Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
(Dollars in thousands, except for per share amounts) 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Organization
In this report, the words “Veritex,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the combined entities of Veritex Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Veritex Community Bank. The word “Holdco” refers to Veritex Holdings, Inc. The word “the Bank” refers to Veritex Community Bank.
Veritex is a Texas state banking organization, with corporate offices in Dallas, Texas, and currently operates 18 branches located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and 10 branches in the Houston metropolitan area. The Bank provides a full range of banking services, including commercial and retail lending and the acceptance of checking and savings deposits, to individual and corporate customers. The Texas Department of Banking and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) are the primary regulators of the Company and the Bank, and both regulatory agencies perform periodic examinations to ensure regulatory compliance.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Veritex Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Veritex Community Bank.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), but do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. In management’s opinion, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, consolidated statements of income, consolidated changes in stockholders’ equity and consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end and the results for the interim periods shown herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year due in part to global economic and financial market conditions, interest rates, access to sources of liquidity, market competition and interruptions of business processes. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions may also affect disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Segment Reporting
    The Company has one reportable segment. All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent and assessed based on how each activity of the Company supports the others. For example, lending is dependent upon the ability of the Company to fund itself with deposits and borrowings while managing interest rate and credit risk. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis of the Bank as one segment or unit. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker, the Chief Executive Officer, uses the consolidated results to make operating and strategic decisions.

Transfers of debt securities from AFS to HTM

Transfers of debt securities into the HTM category from the AFS category are made at fair value at the date of transfer. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of transfer is retained in other comprehensive income and in the carrying value of the HTM securities. Such amounts are amortized over the remaining life of the security.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) ASU 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” (“ASU 2022-01”) clarifies the guidance in ASC 815 on fair value hedge accounting of interest rate risk for portfolios and financial assets. Among other things, the amended guidance established the “last-of-layer” method for making the fair value hedge accounting for these portfolios more accessible and renamed that method the “portfolio layer” method. ASU 2022-01 is effective January 1, 2023 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2022-02”) eliminates the guidance on troubled debt restructurings and requires entities to evaluate all loan modifications to determine if they result in a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. ASU 2022-02 also requires that entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for loans and leases. ASU 2022-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2022-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Management evaluates AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Consideration is given to (1) the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
The number of AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position totaled 157 and 34 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Management does not have the intent to sell any of these debt securities and believes that it is more
15


likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such debt securities before a recovery of cost. The fair value is expected to recover as the debt securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022, management believes that the unrealized losses detailed in the previous table are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in interest rates and other market conditions, and therefore no losses have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
    The amortized costs and estimated fair values of AFS debt securities, by contractual maturity, as of the dates indicated, are shown in the table below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, and collateralized loan obligations typically are issued with stated principal amounts, and the securities are backed by pools of mortgage loans and other loans that have varying maturities. The terms of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, and collateralized loan obligations thus approximates the terms of the underlying mortgages and loans and can vary significantly due to prepayments. Therefore, these securities are not included in the maturity categories below.

Included in the total LHI, net, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was an accretable discount related to purchased performing and purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans acquired in the approximate amounts of $8,923 and $8,657, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased $183,188 in pooled residential real estate loans at a net discount of $2,502. The discount is being accreted into income on a level-yield basis over the life of the loans. In addition, included in the net loan portfolio as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is a discount on retained loans from sale of originated U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) loans of $4,027 and $3,430, respectively.
LHI, PPP loans, carried at fair value
Included in total LHI, net, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $7,339 and $53,369, respectively, of PPP loans, which are carried at fair value. The following table summarizes the PPP fee income and net gain due to the change in the fair value of PPP loans, both of which are included in government guaranteed loan income, net, on the Company's consolidated statements of income and in change in fair value of government guaranteed loans using fair value option on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows:

Net gain due to the change in fair value56 622 231 335 
These PPP loans were originated through an application to the SBA under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and are 100% forgivable if certain criteria are met by the borrowers. As of June 30, 2022, we believe a majority of the Company’s PPP loans will meet such criteria.

The majority of the Company's loan portfolio consists of loans to businesses and individuals in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the Houston metropolitan area. This geographic concentration subjects the loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within these areas. The risks created by this concentration have been considered by management in the determination of the adequacy of the ACL. Management believes the ACL was adequate to cover estimated losses on loans as of June 30, 2022 and 2021.
A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans, which are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses, and the related ACL allocated to these loans:

(1) Loans reported exclude PCD loans that transitioned upon adoption of ASC 326 and accounted for on a pooled basis.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Nonaccrual loans aggregated by class of loans, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were as follows:

Loans past due 90 days and still accruing were $1,753 and $235 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These loans are also considered well-secured, and are in the process of collection with plans in place for the borrowers to bring the notes fully current or to subsequently be renewed. The Company believes that it will collect all principal and interest due on each of the loans past due 90 days and still accruing.
Troubled Debt Restructuring
Modifications of terms for the Company’s loans and their inclusion as TDRs are based on individual facts and circumstances. Loan modifications that are included as TDRs may involve a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or deferral of principal payments, regardless of the period of the modification. The recorded investment in TDRs was $22,308 and $25,518 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
    There were no new TDRs during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The following tables presents the pre- and post-modification amortized cost of loans modified as TDRs during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

There were no loans modified as TDR loans within the previous 12 months and for which there was a payment default during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. A default for purposes of this disclosure is a TDR loan in which the borrower is 90 days past due or results in the foreclosure and repossession of the applicable collateral.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, interest income that would have been recorded on TDR loans had the terms of the loans not been modified was $97 and $189, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, interest income that would have been recorded on TDR loans had terms of the loans not been modified was $57 and $179, respectively.
The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans classified as TDRs as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Credit Quality Indicators
    From a credit risk standpoint, the Company classifies its loans in one of the following categories: (i) pass, (ii) special mention, (iii) substandard or (iv) doubtful. Loans classified as loss are charged-off. Loans not rated special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss are classified as pass loans.
    The classifications of loans reflect a judgment about the risks of default and loss associated with the loan. The Company reviews the ratings on criticized credits monthly. Ratings are adjusted to reflect the degree of risk and loss that is felt to be inherent in each credit as of each monthly reporting period. All classified credits are evaluated for impairment. If impairment is determined to exist, a specific reserve is established. The Company’s methodology is structured so that specific reserves are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk and loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss).
    Credits rated special mention show clear signs of financial weaknesses or deterioration in credit worthiness, however, such concerns are generally not so pronounced that the Company expects to experience significant loss within the short-term. Such credits typically maintain the ability to perform within standard credit terms and credit exposure is not as prominent as credits with a lower rating.
    Credits rated substandard are those in which the normal repayment of principal and interest may be, or has been, jeopardized by reason of adverse trends or developments of a financial, managerial, economic or political nature, or important weaknesses which exist in collateral. A protracted workout on these credits is a distinct possibility. Prompt corrective action is therefore required to strengthen the Company’s position, and/or to reduce exposure and to assure that adequate remedial measures are taken by the borrower. Credit exposure becomes more likely in such credits and a serious evaluation of the secondary support to the credit is performed.
    Credits rated doubtful are those in which full collection of principal appears highly questionable, and in which some degree of loss is anticipated, even though the ultimate amount of loss may not yet be certain and/or other factors exist which could affect collection of debt. Based upon available information, positive action by the Company is required to avert or minimize loss. Credits rated doubtful are generally also placed on non-accrual.
    Credits classified as PCD are those that, at acquisition date, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. All loans considered to be purchased-credit impaired loans prior to January 1, 2020 were converted to PCD loans upon adoption of ASC 326. The Company elected to maintain pools of loans that were previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 and will continue to account for these pools as a unit of account. Loans are only removed from the existing pools if they are foreclosed, written off, paid off, or sold.
The Company considers the guidance in ASC 310-20 when determining whether a modification, extension or renewal of a loan constitutes a current period origination. Generally, current period renewals of credit are re-underwritten at the point of renewal and considered current period originations for purposes of the table below. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans based on year or origination is as follows:

