Management believes the depth and breadth of the Company’s products and services coupled with the personal and professional service offered to customersdelivery of the same provides an appealing alternative to the “megabanks” that have resulted from large out-of-state national banks acquiring Iowa and Minnesota-based community banks. While we employ a community banking philosophy, we believe that our size, combined with our complete line of financial products and services, is sufficient to effectively compete in our relevant market areas.

Lending Activities
General
We provide a range of commercial and retail lending services to businesses, individualsincluding public sector and government agencies.non-profit entities, and individuals. These credit activities include commercial and industrial loans; agricultural loans;loans, commercial and residential real estate loans;loans, agricultural loans, and consumer loans.
We market our services to qualified lending customers. Lending officers actively solicit the business of new companies entering their market areas as well as long-standing members of the business communities in which we operate. Through professional service, competitive pricing, and innovative structure, we have been successful in attracting new lending customers. We also actively pursue consumer lending opportunities. With convenient locations, advertising, and customer communications, and competitive technology, we believe that we have been successful in capitalizing on the credit needs of our market areas.
Our management emphasizes credit quality and seeks to avoid undue concentrations of loans to a single industry or based on a single class of collateral. We have established lending policies that include a number of underwriting factors to be considered in making a loan, includingincluding: location, loan-to-value ratio, cash flow, interest rate, and credit history of the borrower.
Real Estate Loans
Construction and Development Loans. We offer loans both to individuals who are constructing personal residences and to real estate developers and building contractors for the acquisition of land for development and the construction of homes and commercial properties. These loans are generally in-market to known and established borrowers. Construction and development loans generally have a short term, such as one to two years. As of December 31, 2017, construction and development loans constituted approximately 7.3% of our total loan portfolio.
Mortgage Loans. We offer residential, commercial and agricultural mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2017, we had $1.64 billion in combined residential, commercial, including construction and development loans, and farmland mortgage loans outstanding, which represented approximately 71.8% of our total loan portfolio.
Residential mortgage lending is a focal point for us, as residential real estate loans constituted approximately 20.5% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2017. Included in this category are home equity loans made to individuals. As long-term interest rates have remained at relatively low levels since 2008, many customers opted for mortgage loans that have a fixed rate with 15- or 30-year maturities. We generally retain short-term residential mortgage loans that we originate for our own portfolio, but sell most long-term loans to other parties while retaining servicing rights on the majority of such loans. We also perform loan servicing activity for third parties on participations sold. At December 31, 2017, we serviced approximately $287.9 million in mortgage loans for others. We do not offer subprime mortgage loans and do not operate a wholesale mortgage business.
We also offer mortgage loans to our commercial and agricultural customers for the acquisition of real estate used in their businesses, such as offices, farmland, warehouses and production facilities, and to real estate investors for the acquisition of
apartment buildings, retail centers, office buildings and other commercial buildings. In deciding whether to make a commercial real estate loan, we consider, among other things, the experience and qualifications of the borrower as well as the value and cash flow of the underlying property. Some factors considered are net operating income of the property before debt service and depreciation, the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of the property’s net cash flow to debt service requirements), the cash flows of the borrower, the ratio of the loan amount to the property value and the overall creditworthiness of the prospective borrower. As of December 31, 2017, commercial and farmland real estate mortgage loans, including construction and development loans, constituted approximately 51.3% of our total loan portfolio.
Commercial and Industrial Loans
We have a strong commercial loan base. We focus on, and tailor our commercial loan programs to, small- to mid-sized businesses in our market areas. Our loan portfolio includes loans to wholesalers, manufacturers, contractors, business services companies and retailers. We provide a wide range of business loans, including lines of credit for working capital and operational purposes and term loans for the acquisition of equipment. Although most loans are made on a secured basis, loans may be made on an unsecured basis where warranted by the overall financial condition of the borrower. Terms of commercial business loans generally range from one to five years.
Our commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the reported cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The collateral support provided by the borrower for most of these loans and the probability of repayment is based on the liquidation of the pledged collateral and enforcement of a personal guarantee, if any exists. The primary repayment risks of commercial loans are that the cash flows of the borrower may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. As of December 31, 2017,2023, commercial and industrial loans comprised approximately 22.0%26.0% of our total loan portfolio.
Commercial Real Estate Loans
We also offer mortgage loans to our commercial and agricultural customers for the acquisition of real estate used in their businesses, such as offices, farmland, warehouses and production facilities, and to real estate investors for the acquisition of apartment buildings, retail centers, office buildings and other commercial buildings. In deciding whether to make a commercial real estate loan, we consider, among other things, the experience and qualifications of the borrower as well as the value and cash flow of the underlying property. Some factors considered are net operating income of the property before debt service and depreciation, the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of the property’s net cash flow to debt service requirements), the cash flows of the borrower, the ratio of the loan amount to the property value and the overall creditworthiness of the prospective borrower. The primary repayment risks of commercial real estate loans are that the cash flows of the borrower may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. As of December 31, 2023, commercial real estate loans constituted approximately 54.0% of our total loan portfolio.
Construction and Development Loans. We offer loans both to individuals who are constructing personal residences and to real estate developers and building contractors for the acquisition of land for development and the construction of homes and commercial properties. These loans are generally in-market to known and established borrowers. Construction and development loans generally have a short term, such as one to two years. As of December 31, 2023, construction and development loans constituted approximately 7.8% of our total loan portfolio.
Farmland. We offer agricultural mortgage loans to our agricultural customers for the acquisition of real estate used in their business, generally farmland. As of December 31, 2023, farmland loans represented approximately 4.5% of our total loan portfolio.
Multifamily. We offer mortgage loans to real estate investors for the acquisition of multifamily (apartment) buildings. As of December 31, 2023, multifamily loans represented approximately 9.3% of our total loan portfolio.
Commercial real estate-other. We offer commercial mortgage loans for the acquisition of real estate used in the customer’s business, such as offices, warehouses, and production facilities. As of December 31, 2023, commercial real estate-other loans represented approximately 32.3% of our total loan portfolio.
Residential Real Estate Loans
Residential mortgage comprised approximately 15.5% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2023. Included in this category are home equity loans made to individuals. We generally retain short-term residential mortgage loans that we originate for our own portfolio and sell most long-term residential mortgage loans to other parties, while retaining servicing rights on the majority of such loans. At December 31, 2023, we serviced approximately $931.2 million in mortgage loans for others. We do not offer subprime mortgage loans and do not operate a wholesale mortgage business.
Agricultural Loans
Due to the rural market areas in and around which we operate, agricultural loans are an important part of our business. Agricultural loans include loans made to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers and farming operations. Agricultural loans comprised approximately 4.6%2.9% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2017.
2023. Agricultural loans, most of which are secured by crops, livestock and machinery, are generally provided to finance capital improvements and farm operations as well as acquisitions of livestock and machinery. The ability of the borrower to repay may be affected by many factors outside of the borrower’s control, including adverse weather conditions, loss of livestock due to disease or other factors, declines in market prices for agricultural products and the impact of government regulations. The ultimate repayment of agricultural loans is dependent upon the profitable operation or management of the agricultural entity.
Our agricultural lenders work closely with our customers, including companies and individual farmers, and review the preparation of budgets and cash flow projections for the ensuing crop year. These budgets and cash flow projections are monitored closely during the year and reviewed with the customers at least once annually. We also work closely with governmental agencies to help agricultural customers obtain credit enhancement products such as loan guarantees or interest rate assistance.
Consumer Lending
Our consumer lending department provides allmany types of consumer loans, including personal loans (secured or unsecured) and automobile loans. Consumer loans typically have shorter terms, lower balances, higher yields and higher risks of default than one- to four-family residential real estate mortgage loans. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and are therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. As of December 31, 2017,2023, consumer loans comprised only 1.6% of our total loan portfolio.
Loan Pool Participations
The Company acquired its loan pool participations in the merger with former MidWestOne in 2008, and continued in this business following that merger. However, in 2010, the Company made the decision to exit this line of business and did not purchase new loan pool participations as existing pools paid down. The Company sold its remaining loan pool participations in June 2015, and has now completely exited this line of business.

Competition
We encounter competition in all areas of our business pursuits. To compete effectively, grow our market share, maintain flexibility and keep pace with changing economic and social conditions, we continuously refine and develop our products and services. The principal methods of competing in the financial services industry are through service, convenience and price.
The banking industry isbusiness and related financial service providers operate in a highly competitive and we face strong direct competition for deposits, loans, and other finance-related services. Our offices in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, and Colorado competemarket. The Company competes with other commercial banks, thrifts, credit unions, stockbrokers, finance divisions of auto and farm equipment companies, agricultural suppliers, and other agriculture-related lenders. Some of these competitors are local, while others are statewide, regional or nationwide. In addition, financial technology companies and digital asset service providers are emerging in key areas of banking. We compete for deposits, principally by offering depositors a wide variety of deposit programs, convenient office locations, hours and other services, and for loan originations primarily through the interest rates and loan fees we charge, the variety of our loan products and the efficiency and quality of services we provide to borrowers, with an emphasis on building long-lasting relationships. Some of the financial institutions and financial service organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as that imposed on federally insured state-chartered banks. The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of depository institutionsloans, and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of funds between parties.

Supervision and Regulation
General
FDIC-insured institutions, like the Bank, their holding companies and their affiliates are extensively regulated under federal and state law. As a result, our growth and earnings performance may be affected not only by management decisions and general
economic conditions, but also by the requirements of federal and state statutes and by the regulations and policies of various bank regulatory agencies, including the Iowa Division of Banking (the “Iowa Division”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, System (the “Federal Reserve”), the FDIC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”). Furthermore, taxation laws administered by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities, accounting rules developed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”),FASB, securities laws administered by the SEC and state securities authorities, and anti-money laundering laws enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) have an impact on our business. The effect of these statutes, regulations, regulatory policies and accounting rules are significant to our operations and results.
Federal and state banking laws impose a comprehensive system of supervision, regulation and enforcement on the operations of FDIC-insured institutions, their holding companies and affiliates that is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC-insured deposits and depositors of banks, rather than shareholders. These laws, and the regulations of the bank regulatory agencies issued under them, affect, among other things, the scope of our business, the kinds and amounts of investments wethe Company and the Bank may make, reserve requirements, required capital levels relative to our assets, the nature and amount of collateral for loans, the establishment of branches, ourthe ability to merge, consolidate and acquire, dealings with our insiders and affiliates and ourthe payment of dividends. In reaction to the global financial crisis and particularly following the passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), we experienced heightened regulatory requirements and scrutiny. Although the reforms primarily targeted systemically important financial service providers, their influence filtered down in varying degrees to community banks over time and caused our compliance and risk management processes, and the costs thereof, to increase. AfterThe Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 (“Regulatory Relief Act”) eliminated questions about the 2016 federal elections, momentumapplicability of certain Dodd-Frank Act reforms to decreasecommunity bank systems, including relieving us of any requirement to engage in mandatory stress tests, maintain a risk committee or comply with the regulatory burdenVolcker Rule’s complicated prohibitions on community banks gathered strength. Although these deregulatory trends continueproprietary trading and ownership of private funds. These reforms have been favorable to receive much discussion among the banking industry, lawmakers and the bank regulatory agencies, little substantive progress has yet been made. The true impact of proposed reforms remains difficult to predict with any certainty.our operations.
The supervisory framework for U.S. banking organizations subjects banks and bank holding companies to regular examination by their respective regulatory agencies, which results in examination reports and ratings that are not publicly available and that can impact the conduct and growth of their business. These examinations consider not only compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but also capital levels, asset quality and risk, management ability and performance, earnings, liquidity, and various other factors. The regulatory agencies generally have broad discretion to impose restrictions and limitations on the operations of a regulated entity where the agencies determine, among other things, that such operations are unsafe or unsound, fail to comply with applicable law or are otherwise inconsistent with laws and regulations or with the supervisory policies of these agencies. regulations.
The following is a summary of the material elements of the supervisory and regulatory framework applicable to the Company and the Bank, beginning with a discussion of the continuing regulatory emphasis on our capital levels.Bank. It does not describe all of the statutes, regulations and regulatory policies that apply, nor does it restate all of the requirements of those that are described. The descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provision.
Regulatory Emphasis on
The Role of Capital
Regulatory capital represents the net assets of a banking organization available to absorb losses. Because of the risks attendant to their business, FDIC-insured institutions are generally required to hold more capital, than other businesses, which
directly affects our earnings capabilities. WhileAlthough capital has historically been one of the key measures of the financial health of both bank holding companies and banks, its role became fundamentally more important in the wake of the global financial crisis, as the banking regulators recognized that the amount and quality of capital held by banks prior to the crisis was insufficient to absorb losses during periods of severe stress. Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III, discussed below, establish strengthened capital standards for banks and bank holding companies, require more capital to be held in the form of common stock and disallow certain funds from being included in capital determinations. These standards represent regulatory capital requirements that are meaningfully more stringent than those in place previously.
Minimum Required
Capital Levels.Banks have been required to hold minimum levels of capital based on guidelines established by the bank regulatory agencies since 1983. The minimums have been expressed in terms of ratios of capital“capital” divided by total“total assets. As discussed below, bank capital measures have become more sophisticated over the years and have focused more on the quality of capital and the risk of assets. Bank holding companies have historically had to comply with less stringent capital standards than their bank subsidiaries and have been able to raise capital with hybrid instruments such as trust preferred securities.” The Dodd-Frank Act mandated the Federal Reserve to establish minimum capital levels for holding companies on a consolidated basis as stringent as those required for FDIC-insured institutions. A result of this change is that the proceeds of hybrid instruments, such as trust preferred securities, are being excluded from capital over a phase-out period. However, if such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010 by bank holding companies with less than $15 billion of assets, they may be retained, subject to certain restrictions. Because we have assets of less than $15 billion, we are able to maintain our trust preferred proceeds as capital but we have to comply with new capital mandates in other respects and will not be able to raise capital in the future through the issuance of trust preferred securities.
The Basel International Capital Accords. The risk-based capital guidelines for U.S. banks sincebeginning in 1989 werehave been based upon the 1988international capital accord knownaccords (known as “Basel I”“Basel” rules) adopted by the international Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, a committee of central banks and bank supervisors that acts as the primary global standard-setter for prudential regulation, as implemented by the U.S. bank regulatory agencies on an interagency basis. The accordaccords recognized that bank assets for the purpose of the capital ratio calculations needed to be risk-weightedrisk weighted (the theory being that riskier assets should require more capital) and that off-balance sheet exposures needed to be factored in the calculations. Basel I had a very simple formula for assigning risk weights to bank assets from 0% to 100% based on four categories. In 2008,Following the banking agencies collaboratively began to phase-in capital standards based on a second capital accord, referred to as “Basel II,” for large or “core” international banks (generally defined for U.S. purposes as having total assets of $250 billion or more, or consolidated foreign exposures of $10 billion or more) known as “advanced approaches” banks. The primary focus of Basel II was on the calculation of risk weights based on complex models developed by each advanced approaches bank. As most banks were not subject to Basel II, the U.S. bank regulators worked to improve the risk sensitivity of Basel I standards without imposing the complexities of Basel II. This “standardized approach” increased the number of risk weight categories and recognized risks well above the original 100% risk-weighting. It is institutionalized by the Dodd-Frank Act for all banking organizations, even for the advanced approaches banks, as a floor.
On September 12, 2010,global financial crisis, the Group of Governors and Heads of Supervision, the oversight body of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, announced agreement on a strengthened set of capital requirements for banking organizations around the world, known as Basel III, to address deficiencies recognized in connection with the global financial crisis.
The Basel III Rule.In July 2013, the U.S. federal bankingRule.The Unites States bank regulatory agencies approved the implementation ofadopted the Basel III regulatory capital reforms, in pertinent part, and, at the same time, promulgated rules effecting certaineffected changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act, (the “Baselin regulations that were effective (with certain phase-ins) in 2015. Basel III, Rule”). In contrast toor the Basel III Rule, established capital requirements historically, which werestandards for banks and bank holding companies that are meaningfully more stringent than those in place previously: it increased the required quantity and quality of capital; and it required a more complex, detailed and calibrated assessment of risk in the formcalculation of guidelines, Basel III was released in the form of regulations by each of the regulatory agencies.risk weightings. The Basel III Rule is applicable to all banking organizations that are subject to minimum capital requirements, including federal and state banks and savings and loan
associations, as well as to most bank and savings and loan holding companies, other than “small bank holding companies” (generally bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $1 billion).
companies. The Basel III Rule required higher capital levels, increasedCompany and the required quality of capital, and required more detailed categories of risk-weighting of riskier, more opaque assets. For nearly every class of assets,Bank are each subject to the Basel III Rule requires a more complex, detailedas described below.
Basel III also increased the required quantity and calibrated assessmentquality of credit risk and calculation of risk weightings.
capital. Not only did the Basel III Ruleit increase most of the required minimum capital ratios in effect prior to January 1, 2015, but, in requiring that forms of capital be of higher quality to absorb loss, it introduced the concept of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, which consists primarily of common stock, related surplus (net of Treasury stock), retained earnings, and Common Equity Tier 1 minority interests subject to certain regulatory adjustments. The Basel III Rule also changed the definition of capital by establishing more stringent criteria that instruments must meet to be considered Additional Tier 1 Capital (primarily non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock that meets certain requirements) and Tier 2 Capital (primarily other types of preferred stock and subordinated debt, subject to limitations). A number of instruments
that qualified as Tier 1 Capital under Basel I do not qualify, or their qualifications will change. For example, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, which qualified as simple Tier 1 Capital under Basel I, does not qualify as Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, but qualifies as Additional Tier 1 Capital. The Basel III Rule also constrained the inclusion of minority interests, mortgage-servicing assets, and deferred tax assets in capital and requiresrequired deductions from Common Equity Tier 1 Capital in the event thatif such assets exceedexceeded a certain percentage of a banking institution’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital.
The Basel III Rule required minimum capital ratios as of January 1, 2015, as follows:
•A ratio of minimum Common Equity Tier 1 Capital equal to 4.5% of risk-weighted assets;
An increase in the minimum required amount•A ratio of Tier 1 Capital from 4%equal to 6% of risk-weighted assets;
•A continuation of the minimum required amount of Total Capital (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) at 8% of risk-weighted assets; and
•A minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 Capital to total quarterly average assets equal to 4% in all circumstances.
In addition, institutions that seek the freedomwant to make capital distributions (including for dividends and repurchases of stock) and pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers without restriction must also maintain 2.5% in Common Equity Tier 1 Capital attributable to a capital conservation buffer being phased in over four years beginning in 2016 (as of January 1, 2018, it had phased in to 1.875%).buffer. The purpose of the conservation buffer is to ensure that banking institutions maintain a buffer of capital that can be used to absorb losses during periods of financial and economic stress. Factoring in the fully phased-in conservation buffer increases the minimum ratios depicted above to 7% for Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, 8.5% for Tier 1 Capital and 10.5% for Total Capital.
Banking organizations (except for large, internationally active banking organizations) became subject to the new rules on January 1, 2015. However, there are separate phase-in/phase-out periods for: (i) the capital conservation buffer; (ii) regulatory capital adjustments and deductions; (iii) nonqualifying capital instruments; and (iv) changes to the prompt corrective action rules discussed below. The phase-in periods commenced on January 1, 2016 and extend until January 1, 2019.
Well-Capitalized Requirements.Requirements.The ratios described above are minimum standards in order for banking organizations to be considered “adequately capitalized.” Bank regulatory agencies uniformly encourage banks to hold more capital and be “well-capitalized” and, to that end, federal law and regulations provide various incentives for banking organizations to maintain regulatory capital at levels in excess of minimum regulatory requirements. For example, a banking organization that is well-capitalized may: (i) qualify for exemptions from prior notice or application requirements otherwise applicable to certain types of activities; (ii) qualify for expedited processing of other required notices or applications; and (iii) accept, roll-over or renew brokered deposits. Higher capital levels could also be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual banking organizations. For example, the Federal Reserve’s capital guidelines contemplate that additional capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk, or the risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading activities. Further, any banking organization experiencing or anticipating significant growth would be expected to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions (i.e., Tier 1 Capital less all intangible assets), well above the minimum levels.
Under the capital regulations of the FDIC and Federal Reserve for the Company and the FDIC for the Bank, in order to be well‑capitalized, a banking organizationwe must maintain:
•A Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio to risk-weighted assets of 6.5% or more;
•A ratio of Tier 1 Capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8% or more (6% under Basel I);more;
•A ratio of Total Capital to total risk-weighted assets of 10% or more (the same as Basel I);more; and
•A leverage ratio of Tier 1 Capital to total adjusted average quarterly assets of 5% or greater.
It is possible under the Basel III Rule to be well-capitalized while remaining out of compliance with the capital conservation buffer discussed above.
As of December 31, 2017:2023: (i) the Bank was not subject to a directive from the FDIC to increase its capital and (ii) the Bank was well-capitalized, as defined by FDIC regulations. As of December 31, 2017,2023, the Company had regulatory capital in excess of the Federal Reserve’s requirements and met the Basel III Rule requirements to be well-capitalized. We are also in compliance with the capital conservation buffer.
Prompt Corrective Action. An FDIC-insured institution’s capital playsAction. The concept of an important role in connection withinstitution being “well-capitalized” is part of a regulatory enforcement as well. Federal lawregime that provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take prompt“prompt corrective actionaction” to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions.institutions based on the capital level of each particular institution. The extent of the regulators’ powers depends on whether the institution in
question is “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically
undercapitalized,” in each case as defined by regulation. Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators’ corrective powers include: (i) requiring the institution to submit a capital restoration plan; (ii) limiting the institution’s asset growth and restricting its activities; (iii) requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including additional voting stock) or to sell itself; (iv) restricting transactions between the institution and its affiliates; (v) restricting the interest rate that the institution may pay on deposits; (vi) ordering a new election of directors of the institution; (vii) requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; (viii) prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; (ix) requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries; (x) prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and (xi) ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution.
Regulation
Community Bank Capital Simplification. Community banks have long raised concerns with bank regulators about the regulatory burden, complexity, and Supervisioncosts associated with certain provisions of the CompanyBasel III Rule. In response, Congress provided an “off-ramp” for institutions, like us, with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion. Section 201 of the Regulatory Relief Act instructed the federal banking regulators to establish a single “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (“CBLR”) of between 8 and 10%. Under the final rule, a community banking organization is eligible to elect the new framework if it has: less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, limited amounts of certain assets and off-balance sheet exposures, and a CBLR greater than 9%. We have not elected to use the CBLR framework at this time.
Supervision and Regulation of the Company
General.The Company, as the sole shareholder of the Bank, is a bank holding company that has elected financial holding company status. As a financialbank holding company, we are registered with, and subject to regulation, supervision and enforcement by, the Federal Reserve under the BHCA. We are legally obligated to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank in circumstances where we might not otherwise do so. Under the BHCA, we are subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve and are required to file with the Federal Reserve periodic reports of our operations and such additional information regarding us and the Bank as the Federal Reserve may require.
Acquisitions, Activities and Change in Control. Financial Holding Company Election.The primary purpose of a bank holding company is to control and manage banks. The BHCA generally requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve for any merger involving a bank holding company or any acquisition by a bank holding company of another bank or bank holding company. Subject to certain conditions (including deposit concentration limits established by the BHCA), the Federal Reserve may allow a bank holding company to acquire banks located in any state of the United States. In approving interstate acquisitions, the Federal Reserve is required to give effect to applicable state law limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the acquiring bank holding company and its FDIC-insured institution affiliates in the state in which the target bank is located (provided that those limits do not discriminate against out-of-state institutions or their holding companies) and state laws that require that the target bank have been in existence for a minimum period of time (not to exceed five years) before being acquired by an out-of-state bank holding company. Furthermore, in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act, bank holding companies must be well-capitalized and well-managed in order to effect interstate mergers or acquisitions. For a discussion of the capital requirements, see “Regulatory Emphasis on“—The Role of Capital” above.
