Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business — Wilson Bank Holding Company (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose primary business is conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wilson Bank & Trust (the “Bank”). The Bank is a commercial bank headquartered in Lebanon, Tennessee. The Bank provides a full range of banking services in its primary market areas of Wilson, Davidson, Rutherford, Trousdale, Sumner, Dekalb, Putnam, Smith, Hamilton, and Williamson Counties, Tennessee. On June 1, 2022, the Bank began operations with a newly-formed joint venture, Encompass Home Lending LLC ("Encompass") of which the Bank owns 51% of the outstanding membership interests. Encompass offers residential mortgage banking services to customers of certain home builders in our markets as well as other mortgage customers.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All adjustments consisting of normally recurring accruals that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods covered by the report have been included. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements and related notes appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, and Encompass. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, determination of any impairment of goodwill or other intangibles, the valuation of other real estate (if any), and the fair value of financial instruments. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Accounting Changes, Reclassifications and Restatements – Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. In addition, on January 1, 2022, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” as subsequently updated for certain clarifications, targeted relief and codification improvements. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326 (“ASC 326”) replaces the previous “incurred loss” model for measuring credit losses, which encompassed allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, with an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. The new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASC 326 also requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASC 326 includes certain changes to the accounting for available-for-sale securities including the requirement to present credit losses as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down for available-for-sale securities management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost basis.

In connection with the adoption of ASC 326, we revised certain accounting policies and implemented certain accounting policy elections. The revised accounting policies are described below.

Allowance For Credit Losses - Loans — The allowance for credit losses on loans is a contra-asset valuation account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present management's best estimate of the net amount expected to be collected. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when deemed uncollectible by management. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Adjustments to the allowance are reported in our income statement as a component of credit loss expense. Management has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on loans from the estimate of credit losses. Further information regarding our policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on loans is presented in Note 2 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses.

Allowance For Credit Losses - Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures — The allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures is a liability account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, representing expected credit losses over the contractual period for which we are exposed to credit risk resulting from a contractual obligation to extend credit. No allowance is recognized if we have the unconditional right to cancel the obligation. The allowance is reported as a component of accrued interest payable and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Adjustments to the allowance are reported in our income statement as a component of non-interest expense. Further information regarding our policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures is presented in Note 11 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.

Securities – Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them until maturity. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value, with the unrealized holding gains and losses (those for which no allowance for credit losses are recorded) reported as a component of other comprehensive earnings, net of tax. Securities held for resale in anticipation of short-term market movements are classified as trading and are carried at fair value, with changes in unrealized holding gains and losses included in income. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. Securities with limited marketability, such as stock in the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank, are carried at cost.

Table of Contents

Interest income on securities includes amortization of purchase premiums and discounts. Premiums and discounts on securities are generally amortized using the interest method with a constant effective yield without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Premiums on callable securities are amortized to their earliest call date. A security is placed on non-accrual status if (i) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more or (ii) full payment of principal and interest is not expected. Interest accrued but not received for a security placed on non-accrual status is reversed against interest income. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and are derived from the amortized cost of the security sold.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Securities Available-for-Sale — For any securities classified as available-for-sale that are in an unrealized loss position at the balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether or not it intends to sell the security, or more likely than not will be required to sell the security, before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criteria is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through net income. If neither criteria is met, the Company evaluates whether any portion of the decline in fair value is the result of credit deterioration. Such evaluations consider the extent to which the amortized cost of the security exceeds its fair value, changes in credit ratings and any other known adverse conditions related to the specific security. If the evaluation indicates that a credit loss exists, an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, limited by the amount by which the amortized cost exceeds fair value. Any impairment not recognized in the allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Standards

Information about certain recently issued accounting standards updates is presented below. Also refer to Note 1 - Accounting Standards Updates in our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information related to previously issued accounting standards updates.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, in June 2022, the FASB issued this pronouncement which clarifies the guidance in ASC 820 when measuring the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. This update also requires specific disclosures related to these types of securities. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period. An entity should apply ASU 2022-03 prospectively once adopted. The Company is assessing ASU 2022-03 and its impact on its accounting and disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. As noted above, effective January 1, 2022 the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, which resulted in a $7.6 million decrease to the allowance for credit losses and a $6.2 million increase to the reserve for unfunded commitments, resulting in a $1.0 million increase in retained earnings (net of taxes). See Note 2 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses for additional information.

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, in March 2020, the FASB issued this pronouncement and has issued subsequent amendments thereto, which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance was effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued an update to Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting with Accounting Standards Update 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which updated the effective date to be March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The Company has implemented a transition plan to identify and modify its loans and other financial instruments, including certain indebtedness, with attributes that are either directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. The Company has begun negotiating loans using its preferred replacement index, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). For the Company’s currently outstanding LIBOR-based loans, the timing and manner in which each customer's contract transitions to SOFR will vary on a case-by-case basis. The Company expects to complete all loan transitions by August 2023.

ASU 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method.” ASU 2022-01 was issued to expand the scope of assets eligible for portfolio layer method hedging to include all financial assets. The update also expands the current last-of-layer method that permits only one hedged layer to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio. The last-of-layer method is renamed the portfolio layer method, because more than the last layer of a portfolio could be hedged. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2022-01 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” ASU 2022-02 was issued to respond to feedback received from post-implementation review of Topic 326. The amendments eliminate the troubled debt restructuring (TDR) recognition and measurement guidance and now require that an entity evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments enhance existing disclosures and include new disclosure requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. To improve consistency for vintage disclosures, the ASU requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Other than those previously discussed, there were no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to materially impact the Company.

Note 2. Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses

Loans — Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balances less unearned income, the allowance for credit losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income on loans is accrued based on the principal balance outstanding. Loan origination fees, net of certain loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the related loan yield using a method which approximates the interest method.

For financial reporting purposes, the Company classifies its loan portfolio based on the underlying collateral utilized to secure each loan. This classification is consistent with that utilized in the Quarterly Report of Condition and Income filed by the Bank with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

The following schedule details the loans of the Company at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

	(In Thousands)

Net loans	$	3,372,936		$	3,113,796

Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Construction, land development and farmland: Loans for non-owner-occupied real estate construction or land development are generally repaid through cash flow related to the operation, sale or refinance of the property. The Company also finances construction loans for owner-occupied properties. A portion of the Company’s construction and land portfolio segment is comprised of loans secured by residential product types (residential land and single-family construction). Construction and land development loans are underwritten utilizing independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, market sales activity, and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans generally rely on estimates of project costs and the anticipated value of the completed project, while the Company strives to ensure the accuracy of these estimates, it is possible for these estimates to be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayments substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.

Residential 1-4 family real estate: Residential real estate loans represent loans to consumers or investors to finance a residence. These loans are typically financed on 15 to 30 year amortization terms, but generally with shorter maturities of 5 to 15 years. Many of these loans are extended to borrowers to finance their primary or secondary residence. Loans to an investor secured by a 1-4 family residence will be repaid from either the rental income from the property or from the sale of the property. This loan segment also includes closed-end home equity loans that are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence. This allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home. Loans in this portfolio segment are underwritten and approved based on a number of credit quality criteria including limits on maximum Loan-to-Value ("LTV") ratios, minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income ratios. Real estate market values as of the time the loan is made directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in addition, changes in these residential property values impact the depth of potential losses in this portfolio segment.

1-4 family equity lines of credit: This loan segment includes open-end home equity loans that are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence. This allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home utilizing a revolving line of credit. These loans are underwritten and approved based on a number of credit quality criteria including limits on maximum LTV ratios, minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income ratios. Real estate market values as of the time the loan is made directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in addition, changes in these residential property values impact the depth of potential losses in this portfolio segment. Because of the revolving nature of these loans, as well as the fact that many represent second mortgages, this portfolio segment can contain more risk than the amortizing 1-4 family residential real estate loans.

Commercial and multi-family real estate: Multi-family and commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate.

Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. The Company also utilizes third-party experts to provide insight and guidance about economic conditions and trends affecting the market areas it serves. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are loans secured by multifamily and commercial properties where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property (that is, loans for which 50 percent or more of the source of repayment comes from third party, nonaffiliated, rental income) or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. These loans are made to finance income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail properties. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are loans where the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and business activities conducted by the party, or affiliate of the party, who owns the property.