Servicing Assets
The Company was servicing loans of approximately $520,593 and $304,290 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A summary of the changes in the related servicing assets are as follows:
 Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,

Balance at end of period$15,680 $3,725 $15,680 $3,725 
Fair value of servicing assets is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows from the servicing assets using discount rates that approximate current market rates over the expected lives of the loans being serviced. A valuation allowance is recorded when the fair value is below the carrying amount of the asset. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021 there was a valuation allowance of $2,511 and $344, respectively.
The Company may also receive a portion of subsequent interest collections on loans sold that exceed the contractual servicing fees. In that case, the Company records an interest-only strip based on its relative fair market value and the other components of the loans. There was no interest-only strip receivable recorded at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company primarily uses derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk and credit risk and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. Management will designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship. The Company’s remaining derivatives consist of derivatives held for customer accommodation or other purposes.
The fair value of derivative positions outstanding is included in other assets and accounts payable and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and in the net change in each of these financial statement line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, swap fee income and gains and losses due to changes in fair value are included in other noninterest income and the operating section of the consolidated statement of cash flows. For derivatives designated as hedging instruments, the entire change in the fair value related to the derivative instrument is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest income or interest expense when the forecasted transaction affects income. The notional amounts and estimated fair values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as shown in the table below.

Cash Flow Hedges
    Cash flow hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the variability of future cash flows or other forecasted transactions. The Company uses interest rate swaps, floors, caps and collars to manage overall cash flow changes related to interest rate risk exposure on benchmark interest rate loans.
In March 2021, the Company entered into three fixed receive/pay variable interest rate swaps, each with a notional amount of $125,000, to hedge the variability of cash flow payments attributable to changes in interest rates in regards to forecasted of three-month attributable to changes in interest rates in regards to forecasted money market account borrowings from March 2021 through March 2028 and March 2021 through March 2031.
In March 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $500,000 to hedge the variability of cash flow payments attributable to changes in interest rates in regards to forecasted issuances of three-month term debt arrangements every three months from March 2022 through March 2032. These forecasted borrowings can be sourced from a FHLB advance, repurchase agreement, brokered certificate of deposit or some combination. This interest rate swap was terminated on February 24, 2021. The pre-tax gain of $43,900, resulting from the termination of the interest rate swap, will remain in other comprehensive income (loss) and will be accreted over a 10 year period starting in March 2022 unless the forecasted transactions become probable of not occurring. The gain accreted into income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,094 and $1,358, respectively.

In March 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $250,000 to hedge the variability of cash flow payments attributable to changes in interest rates in regards to forecasted money market account borrowings from March 2020 through March 2025.
31



    In May 2019, the Company entered into a $275,000 notional interest rate floor for commercial loans with a two-year term. The interest rate floor had a purchased floor strike of 2.43%. In February 2020, the Company terminated this interest rate floor. The gain resulting from the termination of the interest rate floor will remain in other comprehensive income (loss) and will be accreted into earnings over the remaining period of the former hedging relationship unless the forecasted transaction becomes probable of not occurring.
Interest Rate Swap, Floor, Cap and Collar Agreements Not Designated as Hedging Derivatives
    In order to accommodate the borrowing needs of certain commercial customers, the Company has entered into interest rate swap or cap agreements with those customers. These interest rate derivative contracts effectively allow the Company’s customers to convert a variable rate loan into a fixed rate loan. In order to offset the exposure and manage interest rate risk, at the time an agreement was entered into with a customer, the Company entered into an interest rate swap or cap with a correspondent bank counterparty with offsetting terms. These derivative instruments are not designated as accounting hedges and changes in the net fair value are recognized in noninterest income or expense. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for its customers, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts substantially offset each other and do not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. The fair value amounts are included in other assets and other liabilities.

8. Off-Balance Sheet (“OBS”) Loan Commitments
The Company is a party to financial instruments with OBS risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, MW commitments and standby and commercial letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to a financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, MW commitments and standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The following table sets forth the approximate amounts of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
 June 30,December 31,
 20222021
Commitments to extend credit$4,190,725 $3,809,509 
MW commitments953,002 716,370 
Standby and commercial letters of credit82,002 65,881 
Total$5,225,729 $4,591,760 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Management evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis and substantially all of the Company’s commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of future loan funding. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.
MW commitments are unconditionally cancellable and represent the unused capacity on MW facilities the Company has approved. The Company reserves the right to refuse to buy any mortgage loans offered for sale by a customer, for any reason, at the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.
Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby and commercial letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company’s policy for obtaining collateral and the nature of such collateral is substantially the same as that involved in making commitments to extend credit.
The table below presents the activity in the allowance for unfunded commitment credit losses related to those financial instruments discussed above. This allowance is recorded in accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets:

2022 Equity Plan and Green Acquired Omnibus Plans
At the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of shareholders, the Company sought approval from its shareholders to authorize the amendment and restatement of the 2019 Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (now referred to as the “2022 Equity Plan”) to, among other things, increase the aggregate number of shares that are available for grant thereunder, (the “Shareholder Approval”). Other terms amended in the 2022 Equity Plan included adding a one-year minimum vesting requirement on equity awards and clarifying certain provisions with respect to (i) the Compensation Committee’s authority and responsibilities in the administration of the 2022 Equity Plan, (ii) prohibitions against (x) dividend payments and voting rights with respect to any unvested awards, (y) the repricing of stock options and SARs, and (z) transfers of awards, and (iii) the definitions of termination of service, disability, and retirement. The Compensation Committee of the Board approved the amendment and restatement of the 2022 Equity Plan in May 2022 and Shareholder Approval was received in May 2022.
2022 Grants of Restricted Stock Units
    During the three and six months ending June 30, 2022, the Company granted non-performance-based RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) under the 2022 Equity Plan and the Veritex (Green) 2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Veritex (Green) 2014 Plan”). The majority of the RSUs granted to employees during the six months ending June 30, 2022 have an annual graded vesting over a three year period from the grant date.
    The PSUs granted in February 2022 are subject to a service, performance and market condition. The performance and market condition determine the number of awards to vest. The service period is from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2025, the performance condition performance period is from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 and the market condition

Excluding these discrete tax items, the Company had an effective tax rate of 21.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

11. Legal Contingencies
Litigation
The Company may from time to time be involved in legal actions arising from normal business activities. In the opinion of management, there are no claims for which it is reasonably possible that an adverse outcome would have a material effect on the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of operations. The Company is not aware of any material unasserted claims.