The BHCA generally prohibits the Companyus from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank and from engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks or furnishing services to banks and their subsidiaries. This general prohibition is subject to a number of exceptions. The principal exception allows bank holding companies to engage in, and to own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the Federal Reserve prior to November 11, 1999 to be “so closely related to banking ... as to be a proper incident thereto.” This authority would permitpermits us to engage in a variety of banking-related businesses, including the ownership and operation of a savings association, or any entity engaged in consumer finance, equipment leasing, the operation of a computer service bureau (including software development) and mortgage banking and brokerage services. The BHCA does not place territorial restrictions on the domestic activities of nonbank subsidiaries of bank holding companies.
Additionally, bank holding companies that meet certain eligibility requirements prescribed by the BHCA and elect to operate as financial holding companies may engage in, or own shares in companies engaged in, a wider range of nonbanking activities, including securities and insurance underwriting and sales, merchant banking and any other activity that the Federal Reserve, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines by regulation or order is financial in nature or incidental to any such financial activity or that the Federal Reserve determines by order to be complementary to any such financial activity, andas long as the activity does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of FDIC-insured institutions or the financial system generally. We have elected to operate as a financial holding company.
In order to maintain our status as a financial holding company, both the Company and the Bank must be well-capitalized, well-managed, and the Bank must have a least a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”)CRA rating. If the Federal Reserve determines that we areeither the Company or the Bank is not well-capitalized or well-managed, wethe Federal Reserve will haveprovide a period of time in which to achieve compliance, but during the period of noncompliance, the Federal Reserve may place any limitations on us that it believes to bedeems appropriate. Furthermore, if non-compliance is based on the Federal Reserve determines thatfailure of the Bank has not receivedto achieve a satisfactory CRA rating, we willwould not be able to commence any new financial activities or acquire a company that engages in such activities.
Change in Control.Federal law also prohibits any person or company from acquiring “control” of an FDIC-insured depository institution or its holding company without prior notice to the appropriate federal bank regulator. “Control” is conclusively presumed to exist
upon the acquisition of 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of a bank or bank holding company, but may arise under certain circumstances between 10% and 24.99% ownership.
Capital Requirements.Bank holding companiesWe are required to maintain consolidated capital in accordance with Federal Reserve capital adequacy requirements. For a discussion of capital requirements, see “-Regulatory Emphasis on“—The Role of Capital” above.
Dividend Payments.Our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders may be affected by both general corporate law considerations and policies of the Federal Reserve applicable to bank holding companies. As an Iowa corporation, we are subject to the limitations of Iowa law, which allows us to pay dividends unless, after such dividend, (i) we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business or (ii) our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus any amount that would be needed if we were to be dissolved at the time of the dividend payment, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose rights are superior to the rights of the shareholders receiving the distribution.
As a general matter, the Federal Reserve has indicated that the board of directors of a bank holding company should eliminate, defer or significantly reduce dividends to shareholders if: (i) the company’s net income available to shareholders for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends; (ii) the prospective rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition; or (iii) the company will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios. The Federal Reserve also possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-banknonbank subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among these powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies. In addition, under the Basel III Rule, institutions that seek the freedom to pay dividends will have to maintain 2.5% in Common Equity Tier 1 Capital attributable to the capital conservation buffer to be phased in over three years beginning in 2016.buffer. See “-Regulatory Emphasis on“—The Role of Capital” above.
Incentive Compensation.There have been a number of developments in recent years focused on incentive compensation plans sponsored by bank holding companies and banks, reflecting recognition by the bank regulatory agencies and Congress that flawed incentive compensation practices in the financial industry were one of many factors contributing to the global financial crisis. Layered on top of that are the abuses in the headlines dealing with product cross-selling incentive plans. The result is interagency guidance on sound incentive compensation practices and proposed rulemaking by the agencies required under Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act.practices.
The interagency guidance recognized three core principles:principles. Effective incentive plans should: (i) provide employees incentives that appropriately balance risk and reward; (ii) be compatible with effective controls and risk-management; and (iii) be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight by the organization’s board of directors. Much of the guidance addresses large banking organizations and, because of the size and complexity of their operations, the regulators expect those organizations to maintain systematic and formalized policies, procedures, and systems for ensuring that the incentive compensation arrangements for all executive and non-executive employees covered by this guidance are identified and reviewed, and appropriately balance risks and rewards. Smaller banking organizations like the Companyus that use incentive compensation arrangements are expected to be less extensive, formalized, and detailed than those of the larger banks.
Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act required the banking agencies, the National Credit Union Administration, the SEC and the Federal Housing Finance Agency to jointly prescribe regulations that prohibit types of incentive-based compensation that encourage inappropriate risk taking and to disclose certain information regarding such plans. On June 10, 2016, the agencies released an updated proposed rule for comment. Section 956 will only apply to banking organizations with assets of greater than $1 billion. We have consolidated assets greater than $1 billion and less than $50 billion and we are considered a Level 3 banking organization under the proposed rules. The proposed rules contain mostly general principles and reporting requirements for Level 3 institutions so there are no specific prescriptions or limits, deferral requirements or claw-back mandates. Risk management and controls are required, as is board or committee level approval and oversight. Management expects to review its incentive plans in light of the proposed rulemaking and guidance and implement policies and procedures that mitigate unreasonable risk. As of December 31, 2017, these rules remain in proposed form.
Monetary Policy.The monetary policy of the Federal Reserve has a significant effect on the operating results of financial or bank holding companies and their subsidiaries.subsidiaries, and this is evidenced in its increases in the targeted federal funds rate throughout 2022 and 2023. Among the tools available to the Federal Reserve to affect the money supply are open market transactions in U.S. government securities and changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against bank deposits.borrowings. These means are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits.
Federal Securities Regulation.Our common stock is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,1933, as amended, (Exchange Act).and the Exchange Act. Consequently, we are subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading and other restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.
Corporate Governance. Governance. The Dodd-Frank Act addressed many investor protection, corporate governance and executive compensation matters that will affect most U.S. publicly traded companies. The Dodd-Frank ActIt increased shareholder influence over boards of directors by requiring companies to give stockholdersshareholders a non-bindingnonbinding vote on executive compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments, and authorizing the SEC to promulgate rules that would allow shareholders to nominate and solicit voters for their own candidates using a company’s proxy materials. The legislation also directed the Federal Reserve to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to executives of bank holding companies, regardless of whether such companies are publicly traded.
Regulation
Supervision and SupervisionRegulation of the Bank
General.The Bank is an Iowa-chartered bank. The deposit accounts of the Bank are insured by the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance
Fund (DIF)(“DIF”) to the maximum extent provided under federal law and FDIC regulations, currently $250,000 per insured depositor category. As an Iowa-chartered FDIC-insured bank, the Bank is subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the Iowa Division, the chartering authority for Iowa banks, and the FDIC, designated by federal law as the primary federal regulator of insured state banks that, like the Bank, are not members of the Federal Reserve System (nonmember banks).
Deposit Insurance.Insurance.As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system whereby FDIC-insured institutions pay insurance premiums at rates based on their risk classification. For institutions like the Bank that are not considered large and highly complex banking organizations, assessments are now based on examination ratings and financial ratios. The total base assessment rates currently range from 1.52.5 basis points to 3032 basis points.
At least semi-annually, the FDIC updates its loss and income projections for the DIF and, if needed, increases or decreases the assessment rates, following notice and comment on proposed rulemaking. The assessment base against which an FDIC-insured institution’s deposit insurance premiums paid toFor this purpose, the DIF are calculated is based on its average consolidated total assets less its average tangible equity. This method shifts the burden of deposit insurance premiums toward those large depository institutions that rely on funding sources other than U.S. deposits.
The reserve ratio is the FDIC insurance fundDIF balance divided by estimated insured deposits. TheIn response to the global financial crisis, the Dodd-Frank Act alteredincreased the minimum reserve ratio of the DIF, increasing the minimum from 1.15% to 1.35% of the estimated amount of total insured deposits, and eliminatingdeposits. In the requirement thatsemiannual update in June 2022, the FDIC pay dividends to FDIC-insured institutions when the reserve ratio exceeds certain thresholds. The reserve ratio reached 1.28% on September 30, 2017. If the reserve ratio does not reach 1.35% by December 31, 2018 (provided it is at least 1.15%), the FDIC will impose a shortfall assessment on March 31, 2019 on insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more. The FDIC will provide assessment credits to insured depository institutions, like the Bank, with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion for the portion of their regular assessments that contribute to growth in the reserve ratio between 1.15% and 1.35%. The FDIC will apply the credits each quarterprojected that the reserve ratio iswas at least 1.38% to offsetrisk of not reaching the regularstatutory minimum of 1.35 % by September 30, 2028, the statutory deadline. Based on this update, the FDIC approved an increase in initial base deposit insurance assessmentsassessment rate schedules by two basis points, applicable to all insured depository institutions. The increase was effective on January 1, 2023, applicable to the first quarterly assessment period of institutions with credits.the 2023 assessment (January 1 through March 31, 2023).
FICO Assessments.
In addition, because the total cost of the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank was approximately $16.3 billion, the FDIC adopted a special assessment for banks having deposits above $5 billion, at an annual rate of 13.4 basis points beginning with the first quarterly assessment period of 2024 (January 1 through March 31, 2024) with an invoice payment date of June 28, 2024, and will continue to paying basic deposit insurancecollect special assessments FDIC-insured institutions must pay Financing Corporation (FICO) assessments. FICO is a mixed-ownership governmental corporation chartered by the former Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Board pursuant to the Competitive Equality Banking Actfor an anticipated total of 1987 to function as a financing vehicleeight quarterly assessment periods. The base for the recapitalization of the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. FICO issued 30-year noncallable bonds of approximately $8.1 billion that mature in 2017 through 2019. FICO’s authorityspecial assessment is equal to issue bonds ended on December 12, 1991. Since 1996, federal legislation has required that all FDIC-insured institutions pay assessments to cover interest payments on FICO’s outstanding obligations. The FICO assessment rate is adjusted quarterly andan insured depository institution’s estimated uninsured deposits for the fourth quarter of 2017 was 54 cents per $100 dollars of assessableDecember 31, 2022 reporting period, adjusted to exclude the first $5 billion in estimated uninsured deposits.
Supervisory Assessments.All Iowa banks are required to pay supervisory assessments to the Iowa Division to fund the operations of that agency. The amount of the assessment is calculated on the basis of the Bank’s total assets. During the year ended December 31, 2017,2023, the Bank paid supervisory assessments to the Iowa Division totaling approximately $147,000.$195,000.
Capital Requirements.Banks are generally required to maintain capital levels in excess of other businesses. For a discussion of capital requirements, see “-Regulatory Emphasis on“—The Role of Capital” above.
Liquidity Requirements.Liquidity is a measure of the ability and ease with which bank assets may be converted to cash. Liquidmeet financial obligations such as deposits or other funding sources. Banks are required to implement liquidity risk management frameworks that ensure they maintain sufficient liquidity, including a cushion of unencumbered, high quality liquid assets, are those that can be converted to cash quickly if neededwithstand a range of stress events. The level and speed of deposit outflows contributing to the failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank in the first half of 2023 was unprecedented and contributed to acute liquidity and funding strain. These events have further underscored the importance of liquidity risk management and contingency funding planning by insured depository institutions like the Bank.
The primary role of liquidity risk management is to: (i) prospectively assess the need for funds to meet financial obligations. To remain viable, FDIC-insured institutions must have enough liquid assetsobligations; and (ii) ensure the availability of cash or collateral to meet their near-term obligations, such as withdrawalsfulfill those needs at the appropriate time by depositors. Becausecoordinating the global financial crisis was in part a liquidity crisis,various sources of funds available to the institution under normal and stressed conditions. Basel III also includes a liquidity framework that requires FDIC-insuredthe largest insured institutions to measure their liquidity against specific liquidity tests. One test, referred to as the Liquidity Coverage Ratio, (LCR),or LCR, is designed to ensure that the banking entity has an adequate stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets that can be converted easily and immediately in private markets into cash to meet liquidity needs for a 30-calendar day liquidity stress scenario. The other test, known as the Net Stable Funding Ratio, (NSFR),or NSFR, is designed to promote more medium- and long-term funding of the assets and activities of FDIC-insured institutions over a one-year horizon. These tests provide an incentive for banks and holding companies to increase their holdings in Treasury securities and other sovereign debt as a component of assets, increase the use of long-term debt as a funding source and rely on stable funding like core deposits (in lieu of brokered deposits).
In addition to liquidity guidelines already in place, the federal bank regulatory agencies implemented the Basel III LCR in September 2014, which requires large financial firms to hold levels of liquid assets sufficient to protect against constraints on their funding during times of financial turmoil, and in 2016 proposed implementation of the NSFR. While
Although these tests onlydo not, and will not, apply to the largest banking organizations in the country, certain elements are expectedBank, we continue to filter down to all FDIC-insured institutions. We are reviewingreview our liquidity risk management policies in light of the LCRregulatory requirements and NSFR.industry developments.
Stress Testing. A stress test is an analysis or simulation designed to determine the ability of a given FDIC-insured institution to deal with an economic crisis. In October 2012, U.S. bank regulators unveiled new rules mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act that require the largest U.S. banks to undergo stress tests twice per year, once internally and once conducted by the regulators. Stress tests are not required for banks with less than $10 billion in assets; however, the FDIC now recommends stress testing as means to identify and quantify loan portfolio risk.
Dividend Payments. The primary source of funds for the Company is dividends from the Bank. Under the Iowa Banking Act, Iowa-chartered banks generally may pay dividends only out of undivided profits. The Iowa Division may restrict the declaration or payment of a dividend by an Iowa-chartered bank, such as the Bank. The payment of dividends by any FDIC-insured institution is affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital pursuant to applicable capital adequacy guidelines and regulations, and a FDIC-insured institution generally is prohibited from paying any dividends if, following payment thereof, the
institution would be undercapitalized. As described above, the Bank exceeded its capital requirements under applicable guidelines as of December 31, 2017.2023. Notwithstanding the availability of funds for dividends, however, the FDIC and the Iowa Division may prohibit the payment of dividends by the Bank if either or both determine such payment would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. In addition, under the Basel III Rule, institutions that seek the freedom to pay dividends will have to maintain 2.5% in Common Equity Tier 1 Capital attributable to the capital conservation buffer to be phased in over three years beginning in 2016.buffer. See “Regulatory Emphasis on“—The Role of Capital” above.
State Bank Investments and Activities.The Bank is permitted to make investments and engage in activities directly or through subsidiaries as authorized by Iowa law. However, under federal law and FDIC regulations, FDIC-insured state banks are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from making or retaining equity investments of a type, or in an amount, that are not permissible for a national bank. Federal law and FDIC regulations also prohibit FDIC-insured state banks and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, from engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national bank unless the Bankbank meets, and continues to meet, its minimum regulatory capital requirements and the FDIC determines that the activity would not pose a significant risk to the DIF. These restrictions have not had, and are not currently expected to have, a material impact on the operations of the Bank.
Insider Transactions.The Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on “covered transactions” between the Bank and its “affiliates.” The Company is an affiliate of the Bank for purposes of these restrictions, and covered transactions subject to the restrictions include extensions of credit to the Company, investments in the stock or other securities of the Company and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Company as collateral for loans made by the Bank. The Dodd-Frank Act enhanced the requirements for certain transactions with affiliates, including an expansion of the definition of “covered transactions” and an increase in the amount of time for which collateral requirements regarding covered transactions must be maintained.
Certain limitations and reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by the Bank to its directors and officers, to directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, to principal shareholders of the Company and to “related interests” of such directors, officers and principal shareholders. In addition, federal law and regulations may affect the terms uponon which any person who is a director or officer of the Company or the Bank, or a principal shareholder of the Company, may obtain credit from banks with which the Bank maintains a correspondent relationship.
Safety and Soundness Standards/Risk Management.The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines that establish operational and managerial standards to promote the safety and soundness of FDIC-insured institutions. The guidelines set forth standards forapply to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and earnings.
In general, the safety and soundness guidelinesstandards prescribe the goals to be achieved in each area, and each institution is responsible for establishing its own procedures to achieve those goals. IfWhile regulatory standards do not have the force of law, if an institution fails to comply with any of the standards set forthoperates in the guidelines,an unsafe and unsound manner, the FDIC-insured institution’s primary federal regulator may require the institution to submit a plan for achieving and maintaining compliance. If aan FDIC-insured institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan, or fails in any material respect to implement a compliance plan that has been accepted by its primary federal regulator, the regulator is required to issue an order directing the institution to cure the deficiency. Until the deficiency cited in the regulator’s order is cured, the regulator may restrict the FDIC-insured institution’s rate of growth, require the FDIC-insured institution to increase its capital, restrict the rates that the institution pays on deposits or require the institution to take any action that the regulator deems appropriate under the circumstances. Noncompliance with the standards established by the safety and soundness guidelines may also constitute grounds for other enforcement action by the federal bank regulatory agencies, including cease and desist orders and civil money penalty assessments.
During the past decade, the bank regulatory agencies have increasingly emphasized the importance of sound risk management processes and strong internal controls when evaluating the activities of the FDIC-insured institutions they supervise. Properly managing risksrisk has been identified as critical to the conduct of safe and sound banking activities and has become even more important as new technologies, product innovation, and the size and speed of financial transactions have changed the nature of banking markets. The agencies have identified a spectrum of risks facing a banking institution including, but not limited to, credit, market, liquidity, operational, legal and reputational risk. In particular, recent regulatory pronouncements have focused on operationalThe key risk which arises from the potential that inadequate information systems, operational problems, breachesthemes identified for 2023 are discussed in internal controls, fraud, or unforeseen catastrophes will result in unexpected losses. New products and services, third-party risk and cybersecurity are critical sources of operational risk that FDIC-insured institutions must address in the current environment.“Item 1.A. Risk Factors” section. The Bank is expected to have active board and senior management oversight; adequate policies, procedures and limits; adequate risk measurement, monitoring and management information systems; and comprehensive internal controls.
Privacy and Cybersecurity.The Bank is subject to many U.S. federal and state laws and regulations governing requirements for maintaining policies and procedures to protect non-public confidential information of their customers. These laws require the Bank to periodically disclose its privacy policies and practices relating to sharing such information and permit consumers to opt out of their ability to share information with unaffiliated third parties under certain circumstances. They also impact the Bank’s ability to share certain information with affiliates and non-affiliates for marketing and/or non-marketing purposes, or to contact customers with marketing offers. In addition, the Bank is required to implement a comprehensive information security program
that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information. These security and privacy policies and procedures are in effect across all businesses and geographic locations.
Risks and exposures related to cybersecurity require financial institutions to design multiple layers of security controls to establish lines of defense and to ensure that their risk management processes also address the risk posed by compromised customer credentials, including security measures to reliably authenticate customers accessing internet-based services of the financial institution. Bank management is expected to maintain sufficient business continuity planning processes to ensure the rapid recovery, resumption and maintenance of the institution's operations after a cyber-attack involving destructive malware.
Branching Authority. Authority.Iowa banks, such as the Bank, have the authority under Iowa law to establish branches anywhere in the State of Iowa, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Federal law permits state and national banks to merge with banks in other states subject to: (i) regulatory approval; (ii) federal and state deposit concentration limits; and (iii) state law limitations requiring the merging bank to have been in existence for a minimum period of time (not to exceed five years) prior to the merger. The establishment of new interstate branches has historically been permitted only in those states the laws of which expressly authorize such expansion. The Dodd-Frank Act permits well-capitalized and well-managed banks to establish new interstate branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) without impediments. Federal law permits state and national banks to merge with banks in other states subject to: (i) regulatory approval; (ii) federal and state deposit concentration limits; and (iii) state law limitations requiring the merging bank to have been in existence for a minimum period of time (not to exceed five years) prior to the merger.
Transaction Account Reserves. Federal Reserve regulations require FDIC-insured institutions to maintain reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). For 2018, the first $16 million of otherwise reservable balances are exempt from reserves and have a zero percent reserve requirement; for transaction accounts aggregating more than $16 million to $122.3 million, the reserve requirement is 3% of total transaction accounts; and for net transaction accounts in excess of $122.3 million, the reserve requirement is 3% up to $122.3 million plus 10% of the aggregate amount of total transaction accounts in excess of $122.3 million. These reserve requirements are subject to annual adjustment by the Federal Reserve.
Community Reinvestment Act Requirements.The Community Reinvestment ActCRA requires the Bank to have a continuing and affirmative obligation in a safe and sound manner to help meet the credit needs of itsthe entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Federal regulators regularly assess the Bank’s record of meeting the credit needs of its communities. Applications for additional acquisitions would be affected by the evaluation of the Bank’s effectiveness in meeting its Community ReinvestmentCRA requirements.
On October 24, 2023, the bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule to strengthen and modernize the CRA regulations (the “CRA Rule”), some of which is effective on April 1, 2024. The CRA Rule is designed to update how CRA activities qualify for consideration, where CRA activities are considered, and how CRA activities are evaluated. More specifically, the bank regulatory agencies described the goals of the CRA Rule as follows: (i) to expand access to credit, investment, and basic banking services in low and moderate income communities; (ii) to adapt to changes in the banking industry, including mobile and internet banking by modernizing assessment areas while maintaining a focus on branch based areas; (iii) to provide greater clarity, consistency, and transparency in the application of the regulations through the use of standardized metrics as part of CRA evaluation and clarifying eligible CRA activities focused on low and moderate income communities and underserved rural communities; (iv) to tailor CRA rules and data collection to bank size and business model; and (v) to maintain a unified approach among the regulators. Management of the Bank is assessing the impact of the CRA Rule on its CRA lending and investment activities in its markets.
Anti-Money Laundering.The Bank Secrecy Act requirements.
Anti-Money Laundering. The Uniting(“BSA”) is the common name for a series of laws and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Requiredregulations enacted in the United States to Interceptcombat money laundering and Obstruct Terrorism Actthe financing of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act) isterrorism. They are designed to deny terrorists and criminals the ability to obtain access to the U.S. financial system and hashave significant implications for FDIC-insured institutions brokers, dealers and other businesses involved in the transfer of money. The USA PATRIOT Act mandatesso-called Anti-Money Laundering / Countering the Financing of Terrorism (“AML/CFT”) regime under the BSA provides a foundation to promote financial transparency and deter and detect those who seek to misuse the U.S. financial system to launder criminal proceeds, finance terrorist acts, or move funds for other illicit purposes. The laws mandate financial services companies to have policies and procedures with respect to measures designed to address any or all of the following matters:address: (i) customer identification programs; (ii) money laundering; (iii) terrorist financing; (iv) identifying and reporting suspicious activities and currency transactions; (v) currency crimes; and (vi) cooperation between FDIC-insured institutions and law enforcement authorities.
Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate.Concentration risk exists when FDIC-insured institutions deploy too many assets to any one industry or segment. A concentration in commercial real estate is one example of regulatory concern. The interagency Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk Management Practices guidance (CRE Guidance)(“CRE Guidance”) provides supervisory criteria, including the following numerical indicators, to assist bank examiners in identifying banks with potentially significant commercial real estate loan concentrations that may warrant greater supervisory scrutiny: (i) commercial real estate loans exceeding 300% of capital and increasing 50% or more in the preceding three years; or (ii) construction and land development loans exceeding 100% of capital. The CRE Guidance does not limit banks’ levels of commercial real estate lending activities, but rather guides institutions in developing risk management practices and levels of capital that are commensurate with the level and nature of their commercial real estate concentrations. On December 18, 2015, the federal banking agencies issued a statement to reinforce prudent risk-management practices related to CRE lending, having observed substantial growth in many CRE asset and lending markets, increased competitive pressures, rising CRE concentrations in banks, and an easing of CRE underwriting standards. The federal bank agencies reminded FDIC-insured institutions to maintain underwriting discipline and exercise prudent risk-management practices to identify, measure, monitor, and manage the risks arising from CRE lending. In addition, FDIC-insured institutions must maintain capital commensurate with the level and nature of their CRE concentration risk.
Based on the Bank’s loan portfolio as As of December 31, 2017, it2023, the Bank did not exceed the 300% guideline for commercial real estate loans.these guidelines.
Consumer Financial Services.The historical structure of federal consumer protection regulation applicable to all providers of consumer financial products and services changed significantly on July 21, 2011, when the CFPB commenced operations to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The CFPB has broad rulemaking authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all providers of consumer products and services, including the Bank, as well as the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. The CFPB has examination and enforcement authority over providers with more than $10 billion in assets. FDIC-insured institutions with $10 billion or less in assets, like the Bank, continue to be examined by their applicable bank regulators. We do not currently expect
Because abuses in connection with residential mortgages were a significant factor contributing to the financial crisis, many rules issued by the CFPB, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act, addressed mortgage and mortgage-related products, their underwriting, origination, servicing and sales. The Dodd-Frank Act significantly expanded underwriting requirements applicable to loans secured by 1-4 family residential real property and augmented federal law combating predatory lending practices. In addition to numerous disclosure requirements, the Dodd‑Frank Act and the CFPB’s rules imposed new standards for mortgage loan originations on all lenders, including banks and savings associations, in an effort to strongly encourage lenders to verify a borrower’s ability to repay, while also establishing a presumption of compliance for certain “qualified mortgages.” The CFPB’s rules have not had a significant impact on ourthe Bank’s operations, except for higher compliance costs.

