was $4.5 million, including unrealized losses of $157 thousand. These holdings were comprised of two 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 did not recognize any credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 or March 31, 2020. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities totaled $357 thousand at March 31, 2021 and is included within Accrued interest receivable and other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses.

At March 31, 2021, 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 $77.5 million, including unrealized losses of $1.9 million. These holdings were comprised of sixteen 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 fair value of these securities was not indicative of a credit loss. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $602 thousand at March 31, 2021 and is included within Accrued interest receivable and other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses.

The table below presents a rollforward by major security type for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of the allowance for credit losses on securities available-for-sale.

At March 31, 2021, the fair value of available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has been recorded was $52.6 million, including unrealized losses of $820 thousand, and allowance for credit losses of $485 thousand. These holdings were comprised of thirteen investment grade corporate bonds which fluctuate in value based on changes in market conditions. For these securities, fluctuations were 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. The reversal of the provision for credit losses of $403 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily related to the improvement in fair value of six underlying securities that are tied to the 10-year swap curve which had significantly steepened during the quarter.

The Corporation recognized a $115 thousand net gain and a $268 thousand net loss on equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in other noninterest income. There were no sales of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or March 31, 2020.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Corporation categorizes risk based on relevant information about the ability of the borrower to service their debt. Loans with a relationship balance of less than $1 million are reviewed when necessary based on their performance, primarily when such loans are delinquent. Loans with relationships greater than $1 million are reviewed at least annually. Loan relationships with a higher risk profile or classified as special mention or substandard are reviewed at least quarterly. The Corporation reviews credit quality indicators on at least an annual basis and last completed this review in conjunction with the period ended December 31, 2020. The following is a description of the internal risk ratings and the likelihood of loss related to the credit quality of Commercial, financial and agricultural loans, Paycheck Protection Program loans, Real-estate commercial loans, Real-estate construction loans and Real-estate residential secured for a business purpose loans.

16


1.Pass—Loans considered satisfactory with no indications of deterioration
2.Special Mention—Potential weakness that deserves management's close attention
3.Substandard—Well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt
4.Doubtful—Collection or liquidation in-full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the following table presents the recorded investment in loans and leases held for investment for Commercial, financial and agricultural loans, Paycheck Protection Program loans, Real-estate commercial loans, Real-estate construction loans and Real-estate residential secured for a business purpose loans by credit quality indicator at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Corporation previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 that it expected to make contributions of $156 thousand to its non-qualified retirement plans and $94 thousand to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation contributed $39 thousand to its non-qualified retirement plans and $27 thousand to its other postretirement plans. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, $664 thousand was paid to participants from the retirement plans and $27 thousand was paid to participants from the other postretirement plans.

Note 9. Stock-Based Incentive Plan

The Corporation maintains the 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 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.

Note 11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest Rate Swaps

The Corporation periodically uses 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 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, 2021, approximately $233 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, 2021. At March 31, 2021, the notional amount of the interest rate swap was $15.3 million and the fair value was a liability of $450 thousand.

The Corporation has an interest rate swap with a current notional amount of $147 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 swap transactions for customers without issuing the swap.

At March 31, 2021, the Corporation reported 110 variable-rate to fixed-rate interest rate swap transactions between the third-party financial institution and customers with a current notional amount of $707.3 million and remaining maturities ranging from 12 months to 10 years. At March 31, 2021, the fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap credit derivatives was a liability of $271 thousand. At March 31, 2021, the fair value of the swaps to the customers was a net liability of $15.5 million and these swaps were in paying positions to the third-party financial institution.
29


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.

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 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.
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.
31


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, 2021.

Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of our loans held for sale is based on estimates using Level 2 inputs. These inputs are based on pricing information obtained from wholesale mortgage banks and brokers and applied to loans with similar interest rates and maturities.

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.

One commercial loan associated with an interest rate swap is classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy at March 31, 2021 since lending credit risk is not an observable input for this loan. The unrealized gain on the one loan was $4 thousand at March 31, 2021.

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
32


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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, classified using the fair value hierarchy:

The $9.6 million of corporate bonds was comprised of one investment grade bond and the Corporation utilizes a third party to estimate fair value. The value is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis which utilizes a probability of default input. The $271 thousand of credit derivatives liability represents the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA), which is obtained from real-time financial market data, of 110 interest rate swaps with a current notional amount of $707.3 million. The March 31, 2021 CVA assumes a zero-deal recovery percentage based on the most recent index credit curve.