12. Capital Requirements and Restrictions on Retained Earnings
Under applicable U.S. banking laws, there are legal restrictions limiting the amount of dividends the Company can declare. Approval of the regulatory authorities is required if, among other things, the effect of the dividends declared would cause regulatory capital of the Company to fall below specified minimum levels.
The Company on a consolidated basis and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements triggers certain mandatory actions and may lead to additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (“PCA”), the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and PCA classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components of capital, risk weightings of assets, and other factors. In addition, an institution may be downgraded to, or deemed to be in, a capital category that is lower than indicated by its capital ratios, if it is determined to be in an unsafe or unsound condition or if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating with respect to certain matters.

Under the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 and implementing regulations of the federal banking agencies, certain banking organizations with less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets may elect to satisfy a single Community Bank Leverage Ratio (“CBLR”) of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets in lieu of the generally applicable capital requirements of the capital rules implementing Basel III. Banks meeting all of the requirements under this framework are not required to report or calculate risk-based capital, and will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under PCA regulations. The Bank was eligible and elected to use the CBLR framework as of December 31, 2020; however, the Bank was no longer eligible to use the CBLR framework beginning as of June 30, 2021.

As a result of our no longer using the CBLR framework, we are subject to various quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy. These generally applicable capital requirements require a banking organization that does not operate under the CBLR framework to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total capital, Tier 1 capital, and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. The capital rules implementing Basel III also include a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% on top of each of the minimum risk-based capital ratios, and a banking organization with any risk-based capital ratio that meets or exceeds the minimum requirement but does not meet the capital conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and discretionary bonus
41


payments based on the amount of the shortfall. Additionally, to be categorized as “well capitalized,” a bank that does not operate under the CBLR framework is required to maintain minimum total risk-based common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital ratios and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded those levels necessary to be categorized as “well capitalized”. There are no conditions or events since June 30, 2022 that management believes have changed the Company’s category.

In the first quarter of 2020, U.S. federal regulatory authorities issued an interim final rule that provides banking organizations that adopt CECL during the 2020 calendar year with the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital relative to regulatory capital determined under the prior incurred loss methodology, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay (i.e., a five-year transition in total). In connection with our adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, the Company elected to utilize the five-year CECL transition. As a result, the effects of CECL on the Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital was delayed through the year 2021, with the effects phased-in over a three-year period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024.

Dividends paid by the Bank are subject to certain restrictions imposed by regulatory agencies. Capital requirements further limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. No dividends were paid by the Bank to the Holdco during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. No dividends were paid by the Bank to the Holdco during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Dividends of $8,440 were paid by the Bank to the Holdco during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Dividends of $10,792, or $0.20 per outstanding share, and $20,705, or $0.20 per outstanding share on the applicable record date, were paid by the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Dividends of $8,413, or $0.17 per outstanding share, and $16,771, or $0.34 per outstanding share on the applicable record date, were paid by the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

13. Business Combinations

NAC

On November 1, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of NAC. Under this method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. As the consideration paid for NAC exceeded the provisional value of the net assets acquired, goodwill of $32,931 related to the acquisition was recorded. This goodwill resulted from the combination of expected operational synergies and increased market share in the fragmented USDA lending space. The goodwill will be deducted for tax purposes.

The acquisition makes the Bank a leading player in the USDA Business and Industry lending program. It furthered the Company’s strategy of diversifying revenue streams and providing meaningful gain on sale and loan servicing fees. The Company will leverage NAC’s loan sourcing technology to further enhance the Company’s products and services.

Consideration

Under the terms of the definitive agreement for the acquisition, the Bank paid $57,500 in cash to existing shareholders of NAC. Three years after the transaction, NAC has the right, subject to adjustment, to receive an additional $5,000 in cash subject to certain performance measures. NAC will continue to operate under its current name and brand and in its current office space, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank.

Fair Value

The following table presents the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheets on the acquisition date of November 1, 2021, showing the estimated fair value as reported at December 31, 2021, the measurement period adjustments and the fair value determined to be final as of March 31, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) as well as with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except where the content otherwise requires or when otherwise indicated, the terms “Veritex,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “our business” refer to the combined entities of Veritex Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Veritex Community Bank.

This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and are based on certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable but may prove to be inaccurate. Certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth under “Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” may cause actual results to differ materially from the projected results discussed in the forward-looking statements appearing in this discussion and analysis. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.

Overview

    We are a Texas state banking organization with corporate offices in Dallas, Texas. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Veritex Community Bank, a Texas state-chartered bank, we provide relationship-driven commercial banking products and services tailored to meet the needs of small to medium-sized businesses and professionals. Beginning at our operational inception in 2010, we initially targeted customers and focused our acquisitions primarily in the Dallas metropolitan area, which we consider to be Dallas and the adjacent communities in North Dallas. Our current primary markets now includes the broader Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the Houston metropolitan area. As we continue to grow, we may expand to other metropolitan banking markets in Texas.

    Our business is conducted through one reportable segment, community banking, which generates the majority of our revenues from interest income on loans, customer service and loan fees, gains on sale of government guaranteed loans and mortgage loans and interest income from securities. We incur interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds and noninterest expense, such as salaries, employee benefits and occupancy expenses. We analyze our ability to maximize income generated from interest earning assets and expense of our liabilities through net interest margin. Net interest margin is a ratio calculated as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets.