Additionally, we undertake no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events, except as required under federal securities law.ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could have an impact on our ability to achieve operating results, growth plan goals and future prospects include, but are not limited to, the following:
credit quality deterioration or pronounced and sustained reduction in real estate market values could cause an increase in our allowance for loan losses and a reduction in net earnings;
our management’s ability to reduce and effectively manage interest rate risk and the impact of interest rates in general on the volatility of our net interest income;
changes in the economic environment, competition, or other factors that may affect our ability to acquire loans or influence the anticipated growth rate of loans and deposits and the quality of the loan portfolio and loan and deposit pricing;
fluctuations in the value of our investment securities;
governmental monetary and fiscal policies;
legislative and regulatory changes, including changes in banking, securities and tax laws and regulations and their application by our regulators, and changes in the scope and cost of FDIC insurance and other coverages;
the ability to attract and retain key executives and employees experienced in banking and financial services;
the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses to absorb the amount of actual losses inherent in our existing loan portfolio;
our ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to compete effectively in the marketplace;
credit risks and risks from concentrations (by geographic area and by industry) within our loan portfolio;
the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds, and other financial institutions operating in our markets or elsewhere or providing similar services;
the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of allowances for loan losses and estimation of values of collateral and various financial assets and liabilities;
the risks of mergers, including, without limitation, the related time and costs of implementing such transactions, integrating operations as part of these transactions and possible failures to achieve expected gains, revenue growth and/or expense savings from such transactions;
volatility of rate-sensitive deposits;
operational risks, including data processing system failures or fraud;
asset/liability matching risks and liquidity risks;
the costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation;
changes in general economic or industry conditions, nationally, internationally, or in the communities in which we conduct business;
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies and the FASB;
war or terrorist activities which may cause deterioration in the economy or cause instability in credit markets;
cyber-attacks; and
other factors and risks described under “Risk Factors” herein.
We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by the foregoing cautionary statements. Because of these risks and other uncertainties, our actual future results, performance or achievement, or industry results, may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, our past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our future results.
An investment in our securities is subject to risks inherent in our business. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below together with all of the other information included in this report. In addition to the risks and uncertainties described below, other risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The value or market price of our securities could decline due to any of these identified or other risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Economic and Market Risks Related to Our Business
Our business is concentrated in and largely dependent upon the continued growth and welfare of the Iowa City and Minneapolis/St. Paul markets.
We operate primarily in the Iowa City,central and eastern Iowa and Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota markets and their surrounding communities in the upper-Midwest. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are significantly impacted by changes in the economic conditions in those areas. Our success depends to a significant extent upon the business activity, population, income levels, deposits and real estate activity in these markets. Although our customers’ businessbusinesses and financial interests may extend well beyond these market areas, adverse economic conditions that affect these market areas could reduce our growth rate, affect the ability of our customers to repay their loans to us, affect the value of collateral underlying loans and generally affect our financial condition and results of operations. Unfavorable or uncertain economic and market conditions can be caused by declines in economic growth, business activity or investor or business confidence; limitations on the availability or increases in the cost of credit and capital; increases in inflation or interest rates; high unemployment; uncertainty in U.S. trade policies, legislation, treaties and tariffs; natural disasters; acts of war or terrorism; widespread disease or pandemics; or a combination of these or other factors. Because of our geographic concentration, we are less able than other regional or national financial institutions to diversify our credit risks across multiple markets.
We are subject to interest rate risk, which could adversely affect our financial condition and profitability.
Shifts in short-term interest rates may reduce our net interest income, which is the principal component of our earnings. The impact on earnings can be adverse when the slope of the yield curve flattens, that is, when short-term interest rates increase more than long-term interest rates or when long-term interest rates decrease more than short-term interest rates.
Changes in interest rates also can affect the value of loans, securities and other assets. An increase in interest rates that adversely affects the ability of borrowers to pay the principal or interest on loans may lead to an increase in nonperforming assets and a reduction of income recognized, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. Rising interest rates will likely result in a decline in fair value of our fixed-rate debt securities. Unrealized losses due to changes in interest rates on available for sale securities are recognized in other comprehensive income and reduce total shareholders’ equity and do not negatively impact our regulatory capital ratios. However, tangible common equity and the associated ratios used by many investors would be reduced. Realized losses from debt securities sales reduce our regulatory capital ratios.
We measure interest rate risk under various rate scenarios and using specific criteria and assumptions. A summary of this process, along with the results of our net interest income simulations, is included at Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk under “Interest Rate Risk.” Although we believe our current level of interest rate sensitivity is reasonable and effectively managed, significant fluctuations in interest rates may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Continued elevated levels of inflation could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The United States has experienced elevated levels of inflation throughout 2022 and 2023. Continued levels of inflation could have complex effects on our business, results of operations and financial condition, some of which could be materially adverse. Inflation could adversely impact our net interest income, while inflation-driven increases in our levels of noninterest expense could negatively impact our results of operations. Continued elevated levels of inflation could also cause increased volatility and uncertainty in the business environment, which could adversely affect loan demand and our clients’ ability to repay indebtedness. It is also possible that governmental responses to the current inflation environment, such as changes to monetary and fiscal policy that are too strict, or the imposition or threatened imposition of price controls, could adversely affect our business.
Monetary policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to being affected by general economic conditions, our earnings and growth are affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve. An important function of the Federal Reserve is to regulate the money supply and credit conditions. Among the instruments used by the Federal Reserve to implement these objectives are open market operations in U.S. government securities, adjustments of the discount rate and changes in reserve requirements against bank deposits. These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence overall economic growth and the distribution of credit, bank loans, investments and deposits. Their use also affects interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits.
The Federal Reserve made a series of significant increases to the target Federal Funds rate throughout 2022 and 2023 as part of an effort to combat elevated levels of inflation affecting the U.S. economy, which is expected to continue in the near term. This has helped drive a significant increase in prevailing interest rates, which has impacted the value of our securities portfolio, which had $78.0 million in net unrealized losses from available-for-sale investment securities and $179.9 million in net unrealized losses from held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2023. Higher interest rates can also negatively affect our customers’ businesses and financial condition, and the value of collateral securing loans in our portfolio.
Given the complex factors affecting the strength of the U.S. economy, including uncertainties regarding the persistence of inflation, geopolitical developments such as the conflicts between Israel and Palestine and between Russia and Ukraine and resulting disruptions in the global energy market, and tight labor market conditions and supply chain issues, there is a meaningful risk that the Federal Reserve and other central banks may raise interest rates too much, thereby limiting economic growth and potentially causing an economic recession or other political instability. This could decrease loan demand, harm the credit characteristics of our existing loan portfolio, impact our net interest income, impact our investment security valuation, and decrease the value of collateral securing loans in the portfolio.
The monetary policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. The effects of such policies upon our business, financial condition and results of operations cannot be predicted.
We could recognize losses on securities held in our securities portfolio, particularly if interest rates remain at their current levels or economic and market conditions deteriorate.
As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of our securities portfolio was approximately $1.69 billion. Factors beyond our control can significantly influence the fair value of securities in our portfolio and can cause potential adverse changes to the fair value of these securities. For example, fixed-rate securities acquired by us are generally subject to decreases in market value when interest rates rise. Additional factors include, but are not limited to, rating agency downgrades of the securities, defaults by the issuer or individual mortgagors with respect to the underlying securities, and instability in the credit markets. Any of the foregoing factors could result in the recognition of a loss through earnings. Because of changing economic and market conditions affecting interest rates, the financial condition of issuers of the securities and the performance of the underlying collateral, we may recognize realized and/or unrealized losses in future periods, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
At December 31, 2023, we had $78.0 million in net unrealized losses in our debt securities available for sale portfolio and $179.9 million in net unrealized losses in our held to maturity debt securities portfolio. If we are forced to liquidate any of those investments prior to maturity, including because of a lack of liquidity, we would recognize as a charge to earnings the losses
attributable to those securities. Our securities portfolio has an average duration of 4.9 years, so we expect an increase in realized losses if interest rates continue to increase in 2024.
Weather-related events and other natural disasters, as well as man-made disasters, could cause a disruption in our operations or other consequences that could have an adverse impact on financial results and condition.
A significant portion of our operations are located in areas that are susceptible to floods, droughts, tornadoes and other severe weather events. Severe weather events, natural disasters and effects of climate change, could cause disruptions to our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our overall business, results of operations or financial condition. While we maintain insurance covering many of these weather-related events, including coverage for lost profits and extra expense, there is no insurance against the disruption that a severe weather event could produce to the markets that we serve and the resulting adverse impact on our borrowers to timely repay their loans and the value of any collateral held by us. The severity and impact of weather-related events are difficult to predict and may be exacerbated by global climate change.
Risks arising from climate change, including physical risks and transition risks, could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
Climate change could present financial risks to us through changes in the physical climate that affect our operations directly or that impact our customer’s operations or loan collateral. Climate change also could present financial risks to us as a result of transition risks, such as societal and/or technological responses to climate change, which could include changes in climate policy or in the regulation of financial institutions with respect to risks posed by climate change. These climate-related physical risks and transition risks could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations due to the impact such risks may have on our operations and our customers, such as declines in asset values, reduced availability of insurance, significant interruptions to business operations, and negative consequences to business models and the need to make changes in response to those consequences. The risks of regulatory changes and compliance requirements related to climate change may impose operational burdens and increased compliance costs, capital requirements, or the risk of litigation, which could adversely affect the Company’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition.
Credit and Lending Risks
We must manage our credit risk effectively.
There are risks inherent in making any loan, including risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers, risks of nonpayment, risks resulting from uncertainties as to the future value of collateral and cash flows available to service debt and risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions. Default risk may arise from events or circumstances that are difficult to detect, such as fraud, or difficult to predict, such as catastrophic events affecting certain industries. In addition, we primarily serve the banking and financial services needs of small to mid-sized businesses. These businesses generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities, may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, may experience volatility in operating results, and may have elevated business continuity risk due to the limited size of the management group, any of which may impair a borrower’s ability to repay a loan. We attempt to minimize our credit risk through prudent loan application approval procedures, careful monitoring of the concentration of our loans within specific industries and periodic independent
reviews of outstanding loans by our credit review department. We periodically examine our credit process and implement changes to improve our procedures and standards. However, we cannot assure you that such approval and monitoring procedures will reduce these credit risks. If the overall economic climate in the United States, generally, or our market areas, specifically, declines, or even if it does not, our borrowers may experience difficulties in repaying their loans, and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require increases in the provision for loan losses, which would cause our net income and return on equity to decrease.
Our loan portfolio has a significant concentration of commercial real estate loans, which involve risks specific to real estate value.
Commercial real estate lending comprises a significant portion of our lending business. Specifically, commercial real estate loans were approximately 54.0% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2023. The small to mid-sized businesses that we lend to may have fewer resources to weathermarket value of real estate securing our commercial real estate loans can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Although a significant portion of such loans is secured by real estate as a secondary form of repayment, adverse business developments which may impair a borrower’s ability to repay a loan.
We primarily serve the banking and financial services needs of small to mid-sized businesses. These businesses generally have fewer financial resourcesaffecting real estate values in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities, may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, and may experience volatility in operating results, any of which may impair a borrower’s ability to repay a loan. In addition, the success of a small and medium-sized business often depends on the management talents and efforts of one or two people or a small group of people, and the death, disability or resignation of one or more of these peopleour markets could haveincrease the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio. Additionally, commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and repayment is generally dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the properties securing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt service. Economic events, including decreases in office occupancy as a material adverse impact onresult of the business and its abilityshift to repay its loan. Shouldremote working environments following the economic conditionsCOVID-19 pandemic, or governmental regulations outside of the control of the borrower or lender could negatively impact the future cash flow and market values of the affected properties.
If problems develop in the commercial real estate sector, particularly within one or more of our markets, the value of collateral securing our commercial real estate loans could decline, which could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and/or capital. In light of the continued general uncertainty that exists in whichthe economy and credit markets nationally, we operate, our borrowers may experience financial difficulties, anddeterioration in the levelperformance of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise, which could negatively impact our business.commercial real estate loan customers.
Commercial, industrial and agricultural loans make up a significant portion of our loan portfolio.
Commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans (including credit cards and commercially related overdrafts) were $609.1 million, or approximately 26.6%28.9% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2017.2023. Our commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most often, this collateral is accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Credit support provided by the borrower for most of these loans and the probability of repayment is based on the liquidation value of the pledged collateral and enforcement of a personal guarantee, if any exists. As a result, 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. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. In addition, if the U.S. economy declines, this could harm the businesses of our commercial and industrial customers and reduce the value of the collateral securing these loans.
Payments on agricultural loans are dependent on the successful operation or management of the farm property. The success of the farm may be affected by many factors outside the control of the borrower, including adverse weather conditions that prevent the planting of a crop or limit crop yields, (suchsuch as hail, drought and floods)floods (although borrowers may attempt to mitigate this risk by purchasing crop insurance), loss of livestock due to disease or other factors, declines in market prices for agricultural products (bothboth domestically and internationally)internationally, and the impact of government regulations, (includingincluding changes in price supports, subsidies, tariffs, trade agreements, and environmental regulations).regulations. In addition, many farms are dependent on a limited number of key individuals whose injury or death may significantly affect the successful operation of the farm. If the cash flow from a farming operation is diminished, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. The primary crops in our market areas are corn and soybeans. Accordingly, adverse circumstances affecting these crops could have an adverse effect on our agricultural portfolio. Likewise, agricultural operating loans involve a greater degree of risk than lending on residential properties, particularly in the case of loans that are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciating assets such as farm equipment or assets such as livestock or crops. In these cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation.
Our loan portfolio has a significant concentration of commercial real estate loans, which involve risks specific to real estate value.
Commercial real estate lending comprises a significant portion of our lending business. Specifically, commercial real estate loans were $1.17 billion, or approximately 51.3% of our total loan portfolio, as of December 31, 2017. Of this amount, $353.6 million, or approximately 15.5% of our total loan portfolio, are loans secured by owner-occupied property. The market value of real estate securing our commercial real estate loans can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Although a significant portion of such loans is secured by real estate as a secondary form of repayment, adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of our markets could increase the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio. Additionally, real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the properties securing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt service. Economic events or governmental regulations outside of the control of the borrower or lender could negatively impact the future cash flow and market values of the affected properties.
If problems develop in the commercial real estate sector, particularly within one or more of our markets, the value of collateral securing our commercial real estate loans could decline. In such case, we may not be able to realize the amount of security that we anticipated at the time of originating the loan, which could cause us to increase our provision for loan losses and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and/or capital. In light of the continued general uncertainty that exists in the economy and credit markets nationally, we may experience deterioration in the performance of our commercial real estate loan customers.
Our allowance for loancredit losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio.
We establish our reserve or “allowance”allowance for loancredit losses at a level considered appropriate by management to absorb probable loancurrent expected credit losses based on an analysis of the portfolio, market environment and other factors we deem relevant. The allowance for loancredit losses represents our estimate of probablecurrent expected losses in the portfolio at each balance sheet date and is based upon relevant information available to us. The allowance contains an allocation for probable losses that have been identified relating to specific borrowing relationships,loans specifically evaluated, as well as probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and credit undertakings that are not specifically identified.loans collectively evaluated. Additions to the allowance for loancredit losses, which are charged to earningsestimated through the provision for loan losses, are determined based on a variety of factors, including an analysis of the loan portfolio, historicalcurrent expected credit loss experiencemodel, which reflects current and an evaluation of current economic conditions in our market areas.forecasted conditions. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loancredit losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires us to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Although management has established an allowance for loancredit losses it believes is adequate to absorb probable and reasonably estimablecurrent expected credit losses, in our loan portfolio, the allowance may not be adequate. We could sustain credit losses that are significantly higher than the amount of our allowance for loancredit losses. Higher loan losses could arise for a variety of reasons, including changes in economic, operating and other conditions within our markets, as well as changes in the financial condition, cash flows, and operations of our borrowers.
At December 31, 2017,2023, our allowance for loancredit losses as a percentage of total gross loans held for investment, net was 1.23%1.25% and as a percentage of total nonperformingnonaccrual loans was approximately 117.59%198.91%. Although management believes that the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to absorb probable loan losses on any existing loans that may become uncollectible, we cannot predict loan losses with certainty, and we cannot assure you that our allowance for loan losses will prove sufficient to cover actual loan losses in the future. We may be required to make additional provisions for loan losses in the future to supplement the allowance for loan losses, either due to management’s decision to do so or because our banking regulators require us to do so. If we experience significant charge-offs in future periods or charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses, we may need additional provisions to replenish the allowance for loan losses. An increase in the allowance for loancredit losses will result in a decrease in net income and, most likely, capital, and may have a material negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Loan losses in excess of our reserves may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Nonperforming assets take significant time and resources to resolve and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, and could result in further losses in the future.
As of December 31, 2017,2023, our nonperforming loans, (which consist ofwhich includes nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings, and excluded purchased credit impaired loans) totaled $23.9$26.4 million, or 1.04%0.64% of our loan portfolio, and ourportfolio. Our nonperforming assets, (whichwhich include nonperforming loans plus other real estate owned)foreclosed assets, net, totaled $25.9$30.3 million, or 1.13%0.47% of loans. In addition, we had $8.4 million in accruing loans (not included in the nonperforming loan totals) that were 31-89 days delinquent as of December 31, 2017.total assets.
Our nonperforming assets adversely affect our net income in various ways. We do not record interest income on nonaccrual loans or other real estate owned,foreclosed assets, thereby adversely affecting our net income and returns on assets and equity, increasing our loan administration costs and adversely affecting our efficiency ratio. When we take collateral in foreclosure and similar proceedings, we are required to mark the collateral to its then-fairfair market value, which may result in a loss. These nonperforming loans and other real estate ownedforeclosed assets also increase our risk profile and the capital our regulators believe is appropriate in light of such risks. The resolution of nonperforming assets requires significant time commitments from management and can be detrimental
to the performance of their other responsibilities.responsibilities, and may also involve additional financial resources. If we experience increases in nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets, our net interest income may be negatively impacted and our loan administration costs could increase, each of which could have an adverse effect on our net income and related ratios, such as return on assets and equity.
We depend on the accuracy and completeness of information provided by customers and counterparties.
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with customers and counterparties, we may rely on information furnished to us by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial statements and other financial information. We also may rely on representations of customers and counterparties as to the accuracy and completeness of that
information. In deciding whether to extend credit, we may rely upon our customers' representations that their financial statements conform to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the customer. We also may rely on customer representations and certifications, or other audit or accountants' reports, with respect to the business and financial condition of our clients. Our financial condition, results of operations, financial reporting and reputation could be negatively affected if we rely on materially misleading, false, inaccurate or fraudulent information.
We may encounter issues with environmental law compliance if we take possession, through foreclosure or otherwise, of the real property that secures a loan.
A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real property. In the ordinary course of business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, we may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property's value or limit our ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Adverse weather affecting the markets we serve could hurt our business and prospects for growth.
Substantially all of our business is conducted in the states of Iowa and Minnesota, and a significant portion is conducted in rural communities. The upper-Midwest economy, in general, is heavily dependent on agriculture and therefore the economy, and particularly the economies of the rural communities that we serve, can be greatly affected by severe weather conditions, including hail, droughts, storms, tornadoes and flooding. Unfavorable weather conditions may decrease agricultural productivity or could result in damage to our branch locations or the property of our customers, all of which could adversely affect the local economy, which would negatively affect our profitability.Capital & Liquidity Risks
We are subject to interest rate risk, which could adversely affect our financial condition and profitability.
Shifts in short-term interest rates may reduce net interest income, which is the principal component of our earnings. Net interest income is the difference between the amounts received by us on our interest-earning assets and the interest paid by us on our interest-bearing liabilities. When interest rates rise, the rate of interest we pay on our liabilities such as deposits, may rise more quickly than the rate of interest that we receive on our interest bearing assets, such as loans, which could cause our profits to decrease. The impact on earnings can be more adverse when the slope of the yield curve flattens, that is, when short-term interest rates increase more than long-term interest rates or when long-term interest rates decrease more than short-term interest rates.
Changes in interest rates also can affect the value of loans, securities and other assets. An increase in interest rates that adversely affects the ability of borrowers to pay the principal or interest on loans may lead to an increase in nonperforming assets and a reduction of income recognized, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. Further, when we place a loan on nonaccrual status, we reverse any accrued but unpaid interest receivable, which decreases interest income. Subsequently, we continue to have a cost to fund the loan, which is reflected as interest expense, without any interest income to offset the associated funding expense. Thus, an increase in the amount of nonperforming assets would have an adverse impact on net interest income.
Rising interest rates will likely result in a decline in value of our fixed-rate debt securities. Any unrealized losses resulting from holding these securities are recognized in other comprehensive income (or net income, if the decline is other-than- temporary), and reduce total shareholders’ equity. Unrealized losses do not negatively impact our regulatory capital ratios; however, tangible common equity and the associated ratios used by many investors would be reduced. If debt securities in an unrealized loss position are sold, such losses become realized and will reduce our regulatory capital ratios.
In late 2015, the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee began the process of raising short-term interest rates from near-zero levels, however, the overall level of interest rates remains low. If short-term interest rates remain at these low levels for a prolonged period, and assuming longer term interest rates do not increase, we could experience net interest margin compression as our rates on our interest earning assets would decline while rates on our interest-bearing liabilities could fail to decline in tandem. Furthermore, if short-term interest rates continue to increase and long-term interest rates do not rise, or increase but at a slower rate, we could experience net interest margin compression as our rates on interest-earning assets decline measured relative to rates
on our interest-bearing liabilities. Any such occurrence could have a material adverse effect on our net interest income and on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We measure interest rate risk under various rate scenarios and using specific criteria and assumptions. A summary of this process, along with the results of our net interest income simulations, is included at Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk under “Interest Rate Risk.” Although we believe our current level of interest rate sensitivity is reasonable and effectively managed, significant fluctuations in interest rates may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Liquidity risks could affect operations and jeopardize our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Liquidity is essential to our business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of loans and other sources could have a substantial negative effect on our liquidity. Our most important source of funds consists of customer deposits. Deposit balances can decrease when customers perceive alternative investments, such as the stockmoney market providefunds, treasury securities, and certificates of deposit at other financial institutions as providing a better risk/return trade-off. If customers move money out of bank deposits and into other investments, we could lose a relatively low cost source of funds, which would require us to seek other, potentially higher cost funding alternatives. Other primary sources of funds consist of cash from operations, investment securities maturities and sales, and funds from sales of our stock. Additional liquidity is provided by brokered deposits, bank lines of credit, repurchase agreements and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank and the FHLB. The Federal Reserve established the BTFP on March 12, 2023, offering qualifying banks loans of up to one year in length collateralized by qualifying assets, including U.S. securities valued at par, to serve as a source of additional liquidity against high-quality securities and reducing an institution's need to quickly sell high-quality securities to meet liquidity needs. The Federal Reserve has announced that it is ending the BTFP and will cease making new loans under this program on March 11, 2024. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our activities or on terms that are acceptable to us could be impaired by factors that affect us directly or the financial services industry or economy in general, such as disruptions in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry.
Additionally, uninsured deposits historically have been viewed by the FDIC as less stable than insured deposits. According to statements made by the FDIC staff and the leadership of the federal banking agencies, customers with larger uninsured deposit account balances often are small- and mid-sized businesses that rely upon deposit funds for payment of operational expenses and, as a result, are more likely to closely monitor the financial condition and performance of their depository institutions. As a result, in the event of financial distress, uninsured depositors historically have been more likely to withdraw their deposits. If a significant portion of our deposits were to be withdrawn within a short period of time such that additional sources of funding would be required to meet withdrawal demands, the Company may be unable to obtain funding at favorable terms, which may have an adverse effect on our net interest margin. Moreover, obtaining adequate funding to meet our deposit obligations may be more challenging during periods of elevated prevailing interest rates, such as the present period. Our ability to attract depositors during a time of actual or perceived distress or instability in the marketplace may be limited. Further, interest rates paid for borrowings generally exceed the interest rates paid on deposits. This spread may be exacerbated by higher prevailing interest rates. In addition, because our AFS investment securities lose value when interest rates rise, after-tax proceeds resulting from the sale of such assets may be diminished during periods when interest rates are elevated. Under such circumstances, we may be required to access funding from sources such as the Federal Reserve’s discount window in order to manage our liquidity risk.
At December 31, 2023, our average borrowed funds increased to $425.2 million, compared to $372.1 million at December 31, 2022. As a result, our cost of funds increased, which resulted in a decline in our net interest margin in 2023 compared to 2022, that was partially offset by higher interest earning asset yields.
Any decline in available funding could adversely impact our ability to originate loans, invest in securities, pay our expenses, pay dividends to our shareholders, or fulfill obligations such as repaying our borrowings or meeting deposit withdrawal demands, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may desire or be required to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available.
We are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. We intend to grow our business organically and to explore opportunities to grow our business by taking advantage of attractive acquisition opportunities, and such growth plans may require us to raise additional capital to ensure that we have adequate levels of capital to support such growth on top of our current operations. In order to accommodate future capital needs, we maintain a universal shelf registration statement, which allowedallows for future sale up to $75$100 million of securities. During the first and second quarters of 2017, we utilized the shelf registration and issued an additional 750,000 shares of common stock resulting in $24.4 million of new capital for the Company, net of expenses, leaving approximately $49.3 million of securities available to be issued under our shelf registration statement. Our ability to raise additional capital will depend on conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions and a number of other factors, including investor perceptions regarding the banking industry, market conditions and governmental activities, and on our financial condition and performance. If we were required to raise additional capital in the current interest rate environment, we believe the pricing and other terms investors may require in such an offering may not be attractive to us. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of our ability to raise additional capital, if needed or desired, on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed or desired, our ability to further expand our operations through internal growth or acquisitions could be materially impaired.
We face the risk of possible future goodwill impairment.
We performed a valuation analysis of our goodwill, $64.7 million related to our acquisition of Central, as of October 1, 2017, and the analysis indicated no impairment existed. We will be required to perform additional goodwill impairment assessments on at least an annual basis, and perhaps more frequently, which could result in goodwill impairment charges. Any future goodwill impairment charge on the current goodwill balance, or future goodwill arising out of acquisitions that we are required to take, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations by reducing our net income or increasing our net losses.
We could recognize losses on securities held in our securities portfolio, particularly if interest rates increase or economic and market conditions deteriorate.
As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of our securities portfolio was approximately $642.0 million. Factors beyond our control can significantly influence the fair value of securities in our portfolio and can cause potential adverse changes to the fair value of these securities. For example, fixed-rate securities acquired by us are generally subject to decreases in market value when interest rates rise. Additional factors include, but are not limited to, rating agency downgrades of the securities, defaults by the issuer or individual mortgagors with respect to the underlying securities, and instability in the credit markets. Any of the foregoing factors could cause an other-than-temporary impairment in future periods and result in realized losses. The process for determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary usually requires subjective judgments about the future financial
performance of the issuer and any collateral underlying the security in order to assess the probability of receiving all contractual principal and interest payments on the security. Because of changing economic and market conditions affecting interest rates, the financial condition of issuers of the securities and the performance of the underlying collateral, we may recognize realized and/ or unrealized losses in future periods, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Downgrades in the credit rating of one or more insurers that provide credit enhancement for our state and municipal securities portfolio may have an adverse impact on the market for, and valuation of, these types of securities.
We invest in tax-exempt and taxable state and local municipal securities, some of which are insured by monoline insurers. As of December 31, 2017,2023, we had $268.3$671.9 million of amortized cost of municipal securities, (recorded values), which represented 41.7%34.5% of our total securities portfolio.portfolio based upon amortized cost. Following the onset of the financial crisis, several of these insurers came under scrutiny by rating agencies. Even though management generally purchases municipal securities on the overall credit strength of the issuer, the reduction in the credit rating of an insurer may negatively impact the market for and valuation of our investment securities. Such a downgrade could adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to pay dividends is subject to certain limitations and restrictions, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to continue paying the same level of dividends in the future that we have paid in the past or that we will be able to pay future dividends at all.
Our ability to pay dividends is limited by regulatory restrictions and the need to maintain sufficient consolidated capital.
The ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us is limited by its obligations to maintain sufficient capital and liquidity and by other general restrictions on dividends that are applicable to the Bank, including the requirement under the Iowa Banking Act that the Bank may not pay dividends in excess of its undivided profits. If these regulatory requirements are not met, the Bank will not be able to pay dividends to us, and we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock.
In addition, as a bank holding company, our ability to declare and pay dividends is subject to the guidelines of the Federal Reserve regarding capital adequacy and dividends. The Federal Reserve guidelines generally require us to review the effects of the cash payment of dividends on common stock and other Tier 1 capital instruments (i.e.,(e.g. perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred debt) in light of our earnings, capital adequacy and financial condition. As a general matter, the Federal Reserve indicates that the board of directors of a bank holding company (including a financial holding company) should eliminate, defer or significantly reduce the Company’scompany’s dividends if:
•the company’s net income available to shareholders for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends;
•the prospective rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition; or
•the company will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios.
Also, banking institutions that do not maintain a capital conservation buffer, comprised of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, of 2.5% above the regulatory minimum capital requirements will face constraints on the payment of dividends, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers based on the amount of the shortfall, unless prior regulatory approval is obtained. Accordingly, if the Bank fails to maintain the applicable minimum capital ratios and the capital conservation buffer, distributions to the Company may be prohibited or limited, and if the Company fails to maintain the applicable minimum capital ratios and the capital conservation buffer, distributions to or stock repurchases from the Company’s shareholders may be prohibited or limited.
As of December 31, 2017,2023, we had $23.8$42.3 million of junior subordinated debentures held by threefive statutory business trusts that we control. Interest payments on the debentures, which totaled $0.9$3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017,2023, must be paid before we pay dividends on our capital stock, including our common stock. We have the right to defer interest payments on the debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarters. However, if we elect to defer interest payments, all deferred interest must be paid before we may pay dividends on our capital stock.
We have counterparty risk, and therefore, we may be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions.
Our ability to attractengage in routine funding and retain managementother transactions could be negatively affected by the actions and key personnel may affect future growththe soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services institutions are generally interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, credit, reputational, or other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and earnings.