The Corporation may be required to periodically measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or changes in the value of loans held for investment analyzed on an individual basis. The following table represents assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

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 condensed 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: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. 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 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, 2021, individually analyzed loans held for investment had a carrying amount of $29.8 million with a valuation allowance of $281 thousand. At December 31, 2020, individually analyzed loans held for investment had a carrying amount of $31.5 million with a valuation allowance of $585 thousand. The Corporation had no individually analyzed leases at March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Servicing rights: The Corporation estimates the fair value of 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. Servicing rights are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based upon management's assessment of the inputs. The Corporation reviews the servicing rights portfolio on a quarterly basis for impairment and the servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. At March 31, 2021, servicing rights had a net carrying amount of $7.0 million, which included a valuation allowance of $1 thousand. At December 31, 2020, servicing rights had a net carrying amount of $6.5 million, which included a valuation allowance of $87 thousand.

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, 2021, there were no required valuation adjustments of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets.

Other real estate owned: Other real estate owned (OREO) represents properties that the Corporation has acquired through foreclosure by either accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by taking possession of assets that were used as loan collateral. The Corporation reports OREO at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell, adjusted periodically based on a current appraisal or an executed agreement of sale. Capital improvement expenses associated with the construction or repair of the property are capitalized as part of the cost of the OREO asset. Write-downs and any gain or loss upon the sale of OREO is recorded in other noninterest income. OREO is reported in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, three commercial real estate properties were transferred to OREO with a carrying balance of $126 thousand. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, OREO had a carrying amount of $7.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively. Other real estate owned is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy due to the unique characteristics of the collateral for each loan.

37


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.

Note 13. Segment Reporting

At March 31, 2021, 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 as follows:
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 investment advisory, financial planning, trust and brokerage services. The Wealth Management segment serves a diverse client base of private families and individuals, municipal pension plans, retirement plans, trusts and guardianships.
The Insurance segment includes a full-service insurance brokerage agency offering commercial property and casualty insurance, 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 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;
Major catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods or other natural or human disasters and infectious disease outbreaks, including the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the related disruption to local, regional and global economic activity and financial markets, and the impact that any of the foregoing may have on us and our customers and other constituencies;
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, classified and criticized loans and charge-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit 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 revenue and expenditures;
Adverse changes in the securities markets;
Our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
Competition for loans and deposits;
System failures or cyber-security breaches of our information technology infrastructure and those of our third-party service providers;
The failure to maintain current technologies and to successfully implement future information technology enhancements;
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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home. While jurisdictions in which we operate have gradually allowed the reopening of businesses and other organizations and removed the sheltering restrictions, it is premature to assess whether doing so will result in a meaningful increase in economic activity and the impact of such actions on further COVID-19 cases. Given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the
40


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. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, our forward-looking statements are also subject to the following risks, uncertainties and assumptions:

Demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;
If the economy is unable to remain open, and higher levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charge-offs 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 increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, 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;
A sustained decline in our stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could result in a goodwill or intangible impairment charge being recorded that would adversely impact our results of operations and the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us;
A material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in the elimination of or 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;
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
FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experience additional resolution costs; and
We face litigation, regulatory enforcement and reputation risk as a result of our participation in the PPP and the risk that the Small Business Administration may not fund some or all PPP loan guaranties.

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, 2020 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 allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, as critical accounting policies. For more information on these critical accounting policies, please refer to the Corporation’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Executive Overview

The Corporation’s consolidated net income, earnings per share and return on average assets and average equity were as follows:

The Corporation reported net income of $32.6 million, or $1.11 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net income of $838 thousand, or $0.03 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Corporation recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses of $11.3 million, of which $12.9 million (after-tax benefit of $10.2 million), or $0.35 diluted earnings per share, was attributable to favorable changes in economic-related assumptions within the Corporation’s CECL model partially offset by a reserve increase attributable to loan growth. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $21.8 million of which $20.3 million (after-tax charge of $16.1 million), or $0.55 diluted earnings per share, was attributable to adverse changes in economic-related assumptions.