Table of Contents

Commercial, industrial, and agricultural: The commercial and industrial loan portfolio segment includes commercial and industrial loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases or other expansion projects. Collection risk in this portfolio is driven by the creditworthiness of underlying borrowers, particularly cash flow from customers’ business operations. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower, if any. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and any collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and usually incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio segment includes non-real estate secured direct loans to consumers for household, family, and other personal expenditures. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured and are usually structured with short or medium term maturities. These loans are underwritten and approved based on a number of consumer credit quality criteria including limits on maximum LTV ratios on secured consumer loans, minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income ratios. Many traditional forms of consumer installment credit have standard monthly payments and fixed repayment schedules of one to five years. These loans are made with either fixed or variable interest rates that are based on specific indices. Installment loans fill a variety of needs, such as financing the purchase of an automobile, a boat, a recreational vehicle or other large personal items, or for consolidating debt. These loans may be unsecured or secured by an assignment of title, as in an automobile loan, or by money in a bank account. In addition to consumer installment loans, this portfolio segment also includes secured and unsecured personal lines of credit as well as overdraft protection lines. Loans in this portfolio segment are sensitive to unemployment and other key consumer economic measures.

Allowance For Credit Losses ("ACL") - Loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans is a contra-asset valuation account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected. The amount of the allowance represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses on loans considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing collectability over the loans' contractual terms, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. Relevant available information includes historical credit loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. While historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, adjustments to historical loss information may be made for differences in current portfolio-specific risk characteristics, environmental conditions or other relevant factors. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective basis for portfolios of loans when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. Expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans, including loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty but foreclosure is not probable, are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

The Company’s discounted cash flow methodology incorporates a probability of default and loss given default model, as well as expectations of future economic conditions, using reasonable and supportable forecasts. Together, the probability of default and loss given default model with the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts generate estimates for cash flows expected and not expected to be collected over the estimated life of a loan. Estimates of future expected cash flows ultimately reflect assumptions made concerning net credit losses over the life of a loan. The use of reasonable and supportable forecasts requires significant judgment. Management leverages economic projections from reputable and independent third parties to inform and provide its reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. The Company’s model reverts to a straight line basis for purposes of estimating cash flows beyond a period deemed reasonable and supportable. The Company forecasts probability of default and loss given default based on economic forecast scenarios over a four quarter time period before reverting to a straight line basis for a four quarter time period. The duration of the forecast horizon, the period over which forecasts revert to a straight line basis, the economic forecasts that management utilizes, as well as additional internal and external indicators of economic forecasts that management considers, may change over time depending on the nature and composition of our loan portfolio. Changes in economic forecasts, in conjunction with changes in loan specific attributes, impact a loan’s probability of default and loss given default, which can drive changes in the determination of the ACL. Expectations of future cash flows are discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The resulting ACL represents the amount by which the loan’s amortized cost exceeds the net present value of a loan’s discounted cash flows expected to be collected. The ACL is recorded through a charge to provision for credit losses and is reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries on loans previously charged-off. It is the Company’s policy to charge-off loan balances at the time they have been deemed uncollectible.

For segments where the discounted cash flow methodology is not used, a remaining life methodology is utilized. The remaining life method uses an average annual charge-off rate applied to the contractual term, further adjusted for estimated prepayments to determine the unadjusted historical charge-off rate for the remaining balance of assets.

The estimated loan losses for all loan segments are adjusted for changes in qualitative factors not inherently considered in the quantitative analyses. The qualitative categories and the measurements used to quantify the risks within each of these categories are subjectively selected by management. The data for each measurement may be obtained from internal or external sources. The current period measurements are evaluated and assigned a factor commensurate with the current level of risk relative to past measurements over time. The resulting qualitative adjustments are applied to the relevant collectively evaluated loan portfolios. These adjustments are based upon the following:

Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses.

Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments.

Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans.

Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff.

Changes in the volume and severity of past-due loans, the volume of non-accrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans.

Changes in the quality of the Company's loan review system.

Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans.

The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations.

The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the Company’s existing portfolio.

Table of Contents

The qualitative allowance allocation, as determined by the processes noted above, is increased or decreased for each loan segment based on the assessment of these various qualitative factors.

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with the collectively evaluated pools are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collectively evaluated pools. Individual evaluations are generally performed for loans greater than $500,000 which have experienced significant credit deterioration. Such loans are evaluated for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral, less selling costs. For loans for which foreclosure is not probable, but for which repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 326 to estimate expected credit losses based on the fair value of collateral, with selling costs considered in the event sale of the collateral is expected. Loans greater than $100,000 for which terms have been modified either through principal forgiveness, payment delay, term extension, or interest rate reduction are evaluated using these same individual evaluation methods.

In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers the results of the Company's ongoing independent loan review process. The Company undertakes this process both to ascertain those loans in the portfolio with elevated credit risk and to assist in its overall evaluation of the risk characteristics of the entire loan portfolio. Its loan review process includes the judgment of management, independent internal loan reviewers and reviews that may have been conducted by third-party reviewers including regulatory examiners. The Company incorporates relevant loan review results in the allowance.

In accordance with CECL, losses are estimated over the remaining contractual terms of loans, adjusted for prepayments and curtailment. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications.

Credit losses are estimated on the amortized cost basis of loans, which includes the principal balance outstanding and deferred loan fees and costs.

While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate appropriateness of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond our control, including the performance of our loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications.

Table of Contents

Loans are charged off when management believes that the full collectability of the loan is unlikely. As such, a loan may be partially charged-off after a “confirming event” has occurred which serves to validate that full repayment pursuant to the terms of the loan is unlikely.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when there is a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower, which often is determined when the principal or interest on the loan is more than 90 days past due, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. Generally, all interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status, is reversed against current income. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received while the loan is classified as nonaccrual, but interest income recognition is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. A nonaccrual loan is returned to accruing status once the loan has been brought current and collection is reasonably assured or the loan has been “well-secured” through other techniques. Past due status is determined based on the contractual due date per the underlying loan agreement.

The following tables present the Company’s nonaccrual loans and past due loans as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2022-02 which eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs and requires disclosures for certain loan modifications when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty.

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing, principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses.

In some cases, the Company provides multiple types of concessions on one loan. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted. For the loans included in the "combination" columns below, multiple types of modifications have been made on the same loan within the current reporting period. The combination is at least two of the following: a term extension, principal forgiveness, an other-than-insignificant payment delay and/or an interest rate reduction.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans at June 30, 2023 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the six months ended June 30, 2023, by class and type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below.

There were no payment defaults on modified loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or a portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized costs basis of the loan is reduced by the amount deemed uncollectible and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

TDR Disclosures Prior to Adoption of ASU 2022-02

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 the restructuring of a loan was considered a TDR if both (i) the borrower was experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor had granted a concession. Concessions may have included interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, extension of terms and other actions intended to minimize potential losses.

The Company did not modify any loan that was considered a TDR during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023 there were no consumer mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure totaled $11,000.

Potential problem loans, which include nonperforming loans, amounted to approximately $4.7 million at June 30, 2023 and $6.4 million at December 31, 2022. Potential problem loans represent those loans with a well-defined weakness and where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with present repayment terms. This definition is believed to be substantially consistent with the standards established by the FDIC, the Bank’s primary federal regulator, for loans classified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful.

The following summary presents the Bank's loan balances by primary loan classification and the amount classified within each risk rating category. Pass rated loans include all credits other than those included in special mention, substandard and doubtful which are defined as follows:

	•	Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.
	•	Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
	•	Doubtful loans have all the characteristics of substandard loans with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The Bank considers all doubtful loans to be collateral dependent and places such loans on nonaccrual status.

The applicable date for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position is June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As such, it is possible that a security had a market value less than its amortized cost on other days during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2022, but is not in the "Investments with an Unrealized Loss of less than 12 months" category above.

As shown in the tables above, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had unrealized losses of $137.2 million and $149.5 million on $794.3 million and $822.2 million, respectively, of securities. As described in note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for any securities classified as available-for-sale that are in an unrealized loss position at the balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether or not it intends to sell the security, or more-likely-than-not will be required to sell the security, before recovery of its amortized cost basis which would require a write-down to fair value through net income. Because the Company currently does not intend to sell those securities that have an unrealized loss at June 30, 2023, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company has determined that no write-down is necessary. In addition, the Company evaluates whether any portion of the decline in fair value is the result of credit deterioration, which would require the recognition of an allowance for credit losses. Such evaluations consider the extent to which the amortized cost of the security exceeds its fair value, changes in credit ratings and any other known adverse conditions related to the specific security. The unrealized losses associated with securities at June 30, 2023 are driven by changes in interest rates and not due to the credit quality of the securities, and accordingly, no allowance for credit losses is considered necessary related to available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2023. These securities will continue to be monitored as a part of the Company's ongoing evaluation of credit quality.

Mortgage-Backed Securities

At June 30, 2023, approximately 98% of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies. Because the decline in fair value is largely attributable to interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired (OTTI) at June 30, 2023.

The Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio includes non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations with a fair value of $9.5 million which had unrealized losses of approximately $1.6 million at June 30, 2023. These non-agency mortgage-backed securities were rated AAA at June 30, 2023. The Company monitors to ensure it has adequate credit support and as of June 30, 2023, the Company believes there is no OTTI and does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds.

Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions

Unrealized losses on municipal bonds have not been recognized into income because the issuers' bonds are of high credit quality (rated A or higher), management does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that management will be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

Table of Contents

Asset-Backed Securities

The Company's asset-backed securities portfolio includes agency and non-agency asset backed and other amortizing debt securities with a fair value of $42.9 million which had unrealized losses of approximately $2.2 million at June 30, 2023. The Company monitors these securities to ensure it has adequate credit support and as of June 30, 2023, the Company believes there is no OTTI and does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds.

Corporate Bonds

The Company's lone corporate debt security with a fair value of $2.4 million had an unrealized loss of approximately $0.1 million at June 30, 2023. The Company monitors this security to ensure it has adequate credit support and as of June 30, 2023, the Company believes there is no OTTI and does not have the intent to sell this security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. The issuer continues to make timely principal and interest payments on the bond.

Note 4. Derivatives

Derivatives Designated as Fair Value Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is presented on the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to mitigate the effect of changing interest rates on the fair values of fixed rate loans. The hedging strategy on loans converts the fixed interest rates to variable interest rates tied to the applicable reference rate. These derivatives are designated as partial term hedges of selected cash flows covering specified periods of time prior to the maturity dates of the hedged loans.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company entered into one swap transaction with a notional amount of $30,000,000 pursuant to which the Company pays the counter-party a fixed interest rate and receives a floating rate, which to date has equaled 1 month LIBOR. Beginning September 1, 2023, the Company expects to begin receiving a daily compounded SOFR rate plus a spread adjustment in lieu of 1 month LIBOR as part of the LIBOR transition event. The derivative transaction is designated as a fair value hedge.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

Commitments to fund certain mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors under the Bank's mandatory delivery program are considered derivatives. It is the Company's practice to enter into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans when interest rate lock commitments are entered into in an effort to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $7,252,000 and $6,923,000, respectively, of interest rate lock commitments and approximately $7,000,000 and $6,250,000, respectively, of forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans. The fair value of these mortgage banking derivatives was reflected by a derivative asset of $157,000 and $123,000 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and a derivative asset of $28,000 and $62,000 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Changes in the fair values of these mortgage-banking derivatives are included in net gains on sale of loans.

Note 6. Equity Incentive Plans

In April 2009, the Company’s shareholders approved the Wilson Bank Holding Company 2009 Stock Option Plan (the “2009 Stock Option Plan”). The 2009 Stock Option Plan was effective as of April 14, 2009. Under the 2009 Stock Option Plan, awards could be in the form of options to acquire common stock of the Company. Subject to adjustment as provided by the terms of the 2009 Stock Option Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which awards could be granted under the 2009 Stock Option Plan was 100,000 shares. The 2009 Stock Option Plan terminated on April 13, 2019, and no additional awards may be issued under the 2009 Stock Option Plan. The awards granted under the 2009 Stock Option Plan prior to the plan's expiration will remain outstanding until exercised or otherwise terminated. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding 4,198 options under the 2009 Stock Option Plan with a weighted average exercise price of $35.32.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved the Wilson Bank Holding Company 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which authorizes awards of up to 750,000 shares of common stock. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors and effective as of January 25, 2016 and approved by the Company’s shareholders on April 12, 2016. On September 26, 2016, the Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated the “2016 Equity Incentive Plan”).

Note 7. Regulatory Capital

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of June 30, 2023, the Bank and the Company meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If an institution is classified as adequately capitalized or lower, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

The Company’s and Wilson Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are presented in the following tables. The capital conservation buffer of 2.5% is not included in the required minimum ratios of the tables presented below.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The definition of fair value focuses on the exit price, i.e., the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not the entry price (i.e., the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability at the measurement date). The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, the fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Valuation Hierarchy

FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

	•	Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

	•	Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

	•	Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Assets

Securities available-for-sale — Where quoted prices are available for identical securities in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government securities and certain other financial products. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models that use observable inputs or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation and more complex pricing models or discounted cash flows are used, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Hedged loans — The fair value of our hedged loan portfolio is intended to approximate the fair value that a market participant would realize in a hypothetical orderly transaction.

Collateral dependent loans – Collateral dependent loans are measured at the fair value of the collateral securing the loan less estimated selling costs. The fair value of real estate collateral is determined based on real estate appraisals which are generally based on recent sales of comparable properties which are then adjusted for property specific factors. Non-real estate collateral is valued based on various sources, including third party asset valuations and internally determined values based on cost adjusted for depreciation and other judgmentally determined discount factors. Collateral dependent loans are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy due to the unobservable inputs used in determining their fair value such as collateral values and the borrower's underlying financial condition.

Other real estate owned — Other real estate owned (“OREO”) represents real estate foreclosed upon by the Company through loan defaults by customers or acquired in lieu of foreclosure. Substantially all of these amounts relate to construction and land development loans, other loans secured by land, and commercial real estate loans for which the Company believes it has adequate collateral. Upon foreclosure, the property is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, based on appraised value, less selling costs estimated as of the date acquired with any loss recognized as a charge-off through the allowance for credit losses. Additional OREO losses for subsequent valuation downward adjustments are determined on a specific property basis and are included as a component of noninterest expense along with holding costs. Any gains or losses realized at the time of disposal are also reflected in noninterest expense, as applicable. OREO is included in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy due to the lack of observable market inputs into the determination of fair value. Appraisal values are property-specific and sensitive to the changes in the overall economic environment.

Mortgage loans held-for-sale — Mortgage loans held-for-sale are carried at fair value, and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of mortgage loans held-for-sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan.

Derivative Instruments — The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Other investments — Included in other investments are investments recorded at fair value primarily in certain nonpublic investments and funds. The valuation of these nonpublic investments requires management judgment due to the absence of observable quoted market prices, inherent lack of liquidity and the long-term nature of such assets. These investments are valued initially based upon transaction price. The carrying values of other investments are adjusted either upwards or downwards from the transaction price to reflect expected exit values as evidenced by financing and sale transactions with third parties. These investments are included in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy if the entities and funds are not widely traded and the underlying investments are in privately-held and/or start-up companies for which market values are not readily available.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which we have utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

	Valuation Techniques ⁽¹⁾	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Weighted Average
Collateral dependent loans	Appraisal	Estimated costs to sell	10%
Other real estate owned	Appraisal	Estimated costs to sell	10%

⁽¹⁾The fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which may include Level 3 inputs that are not identifiable, or by using the discounted cash flow method if the loan is not collateral dependent.

In the case of its investment securities portfolio, the Company monitors the valuation technique utilized by various pricing agencies to ascertain when transfers between levels have been affected. The nature of the remaining assets and liabilities is such that transfers in and out of any level are expected to be rare. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3.

The table below includes a rollforward of the balance sheet amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (including the change in fair value) for financial instruments classified by the Company within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, since Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources), the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology (in thousands):

Table of Contents

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments that are not measured at fair value. In cases where quoted market prices or observable components are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flow models. Those models are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates, estimates of future cash flows and borrower creditworthiness. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Such amounts have not been revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Cash and cash equivalents — The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

Loans — The fair value of our loan portfolio includes a credit risk factor in the determination of the fair value of our loans. This credit risk assumption is intended to approximate the fair value that a market participant would realize in a hypothetical orderly transaction. Our loan portfolio is initially fair valued using a segmented approach. We divide our loan portfolio into the following categories: variable rate loans, collateral dependent loans and all other loans. The results are then adjusted to account for credit risk.

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values approximate carrying values. Fair values for collateral dependent loans are estimated using discounted cash flow models or based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. For other loans, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow models, using current market interest rates offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The values derived from the discounted cash flow approach for each of the above portfolios are then further discounted to incorporate credit risk to determine the exit price.

Mortgage servicing rights — The fair value of servicing rights is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows of mortgages sold, stratified by rate and maturity date. Assumptions that are incorporated in the valuation of servicing rights include assumptions about prepayment speeds on mortgages and the cost to service loans.

Deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings — Fair values for deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow models, using current market interest rates offered on deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments — The fair values of the Company’s off-balance-sheet financial instruments are based on fees charged to enter into similar agreements. However, commitments to extend credit do not represent a significant value to the Company until such commitments are funded.

The following table presents the carrying amounts, estimated fair value and placement in the fair valuation hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. For short-term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.

Note 9. Income Taxes

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. This section also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties, and includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits related to Federal or state income tax matters and does not anticipate any material increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits relative to any tax positions taken prior to June 30, 2023.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 22.55% and 22.63% compared to 23.50% and 22.75% for the same periods in 2022. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal and state income tax statutory rate of 26.14% at June 30, 2023 and 2022 is primarily due to investments in bank qualified municipal securities, participation in the Tennessee Community Investment Tax Credit (CITC) program, and tax benefits associated with share-based compensation, and bank-owned life insurance, offset in part by the limitation on deductibility of meals and entertainment expense and non-deductible executive compensation.