In certain circumstances, the collateral that we hold may be insufficient to retain our executive officers, current management teams, branch managers and loan officers will continuefully cover the risk that a counterparty defaults on its obligations, which may cause us to be important to the successful implementation of our strategy. It is also critical, as we grow, to be able to attract and retain qualified additional management and loan officers with the appropriate level of experience and knowledge about our market areas to implement our operating strategy. The Dodd-Frank Act also directs the Federal Reserve to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives. These rules, when adopted, may make it more difficult to attract and retain the people we need to operate our businesses and limit our ability to promote our objectives through our compensation and incentive programs.

Competitive and financial condition.
Strategic Risks
We face intense competition in all phases of our business from banks, and other financial institutions.institutions, and non-banks.
The banking and financial services businesses in our markets are highly competitive. Our competitors include large regional banks, local community banks, savings and loan associations, securities and brokerage companies, mortgage companies, insurance companies, finance companies, money market mutual funds, small local credit unions as well as large aggressive and expansion-minded credit unions, fintech companies, and other non-bank financial services providers. Many of these competitors are not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as we are. Many of our unregulated competitors compete across geographic boundaries and are able to provide customers with a competitive alternative to traditional banking services.services, including financial transaction processing, lending platforms, and maintenance of funds.
While we do not offer products relating to digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and other similar assets, there has been a significant increase in digital asset adoption globally over the past several years. Certain characteristics of digital asset transactions, such as the speed with which such transactions can be conducted, the ability to transact without the involvement of regulated intermediaries, the ability to engage in transactions across multiple jurisdictions, and the anonymous nature of the transactions, are appealing to certain consumers notwithstanding the various risks posed by such transactions. Accordingly, digital asset service providers—which, at present are not subject to the same degree of scrutiny and oversight as banking organizations and other financial institutions—are becoming active competitors to more traditional financial institutions. The process of eliminating banks as intermediaries, known as “disintermediation,” could result in the loss of fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and the related income generated from those deposits. The loss of these revenue streams and the lower cost of deposits as a source of funds could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Potential partnerships with digital asset companies, moreover, could also entail significant investment.
Increased competition in our markets may result in a decrease in the amounts of our loans and deposits, reduced spreads between loan rates and deposit rates, increased pressure on underwriting standards, or loan terms that are more favorable to the borrower. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our results, our financial condition, and our ability to grow and remain profitable. If increased competition causes us to significantly discountIn addition, the interest rates we offer on loans or increase the amount we pay on deposits, our net interest income could be adversely impacted. If increased competition causes us to modify our underwriting standards, we could be exposed to higher losses from lending activities. Additionally, many of our competitors are much larger in total assets and capitalization, have greater access to capital markets, have larger lending limits and offer a broader range of financial services than we can offer.
Consumers and businesses are increasingly using non-banks to complete their financial transactions, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Technology and other changes are allowing consumers and businesses to complete financial transactions that historically have involved banks through alternative methods. For example, the wide acceptance of Internet-based commerce has resulted in a number of alternative payment processing systems and lending platforms in which banks play only minor roles. Customers can now maintain funds in prepaid debit cards or digital currencies, and pay bills and transfer funds directly without the direct assistance of banks. The diminishing role of banks as financial intermediaries has resulted and could continue to result in the loss of fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and the related income generated from those deposits. The loss of these revenue streams and the potential loss of lower cost deposits as a source of funds could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have a continuing need for technological change, and we may not have the resources to effectively implement new technology.
The financial services industry continues to undergo rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to enabling us to better serve our customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and the potential for cost reduction. Our future success will depend in part upon our ability, both internally and through our core processor, and other third party partners, to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations as we continue to grow our market share. Many of our larger competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. As a result, they may be able to offer additional or superior products to those that we will be able to offer, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Accordingly, we cannot provide you with assurance that we will be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing such products and services to our customers.
The widespread adoption of new technologies, including internet services, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies and payment systems, could require us in the future to make substantial expenditures to modify or adapt our existing products and services as we grow and develop new products to satisfy our customers’ expectations, remain competitive and comply with regulatory guidance.
We may be adversely affected by risks associated with completed and potential acquisitions, including execution risks, failure to realize anticipated transaction benefits, and failure to overcome integration risks, which could adversely affect our growth and profitability.
We plan to continue to grow our businesses organically, but remain open to considering potential bank or other acquisition opportunities, in addition to our recent acquisitions of DNVB and IOFB, that make financial and strategic sense. In the event that we do pursue strategic acquisitions, we may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated transaction benefits. Acquisition activities could be material to our business and involve a number of risks, including the following:
•We may incur time and expense associated with identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions and negotiating potential transactions, resulting in our attention being diverted from the operation of our existing business.
•We are exposed to potential asset and credit quality risks and unknown or contingent liabilities of the banks or businesses we acquire. If these issues or liabilities exceed our estimates, our earnings, capital and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
•The acquisition of other entities generally requires integration of systems, procedures and personnel of the acquired entity. This integration process is complicated and time consuming and can also be disruptive to the customers and employees of the acquired business and our business. If the integration process is not conducted successfully, we may not realize the anticipated economic benefits of acquisitions within the expected time frame, or ever, and we may lose customers or employees of the acquired business. We may also experience greater than anticipated customer losses even if the integration process is successful.
•To finance an acquisition, we may borrow funds or pursue other forms of financing, such as issuing convertible preferred stock, which may have high dividend rates or may be highly dilutive to holders of our common stock, thereby increasing our leverage and diminishing our liquidity, or issuing capital stock, which could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders.
•We may be unsuccessful in realizing other anticipated benefits from acquisitions. For example, we may not be successful in realizing anticipated cost savings.
In addition to the foregoing, we may face additional risks in acquisitions to the extent we acquire new lines of business, new products, or enter new geographic areas, in which we have little or no current experience, especially if we lose key employees of the acquired operations. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with acquisitions. Our inability to overcome risks associated with acquisitions could have an adverse effect on our ability to successfully implement our acquisition growth strategy and grow our business and profitability.
Accounting and Tax Risks
Our accounting estimates and risk management processes rely on analytical and forecasting models.
The processes that we use to estimate expected credit losses and to measure the fair value of assets carried on the balance sheet at fair value, as well as the processes used to estimate the effects of changing interest rates and other market measures on our financial condition and results of operations, depend upon the use of analytical and forecasting models. These models are complex and reflect assumptions that may not be accurate, particularly in times of market stress or other unforeseen circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we have processes and procedures in place governing internal valuation models and their testing and calibration, such assumptions are complex as we must make judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Different assumptions could have resulted in significant changes in valuation, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The Company is subject to changes in tax law and may not realize tax benefits which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Changes in tax laws at national or state levels, such as the new 1.0% excise tax on stock buybacks for publicly traded companies, could have an effect on the Company’s short-term and long-term earnings. Changes in tax laws could affect the Company’s earnings as well as its customers’ financial positions, or both. Changes in tax laws could also require the revaluation of the Company’s net deferred tax position, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, current portions of the Company’s net deferred tax assets relate to tax-effected state net operating loss carry-forwards, the utilization of which may be further limited in the event of certain material changes in the Company’s ownership.
Operational Risks
We face the risk of possible future goodwill impairment.
We are required to perform additional goodwill impairment assessments on at least an annual basis, and perhaps more frequently, which could result in additional goodwill impairment charges. Any future goodwill impairment charge on the current goodwill balance, or future goodwill arising out of acquisitions that we are required to take, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations by reducing our net income or increasing our net losses.
Our ability to attract and retain management and key personnel may affect future growth and earnings.
Much of our success and growth has been influenced by our ability to attract and retain management experienced in banking and financial services and familiar with the communities in our market areas. Our ability to attract and retain executive officers, management teams, branch managers and loan officers will continue to be important to the successful implementation of our strategy. The Dodd-Frank Act also directs the Federal Reserve to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives. These rules, when adopted, may make it more difficult to attract and retain the people we need to operate our businesses and limit our ability to promote our objectives through our compensation and incentive programs. The unexpected loss of services of any key management personnel, or the inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Labor shortages and a failure to attract and retain qualified employees could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
A number of factors may adversely affect the labor force available to us or increase labor costs, including high employment levels, decreased labor force size and participation rates. Although we have not experienced any material labor shortage to date, we continue to observe an overall tightening of and an increase in competition in local labor markets. A sustained labor shortage or increased turnover rates within our employee base and also within our third-party vendors could lead to increased costs, such as increased compensation expense to attract and retain employees, as well as decreased efficiency. In addition, if we are unable to hire and retain employees capable of performing at a high-level, or if mitigation measures we take to respond to a decrease in labor availability have unintended negative effects, our business could be adversely affected. An overall labor shortage, lack of skilled labor, increased turnover or labor inflation, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches or failures of our information security controls or cybersecurity-related incidents could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
As a bank, we are susceptible to fraudulent activity, information security breaches and cybersecurity-related incidents that may be committed against us, our third party partners, or our clients, which may result in financial losses or increased costs to us or our clients, disclosure or misuse of our information or our client information, misappropriation of assets, privacy breaches against our clients, litigation or damage to our reputation. Such fraudulent activity may take many forms, including check fraud, electronic fraud, wire fraud, phishing, social engineering and other dishonest acts. Information security breaches and cybersecurity-related incidents may include fraudulent or unauthorized access to systems used by us or our clients, denial or degradation of service attacks, andransomware, malware or other cyber-attacks.
In recent periods, there
There continues to be a rise in electronic fraudulent activity, security breaches and cyber-attacks within the financial services industry, especially in the commercial banking sector due to cyber criminals targeting commercial bank accounts. Moreover, in recent periods, severalaccounts, and as a result of increasingly sophisticated methods of conducting cyber attacks, including those employing artificial intelligence. Several large corporations, including financial institutions, vendors specializing in providing services to financial institutions and retail companies, have suffered major data breaches, in some cases exposing not only confidential and proprietary corporate information, but also sensitive financial and other personal information of their customers and employees and subjecting them to potential fraudulent activity.
Some of our clients may have been affected by these breaches, which could increase their risks of identity theft and other fraudulent activity that could involve their accounts with us.
Information pertaining to us and our clients is maintained, and transactions are executed, on networks and systems maintained by us and certain third party partners, such as our online banking, mobile banking or accounting systems. The secure maintenance and transmission of confidential information, as well as execution of transactions over these systems, are essential to protect us and our clients against fraud and security breaches and to maintain the confidence of our clients. Breaches of information security also may occur through intentional or unintentional acts by those having access to our systems or the confidential information of our clients, including employees. In addition, increases in criminal activity levels and sophistication, advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries, vulnerabilities in third party technologies (including browsers and operating systems) or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the technology, processes and controls that we use to prevent fraudulent transactions and to protect data about us, our clients and underlying transactions, as well as the technology used by our clients to access our systems. Our third party partners’ inability to anticipate, or failure to adequately mitigate, breaches of security could result in a number of negative events, including losses to us or our clients, loss of business or clients, damage to our reputation, the incurrence of additional expenses, disruption to our business, additional regulatory scrutiny or penalties or our exposure to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. While we maintain insurance coverage that may, subject to policy terms and conditions, cover certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses.
Issues with the use of artificial intelligence in our marketplace may result in reputational harm or liability, or could otherwise adversely affect our business.
Artificial intelligence, including generative artificial intelligence, is or may be enabled by or integrated into our products or those developed by our third party partners. As with many developing technologies, artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that could affect its further development, adoption, and use, and therefore our business. Artificial intelligence algorithms may be flawed, for example datasets may contain biased information or otherwise be insufficient, and inappropriate or controversial data practices could impair the acceptance of artificial intelligence solutions and result in burdensome new regulations. If the analyses that products incorporating artificial intelligence assist in producing for us or our third party partners are deficient, biased or inaccurate, we could be subject to competitive harm, potential legal liability and brand or reputational harm. The use of artificial intelligence may also present ethical issues. If we or our third party partners offer artificial intelligence enabled products that are controversial because of their purported or real impact on human rights, privacy, or other issues, we may experience competitive harm, potential legal liability and brand or reputational harm. In addition, we expect that governments will continue to assess and implement new laws and regulations concerning the use of artificial intelligence, which may affect or impair the usability or efficiency of our products and services and those developed by our third party partners.
The Company is or may become involved from time to time in suits, legal proceedings, information-gathering requests, investigations and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory agencies that may lead to adverse consequences.
Many aspects of our business and operations involve the risk of legal liability, and in some cases we or our subsidiaries have been named or threatened to be named as defendants in various lawsuits arising from our business activities. In addition, companies in our industry are frequently the subject of governmental and self-regulatory agency information-gathering requests, reviews, investigations and proceedings. The results of such proceedings could lead to significant civil or criminal penalties, including monetary penalties, damages, adverse judgments, settlements, fines, injunctions, restrictions on the way in which we conduct our business, or reputational harm.
Although we establish accruals for legal proceedings when information related to the loss contingencies represented by those matters indicates both that a loss is probable and that the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, we do not have accruals for all legal proceedings where we face a risk of loss. In addition, due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and unpredictability of the outcome of legal proceedings, amounts accrued may not represent the ultimate loss to us from the legal proceedings in question. Accordingly, our ultimate losses may be higher, and possibly significantly so, than the amounts accrued for legal loss contingencies, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We depend on information technology and telecommunications systems of third parties, and any systems failures, interruptions or data breaches involving these systems could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
Our business is highly dependent on the successful and uninterrupted functioning of our information technology and telecommunications systems, third party servicers, accounting systems, mobile and online banking platforms and financial intermediaries. We outsource to third parties many of our major systems, such as data processing and mobile and online banking. The failure of these systems, or the termination of a third party software license or service agreement on which any of these systems is based, could interrupt our operations. Because our information technology and telecommunications systems interface with and depend on third party systems, we could experience service denials if demand for such services exceeds capacity or such third party systems fail or experience interruptions. A system failure or service denial could result in a deterioration of our ability to process loans or gather deposits and provide customer service, compromise our ability to operate effectively, result in potential noncompliance with applicable laws or regulations, damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business or subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In addition, failures of third parties to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or fraud or misconduct on the part of employees of any of these third parties, could disrupt our operations or adversely affect our reputation.
It may be difficult for us to replace some of our third party vendors, particularly vendors providing our core banking and information services, in a timely manner if they are unwilling or unable to provide us with these services in the future for any reason, and even if we are able to replace them, it may be at higher cost or result in the loss of customers. Any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Our operations rely heavily on the secure processing, storage and transmission of information and the monitoring of a large number of transactions on a minute-by-minute basis, and even a short interruption in service could have significant consequences. We also interact with and rely on retailers, for whom we process transactions, as well as financial counterparties and regulators. Each of these third parties may be targets of the same types of fraudulent activity, computer break-ins and other cyber securitycybersecurity breaches described above, including those employing artificial intelligence, and the cyber securitycybersecurity measures that they maintain to mitigate the risk of such activity may be different than our own and may be inadequate.
As a result of financial entities and technology systems becoming more interdependent and complex, a cyber incident, information breach or loss, or technology failure that compromises the systems or data of one or more financial entities could have a material impact on counterparties or other market participants, including ourselves. As a result of the foregoing, our
ability to conduct business may be adversely affected by any significant disruptions to us or to third parties with whom we interact.
We are subject to certain operational risks, including, but not limited to, customer or employee fraud and data processing system failures and errors.
Employee errors and employee and customer misconduct could subject us to financial losses or regulatory sanctions and seriously harm our reputation. Misconduct by our employees could include hiding unauthorized activities from us, improper or unauthorized activities on behalf of our customers or improper use of confidential information. It is not always possible to prevent
employee errors and misconduct, and the precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective in all cases. Employee errors could also subject us to financial claims for negligence.
We maintain a system of internal controls and insurance coverage to mitigate against operational risks, including data processing system failures and errors and customer or employee fraud. Should our internal controls fail to prevent or detect an occurrence, and if any resulting loss is not insured or exceeds applicable insurance limits, such failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines.
Our financial performance is impacted by accounting principles, policies and guidelines. Some of these policies require the use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets or liabilities and financial results. Some of our accounting policies are critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. If such estimates or assumptions underlying our financial statements are incorrect, we may experience material losses.
From time to time, the FASB and the SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards or the interpretation of those standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. These changes are beyond our control, can be difficult to predict and could materially impact how we report our financial condition and results of operations. Changes in these standards are continuously occurring, and given recent economic conditions, more drastic changes may occur. The implementation of such changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
A new accounting standard may require us to increase our allowance for loan losses and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The FASB has adopted a new accounting standard that will be effective for the Company and the Bank for our first fiscal year after December 15, 2019. This standard, referred to as Current Expected Credit Loss, or CECL, will require financial institutions to determine periodic estimates of lifetime expected credit losses on loans, and recognize the expected credit losses as allowances for loan losses. This will change the current method of providing allowances for loan losses that are probable, which may require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, and to greatly increase the types of data we will need to collect and review to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or expenses incurred to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our framework for managing risks may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss to us.
Our risk management framework seeks to mitigate risk and loss to us. We have established processes and procedures intended to identify, measure, monitor, report and analyze the types of risk to which we are subject, including liquidity risk, credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk, operational risk, compensation risk, legal and compliance risk, and reputational risk, among others. However, as with any risk management framework, there are inherent limitations to our risk management strategies as there may exist, or develop in the future, risks that we have not appropriately anticipated or identified. Our ability to successfully identify and manage risks facing us is an important factor that can significantly impact our results. If our risk management framework proves ineffective, we could suffer unexpected losses and could be materially adversely affected.
Our internal controls may be ineffectiveineffective.
Management regularly reviews and updates our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our reputation could be damaged
We depend on the accuracy and completeness of information provided by negative publicity.customers and counterparties.
Reputational risk,
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with customers and counterparties, we may rely on information furnished to us by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial statements and other financial information. We also may rely on representations of customers and counterparties as to the riskaccuracy and completeness of that information. In deciding whether to extend credit, we may rely upon our business,customers' representations that their financial statements conform to GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, or results of operations from negative publicity, is inherent inand cash flows of the customer. We also may rely on customer representations and certifications, or other audit or accountants' reports, with respect to the business and financial condition of our business. Negative publicity can result from actual or alleged conduct in a numberclients. Our financial condition, results of areas, including legaloperations, financial reporting and regulatory compliance, lending practices, corporate governance, litigation, inadequate protection of customer data, ethical behavior of our
employees, and from actions taken by regulators, ratings agencies and others as a result of that conduct. Damage to our reputation could impact our ability to attract new or maintain existing loan and deposit customers, employees and business relationships.
We have counterparty risk and therefore we may be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions.
Our ability to engage in routine funding and other transactions could be negatively affected by the actions and the soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services institutions are generally interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, credit or other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties and regularly engage in transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including commercial banks, brokers and dealers, investment banks and other institutional customers. Many of these transactions may expose us to credit or other risks if another financial institution experiences adverse circumstances. In certain circumstances, the collateral that we hold may be insufficient to fully cover the risk that a counterparty defaults on its obligations, which may cause us to experience losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be adversely affected by risks associated with completed and potential acquisitions, including execution risks, failure to realize anticipated transaction benefits, and failure to overcome integration risks, which could adversely affect our growth and profitability.
We plan to continue to grow our businesses organically but remain open to considering potential bank or other acquisition opportunities that make financial and strategic sense. In the event that we do pursue acquisitions, we may have difficulty executing on acquisitions and may not realize the anticipated benefits of any transaction we complete. Any of the foregoing matters could materially and adversely affect us.
In any acquisition that we complete, we may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated transaction benefits if the integration process takes longer or is more costly than expected or otherwise fails to meet our expectations. Acquisition activities could be material to our business and involve a number of risks, including the following:
We may incur time and expense associated with identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions and negotiating potential transactions, resulting in our attention being diverted from the operation of our existing business;
We are exposed to potential asset and credit quality risks and unknown or contingent liabilities of the banks or businesses we acquire. If these issues or liabilities exceed our estimates, our earnings, capital and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
The acquisition of other entities generally requires integration of systems, procedures and personnel of the acquired entity. This integration process is complicated and time consuming and can also be disruptive to the customers and employees of the acquired business and our business. If the integration process is not conducted successfully, we may not realize the anticipated economic benefits of acquisitions within the expected time frame, or ever, and we may lose customers or employees of the acquired business. We may also experience greater than anticipated customer losses even if the integration process is successful.
To finance an acquisition, we may borrow funds or pursue other forms of financing, such as issuing voting and/or non-voting common stock or convertible preferred stock, which may have high dividend rights or may be highly dilutive to holders of our common stock, thereby increasing our leverage and diminishing our liquidity, or issuing capital stock, which could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders.
We may be unsuccessful in realizing the anticipated benefits from acquisitions. For example, we may not be successful in realizing anticipated cost savings. We also may not be successful in preventing disruptions in service to existing customer relationships of the acquired institution, which could lead to a loss in revenues.
In addition to the foregoing, we may face additional risks in acquisitions to the extent we acquire new lines of business or new products, or enter new geographic areas, in which we have little or no current experience, especially if we lose key employees of the acquired operations. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming these risksrely on materially misleading, false, inaccurate or any other problems encountered in connection with acquisitions. Our inability to overcome risks associated with acquisitions could have an adverse effect on our ability to successfully implement our acquisition growth strategy and grow our business and profitability.fraudulent information.
Regulatory Risks Relating to the Regulation of our Industry
We operate in a highly regulated industry, and the laws and regulations to which we are subject, or changes in them, or our failure to comply with them, may adversely affect us.
The Company and the Bank are subject to extensive regulation by multiple regulatory agencies. These regulations may affect the manner and terms of delivery of our services. If we do not comply with governmental regulations, we may be subject
to fines, penalties, lawsuits or material restrictions on our businesses in the jurisdiction where the violation occurred, which may adversely affect our business operations. Changes in these regulations can significantly affect the services that we provide, as well as our costs of compliance with such regulations. In addition, political developments, including possible changes in law introduced by the new presidential administration or the appointment of new personnel in regulatory agencies, add uncertainty to the implementation, scope and timing of regulatory reforms. In addition, adverse publicity and damage to our reputation arising from the failure or perceived failure to comply with legal, regulatory or contractual requirements could affect our ability to attract and retain customers.
There is uncertainty surrounding the potential legal, regulatory and policy changes by the current presidential administration in the U.S. that may directly affect financial institutions and the global economy.
The current presidential administration has indicated it would like to reduce the burdens associated with certain financial reform regulations including the Dodd-Frank Act, which has increased regulatory uncertainty. Changes in federal policy and at regulatory agencies are expected over time through policy and personnel changes, which could lead to changes in the level of oversight of the financial services industry. The nature, timing and economic and political effects of potential changes to the current legal and regulatory framework affecting financial institutions is uncertain, and at this time, it is unclear whether future changes will adversely affect our operating environment and therefore our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Legislative and regulatory reforms applicable to the financial services industry may have a significant impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Dodd-Frank Act, among other things, imposed new capital requirements on bank holding companies; changed the base for FDIC insurance assessments to a bank’s average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity, rather than its deposit base; permanently raised the current standard deposit insurance limit to $250,000; and expanded the FDIC’s authority to raise the premiums we pay for deposit insurance. The Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB as an independent entity within the Federal Reserve. This entity has broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement authority over consumer financial products and services, including deposit products, residential mortgages, home-equity loans and credit cards and contains provisions on mortgage-related matters such as steering incentives, determinations as to a borrower’s ability to repay and prepayment penalties. However, the CFPB experienced a leadership change in late 2017, which is subject to ongoing litigation and may impact the CFPB’s policies and supervision and enforcement efforts. Moreover, the Dodd-Frank Act included provisions that affect corporate governance and executive compensation at all publicly traded companies.
In addition, the Company and the Bank are subject to the Basel III Rule. The Basel III Rule became effective on January 1, 2015 withstringent capital and liquidity requirements.
As a phase-in period through 2019 for manyresult of the new rules. The Basel III Rule also expanded the definition of capital by establishing additional criteria that capital instruments must meet to be considered Additional Tier 1 Capital (i.e., Tier 1 Capital in addition to Common Equity) and Tier 2 Capital. A number of instruments that previously generally qualified as Tier 1 Capital do not qualify or their qualifications changed upon the effectivenessimplementation of the Basel III Rule. The Basel III Rule maintained the general structureRules, we were required to meet new and increased capital requirements beginning on January 1, 2015.In addition, beginning in 2016, banking institutions that do not maintain a capital conservation
buffer, comprised of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, ratio. In orderof 2.5% above the regulatory minimum capital requirements face constraints on the payment of dividends, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to be a “well-capitalized” depository institution underexecutive officers based on the Basel III Rule, an institution mustamount of the shortfall, unless prior regulatory approval is obtained.Accordingly, if the Bank or the Company fails to maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio of 6.5% or more, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 8% or more, a Total Capital ratio of 10% or more,the applicable minimum capital ratios and a leverage ratio of 5% or more. Institutions must also maintain athe capital conservation buffer, consisting of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital.
These provisions, as well as any other aspects of current or proposed regulatory or legislative changes to laws applicabledistributions by the Bank to the financial industry, impactCompany, or dividends or stock repurchases by the profitability of our business activities andCompany, may change certain of our business practices, including the ability to offer new products, obtain financing, attract deposits, make loans, and achieve satisfactory interest spreads, and could expose us to additional costs, including increased compliance costs. These changes also may require us to invest significant management attention and resources to make any necessary changes to operationsbe prohibited or limited.
Future increases in order to comply, and could therefore also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Monetary policies and regulations of the Federal Reserveminimum capital requirements could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results ofnet income. Furthermore, if we fail to comply with the minimum capital requirements, our failure could result in our regulators taking formal or informal actions against us which could restrict our future growth or operations.
In addition to being affected by general economic conditions, our earnings and growth are affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve. An important function of the Federal Reserve is to regulate the money supply and credit conditions. Among the instruments used by the Federal Reserve to implement these objectives are open market operations in U.S. government securities, adjustments of the discount rate and changes in reserve requirements against bank deposits. These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence overall economic growth and the distribution of credit, bank loans, investments and deposits. Their use also affects interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits.
The monetary policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. The effects of such policies upon our business, financial condition and results of operations cannot be predicted.
Federal and state regulators periodically examine our business, and we may be required to remediate adverse examination findings.
The Federal Reserve, the FDIC, and the Iowa Division of Banking periodically examine our business, including our compliance with laws and regulations. If, as a result of an examination, a banking agency were to determine that our financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of any of our operations had become unsatisfactory, or that we were in violation of any law or regulation, they may take a number of different remedial actions as they deem appropriate. These actions include the power to enjoin “unsafe or unsound” practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in our capital, to restrict our growth, to assess civil money penalties, to fine or remove officers and directors and, if it is concluded that such conditions cannot be corrected or there is an imminent risk of loss to depositors, to terminate our deposit insurance and place our bank into receivership or conservatorship. Any regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to numerous laws designed to protect consumers, including the CRA and fair lending laws, and failure to comply with these laws could lead to a wide variety of sanctions.
The CRA requires our bank,the Bank, consistent with safe and sound operations, to ascertain and meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income areas. Our bank’sThe Bank’s failure to comply with the CRA could, among other things, result in the denial or delay of certain corporate applications filed by us or our bank,the Bank, including applications for branch openings or relocations and applications to acquire, merge or consolidate with another banking institution or holding company. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act and other fair lending laws and regulations prohibit discriminatory lending practices by financial institutions. The U.S. Department of Justice, federal banking agencies, and other federal agencies are responsible for enforcing these laws and regulations. A challenge to an institution’s compliance with fair lending laws and regulations could result in a wide variety of sanctions, including damages and civil money penalties, injunctive relief, restrictions on mergers and acquisitions activity, restrictions on expansion, and restrictions on entering new business lines. Private parties may also challenge an institution’s performance under fair lending laws in private class action litigation. Such actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Non-compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act, the Bank Secrecy Act or other laws and regulations could result in fines or sanctions against us.
The USA PATRIOT Act and the Bank Secrecy Act require financial institutions to design and implement programs to prevent financial institutions from being used for money laundering and terrorist activities. If such activities are detected, financial institutions are obligated to file suspicious activity reports with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the Treasury. These rules require financial institutions to establish procedures for identifying and verifying the identity of customers seeking to open new financial accounts. Federal and state bank regulators also have focused on compliance with Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines or sanctions, including restrictions on conducting acquisitions or establishing new branches. In recent years, several banking institutions have received large fines for non-compliance with these laws and regulations. While we have developed policies and procedures designed to assist in compliance with these laws and regulations, these policies and procedures may not be effective in preventing violations of these laws and regulations. Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could also have serious reputational consequences for us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Risks Related to Our
Common Stock Risks
There is a limited trading market for our common shares, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid for them.
Although our common shares are listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the trading in our common shares has substantially less liquidity than many other companies listed on Nasdaq. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the market of willing buyers and sellers of our common shares at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and
market conditions over which we have no control. We cannot assure you that the volume of trading in our common shares will increase in the future.
The stock market can be volatile, and fluctuations in our operating results and other factors could cause our stock price to decline.
The stock market has experienced, and may continue to experience, fluctuations that significantly impact the market prices of securities issued by many companies. Market fluctuations could adversely affect our stock price. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, systemic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, loss of investor confidence, interest rate changes, or international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Moreover, our operating results may fluctuate and vary from period to period due to the risk factors set forth herein. As a result, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our stock price could fluctuate significantly in response to our quarterly or annual results, annual projections and the impact of these risk factors on our operating results or financial position.
Certain shareholders own a significant interest in the companyCompany and may exercise their control in a manner detrimental to your interests.
Certain MidWestOne shareholders who are descendants of our founder collectively control approximately 23.0%17.9% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, certain MidWestOne shareholders that previously owned ATB collectively control approximately 19.2% of our outstanding common stock. These shareholders may have the opportunity to exert influence on the outcome of matters required to be submitted to shareholders for approval. In addition, the significant level of ownership by these shareholders may contribute to the rather limited liquidity of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

The following tableCompany has established an information security program that uses a risk-based methodology to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its information. The Board of Directors and the Enterprise Risk Management Committee set enterprise risk strategy and make risk-informed decisions, which includes assessment and response to cybersecurity risk. The Board has appointed an Information Security Officer (“ISO”) to oversee the program. The program utilizes a combination of automated tools, manual processes, and third-party assessments to identify and assess potential cybersecurity threats. The program is supported by an organization structure that reflects support from across the business. Program objectives and results are regularly reported to the Enterprise Risk Management Committee, Audit Committee, and Board of Directors.
The Company conducts risk assessments and compliance audits, both internally and by independent third parties for comparison against industry standards, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) cybersecurity framework and Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (“FFIEC”) guidance. Risk assessment results are used to develop appropriate cybersecurity controls and risk mitigation strategies, which are implemented throughout the organization.
We maintain a listingcybersecurity incident response plan to help ensure a timely, consistent, and effective response to actual or attempted cybersecurity incidents impacting the Company. The plan includes considerations for (1) detection, (2) analysis, which may include timely notice to our Board if deemed material or appropriate, (3) containment, (4) eradication, (5) recovery and (6) post-incident review. In addition, we also maintain a formal information security training program for all employees that includes training on topics such as phishing and email security best practices. Employees are also required to complete regular training on data privacy.
While we have a cybersecurity program designed to protect and preserve the integrity of our information systems, the Company also maintains cybersecurity insurance to manage potential liabilities resulting from specific cyber-attacks. However, it's important to note that although we maintain cybersecurity insurance, there can be no guarantee that our insurance coverage limits will protect against any future claims or that such insurance proceeds will be paid to us in a timely manner. For further discussion of risks from cybersecurity threats, see the section captioned “Operational Risks” in Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We use third party partners to audit, assess, and test our cybersecurity program governance and control effectiveness on an annual basis. These engagements include an IT general controls review, internal and external penetration testing, social engineering testing, and incident response exercises. Findings and recommendations from these engagements are reported to the Enterprise Risk Management and Audit Committees.
We rely on our information technology systems and networks in connection with many of our business activities. Some of these networks and systems are managed by third-party service providers and are not under our direct control. The Company has implemented a third-party risk management program to manage the cybersecurity risks associated with its use of third-party service providers.
Cybersecurity Incidents
While we have no knowledge that we have experienced a cybersecurity incident that has had or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on our operations or financial results as of the date of this Form 10-K, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter such an incident in the future, notwithstanding the cybersecurity measures and processes we have undertaken. Such incidents, whether or not successful, could result in our incurring significant costs related to, for example, remediating or restoring our internal systems or information, implementing additional threat protection measures, defending against litigation, responding to regulatory inquiries or actions, paying damages, providing customers with incentives to maintain a business relationship with us, or taking other remedial steps with respect to third parties, as well as incurring significant reputational harm. Further, there is increasing regulation regarding responses to cybersecurity incidents, including reporting to regulators, which could subject us to additional liability and reputational harm. Cybersecurity threats are expected to continue to be persistent and severe.
Cybersecurity Governance
The Board and the Enterprise Risk Management Committee have oversight responsibility for our information security program and receive regular updates on the status of the program and any emerging threats or incidents with the potential to impact operations or financial performance. To ensure that the Board is fully informed about cybersecurity risks, the ISO provides regular reports to both the Board and the Enterprise Risk Management Committee. These regular reports include an overview of the Company's current cybersecurity risk assessment, key risk areas, and any significant cyber incidents that have occurred or are reasonably likely to occur. In addition, the Enterprise Risk Management Committee receives regular updates on cybersecurity trends and emerging threats from program management. Our Audit Committee also plays a role in overseeing the Company’s operating facilities:cybersecurity and information security program. The Audit Committee reviews final reports from third-party engagements and receives presentations at its meetings concerning cybersecurity risk and related issues. All members of the Board receive copies of Audit Committee reports.
Company management is responsible for assessing and administering the cybersecurity risk program. Specifically, the Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) and the ISO are responsible for the prevention, mitigation, detection, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. The ISO has relevant expertise in cybersecurity, with 18 years of experience managing components of the information technology and information security programs at the Company. The ISO has established expertise and proficiency in cybersecurity, and holds several cybersecurity certifications, including Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), and Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC). The ISO and CIO work closely with other management positions, including the Chief Risk Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, President, and CEO to ensure that the Company has effective communication and understanding regarding its cybersecurity risk and related controls.
The IT and Security teams monitor the prevention, mitigation, detection, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents through various processes. These processes include risk assessments, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, program exercises, security incident and event management, continuous monitoring, and threat intelligence gathering.
In 2023, the Board held an education session with outside experts on cybersecurity. The Company has also implemented a cybersecurity training and compliance program to ensure regular education for all employees. In addition, external parties are engaged to assess Company information security programs and practices, including incident management, service continuity, and information security compliance programs.

Income Statement:
•Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2017, was $104.2decreased $22.2 million, up $4.6 million, or 4.6%, from $99.6$166.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily due2022, to an increase of $7.0 million, or 6.2%, in interest income. Loan interest income increased $4.2 million, or 4.3%, to $102.4 million for the year 2017 compared to the year 2016, primarily due to an increase in portfolio loan yield, which included the effect of an increase in the merger-related discount accretion to $4.8$144.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared2023. Tax equivalent net interest income (a non-GAAP financial measure - see the "Non-GAAP Presentations" section for a reconciliation to $3.2the most comparable GAAP equivalent) decreased $22.3 million, from $171.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as an increase in average loan balances of $40.0 million, or 1.9%, between the two periods. Interest expense was $15.12022, to $149.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017,2023. The decrease reflected increases in interest paid on interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds of $65.5 million and $9.5 million, respectively, due to higher costs and volumes, coupled with a decrease of $2.5 million in interest income earned from investment securities due to lower volumes. These decreases were offset by an increase of $2.4$54.4 million or 19.0%,in loan interest income, which reflected higher loan volume stemming from new loan production, coupled with an increase in loan yield.
•Credit loss expense was $5.8 million during 2023, compared with credit loss expense of $4.5 million in 2022, which was primarily attributable to the year of 2016. Interest expense on deposits increased $2.1loan growth.
•Noninterest income decreased $29.1 million, or 22.5%, to $11.5from $47.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 (with no merger-related amortization of the purchase accounting premium on certificates of deposit), compared2022 to $9.4 million (including $0.9 million in merger-related amortization) for the year ended December 31, 2016. We posted a net interest margin of 3.83% for the year 2017, up 3 basis points from the net interest margin of 3.80% for the same period in 2016. An increase in both the volume of and yield received on loans was the primary driver of the increased margin.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, noninterest income decreased to $22.4 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 4.5%, from $23.4 million during 2016. This decline was primarily due to the $1.1 million decrease in other gains for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The year of 2016 included a net gain on other real estate owned of $0.6 million, a net gain on the sale of the Rice Lake and Barron, Wisconsin, and Davenport, Iowa, branch offices of $1.2 million, and the writedown of other real estate owned of $0.6 million. Loan origination and servicing fees decreased $0.4 million, or 9.3%, between the comparative periods, and gains on the sale of available for sale securities decreased $0.3 million between the comparative 2016 and 2017 periods. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million, or 11.0%, in trust, investment, and insurance fees to $6.2 million for the year of 2017 compared with $5.6 million for the same period in 2016 due to the hiring of additional business development officers, growth in equity markets, and an increase in overall sales volume.
Noninterest expense decreased to $80.1$18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared2023. The largest driver of the decrease was net investment securities losses of $18.8 million, attributable to balance sheet repositioning, coupled with $87.8$6.3 million and $5.8 million unfavorable changes in other revenue and loan revenue, respectively.
•Noninterest expense decreased $0.9 million, from $132.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $7.7 million, or 8.7%. All categories of noninterest expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily due2022 to the absence of merger-related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $4.6$131.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 relating to the merger of Central Bank into MidWestOne Bank. Data processing expense declined $2.3 million, or 45.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to the year ended
December 31, 2016,2023 primarily due to the inclusion of $1.9 milliona decrease in contract termination expense in connection with the bank merger in 2016. Salariesmerger-related expenses and compensation and employee benefits decreased $1.8 million, or 3.5%, from $49.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, to $47.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease was primarily due to $1.9 million of merger-related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016. Other operating expenses decreased $1.5 million, or 14.3%, from $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, to $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily due to lower customer fraud losses and deposit account charge-offs.benefits.
Nonperforming loans decreased from $28.5 million, or 1.31% of total bank loans, at December 31, 2016, to $23.9 million, or 1.04% of total bank loans, at December 31, 2017. The decrease was due primarily to a lower level of nonaccrual loans. As of December 31, 2017, the allowance for loan losses was $28.1 million, or 1.23% of total loans, compared with $21.9 million, or 1.01% of total loans at December 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses represented 117.59% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2017, compared with 76.76% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2016. The Company had net loan charge-offs of $11.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2017, or an annualized 0.51% of average loans outstanding, and our level of non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 1.04%, compared to net charge-offs of $5.6 million, or an annualized 0.26% of average loans outstanding, and a non-performing loans to total loan ratio of 1.31% for the same period of 2016. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company identified an additional $7.3 million of credit impairment related to a loan made to one of its commercial borrowers based on new information received about the financial status of the borrower. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2017, this loan had been classified as substandard and had a specific allowance for loan losses related to it of $1.9 million.
The Company’s capital position increased in 2017 compared to 2016, with our tangible equity to tangible assets (both net of associated deferred tax liability on intangibles) ratio of 8.44%, which is inside of our target range of 8.00% to 8.50%, and higher than the December 31, 2016 ratio of 7.62%. Our regulatory capital levels remain well above the minimums established to be considered well-capitalized.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the following critical accounting policies and practices relative to the reporting of our results of operations and financial condition. These accounting policies relate to the allowance for loancredit losses, application of purchase accounting, goodwill and intangible assets, and fair value of available for sale investment securities.assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, and the annual impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets.
Allowance for LoanCredit Losses
Loans Held for Investment
TheUnder the CECL model, the allowance for loancredit losses is a valuation account estimated at each balance sheet date and deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans held for investment to present the net amount expected to be collected.
The Company estimates the ACL based on ourthe underlying assets’ amortized cost basis, which is the amount at which the financing receivable is originated or acquired, adjusted for collection of cash and charge-offs, as well as applicable accretion or amortization of premium, discount, and net deferred fees or costs. In the event that collection of principal becomes uncertain, the Company has policies in place to reverse accrued interest in a timely manner. Therefore, the Company has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of ACL. The Company’s estimate of probable incurredthe ACL reflects losses
expected over the contractual life of the assets, adjusted for estimated prepayments or curtailments. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications unless the Company has identified an expected MBEFD. A loan that has been modified or renewed is considered a MBEFD when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty.
Expected credit losses are reflected in our loan portfolio. In evaluating our loan portfolio, we take into consideration numerous factors,the allowance for credit losses through a charge to credit loss expense. When the Company deems all or a portion of a financial asset to be uncollectible, the appropriate amount is written off and the ACL is reduced by the same amount. The Company applies judgment to determine when a financial asset is deemed uncollectible; however, generally speaking, an asset will be considered uncollectible no later than when all efforts at collection have been exhausted. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL when received.
The Company measures expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when the financial assets share similar risk characteristics. Depending on the nature of the pool of financial assets with similar risk characteristics, the Company uses a DCF method or a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses.
The Company’s methodologies for estimating the ACL consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The methodologies apply historical loss information, adjusted for asset-specific characteristics, economic conditions prior loanat the measurement date, and forecasts about future economic conditions expected to exist through the contractual lives of the financial assets that are reasonable and supportable, to the identified pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics for which the historical loss experience was observed. Specifically, the economic forecast used by the Company is sensitive to changes in the following loss drivers: (1) Midwest unemployment, (2) year-to-year change in national retail sales, (3) year-to-year change in the CRE Index, (4) year-to-year change in U.S. GDP, (5) year-to-year change in the National Home Price Index (“HPI”), and (6) rental vacancy. General deterioration in these loss drivers, coupled with any changes to our modeling assumptions stemming from overall uncertainties in the current and future economic conditions, also impacts the Company’s estimation of the ACL. The Company’s economic forecast assumptions revert back to historical loss driver information on a straight-line basis over four quarters.
Discounted Cash Flow Method
The Company uses the DCF method to estimate expected credit losses for the agricultural, commercial and industrial, CRE - construction and development, CRE - farmland, CRE - multifamily, CRE - other, RRE - owner-occupied one-to-four family first liens, RRE - non-owner-occupied one-to-four family first liens, RRE - one-to-four family junior liens, and consumer loan pools. For each of these pools, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speed, curtailments, time to recovery, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds, curtailment rates, and time to recovery are based on historical internal data.
The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine which variables are best suited to be economic variables utilized when modeling lifetime probability of default and loss given default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the economic variables. For the loan pools utilizing the DCF method, management utilizes one or multiple of the following economic variables: Midwest unemployment, national retail sales, CRE index, US rental vacancy rate, US gross domestic product, and national home price index.
For all DCF models, management has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over four quarters on a straight-line basis. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four quarter forecast period. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts are also considered by management when developing the forecast metrics.
The combination of adjustments for credit expectations (default and loss) and timing expectations (prepayment, curtailment, and time to recovery) produces an expected cash flow stream at the instrument level. Instrument effective yield is calculated, net of the impacts of prepayment assumptions, and the instrument expected cash flows are then discounted at that effective yield to produce an instrument-level net present value of expected cash flows (“NPV”). An ACL is established for the difference between the instrument’s NPV and amortized cost basis. In addition, management utilizes qualitative factors to adjust the calculated ACL as appropriate. Qualitative factors are based on management's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.
Loss-Rate Method
The Company uses a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses for the loan portfolio,credit card and management’s estimateoverdraft pools. For each of probable credit losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision forthese pools, the Company applies an expected loss ratio based on our evaluationinternal and peer historical losses, adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors. Qualitative loss factors are based on management's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.
Collateral Dependent Financial Assets
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For collateral dependent financial assets where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the risk inherent incollateral is probable, or where the loan portfolio,borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the compositionCompany expects repayment of the portfolio, specific impaired loans,financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and current economic conditions. Such evaluation,the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which includes a reviewthe amortized cost basis of all loans onthe financial asset exceeds the present value of expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral. When repayment is expected to be from the sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters, the estimated net realizable value oramortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral economic conditions, historical loss experience, and other factors that warrant recognition in providingless estimated cost to sell.
Accounting for an appropriate allowance for loan losses. In the event that our evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses indicates that it is inadequate, we would need to increase our provision for loan losses. We believed the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2017, was adequate to absorb probable losses in the existing portfolio.Business Combinations
Application of Purchase Accounting
In May 2015,June 2022, we completed the acquisition of Central,IOFB, which generated significant amounts of fair value adjustments to assets and liabilities.liabilities, such as: valuation of the acquired PCD and non-PCD loan portfolio, core deposit intangible, fixed-term deposits, and real property. The fair value adjustments assigned to assets and liabilities, as well as their related useful lives, are subject to judgment and estimation by our management. Valuation of intangible assets is generally based on the estimated cash flows related to those assets, while the initial value assigned to goodwill is the residual of the purchase price over the fair value of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is greater than the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Useful lives are determined based on the expected future period of the benefit of the asset or liability, the assessment of which considers various characteristics of the asset or liability, including the historical cash flows. Due to the number of estimates involved, related to the allocation of purchase price and determining the appropriate useful lives, we have identified purchase accounting for business combinations as a critical accounting policy.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets arise from business combinations accountedcombinations. Goodwill represented $62.5 million of our $6.43 billion total assets at December 31, 2023. Under the Intangibles - Goodwill and Other topic of the FASB ASC, goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment. The Company’s annual assessment is done at the reporting unit level, which the Company has concluded is at the consolidated level. We review goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and also test for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such events and circumstances may include among others: a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the general business climate; significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization; unanticipated competition; the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within the reporting unit; and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill and could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. No goodwill impairment charge was recorded in 2023 and 2022 as a purchase. In May 2015, we completed our merger with Central. We were deemed to beresult of the purchaser for accounting purposes and thus recognized goodwill and otherCompany’s internal assessment.
Other intangible assets in connection with the merger.represented $24.1 million of our $6.43 billion total assets at December 31, 2023. The goodwill was assignedaccounting for a recognized intangible asset is based on its useful life to the Bank. AsCompany. An intangible asset with a general matter, goodwill and other
finite useful life is amortized over its estimated useful life to the Company; an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but rather is tested at least annually for impairment. The intangible assets generated from purchase business combinations and deemed to have indefinitewith finite lives are not subject to amortization and are instead tested for impairment at least annually. The other intangible assets reflected on our financial statements arerelate to core deposit premium, insurance agency,relationships, trade name, and customer list intangibles.lists. The establishmentinitial and subsequent amortization, when required by the accounting standards,measurements of these intangible assets involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include, among other things, the estimated cost to service deposits acquired, discount rates, estimated attrition rates and useful lives, future economic and market conditions, comparison of our market value to book value and determination of appropriate market comparables. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. We assess these intangible assets for impairment annually or more often if conditions indicate a possible impairment. Periodically we evaluate the estimated useful lives of intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. Recoverability ofWe also assess these intangible assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate.for impairment annually or more often if conditions indicate a possible impairment.