    Changes in the market interest rates and interest rates we earn on interest-earning assets or pay on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and types of interest-earning assets, and interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing liabilities, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income. Fluctuations in market interest rates are driven by many factors, including governmental monetary policies, inflation, deflation, macroeconomic developments, changes in unemployment, the money supply, political and international conditions and conditions in domestic and foreign financial markets. Periodic changes in the volume and types of loans in our loan portfolio are affected by, among other factors, economic and competitive conditions in Texas and, specifically, in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and Houston metropolitan area, as well as developments affecting the real estate, technology, financial services, insurance, transportation, manufacturing and energy sectors within our target markets and throughout the state of Texas.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Effects, Actions and Recent Developments

Overview. Our business has been, and continues to be, impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19. In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the President of the United States. Efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19 have included quarantines/shelter-in-place orders, the closure or limiting capacity of businesses, travel restrictions, supply chain limitations and prohibitions on public gatherings, among other things, throughout many parts of the United States and, in particular, the markets in which we operate. As the current pandemic is ongoing and dynamic in nature, there are many uncertainties related to COVID-19 including, among other things, its severity; the duration of the outbreak; the impact to our customers, employees and vendors; the impact to the financial services and

banking industry; and the impact to the economy as a whole as well as the effect of actions taken, or that may yet be taken, or inaction by governmental authorities to contain the outbreak or to mitigate its impact (both economic and health-related). COVID-19 has negatively affected, and is expected to continue to affect, our business, financial position and operating results. In light of the uncertainties and continuing developments discussed herein, the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 cannot be reliably estimated at this time, but it has been and is expected to continue to be material. The longer-term potential impact on our business could depend to a large extent on future developments and actions taken by authorities and other entities to contain COVID-19 and its economic impact. Furthermore, the sustainability of the economic recovery observed in 2021 remains unclear and significant volatility could continue for a prolonged period as the potential exists for additional variants of COVID-19, including the recent Omicron variant, to impede the global economic recovery and exacerbate geographic differences in the spread of, and response to, COVID-19.

Impact on our Operations. In 2020, the State of Texas and many other jurisdictions declared health emergencies. The resulting closures and/or limited operations of non-essential businesses and related economic disruption impacted our operations as well as the operations of our customers. Financial services were identified as a Critical Infrastructure Sector by the Department of Homeland Security. Accordingly, our business remained open and we implemented our Business Continuity and Health Emergency Response plans to address the issues arising as a result of COVID-19 and to facilitate the continued delivery of essential services while maintaining a high level of safety for our customers as well as our employees. Nonetheless, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be on-going, there continues to be uncertainties related to its magnitude, duration and persistent effects. This is particularly the case with the emergence, contagiousness and threat of new and different strains of the virus as well as the availability, acceptance and effectiveness of vaccines. As such, the COVID-19 pandemic could still, among other things, greatly affect our routine and essential operations due to staff absenteeism, particularly among key personnel; result in limited access to or closures of our branch facilities and other physical offices; exacerbate operational, technical or security-related risks arising from a remote workforce; and result in adverse government or regulatory agency orders. Additionally, we are experiencing an increasingly competitive labor market due to an on-going labor shortage which has impacted and could continue to impact our ability to staff open positions and/or retain existing employees and has resulted in and could continue to result in an increase in our staffing costs. The business and operations of our third-party service providers, many of whom perform critical services for our business, could also be significantly impacted by many of these same issues, which in turn could impact us. As a result, we continue to be unable to fully assess or predict the extent of the effects of COVID-19 on our operations as the ultimate impact will depend on factors that are currently unknown and/or beyond our control.

Impact on our Financial Position and Results of Operations. Our financial position and results of operations are particularly susceptible to the ability of our loan customers to meet loan obligations, the availability of our workforce, the availability of our vendors and the decline in the value of assets held by us. While its effects continue to be on-going, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant decrease in commercial activity throughout the State of Texas as well as nationally. This decrease in commercial activity caused and, in light of new and different strains of the virus, may yet further cause our customers (including affected businesses and individuals), vendors and counterparties to be unable to meet existing payment or other obligations to us. The national public health crisis arising from the COVID-19 pandemic (and public expectations about it), combined with other factors, including, but not limited to, inflation, labor shortages, supply chain disruption and further oil price volatility, could, despite improvements in 2021, again destabilize the financial markets and geographies in which we operate. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and uncertainty regarding the sustainability of any economic improvements could further impact the creditworthiness of potential and current borrowers. Borrower loan defaults that adversely affect our earnings correlate with deteriorating economic conditions, which, in turn, are likely to impact our borrowers’ creditworthiness and our ability to make loans. See further information related to the risk exposure of our loan portfolio under the sections captioned “Loans” and “Allowance for Credit Losses” elsewhere in this discussion.

In addition, the economic pressures and uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in and may continue to result in specific changes in consumer and business spending and borrowing and saving habits, affecting the demand for loans and other products and services we offer. Consumers affected by COVID-19 may continue to demonstrate changed behavior even after the crisis is over. For example, consumers may decrease discretionary spending on a permanent or long-term basis and certain industries may take longer to recover (particularly those that rely on travel or large gatherings) as consumers may be hesitant to return to full social interaction. We lend to customers operating in such industries including energy, hotels/lodging, restaurants, entertainment and CRE, among others, that have been significantly impacted by COVID-19 and we are continuing to monitor these customers closely. Additionally, the temporary closures of bank branches in 2020 and the safety precautions implemented at re-opened branches could result in consumers becoming more comfortable with technology and devaluing face-to-face interaction. Our business is relationship driven and such changes could necessitate changes to our business practices to accommodate changing consumer behaviors.

Legislative and Regulatory Actions. Actions taken by the federal government and the Federal Reserve and other bank regulatory agencies to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 have impacted our financial position and results of operations. These actions are further discussed below.

During 2020, in an effort to provide monetary stimulus to counteract the economic disruption caused by COVID-19, the Federal Reserve:

•    Expanded reverse repo operations, adding liquidity to the banking system.
•    Restarted quantitative easing.
•    Lowered the interest rate at the discount window by 1.5% to 0.25%.
•    Reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent.
•    Encouraged banks to use their capital and liquidity buffers to lend.
•    Introduced and expanded several new temporary programs to help preserve market liquidity.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted. The CARES Act contains substantial tax and spending provisions intended to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), a loan program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Under the PPP, small businesses, sole proprietorship’s, independent contractors and self-employed individuals were eligible to apply for forgivable loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved lenders that enrolled in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. Subsequent legislation, including as noted below, allocated additional funding to the PPP. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, enacted on December 27, 2020, provided additional funding for the PPP and allowed eligible borrowers, including certain borrowers who already received a PPP loan, to apply for PPP loans through March 31, 2021. The SBA began accepting PPP applications under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 on January 13, 2021. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, enacted on March 11, 2021, expanded the eligibility criteria for PPP loans and revised the exclusions from payroll costs for purposes of loan forgiveness. The PPP Extension Act of 2021, enacted on March 30, 2021, extended the PPP through May 31, 2021.

Banks and bank holding companies have been particularly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of disruption and volatility in the global capital markets. We are closely monitoring the potential for new laws and regulations impacting lending and funding practices as well as capital and liquidity standards. Such changes could require us to maintain significantly more capital, with common equity as a more predominant component, or manage the composition of our assets and liabilities to comply with formulaic liquidity requirements.