As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company has not accrued or recognized interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

The Company and the Bank file consolidated U.S. Federal and State of Tennessee income tax returns. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the State of Tennessee for the years ended December 31, 2019 through 2022 and the IRS for the years ended December 31, 2020 through 2022.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for stock splits. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the Company begins with the basic earnings per share and includes the effect of common shares contingently issuable from stock options.

The following is a summary of components comprising basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments which include commitments to extend credit (i.e., including unfunded lines of credit) and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are usually the result of lines of credit granted to existing borrowers under agreements that the total outstanding indebtedness will not exceed a specific amount during the term of the indebtedness. Typical borrowers are commercial concerns that use lines of credit to supplement their treasury management functions, thus their total outstanding indebtedness may fluctuate during any time period based on the seasonality of their business and the resultant timing of their cash flows. Other typical lines of credit are related to home equity loans granted to consumers. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.

Standby letters of credit are generally issued on behalf of an applicant (the Bank's customer) to a specifically named beneficiary and are the result of a particular business arrangement that exists between the applicant and the beneficiary. Standby letters of credit have fixed expiration dates and are usually for terms of two years or less unless terminated sooner due to criteria specified in the standby letter of credit. A typical arrangement involves the applicant routinely being indebted to the beneficiary for such items as inventory purchases, insurance, utilities, lease guarantees or other third party commercial transactions. The standby letter of credit would permit the beneficiary to obtain payment from the Bank under certain prescribed circumstances. Subsequently, the Bank would then seek reimbursement from the applicant pursuant to the terms of the standby letter of credit.

The Bank follows the same credit policies and underwriting practices when making these commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and the amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include cash and cash equivalents, real estate and improvements, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and personal property.

The contractual amounts of these commitments are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements and would only be reflected if drawn upon. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. However, should the commitments be drawn upon and should our customers default on their resulting obligation to us, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss, without consideration of collateral, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.

A summary of the Company’s total contractual amount for all off-balance sheet commitments at June 30, 2023 is as follows:

Commitments to extend credit		$	1,138,729,000
Standby letters of credit		$	109,848,000

Allowance For Credit Losses - Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures is a liability account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, representing expected credit losses over the contractual period for which we are exposed to credit risk resulting from a contractual obligation to extend credit. No allowance is recognized if we have the unconditional right to cancel the obligation. Off-balance-sheet credit exposures primarily consist of amounts available under outstanding lines of credit and letters of credit detailed in the table above. For the period of exposure, the estimate of expected credit losses considers both the likelihood that funding will occur and the amount expected to be funded over the estimated remaining life of the commitment or other off-balance-sheet exposure. The likelihood and expected amount of funding are based on historical utilization rates. The amount of the allowance represents management's best estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over the contractual life of the commitment.

Estimating credit losses on amounts expected to be funded uses the same methodology as described for loans in Note 2 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses as if such commitments were funded.

The following table details activity in the allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The Bank originates residential mortgage loans, sells them to third-party purchasers, and may or may not retain the servicing rights. These loans are originated internally and are primarily to borrowers in the Company’s geographic market footprint. These sales are typically to investors that follow guidelines of conventional government sponsored entities ("GSE") and the Department of Housing and Urban Development/U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ("HUD/VA"). Generally, loans held for sale are underwritten by the Company, including HUD/VA loans. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Bank began to participate in a mandatory delivery program that requires the Bank to deliver a particular volume of mortgage loans by agreed upon dates. A majority of the Bank’s secondary mortgage volume is delivered to the secondary market via mandatory delivery with the remainder done on a best efforts basis. The Bank does not realize any exposure delivery penalties as the mortgage department only bids loans post-closing to ensure that 100% of the loans are deliverable to the investors.

Each purchaser has specific guidelines and criteria for sellers of loans, and the risk of credit loss with regard to the principal amount of the loans sold is generally transferred to the purchasers upon sale. While the loans are sold without recourse, the purchase agreements require the Bank to make certain representations and warranties regarding the existence and sufficiency of file documentation and the absence of fraud by borrowers or other third parties such as appraisers in connection with obtaining the loan. If it is determined that the loans sold were in breach of these representations or warranties or the loan had an early payoff or payment default, the Bank has obligations to either repurchase the loan for the unpaid principal balance and related investor fees or make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of the loan.

Table of Contents

To date, repurchase activity pursuant to the terms of these representations and warranties or due to early payoffs or payment defaults has been insignificant and has resulted in insignificant losses to the Company.

Based on information currently available, management believes that the Bank does not have significant exposure to contingent losses that may arise relating to the representations and warranties that it has made in connection with its mortgage loan sales or for early payoffs or payment defaults of such mortgage loans.

Various legal claims also arise from time to time in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these claims outstanding at June 30, 2023 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

ASC 855, Subsequent Events, establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Wilson Bank Holding Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2023, through the date of the issued financial statements.

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

The purpose of this discussion is to provide insight into the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its bank subsidiary, Wilson Bank & Trust (the "Bank") and Encompass Home Lending LLC ("Encompass"), a company offering mortgage banking services that is 51% owned by the Bank and 49% owned by two home builders operating in the Bank's market areas. The results of Encompass, which commenced operations on June 1, 2022, are consolidated in the Company's financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Reference should also be made to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a more complete discussion of factors that impact the Company's liquidity, capital and results of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") regarding, among other things, the anticipated financial and operating results of the Company. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any modifications or revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

The Company cautions investors that future financial and operating results may differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. The words “expect,” “intend,” “should,” “may,” “could,” “believe,” “suspect,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “plan,” “estimate” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but other statements not based on historical fact may also be considered forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and also include, without limitation, (i) deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers resulting in significant increases in credit losses and provisions for these losses, (ii) deterioration in the real estate market conditions in the Company’s market areas including demand for residential real estate loans as a result of rising rates on residential real estate mortgage loans, (iii) the impact of increased competition with other financial institutions, including pricing pressures on loans and deposits, and the resulting impact on the Company's results, including as a result of compression to net interest margin, (iv) adverse conditions in local or national economies, including the economy in the Company’s market areas, including as a result of inflationary pressures on our customers and on their businesses, (v) the sale of investment securities in a loss position before the value of the securities recovers, including as a result of asset liability management strategies or in response to liquidity needs, (vi) fluctuations or differences in interest rates on earning assets and interest bearing liabilities from those that the Company is modeling or anticipating, including as a result of the Bank's inability to maintain deposit rates or defer increases to those rates in a rising rate environment in connection with the changes in the short-term rate environment, or that affect the yield curve, (vii) the ability to grow and retain low-cost core deposits and retain large uninsured deposits, including during times when the Bank is seeking to limit the rates it pays on deposits or uncertainty exists in the financial services sector, (viii) significant downturns in the business of one or more large customers, (ix) the inability of the Company to comply with regulatory capital requirements, including those resulting from changes to capital calculation methodologies, required capital maintenance levels, or regulatory requests or directives, (x) changes in state or Federal regulations, policies, or legislation applicable to banks and other financial service providers, including regulatory or legislative developments arising out of current unsettled conditions in the economy, including implementation of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (xi) changes in capital levels and loan underwriting, credit review or loss reserve policies associated with economic conditions, examination conclusions, or regulatory developments, (xii) inadequate allowance for credit losses, (xiii) the effectiveness of the Company’s activities in improving, resolving or liquidating lower quality assets, (xiv) results of regulatory examinations, (xv) the vulnerability of the Company's network and online banking portals, and the systems of parties with whom the Company contracts, to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes, spam attacks, human error, natural disasters, power loss, and other security breaches, (xvi) the possibility of additional increases to compliance costs or other operational expenses as a result of increased regulatory oversight, (xvii) loss of key personnel, and (xviii) adverse results (including costs, fines, reputational harm and/or other negative effects) from current or future litigation, examinations or other legal and/or regulatory actions. These risks and uncertainties may cause the actual results or performance of the Company to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The Company’s future operating results depend on a number of factors which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements.

Recent Developments

Difficult Market Conditions are Adversely Affecting the Banking Industry

Concerns of a potential recession remain as the Federal Reserve continued to increase interest rates in the second quarter of 2023 in an effort to ease inflation. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by an aggregate of 500 basis points in 2022 and through July 2023 (including a 25 basis point increase on July 26, 2023), to a range between 5.25% and 5.50%, the highest level in over 20 years. The Federal Reserve reiterated that inflation remained elevated and that they are remaining highly attentive to inflation risks, suggesting that future rate hikes could be possible. Future actions that may be taken by the Federal Reserve may continue to impact key macroeconomic variables.