(1)A non-GAAP financial measure - see the "Non-GAAP Presentations" section for Sale Securities
Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes. Declines in fair value of individual securities, below their amortized cost, are evaluated by management to determine whether the decline is temporary or “other-than-temporary.’’ Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed “other-than-temporary” are reflected in earnings as impairment losses. In determining whether other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) exists, management considers whether: (1) we have the intent to sell the security, (2) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, and (3) we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. When we determine that OTTI has occurred, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether we intend to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI recognized in earnings is equalreconciliation to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date.

Our consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $18.7 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 8.3%, compared to $20.4 million for 2016, with diluted earnings per share of $1.55 and $1.78 for the comparative twelve month periods, respectively. The decrease in net income was due primarily to the provision for loans losses increasing $9.4 million in 2017 compared to 2016, due primarily to the previously disclosed credit impairment related to a loan made to one commercial borrower. This was partially offset by a $7.7 million, or 8.7%, decrease in noninterest expense driven by a $4.6 million decrease in merger-related expenses, mainly in data processing ($1.9 million) and salaries and employee benefits expense ($1.9 million), attributable to the merger of Central Bank into MidWestOne Bank in 2016. Net interest income increased $4.6 million, or 4.6%, primarily due to an increase of $7.0 million, or 6.2%, in interest income partially offset by an increase of $2.4 million, or 19.0%, in interest expense, to $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $12.7 million for the year of 2016. Noninterest income decreased $1.1 million, or 4.5% between 2016 and 2017, primarily due to the $1.1 million decrease in other gains for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The year of 2016 included a net gain on other real estate owned of $0.6 million, a net gain on the sale of the Rice Lake and Barron, Wisconsin, and Davenport, Iowa, branch offices of $1.2 million, and the writedown of other real estate owned of $0.6 million. Also, the Company realized a $3.5 million increase in income tax expense in 2017 compared to 2016, $3.2 million of which was related to the revaluation of the Company’s deferred tax assets in accordance with the Tax Act.
Our consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $20.4 million, or $1.78 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income of $25.1 million, or $2.42 per fully-diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in consolidated net income was due primarily to a $14.6 million, or 20.0%, increase in noninterest expense from 2015 to 2016,
which was mainly due to the inclusion of a full year of expenses related to the Central merger in 2016, versus eight months of post-merger operations in 2015. Salaries and employee benefits increased $7.7 million, or 18.5%, from the year ended December 31, 2015 to the year ended December 31, 2016. In addition, the provision for loan losses for the year 2016 increased $2.9 million to $8.0 million from $5.1 million for the same period in 2015, primarily due to the increased level of impaired loans and the greater level of loans moving from the purchased accounting portfolio to our standard methodology for the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) in 2016. Partially offsetting these expense increases was a $9.5 million, or 10.6%, increase in net interest income, again mainly related to the merger with Central. We also experienced a mainly merger-related increase in noninterest income to $23.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $21.2 million for 2015, which was primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in loan origination and servicing fees to $3.8 million, compared with $2.8 million in 2015. Merger-related expenses paid were $4.6 million ($2.9 million after tax), for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $3.5 million ($3.0 million after tax) for the year ended December 31, 2015. After excluding the effects of the merger-related expenses, adjusted diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $2.03, compared to $2.70 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
We ended 2017 with an allowance for loan losses of $28.1 million, which represented 117.59% coverage of our nonperforming loans at December 31, 2017 as compared to 76.76% at December 31, 2016 and 168.52% coverage of our nonperforming loans at December 31, 2015. Nonperforming loans totaled $23.9 million as of December 31, 2017 compared with $28.5 million and $11.5 million at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the provision for loan losses increased to $17.3 million from $8.0 million for 2016, which had increased from $5.1 million for 2015. The increased provision for 2017 compared to 2016 primarily reflects the identification of $7.3 million of credit impairment related to a loan made to one of the Company’s commercial borrowers based on new information received about the financial status of the borrower in the fourth quarter of 2017, and the increase in outstanding loan balances due to organic loan growth. The increased provision for 2016 compared to 2015 primarily reflects the increase in nonperforming loans and the increase in outstanding loan balances due to the merger and organic growth.
Various operating and equity ratios for the Company are presented in the table below for the years indicated. The dividend payout ratio represents the percentage of our prior year’s net income that is paid to shareholders in the form of cash dividends. Average equity to average assets is a measure of capital adequacy that presents the percentage of average total shareholders’ equity compared to our average assets. The equity to assets ratio is expressed using the period-end amounts instead of an average amount. As of December 31, 2017, under regulatory standards, the Bank had capital levels in excess of the minimums necessary to be considered “well capitalized,” which is the highest regulatory designation.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees earned on interest-earning assets, less interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate levels and volume fluctuations within interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impactTax equivalent net interest income. Net interest margin is tax-equivalentthe net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, as a percentpercentage of average interest-earning assets.
Certain assets with tax favorable treatment are evaluated on a tax-equivalent basis. Tax-equivalent basis assumes a federal income tax rate of 35%. Tax favorable assets generally have lower contractual pre-tax yields than fully taxable assets. A tax-equivalent analysis is performed by adding the tax savings to the earnings on tax favorable assets. After factoring in the tax favorable effects of these assets, the yields may be more appropriately evaluated against alternative interest-earning assets. In addition to yield, various other risks are factored into the evaluation process.

Changes in Net Interest Income
Net interest income is impacted by changes in volume, interest incomerate, and the mix of interest expense for major components of interest-earningearning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the difference related to changes in average outstanding balances and the increase or decrease due to the levels and volatility of interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities information is provided onThe following table shows changes attributable to (i)(1) changes in volume (i.e.and (2) changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e. changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changesrate. Changes attributable to both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Earning Assets, Sources of Funds, and Net Interest Margin
Average earning assets were $2.85 billion in 2017, an increase of $106.3 million, or 3.9%, from $2.75 billion in 2016. The growth in the average balance of earning assets in 2017When compared to 2016 was due primarily to an increase in average investment securities outstanding of $89.9 million, or 16.3%, primarily due to the rate of growth in average deposits exceeding the increase in average loans, which rose $40.0 million, or 1.9%, in 2017 compared to 2016. Average earning assets in 2016 increased by $205.8 million, or 8.1%, from 2015. The growth in the average balance of earning assets in 2016 compared to 2015 was due primarily to an increase in average loans outstanding of $198.5 million, or 10.1%, primarily due to a full year of post-merger balances in 2016 as opposed to only eight months of post-merger balances in 2015, partially offset by a decrease in average loan pool participations of $10.0 million, or 100.0%, due to the sale of the complete portfolio of loan pool participations during 2015. Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $2.27 billionended December 31, 2022, our tax equivalent net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2017,2023 decreased to $149.0 million from $171.3 million, due primarily to an increase of $112.5$75.0 million, or 5.2%247%, in interest expense, partially offset by an increase of $52.8 million, or 26%, in interest income. The change in interest expense reflected increases in interest paid on interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds of $65.5 million and $9.5 million, respectively, due to higher costs and volumes. The change in interest income reflected an increase of $54.4 million, or 36%, in loan interest income, which reflected higher loan volume from new loan production, coupled with an increase in loan yield. Partially offsetting the averageincrease in interest income from loans, was a decrease of $2.5 million, or 5%, in interest income earned from investment securities, which stemmed from lower volume of securities, primarily as a result of the balance sheet repositioning that occurred in the first and fourth quarters of 2023, offset by higher yield on these securities.
Tax equivalent net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2016. An increase in average deposits of $99.3 million during 2017 compared2023 declined to 2016, mainly due to an increased focus on deposit gathering, accounted for the majority of the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Average borrowed funds increased $13.1 million during 2017 compared to 2016, primarily due to a $13.2 million, or 17.7%2.46%, increase in the average balance of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements, and a $5.0 million, or 4.8%, increase in the average balance of FHLB borrowings for 2017 compared to 2016. These increases in average borrowed funds were partially offset by a $5.1 million, or 11.2%, decrease in the average balance of long-term debt and junior subordinated notes, primarily due to normal amortization of long-term debt. Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $2.16 billionfrom 2.92% for the year ended December 31, 2016,2022, driven by higher funding costs and volumes, partially offset by higher interest earning asset yields. The cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 148 basis points to 2.14%, due to interest bearing deposit costs of 1.90%, short-term borrowing costs of 3.78%, and long-term debt costs of 6.53%, which increased 142 basis points, 240 basis points and 177 basis points, respectively, from the prior year end. Total interest earning assets yield increased 76 basis points primarily as a result of an increase of $173.985 basis points and 19 basis points in loan and securities yields, respectively.
Credit Loss Expense
Credit loss expense of $5.8 million was recorded in 2023, as compared to a credit loss expense of $4.5 million in 2022, an increase of $1.4 million, or 8.8%30.2%, from the average balance forand was primarily attributable to loan growth and individually evaluated loans. Net loan charge-offs were $3.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2015. An increase in average deposits of $145.3 million during 2016 compared to 2015, mainly due to the merger, accounted for the majority of the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Average borrowed funds increased $28.6 million during 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to new FHLB borrowings.
Interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $7.3 million, or 6.2%, to $124.3 million in 2017 from $117.0 million in 2016. Tax equivalent interest income in 2016 increased $12.2 million, or 11.6%, to $117.0 million in 2016 from $104.9 million in 2015. The higher interest income in 2017 compared to 2016, was due primarily to the increase in the volume of loans due to new originations, the increased interest rate on loans and the inclusion in loan interest income of $4.8 million of merger-related loan discount accretion in 2017, compared to loan discount accretion of $3.2 million in 2016, which increased interest income, and by an increase in the volume of investment securities. In 2016, interest income increased compared to 2015 due primarily to the merger-related increase in the volume of loans, the increased interest rate on loans and despite lower merger-related loan discount accretion in 2016 of $3.2 million, compared to $4.4 million in 2015, and by an increase in the volume of investment securities. Our yield on average earning assets was 4.36% in 2017 compared to 4.26% in 2016 and 4.13% in 2015. The increase in interest income in 2017 compared to 2016, as well as 2016 compared to 2015, was due primarily to an increased volume of interest earning assets.
Interest expense increased during 2017 by $2.4 million, or 19.0%, to $15.1 million from $12.7 million in 2016. Interest expense in 2016 increased by $2.1 million, or 19.5%, from 2015. The increase in interest expense during 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily due to no merger-related premium amortization on certificate of deposits in 2017 compared to $0.9 million in 2016, which served to decrease deposit interest expense in 2016, combined with a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The increase in interest expense during 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to the full year of additional cost of merger-related assumptions of deposits and debt in 2016, partially offset by the lower expense on federal funds and repurchase agreements, and the decrease in merger-related premium amortization on certificate of deposits to $0.9 million in 2016 compared to $1.1 million in 2015. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.67% in 2017 compared to 0.59% in 2016 and 0.54% in 2015.
Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased 4.7% in 2017 to $109.2 million from $104.3 million in 2016. Tax-equivalent net interest income in 2016 increased by $10.1 million, or 10.7%, from 2015. The net interest margin, which is our net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets stated on a tax-equivalent basis, was higher at 3.83% during 2017 compared to 3.80% in 2016 and 3.71% in 2015. The net interest spread, also on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.69% in 2017 compared to 3.67% in 2016 and 3.59% in 2015.
Net interest income increased in 20172023 as compared to 2016 due primarily tonet loan charge-offs of $6.6 million in the increase in interest earned on interest-earning assets, due to increased average balances and rates on interest-earning assets, partially offsetyear ended December 31, 2022. The economic forecasts utilized by the increaseCompany for its loan credit loss estimation process are: (1) Midwest unemployment, (2) year-to-year change in interest paidnational retail sales, (3) year-to-year change in the CRE Index, (4) year-to-year change in U.S. GDP, (5) year-to-year change in the National HPI, and (6) rental vacancy. In addition, management utilized qualitative factors to adjust the calculated ACL as appropriate. Qualitative factors are based on interest-bearing liabilities. The increased interest incomemanagement’s judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in 2017 included $4.8 millionunderlying loan composition of merger-related discount accretion income forspecific portfolios, trends
relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and did not include any merger-related amortizationreasonable and supportable forecasts of the purchase accounting premium on certificates of deposit. The increased net interest income for 2016 as compared to 2015 was due primarily to the increase in interest earned on interest-earning assets, due to increased average balances and rates on interest-earning assets, partially offset by the increase in interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The increased interest income in 2016 included $3.2 million of merger-related discount accretion income for loans, combined with the inclusion of $0.9 million of merger-related amortization of the purchase accounting premium on certificates of deposit. The average balance sheets reflect a competitive marketplace on both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing deposits. The competition for loans in the marketplace and the overall rising interest rate environment has allowed new loan rates to increase somewhat, while interest rates paid on deposit products have increased at a somewhat faster pace, a condition which we expect to continue in the future.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is a current charge against income and represents an amount which management believes is sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for known and probable loan losses. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers the size, composition, and quality of the loan portfolio measured against prevailing economic conditions, regulatory guidelines, historical loan loss experience and credit quality of the portfolio. When a determination is made by management to write-off a loan balance, such write-off is charged against the allowance for loan losses. conditions.
Our provision for loan losses was $17.3 million during 2017 compared to $8.0 million in 2016 and $5.1 million in 2015. The increased provision reflects the increase in outstanding loan balances and the previously disclosed $7.3 million credit impairment related to a loan made to a commercial borrower. We expect the provision for loan losses to return to a lower amount in future periods. Purchased loans acquired in the 2015 merger were recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. The level of provision expense during 2015, 2016, and 2017 was reflective of management’s assessment of the then-current risk in the loan portfolio as compared to the allowance for loan losses. See further discussion of the nonperforming loans, under the section Nonperforming Assets.

This decline was2022, primarily due to the $1.1 million decrease in other gains for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The yearinvestment securities losses, net of 2016 included a net gain on other real estate owned of $0.6 million, a net gain on the sale of the Rice Lake and Barron, Wisconsin, and Davenport, Iowa, branch offices of $1.4 million, and the writedown of other real estate owned of $0.6 million. Loan origination and servicing fees decreased $0.4 million, or 9.3%, between the comparative periods, and gains on the sale of available for sale securities decreased $0.3 million between the comparative 2016 and 2017 periods. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million, or 11.0%, in trust, investment, and insurance fees to $6.2 million for the year of 2017 compared with $5.6 million for the same period in 2016 due to the hiring of additional business development officers, growth in equity markets, and an increase in overall sales volume.
Management has set a strategic goal for the percentage of total revenue that noninterest income represents (total revenue is net interest income plus noninterest income before gains or losses on sales of securities available for sale, held to maturity, premises and equipment, other gains or losses, and impairment of investment securities) to be 25%. In 2017, noninterest income comprised 17.5% of total revenue, compared with 18.0% for 2016 and 17.9% for 2015. The decline between 2017 and 2016 was due to a decrease in fee income related to the origination of loans held for sale due to a general decrease in originations in our market area, and the reorganization of the mortgage lending department. We expect that continued management focus on increasing the rate of growth in both our trust and investment services revenues and mortgage origination and loan servicing fees will gradually improve this ratio going forward.
Total noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $23.4 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 10.6%, from $21.2 million during the same period of 2015, primarily due to the merger. The greatest increase for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015, was in loan origination and servicing fees which increased $1.0 million, or 36.8%, in the year 2016, from $2.8 million for the same period in 2015, due to increased gains on the sale of SBA loans. Another significant contributor to the overall increase in noninterest income was service charges and fees on deposit accounts, which increased $0.8 million to $5.2 million for the year 2016, compared with $4.4 million for the same period of 2015. Other service charges and fees rose from $5.2$18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $0.7 million, or 14.1%. Other gain increased $0.6 million to2023, coupled with a gain of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to a gain of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The year 2016 reflected a net gain on other real estate owned of $0.6 million, a net gain on the sale of the Rice Lake and Barron, Wisconsin, and Davenport, Iowa, branch offices of $1.4$6.3 million and $5.8 million unfavorable change in other revenue and loan revenue, respectively. Investment securities losses stemmed from balance sheet repositioning that occurred in the writedownfirst and fourth quarters of other real estate owned of $0.6 million. The year 2015 included a net loss on other real estate owned of $0.22023, in which approximately $347.0 million and a net gain of $0.7 million on the sale of the Ottumwa, Iowa branch office. These increases were partially offset by decreased gains on the sale of available for sale and equity securities were sold and utilized to purchase higher yielding debt securities and reduce short-term borrowings. Loan revenue primarily reflected a decrease in the fair value of $0.5our MSR of $0.1 million between the years 2015in 2023, as compared to a $5.7 million increase in 2022, and 2016. In addition, trust,
investment, and insurance fees also decreased to $5.6 million for the year 2016, a decline of $0.4$0.7 million or 7.2%,in mortgage origination revenue. The decrease in other revenue primarily stemmed from $6.0a settlement in 2022 and the bargain purchase gain of $3.8 million forrecognized in connection with the same periodIOFB acquisition in 2015.2022, neither of which recurred in 2023. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase of $1.0 million in investment services and trust activities revenue driven by higher assets under management.

Noninterest expense decreased to $80.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared with $87.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $7.7 million, or 8.7%, with all expense line items showing a decrease between 2016 and 2017. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of merger-related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 relating to the merger of Central Bank into MidWestOne Bank. Data processing expense declined $2.3 million, or 45.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to the inclusion in 2016 of $1.9 million in contract termination expense in connection with the bank merger. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $1.8 million, or 3.5%, from $49.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, to $47.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease was primarily due to $1.9 million of merger-related salaries and employee benefits expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016. Other operating expenses decreased $1.5 million, or 14.3%, from $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, to $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily due to lower customer fraud losses and deposit account charge-offs. We expect to see a slight increase in noninterest expense, primarily salary and employee benefits expense, in future periods, as we believe most merger-related cost savings have now been achieved.
In 2015 noninterest expense increased to $87.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared with $73.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $14.6 million, or 20.0%. All categories of noninterest expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015, with the exception of professional fees, which decreased $0.7 million, or 14.5%, due to lower merger-related expenses for professional fees of $0.3 million for the year of 2016 compared with $1.9 million for the same period in 2015. Salaries and employee benefits increased $7.7 million, or 18.5%, from $41.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, to $49.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase includes $2.1 million of merger-related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2015. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is primarily due to the increased number of employees after the merger with Central and merger-related stay bonuses and severance costs. Net occupancy and equipment expense rose from $10.0 million for the year of 2015 to $13.1 million for the same period of 2016, an increase of $3.1 million, or 31.0%. The increase in data processing expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015, of $2.32023 decreased $0.9 million, or 85.8%0.7%, from $132.8 million during the same period of 2022. The decline was attributable primarily driven by a $1.8 million decline in merger-related expenses, as well as a decline in compensation and employee benefits. The largest offset to one-time contract termination expensesthe decrease in noninterest expense was an increase in FDIC insurance expense, which was primarily driven by the increase in the assessment rate that was effective in the first quarterly assessment of $1.9 million in connection with the merger of the Bank and Central Bank.2023.
Full-time equivalent employee levels were 610, 587732, 784, and 648731 at December 31, 2017, 20162023, 2022 and 2015,2021, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate, or income taxes divided by income before taxes, was 35.7%16.0% for 20172023 compared with 25.2%20.6% for 2016. Income tax expense increased by $3.5 million to $10.4 million in 2017 compared to tax expense of $6.9 million for 2016 The higher effective tax rate in 2017 as well as the increase in tax expense in 2017 was due primarily to the $3.2 million impact of the the Tax Act enacted by the U.S. government on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act introduced tax reform that reduces the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, among other changes. While the corporate tax rate reduction is effective January 1, 2018, the Company determined that GAAP requires a revaluation of its net deferred tax asset. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements,
2022, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply toreflected lower taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferredand a larger benefit from tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense as changes in tax laws are enacted. The Company’s revaluation of its deferred tax asset is subject to further clarifications of the Tax Act that cannot be estimated at this time, and the Company will continue to analyze the Tax Act to determine the full effects of the new law, including the new lower corporate tax rate, on its financial condition and results of operations.
Income taxes decreased by $1.0 million for 2016 compared with 2015 due primarily to decreased taxable income, net of the decreased tax credits.exempt investment income. The effective income tax rate asfor 2024 is expected to be 20-22%.
Financial Condition
Following is a percentagetable that represents the major categories of income before tax was 25.2% for 2016, compared with 23.7% for 2015. The higher effective rate in 2016 was primarily due to a reduction of $1.9 million in the recognition of rehabilitation and historic tax credits from $2.3 million in 2015 to $0.4 million in 2016.

Our loan-to-deposit ratio rose slightly to 87.8% at year-end 2017 compared to 87.3% at year-end 2016, with our target range being between 80% and 90%
Total liabilities increased by $97.8 million from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017.

The mix of deposits saw increases between December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017 of $91.8 million, or 8.1%, in interest-bearing checking deposits, $15.7 million, or 8.0%, in savings deposits, and $49.9 million, or 7.7%, in certificates of deposit. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in non-interest bearing demand deposits of $32.6 million, or 6.6%, between December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017. Brokered CDs obtained through participation in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program increased by $2.7 million in 2017 to $5.3 million, while brokered business money market accounts obtained through participation in the Insured Cash Sweeps (“ICS”) program increased by $56.8 million to $95.8 million.

FHLB borrowings were $115.0 million at December 31, 2017, the same as at December 31, 2016. Junior subordinated notes issued to capital trusts increased from $23.7 million at December 31, 2016 to $23.8 million at December 31, 2017 as a result of merger-related discount accretion. The Company initiated new long-term borrowings from an unaffiliated bank of $25.0 million during the second quarter of 2015 in connection with the closing of the merger with Central. At December 31, 2017, this note had an outstanding balance of $12.5 million, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 28.6%, from December 31, 2016, due to normal scheduled repayments. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase rose $14.0 million between December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017, and federal funds purchased declined by $34.7 million between the two dates, both as a result of normal business cash need fluctuations.
Shareholders’ equity increased by $34.8 million primarily due to the issuance of 750,000 shares of Company common stock for $24.4 million, net of expenses, net income of $18.7 million for the year of 2017, and a $0.6 million decrease in treasury stock due to the issuance of 33,251 shares of Company common stock in connection with stock compensation plans. These increases were partially offset by the payment of $8.1 million in common stock dividends, and a $1.5 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, with $1.0 million due to market value adjustments on investmentdebt securities available for sale and $0.5 million dueheld to a reclassification adjustmentmaturity was as follows:

Investment Securities
Our investment securities portfolio is managed to provide both a source of both liquidity and earnings. TheThe size of the portfolio varies along with fluctuations in levels of deposits and loans. Our investment securities portfolio totaled $643.3 million at December 31, 2017 compared to $645.9 million at December 31, 2016.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of our securities available for sale was $447.7 million and the amortized cost was $451.2 million. There were $2.8 million of gross unrealized gains and $6.4 million of gross unrealized losses in our investment securities available for sale portfolio for a net unrealized loss of $3.6 million. The after-tax effect of this unrealized loss has been included in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders’ equity. The ratio of the fair value as a percentage of amortized cost decreased compared to December 31, 2016, due to an increase in interest rates, particularly in the market for tax-exempt municipal securities, during 2017.
U.S. treasury and U.S. government agency securities as a percentage of total securities increased to 4.0% at December 31, 2017, from 0.9% at December 31, 2016, and corporate debt securities increased to 16.5% at December 31, 2017, as compared to 16.2% at December 31, 2016. Investments in mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations decreased to 37.4% of total securities at December 31, 2017, as compared to 40.4% of total securities at December 31, 2016, and obligations of state and political subdivisions (primarily tax-exempt obligations) as a percentage of total securities also decreased to 41.7% at December 31, 2017, from 42.3% at December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations portfolios consisted of securities predominantly backed by one- to four- family mortgage loans and underwritten to the standards of and guaranteed by the following government-sponsored agencies: Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Government National Mortgage Association. The receipt of principal, at par, and interest on these securities is guaranteed by the respective government-sponsored agency guarantor, such that the Company believes that its mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations do not expose the Company to significant credit-related losses.
We consider many factors in determining the composition of our investment portfolio including tax-equivalent yield, credit quality, duration, expected cash flows and prepayment risk, as well as the liquidity position and the interest rate risk profile of the Company.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations portfolios consisted of securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”) such as the Federal National Mortgage Corporation, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Government National Mortgage Corporation and private entities.GSE issues are predominantly backed by one- to four-family mortgage loans and underwritten to the standards of and guaranteed by the issuer. The compositionreceipt of principal, at par, and interest on these securities is guaranteed by the respective GSE, and as such the Company believes exposure for credit-related losses from its mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations is reduced. Further, the Company owns several privately issued collateralized mortgage obligations. These securities are structured with high levels of credit enhancement and carry the highest ratings from the one or more of the major statistical credit rating agencies. The Company’s holdings of corporate bonds are primarily comprised of securities that are rated in one of the three highest rating categories by at least one of the major statistical credit rating agencies.In evaluating corporate bonds, the company considers each issuers’ financial performance, liquidity, capital position and other company fundamentals. Similarly, the majority of the Company’s municipal holdings carry ratings in the top three ratings categories of one of the major statistical credit rating agencies.Relating to the Company’s holdings of non-rated municipal bonds, these issuers are predominantly located in the Company’s market area in the upper Midwest.In general, the small issue size of these bond offerings makes the cost obtaining a credit rating prohibitively expensive, which explains the lack of a credit rating.
On January 1, 2022, the Company re-classified, at fair value, from available for sale to held to maturity, $1.25 billion of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and securities issued by state and political subdivisions. The net unrealized after tax loss of $11.5 million associated with those re-classified securities remained in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be amortized over the remaining life of the securities. No gains or losses were recognized in earnings at the time of the transfer.
As of December 31, 2023, there were $0.2 million of gross unrealized gains and $78.2 million of gross unrealized losses in our debt securities available for sale portfolio for a net unrealized loss of $78.0 million. As of December 31, 2023 there were no gross unrealized gains and there was as follows:

Totalnonperforming loans and nonperforming assets were $25.9 million at December 31, 2017, comparedratios both increased 23 basis points from the prior year-end, to $30.6 million at December 31, 2016, a $4.7 million, or 15.3%0.64% and 0.47%, decrease. Nonperforming loans decreased $4.6 million during 2017, and nonperforming other assets (other real estate owned) decreased $0.1 million during 2017. The decrease in other real estate owned (“OREO”) from $2.1 million at December 31, 2016 to $2.0 million at December 31, 2017, was primarily attributable to the net decrease of 13 properties in other real estate owned during the year ended December 31, 2017. All of the OREO property was acquired through foreclosures, and we are actively working to sell all properties held as of December 31, 2017. OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs of disposal. Additional discounts could be required to market and sell the properties, resulting in a write down through expense.
Nonperforming loans decreased from $28.5 million, or 1.31% of total loans, at December 31, 2016, to $23.9 million, or 1.04% of total loans, at December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017, nonperforming loans consisted of $14.8 million in nonaccrual
loans, $8.9 million in troubled debt restructures (“TDRs”) and $0.2 million in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. This compares to nonaccrual loans of $20.7 million, TDRs of $7.3 million, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest of $0.5 million at December 31, 2016. Nonaccrual loans decreased $5.9 million between December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2017. This was primarily driven by net charge-offs of $11.1 million in 2017 coupled with one loan being added in the fourth quarter of 2017 for $5.0 million, which was the same borrower that resulted in the large credit impairment also in the fourth quarter of 2017. The balance of TDRs increased $1.6 million between these two dates, as a result of the addition of seven loans (representing four lending relationships) totaling $5.3 million, which was partially offset by payments collected from TDR-status borrowers totaling $2.8 million, and three loans totaling $0.9 million moving to non-disclosed status. Loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest decreased $0.3 million between December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2017. Loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing interest (not included in the nonperforming loan totals) increased to $8.4 million at December 31, 2017, compared with $7.8 million at December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2017, the allowance for loan losses was $28.1 million, or 1.23% of total loans, compared with $21.9 million, or 1.01% of total loans at December 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses represented 117.59% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2017, compared with 76.76% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2016.