On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, was signed into law, which provides new COVID-19 relief funds, additional funding under the PPP and the establishment of PPP Second Draw Loans. The Small Business Administration (SBA) announced the taking of certain steps under the PPP to further promote equitable relief for smaller businesses. Under this program, we successfully originated approximately 1,200 PPP loans and secured funding of approximately $168.6 million for our customers as of April 15, 2021. During the quarter, we recorded income of $4.5 million within net interest income related to these loans, of which $2.3 million was the result of forgiveness and pay downs of PPP loans totaling $119.7 million. As of March 31, 2021, the Corporation had $9.5 million of net deferred fees on our balance sheet related to PPP loans.

Results of Operations

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 the Corporation’s average balances, tax-equivalent interest income, interest expense, tax-equivalent yields earned on average assets, cost of average liabilities, and shareholders’ equity on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The tax-equivalent net interest margin is tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning
42


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, 2021 versus 2020

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $46.0 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 6.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in tax-equivalent net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to same period in the prior year was primarily due to $4.5 million in PPP income, a $3.5 million decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and growth in loans partially offset by a decrease in loan and investment yields.

The net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 3.48% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Excess liquidity reduced net interest margin by approximately eleven basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to six basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This excess liquidity was primarily driven by strong deposit balance growth over the last twelve months, which was partially attributable to the various stimulus initiatives associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. PPP loans had a favorable impact on net interest margin of four basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to no impact for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Excluding the impact of excess liquidity and PPP loans, the net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.19% and 3.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

Provision for Credit Losses

The reversal of the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $11.3 million, of which $12.9 million (after-tax benefit of $10.2 million) was attributable to favorable changes in economic-related assumptions within the Corporation's CECL model partially offset by a reserve increase attributable to loan growth. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $21.8 million, of which $20.3 million was attributable to adverse changes in economic-related assumptions. Net loan and lease charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $288 thousand compared to $489 thousand for the same period in the prior year.

Three months ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $23.3 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 26.5%, from the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The net gain on mortgage banking activities increased $3.2 million, or 116.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in the prior year due to an increase in volume and an expansion of margins. Investment advisory commission and fee income increased $442 thousand, or 10.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in the prior year due to increased assets under management driven by favorable market conditions and new customer relationships. Insurance commission and fee income increased $223 thousand, or 4.7%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in premiums for group life and health and commercial lines and an increase in contingent commission income of $36 thousand, which was $1.1 million for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Contingent commission income is largely recognized in the first quarter of the year.

Other income increased $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to an increase of $967 thousand in fees on risk participation agreements for interest rate swaps driven by increased customer activity due to the current rate environment. Additionally, equity securities measured at fair value increased $384 thousand for the quarter.

Three months ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020

Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $39.5 million, an increase of $763 thousand, or 2.0%, from the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Salaries, benefits and commissions increased $944 thousand, or 4.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily attributable to additional staff hired to support revenue generation across all business lines, annual merit increases and increased variable compensation due to strong pre-tax pre-provision income during the first quarter of 2021. The increases in salaries, benefits and commissions were offset by $582 thousand of incremental capitalized compensation related to the origination of PPP loans. Professional fees increased $431 thousand, or 32.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in the prior year primarily attributable to increased consultant fees in support of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and training initiatives. Data processing expenses increased $290 thousand, or 10.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to continued investments in customer relationship management software, internal infrastructure improvements and outsourced data processing solutions. Deposit insurance premiums increased $132 thousand, or 26.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to an increased assessment base due to asset growth.

Other expense decreased $947 thousand, or 15.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to a $656 thousand charge related to the extinguishment of long-term debt that occurred in the first quarter of 2020 and a $295 thousand decrease in travel and entertainment expenses due to COVID-19 related restrictions.

Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $7.8 million and $(606) thousand, respectively, at effective tax rates of 19.3% and (261.2)%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 reflect 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 quarter ended March 31, 2020 was based on the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date period, given the uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 at the time, and its potential impact on the Corporation’s estimate of the annual effective tax rate.

Cash and Interest-Earning Deposits

Cash and interest-earning deposits decreased $32.5 million, or 14.8%, from December 31, 2020, primarily due to decreased cash letters of $24.1 million and decreased interest earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of $8.1 million.