The rise in short term interest rates during 2022 that has continued in 2023, the resulting industry-wide reduction in the fair value of securities portfolios, and the bank liquidity issues that led to the failures of multiple financial institutions beginning in March of 2023, among other events, have resulted in a current state of volatility and uncertainty with respect to the health of the U.S. banking system, particularly around liquidity, uninsured deposits and customer concentrations, though the situation appears to have stabilized somewhat due in part to actions taken by federal regulators in attempts to restore confidence in the markets. In March 2023, the Federal Reserve announced the creation of a new Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) which provides an additional source of liquidity against high quality securities, in an effort to minimize the need for banks to quickly sell securities at a loss in times of stress. The BTFP offers advances for a term of up to one year to eligible borrowers that pledge U.S. Treasuries, agency debt, mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral. The rate for term advances will be the one-year overnight index swap rate plus 10 basis points; the rate will be fixed for the term of the advance on the day the advance is made. Borrowers may prepay advances (including for purposes of refinancing) at any time without penalty.

To date, these recent market events and activities have not materially and adversely impacted our financial condition, operations, customer base, liquidity, capital position or risk profile, though they have had some impact, particularly on our cost of funds which has contributed to compression in our net interest margin.

We have an investment portfolio that we believe consists of high-quality securities. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of our available-for-sale debt securities was $799,841,000, or approximately 17.39% of total assets. We monitor our tangible common equity, which includes the impact of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, to total assets on an ongoing basis. As of June 30, 2023, our ratio of tangible common equity to total assets was significantly higher than the regulatory minimum of 2%. We also stress our tangible common equity in various interest rate scenarios.

Our liquidity position remained strong, with the following financial balances as of June 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022:

•	Total cash and cash equivalents of approximately $187,669,000, compared to $104,789,000.
•	Total liquidity ratio of approximately 12.13%, compared to 12.21%.
•	Unpledged, liquid securities were approximately $370,507,000, compared to $417,684,000.
•	Available borrowing capacity from Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”) secured lines of credit was approximately $559.5 million, compared to $526.5 million. There were no outstanding borrowings at FHLB at June 30, 2023.
•	Available borrowing capacity from the six unsecured credit lines from correspondent banks totaled $125,236,000 and $126,208,000 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings on these lines at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
•	Did not participate in BTFP in the second quarter of 2023.

We continue to monitor macroeconomic variables related to increasing interest rates, inflation, the concerns of an economic downturn, and its effects on our business, customers, employees, communities and markets. The following challenges could have an impact on our business, consolidated financial condition or near- or longer-term consolidated results of operations:

•	Slower loan growth and declining deposits;
•	Difficulty retaining and attracting deposit relationships;
•	Credit quality deterioration of our loan portfolio resulting in additional provision for credit losses and impairment charges;
•	Margin pressure as we increase deposit rates in response to rate increases by the FOMC and our competitors and the mix of our deposits continues to shift into more interest-bearing accounts;
•	Increases in other comprehensive loss from the unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities; and
•	Liquidity stresses and increased costs to maintain sufficient levels of high-quality liquid assets and access to borrowing lines.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

We follow accounting and reporting policies that conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While we base estimates on historical experience, current information, forecasted economic conditions, and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates.

We consider accounting estimates to be critical to reported financial results if (i) the accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain and (ii) different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on our financial statements.

Table of Contents

Accounting policies related to the allowance for credit losses on financial instruments including loans and off-balance-sheet credit exposures are considered to be critical as these policies involve considerable subjective judgment and estimation by management. As discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, our policies related to allowances for credit losses changed on January 1, 2022 in connection with the adoption of a new accounting standard update as codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326 (“ASC 326”) Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. In the case of loans, the allowance for credit losses is a contra-asset valuation account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected. In the case of off-balance-sheet credit exposures, the allowance for credit losses is a liability account, calculated in accordance with ASC 326, reported as a component of accrued interest payable and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The amount of each allowance account represents management's best estimate of current expected credit losses on these financial instruments considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing exposure to credit loss over the contractual term of the instrument. Relevant available information includes historical credit loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. While historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, adjustments to historical loss information may be made for differences in current portfolio-specific risk characteristics, environmental conditions or other relevant factors. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of our allowance accounts is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond our control, including the performance of our portfolios, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward classification of assets. For additional information regarding critical accounting policies, refer to Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses in the notes to consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Quarterly Report contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under U.S. GAAP and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Members of Company management use these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance, financial condition, and efficiency of operations. Management of the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods. Management of the Company also believes that investors find these non-GAAP financial measures useful as they assist investors in understanding underlying operating performance and identifying and analyzing ongoing operating trends. However, the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein are calculated may differ from the manner in which measures with similar names are calculated by other companies. You should understand how other companies calculate their financial measures similar to, or with names similar to, the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed herein when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP measures in this Quarterly Report include “pre-tax pre-provision income,” “pre-tax pre-provision basic earnings per share,” “pre-tax pre-provision annualized return on average shareholders' equity,” and “pre-tax pre-provision annualized return on average assets.” A reconciliation of these measures to the comparable GAAP measures is included below.

Results of Operations

Net earnings of the Company increased $718,000, or 2.81%, to $26,230,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $25,512,000 in the first six months of 2022. The increase in net earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year comparable period was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense. The increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the comparable period in 2022 is due to an increase in average interest earning asset balances and an increase in the yield earned on interest earning assets, partially offset by an increase in cost of funds.

Net earnings of the Company were $12,389,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $1,750,000 or 12.38%, from $14,139,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in net earnings during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year comparable period was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income and an increase in non-interest expense offset, in part, by an increase in non-interest income. The decrease in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 is due to an increase in cost of funds, partially offset by an increase in average interest earning asset balances and an increase in yield earned on interest earning assets. The increase in cost of funds for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the comparable period in 2022 occurred as we increased the rates we are paying on our deposit products as a result of competitive pressures in our markets, the impact of the higher interest rate environment and the impact of the higher rates we are paying on increased levels of brokered deposits. The decrease in non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the comparable period in 2022 primarily resulted from a decrease in the gain on sale of loans which resulted from a decrease in the volume of refinancing and purchase money transactions for residential real estate loans due to higher mortgage interest rates. The increase in non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the comparable periods in 2022 resulted from the Company's continued growth.

Return on average assets (ROA) and return on average shareholders' equity (ROE) are common benchmarks for bank profitability and are calculated by taking our annualized net earnings for the relevant period and dividing that amount by the average assets and average equity for the relevant periods, respectively. ROA and ROE measure a company’s return on investment in a format that is easily comparable to other financial institutions. ROA is particularly important to the Company as it serves as the basis for certain executive and employee bonuses. The ROA for the three month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 1.11% and 1.38%, respectively. The ROA for the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 1.20% and 1.27%, respectively. The ROE for the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 13.63% and 13.57%, respectively. The ROE for the three month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 12.65% and 15.60%.

Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 3.41% and 3.50%, respectively. Net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 3.27% and 3.63%, respectively. The decrease in net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in the cost of funds, partially offset by an increase in the yield earned on earning assets. As discussed above, the increase in cost of funds was due to the Bank raising the rates paid on deposits due to competitive pressures, depositors transferring funds from lower rate earning or non-interest bearing accounts to higher rate earning accounts to take advantage of the higher rates and increased balances of brokered deposits. The Federal Reserve influences the general market rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by many financial institutions. Our loan portfolio is significantly affected by changes in the prime interest rate. The prime interest rate, which is the rate offered on loans to borrowers with strong credit, increased 525 basis points from the first quarter of 2022 through July 31, 2023 as the Federal Reserve sought to address high levels of inflation. The direction and speed with which short-term interest rates move has an impact on our net interest income. We anticipate that our net interest margin is likely to contract throughout the remainder of 2023 because of the higher short-term interest rates and the impact of competitive pressures in our market, which pressure the Bank's deposit pricing and contribute to a compression in our margin. The increase in brokered deposits, which can carry higher rates than core deposits, that we experienced in the first half of 2023, is also likely to negatively impact our net interest margin. The yield on loans increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the comparable periods in 2022 due to the higher rates charged on new loans and the repricing of a portion of the Bank's variable rate loan portfolio. The net interest spread was 3.14% and 3.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The net interest spread was 2.95% and 3.58% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Net interest income represents the amount by which interest earned on various earning assets exceeds interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities and is the most significant component of the Company’s earnings. Net interest income, excluding tax equivalent adjustments relating to tax exempt securities and loans, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $34,053,000 compared to $34,857,000 for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $804,000, while the net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $69,483,000, an increase of $3,271,000 compared to the same period in 2022.

The increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase in interest and fees earned on loans as well as an increase in interest and dividends earned on securities. The increase in interest and fees earned on loans resulted from an overall increase in average loans and an increase in rates as mentioned above. The slight decrease in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the comparable period in 2022 was primarily due to an increase in interest expense resulting from the increase in the cost of funds discussed above, offset in part by an increase in interest and fees on loans as well as an increase in interest and dividends earned on securities.

The ratio of average earning assets to total average assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 95.3% and 95.2% compared to 95.4% and 95.7% for the same periods in 2022.