Not included in the loans above were purchased credit impaired loans with an outstanding balance of $0.7 million, net of a discount of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2017, and an outstanding balance of $2.6 million, net of a discount of $0.5 million as of December 31, 2016.
The largest category of nonperforming loans was commercial real estate loans, with a balance of $9.9 million at December 31, 2017. The remaining nonperforming loans consisted of $8.6 million in commercial and industrial, $2.8 million in agricultural, and $2.5 million in residential real estate.
A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due. The accrual of interest income on impaired loans is discontinued when there is reasonable doubt as to the borrower’s ability to meet contractual payments of interest or principal. Interest income on these loans is recognized to the extent interest payments are received and the principal is considered fully collectible.
The gross interest income that would have been recorded in the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 if the nonaccrual and TDRs had been current in accordance with their original terms was $2.5 million, $1.9 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. The amount of interest collected on those loans that was included in interest income was $1.4 million, $0.6 million, and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
In addition to the non-performing and past due loans mentioned above, the Company also has identified loans for which management has concerns about the ability of the borrowers to meet existing repayment terms. The loans are generally secured by either real estate or other borrower assets, reducing the potential for loss should they become non-performing. Although these loans are generally identified as potential problem loans, it is possible that they never become non-performing.
Loan Review and Classification Process for Agricultural, Loans, Commercial and Industrial, Loans, and Commercial Real Estate Loans:
The Bank maintains a loan review and classification process which involves multiple officers of the Bank and is designed to assess the general quality of credit underwriting and to promote early identification of potential problem loans. All commercial
and agricultural loan officers are charged with the responsibility of risk rating all loans in their portfolios and updating the ratings, positively or negatively, on an ongoing basis as conditions warrant. Risk ratings are selected from an 8-point scale with ratings as follows: ratings 1- 4 Satisfactory (pass), rating 5 Special Mention/Watch (potential weakness), rating 6 Substandard (well-defined weakness), rating 7 Doubtful, and rating 8 Loss.
When a loan officer originates a new loan, based upon proper loan authorization, he or she documentsthey document the credit file with an offering sheet summary, supplemental underwriting analysis, relevant financial information and collateral evaluations. All of thisThis information is used in the determination of the initial loan risk rating. Segregation of owner-occupied and non-owner occupied residential real estate loans is made at the time of origination. The Bank’s loan review department undertakes independent credit reviews of relationships based on either criteria established by loan policy, risk-focused sampling, or random sampling. Loan policy requiresCredit relationships with larger exposure may pose incrementally higher risks. As a result, the Bank's loan review department is required to review all lendingcredit relationships with total exposure of $5.0 million or more as well as all classified (loan grades 6 through 8) and watch (loan grade 5) rated credits over $1.0 million be reviewed no less thanat least annually. TheIn addition, the individual loan reviews consider such items as: loan type; nature, type and estimated value of collateral; borrower and/or guarantor estimated financial strength; most recently available financial information; related loans and total borrower exposure; and current and anticipated performance of the loan. The results of such reviews are presented to both executive management.management and the audit committee of the Company's board of directors.
Through the review of delinquency reports, updated financial statements or other relevant information, the lending officer and/or loan review personnel may determine that a loan relationship has weakened to the point that a watch (loan gradeSpecial Mention/Watch (risk rating 5) or classified (loan gradesClassified (risk ratings 6 through 8) status is warranted. When aAt least quarterly, the loan relationshipstrategy committee will meet to discuss loan relationships with total related exposure of $1.0 million or greater is adversely graded (loan grade 5above that are Special Mention/Watch rated credits, loan relationships with total exposure of $500 thousand and above that are Substandard or above), or is classifiedworse rated credits, as a TDR (regardlesswell as loan relationships with total exposure of size), the$250 thousand and above that are on non-accrual. Loan relationships outside these designated thresholds are reviewed upon request. The lending officer is then charged with preparing a loan strategy summary worksheet that outlines the background of the credit problem, current repayment status of the loans, current collateral evaluation and a workout plan of action. This plan may include goals to improve the credit rating, assist the borrower in moving the loans to another institution and/or collateral liquidation. All such reports are first presented to regional management and then to the loan strategy committee. CopiesThe minutes of the minutes of theseloan strategy committee meetings are presentedprovided to the board of directors of the Bank.
Depending upon the individual facts and circumstances and the result of the classified/watch review process, loan officers and/or loan review personnel may categorize thea loan relationship as impaired.requiring an individual analysis. Once that determination has occurred, the credit analyst will complete an individually analyzed worksheet that contains an evaluation of the collateral (for collateral-dependent loans) based upon the estimated collateral value, adjusting for current market conditions and other local factors that may affect collateral value. Loan review personnel may also complete an independent impairmentindividual analysis when deemed necessary. These judgmental evaluations may produce an initial specific allowance for placementrecognition in the Company’s allowance for loan and leasecredit losses calculation. ImpairmentAn analysis for the underlying collateral value of each individually analyzed loan relationship is completed in the last month of the quarter. The impairment analysisindividually analyzed worksheets are reviewed by the Credit Administration department prior to quarter-end.

In general, once the specific allowance has been finalized, regional and executive management will consider a charge-off prior to the calendar quarter-end in which that reserve calculation is finalized.
The review process also provides for the upgrade of loans that show improvement since the last review. All requests for an upgrade of a credit are approved by the loan strategy committeeproper authority based upon the aggregate credit exposure before the rating can be changed.

We considerrepay a loan, and to minimize potential losses to the customer’s past performance, previous and current credit history, the individual circumstances surrounding the current difficulties and their plan to meet the termsCompany. GAAP requires that certain types of the loan in the future prior to restructuring the terms of the loan. The following factors are indicators that a concession has been granted (one or multiple items maymodifications be present):reported, including:
The borrower receives a reduction of the stated interest•Principal forgiveness.
•Interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt.reduction.
The borrower receives an extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market interest rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics.•An other than-insignificant payment delay.
The borrower receives a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement.•Term extension.
The borrower receives a deferral of required payments (principal and/or interest).
The borrower receives a reduction of the accrued interest.
Generally, loans are restructured through short-term interest rate relief, short-term principal payment relief or short-term principal and interest payment relief. Once a restructured loan has gone 90 days or more past due or is placed on nonaccrual status, it is included in the 90 days or more past due or nonaccrual totals.

A loan classified as a troubled debt restructuring will no longer be included in the troubled debt restructuring disclosures in the periods after the restructuring if the loan performs in accordance with the terms specified by the restructuring agreement and the interest rate specified in the restructuring agreement represents a market rate at the timedistress was $12.8 million, which represented 0.31% of modification. The specified interest rate is considered a market rate when the interest rate is equal to or greater than the rate the Company is willing to accept at the timetotal loans held for investment, net of restructuringunearned income for a new loan with comparable risk. If there are concerns that the borrower will not be able to meet the modified terms of the loan, the loan will continue to be included in the troubled debt restructuring disclosures.
We consider all TDRs, regardless of whether they are performing in accordance with their modified terms, to be impaired loans when determining our allowance for loan losses. A summary of restructured loans as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is as follows:each respective period.

This compares with an ALLLACL of $21.9$49.2 million as of December 31, 2016,2022, which was 1.01%1.28% of total loans held for investment, net of unearned income. The increase in the ACL primarily reflected an additional reserve taken to support loan growth and 1.27% of non-acquired loansrelated to individually evaluated loans. The liability for off-balance sheet credit exposures totaled $4.6 million as of that date.December 31, 2023 and $4.8 million as of December 31, 2022, and is included in 'Other liabilities' on the balance sheet.
The Company recorded a credit loss expense related to loans of $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to a credit loss expense of $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Gross charge-offs for the year of 2017 totaled $12.0ended December 31, 2023 were $4.6 million, which includes the charge-off of $7.3while there were $0.8 million related to one commercial borrower, whilein recoveries of previously charged-off loans totaled $0.9 million.loans. The ratio of annualized net loan charge offs to average loans for the year of 2017ended December 31, 2023 was 0.51%0.09% compared to 0.26%a net charge-off ratio of 0.19% for the year ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2017, the ALLL was 117.59% of nonperforming loans compared with 76.76% as of December 31, 2016. Based on the inherent risk in the loan portfolio, we believed that as of December 31, 2017, the ALLL was adequate; however, there is no assurance losses will not exceed the allowance, and any growth in the loan portfolio or uncertainty in the general economy may require that management continue to evaluate the adequacy of the ALLL and make additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary.2022.
Non-acquired loans with a balance of $1.96 billion at December 31, 2017, had $27.2 million of the allowance for loan losses allocated to them, providing an allocated allowance for loan loss to non-acquired loan ratio of 1.39%, compared to balances of $1.68 billion and an allocated allowance for loan loss to non-acquired loan ratio of 1.27% at December 31, 2016.

The Bank uses a rolling 20-quarter annual average historical net charge-off component for its ALLL calculation. One qualitative factor table is used for the entire bank. Differences in regional (Iowa, Minnesota/Wisconsin, Florida and Colorado) economic and business conditions are included in the qualitative factor narrative and the risk is spread over the entire loan portfolios. All pass rated loans, regardless of size, are allocated based on delinquency status. The Bank has streamlined the ALLL process for a number of low-balance loan types that do not have a material impact on the overall calculation, which are applied a reserve amount equal to the overall reserve calculated pursuant to applicable accounting standards to total loan calculated pursuant to applicable accounting standards. The guaranteed portion of any government guaranteed loan is included in the calculation and is reserved for according to the type of loan. Special mention/watch and substandard rated credits not individually reviewed for impairment are allocated at a higher amount due to the inherent risks associated with these types of loans.

risk rated loans (i.e. early stages of financial deterioration, technical exceptions, etc.) are reserved at a level that will cover losses above a pass allocation for loans that had a loss in the trailing 20-quarters in which the loan was risk-rated special mention/watch at the time of the loss. Substandard loans carry a greater risk than special mention/watch loans, and as such, this subset is reserved at a level that covers losses above a pass allocation for loans that had a loss in the trailing 20-quarters in which the loans was risk-rated substandard at the time of the loss. Classified and impaired loans are reviewed per the requirements of applicable accounting standards.

Qualitative factors are based on management’s judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit enhancement that had a LTV ratio of 100% or greater. We have the first lien on 3 of these equityquality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and other financial institutions have the first lien on the remaining 155. There were also 164 commercial real estate loans without credit enhancement that exceed the supervisory LTV guidelines.reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.

Premises and Equipment
As of December 31, 2017, premises and equipment totaled $76.0 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 1.2%, from $75.0 million at December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily due to normal building improvements, somewhat offset by depreciation. We expect the balance of premises and equipment to remain stable in future periods.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill was unchanged at $64.7 million as of December 31, 20162023, the ACL was adequate; however, there is no assurance that loan credit losses will not exceed the ACL. In addition, growth in the loan portfolio or general economic deterioration may require the recognition of additional credit loss expense in future periods. See Note 4. Loans Receivable and 2017.

Shareholders’ Equity: Total shareholders’ equity was $524.4 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to $492.8 million as of December 31, 2022, an increase of $31.6 million, or 6.41%, driven by a decrease in AOCI and an increase in retained earnings.
Capital Adequacy:The Federal Reserve uses capital adequacy guidelines in its examination and regulation of bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks. Risk-based capital ratios are established by allocating assets and certain off-balance-sheet commitments into four risk-weighted categories. These balances are then multiplied by the factor appropriate for that risk-weighted category. Pursuant to the Basel III Rule,Rules, the Company and the Bank, respectively, are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements promulgated by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Failure by the Company or the Bank to meet minimum capital requirements could result in certain mandatory and discretionary actions by our regulators that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. Under the capital requirements and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and a leverage ratio consisting of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to average assets (as defined in the regulations). As of December 31, 2017, both2023, the BankCompany and the CompanyBank exceeded federal regulatory minimum capital requirements to be classified as well-capitalized under(including the prompt corrective action requirements.capital conservation buffer). See Note 17. “RegulatoryRegulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions on Subsidiary Cash”Cash to our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to our regulatory capital ratios.
In order to be a “well-capitalized” depository institution, a bankthe Company and the Bank must maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5% or more; a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8% or more; a Totaltotal capital ratio of 10% or more; and a leverage ratio of 5% or more. A capital conservation buffer, comprised of 2.5% of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, is also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements. This capital conservation buffer is being phased in, which began January 1, 2016, at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increases each subsequent year by an additional 0.625% until reaching the final level of 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer during 2017 was 1.25%.

Liquidity
Liquidity Management
Liquidity management involves the ability to meetmeeting the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers. We conduct liquidity management on both a daily and long-term basis. Webasis, and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment ofon expected loan demand, projected loan sales,maturities and payments, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is invested generally in short-term U.S. government and agency securities, short- and medium-term state and political subdivision securities, and other investment securities.
Our most liquid assets are cash and due from banks, interest-bearing bank deposits, and federal funds sold. The balances of these assets are dependent on our operating, investing, lending, and financing activities during any given period.

Generally, our principal sources of funds are deposits, advances from the FHLB, principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities, our federal funds lines, of credit, and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan amortization and maturing interest-bearing deposits are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by economic conditions, the general level of interest rates, and competition. We utilized particular sources of funds based on comparative costs and availability. This included fixed-rate advances from the FHLB that were obtained at a more favorable cost than deposits of comparable maturity. We generally managed the pricing of our deposits to maintain a steady deposit base but from time to time decided not to pay rates on deposits as high as our competition. Our banking subsidiary alsoThe Bank maintains unsecured lines of credit with several correspondent banks and secured lines with the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Windowof Chicago and the FHLB that would allow us to borrow funds on a short-term basis, if necessary.

As of December 31, 2017,2023, we had outstanding commitments to extend credit to borrowers of $563.3 million,$1.20 billion, standby letters of credit of $10.3$7.8 million, and commitments to sell loans of $0.9$1.0 million. Certificates of deposit maturing in one year or less totaled $391.4 million$1.24 billion as of December 31, 2017.2023. We believe that a significant portion of these deposits will remain with us upon maturity.
Inflation

While management believes that inflation affects the growth of total assets, it is difficult to assess its overall impact on the overall impact.Company. The price of one or more of the components of the Consumer Price Index may fluctuate considerably and thereby influence the overall Consumer Price Index without having a corresponding effect on interest rates or upon the cost of those goods and services normally purchased by us. In yearsInflation and related increases in market rates by the Federal Reserve generally decrease the market value of highinvestments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings and shareholders' equity. Ongoing higher inflation levels and higher interest rates could have a negative impact on both our consumer and commercial borrowers. We anticipate our noninterest income may be adversely affected in future periods as a result of increasing interest rates and inflationary pressure, which has begun to and will continue to adversely affect mortgage originations and mortgage banking revenue. Additionally, the economic impact of the recent rise in inflation and highrising interest rates intermediatecould place increased demand on our liquidity if we experience significant credit deterioration and long-termas we meet borrowers' needs. There is also a risk that interest rates tendrate increases to increase, thereby adversely impactingfight inflation could lead to a recession.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
|
In general, market risk is the risk of change in asset values due to movements in underlying market rates and prices. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting us as other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of our business activities.
In addition to interest rate risk, economic conditions in recent years have made liquidity risk (namely, funding liquidity risk) a more prevalent concern among financial institutions. In general, liquidity risk is the risk of being unable to fund an entity’s obligations to creditors (including, in the case of banks, obligations to depositors) as such obligations become due and/or fund its acquisition of assets.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity refers to our ability to fund operations, to meet depositor withdrawals, to provide for our customers’ credit needs, and to meet maturing obligations and existing commitments. Our liquidity principally depends on cash flows from operating activities, investment in and maturity of assets, changes in balances of deposits and borrowings, and our ability to borrow funds.
Net cash provided byinflows from operating activities was $41.0were $62.6 million during 2017,the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $38.2$90.3 million in 2016the year ended December 31, 2022 and $32.7$111.6 million in 2015. Proceeds from loans held for sale, net of funds used to originate loans held for sale, represented a $3.4 million inflow for 2017, compared to an outflow of $1.1 million for 2016 and a $2.4 million net outflow for 2015.
the year ended December 31, 2021. Net cash used ininflows from investing activities was $148.8were $129.7 million during 2017,the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with net cash used in investing activitiesoutflows of $123.6$273.3 million in 2016the year ended December 31, 2022 and net cash provided by investing activitiesoutflows of $5.0$428.3 million in 2015. During 2017, securities transactions were cash neutral, while they resulted in a net cash outflow for 2016 of $108.8 million, and a net cash inflow of $137.7 million for 2015.the year ended December 31, 2021. Net origination of loans and principal received from loan pools resulted in $133.8 million in cash outflows for 2017, compared to a $20.6 million outflows for 2016 and $86.9 million outflows in 2015. Net cash used to acquire Central in 2015 was $35.6 million.
Net cash provided byfrom financing activities was $115.5were $197.0 million during 2017,the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with net cash provided by financing activitiesinflows of $81.5$65.5 million in 2016,the year ended December 31, 2022, and net cash used in financing activitiesinflows of $14.0$437.9 million in 2015. Sourcesthe year ended December 31, 2021.
Table of cash from financing activities for 2017 included a $124.9 million increase in net deposits, and $24.4 million (net of expenses) proceeds from the issuance of common stock. These increases in cash were partially offset by a net decrease of $34.7 million in federal funds purchased, $8.1 million cash dividends paid, and $5.0 million in payments on long-term debt. In 2016, our main sources of cash from financing activities were a net increase of $34.2 million in federal funds purchased, $28.0 million net proceeds from FHLB borrowings, and a $16.9 million increase in net deposits, partially offset by $7.3 million cash dividends paid, and $5.0 million in payments on long-term debt. In 2015, our main sources of cash from financing activities were $25.0 million of new long-term borrowings, $7.9 million proceeds from the issuance of common stock, and a $5.8 million increase in net deposits, partially offset by a net decrease of $15.9 million in federal funds purchased, $12.7 million to redeem a subordinated note, and a net decrease in FHLB borrowings of $6.0 million.Contents To further mitigatemanage liquidity risk, the Bank has several sources of liquidity in place to maximize funding availability and increase the diversification of funding sources. The criteria for evaluating the use of these sources include volume concentration (percentage of liabilities), cost, volatility, and the fit with the current asset/liability management plan. These acceptable sources of liquidity include:
•Federal funds lines;Funds Lines
FHLB borrowings;
Brokered deposits;
Brokered repurchase agreements; and
•Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window.Window/Bank Term Funding Program
•Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
•Brokered Deposits
•Brokered Repurchase Agreements
Federal Funds Lines: Routine Federal funds positions provide a source of short-term liquidity requirements are met by fluctuations infunding for the federal funds position of the Bank. The principal function of these funds is to maintain short-term liquidity. Unsecured federal funds purchased lines are viewed as a volatile liability and are not used as a long-term funding solution, especially when used to fund long-term assets. Multiple correspondent relationships are preferable and federal funds sold exposure to any one customer is continuously monitored. The current federal funds purchased limit is 10% of total assets, or the amount of established federal funds lines, whichever is smaller. Currently, the Bank hasmaintains several unsecured federal funds lines totaling $150.0$155.0 million, which lines are tested annually to ensure availability.
Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window and Bank Term Funding Program: The Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window and the BTFP are additional sources of liquidity, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty or stress. The Bank has a borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago limited by the amount of municipal securities pledged against the line. As of December 31, 2023, the Bank had municipal securities with an approximate market value of $797.6 million pledged for liquidity purposes, and had additional borrowing capacity of $428.8 million. There were no outstanding borrowings through the FRB Discount Window at December 31, 2023. There were $285.0 million of BTFP borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2023. The Federal Reserve has announced that it is ending the BTFP and will cease making new loans under this program on March 11, 2024.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances:FHLB Borrowings: FHLB borrowingsadvances provide both a source of liquidity and long-term funding for the Bank. Use of this type of funding is coordinated with bothAll credit exposure, including advances and federal funds borrowings from the strategic balance sheet growth projectionsFHLBDM are collateralized primarily by one- to four-family residential, commercial and interest rate risk profileagricultural real estate first mortgages equal to various percentages of the Bank. Factors that are taken into account when contemplating use of FHLB borrowings are the effective interest rate, the collateral requirements, community investment program credits, and the implications and cost of having to purchase incremental FHLB stock.total outstanding notes. The current FHLB borrowingcredit limit established by the FHLBDM is 35%equal to 45% of the Bank’s total assets. This credit capacity limit includes short-term and long-term borrowings, federal funds, letters of credit, and other sources of credit exposure to the FHLB. As of December 31, 2017,2023, the Bank had $115.0$10.2 million of short-term FHLB advances and $6.3 million in outstandinglong-term FHLB borrowings leaving $198.0 million available for liquidity needs, based on collateral capacity. These borrowings are secured by various real estate loans (residential, commercial and agricultural).additional borrowing capacity of $795.9 million.
Brokered Deposits and Reciprocal Deposits: The Bank has brokered certificate oftime deposit lines/and non-maturity deposit relationships available to help diversify its various funding sources. Brokered deposits offer several benefits relative to other funding sources, such as: maturity structures which cannot be duplicated in the current depositretail market, deposit gathering which does not cannibalize the existing deposit base, the unsecured nature of these liabilities, and the ability to quickly generate funds. However, brokered deposits are often viewed as a volatile liability by banking regulators and market participants. This viewpoint, and the desire to not develop a large funding concentration in any one area outside of theThe Bank’s core market area, is reflected in an internal policy stating that the Bank limitlimits the use of brokered deposits as a funding source to no more than 10%20% of total assets. Board approval is required to exceed this limit. The Bank will also have tomust maintain a “well capitalized” standingrating to access brokered deposits as anwithout FDIC waiver. An “adequately capitalized” rating would requirerequires an FDIC waiver to do so,access brokered deposits and an “undercapitalized” rating would prohibit itprohibits the Bank from using brokered deposits. At December 31, 2023, the Company held $221.0 million of brokered deposits.
Under a final rule that was issued by the FDIC in December 2018, financial institutions that are considered "well capitalized" qualify for the exemption of certain reciprocal deposits altogether.from being considered brokered deposits. Such exemption is limited to the lesser of 20 percent of total liabilities or $5.00 billion, with some exceptions for financial institutions that do not meet such criteria. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $15.2 million of reciprocal time deposits and $128.0 million of reciprocal interest bearing non-maturity deposits, and $58.0 million non-interest bearing non-maturity deposits that qualified for the brokered deposit exemption. These reciprocal deposits are part of the IntraFi Network Deposits program, which is used by financial institutions to spread deposits that exceed the FDIC insurance coverage limits out to numerous institutions in order to provide insurance coverage for all participating deposits.
Brokered Repurchase Agreements: Brokered repurchase agreements may be established with approved brokerage firms and banks. Repurchase agreements create rollover risk (the risk that a broker will discontinue the relationship due to market factors) and are not used as a long-term funding solution, especially when used to fund long-term assets. Collateral requirements and availability are evaluated and monitored. The current policy limit for brokered repurchase agreements is 10%15% of total assets. There were no outstanding brokered repurchase agreements at December 31, 2017.2023.
Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window: The Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window is another source
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is defined as the exposure of net interest income and fair value of financial instruments (interest-earning assets, deposits and borrowings) to movements in interest rates. The Company’s results of operations depend to a large degree on its net interest income and its ability to manage interest rate risk. The Company considers interest rate risk to be one of its morea significant market risks.risk. The major sources of the Company'sCompany’s interest rate risk are timing differences in the maturity and re-pricing characteristics of assets and liabilities, changes in the shape of the yield curve, changes in customer behavior and changes in relationships between rate indices (basis risk). Management measures these risks and their impact in various ways, including through the use of income simulation and valuation analyses. Multiple interest rate scenarios are evaluatedused in this analysis which include gradual or rapid changes in interest rates, spread narrowing and widening, yield curve twists and changes in assumptions about customer behavior in various interest rate scenarios. A mismatch between maturities, interest rate sensitivities and prepayment characteristics of assets and liabilities results in interest-rate risk. Like most financial institutions, we have material interest-rate risk exposure to changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates, as well as variable interest rate indices (e.g., the prime rate or LIBOR)SOFR). The change in the Company’s interest rate profile between December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017 is largely attributable to the growth in the investment securities portfolio.
The Bank’s asset and liability committee meets regularly and is responsible for reviewing its interest rate sensitivity position and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. Our asset and liability committee seeks to
manage interest rate risk under a variety of rate environments by structuring our balance sheet and off-balance-sheet positions in such a way that changes in interest rates do not have a large negative impact. The risk is monitored and managed within approved policy limits.
We use a third-party service to model and measure our exposure to potential interest rate changes. For various assumed hypothetical changes in market interest rates, numerous other assumptions are made, such as prepayment speeds on loans and securities backed by mortgages, the slope of the Treasury yield-curve, the rates and volumes of our deposits, and the rates and volumes of our loans. There are two primary tools used to evaluate interest rate risk: net interest income simulation and economic value of equity ("EVE"). In addition, interest rate gap is reviewed to monitor asset and liability repricing over various time periods.
Net Interest Income Simulation: Management utilizes net interest income simulation models to estimate the near-term effects of changing interest rates on its net interest income. Net interest income simulation involves forecastingprojecting net interest income under a variety of scenarios, includingwhich include varying the level of interest rates and shifts in the shape of the yield curve. Management exercises its best judgment in making assumptions regarding events that management can influence, such as non-contractual deposit re-pricings, and events outside management'smanagement’s control, such as customer behavior on loan and deposit activity and the effect that competition has on both loan and deposit pricing. These assumptions are subjective and, as a result, net interest income simulation results will differ from actual results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, changes in market conditions, customer behavior and management strategies, among other factors. We perform various sensitivity analyses on assumptions of deposit attrition and deposit re-pricing.
The following table presents the anticipated effect on net interest income over a twelve month period if short- and long-term interest rates were to sustain an immediate decrease of 100 basis points or 200 basis points, or an immediate increase of 100 basis points andor 200 basis points.points:

Economic Value of Equity: Management also uses EVE to measure risk in the balance sheet that might not be taken into account in the net interest income simulation analysis. Net interest income simulation highlights exposure over a relatively short time period, while EVE analysis incorporates all cash flows over the estimated remaining life of all balance sheet positions. The valuation of the balance sheet, at a point in time, is defined as the discounted present value of asset cash flows minus the discounted present value of liability cash flows. EVE analysis addresses only the current balance sheet and does not incorporate
the run-off replacement assumptions that are used in the net interest income simulation model. As with the net interest income simulation model, EVE analysis is based on key assumptions about the timing and variability of balance sheet cash flows and does not take into account any potential responses by management to anticipated changes in interest rates.
Interest Rate Gap:Gap - The interest rate gap is the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities re-pricing within a given period and represents the net asset or liability sensitivity at a point in time. An interest rate gap measure could be significantly affected by external factors such as loan prepayments, early withdrawals of deposits, changes in the correlation of various interest-bearing instruments, competition, or a rise or decline in interest rates.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ (the Company) as of December 31, 20172023 and 2016, and2022, the related consolidated statements of operations,income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017,2023, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20172023 and 2016,2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017,2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013, and our report dated March 1, 20188, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits includesincluded performing procedures to assess the riskrisks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also includeincluded evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Allowance for Credit Losses
At December 31, 2023, the Company’s total loans were $4.13 billion and the associated allowance for credit losses was $51.5 million. As explained in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the allowance for credit losses consists of reserves for expected losses over the life of the loans that have been identified by management related to specific borrowing relationships that are collateral dependent financial assets evaluated for impairment (individual basis), as well as expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio that are not specifically identified (pool basis). The Company measures expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when the financial assets share similar risk characteristics. Depending on the nature of the pool of financial assets with similar risk characteristics, the Company uses a discounted cash flow (DCF) method or a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses which includes adjustments for forecast periods. In addition, management utilizes qualitative factors to adjust the calculated allowance for credit losses as appropriate. Qualitative factors are based on management’s judgement of company, market, industry, or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.
We identified the qualitative factors applied to the allowance for credit losses as a critical audit matter, because auditing this matter required significant auditor judgement due to the highly subjective nature of management’s significant inputs and assumptions used in the allowance for credit losses model.
Our audit procedures related to management’s evaluation and establishment of the qualitative factors applied to the allowance for credit losses include the following, among others:
•We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to the qualitative factors applied to the allowance for credit losses and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness, including controls over management’s establishment, review and approval of the qualitative factors and the data used in determining the qualitative factors.
•We tested the completeness, accuracy and relevance of the data inputs used by management as a basis for the qualitative factors by agreeing them to internal and external data sources.
•We tested management’s process by evaluating the reasonableness of the overall qualitative factor adjustments based on the data inputs used by management.
Goodwill
The Company’s goodwill balance on December 31, 2023 was $62.5 million. As explained in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, goodwill of a reporting unit is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company estimates the fair value of the single reporting unit by making significant estimates and assumptions related to the specific circumstances of the reporting unit, such as net interest income and net income projections, based on historical results and industry data, and the selection of an appropriate discount rate. During 2023, the Company identified a triggering event due to the volatility and overall decrease in the Company’s stock price and performed an interim impairment test.
We identified management’s goodwill impairment assessments as a critical audit matter because of the complexity of the analyses and certain significant assumptions, including the projected cash flows, discount rate, control premium, transaction multiples and trading multiples of comparable companies. Auditing management’s assumptions required significant auditor judgment and increased audit effort, including the use of our valuation specialists.
Our audit procedures related to management’s goodwill impairment assessments include the following, among others:
•We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to the goodwill impairment assessments and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness, including controls over management’s preparation of cash flow projections, review of the significant assumptions, such as discount rate, control premium and transaction multiples of comparable market companies and review of the computations.
•We utilized internal valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions by:
–Reviewing publicly available market data and comparing it to management’s estimate of the control premium used by management;
–Comparing publicly available market transactions and trading multiples for comparable market companies to assumptions used in management’s analysis; and
–Testing the relevance and reliability of source information underlying the determination of the discount rates and testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s cash flow projections by comparing forecasts to historical data and by comparison of current operating ratios, such as return on assets, loan to deposit and net interest margin to historical and peer group results.