Investment Securities

Total investments securities at March 31, 2021 increased $4.3 million, or 1.2%, from December 31, 2020. Purchases of $39.3 million, increases in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities of $1.7 million and a reversal of provision for credit losses of $384 thousand were partially offset by maturities and pay-downs of $29.6 million, sales of $3.6 million, calls of $3.3 million and net amortization of purchased premiums and discounts of $806 thousand.

Loans and Leases

Gross loans and leases held for investment increased $108.2 million, or 2.0%, from December 31, 2020. The growth in gross loans and leases held for investment was due to increases in commercial real estate loans of $72.8 million and PPP loan increases of $44.7 million.

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, 2021, nonaccrual loans and leases and accruing troubled debt restructured loans were $30.0 million and had a related allowance for credit losses on loans and leases of $281 thousand. At December 31, 2020, nonaccrual loans and leases and accruing troubled debt restructured loans were $31.7 million and had a related allowance for credit losses on loans and leases of $585 thousand. Individual reserves have been established based on current facts and management's judgements about the ultimate outcome of these credits, including the most recent known data available on any related underlying collateral and
48


the borrower's cash flows. During the first quarter of 2021, three commercial real estate loans to one borrower totaling $126 thousand were transferred from nonaccrual loans to other real estate owned.

Other real estate owned was $7.5 million and $7.4 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

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 $1.0 million and $982 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

50


The Corporation also has goodwill with a net carrying value of $172.6 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, which is deemed to be an indefinite intangible asset and is not amortized. The Corporation completes a goodwill impairment analysis 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, 2021 and 2020. There can be no assurance that future impairment assessments or tests will not result in a charge to earnings.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $68.9 million, or 1.3%, from December 31, 2020, primarily due to increases in consumer and commercial deposits offset by a decrease in public funds and brokered deposits.

Borrowings

Total borrowings decreased $16.1 million, or 5.2%, from December 31, 2020. Long-term debt decreased $15.0 million primarily due to maturities of FHLB advances and subordinated notes decreased $9.8 million primarily due to a $10.0 million redemption of previously issued subordinated notes. These decreases were partially offset by an $8.8 million increase in short-term customer repurchase agreements.

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 $2.5 million and $2.4 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The increase was due to lower line utilization, which results in higher potential funding amounts.
Shareholders’ Equity

The following table presents total shareholders’ equity at the dates indicated:

Total shareholders' equity increased $30.0 million, or 4.3%, from December 31, 2020. Retained earnings at March 31, 2021 increased by $26.7 million primarily due to net income of $32.6 million offset by $5.9 million of cash dividends declared and paid for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased by $1.7 million mainly

attributable to increases in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities of $1.4 million, net of tax. Treasury stock decreased $1.6 million from December 31, 2020 primarily due to stock issued under dividend reinvestment and employee stock purchase plans and stock-based incentive plan activity.

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 income of $40.0 million and pre-tax loss of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. See the section of this MD&A under the headings "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 $2.4 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Noninterest income was $6.8 million and $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in pre-tax income and noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to 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 $4.2 billion as of March 31, 2021, $4.1 billion as of December 31, 2020, $3.3 billion as of March 31, 2020 and $3.8 billion as of December 31, 2019. The increase in assets under management and supervision of $116.1 million for the period from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 and $926.7 million for the period from March 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 was primarily due to the general improvement in the equity markets and new customer relationships.

The Insurance segment reported pre-tax income of $1.6 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Noninterest income was $5.1 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in insurance commissions of $127 thousand compared to the same period in the prior year.

Capital Adequacy

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum capital 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 2.50% 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 requires 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, 2021.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, management believes that the Corporation and the Bank continued to meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. At March 31, 2021, the Bank is categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since 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 adopted CECL before December 31, 2020 to defer 100 percent of the day one transitional amounts described above through
53


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.

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

Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021

On December 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 ("CRRSA Act") was signed into law, which contains provisions that could directly impact financial institutions including: (1) extending until January 1, 2022 when insured depository institutions and depository institution holding companies have to comply with the current expected credit losses (CECL) accounting standard; and (2) extending until January 1, 2022 the authority granted to banks under the CARES Act to elect to temporarily suspend the requirements under U.S. GAAP applicable to troubled debt restructurings for loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic for any loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The CRRSA Act directs financial regulators to support community development financial institutions and minority depository institutions and directs Congress to re-appropriate $429 billion in unobligated CARES Act funds. The PPP, which was originally established under the CARES Act, was also extended under the CRRSA Act.