Interest expense increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the comparable periods in 2022, as discussed above, competitive pressures in the rising short-term interest rate environment required the Bank to raise rates paid on deposits as well as the Bank's customers shifting deposits from transaction and money market accounts to time deposit accounts and the Bank utilizing increased levels of brokered deposits. We expect deposit costs to continue to increase during the remainder of 2023 due to those same factors and the expected repricing of a portion of the Bank's time deposits that are currently below the current market rates.

Provision for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2022, we adopted FASB ASU 2016-13, which introduces the current expected credit losses (CECL) methodology and requires us to estimate all expected credit losses over the remaining life of our loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for credit losses that, in management's evaluation is adequate to provide coverage for all expected credit losses. The determination of the amount of the allowance is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. Refer to Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed discussion regarding ACL methodology.

The provision for credit losses-loans was $4,040,000 and $3,517,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The provision for credit losses-loans was $2,078,000 and $1,625,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The benefit for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures was $2,298,000 compared to a provision of $217,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The benefit for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures was $1,020,000 and $608,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Although loan growth tapered from $288,326,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $262,690,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, our provision for credit losses for loans increased $523,000 when comparing the two periods. Loan growth increased slightly from $147,456,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $147,715,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 while our provision for credit losses for loans increased $453,000 when comparing these same periods. The increase in provision was due to the macroeconomic forecast in our CECL model reflecting the potential for a recession. The decrease in the provision for credit losses-off-balance sheet credit exposures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was the result of a decrease in our off-balance sheet commitments and an increase in our unconditionally cancellable commitments.

The following detail provides a breakdown of the provision for credit loss-loans expense and net (charge-offs) recoveries at June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Following our adoption of CECL, the provision for credit losses-loans charged to operating expense requires us to estimate all expected credit losses over the remaining life of our loan portfolio. Other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating expected credit losses include growth and composition of the loan portfolio, review of specific problem loans, the relationship of the allowance for credit losses to outstanding loans, adverse situations that may affect our borrowers' ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions that may affect our borrowers' ability to pay.

There was no provision for credit losses on available-for-sale securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Non-Interest Income

Our non-interest income is composed of several components, some of which vary significantly between quarterly and annual periods. The following is a summary of our non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,

Total non-interest income	$	7,503		$	7,368		$	135			1.83	%	$	14,506		$	15,503		$	(997	)		(6.43	%)

The increase in noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the comparable period in 2022 is primarily attributable to an increase in gain on sale of loans, an increase in service charges on deposit accounts, and an increase in income on BOLI and annuity contracts, partially offset by a decrease in brokerage income and other fees and commissions. The decrease in noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily attributable to a decrease in gain on sale of loans and brokerage income, partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts and income on BOLI and annuity contracts.

The decrease in gain on sale of loans for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was due to the higher interest rate environment which contributed to weakened demand for purchase money mortgage loans and refinancing transactions. The volume of mortgage loans originated for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $44,834,000 compared to $79,099,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The mortgage industry expects volume to remain lower throughout the remainder of 2023. In anticipation of the slowing of mortgage origination volume due to the higher rate environment, the Company began to retain servicing rights on some of the loans it originates during the first quarter of 2022. We expect Encompass to contribute additional income through gain on sale of loans and operating fees paid to the Bank which should increase as the volume of mortgages made by Encompass increases.

The increase in gain on sale of loans for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was due to the volatility of interest rates experienced in the second quarter of 2022. The rise in interest rates in the second quarter of 2022 in the mortgage market negatively impacted the fair value of our interest rate lock commitments

The decrease in brokerage income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to overall market declines within the last 18 months and the severe increase in interest rates causing investors to turn to more conservative investment choices, such as CDs and money markets.

The decrease in other fees and commissions is due to a decrease in property evaluation fees and ATM transaction fees.

The loss on sale of fixed assets in the first half of 2023 was attributable to the sale of a company vehicle.

The increase in service charges on deposit accounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily was due to an increase in non-sufficient funds charges.

The increase in income on BOLI and annuity contracts for the three and six months was attributable to the purchase of an additional policy in the second half of 2022.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense consists primarily of employee costs, occupancy expenses, furniture and equipment expenses, advertising and public relations expenses, data processing expenses, director’s fees, audit, legal and consulting fees, and other operating expenses. The following is a summary of our non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,										Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		$ Increase (Decrease)			% Increase (Decrease)			2023		2022		$ Increase (Decrease)			% Increase (Decrease)

Total non-interest expense	$	24,459	$	22,724	$	1,735			7.64	%	$	48,281	$	44,953	$	3,328			7.40	%

The increase in non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the comparable periods in 2022 is primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits, data processing expense, advertising expense, occupancy expense, and other operating expenses. Rising costs due to inflationary pressures have placed upward pressure on nearly all of our non-interest expenses categories.

Salaries and employee benefits increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the comparable periods in 2022 primarily due to an increase in the number of employees necessary to support the Company’s growth in operations and branch count as well as an increase in recruiting costs.

The increase in occupancy expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the comparable periods in 2022 is primarily attributable to ongoing branch maintenance and repairs.

Data processing expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the comparable periods in 2022 primarily due to an increase in computer maintenance, computer license expense, and call center expense. The computer maintenance and license expenses included movement of in-house systems to cloud servers, additional investments in digital banking solutions, and an increase in information security expenses. The Company anticipates that data processing expenses will continue to increase as the Company's operations grow and the Company places additional emphasis on the acceleration of digital product offerings.

Advertising and public relations expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 due to an increase in customer acquisition costs, marketing expenses associated with the opening of two new branches, as well as an overall increase in the cost of marketing materials.

The increase in other operating expenses is primarily due to an increase in FDIC assessment costs due to the Bank's growth in 2022, as well as the purchase of new products for customers and the conversion of several account types.

The efficiency ratio is a common and comparable KPI used in the banking industry. The Company uses this metric to monitor how effective management is at using our internal resources. It is calculated by dividing our non-interest expense by our net interest income plus non-interest income. Our efficiency ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 58.86% and 53.82%, respectively. The efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 57.48% and 55.01%, respectively. The increase in the efficiency ratio in the first half 2023 is due to the increase in non-interest expense as discussed above outpacing the growth in net interest income and non-interest income.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense was $7,688,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $174,000 over the comparable period in 2022. The percentage of income tax expense to net income before taxes was 22.63% and 22.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company's income tax expense was $3,617,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $726,000 over the comparable period in 2022. The percentage of income tax expense to net income before taxes was 22.55% and 23.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rate represents our blended federal and state rate of 26.14% affected by the impact of anticipated favorable permanent differences between our book and taxable income such as bank-owned life insurance, income earned on tax-exempt securities and loans, and certain federal and state tax credits.

Overall, the Bank's loan demand and related new loan production has continued to be steady, though loan demand slightly slowed in the first half of 2023. The net loan growth of 8.32% from December 31, 2022 reflects the continued emphasis of management on growing the loan portfolio. Contributing to the Company's loan growth in the first half of the year were the continued population growth and corporate relocations in the Bank's primary market areas, the opening of new branches, and increased marketing efforts. The increase in residential 1-4 family real estate loans is attributable to the Bank successfully growing its residential portfolio through enhanced marketing efforts directed at homebuilders in the Company's market areas, and the increase the Company is seeing in the investor sector of 1-4 family. The increase in construction, land development and farmland loans, commercial and multi-family real estate, and 1-4 family equity lines of credit is primarily attributable to continued economic growth and expansion in the Bank's primary market areas. Although the Company has continued to grow loans through June 2023, the Company expects to experience a decline in demand for loans as interest rates continue to rise, particularly if the economy worsens including as a result of persistent elevated levels of inflation and the recessionary environment some are predicting for 2023.

Because construction loans remain a meaningful portion of our portfolio, the Bank has implemented an additional layer of monitoring as it seeks to avoid advancing funds that exceed the present value of the collateral securing the loan. The responsibility for monitoring percentage of completion and distribution of funds tied to these completion percentages is now monitored and administered by a Credit Administration Department independent of the lending function. The Bank continues to seek to diversify its real estate portfolio as it seeks to lessen concentrations in any one type of loan.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses for loans represents the portion of the loan's amortized cost basis that we do not expect to collect due to credit losses over the loan's life, considering past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions considering macroeconomic forecasts. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for credit losses for loans is based on the loan's amortized cost basis, excluding accrued interest receivables, as we promptly charge off accrued interest receivable determined to be uncollectible. We determine the appropriateness of the allowance through quarterly discounted cash flow modeling of the loan portfolio which considers lending-related commitments and other relevant factors, including macroeconomic forecasts and historical loss rates. In future quarters, we may update information and forecasts that may cause significant changes in the estimate in those future quarters.