Veritex Response. We have taken deliberate actions to ensure that we have the balance sheet strength to serve our clients and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, including increasing our liquidity and reserves supported by a strong capital position. In order to protect the health of our customers and employees, and to comply with applicable governmental directives, we implemented our operational response and preparedness plan, which includes, among other things, dispersion of critical operation processes, increased monitoring focused on higher risk operations, enhanced remote access security and further restricted internet access, enhanced security around wire transfer execution and flexible scheduling provided to employees who are unable to work from home.

Beginning in early April 2020, we began processing loan applications under the PPP, and in January 2021 we began processing applications under the latest round of the PPP. The Company believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. If a loan is fully forgiven, the SBA will repay the lending bank in full. If a loan is partially forgiven or not forgiven at all, a bank must look to the borrower for repayment of unforgiven principal and interest. If the borrower defaults, the loan is guaranteed by the SBA. In order to obtain loan forgiveness, a PPP borrower must submit a forgiveness application. The SBA began approving forgiveness applications on October 2, 2020.

Uncertainties in certain future economic conditions exist, and we have taken deliberate actions in response to these uncertainties, including increased levels of on balance sheet liquidity and increased capital ratio levels. We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 closely, as well as any effects that may result from the CARES Act and the subsequent legislation enacted in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed above; however, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our operations and financial results is highly uncertain.

Capital and liquidity
48



As of June 30, 2022, all of our and the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While we believe that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, our reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit losses. We rely on cash on hand as well as dividends from the Bank to service our debt. If our capital deteriorates such that the Bank is unable to pay dividends to us for an extended period of time, we may not be able to service our debt.

We maintain access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to us with stable and low rates for short term funding. If an economic recession caused large numbers of our deposit customers to withdraw their funds, we might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding.

Asset valuation

Currently, we do not expect the COVID-19 pandemic to affect our ability to account timely for the assets on our balance sheet; however, this could change in future periods. While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, we do not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP.

Credit

While all industries experienced adverse impacts as a result of COVID-19 virus, we had no material exposure to loan categories that management considered to be "at-risk" of significant impact as of June 30, 2022.

We continue to work with customers directly affected by COVID-19. We are prepared to offer assistance in accordance with regulator guidelines. As a result of the current economic environment caused by the COVID-19 virus, we continue to engage in communication with borrowers to better understand their situation and the challenges faced, allowing us to respond proactively as needs and issues arise.

Economic Conditions

The economic conditions and growth prospects for our markets, even against the headwinds of inflation and recessionary concerns, continue to reflect a solid and positive overall outlook with economic activity close to pre-pandemic levels. Increasing interest rates and rising building costs have caused some slowing of the highly robust single family housing market, however there continues to be a shortage of housing in several Texas markets. Worker shortages especially in the restaurant, hospitality and retail industries combined with supply chain disruptions impacting numerous industries and inflationary conditions has had some impact on the level of economic growth. Ongoing higher inflation levels and higher interest rates could have a negative impact on both our consumer and commercial borrowers. Overall, Texas continues to experience economic growth due to company relocations and expansions combined with overall population growth.


Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

General
    Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $29.6 million, an increase of $170 thousand, or 0.6%, from net income of $29.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
    Basic EPS was $0.55 and $0.60 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.54, a decrease of $0.05 from $0.59 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Net Interest Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net interest income totaled $84.5 million and net interest margin and net interest spread were 3.42% and 3.21%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, net interest income totaled $67.1 million and net interest margin and net interest spread were 3.11% and 2.90%, respectively. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in interest income of $14.4 million on loans and an increase of $2.1 million on debt securities; offset by an increase in interest expense of $2.2 million in interest-bearing demand and savings deposits, a $995 thousand decrease in advances from FHLB, a $958 thousand decrease in certificates and other time deposits, and a $417
49


thousand decrease in interest expense on subordinated debentures and subordinated debt, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net interest margin increased 31 bps to 3.42% from 3.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in average yields earned on warehouse loans, offset by decreases in the average rate paid on certificate and other time deposits, advances from FHLB and other borrowings in the three months ended June 30, 2022. As a result, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased to 0.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 0.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, interest expense totaled $9.1 million and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.58%. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, interest expense totaled $9.1 million and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.63%. The year-over-year decrease was due to decreases in the average rates paid on certificates and other time deposits, changes in mix of FHLB advances, and other borrowings.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, an analysis of net interest income by each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding and the interest earned or paid on such amounts. The table also sets forth the average rates earned on interest-earning assets, the average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, and the net interest margin on average total interest-earning assets for the same periods. Interest earned on loans that are classified as nonaccrual is not recognized in income; however, the balances are reflected in average outstanding balances for the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, interest income not recognized on nonaccrual loans was $589 thousand and $255 thousand, respectively. Any nonaccrual loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Provision for Credit Losses
Our provision for credit losses is a charge to income in order to bring our ACL to a level deemed appropriate by management. We recorded a provision for credit losses of $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to no provision or benefit for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in general reserves as a result of loan growth. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we also recorded zero provision for unfunded commitments, which was attributable to higher unfunded balances.

52


Noninterest Income
Our primary sources of recurring noninterest income are service charges and fees on deposit accounts, loan fees, gains on the sale of mortgage loans, government guaranteed loan income, net, equity method investment income, net, and other income. Noninterest income does not include loan origination fees, which are generally recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest method.

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $2.1 million, or 16.7%, to $10.4 million compared to noninterest income of $12.5 million for the same period in 2021. The primary drivers of the decrease was as follows:
Service charges and fees on deposit accounts. We earn service charges and fees from our customers for deposit-related activities. The income from these deposit activities constitutes a significant and predictable component of our noninterest income. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts were $5.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.2 million or 31.0%, over the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily due to increases in analysis charges of $506 thousand, ATM and debit card fees of $358 thousand, and other fee income of $284 thousand.
Government guaranteed loan income, net. Government guaranteed loan income, net, includes income related to the sales of government guaranteed loans. The decrease in government guaranteed loan income, net, of $2.7 million or 77.1% was primarily due to the decrease of $1.0 million in fees earned on PPP loans for the three months ended June 30, 2021 with no corresponding PPP loan originations during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Also, a decrease of $768 thousand on the gain on sale of SBA and U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) loans, as well as a decrease of $967 thousand in loan valuations during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.

Other. Other includes other noninterest income from fees. The decrease in other of $2.0 million or 66.9% was primarily due to the decrease of $1.9 million in servicing asset fees during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.

53


Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense is composed of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, acquiring and retaining customer relationships and providing bank services. The major component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits. Noninterest expense also includes operational expenses, such as occupancy expenses, depreciation and amortization of office equipment, professional fees and regulatory fees, data processing and software expenses, marketing expenses and amortization of intangibles.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $6.4 million, or 15.4%, to $48.2 million compared to noninterest expense of $41.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The most significant components of the increase were as follows:

Salaries and employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits include payroll expense, the cost of incentive compensation, benefit plans, health insurance and payroll taxes. These expenses are impacted by the amount of direct loan origination costs, which are required to be deferred in accordance with ASC 310-20. Salaries and employee benefits were $26.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $3.5 million, or 14.8%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a (i) $3.1 million increase in salaries resulting from continued investment in talent, (ii) $1.6 million increase in stock-based compensation resulting from the vesting of February 1, 2019 performance restricted stock unit awards which vested at 150% due the Company’s performance (as defined by the equity awards), (iii) $563 thousand increase in employee benefit expenses and (iv) $200 thousand increase in FICA taxes.