The wealth management area of theBank administers estates, personal trusts, and conservatorshipsconservatorship accounts along with providing other management services to customers.
On May 1, 2015,June 9, 2022, the Company consummated a merger with Centralacquired Iowa First Bancshares Inc.Corp., a Minnesota corporation. In connection withbank holding company whose wholly-owned banking subsidiaries were First National Bank of Muscatine and First National Bank in Fairfield, community banks located in Muscatine and Fairfield, Iowa, respectively. Immediately following the merger, Central Bank, a Minnesota-chartered commercial bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Central, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MidWestOne. Per the merger agreement, eachcompletion of the outstanding sharesacquisition, First National Bank of Central common stock was converted into the pro rata portion of 2,723,083 shares of Company common stockMuscatine and $64.0 millionFirst National Bank in cash (See Note 2. “Business Combination” for additional information). On April 2, 2016, Central BankFairfield were merged with and into the Bank. As consideration for the merger, we paid cash in the amount of $46.7 million.
Accounting estimatesEstimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectaffect: (1) the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and(2) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available to management at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain significant estimatesSignificant Estimates: The allowance for loancredit losses, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, and the annual impairment testing of goodwill and the fair values of investment securities and other financial instrumentsintangible assets involve certain significant estimates made by management. These estimates are reviewed by management routinely, and it is reasonably possible that circumstances that exist may change in the near-term future and that the effect could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Principles of consolidationConsolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc., a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary MidWestOne Bank, which is a state chartered bank whose primary federal regulator is the FDIC, and MidWestOne Insurance Services, Inc.FDIC. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ consolidated financial statements to present them on a basis comparable with the current period’s consolidated financial statements.
Trust assets, other than cash deposits held by the Bank in a fiduciary or agency capacity for its customers, are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because such accounts are not assets of the the Bank.
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into a transaction with a variable interest entity (“VIE”). VIEs are legal entities whose investors lack the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities, or whose equity investors do not have the right to receive the residual returns of the entity. The applicable accounting guidance requires the Company to perform ongoing quantitative and qualitative analysis to determine whether it must consolidate any VIE. The Company does not have any ownership interest in or exert any control over any VIE, and thus no VIEs are included in the consolidated financial statements. Investments in non-marketable loan participation certificates for which the Company does not have the ability to exert significant influence are accounted for using the cost method.
Presentation of cash flowsCash Flows: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Cash flows from portfolio loans, originated by the Bank, deposits, federal funds purchased, and securities sold under agreements to repurchaseshort-term borrowings are reported net.
MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Cash receipts and cash payments resulting from acquisitionsoriginations and sales of loans originatedheld for sale are classified as operating cash flows on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The nature of the Company’s business requires that it maintain amounts due from banks that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. In the opinion of management, no material risk of loss exists due to the various correspondent banks’ financial condition and the fact that they are well capitalized.
Investment securitiesSecurities: Certain debtDebt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost. SecuritiesDebt securities not classified as held to maturity including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as available for sale and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become 90 days delinquent. Interest accrued but not received for a security placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income.
The Company employs valuation techniques whichthat utilize observable inputs when those inputs are available. These observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security, developed based on market data obtained from
MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
sources independent of the Company. When such information is not available, the Company employs valuation techniques which utilize unobservable inputs, or those which reflect the Company’s own assumptions about assumptions that market participants would use, based on the best information available in the circumstances. These valuation methods typically involve cash flow and other financial modeling techniques. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, estimates, or other inputs to the valuation techniques could have a material impact on the Company’s future financial condition and results of operations. Fair value measurements are required to be classified as Level 1 (quoted prices), Level 2 (based on observable inputs) or Level 3 (based on unobservable inputs) discussed in more detail in Note 2020. Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements to the consolidated financial statements. Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized.
Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method between the date of purchase and the first call date, or the maturity date of the security when there is no call date. Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In determining whether other than temporary impairment exists, management considers whether: (1) we have the intent to sell the security; (2) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis; and (3) we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.
Held to Maturity Debt Securities - The Company evaluates debt securities held to maturity for current expected credit losses. Held-to-maturity securities are evaluated on a quarterly basis using historical probability of default and loss given default information specific to the investment category. If this evaluation determines that credit losses exist, an allowance for credit loss is recorded and included in earnings as a component of credit loss expense. The Company's mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are issued by U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises and are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, and as such are excluded from the credit loss evaluation. Accrued interest receivable on held to maturity debt securities is recorded within 'Other Assets,' and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
Available for Sale Debt Securities - Available for sale debt securities are recorded at fair value. Realized gain or losses on sales of available for sale debt securities are included in earnings. Available for sale debt securities with unrealized gains are excluded from earnings and included in other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax. When the fair value of an available for sale debt security falls below the amortized cost basis, it is evaluated to determine if any of the decline in value is attributable to credit loss. Decreases in fair value attributable to credit loss would be recorded directly to earnings with a corresponding allowance for credit losses, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. If the credit quality subsequently improves the allowance would be reversed up to a maximum of the previously recorded credit losses. If the Company intends to sell an impaired available for sale debt security, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovering the amortized cost basis, the entire fair value adjustment would be immediately recognized in earnings with no corresponding allowance for credit losses. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
Loans: Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of purchase premiums, purchase discounts and net deferred loan fees. Net deferred loan fees include nonrefundable loan origination fees less direct loan origination costs. Net deferred loan fees, purchase premiums and costs and allowancepurchase discounts are amortized into interest income using either the interest method or straight-line method over the terms of the loans, adjusted for loan losses.actual prepayments. The interest method is used for all loans except revolving loans, for which the straight-line method is used. Interest on loans is credited to income as earned based on the principal amount outstanding. Deferred loan fees and costs are amortized using the level yield method over the remaining maturities on the loans.
The accrual of interest on mortgageagricultural, commercial, commercial real estate, non-owner occupied residential real estate, and commercial loansconsumer loan segments is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due, and owner occupied residential real estate loan segments at 120 days past due, unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date, if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is generally accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Purchased loans: All purchased loans (nonimpaired and impaired) are initially measured at fair valueThe Company requires a loan to be charged-off, in whole or in part, as of the acquisition date in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value. An allowance for loan losses is not recorded at the acquisition date for loans purchased.
Individual loans acquired through the completion of a transfer, including loanssoon as it becomes apparent that have evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the Companysome loss will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable, are referred to herein as “purchased credit impaired loans.” In determining the acquisition date fair value and estimated credit lossesincurred, or when its collectability is sufficiently questionable that it no longer is considered a bankable asset.

Expected cash flows atconsiderations when determining if and how much of a loan should be charged-off are as follows: (1) the purchase date in excess of the fair value of loans, if any, are recorded as interest income over the expected life of the loans if the timing and amount ofpotential for future cash flows are reasonably estimable. Subsequent toflows; (2) the purchase date, increases in cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized as interest income prospectively. The present value of any decreases in expected cash flows aftercollateral; and (3) the purchase date is recognized by recording an allowance for loan losses and a provision for loan losses. If the Company does not have the information necessary to reasonably estimate cash flows to be expected, it may use the cost-recovery methodstrength of any co-makers or cash-basis method of income recognition.guarantors.
Subsequent to the purchase date, increases in cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized as interest income prospectively. Subsequent to the purchase date, the methods utilized to estimate the required allowance for loan losses for theseAcquired Loans - Acquired loans are similar to originated loans. The remaining differences betweenseparated into two categories based on the purchase price andcredit risk characteristics of the unpaid balance atunderlying borrowers as either PCD, for loans which have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination, or loans with no credit deterioration (non-PCD). At the date of acquisition, are recorded inan ACL on PCD loans is determined and added to the amortized cost basis of the individual loans. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan.
Covered assets and indemnification asset: As part of the Central transaction, the Company assumed loss-share or similar credit protection agreements with the FDIC. The FDIC loss sharing agreements were terminatedACL on July 14, 2017, at which time thePCD loans were reclassified to non-covered assets.
Loan Pool Participations: In 2010, the Company made the decision to exit the loan pool participation line of business, and all remaining loan pool participations were sold in June 2015.
Loans held for sale: Loans originated and intended for saleis recorded in the secondary market are carriedacquisition accounting and no provision for credit losses is recognized at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value, as determined by aggregate outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses, if any,acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the ACL are recognizedrecorded through a valuation allowance by charges to income.
Mortgageprovision expense. For non-PCD loans, held for sale are generally sold with the mortgage servicing rights retained. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the difference between the selling price plus the value of servicing rights, less the carrying value of the related mortgage loans sold.
Allowance for loan losses: The allowance for loan lossesan ACL is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged againstimmediately after the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired as well as any loan (regardless of classification) meeting the definition of a troubled debt restructuring, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers loans not classified as impaired and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include: payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller-balance loans (with individual balances less than $100,000) are not evaluated for impairment, but are collectively applied a standard allocation under ASC 450.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Transfers of financial assets: Revenue from the origination and sale of loans in the secondary market is recognized upon the transfer of financial assets and accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. The Company also sells participation interests in some large loans originated, to non-affiliated entities. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company; (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the assets it received and no condition both constrains the transferee from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor; and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assetsacquisition through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.
Revenue recognition: Trust fees, deposit account service charges and other fees are recognized when payment is received for the services (cash basis), which generally occurs at the time the services are provided.
Credit-related financial instruments: In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. The Company records a liability to the extent losses on its commitments to lend are probable.
Premises and equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The estimated useful lives and primary method of depreciation for the principal items are as follows:
|
| | | | | |
| Years | | |
Type of Assets | Minimum | | Maximum | | Depreciation Method |
| | | | | |
Buildings and leasehold improvements | 10 | - | 30 | | Straight-line |
Furniture and equipment | 3 | - | 10 | | Straight-line |
Charges for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recorded.
Other real estate owned: Real estate properties acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Fair value is determined by management by obtaining appraisals or other market value information at least annually. Any write-downs in value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management by obtaining updated appraisals or other market value information. Any subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of a property to the updated fair value less estimated selling cost. Net costs related to the holding of properties are included in noninterest expense.
Goodwill and other intangibles: Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for as purchases. Under ASC Topic 350, goodwill of a reporting unit is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company's annual assessment is done at the unit level. The Company did not recognize impairment losses during the year ended December 31, 2017. Any future impairment will be recorded as noninterest expense in the period of assessment. Certain other intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over the remaining useful lives.
Mortgage servicing rights: Mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value based on assumptions through a third-party valuation service. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the servicing cost per loan, the discount rate, the escrow float rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.
Bank-owned life insurance: Bank-owned life insurance is carried at cash surrender value, net of surrender and other charges, with increases/decreases reflected as income/expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Employee benefit plans: Deferred benefits under a salary continuation plan are charged to expense during the period in which the participating employees attain full eligibility.

Stock-based compensation: Compensation expense for share based awards is recorded over the vesting period at the fair value of the award at the time of grant. The exercise price of options or fair value of nonvested shares granted under the Company’s incentive plans is equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant date. The Company assumes no projected forfeitures on its stock based compensation, since actual historical forfeiture rates on its stock-based incentive awards has been negligible.
Income taxes: The Company and/or its subsidiaries currently file tax returns in all states and local taxing jurisdictions which impose corporate income, franchise or other taxes where it operates. The methods of filing and the methods for calculating taxable and apportionable income vary depending upon the laws of the taxing jurisdiction. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes a tax position as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act introduced tax reform that reduced the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, among other changes. While the corporate tax rate reduction is effective January 1, 2018, GAAP required a revaluation of the Company’s net deferred tax asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense as changes in tax laws are enacted. On February 14, 2018 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments of this ASU allow a reclassification from other accumulated comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act.
The Company’s revaluation of its deferred tax asset is subject to further clarifications of the Tax Act that cannot be estimated at this time, and the Company will continue to analyze the Tax Act to determine the full effects of the new law, including the new lower corporate tax rate, on its financial condition and results of operations. See Note 13. “Income Taxes” for more information,
There were no material unrecognized tax benefits or any interest or penalties on any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Common stock: On July 17, 2014, the board of directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program, allowing for the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of stock through December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the program, the Company could continue to repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, and the method, timing and amounts of repurchase were solely in the discretion of the Company's management. The repurchase program did not require the Company to acquire a specific number of shares. Therefore, the amount of shares repurchased pursuant to the program depended on several factors, including market conditions, capital and liquidity requirements, and alternative uses for cash available. In 2015 and 2016 the Company repurchased no shares of common stock.
On July 21, 2016, the board of directors of the Company approved a new share repurchase program, allowing for the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of stock through December 31, 2018. During 2016 and 2017, the Company repurchased no common stock under this plan, and thus, of the $5.0 million of stock authorized under the repurchase plan, $5.0 million remained available for possible future repurchases as of December 31, 2017.
On May 1, 2015, in connection with the Central merger, the Company issued 2,723,083 shares of its common stock. On June 22, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional accredited investors, pursuant to which, on June 23, 2015, the Company sold an aggregate of 300,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $28.00 per share. Each of the purchasers was an existing shareholder of the Company.

On March 17, 2017, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement to offer and sell, through an underwriter, up to 750,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock at a public purchase price of $34.25 per share. This included 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock granted as a 30-day option to purchase to cover over-allotments, if any. On April 6, 2017, the underwriter purchased the full amount of its over-allotment option of 250,000 shares.
Comprehensive income: Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets, and are disclosed in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in shareholders’ equity, net of tax, are as follows: |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606). The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts(s) with the customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. For a public entity, the amendments in this update were effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application was not permitted. In July 2015, the FASB announced a delay to the effective date of Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-09, Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606). Reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original date, or take advantage of a one-year delay. For a public entity, the revised effective date is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted prior to the original effective date. The Company’s revenue is comprised of interest income on financial assets, which is excluded from the scope of this new guidance, and noninterest income. This new guidance will required the Company to examine how certain recurring revenue streams are recognized within trust and asset management fees, sales of other real estate, and debit card interchange fees. Topic 606 provides for two transition methods available for an entity to elect from at adoption of the standard. The full-retrospective method requires Topic 606 to be applied to all prior reporting periods presented. The modified-retrospective method requires the application of Topic 606 at the adoption date to be accounted for through a cumulative effect adjustment from the initial application of Topic 606 to the beginning balance of stockholders’ equity in the year of adoption. The Company has finalized its analysis of the expected areas of impact using the modified retrospective transition method, and has determined that the effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is immaterial, thus no adjustment to beginning stockholders’ equity for 2018 was required. The Company will adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this update provide guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. In doing so, the amendment should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. Disclosures are required if it is probable an entity will be unable to meet its obligations within the look-forward period of twelve months after the financial statements are made available. Incremental substantial doubt disclosure is required if the probability is not mitigated by management’s plans. The new standard applies to all entities for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance in this update makes changes to the current GAAP model primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The accounting for other financial instruments, such as loans, investments in debt securities, and financial liabilities is largely unchanged. The treatment of gains and losses for all equity securities, including those without a readily determinable market value, is expected to result in additional volatility in the income statement, with the loss of mark to market via equity for these investments. Additionally, changes in the allowable method for determining the fair value of financial instruments in the financial statement footnotes (“exit price” only) will likely require changes to current methodologies of determining these values, and how they are disclosed in the financial statement footnotes. The new standard applies to public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years on a prospective basis, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the fiscal year adopted. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company has formed a working group to evaluate the changes required as a result of the adoption of this ASU and is engaged in discussions with a third party to assist with the calculation of fair value information, particularly for fair value disclosures of the Company's loan portfolio. The application of the ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this update is meant to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. All leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee in accordance with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, and, therefore, recognition of those lease assets and lease liabilities represents an improvement over previous GAAP, which did not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized for most leases. Disclosures are required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. To meet that objective, qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures are required. The new standard applies to public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company has several lease agreements, such as branch locations, which are currently considered operating leases, and therefore not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects the new guidance will require these lease agreements to now be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use assets and a corresponding lease liability. However, the Company continues to evaluate the extent of the potential impact the new guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the availability of outside vendor products to assist in the implementation, and does not expect to early adopt the standard.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The guidance involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard applies to public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments were effective January 1, 2017. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The effect of this election and other amendments did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The amendment requires the use of a new model covering current expected credit losses (CECL), which will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the CECL model requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses (ECL) should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. The new guidance also amends the current available for sale (AFS) security OTTI model for debt securities. The new model will require an estimate of ECL only when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset. The length of time the fair value of an AFS debt security has been below the amortized cost will no longer impact the determination of whether a credit loss exists. As such, it is no longer an other-than-temporary model. Finally, the purchased financial assets with credit deterioration (PCD) model applies to purchased financial assets (measured at amortized cost or AFS) that have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination.
MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This represents a change from the scope of what are considered purchased credit-impaired assets under today’s model. Different than the accounting for originated or purchased assets that do not qualify as PCD, the initial estimate of expected credit losses for a PCD would be recognized through an allowance for loan and lease losses with an offset to the cost basis of the related financial asset at acquisition. The new standard applies to public business entities that are SEC filers in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and is expected to increase the allowance for loan losses upon adoption. The Company has formed a working group to evaluate the impact of the standard’s adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and has selected an outside vendor software system with the ability to meet the processing necessary to support the data collection, retention, and disclosure requirements of the Company in implementation of the new standard. The Company does not anticipate the early adoption of this standard.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. The update applies to public business entities that are SEC filers in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company early adopted this amendment during the second quarter of 2017, and adoption did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) - Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The new guidance requires that the premium amortization period on non-contingently callable securities, end at the earliest call date, rather than the contractual maturity date. The shorter amortization period means that interest income would generally be lower in the periods before the earliest call date and higher thereafter (if the security is not called) compared to current GAAP. The update applies to public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted this update during the second quarter of 2017. Since the Company was already amortizing premiums on callable investment securities between the date of purchase and the first call date, there was no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this update more closely align the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. The amendments address specific limitations in current GAAP by expanding hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and by refining the measurement of hedge results to better reflect the hedging strategies. Thus, the amendments will enable more faithful reporting of the economic results of hedging activities for certain fair value and cash flow hedges and will avoid mismatches in earnings by allowing for greater precision when measuring changes in fair value of the hedged item for certain fair value hedges. Additionally, by aligning the timing of recognition of hedge results with the earnings effect of the hedged item for cash flow and net investment hedges, and by including the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is presented, the results of a hedging program and the cost of executing that program will be more visible to users of financial statements. The new standard applies to public business entities that are SEC filers for annual or any interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted with cumulative effect adjustment being reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year, generally through an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income and retained earnings. The Company adopted this update during the third quarter of 2017. Since the Company currently has no hedging arrangements, there was no cumulative effect adjustment necessary to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act introduced tax reform that reduced the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, among other changes. Stakeholders in the banking and insurance industries submitted unsolicited comment letters to the FASB about a narrow-scope financial reporting issue that arose as a consequence of the Tax Act. Specifically, stakeholders expressed concern about the guidance in current GAAP that requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws or rates with the effect included in income from continuing operations in the reporting period that includes the enactment date. That
MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
guidance is applicable even in situations in which the related income tax effects of items in accumulated other comprehensive income were originally recognized in other comprehensive income (rather than in income from continuing operations). The amendments in this update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Act is recognized. The Company adopted this update effective for the year ended December 31, 2017. The amount of the reclassification for the Company was $465 thousand, as shown in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity.

Note 2. | Business Combination |
On May 1, 2015, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Central, a bank holding company and the parent company of Central Bank, a commercial bank headquartered in Golden Valley, Minnesota, through the merger of Central with and into the Company. Among other things, this transaction provided the Company with the opportunity to expand the business into new markets and grow the size of the business. At the effective time of the merger, each share of common stock of Central converted into a pro rata portion of (1) 2,723,083 shares of common stock of the Company, and (2) $64.0 million in cash.
This business combination was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired company have been included in the Company’s results of operations since the date of acquisition. Under this method of accounting, assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. As the consideration paid for Central exceeded the net assets acquired, goodwill of $64.7 million has been recorded on the acquisition. Goodwill recorded in this transaction, which reflects the entry into the geographically new markets served by Central. Goodwill recorded in the transaction is not tax deductible. The amounts recognized for the business combination in the financial statements have been determined to be final as of March 31, 2016.

Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded and initially measured at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value. An allowance for loan losses is not carried over. These purchased loans are segregated into two types: purchased credit impaired loans and purchased non-credit impaired loans without evidence of significant credit deterioration.
Purchased credit impaired loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” as they display significant credit deterioration since origination and it is probable, as of the acquisition date, that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments from the borrower.
Purchased non-credit impaired loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-20 “Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” as these loans do not have evidence of significant credit deterioration since origination and it is probable all contractually required payments will be received from the borrower.
For purchased non-credit impaired loans, the difference between the estimated fair value of the loans (computed on a loan-by-loan basis) and the principal outstanding is accreted over the remaining life of the loans.
For purchased credit impaired loans the difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the expected remaining life of the loan if the timing and amount of the future cash flows are reasonably estimable. Subsequent to the purchase date, increases in cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized as interest income prospectively. The present value of any decreases in expected cash flows after the purchase date is recognized by recording an allowanceprovision for credit losses and a provision for loan losses.

Disclosures required by ASC 805-20-50-1(a) concerning the FDIC indemnification assets have not been included due to the immateriality of the amount involved. See Note 4. “Loans Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the FDIC indemnification asset.
ASC 805-30-30-7 requires that the consideration transfered in a business combination should be measured at fair value. Since the common shares issued as part of the consideration of the merger included a restriction on their sale, pledge or other disposition, an illiquidity discount has been assigned to the shares based upon the volatility of the underlying shares’ daily returns and the period of restriction.
The Company recorded $4.6 million in pre-tax merger-related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016, including retention and severance compensation costs in the amount of $2.1 million, which are included in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of operations. The remainder of merger-related expenses consisted of data processing contract termination expenses in the amount of $1.9 million, which are included in data processing expense in the consolidated statement of operations, professional and legal fees of $0.3 million to directly consummate the merger, included in professional fees in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, and $0.3 million of miscellaneous costs, which are included in other operating expenses. The above expenses include those associated with the merger of Central Bank with and into MidWestOne Bank, which was effective on April 2, 2016.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded $3.5 million in pre-tax merger-related expenses. These expenses primarily consisted of $1.9 million of professional and legal fees to directly consummate the merger, included in professional fees in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, $0.6 million of retention and severance compensation costs which are included in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of operations, and $1.0 million of service contract termination and miscellaneous costs, which are included in other operating expenses.
During the measurement period, specifically the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized adjustments to the provisional amounts reported at December 31, 2015, which reflect new information that existed as of May 1, 2015 that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. In its interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company adjusted the provisional amounts for deferred taxes. The results of this adjustment is reflected in the $0.1 million increase to goodwill during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The provisional adjustments had no impact on earnings, and in accordance with ASU 2015-16 were recorded during the three months ending March 31, 2016.

The Company's assessment of OTTI is based on its reasonable judgment of the specific facts and circumstances impacting each individual security at the time such assessments are made. The Company reviews and considers factual information, including expected cash flows, the structure of the security, the creditworthiness of the issuer, the type of underlying assets and the current and anticipated market conditions.
At December 31, 2017, approximately 57% of the municipal obligations held by the Company were Iowa-based, and approximately 22% were Minnesota-based. The Company does not intend to sell these municipal obligations, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell them until the recovery of their cost. Due to the issuers’ continued satisfaction of their obligations under the securities in accordance with their contractual terms and the expectation that they will continue to do so, management’s intent and ability to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, as well as the evaluation of the fundamentals of the issuers’ financial conditions and other objective evidence, the Company believes that the municipal obligations identified in the tables above were temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations portfolios consisted of securities predominantly backed by one- to four-family mortgage loans and underwritten to the standards of and guaranteed by the following government-sponsored agencies: the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Government National Mortgage Association. The receipt of principal, at par, and interest on mortgage-backed securities is guaranteed by the respective government-sponsored agency guarantor, such that the Company believes that its mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations do not expose the Company to credit-related losses and that these securities had no OTTI.
At December 31, 2017 and 2016, all but one of the Company’s corporate bonds held an investment grade rating from Moody’s, S&P or Kroll, or carried a guarantee from an agency of the US government. We have evaluated financial statements of the company issuing the non-investment grade bond and found the company’s earnings and equity position to be satisfactory and in line with industry norms. Therefore, we believe the low market value of this investment is temporary and expect to receive all contractual payments. The internal evaluation of the non-investment grade bond along with the investment grade ratings on the remainder of the corporate portfolio lead us to conclude that all of the corporate bonds in our portfolio will continue to pay according to their contractual terms. Since the Company has the ability and intent to hold securities until price recovery, we believe that there is no other-than-temporary-impairment of in the corporate bond portfolio.
MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2017, the Company owned $0.4 million of equity securities in banks and financial service-related companies, and $1.9 million of mutual funds invested in debt securities and other debt instruments that will cause units of the fund to be deemed to be qualified under the Community Reinvestment Act. Equity securities are considered to have OTTI whenever they have been in a loss position, compared to current book value, for twelve consecutive months, and the Company does not expect them to recover to their original cost basis. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, no impairment charges were recorded, as the affected equity securities were not deemed impaired due to stabilized market prices in relation to the Company’s original purchase price.
During the first quarter of 2017 as part of the Company’s annual review and analysis of municipal investments, $1.2 million of municipal bonds from a single issuer in the held to maturity portfolio, which did not carry a credit rating from one of the major statistical rating agencies, were identified as having an elevated level of credit risk. While the instruments were currently making payments as agreed, certain financial trends were identified that provided material doubt as to the ability of the entity to continue to service the debt in the future. The investment securities were classified as “watch,” and the Company’s asset and liability management committee were notified of the situation. In early March 2017 the Company learned of a potential buyer for the investments and a bid to purchase was received and accepted. Investment securities designated as held to maturity may generally not be sold without calling into question the Company’s stated intention to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future (“tainting”), unless certain conditions are met that provide for an exception to accounting policy. One of these exceptions, as outlined under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320-10-25-6(a), allows for the sale of an investment that is classified as held to maturity due to significant deterioration of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Since the bonds had been internally classified as “watch” due to credit deterioration, the Company believes that the sale was in accordance with the allowable provisions of ASC 320-10-25-6(a), and as such, does not “taint” the remainder of the held to maturity portfolio. A small gain was realized on the sale. During the fourth quarter of 2017, a single issuer of $0.6 million of municipal bonds in the held to maturity portfolio exercised a call option, resulting in the realization of a small gain.
It is reasonably possible that the fair values of the Company’s investment securities could decline in the future if interest rates increase or the overall economy or the financial conditions of the issuers deteriorate. As a result, there is a risk that OTTI may be recognized in the future, and any such amounts could be material to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
The contractual maturity distribution of investment debt securities at December 31, 2017, is summarized as follows: |

Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are collateralized by mortgage loans and guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. Our experience has indicated that principal payments will be collected sooner than scheduled because of prepayments. Therefore, these securities are not scheduled in the maturity categories indicated above. Equity securities available for sale with an amortized cost of $2.3 million and a fair value of $2.3 million are also excluded from this table.
Proceeds from the sales of investment securities available for sale during 2017 were $22.5 million. During 2016 there was $23.4 million of sales of investment securities available for sale, while in 2015 there was $116.8 million of sales of investment securities available for sale.

Loan Portfolio Segment Risk Characteristics
Agricultural - Agricultural loans, most of which are secured by crops, livestock, and machinery, are provided to finance capital improvements and farm operations as well as acquisitions of livestock and machinery. The ability of the borrower to repay may be affected by many factors outside of the borrower’s control including adverse weather conditions, loss of livestock due to disease or other factors, declines in market prices for agricultural products and the impact of government regulations. The ultimate repayment of agricultural loans is dependent upon the profitable operation or management of the agricultural entity. Collateral for these loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
Commercial and Industrial - Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the reported cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The collateral support provided by the borrower for most of these loans and the probability of repayment are based on the liquidation of the pledged collateral and enforcement of a personal guarantee, if any exists. The primary repayment risks of commercial and industrial loans are that the cash flows of the borrower may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. The size of the loans the Company can offer to commercial customers is less than the size of the loans that competitors with larger lending limits can offer. This may limit the Company’s ability to establish relationships with the largest businesses in the areas in which the Company operates. As a result, the Company may assume greater lending risks than financial institutions that have a lesser concentration of such loans and tend to make loans to larger businesses. Collateral for these loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. In addition, a decline in the U.S. economy could harm or continue to harm the businesses of the Company’s commercial and industrial customers and reduce the value of the collateral securing these loans.
Commercial Real Estate - The Company offers mortgage loans to commercial and agricultural customers for the acquisition of real estate used in their businesses, such as offices, warehouses and production facilities, and to real estate investors for the acquisition of apartment buildings, retail centers, office buildings and other commercial buildings. The market value of real estate

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
securing commercial real estate loans can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of the Company’s markets could increase the credit risk associated with its loan portfolio. Additionally, real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts than other loans, and the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the properties securing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt service. Economic events or governmental regulations outside of the Company’s control or that of the borrower could negatively impact the future cash flow and market values of the affected properties.
Residential Real Estate - The Company generally retains short-term residential mortgage loans that are originated for its own portfolio but sells most long-term loans to other parties while retaining servicing rights on the majority of those loans. The market value of real estate securing residential real estate loans can fluctuate as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of the Company’s markets could increase the credit risk associated with its loan portfolio. Additionally, real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts than other loans, and the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in large part, on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and is therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Consumer - Consumer loans typically have shorter terms, lower balances, higher yields and higher risks of default than real estate-related loans. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and are therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Collateral for these loans generally includes automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles, mobile homes, and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to recover and may fluctuate in value based on condition. In addition, a decline in the United States economy could result in reduced employment, impacting the ability of customers to repay their obligations.
Purchased Loan Modifications for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty: Infrequently, the Company makes modifications to certain loans in order to alleviate temporary difficulties in the borrower’s financial condition and/or constraints on the borrower’s ability to repay a loan, and to minimize potential losses to the Company. GAAP requires that certain types of modifications be reported, including:
•Principal forgiveness.
•Interest rate reduction.
•An other than-insignificant payment delay.
•Term extension.
Loans Policy
All purchased loans (nonimpairedHeld for Sale: Loans originated and impaired)intended for sale in the secondary market are initially measuredcarried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value, as determined by aggregate outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.
Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with the mortgage servicing rights retained. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the difference between the selling price plus the value of servicing rights, less the carrying value of the acquisitionrelated mortgage loans sold.
Allowance for Credit Losses Related to Loans Held for Investment:Under the current expected credit loss model, the allowance for credit losses is a valuation account estimated at each balance sheet date and deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans held for investment to present the net amount expected to be collected.
The Company estimates the ACL based on the underlying assets’ amortized cost basis, which is the amount at which the financing receivable is originated or acquired, adjusted for collection of cash and charge-offs, as well as applicable accretion or amortization of premium, discount, and net deferred fees or costs. In the event that collection of principal becomes uncertain, the Company has policies in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance. Credit discountsplace to reverse accrued interest in a timely manner. Therefore, the Company has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of ACL.