Our allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2023 reflects an amount deemed appropriate to adequately cover all expected future losses as of the date the allowance is determined based on our allowance for credit losses assessment methodology. Provision for credit losses in 2023 resulted in an increase of the allowance for credit losses (net of charge-offs and recoveries) to $43,363,000 at June 30, 2023 from $39,813,000 at December 31, 2022 . The allowance for credit losses was 1.27% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2023 compared to 1.26% at December 31, 2022 . The internally classified loans as a percentage of the allowance for credit losses were 10.7% and 16.0% respectively, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 .

The allowance for credit losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb expected losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2023 , net of deferred fees, increased slightly from the year ended December 31, 2022 . This increase was due to an increase in provision expense due to loan growth.

We measure expected credit losses over the life of each loan utilizing two models. For residential 1-4 family, commercial and multi-family real estate, construction and land development, commercial and industrial, 1-4 family equity lines of credit, municipal, and certain other loan types, we use discounted cash flow models which measure probability of default and loss given default. For farmland, agricultural, credit cards, auto, and other consumer loans we use the remaining life method to estimate credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses for loan segments utilizing discounted cash flow is impacted by certain macroeconomic variables. Models are adjusted to reflect the current impact of certain macroeconomic variables as well as their expected changes over a reasonable and supportable forecast period.

In estimating expected credit losses as of June 30, 2023 , we utilized the Moody’s Analytics June 2023 Next-Cycle Recession Scenario (the “June N-CR Scenario”) to forecast the macroeconomic variables used in our models. The June N-CR Scenario was based on the review of a variety of surveys of forecasts of the U.S. economy. The June N-CR Scenario projections included, among other things, (i) U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) annualized quarterly growth rates in the range of approximately (1.36)% to 1.35% during the next 12 months and (1.60)% to 2.04% in the following 12 months; (ii) a U.S. unemployment rate in the range of approximately 3.78% to 5.64% during the next 12 months and 5.32% to 6.03% in the following 12 months; and (iii) a Home Price Index annualized quarterly growth rates in the range of approximately (6.34)% to (.29)% during the next 12 months and (7.21)% to (2.64)% in the following 12 months. As a result of changes in our macroeconomic forecasts from those forecasted at December 31, 2022, we increased our historical modeled loss rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

We adjust model results using qualitative factor ("Q-factor") adjustments. Q-Factor adjustments are based upon management judgment and current assessment as to the impact of risks related to changes in lending policies and procedures; economic and business conditions; loan portfolio attributes and credit concentrations; and external factors, among other things, that are not already captured within the modeling inputs, assumptions and other processes. Management assesses the potential impact of such items within a range of major risk to improvement and adjusts the modeled expected credit loss by an aggregate adjustment percentage based upon the assessment. We increased our historical modeled loss rates during the first half 2023 due to changes in our macroeconomic forecasts, which are discussed above, and reduced our qualitative adjustment relating to changes in international, national, regional, and local conditions over that same period due to the macroeconomic forecast capturing the potential for a recession, that was not captured in our previous forecasts.

Wilson Bank’s charge-off policy for collateral dependent loans is similar to its charge-off policy for all loans in that loans are charged-off in the month when a determination is made that the loan is uncollectible. Net charge-offs increased to $490,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 , compared to net charge-offs of $347,000 for the same period in 2022 . The ratio of net charge-offs to average total outstanding loans was 0.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 . Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $161,000, a decrease of $4,000 from $165,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Overall, the Bank experienced minimal charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and it is expected that charge-offs will be modest for the remainder of 2023; however, a deterioration in local economic conditions may negatively impact charge-offs in the future.

We also maintain an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures, which decreased $2,298,000 from December 31, 2022 to $3,838,000 at June 30, 2023 as a result of a decrease in our off-balance sheet commitments and an increase in our unconditionally cancellable commitments.

The level of the allowance and the amount of the provision for credit losses involve evaluation of uncertainties and matters of judgment. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses which management believes is adequate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio. A formal calculation is prepared quarterly by the Company's Chief Financial Officer and provided to the Board of Directors to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The calculation includes an evaluation of historical default and loss experience, current and forecasted economic conditions, an evaluation of qualitative factors, industry and peer bank loan quality indicators and other factors. See the discussion above under “Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates” for more information. Management believes the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2023 to be adequate, but if forecasted economic conditions do not meet management’s current expectations, the allowance for credit losses may require an increase through additional provision for credit loss expense which would negatively impact earnings.

For a detailed discussion regarding our allowance for credit losses, see “Provision for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses” above.

Securities

Securities decreased $22,971,000, or 2.79%, to $799,841,000 at June 30, 2023 from $822,812,000 at December 31, 2022, primarily due to the sale in the second quarter of 2023 of $11,500,000 in securities to increase our liquidity, partially offset by an increase of the fair value of our securities caused by an improvement in the underlying market conditions. The average yield, excluding tax equivalent adjustment, of the securities portfolio at June 30, 2023 was 2.14% with a weighted average life of 8.17 years, as compared to an average yield of 2.15% and a weighted average life of 8.25 years at December 31, 2022. The weighted average lives on mortgage-backed securities reflect the repayment rate used for book value calculations.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment decreased$93,000, or 0.15%, from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The primary reason for the decrease was due to current year depreciation of $2,197,000, offset by the purchase of equipment and furniture and fixtures for two branches as well as an increase in computer software.

Deposits and Other Liabilities

The increase in deposits in the first six months of 2023, which is described below, outpaced loan growth during the period, causing interest bearing deposits with other financial institutions to increase. Interest bearing deposits with other financial institutions increased to $144,896,000 at June 30, 2023 from $78,948,000 at December 31, 2022. Included in deposits at June 30, 2023 were $49,313,000 in brokered deposits, compared to $35,024,000 at December 31, 2022. The increase in brokered deposits from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 was the result of management's decision to increase liquidity to fund anticipated loan growth during the remainder of 2023.

The average balance and weighted average interest rate paid for deposit types for the quarters ended June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 are detailed in the following schedule:

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we estimate that we had approximately $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, in uninsured deposits, which are the portion of deposit amounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit. Approximately 27% of our total deposits exceeded the FDIC deposit insurance limits at June 30, 2023. However, we offer large depositors access to the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) and the Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS Product”), which allows us to divide customers' deposits that exceed the FDIC insurance limits into smaller amounts, below the FDIC insurance limits, and place those deposits in other participating FDIC insured institutions with the convenience of managing all deposit accounts through our Bank. Our total deposits in CDARS and the ICS Products increased to $42,752,000, or 1.03% of total deposits at June 30, 2023, compared to $4,730,000, or 0.12% of total deposits at December 31, 2022.

Principal maturities of certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts at June 30, 2023 are as follows:

	*In Thousands*
Maturity
2023	$	436,738
2024		729,795
2025		124,132
2026		21,900
2027		21,491
Thereafter		11,959
	$	1,346,015

The increase in total liabilities since December 31, 2022 was composed of a $270,213,000, or 6.94%, increase in total deposits and a $9,989,000, or 30.74%, increase in accrued interest and other liabilities. The increase in total deposits since December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to growth in market share which resulted in the opening of new deposit accounts, a targeted effort to increase customer time deposits and the increase in brokered deposits mentioned above. The increase in accrued interest and other liabilities since December 31, 2022 was partially attributable to an increase in interest payable on CDs as customers moved from lower earning and non-interest earning accounts to take advantage of the higher rates. This increase was also attributable to an increase in employee bonus payable, partially offset by a decrease in escrow payable and a decrease in reserve for off-balance sheet commitments.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing loans, which included nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days past due, at June 30, 2023 totaled $184,000, a decrease from $869,000 at December 31, 2022. The decrease in non-performing loans during the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $685,000 is due primarily to one residential 1-4 family real estate loan and one commercial real estate loan that are no longer 90 days past due. Management believes that it is probable that it will incur losses on its non-performing loans but believes that these losses should not exceed the amount in the allowance for credit losses already allocated to these loans, unless there is unanticipated deterioration of local real estate values.

The net non-performing asset ratio (NPA) is used as a measure of the overall quality of the Company's assets. Our NPA ratio is calculated by taking the total of our loans greater than 90 days past due and accruing interest, nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned and dividing that sum by our total assets outstanding. Our NPA ratio for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022was 0.00% and 0.02%, respectively.

Other loans may be classified as collateral dependent when the current net worth and financial capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any, is viewed as inadequate and it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Such loans generally have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and if such deficiencies are not corrected, there is a probability that the Company will sustain some loss. In such cases, interest income continues to accrue as long as the loan does not meet the Company’s criteria for nonaccrual status. Collateral dependent loans are measured at the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. If the fair value of the collateral dependent loan less estimated selling costs is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company shall recognize impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to the provision for credit losses or by adjusting an existing valuation allowance for the collateral dependent loan with a corresponding charge or credit to the provision for credit losses.