Other. Other noninterest expenses had an increase of $1.3 million, or 35.5%, to $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $763 thousand in loan and collection expenses, and an increase of $752 thousand in miscellaneous expenses.

Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense is a function of our pre-tax income, tax-exempt income and other nondeductible expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect current statutory income tax rates in effect for the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of June 30, 2022, we did not believe a valuation allowance was necessary.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, income tax expense totaled $8.1 million, an increase of $242 thousand, compared to an income tax expense of $7.8 million for the same period in 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had an effective tax rate of 21.4%.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

General

    Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $63.1 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 3.0%, from net income of $61.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
    Basic EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.21, a decrease of $0.03 from $1.24 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.19, a decrease of $0.03 from $1.22 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Net Interest Income

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net interest income before provisions for credit losses totaled $157.5 million and net interest margin and net interest spread were 3.32% and 3.13%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net interest income totaled $132.8 million and net interest margin and net interest spread were 3.16% and 2.94%, respectively. The increase in net interest income of $24.7 million was primarily due to an increase of $18.4 million in interest income on loans and a $2.4 million increase in interest income on debt securities, partially offset by interest expense on transaction and savings deposits which increased $2.2 million, interest expense on certificates and other time deposits decreased $2.6 million , and a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense on FHLB advances due to a change in mix during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in interest income on loans was due to higher loan yields. The $400 thousand decrease in interest expense on deposit accounts was due to a change in deposit mix. Net interest margin increased 16 basis points from the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to an increase in the yields on loan balances, partially offset by decreases in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities due to a favorable shift in deposit and borrowing mix during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. As a result, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 6 basis points to 0.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 0.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, interest expense totaled $16.5 million and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.54%. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, interest expense totaled $19.0 million and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.68%. The decrease of $2.5 million in interest expense was primarily due to a favorable shift in the deposit and borrowing mix with a $2.6 million decrease in the average rate paid on time deposits, a $2.1 million decrease in interest paid on borrowings and partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing demand and savings deposits.

    The following table presents, for the periods indicated, an analysis of net interest income by each major category of interest-earning assets and interest–bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding and the interest earned or paid on such amounts. The table also sets forth the average rate earned on interest-earning assets, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, and the net interest margin on average total interest-earning assets for the same periods. Interest earned on loans that are classified as non-accrual is not recognized in income; however, the balances are reflected in average outstanding balances for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, interest income not recognized on non-accrual loans was $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Any non-accrual loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Provision for Credit Losses
Our provision for credit losses is a charge to income in order to bring our ACL to a level deemed appropriate by management. For a description of the factors taken into account by management in determining the ACL see “—Financial Condition—Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans Held for Investment.” The provision for credit losses was $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to no provision for the same period in 2021, an increase of $8.5 million. The increase in the recorded provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase in general reserves as a result of loan growth. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, we also recorded an $493 thousand provision for unfunded commitments, which was attributable to higher unfunded balances. ACL as a percentage of LHI, excluding MW and PPP loans, was 1.02%, 1.02% and 1.59% of total loans at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $1.1 million, or 4.3%, to $25.5 million compared to noninterest income of $26.6 million for the same period in 2021. The primary drivers of the decrease were as follows:
Service charges and fees on deposit accounts. We earn service charges and fees from our customers for deposit-related activities. The income from these deposit activities constitutes a significant and predictable component of our noninterest income. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts were $9.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $2.3 million or 30.4%, over the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily due to increases in analysis charges of $1.1 million, ATM and debit card fees of $614 thousand, and other fee income of $447 thousand.
Loan fees. We earn certain fees in connection with funding and servicing loans. Loan fees were $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase of $2.0 million, or 63.7%, was primarily due to increases in syndication fees of $1.4 million, prepayment fees on CRE of $470 thousand, and C&I unused lines fees of $107 thousand.
Government guaranteed loan income, net. Government guaranteed loan income, net includes income related to the sales of SBA loans. The decrease in government guaranteed loan income, net, of $4.3 million was primarily due to the $7.5 million decrease in PPP loan fees collected during the six months ended June 30, 2021 with no corresponding PPP loan fees collected during the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease in government guaranteed loan income, net, was partially offset by a $3.7 million increase in gains on the sale of USDA loans.
Other. The decrease in other noninterest income of $2.1 million in six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily driven by an decrease in servicing assets income, net of $3.8 million, partially offset by derivative income, net of $1.7 million.

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $13.4 million, or 16.5%, to $94.7 million compared to noninterest expense of $81.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The most significant components of the decrease were as follows:
 
Salaries and employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits include payroll expense, the cost of incentive compensation, benefit plans, health insurance and payroll taxes. These expenses are impacted by the amount of direct loan origination costs, which are required to be deferred in accordance with ASC 310-20. Salaries and employee benefits were $54.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $8.1 million, or 17.4%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a (i) $3.2 million increase in salaries resulting from continued investment in talent, (ii) $2.8 million increase in stock-based compensation resulting from the vesting of February 1, 2019 performance restricted stock unit awards which vested at 150% due to the Company’s performance (as defined by the equity awards), (iii) $1.1 million increase in FICA taxes, and (iv) $1.0 million increase in employee benefit expenses.

Data processing and software expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, data processing and software expense was $6.3 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 29.9%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.2 million in software expense.

Other noninterest expense. This category includes loan operations and collections, supplies and printing, automatic teller and online expenses and other miscellaneous expenses. Other noninterest expense was $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $2.0 million, or 29.5%. This increase was primarily due to an (i) increase of $347 thousand in check\in-clearing related losses, (ii) increase in problem loan fees of $286 thousand, (iii) increase of $250 thousand in legal settlements, (iv) increase of $242 thousand in auto\travel related expenses, (v) increase of $140 thousand in debit and credit card related fees, (vi) increase in loan appraisal fees of $124 thousand, (vii) increase in information services online access fees of $122 thousand, (viii) increase in subscriptions of $111 thousand, (ix) increase in bank service charges of $106 thousand, and (x) increase in FHLB LOC fees of $102 thousand, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense is a function of our pre-tax income, tax-exempt income and other nondeductible expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect current statutory income tax rates in effect for the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or statutory tax rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision of income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of June 30, 2022, we did not believe a valuation allowance was necessary.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, income tax expense totaled $16.2 million, a decrease of $649 thousand, or 3.9%, compared to an income tax expense of $16.8 million for the same period in 2021. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 20.4%, a decrease as compared to the effective tax rate of 21.6% for the same period in 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily a result of the recognition of a $1.1 million excess tax benefit realized on share-based payment awards during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Financial Condition
 
Our total assets increased $1.54 billion, or 15.8%, from $9.76 billion as of December 31, 2021 to $11.30 billion as of June 30, 2022.  Our asset growth was due to the continued execution of our strategy to establish deep relationships in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the Houston metropolitan area. We believe these relationships will continue to bring in new customer accounts and grow balances from existing loan and deposit customers.
 