The Company applies judgment to determine when a financial asset is deemed uncollectible; however, generally speaking, an asset will be unableconsidered uncollectible no later than when all efforts at collection have been exhausted. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to collect all contractually required payments receivable, are referred to herein as “purchased credit impaired loans.” In determining the acquisition date fair value and estimatedACL when received.
The Company measures expected credit losses of purchased credit impaired loans, and in subsequent accounting,financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when the financial assets share similar risk characteristics. Depending on the nature of the pool of financial assets with similar risk characteristics, the Company accountsuses a DCF method or a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses.
The Company’s methodologies for loans individually. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceedestimating the undiscountedACL consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, expected at acquisition, or the “nonaccretable difference,” are not recognized as a yield adjustment or as aincluding information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The present valuefour quarters to historical loss driver information on a straight-line basis after four quarters.
Charge-off Policy
The Company requires a loan to be charged-off, in whole or in part, as soon as it becomes apparent that some loss will be incurred, or when its collectability is sufficiently questionable that it no longer is considered a bankable asset. The primary considerations when determining if and how much of a loan should be charged-off are as follows: (1) the potential for future cash flows; (2) the value of any collateral; and (3) the strength of any co-makers or guarantors.
When it is determined that a loan requires a partial or full charge-off, a request for approval of a charge-off is submitted to the Company's President, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, and the Senior Regional Loan officer. The Bank's board of directors formally approves all loan charge-offs. Once a loan is charged-off, it cannot be restructured and returned to the Company's books.
The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The Company requires the maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) in order to cover estimated probable losses without eroding the Company’s capital base. Calculations are done at each quarter end, or more frequently if
MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
warranted, to analyze the collectability of loans and to ensure the adequacy of the allowance. In line with FDIC directives, the ALLL calculation does not include consideration of loans held for sale or off-balance-sheet credit exposures (such as unfunded letters of credit). Determining the appropriate level for the ALLL relies on the informed judgment of management, and as such, is subject to inexactness. Given the inherently imprecise nature of calculating the necessary ALLL, the Company’s policy permits the actual ALLL to be between 20% above and 5% below the “indicated reserve.”
As part of the merger between MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank, management developed a single methodology for determining the amount of the ALLL that would be needed at the combined bank. The new methodology is a hybrid of the methods used at MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank prior to the bank merger, and the results from the new ALLL model are consistent with the results that the two banks calculated individually. The refined allowance calculation allocates the portion of allowance that was previously deemed to be unallocated to instead be included in management’s determination of appropriate qualitative factors.
Loans Reviewed Individually for ImpairmentDiscounted Cash Flow Method
The Company identifies loansuses the DCF method to estimate expected credit losses for the agricultural, commercial and industrial, CRE - construction and development, CRE - farmland, CRE - multifamily, CRE - other, RRE - owner-occupied one-to-four family first liens, RRE - nonowner-occupied one-to-four family first liens, RRE - one-to-four family junior liens, and consumer loan pools. For each of these pools, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speed, curtailments, time to recovery, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds, curtailment rates, and time to recovery are based on historical internal data.
The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine which variables are best suited to be reviewedeconomic variables utilized when modeling lifetime probability of default and evaluated individually for impairment based on current informationloss given default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and events and the probability that the borrowerloss given default will be unablereact to repay all amounts due according to the contractual termsforecasted levels of the economic variables. For the loan agreement. Specific areas of consideration include: size of credit exposure, risk rating, delinquency, nonaccrual status, and loan classification.
The level of individual impairment is measured usingpools utilizing the DCF method, management utilizes one or multiple of the following methods: (1)economic variables: Midwest unemployment, national retail sales, CRE index, US rental vacancy rate, US gross domestic product, and HPI.
For all DCF models, management has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over four quarters on a straight-line basis. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four quarter forecast period. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts are also considered by management when developing the forecast metrics.
The combination of adjustments for credit expectations (default and loss) and timing expectations (prepayment, curtailment, and time to recovery) produces an expected cash flow stream at the instrument level. Instrument effective yield is calculated, net of the impacts of prepayment assumptions, and the instrument expected cash flows are then discounted at that effective yield to produce an instrument-level net present value of expected cash flows (“NPV”). An ACL is established for the difference between the instrument’s NPV and amortized cost basis. In addition, management utilizes qualitative factors to adjust the calculated ACL as appropriate. Qualitative factors are based on management's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.
Loss-Rate Method
The Company uses a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses for the credit card and overdraft pools. For each of these pools, the Company applies an expected loss ratio based on internal and peer historical losses, adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors. Qualitative loss factors are based on management's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.
Collateral Dependent Financial Assets
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For collateral dependent financial assets where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral less costsand the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to sell; (2)be from the operation of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the present value of expected future cash flows discounted atfrom the loan's effective interest rate; or (3) the loan's observable market price. Loans that are deemed fully collateralized or have been charged down to a level corresponding with anyoperation of the three measurements require no assignment of reservescollateral. When repayment is expected to be from the ALLL.sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell.
The Company’s estimate of the ACL reflects losses expected over the contractual life of the assets, adjusted for estimated prepayments or curtailments. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications unless the Company has identified an expected MBEFD. A loan modification is a change in an existing loan contract that has been agreed to by the borrower and the Bank, which maymodified or may not be a troubled debt restructure or “TDR.” All loans deemed TDR are considered impaired. A loanrenewed is considered a TDRMBEFD when for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, a concession is granted to the borrower that would not otherwise be considered. Both financial distress on the part of the borrower and the Bank’s granting of a concession, which are detailed further below, must be present in order for the loan to be considered a TDR.
All of the following factors are indicators that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties (one or more items may be present):difficulty.
Liability for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Losses:Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit losses, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The debtor is currently in default on anyCompany’s
The debtor has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy.
There is significant doubt as to whether the debtor will continue to be a going concern.
Currently, the debtor has securities being held as collateral that have been delisted, are in the process of being delisted, or are under threat of being delisted from an exchange.
Based on estimates and projections that only encompass the current business capabilities, the debtor forecasts that its entity-specific cash flows will be insufficient to service the debt (both interest and principal) in accordance with the contractual terms of the existing agreement through maturity.
Absent the current modification, the debtor cannot obtain funds from sources other than the existing creditors at an effective interest rate equal to the current market interest rate for similar debt for a non-troubled debtor.
The following factors are potential indicators that a concession has been granted (one or multiple items may be present):
The borrower receives a reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt.
The borrower receives an extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower that the current market interest rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics.
The borrower receives a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement.
The borrower receives a deferral of required payments (principal and/or interest).
The borrower receives a reduction of the accrued interest.

exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
The following table sets forth informationCompany recognizes a liability for off-balance sheet credit losses through a charge to credit loss expense for off-balance sheet credit losses, which is included in credit loss expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancellable. The liability for off-balance sheet credit losses is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur, and is included in other liabilities on the Company's TDRsCompany’s consolidated balance sheets.
Transfers of Financial Assets: Revenue from the origination and sale of loans in the secondary market is recognized upon the transfer of financial assets and accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. The Company also sells participation interests in some large loans originated to non-affiliated entities. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company; (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the assets it received and no condition both constrains the transferee from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor; and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.
Credit-Related Financial Instruments: In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, commitments to sell loans, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Derivatives and Hedging Instruments: As part of its asset and liability management strategy, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate exposure to interest rate risks. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
In accordance with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by classcounterparty portfolio.

Loans Reviewed Collectively for Impairment
All loans not evaluated individually for impairment will be separated into homogeneous pools to be collectively evaluated. Loans will be first grouped into the various loan types (i.e. commercial, agricultural, consumer, etc.) and further segmented within each subset by risk classification (i.e. pass, special mention/watch, and substandard). Homogeneous loans past due 60-89 days and 90 days and over are classified special mention/watch and substandard, respectively, for allocation purposes.
The Company's historical loss experience for each loan type is calculated using the fiscal quarter-end data for the most recent 20 quarters as a starting point for estimating losses. In addition, other prevailing qualitative or environmental factors likely to cause probable losses to vary from historical data are incorporated in the form of adjustments to increase or decrease the loss rate applied to each group. These adjustments are documented and fully explain how the current information, events, circumstances, and conditions impact the historical loss measurement assumptions.

Foreclosed Assets, Net: Real estate properties and other assets acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure are warranted:
Changesinitially recorded at fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Fair value is determined by management by obtaining appraisals or other market value information at least annually. Any write-downs in national and local economic and business conditions and developments that affectvalue at the collectabilitydate of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments.
Changes in the quality and experience of lending staff and management.
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 the volume and severity of past due loans, classified loans and non-performing loans.
The existence and potential impact of any concentrations of credit.
Changes in the nature and terms of loans such as growth rates and utilization rates.
Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans, considering the Company’s disposition bias.
The effect of other external factors such as the legal and regulatory environment.
The Company may also consider other qualitative factors for additional allowance allocations, including changes in the Company’s loan review process. Changes in the criteria used in this evaluation or the availability of new information could cause the allowance to be increased or decreased in future periods. In addition, bank regulatory agencies, as part of their examination process, may require adjustmentsacquisition are charged to the allowance for loan lossescredit losses. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management by obtaining updated appraisals or other market value information. Any subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of a property to the updated fair value less estimated selling cost. Net costs related to the holding of properties are included in noninterest expense.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles: Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for as acquisitions. Under ASC Topic 350, goodwill of a reporting unit is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company's annual assessment is done at the reporting unit level, which the Company has concluded is at the consolidated level.
In 2023, due to the volatility and overall decrease in the Company’s stock price, management concluded that these factors led to the occurrence of a triggering event and therefore an interim impairment test over goodwill was performed as of June 30, 2023. The Company concluded based upon the results of the interim assessment that the fair value of goodwill exceeded the book value on their judgments and estimates.
The items listed above are used to determine the pass percentage for loans evaluated under ASC 450,that date, and as such goodwill was not impaired. Based upon the Company’s annual assessment, the Company also concluded that goodwill was not impaired and therefore did not recognize any impairment losses during the year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Certain other intangible assets that have finite lives are appliedamortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated life of the assets. Such assets are evaluated for impairment if events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. See Note 7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional information.

The amount of FHLB stock the Bank is required to hold is directly related to the loans risk rated pass. Due toamount of FHLB advances borrowed.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: Mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value based on assumptions through a levelthird-party valuation service. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that will cover losses above a pass allocation for loans that had a lossare observable in the last 20 quartersmarketplace and that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the servicing cost per loan, the discount rate, the escrow float rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance: BOLI represents life insurance policies on the lives of certain Company officers and directors or former officers and directors for which the Company is the beneficiary. Bank-owned life insurance is carried at cash surrender value, net of surrender and other charges, with increases/decreases reflected as noninterest income/expense in the consolidated statements of income.

apportionable income vary depending upon the laws of the taxing jurisdiction. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date of such change. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes a tax position as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. There were no material unrecognized tax benefits or any interest or penalties on any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Common Stock: On August 20, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program, allowing for the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of common stock through December 31, 2021.

Note 2.Business Combinations
Iowa First Bancshares Corp.
On June 9, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of IOFB through a merger and acquired its wholly-owned subsidiaries FNBM and FNBF for cash consideration of $46.7 million. The primary reasons for the acquisition were to enter the Muscatine, Iowa market and increase the Company’s presence in Fairfield, Iowa. Immediately following the completion of the acquisition, FNBM and FNBF were merged with and into the Bank.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their fair values as of the June 9, 2022 acquisition date, net of any applicable tax effects using a methodology similar to the Company's legacy assets and liabilities (refer to Note 20. Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding the fair value methodology). The bargain purchase gain, which is recorded in 'Other' noninterest income, was generated as a result of the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeding the merger consideration. Bargain purchase gains are recorded net of deferred taxes and are treated as permanent differences, resulting in a lower effective tax rate in the period recorded. The revenue and earnings amount specific to IOFB since the acquisition date that are included in the consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2022 are not readily determinable. The disclosures of these amounts are impracticable due to the merging of certain processes and systems at the acquisition date.

The Company evaluates debt securities held to maturity for current expected credit losses. There were no debt securities held to maturity classified as nonaccrual or past due as of December 31, 2023. Held-to-maturity securities are evaluated on a quarterly basis using historical probability of default and loss given default information specific to the investment category. If this evaluation determines that credit losses exist, an allowance for credit loss is recorded and included in earnings as a component of credit loss expense. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that no allowance for credit loss for these securities was required.

Non-accrual and Delinquent Status
Loans are placed on non-accrual when (1) payment in full of principal and interest is no longer expected or (2) principal or interest has been in default for 90 days or more for all loan types, except owner occupied residential real estate, which are moved to non-accrual at 120 days or more past due, unless the loan is both well secured with marketable collateral and in the process of collection. All loans rated doubtful or worse, and credit quality indicatorcertain loans rated substandard, are placed on non-accrual.
A non-accrual loan may be restored to an accrual status when (1) all past due principal and interest has been paid (excluding renewals and modifications that involve the capitalizing of interest) or (2) the loan becomes well secured with marketable collateral and is in the process of collection. An established track record of performance is also considered when determining accrual status.
Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement or any portion thereof remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment.

Credit Quality Information(1) AsThe Company aggregates loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, and other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually to classify the first quarter of 2017, the Company no longer consideredloans as to credit cards a separate class ofrisk. This analysis includes non-homogenous loans, and these balances were included insuch as agricultural, commercial and industrial, loans as of December 31, 2017.commercial real estate and non-owner occupied residential real estate loans. Loans not meeting the criteria described below that are analyzed individually are considered to be pass-rated. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Included within the special mention, substandard, and doubtful categories at December 31, 2017 and 2016 were purchased credit impaired loans totaling $12.6 million and $15.3 million, respectively.
Special Mention/Watch - A special mention/watch asset has 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 Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention/watch assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard - Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss - Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effectedaffected in the future.
Homogenous loans, including owner occupied residential real estate and consumer loans, are not individually risk rated. Instead, these loans are categorized based on performance: performing and nonperforming. Nonperforming loans include those loans on nonaccrual and loans greater than 90 days past due and on accrual.

Loans are placed on non-accrual when (1) payment in full
A non-accrual asset may be restored to an accrual status when (1) all past due principal and interest has been paid (excluding renewals and modifications that involve the capitalizing of interest) or (2) the loan becomes well secured with marketable collateral and is in the process of collection. An established track record of performance is also considered when determining accrual status.
Delinquency status of a loan is determined by the number of days that have elapsed past the loan’s payment due date, using the following classification groupings: 30-59 days, 60-89 days and 90 days or more. Once a TDR has gone 90 days or more past due

or is placed on nonaccrual status, it is includedThe following are the economic factors utilized by the Company for its loan credit loss estimation process at December 31, 2023, and the forecast for each factor at that date: (1) Midwest unemployment – increases over the next four forecasted quarters; (2) Year-to-year change in national retail sales - increases over the next four forecasted quarters; (3) Year-to-year change in CRE Index - decreases in the 90 daysnext four forecasted quarters; (4) Year-to-year change in U.S. GDP - increases over the next four forecasted quarters; (5) Year-to-year change in National Home Price Index – increases over the next two forecasted quarters, with declines in the third and fourth forecasted quarters; and (6) rental vacancy - increases over the next four forecasted quarters. In addition, management utilized qualitative factors to adjust the calculated ACL as appropriate. Qualitative factors are based on management’s judgment of company, market, industry or more past due or nonaccrual totals.
The following table sets forth thebusiness specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.

Purchased non-credit impaired loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-20 “Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” as these loans do not have evidence80
Purchased credit impaired loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” as they display significant credit deterioration since origination and it is probable, as of the acquisition date, that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments from the borrower.
For purchased non-credit impaired loans the accretable discount is the discount applied to the expected cash flows of the portfolio to account for the differences between the interest rates at acquisition and rates currently expected on similar portfolios in the marketplace. As the accretable discount is accreted to interest income over the expected average life of the portfolio, the result will be interest income on loans at the estimated current market rate. We record a provision for the acquired portfolio as the former Central loans renew and the discount is accreted.
For purchased credit impaired loans the difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the expected remaining life of the loan if the timing and amount of the future cash flows are reasonably estimable. This discount includes an adjustment

on loans that are not accruing or paying contractual interest so that interest income will be recognized at the estimated current market rate.
Subsequent to the purchase date, increases in cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized as interest income prospectively.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
The reclassifications from non-accretable differenceCompany uses derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to economic risks. Certain hedging relationships are formally designated and qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP as fair value or cash flow hedges.
Fair Value Hedges - Derivatives are designated as fair value hedges to limit the Company's exposure to changes in the fair value of assets or liabilities due to increasesmovements in estimatedinterest rates. The Company entered into pay-fixed receive-floating interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value in certain fixed-rate assets, including AFS debt securities and loans. The gain or loss on the loan fair value hedge derivative, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income. The change in the fair value of the available for sale securities attributable to changes in the hedged risk is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest income, as applicable, in the same period(s) to offset the changes in the fair value of the swap, which is also recognized in interest income.
Cash Flow Hedges - Derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges in order to minimize the variability in cash flows of earning assets or forecasted transactions caused by movement in interest rates. The Company entered into pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps to hedge against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on the Company's variable rate debt, including brokered deposits. The gain or loss on the derivatives is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense, as applicable, in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $1.6 million of income will be reclassified into interest expense.

TheBank is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, and ownership of FHLB stock is a requirement for such membership. The amount of FHLB stock the Bank is required to hold is directly related to the amount of FHLB advances borrowed. Because this security is not readily marketable and there are no available market values, this security is carried at cost and evaluated for potential impairment each quarter. Redemption of this investment is at the option of the FHLB. No impairment was recorded on FHLB stock in 2017 or 2016.
As part of the Central merger, the Company became a party to certain loss-share agreements with the FDIC from previous Central-related acquisitions. These agreements cover realized losses on loans and foreclosed real estate for specified periods. These loss-share assets are measured separately from the loan portfolios because they are not contractually embedded in the loans and are not transferable with the loans should the Company choose to dispose of them. Fair values at the acquisition dates were estimated based on projected cash flows available for loss-share based on the credit adjustments estimated for each loan. The loss-share assets are recorded within other assets on the balance sheet. On July 14, 2017, the Bank entered into an agreement with the FDIC that terminated all of the Bank's loss sharing agreements related to the former Central Bank.
Mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value based on assumptions provided by a third-party valuation service. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the servicing cost per loan, the discount rate, the escrow float rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.

Note 8. | Loans Serviced for Others |
Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts, disbursing payments to investors and collection and foreclosure processing. Loan servicing income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes servicing fees from investors and certain charges collected from borrowers, such as late payment fees, and is net of fair value adjustments to capitalized mortgage servicing rights.

(2) Central Bancshares Capital Trust II was established by Central and Barron Investment Capital Trust I was acquired by Central prior to the Company’s merger with Central, and the obligations under the junior subordinated notes issued by Central to these trusts were assumed by the Company.
The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the junior subordinated notes at the stated maturity date or upon redemption of the junior subordinated notes. Each trust’s ability to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon the Company making payment on the related junior subordinated notes. The Company’s obligation under the junior subordinated notes and other relevant trust agreements, in aggregate, constitutes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of each trust’s obligations under the trust preferred securities issued by each trust. The Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the junior subordinated notes and, therefore, distributions on the trust preferred securities, for up to five years, but not beyond the stated maturity date in the table above. During any such deferral period the Company may not pay cash dividends on its stock and generally may not repurchase its stock.

The Tax Act was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act has a significant impact on the U.S. corporate income tax regime by lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 in addition to implementing numerous other changes. GAAP requires that the impact of tax legislation be recognized in the period in which the law was enacted.
As a result of the Tax Act, the Company remeasured its deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities during the fourth quarter of 2017, resulting in additional income tax expense of $3.2 million.
In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which provides guidance regarding how a company is to reflect provisional amounts when necessary information is not yet available, prepared or analyzed sufficiently to complete its accounting for the effect of the changes in the Tax Act. The income tax expense of $3.2 million recorded during the fourth quarter of 2017 represents all known and estimable impacts of the Tax Act and is a provisional amount based on the Company’s current best estimate. This provisional amount incorporates assumptions made based upon the Company’s current interpretations of the Tax Act and may change as the Company receives additional clarification and implementation guidance, and as data becomes available allowing for a more accurate scheduling of the deferred tax assets and liabilities, including those related to items potentially impacted by the Tax Act such as fixed assets and employee compensation. Adjustments to this provisional amount through December 22, 2018 will be included in income from operations as an adjustment to tax expense in future periods.
The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset for the future tax benefits of Iowa net operating loss carryforwards. The Iowa net operating loss carryforwards amounting to approximately $51.2$74.1 million will expire in various amounts from 20182024 to 2038.2044. As of December 31, 20172023 and 2016,2022, the Company believed it was more likely than not that all temporary differences associated with the Iowa corporate tax return would not be fully realized. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the net operating loss carryforward.carryforward and the temporary differences associated with the Iowa corporate income tax return. A valuation allowance related to the remaining deferred tax assets has not been provided because management believes it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets.
The Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 20172023 and 2016.December 31, 2022.

Value Information:
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates for the expected term of the Company’s stock options. The expected volatility input into the model takes into account the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the period that it has been publicly traded or the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield assumption is based upon the Company’s historical dividend payout determined at the date of grant, if any.
Restricted Stock Units:
Under the2023 Plan, the Company may grant restricted stock unit awards that vest upon the completion of future service requirements or specified performance criteria. The fair value of these awardsGenerally, all restricted stock units vest upon death, disability, or in connection with a change in control. In addition, both TRSUs and PRSUs receive forfeitable dividend equivalents. To the extent there is equala financial restatement, any performance-based or incentive-based compensation that has been paid is subject to clawback.
For TRSUs granted prior to 2020, the market pricerestricted stock units vest 25% per year over four years. Beginning with the TRSUs granted in 2020, each restricted stock unit award now vests 1/3rd per year over 3 years, with the first vesting date being the one-year anniversary of the common stockgrant date. Awards granted to directors vest 100% one year from the grant date.
The PRSUs cliff vest 3 years from the grant date based on certain performance conditions, which are weighted equally. The three-year performance measurement period commences at the datebeginning of the grant. defined period. Upon retirement, PRSU awards remain eligible to vest at the conclusion of the performance period.
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for these awardsTRSUs over the vesting period, using the straight-line method, based upon the number of awards ultimately expected to vest. Each restricted stock unit entitles the recipient to receive one share of stock on the vesting date.

Note 17. | Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions on Subsidiary Cash |
Regulatory Capital and Reserve Requirement:The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’sCompany's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classificationsclassification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by the regulations in effect on December 31, 2015, to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total, Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to average assets (as defined in the regulations). Management believed, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.
As of December 31, 2017, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action then in effect. To be categorized as well capitalized under those requirements, an institution had to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. Notwithstanding its compliance with the specified regulatory thresholds, however, the Bank’s board of
MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
directors, subsequent to December 31, 2008, adopted a capital policy pursuant to which it will maintain a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 8% or greater, which ratio is greater than the ratio required to be well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. This capital policy also provides that the Bank will maintain a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of at least 10%, which is equal to the threshold for being well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, crops, livestock, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.
Commitments to sell loans are agreements to sell loans held for sale to third parties at an agreed upon price.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and, generally, have terms of one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral, which may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, equipment and income-producing properties, that support those commitments, if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Bank would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Bank could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the summary above. If the commitment is funded, the Bank would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer.
Liability for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Losses: The Company records a liability for off-balance sheet credit losses through a charge to credit loss expense (or a reversal of credit loss expense) on the Company's consolidated statements of income and other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2017 and 2016,2023, the liability for off-balance-sheet credit losses totaled $4.6 million, whereas the total amount of the liability as of December 31, 2022 was $4.8 million.

Note 20. | Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements |
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received in sellingfor an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in transferring athe principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair valueparticipants on the measurement assumesdate. There are three levels of inputs that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) marketmay be used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability is not adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (1) independent, (2) knowledgeable, (3) able to transact and (4) willing to transact.values:
GAAP requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
•Level 1 Inputs– Unadjusted quotedQuoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access atas of the measurement date.
•Level 2 Inputs– InputsSignificant other observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might includeprices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputsor other than quoted pricesinputs that are observable for the asset (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’sa company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company uses fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily available for sale debt securities, derivatives and mortgage servicing rights. For assets measured at the assetslower of cost or liabilities.
It isfair value, the Company’s policy to maximizefair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period, and such measurements are therefore considered "nonrecurring" for purposes of disclosing the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developingCompany's fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for collateral dependent individually analyzed loans and foreclosed assets.
Recurring Basis
The Company is requiredused the following methods and significant assumptions to use observable inputs, to the extent available, inestimate the fair value estimation process unless that data results from forced liquidations or distressed sales. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured ateach type of financial instrument:
Investment Securities - The fair value as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Securities Available for Sale - The Company’s investment securities classified asare determined by quoted market prices, if available for sale include: debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government agencies and corporations, debt securities issued by state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate debt securities, and equity securities. Quoted exchange prices are available for equity securities, which are classified as Level 1.(Level 1). The Company utilizes an independent pricing service to obtain the fair value of debt securities. On a quarterly basis, the Company selects a sample of 30 securities from its primary pricing service and compares them to a secondary independent pricing service to validate value. In addition, the Company periodically reviews the pricing methodology utilized by the primary independent service for reasonableness. Debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government agencies and corporations, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backedcollateralized mortgage obligations are priced utilizing industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace and are classified as Level 2.(Level 2). Municipal securities are valued using a type of matrix, or grid, pricing in which securities are benchmarked against the treasury rate based on credit rating. These model and matrix measurementsrating (Level 2).
Derivatives - Interest rate swaps are classified as Level 2valued by using cash flow valuation techniques with observable market data inputs (Level 2). The Company has entered into collateral agreements with its swap dealers which entitle it to receive collateral to cover market values on derivatives which are in asset position, thus a credit risk adjustment on interest rate swaps is not warranted. RPAs are entered into by the Company with institutional counterparties, under which the Company assumes its pro-rata share of the credit exposure associated with a borrower’s performance related to interest rate derivative contracts. The fair value hierarchy. On an annual basis, a groupof

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
RPAs is calculated by determining the total expected asset or liability exposure using observable inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities, of the derivatives to the borrowers and applying the borrowers’ credit spread to that exposure (Level 2). The fair values of the interest rate lock commitments and interest rate forward loan sales contracts are estimated using quoted or published market prices for similar instruments, adjusted for factors such as pull-through rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate. The pull-through rate assumptions are considered Level 3 valuation inputs and are significant to the interest rate lock commitments valuation; as such, the interest rate lock commitments are classified as Level 3.
Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR) - MSRs are recorded at fair value based on assumptions through a third-party valuation service. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that are observable in the marketplace and that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as servicing cost per loan, the discount rate, the escrow float rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses (Level 2).
The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 20172023 and 2016. There were no liabilities subject to fair value measurement on a recurring basis as of these dates. The assets are segregatedDecember 31, 2022 by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:hierarchy:

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
Collateral Dependent Impaired Loans - From time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for credit losses is established. The specific reserves for collateral dependent impaired loans are based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of collateral is determined based on appraisals. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values due to various factors, including age of the appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. Because many of these inputs are unobservable, the valuations are classified as Level 3.
MIDWESTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) - OREO represents property acquired through foreclosures and settlements of loans. Property acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. The Company considers third party appraisals as well as independent fair value assessments from real estate brokers or persons involved in selling OREO in determining the fair value of particular properties. Accordingly, the valuation of OREO is subject to significant external and internal judgment. The Company also periodically reviews OREO to determine whether the property continues to be carried at the lower of its recorded book value or fair value of the property, less disposal costs. Because many of these inputs are unobservable, the valuations are classified as Level 3.
The following table discloses the Company’s estimated fair value amounts of its assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. It is management’s belief that the fair values presented below are reasonable based on the valuation techniques and data available to the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, as more fully described above.

Cash and cash equivalents, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and accrued interest are instruments with carrying values that approximate fair value.
Investment securities available for sale are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Held to maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Fair value is based upon quoted prices, if available. If a quoted price is not available, the fair value is obtained from benchmarking the security against similar securities by using a third-party pricing service.
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, with fair value being based on recent observable loan sales. The portfolio has historically consisted primarily of residential real estate loans.
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans are determined using estimated future cash flows, discounted at the interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. The Company does record nonrecurring fair value adjustments to loans to reflect (1) partial write-downs and allowances that are based on the observable market price or appraised value of the collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value.
The fair value of FHLB stock is estimated at its carrying value and redemption price of $100 per share.
Deposit liabilities are carried at historical cost. The fair value of non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings accounts and certain interest-bearing checking deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. If the fair value of the fixed maturity certificates of deposit is calculated at less than the carrying amount, the carrying value of these deposits is reported as the fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Loans Held for Investment, Net - The estimated fair value of loans, net, was performed using the income approach, with the market approach used for certain nonperforming loans, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification.
FHLB stock - Investments in FHLB stock are recorded at cost and measured for impairment quarterly. Ownership of FHLB stock is restricted to member banks and the securities do not have a readily determinable market value. Purchases and sales of these securities are at par value with the issuer. The fair value of investments in FHLB stock is equal to the carrying amount.
Deposits - Deposits are carried at historical cost. The fair values of deposits with no stated maturity (defined as noninterest-bearing demand, interest checking, money market, and savings accounts) are equal to the amount payable on demand as of the balance sheet date and considered Level 1. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows and considered Level 2. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
FHLB Borrowings - Borrowings are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of FHLB borrowings is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the maturity dates or call dates, if applicable, using estimated market discount rates that reflect current rates offered for borrowings with similar remaining maturities and characteristics and are considered Level 2.
Junior Subordinated Notes Issued to Capital Trusts - Junior subordinated notes issued to capital trusts are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of these junior subordinated notes with variable rates is determined using a market discount rate on the expected cash flows and are considered Level 2.
Subordinated Debentures - Subordinated debentures are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of subordinated debentures is based on discounted cash flows on current borrowing rates being offered for similar subordinated debenture deals and considered Level 2.

Note 21. Revenue Recognition
Substantially all of the participation interestsCompany’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in the poolsscope of loans ownedTopic 606. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.
Trust and serviced by States Resources Corporation (“SRC”)Asset Management
Trust and asset management income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time, and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Optional services such as real estate property management and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., a third-party loan servicing organization located in Omaha, Nebraska,as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.
Fees, Exchange, and Other Service Charges
Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company participated. SRC's owner heldcardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service,

cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the remaining interest.services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.
Gains/Losses on Sales of Foreclosed Assets
Gain or loss from the sale of foreclosed assets occurs when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of foreclosed assets to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the foreclosed assets are derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present.
Other
Other noninterest income consists of other recurring revenue streams such as safe deposit box rental fees, and other miscellaneous revenue streams. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that since rentals and renewals occur fairly consistently over time, revenue is recognized on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation.
Contract Balances
A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any ownership interest in or exert any control over SRC,significant contract balances.
Contract Acquisition Costs
In connection with the adoption of Topic 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and thussubsequently amortize into expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it waswould not included inhave incurred if the consolidated financial statements.contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company exited this lineutilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. Upon adoption of business in June 2015.
These pools of loans were purchased from large nonaffiliated banking organizations and from the FDIC acting as receiver of failed banks and savings associations. As loan pools were put out for bid (generally in a sealed bid auction), SRC’s due diligence teams evaluated the loans and determined their interest in bidding on the pool. After the due diligence, the Company’s management reviewed the status and decided if it wished to continue in the process. If the decision to consider a bid was made, SRC conducted additional analysis to determine the appropriate bid price. This analysis involved discounting loan cash flows with adjustments made for expected losses, changes in collateral values as well as targeted rates of return. A cost or investment basis was assigned to each individual loan on a cents-per-dollar (discounted price) basis based on SRC’s assessment of the recovery potential of each loan.
Once a bid was awarded to SRC,Topic 606, the Company assumeddid not capitalize any contract acquisition cost.

The Company’s lease commitments consist primarily of real estate property for banking offices and office space with terms extending through 2030.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer, and Interim Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) 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 SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Interim Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, and Interim Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2017.2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 20172023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effectiveadequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control is designedreporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation of reliable published financial statements. Internal control over financial reporting includes self-monitoring mechanisms and actions are takentaking action to correct deficiencies as they are identified.
Because of inherent limitations in any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected, including the possibility of the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time.
Management assessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017.2023. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.Commission in 2013. Based on this assessment, the Chief Executive Officer, and Interim Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer, assert that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20172023 based on the specified criteria.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2023, has been audited by RSM US LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also has audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.

Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in the accompanying Management’s Annual ReportAssessment on Internal ControlsControl over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’scompany's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’scompany's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’scompany's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