At June 30, 2023 the Company had a recorded investment in collateral dependent loans totaling $4,887,000, an increase from a recorded investment in collateral dependent loans totaling $638,000 at December 31, 2022. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022 is primarily due to the addition of two 1-4 family real estate relationships and the addition of two commercial real estate relationships. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no valuation allowance was recorded on collateral dependent loans. The allowance for credit losses related to collateral dependent loans was measured based upon the estimated fair value of related collateral.

At June 30, 2023 as a result of payoffs and upgrades to certain loans to a pass rating, our internally classified loans decreased $1,723,000, or 27.02%, to $4,653,000 from $6,376,000 at December 31, 2022. Classified loan balances have remained relatively consistent due to the stable markets in which we operate; however, if short-term rates continue to rise and economic conditions worsen, our classified loan balances could increase. Loans are listed as classified when information obtained about possible credit problems of the borrower has prompted management to question the ability of the borrower to comply with the repayment terms of the loan agreement.

Liquidity and Asset Liability Management

Liquidity

The Company’s management seeks to maximize net interest income by managing the Company’s assets and liabilities within appropriate constraints on capital, liquidity and interest rate risk. Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet our cash flow requirements, including inflows and outflows of cash for depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting our operating, capital and strategic cash flow needs. Several factors influence our liquidity needs, including depositor and borrower activity, interest rate trends, changes in the economy, maturities, re-pricing and interest rate sensitivity of our debt securities, loan portfolio and deposits. We strive to maintain appropriate levels of liquidity. We calculate our liquidity ratio by taking cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits, federal funds sold, and available-for-sale debt securities not pledged as collateral and dividing by total assets. Our total liquidity ratios were 12.13% at June 30, 2023 and 12.21% at December 31, 2022.

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is a stable core deposit base. In addition, Federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and brokered deposits provide a secondary source. These sources of liquidity are generally short-term in nature and are used to fund asset growth and meet other short-term liquidity needs. Liquidity needs can also be met from loan payments and investment security sales or maturities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and debt securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. At June 30, 2023, the Company’s liquid assets totaled $558.0 million, an increase from $522.7 million at December 31, 2022, though a portion of these liquid assets include available-for-sale securities that are in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2023. If the Company was required to sell any of these securities, including to meet liquidity needs, while they are in an unrealized loss position the Company would be required to recognize the loss on those securities through the income statement when they are sold. Recognition of these losses would negatively impact the Bank's and the Company's regulatory capital levels. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023, the Company had available approximately $125.2 million in unused federal funds lines of credit with regional banks and, subject to certain restrictions and collateral requirements, approximately $559.5 million of borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati to meet short term funding needs. The Company maintains a formal asset and liability management process in an effort to quantify, monitor and control interest rate risk and to assist management as management seeks to maintain stability in net interest margin under varying interest rate environments. The Company accomplishes this process through the development and implementation of lending, funding and pricing strategies designed to maximize net interest income under varying interest rate environments subject to specific liquidity and interest rate risk guidelines and competitive market conditions.

Securities classified as available-for-sale include securities intended to be used as part of the Company’s asset/liability strategy and/or securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rate, prepayment risk, or the need to fund loan demand or other liquidity needs. At June 30, 2023 , securities totaling approximately $40,984,000 mature or will be subject to rate adjustments within the next twelve months.

A secondary source of liquidity is the Company’s loan portfolio. At June 30, 2023 , loans totaling approximately $1.1 billion either will become due or will be subject to rate adjustments within twelve months from that date.

As for liabilities, at June 30, 2023 , certificates of deposit of $250,000 or greater totaling approximately $418 million will become due or reprice during the next twelve months. Historically, there has been no significant reduction in immediately withdrawable accounts such as negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, money market demand accounts, demand deposit accounts and regular savings accounts. Management does not anticipate that there will be significant withdrawals from these accounts in the future.

Management believes that with present maturities, borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and the efforts of management in its asset/liability management program, the Company should be able to meet its liquidity needs in the near term future.

Asset Liability Management

Analysis of rate sensitivity and rate gap analysis are the primary tools used to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest rates. Included in the analysis are cash flows and maturities of financial instruments held for purposes other than trading, changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing and deposit volume and mix. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and, as a result, net interest income cannot be precisely estimated nor can the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income be precisely predicted. Actual results will differ due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management’s strategies, among other factors.

The Company also uses simulation modeling to evaluate both the level of interest rate sensitivity as well as potential balance sheet strategies. The Company's Asset Liability Committee meets quarterly to analyze the interest rate shock simulation. The interest rate shock simulation model is based on a number of assumptions. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows and balance sheet management strategies. We model instantaneous change in interest rates using a growth in the balance sheet as well as a flat balance sheet to understand the impact to earnings and capital. Based on the Company's IRR simulation, the Company had a neutral interest-rate risk position as of June 30, 2023. The Company’s net interest margin and earnings could be negatively impacted if short-term rates continue to rise and competitive pressures in the Company's market areas force the Company to increase deposit rates faster than it is able to increase yields on loans. As discussed elsewhere herein, the Bank anticipates that its net interest margin is likely to contract during the remainder of 2023 because of such competitive pressures, the rising rate environment we are currently experiencing and expected to continue in the near term and costs of increased brokered deposits. The Company also uses Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) sensitivity analysis to understand the impact of changes in interest rates on long-term cash flows, income and capital. EVE is calculated by discounting the cash flows for all balance sheet instruments under different interest rate scenarios. The EVE is a longer term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of the future cash flows. Presented below is the estimated impact on the Bank’s net interest income and EVE as of June 30, 2023, assuming an immediate shift in interest rates:

	% Change from Base Case for Immediate Parallel Changes in Rates
	-300 BP			-200 BP			-100 BP			+100 BP			+200 BP			+300 BP
Net interest income		(9.53	)%		(4.95	)%		(2.35	)%		(1.55	)%		(2.97	)%		(4.50	)%
EVE		(14.59	)%		(5.04	)%		(0.69	)%		(2.52	)%		(5.50	)%		(9.06	)%

Table of Contents

While an instantaneous and severe shift in interest rates was used in this analysis to provide an estimate of exposure under these scenarios, we believe that a gradual shift in interest rates would have a more modest impact. Further, the earnings simulation model does not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in product mix, changes in yield curve relationships, and changing product spreads that could mitigate any potential adverse impact of changes in interest rates. Moreover, since EVE measures the discounted present value of cash flows over the estimated lives of instruments, the change in EVE does not directly correlate to the degree that earnings would be impacted over a shorter time horizon (i.e., the current year). Further, EVE does not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in product mix, changes in yield curve relationships, hedging strategies that we may institute, and changing product spreads that could mitigate any potential adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

Interest rate risk (sensitivity) management focuses on the earnings risk associated with changing interest rates. Management seeks to maintain profitability in both immediate and long-term earnings through funds management/interest rate risk management. The Company’s rate sensitivity position has an important impact on earnings. Senior management of the Company analyzes the rate sensitivity position quarterly. Management focuses on the spread between the Company’s cost of funds and interest yields generated primarily through loans and investments.

In addition to the ALCO, the Audit Committee as well as the Chief Risk Officer are all responsible for the “risk management framework” of the Company. The ALCO meets monthly and the Audit Committee meets quarterly, with the authority to convene additional meetings, as circumstances require.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2023, we had unfunded loan commitments outstanding of $1,138,729,000 and outstanding standby letters of credit of $109,848,000, compared to $1,217,963,000 and $118,064,000, respectively, at December 31, 2022. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. If needed to fund these outstanding commitments, the Bank has the ability to liquidate federal funds sold or securities available-for-sale or on a short-term basis to borrow and purchase federal funds from other financial institutions. Additionally, the Bank could sell participations in these or other loans to correspondent banks. As mentioned above, the Bank has historically been able to fund its ongoing liquidity needs through its stable core deposit base, loan payments, investment security maturities and short-term borrowings.

Capital Position and Dividends

At June 30, 2023, total shareholders’ equity was $394,687,000, or 8.58% of total assets, which compares with $360,452,000, or 8.41% of total assets, at December 31, 2022. The dollar increase in shareholders’ equity during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is the result of the net effect of a $9,119,000 unrealized gain on investment securities (described elsewhere in this report) net of applicable income tax expense of $3,227,000, $473,000 related to stock option compensation, the Company’s net earnings of $26,230,000 and proceeds from the issuance of common stock related to exercise of stock options of $404,000. Also included was $48,000 of net earnings related to non-controlling interest. The increase in shareholders' equity was partially offset by cash dividends declared of $8,605,000, net of $6,566,000 reinvested under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. Based upon the nature of the Company’s operations, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk.

Interest rate risk (sensitivity) management focuses on the earnings risk associated with changing interest rates. Management seeks to maintain profitability in both short-term and long-term earnings through funds management/interest rate risk management. The Company’s rate sensitivity position has an important impact on earnings. Senior management of the Company meets monthly to analyze the rate sensitivity position. These meetings focus on the spread between the cost of funds and interest yields generated primarily through loans and investments.

There have been no material changes in reported market risks during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Overall, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