Loan Portfolio
 
Our primary source of income is interest on loans to individuals, professionals, small to medium-sized businesses and commercial companies located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and Houston metropolitan area. Our loan portfolio consists primarily of commercial loans and real estate loans secured by CRE properties located in our primary market areas. Our loan portfolio represents the highest yielding component of our interest-earning asset base.
 
As of June 30, 2022, total LHI, excluding ACL, was $8.57 billion, an increase of $1.16 billion, or 15.6%, compared to $7.41 billion as of December 31, 2021. The increase was the result of the continued execution and success of our loan growth strategy. In addition to these amounts, $14.2 million and $26.0 million in loans were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
 
Total LHI, excluding MW and PPP loans, as a percentage of deposits were 93.1% and 92.0% as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Total LHI, excluding MW and PPP loans, as a percentage of assets were 70.0% and 69.4% as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

ACL on LHI
We maintain an ACL that represents management’s best estimate of the credit losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. In determining the ACL, we estimate losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the probable loss can be identified and reasonably determined. The balance of the ACL is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in the nature of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current economic factors and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on certain historical loan loss rates.

Although we believe that we have established our ACL in accordance with GAAP and that the ACL was adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio at all times shown above, future provisions will be subject to ongoing evaluations of the risks in our loan portfolio. If we experience economic declines or if asset quality deteriorates, material additional provisions could be required.
 
Equity Securities
As of June 30, 2022, we held equity securities with a readily determinable fair value of $10.2 million compared to $11.0 million as of December 31, 2021. These equity securities primarily represent investments in a publicly traded Community Reinvestment Act fund and are subject to market pricing volatility, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.

The Company held equity securities without a readily determinable fair values and measured at cost of $5.4 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2021. The Company measures equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell

As of June 30, 2022, we held securities purchased under agreements to resell of $99.0 million and we recognized interest income of $585 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2022. We held no securities purchased under agreements to resell during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Securities purchased under agreements to resell typically mature 30 days from the settlement date, qualify as a secured borrowing and are measured at amortized cost.

FHLB Stock and FRB Stock

As of June 30, 2022, we held FHLB stock and FRB stock of $87.1 million compared to $71.9 million as of December 31, 2021. The Bank is a member of its regional FRB and of the FHLB system. FHLB members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. Both FRB and FHLB stock are carried at cost, restricted for sale, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

We use our debt securities portfolio to provide a source of liquidity, provide an appropriate return on funds invested, manage interest rate risk, meet collateral requirements and meet regulatory capital requirements. As of June 30, 2022, the carrying amount of debt securities totaled $1.35 billion, an increase of $301.9 million, or 28.7%, compared to $1.05 billion as of December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to purchases of debt securities of $444.3 million and net unrealized gains $84.3 million, partially offset by maturities, calls, and paydowns of $56.0 million. Debt securities represented 12.0% and 10.8% of total assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
All of our mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are issued and/or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored entities. We do not hold any Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac preferred stock, corporate equity, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, structured investment vehicles, private label collateralized mortgage obligations, subprime, Alt-A, or second lien elements in our investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2022, our investment portfolio did not contain any securities that are directly backed by subprime or Alt-A mortgages.
 
    Management evaluates available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Consideration is given to (1) the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. As of June 30, 2022, management believes that available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in interest rates and other market conditions, and therefore no ACL have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company also recorded no ACL for its held to maturity debt securities as of June 30, 2022.
    As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not own securities of any one issuer other than U.S. government agency securities for which aggregate cost exceeded 10.0% of our stockholders’ equity as of such respective dates.
Equity Method Investments
On July 16, 2021, the Bank completed an investment to acquire a 49% interest in Thrive Mortgage, LLC (“Thrive”) for $54.9 million in cash and obtained the right to designate a member to Thrive’s board of directors. As a result of the investment, we have a $35.8 million basis difference which is being accounted for as equity method goodwill.

We had $62.1 million in equity method investments as of June 30, 2022 and reported $1.3 million of income resulting from these investment for the six months ended June 30, 2022 which represents our proportionate share of our investee’s income.

Deposits

Total deposits as of June 30, 2022 were $8.52 billion, an increase of $1.15 billion, or 15.7%, compared to $7.36 billion as of December 31, 2021. The increase from December 31, 2021 was primarily the result of increases of $730.9 million in interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits and $437.1 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits partially offset by $14.0 million decrease in certificates and other time deposits.

Borrowings
We utilize short-term and long-term borrowings to supplement deposits to fund our lending and investment activities, each of which is discussed below.
FHLB Advances 
The FHLB allows us to borrow on a blanket floating lien status collateralized by certain securities and loans. As of each of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total borrowing capacity of $2.66 billion and $777.5 million, respectively, was available under this arrangement and $1.00 billion and $227.8 million, respectively, was outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 1.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 0.94% for the year ended December 31, 2021. FHLB has also issued standby letters of credit to the Company for $1.1 billion and $777.6 million as of each of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Our current FHLB advances mature within thirteen years. Other than FHLB borrowings, we had no other short-term borrowings at the dates indicated.
FRB  
The FRB has an available borrower in custody arrangement, which allows us to borrow on a collateralized basis. Certain securities and commercial and consumer loans are pledged under this arrangement. We maintain this borrowing arrangement to meet liquidity needs pursuant to our contingency funding plan. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $1.10 billion and $995.1 million were available under this arrangement based on collateral values of pledged commercial and consumer loans. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no borrowings were outstanding under this arrangement.
Junior subordinated debentures and subordinated notes
The table below details our junior subordinated debentures and subordinated notes. Refer to Note 14 “Borrowed Funds” in our 2021 10-K for further discussion on the details of our junior subordinated debentures and subordinated notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Liquidity management involves our ability to raise funds to support asset growth and acquisitions or reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other payment obligations, to maintain reserve requirements and otherwise to operate on an ongoing basis and manage unexpected events. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, our liquidity needs were primarily met by core deposits, wholesale borrowings, security and loan maturities and amortizing investment and loan portfolios. Use of brokered deposits, purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances from the FHLB and the FRB are available and have been utilized to take advantage of the cost of these funding sources. We maintained five lines of credit with commercial banks that provide for extensions of credit with an availability to borrow up to an aggregate of $175.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. There were no advances under these lines of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
68


In addition, $7.3 million was available in conjunction with the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Program (“PPPLF”) which is a lending facility offered by the FRB to facilitate lending to small businesses under the PPP. As of June 30, 2022, we have not utilized the PPPLF.
The following table illustrates, during the periods presented, the mix of our funding sources and the average assets in which those funds are invested as a percentage of our average total assets for the period indicated. Average assets totaled $10.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $9.36 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Our primary source of funds is deposits, and our primary use of funds is loans. We do not expect a change in the primary source or use of our funds in the foreseeable future. Our average LHI increased 14.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. We invest excess deposits in interest-bearing deposits at other banks, the Federal Reserve or liquid investments securities until these monies are needed to fund loan growth.
As of June 30, 2022, we had $4.19 billion in outstanding commitments to extend credit, $953.0 million in unconditionally cancellable MW commitments and $82.0 million in commitments associated with outstanding standby and commercial letters of credit. As of December 31, 2021, we had $3.81 billion in outstanding commitments to extend credit, $716.4 million in MW commitments and $65.9 million in commitments associated with outstanding standby and commercial letters of credit. Since commitments associated with letters of credit and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the total outstanding may not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.
As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $410.7 million compared to $379.8 million as of December 31, 2021.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
    For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $47.9 million when compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily related to the cash received for the termination of derivatives designated as hedging instruments of $43.9 million.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
    For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities increased by $1.14 billion when compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to a $280.9 million increase in purchases of AFS debt securities and a $857.4 million increase in originations of net loans held for investment.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
    For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities increased by $1.06 billion when compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to a $688.0 million increase in deposits, a $221.2 million increase in advances from FHLB and a $153.9 million increase proceeds from our common stock offering completed during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
    As of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had no exposure to future cash requirements associated with known uncertainties or capital expenditures of a material nature.
Capital Resources
Total stockholders’ equity increased to $1.43 billion as of June 30, 2022, compared to $1.32 billion as of December 31, 2021, an increase of $114.4 million, or 8.7%. The increase from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 was primarily the result of our $153.8 million common stock offering, $63.1 million of net income recognized, along with $6.0 million in stock-based compensation and a $618 thousand increase due to the exercise of employee stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was partially offset by $85.5 million in other comprehensive income and $20.7 million in dividends declared and paid during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
By comparison, total stockholders’ equity increased to $1.27 billion as of June 30, 2021, compared to $1.20 billion as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $69.5 million, or 5.8%. The increase from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 was primarily the result of $61.2 million of net income recognized, an increase of $21.0 million in other comprehensive income, a $3.5 million increase due to the exercise of employee stock options, and $5.2 million in stock-based compensation recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was partially offset by $4.1 million in stock buybacks and $16.8 million in dividends declared and paid during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Capital management consists of providing equity to support our current and future operations. Our regulators view capital levels as important indicators of an institution’s financial soundness. As a general matter, FDIC-insured depository institutions and their holding companies are required to maintain minimum capital relative to the amount and types of assets they hold. We are subject to regulatory capital requirements at the bank holding company and bank levels. See Note 12 – “Capital Requirements and Restrictions on Retained Earnings” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion regarding the regulatory capital requirements applicable to us and the Bank. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we and the Bank were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and the Bank was classified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the PCA regulations. As we employ our capital and continue to grow our operations, our regulatory capital levels may decrease depending on our level of earnings. However, we expect to monitor and control our growth in order to remain in compliance with all regulatory capital standards applicable to us.
On March 8, 2022, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 3,947,369 shares of its common stock at $38.00 per share. On March 10, 2022, the representatives of the underwriters delivered to the Company a written notice of exercise by the underwriters of the underwriters' option to purchase an additional 367,105 shares of the Company's common stock at $38.00 per share, which subsequently closed on March 14, 2022. Net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, of such offering were approximately $153.8 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes and to support its continued growth, including investments in Veritex Bank and future strategic acquisitions.

Critical Accounting Policies
    Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition. We have identified certain significant accounting policies which involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in making certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies which we believe to be the most critical in preparing our consolidated financial statements relate to ACL, business combinations, debt securities and goodwill. Since December 31, 2021, there have been no changes in critical accounting policies as described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for those updates discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless we are required to do so by law.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

    As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our asset, liability and funds management policy provides management with the guidelines for effective funds management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. We manage our sensitivity position within our established guidelines.
    Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.
    We manage our exposure to interest rates by structuring our balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. With exception of our cash flow hedges designated as a hedging instrument, we do not enter into instruments such as leveraged derivatives, interest rate swaps, financial options, financial future contracts or forward delivery contracts for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk. We enter into interest rate swaps, caps and collars as an accommodation to our customers in connection with our interest rate swap program. Based upon the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. We do not own any trading assets.
73


    Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Asset-Liability Committee of the Bank in accordance with policies approved by its board of directors. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on earnings and capital of the current outlook on interest rates, potential changes in interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. The committee meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits and consumer and commercial deposit activity. Management employs methodologies to manage interest rate risk, which include an analysis of relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and an interest rate shock simulation model.
We use an interest rate risk simulation model and shock analysis to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and the balance sheet, respectively. Contractual maturities and repricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the model as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data and call options within the investment portfolio.
We utilize static balance sheet rate shocks to estimate the potential impact on net interest income of changes in interest
rates under various rate scenarios. This analysis estimates a percentage of change in the metric from the stable rate base scenario versus alternative scenarios of rising and falling market interest rates by instantaneously shocking a static balance sheet.  Internal policy regarding internal rate risk simulations currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net income at risk for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 5.0% for a 100 basis point shift, 10.0% for a 200 basis point shift, and 15.0% for a 300 basis point shift.

    The following table summarizes the simulated change in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon as of the dates indicated:
 As of June 30, 2022As of December 31, 2021
 Percent ChangePercent ChangePercent ChangePercent Change

Base— %— %— %— %
−100(5.06)%(4.15)%(3.85)%(11.68)%
    The results are primarily due to behavior of demand, money market and savings deposits during such rate fluctuations. We have found that, historically, interest rates on these deposits change more slowly than changes in the discount and federal funds rates. This assumption is incorporated into the simulation model and is generally not fully reflected in a gap analysis. The assumptions incorporated into the model are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various strategies.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures — As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report. In making this determination, our management, with the supervision and participation of our CEO and CFO, considered a reportable event on a Current Report on Form 8-K that occurred during the period covered by this report, which was untimely but eventually filed with the SEC one day late due to an oversight, and which management believes does not change the effectiveness of our disclosure controls as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and litigation may include, among other things, allegations of violation of banking and other applicable regulations, competition law, labor laws and consumer protection laws, as well as claims or litigation relating to intellectual property, securities, breach of contract and tort. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against any pending or future claims and litigation.

At this time, in the opinion of management, the likelihood is remote that the impact of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in any claim or litigation against us could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention and may materially adversely affect our reputation, even if resolved in our favor.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors
