In this annual report, the terms "we," "our," "ours," "us," "FB Financial," and "the Company" refer to FB Financial Corporation, a Tennessee corporation, and our consolidated banking subsidiary, FirstBank, a Tennessee state chartered bank, unless the context indicates that we refer only to the parent company, FB Financial Corporation. The terms "FirstBank" or "the Bank" refer to our wholly owned subsidiary and Tennessee banking corporation.
FB Financial Corporation is a bank holding company, headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. Our
wholly-ownedwholly owned bank subsidiary, FirstBank, is the third largest Tennessee-headquartered bank, based on total assets. FirstBank provides a comprehensive suite of commercial and consumer banking services to clients in select markets primarily in Tennessee, North Alabama and North Georgia.
OurAs of December 31, 2019, our footprint
includes 56included 68 full-service bank branches and
9eight other banking locations serving the metropolitan markets of Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis,
Tennessee and Jackson and Huntsville,
(AL)Alabama in addition to 12 community markets.
FirstBankOn February 14, 2020, we closed on our acquisition of FNB Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Farmers National Bank of Scottsville, adding five full service banking locations and expanding our footprint into Kentucky. The Company also provides mortgage banking services utilizing its bank branch network and mortgage banking offices strategically located throughout the southeastern United States in addition to its national internet delivery channel. As of December 31,
2017,2019, we had total assets of
$4.73$6.12 billion, loans held for investment of
$3.17$4.41 billion, total deposits of
$3.66$4.93 billion, and total shareholders’ equity of
$596.7$762.3 million.
Throughout our history, we have steadfastly maintained a community banking approach of personalized relationship-based
service.service, which is delivered locally through experienced bankers in each market. As we have grown, maintaining this relationship-based approach utilizing local, talented and experienced bankers in each market has been an integral component of our success. Our bankers utilize their local knowledge and relationships to deliver timely solutions to our clients. We empower these bankers by giving them local decision making authority supplemented by appropriate risk oversight. In our experience, business owners and operators prefer to deal with decision makers, and our banking model is built to place the decision maker as close to the client as possible. We have designed our operations, technology, and centralized risk oversight processes to specifically support our operating model. We deploy this operating model universally in each of our markets, regardless of size. We believe we have a competitive advantage in our markets versus both smaller community banks and larger regional and national banks. Our robust offering of products, services and capabilities differentiate us from community banks and our significant local market knowledge, client service level and the speed with which we are able to make decisions and deliver our services to customers differentiate us from larger regional and national banks.
We seek to leverage our operating model by focusing on profitable growth opportunities across our footprint, focused primarily on both high-growth metropolitan markets and stable and growing community markets. As a result, we are able to strategically deploy our capital across our markets to take advantage of those opportunities that we believe provide the greatest certainty of profitable growth and the highest returns.
Our operating model is executed by a talented management team lead by our Chief Executive Officer, Christopher T. Holmes. Mr. Holmes, a
26-year28-year banking veteran originally from Lexington, Tennessee, joined the Bank in 2010 as Chief Banking Officer and was elected Chief Executive Officer
and President in 2013. Mr. Holmes has an extensive background in both metropolitan and community banking gained from his time at community banks and larger public financial institutions. Mr. Holmes has assembled a highly effective management team, blending members that have a long history with FirstBank and members that have significant banking experience at other in-market banks.
Originally chartered in 1906, we are one of the longest continually operating banks in Tennessee. While our deep community roots go back over 100 years, our growth trajectory changed in 1984 when Tennessee businessman James W. Ayers, our Executive Chairman,
and controlling shareholder, acquired Farmers State Bank with an associate. In 1988, we purchased the assets of First National Bank of Lexington, Tennessee and changed our name to FirstBank, forming the foundation of our current franchise. In 1990, Mr. Ayers became our sole shareholder and remained our sole shareholder until our initial public offering in September 2016. Under Mr. Ayers’ ownership, we grew from a community bank with only $14 million in assets in 1984 to the third largest bank headquartered in Tennessee, based on total
assets.assets of $6.12 billion at December 31, 2019.
From 1984 to 2001, we operated as a community bank growing organically and through small acquisitions in community markets in West Tennessee. In 2001, our strategy evolved from serving purely community markets to include a modest presence in metropolitan markets, expanding our reach and enhancing our growth. We entered Nashville and Memphis in 2001 by opening a branch in each of those markets. In 2004 and 2008, we opened our first branches in Knoxville and Chattanooga, respectively. Although we experienced some growth in each metropolitan market, it did not become a major
strategic focus until we implemented our current metropolitan growth strategy in the Nashville metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”) in 2012. The successful implementation of this strategy has resulted in 949.6% deposit growth in the Nashville MSA from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2019, making it our largest market with 54% of our total deposits. Additionally, we expanded into the Huntsville, Alabama MSA in 2014 by opening a branch in Huntsville and loan production office in Florence, Alabama. The successful implementation of this strategy has resultedAlabama, which was converted to a full service branch in 155% deposit growth in the Nashville MSA from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2017, making it our largest market with 29% of our loans held for investment and 23% of our total deposits, as of December 31, 2017.2019. As a result of this evolution and recent acquisitions discussed above,below, we now operate a balanced business model that serves a diverse customer base in both metropolitan and community markets.

Our core client profile across our footprint includes small businesses, corporate clients, commercial real estate owners and consumers. We target business clients with substantial operating history that have annual revenues of up to $250 million. Our typical business client would keep business deposit accounts with us, and we would look to provide banking services to the owners and employees of the business as well. We also have an active consumer lending business that includes deposit products, mortgages, home equity lines and small consumer finance loans. We continuously strive to build deeper relationships by actively cross-selling incremental products to meet the banking needs of our clients.
The following tables show our deposit market share ranking among all banks and community banks (which we define as banks with less than $25 billion in assets) in Tennessee as of June 30, 2017 (the most recent date where such information is publicly available). Of the 10 largest banks in the state based on total deposits, 6 are national or regional banks, which we believe provides us with significant opportunities to gain market share from these banks.

Our six metropolitan markets.
We currently operate in the six metropolitan markets listed below.
Nashville is the largest MSA in Tennessee, our largest market and one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. Nashville has experienced 14.7% population growth from 2010 to 2018, and its population is expected to grow by an additional 6.9% by 2023 according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Memphis is the 2nd largest MSA in Tennessee. It has a diversified business base and the busiest cargo airport in North America. Memphis is headquarters to three Fortune 500 companies, AutoZone, International Paper and FedEx, which together employs over 30,000 people in Memphis.
Knoxville is the 3rd largest MSA in Tennessee. It is home to the University of Tennessee system’s flagship campus, and employs over 30,000 healthcare professionals. Our recent acquisition of the Clayton Banks has helped strengthen our presence in the attractive Knoxville MSA.
Chattanooga is the 4th largest MSA in Tennessee. It has a diverse economy with over 20,000 businesses that employ over 260,000 people and generate an estimated $45 billion in annual sales. Chattanooga has experienced population growth of 5.5% between 2010 and 2018 and is expected to experience 4% population growth by 2023 according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Jackson is the 6th largest MSA in Tennessee and is the 2nd largest city in West Tennessee following Memphis. Jackson has developed into a leading industrial and distribution center in the state of Tennessee, with particular strength in manufacturing.
Huntsville is the 2nd largest MSA in Alabama and has one of the strongest technology and engineering economies in the nation, with the highest concentration of engineers in the nation and the 6th largest county by military spending in the country.
Our community markets.
We are a leading bank in many of the Tennessee community markets that we serve. These community markets continue to offer us opportunities to profitably grow our market share. The table below shows our presence, as of June 30, 2017, in the six community markets where we have the largest amount of deposits. In total, we have over $1.2 billion in deposits in our community markets.

Market characteristics and mix.
Metropolitan markets. Our metropolitan markets are generally characterized by attractive demographics and strong economies and offer substantial opportunity for future growth. We compete in these markets with national and regional banks that currently have the largest market share positions and with community banks primarily focused only on a particular geographic area or business niche. We believe we are well positioned to grow our market penetration among our target clients of small to medium sized businesses as well as large corporate businesses and the consumer base working and living in these metropolitan markets. In our experience, such clients demand the product sophistication of a larger bank, but prefer the customer service, relationship focus and local connectivity of a community bank. We believe that our size, product suite and operating model offer us a competitive advantage in these markets versus our smaller competitors, many of which are focused only on specific counties or industries. Our operating model driven by local talent with strong community ties and local authority serves as a key competitive advantage over our larger competitors. We believe that, as a result, we are well positioned to leverage our existing franchise to expand our market share in our metropolitan markets. Community markets. Our community markets tend to be more stable throughout various economic cycles, with primarily retail and small business customer opportunities and more limited competition. We believe this leads to an attractive profitability profile and smaller ticket, more granular loan and deposit portfolios. Our community markets are standalone markets and not suburbs of larger markets. We primarily compete in these markets with community banks that generally have less than $1 billion in total assets. Our strategy is to compete against these smaller community banks by providing a broader and more sophisticated set of products and capabilities while still maintaining our local service model. We believe these markets are being
deemphasized by national and regional banks which provides us with opportunities to hire talented bankers in these communities and gainmaintain or grow market share in these community markets.
Our core client profile across our footprint includes small businesses, corporate clients and owners, and investors of commercial real estate. We target business clients with substantial operating history that have annual revenues of up to $250 million. Our typical business client would keep business deposit accounts with us, and we would look to provide banking services to the owners and employees of the business as well. We also have an active consumer lending business that includes deposit products, mortgages, home equity lines and small consumer finance loans. We continuously strive to build deeper relationships by actively cross-selling incremental products to meet the banking needs of our clients.
The following tables show our deposit market share ranking among all banks and community banks (which we define as banks with less than $30 billion in assets) in Tennessee as of June 30, 2019 (the most recent date where such information is publicly available). Of the 10 largest banks in the state based on total deposits, five are national or regional banks, which we believe provides us with significant opportunities to gain market share from these banks.

Our competitive strengths
We believe the following strengths provide us with competitive advantages over other banks in our markets and provide us with the necessary foundation to successfully execute our growth strategies.
Depth and experience of senior management team. We have a deep and experienced senior management team led by our chief executive officer, Christopher Holmes, and chief financial officer, James Gordon. The team, as evidenced by the leaders of our Banking and Mortgage Segments, combines long histories at FirstBank with significant market and industry knowledge gained from employment with other successful banks.
In addition to our senior management team, our market leaders have an average tenure of more than 11 years with us. We believe that we also have depth in our overall management in lending, credit administration, finance, operations and information technology.
Strong growth coupled with profitability. We have delivered attractive growth and returns since the implementation of our strategic plan designed to leverage our competitive advantages in both metropolitan and community markets in 2012. Our execution of the plan has delivered strong growth, primarily from our Nashville metropolitan strategy and mortgage expansion, coupled with positive returns from our legacy community markets.
Ability to recruit and retain talented people. The success of our operating model, which depends on local knowledge and decision making, is directly related to our ability to attract and retain talented bankers in each of our markets. We strive to attract and retain these bankers by fostering an entrepreneurial environment, empowering them with local authority and providing them with sufficient infrastructure and resources to support their growth while also providing management with appropriate oversight. We believe that our family culture built around respect, teamwork and empowerment makes us attractive for talented bankers and associates across our geographic footprint. We pride ourselves on being a great place to work, which is evidenced by our recognition as a Top Workplace for 2017 by The Tennessean, Nashville’s principal newspaper. In the Nashville market alone, we have added 22 new bankers since 2012, including the current President of our Middle and East Tennessee region, Allen Oakley, a 35-year banking veteran.
Scalable, decentralized operating model. We operate each of our markets as individual markets, with an experienced market leader in charge of each market. Each of our market leaders and bankers is empowered to make local decisions up to specified limits approved by the Bank’s board of directors and our senior management team based on experience and track record. We believe that the delivery by our bankers of in-market client decisions, coupled with strong, centralized risk and credit support, allows us to best serve our clients. This operating model has been proven successful in our existing markets, and we believe it is highly replicable and scalable. We have a robust infrastructure bolstered by our conversion to a new core processing system in the second quarter of 2016 that can support our model as we grow in existing and new markets either organically or through opportunistic acquisitions.
Disciplined and deliberate risk management. Risk management is a cornerstone of our culture and is emphasized throughout every area of the organization. Our decentralized operating model is balanced by individual lending authorities based on demonstrated experience and expertise. Larger credit decisions involve credit officers and/or senior management. We have invested in technology to monitor compliance of credits with our policies. We strive for a balanced loan portfolio taking into consideration borrower and industry concentrations. Our risk management strategy also includes rigorous systems and processes to monitor liquidity, interest rate, operations and compliance risk.
Proven acquirer. We have a strong record of adding value through acquisitions and have completed nine bank and three mortgage related acquisitions under our current ownership. Our key operational associates have integration experience with FirstBank and other institutions. We are a disciplined acquirer focused on opportunities that meet our internal return targets, maintain or enhance our earnings per share and add to our strong core deposit franchise. Our long-term personal relationships with many of the bank owners and CEOs in our markets lead to a natural dialogue when they choose to explore a sale of their company. Additionally, we believe that our size and ability to operate effectively in both community and metropolitan markets make us an attractive option to smaller banks seeking an acquirer.
Our business strategy
Our overall business strategy is comprised of the following core strategies.
Enhance market penetration in metropolitan markets. In recent years, we have successfully grown our franchise in the Nashville MSA by executing our metropolitancommunity bank growth strategy. The strategy is centered on the following: recruiting the best bankers and empowering them with local authority; developing branch density; building brand awareness and growing our business and consumer banking presence; and expanding our product offering and capabilities. These strategies coupled with our personalized, relationship-based client service have contributed significantly to our success. Additionally, we believe that our scale, resources and sophisticated range of products provides us with a competitive advantage over the smaller community banks in the Nashville MSA and our other MSAs. As a result of these competitive advantages and growth strategies, the Nashville MSA has become our largest market. With approximately a 1.9%6.9% market share, based on pro forma deposits as of June 30, 2017,2019 for our pending acquisition of Franklin, we are still in the early stage of executing our Nashville growth strategy and intend to continue to efficiently increase our market penetration. penetration through organic growth and acquisitions including Farmers National Bank and Franklin. Based on market and competitive similarities, we believe our growth strategies are transferable to our other metropolitan markets. We implemented these strategies with
an initiala focus on the Chattanooga
MSA.and Knoxville MSAs. Our
acquisitionacquisitions of Northwest Georgia Bank,
hasthe Clayton Banks, and the branches from Atlantic Capital Bank have accelerated our growth and profitability in
the Chattanooga and
our acquisition of the Clayton Banks has begunKnoxville MSAs, and we have continued to
show the same results on a larger scalebuild momentum in
the Knoxville MSA.these markets.
Pursue opportunistic acquisitions. While most of our growth has been organic, we have completed nine11 acquisitions under our current ownership, including our recent acquisition of the Clayton Banks.and have recently entered into a merger agreement with Franklin Synergy Bank. We pursue acquisition opportunities that meet our internal return targets, maintain or enhance our earnings per share, enhance market penetration, and possess strong core deposits.deposits while minimizing tangible book value. We believe that numerous small to mid-sized banks or branch networks will be available for acquisition in metropolitan and community markets throughout Tennessee as well as in attractive contiguous markets in the coming years due to industry trends, such as scale and operational challenges, regulatory pressure, management succession issues and shareholder liquidity needs. In Tennessee alone, there are approximately 130126 banks with total assets of less than $1$2 billion, and in the contiguous states of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, there are over 500475 banks under $1$2 billion in assets. We believe that we are positioned as a natural consolidator because of our financial strength, reputation and operating model. Improve efficiency by leveraging technology and consolidating operations. We have invested significantly in our bankers, infrastructure and technology in recent years, including our conversion to a new core processing system in the second quarter of 2016, which we believe has created a scalable platform that will support future growth across all of our markets. Our bankers and branches, especially in the Nashville MSA,metropolitan markets, continue to scale in size, and we believe there is capacity to grow our business without adding significantly to our branch network. We plan to continue to invest, as needed, in our technology and business infrastructure to support our future growth and increase operating efficiencies. We intend to leverage these investments to consolidate and centralize our operations and support functions while protecting our decentralized client service model.
Seize opportunities to expand noninterest income. While our primary focus is on capturing opportunities in our core banking business, we have successfully seized opportunities to grow our noninterest income by providing our people with the flexibility to take advantage of market opportunities. As part of our strategic focus to grow our noninterest income, we have significantly expandedrestructured our mortgage business by hiring experienced loan officers, implementingoperations in 2019, resulting in the sale of our wholesale delivery channels and maximizing
profitability in our retail and Consumer Direct internet delivery
channel in 2014 along with expanding our third party origination business via our correspondent channel in 2016. This has allowed us to continue offering our mortgage clients the personalized attention that is the
cornerstone of our Bank.channel. We have also successfully expanded our fee-based businesses to include more robust treasury management, trust and investment services.services and capital markets. We intend to continue emphasizing these business lines, which we believe will serve as strong customer acquisition channels and provide us with a range of cross-selling opportunities, while making our business stronger and more profitable.
We operate our business in two business segments: Banking and Mortgage. See Note
21,19, “Segment Reporting,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for a description of these business segments.
While we operate through two segments, Banking and Mortgage, Banking has been, and is, the cornerstone of our operations and underlying philosophy since our beginnings in 1906. As the third largest
Tennessee headquarteredTennessee-headquartered bank, we are dedicated to serving the banking needs of businesses, professionals and individuals in our metropolitan and community markets through our community banking approach of personalized, relationship-based service. We strive to become trusted advisers to our clients and achieve long-term relationships. We deliver a wide range of banking products and services tailored to meet the needs of our clients across our footprint.
Through the Bank, we offer a broad range of lending products to our targeted clients, which includes businesses
generally with up to $250 million in annual revenues, business owners, real estate investors and consumers. Our commercial lending products include working capital lines of credit, equipment loans, owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied real estate construction loans, “mini-perm” real estate term loans, and cash flow loans to a diversified mix of clients, including small and medium sized businesses. Our consumer lending products include first and second residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit and consumer installment loans to purchase cars, boats and other recreational vehicles. At December 31,
2017,2019, we had loans held for investment of
$3.17$4.41 billion. Throughout the following discussion of our banking services, we present our loan information
as loans excluding loans held for
sale.sale arising from our mortgage operations.
Our strategy is to grow our loan portfolio by originating commercial and consumer loans that produce revenues consistent with our financial objectives. Through our operating model and strategies, we seek to be the leading provider of lending products and services in our market areas to our clients. We market our lending products and services to our clients through our personalized service. As a general practice, we originate substantially all of our loans, but we occasionally participate in syndications, limiting participations to loans originated by lead banks with which we have a close relationship and which share our credit philosophies.
We also actively pursue and maintain a balanced loan portfolio by type, size and location. Our loans are generally secured and supported by personal guarantees.
Loan portfolio mix as of December 31, 2017
Commercial and industrial loans. Our commercial and industrial loans are typically made to small-small and medium-sizedmedium sized manufacturing, wholesale, retail and service businesses for working capital and operational needs and business expansions, including the purchase of capital equipment.equipment and loans made to farmers related to their operations. This category also includes loans secured by manufactured housing assets and receivables. Commercial and industrial loans generally include lines of credit and loans with maturities of five years or less. Because we are a community bank with long standing ties to the businesses and professionals operating in our market areas, we are able to tailor our commercial and industrial loan programs to meet the needs of our clients. We target high-quality businesses in our markets with a proven track record and up to $250 million in annual revenues. As of December 31, 2017,2019, we had outstanding commercial and industrial loans of $715.1$1,034.0 million, or 23% of our loan portfolio. Growing our commercial and industrial loan portfolio is an important area of emphasis for us, and we intend to continue to grow this portfolio. Commercial and industrial loans are generally made with operating cash flows as the primary source of repayment, but may also include collateralization by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and personal guarantees. As a result, the repayment risk is subject to the ongoing business operations of the borrower. Any interruption or discontinuance of operating cash flows from the business, which may be influenced by events not under the control of the borrower such as economic events and changes in governmental regulations, could materially affect the ability of the borrower to repay the loan. Further, commercial and industrial loans may be secured by the collateral described above, which if the business is unsuccessful, typically have values insufficient to satisfy the loan without a loss.
Commercial real estate loans. Our commercial real estate loans consist of both owner-occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans. The total amount of commercial real estate loans outstanding as of December 31, 20172019 was $1,047.5$1,551.0 million, or 33%35% of our loan portfolio. The real estate securing our existing commercial real estate loans includes a wide variety of property types, such as offices, warehouses, production facilities, health care facilities, hotels, mixed-use residential/commercial, retail centers, restaurants, churches, assisted living facilities and agricultural based facilities. As ofDecember 31, 2017, $495.92019, $630.3 million of our commercial real estate loan portfolio, or 16%14% of our loan portfolio, was owner-occupiedowner-occupied commercial real estate loans, and $551.6$920.7 million of our commercial real estate loan portfolio, or 17%21% of our loan portfolio, was non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans. We are primarily focused on growing the owner-occupied portion of our commercial real estate loan portfolio.
With respect to our owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, we target local companies with a proven operating history that tend to be business-operators and professionals within our markets. Owner-occupied real estate loans are typically repaid through the ongoing business operations of the borrower, and hence are dependent on the success of the underlying business for repayment and are more exposed to general economic conditions.
With respect to our non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, we target experienced, local real estate developers and investors with whom our bankers have long-standing relationships. Our non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans also tend to involve retail, hotel, office, warehouse, industrial, healthcare, assisted living and mix-used properties. Non-owner occupied real estate loans are typically repaid with the funds received from the sale of the completed property or rental proceeds from such property, and are therefore more sensitive to adverse conditions in the real estate market, which can also be affected by general economic conditions.
Commercial real estate loans are often larger and involve greater risks than other types of lending. Adverse developments affecting commercial real estate values in our market areas could increase the credit risk associated with these loans, impair the value of property pledged as collateral for these loans, and affect our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure without a loss. Furthermore, adverse developments affecting the business operations of the borrowers of our owner-occupied commercial real estate loans could significantly increase the credit risk associated with these loans. Due to the larger average size of commercial real estate loans, we face the risk that losses incurred on a small number of commercial real estate loans could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Residential real estate loans. Our residential real estate loans consist of 1-4 family loans, home equity loans and multi-family loans. The residential real estate loans described below exclude mortgage loans thatare held for sale. As of December 31, 2017,2019, the total amount of residential real estate loans outstanding was $738.3$1,001.4 million, or 23%of our loan portfolio. Our 1-4 family mortgage loans are primarily made with respect to and secured by single family homes,
which are bothincluding owner-occupied
and investor owned.manufactured homes with real estate. We seek to make our 1-4 family mortgage loans to well-qualified homeowners and investors with a proven track record that satisfy our credit and underwriting standards. As of December 31, 2017,2019, our 1-4 family mortgage loans comprised $481.0$710.5 million, or 15%16%, of loans.Our home equity loans are primarily revolving, open-end lines of credit secured by 1-4 family residential properties. We seek to make our home equity loans to well-qualified
borrowers that satisfy our credit and underwriting standards. Our home equity loans as of December 31, 20172019 comprised $195.0$221.5 million, or 6%5%, of loans.
Our multi-family residential loans are primarily secured by multi-family properties, primarily apartment and condominium buildings. We seek to make multi-family residential loans to experienced real estate investors with a proven track record. These loans are primarily repaid from the rental payments generated by the multifamily properties. Our multifamily loans as of December 31,
20172019 comprised
$62.4$69.4 million, or 2% of loans.
We expect to continue to make residential real estate mortgage loans at a similar pace so long as housing values in our markets do not deteriorate from current prevailing levels and we are able to make such loans consistent with our current credit and underwriting standards. Like our commercial real estate loans, our residential real estate loans are secured by real estate, the value of which may fluctuate significantly over a short period of time as a result of market conditions in the area in which the real estate is located. Adverse developments affecting real estate values in our market areas could therefore increase the credit risk associated with these loans, impair the value of property pledged as collateral on loans and affect our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure without a loss or additional losses. We primarily make our residential real estate loans to qualified individuals and investors in accordance with our real estate lending policies, which detail maximum loan to value ratios and maturities and, as a result, the repayment of these loans are also affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Construction loans. Our construction real estate loans include commercial construction, land acquisition and land development loans and single-family interim construction loans to small-small and medium-sizedmedium sized businesses, investors, and individuals. We target experienced local developers primarily focused on multifamily, hospitality, commercial building, retail and warehouse developments. These loans typically are disbursed as construction progresses and carry variable interest rates for commercial loans and fixed rates for consumer loans. As of December 31, 2017,2019, the outstanding balance of our construction loans was $448.3$551.1 million, or 14%13% of our loan portfolio. We expect to continue to make construction loans at a similar pace so long as demand continues and the market for and values of such properties remain stable or continue to improve in our markets.
Construction loans carry a high degree of risk because repayment of these loans is dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project or, to a lesser extent, the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan or sell the property upon completion of the project, rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. Moreover, these loans are typically based on future estimates of value and economic circumstances, which may differ from actual results or be affected by unforeseen events. If the actual circumstances differ from the estimates made at the time of approval of these loans, we
face the risk of having inadequate security for the repayment of the loan. Further, these loans are typically secured by the underlying development and, even if we foreclose on the loan, we may be required to fund additional
amounts to complete the project and may have to hold the property for an unspecified period of time while we attempt to dispose of it.
Consumer and other loans. We offer a variety of consumer loans, such as installment loans to individuals for personal, family and household purposes, including car, boat and other recreational vehicle loans, manufactured homes without real estate and personal lines of credit. Our consumerOther loans typically are part of an overall client relationship designedalso include loans to supportstates and political subdivisions in the individual consumer borrowing needs of our commercial loan and deposit clients, and are well diversified across our markets.U.S. As of December 31, 2017,2019, we had outstanding $217.7$272.1 million of consumer and other loans, excluding residential real estate loans, representing 7%6% of our loan portfolio. Consumer loans typically have shorter terms, lower balances, higher yields and higher risks of default than residential real estate mortgage loans. The repayment of consumer loans is dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and are therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances, such as the loss of employment, unexpected medical costs or divorce. These loans are often secured by the underlying personal property, which typically has insufficient value to satisfy the loan without a loss due to damage to the collateral and general depreciation. Other loans are generally subject to the risk that the borrowing municipality or political subdivision may lose a significant portion of its tax base or that the project for which the loan was made may produce inadequate revenue. None of these categories of loans represents a significant portion of our loan portfolio. Deposits and other banking services
We offer a full range of transaction and
interest bearinginterest-bearing depository products and services to meet the demands of each segment within our client base. Our target segments include consumer, small business,
state, municipal and other governmental entities, and corporate entities. We solicit deposits from these target segments through our local bankers, sophisticated product offering and our brand-awareness initiatives, such as our community focused marketing and high-visibility branch locations. We offer demand, negotiable order of withdrawal, money market, certificates of deposit, municipal and savings accounts. To complement our account offerings, we also have in place technology to support

*Includes mortgage servicing-related escrow deposits of $45.4 million, $53.7 million and $53.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively, and $92.6 million as of December 31, 2019. There were no mortgage servicing-related escrow deposits prior to those periods.
The growth of low-cost deposits is an important aspect of our strategic plan, and we believe it is a significant driver of our value. The primary driver of our noninterest bearingnoninterest-bearing deposit growth has been our ability to acquire new commercial clients. This has resulted from the addition of relationship bankers inacross our Nashville market,markets, improved technology in the cash management area, and the addition of experienced cash management sales and operational specialists. Our cash management product offering includes a well-developed online banking platform complimented by a host of ancillary services including lockbox
remittance processing, remote check deposit capture, remote cash capture, fraud protection services, armored car services, commercial and business card products, and merchant processing solutions.
Our consumer offering is anchored on our rewards based checking product where we currently hold over
$260$272 million in deposit balances in approximately
33,00039,900 accounts. The “FirstRewards” checking product incents our clients to use their FirstBank debit card as a primary method of payment at point of sale, utilize online and mobile banking, electronic bill pay, direct deposit, and receive electronic statements.
Additionally, we offer a "FirstRate" money market product to qualifying "FirstRewards" customers. We currently hold approximately $137.9 million in deposit balances related to "FirstRate" money market accounts. When meeting certain criteria, clients receive a premium interest rate on
balances. The Bank benefits from higher interchange revenue, lower expense on a per account basis as compared to traditional products, and better client retention.
The coupling of these strategies delivered through our relationship-based sales model has allowed us to grow
noninterest bearingnoninterest-bearing deposits and noninterest income without expanding our account level fee structure. This differentiating approach has set us apart from national and regional competitors and has built loyalty and satisfaction within our client segments.
Mortgage banking services
We offer full-service residential mortgage products and services through our bank branches, our mortgage offices strategically located throughout the southeastern United States both in and outside our community banking footprint and our internet delivery channel.
We also offer smaller community banks and mortgage companies a host of diverse, third-party mortgage services. Our mortgage business has a strong track record of profitability and growth driven by our experienced mortgage executive team, diversified distribution channels and correspondent relationships with other community banks and mortgage companies.While we have always offered, and continue
From 2010 to
offer, home mortgage loans to retail customers through our bank branches, we began the expansion and diversification of our mortgage business beyond our traditional bank branch channel in 2010 by opening loan production offices in certain Tennessee markets in an effort to take advantage of attractive opportunities to grow our mortgage revenues and attract new customers to the Bank. We continued this expansion in 2011 with the acquisition of the assets and certain employees of Henger Rast Mortgage, with loan production offices in Alabama and Georgia, and the acquisition of our third party origination group in Greer, South Carolina. We also opened additional mortgage offices outside of our community banking footprint in strategically located markets across the Southeast and continued to hire experienced loan officers across our footprint. In 2014, we started our internet delivery channel to target clients across the nation and to compete against online mortgage providers. Additionally, in 2016 we acquired certain assets of Finance of America Mortgage LLC, further expanding our third party origination channel. As a result of these initiatives, we have expanded2017, our mortgage banking

The residential mortgage products and services originated in our community banking footprint and related revenues and expenses are included in our Banking segment while the residential mortgage products and services originated outside of our community banking footprint and related revenues and expenses are included in our Mortgage segment.
The Mortgage segment also includes our ConsumerDirect internet delivery channels, our Third Party Origination group and our mortgage servicing activities.We intend to continue to take advantage of opportunities to grow our mortgage business as they present themselves, including by continuing to expand our mortgage business outside of our community banking footprint, improving the client experience through an enhanced fulfillment process, attracting experienced loan officers and improving profitability through centralized efficiencies and our capital markets execution. We have successfully maintained our ConsumerDirect internet delivery channel over the past year by increasing our marketing of this channel. Additionally, we are continuing to develop our correspondent lending delivery channel, which will be a continued focus of future growth in 2018. We have managed to grow our mortgage business while maintaining a high-degree of scalability to control costs in the event of a downturn in our mortgage business. Our mortgage loan office leases are primarily short-term in nature and approximately 55% of our mortgage-related compensation is in the form of variable compensation. Our mortgage business offers attractive cross-selling opportunities for our consumer banking products through the origination process and our mortgage servicing book.
We look to originate quality mortgage loans with a focus on purchase money mortgages.
In accordance with our lending policy, each loan undergoes a detailed underwriting process which incorporates uniform underwriting standards and oversight that satisfies secondary market standards as outlined by our investors and our internal policies. Mortgage loans are subject to the same uniform lending policies
referenced below and consist primarily of loans with relatively stronger borrower credit scores, with an average FICO score of
731743 during the year ended December 31,
2017.2019.
The residential mortgage industry is highly competitive, and we compete with other community banks, regional banks, national banks, credit unions, mortgage companies, financial service companies and online mortgage companies. Due to the highly competitive nature of the residential mortgage industry, we expect to face continued industry-wide competitive
pressures related to changing market conditions that willcould reduce our pricing margins and mortgage revenues generally, especially in a rising rate environment.
While we have experienced rate declines during the year ended December 31, 2019, increasing interest rate lock commitment volume and profitability of our mortgage business, the mortgage industry remains sensitive to interest rate changes and our profitability could be adversely impacted by rising interest rates. Our mortgage banking business is also directly impacted by the interest rate environment, increased regulations and consumer demand, driven in large part by general economic conditions and the real estate markets andalong with investor demand for mortgage securities. Mortgage production, especially refinancing activity, declines in rising interest rate environments. While we have not yet experienced a slowdown insensitive to these factors, our mortgage origination volume, dueloan office leases are primarily short-term in partnature and approximately 59% of our mortgage-related compensation is in the form of variable compensation, providing scalability to our expansion of our mortgage banking business our mortgage origination volume could be materially and adversely affected by rising interest rates, and we expect to see declining origination volume in 2018 within the industry.

Our operating model demands a strong risk culture built to address multiple areas of risk, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, price risk, compliance
risk, information security / cyber risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputational risk. Our risk culture is supported by investments in the right people and technologies to protect our business. Our board of directors and the Bank’s board of directors are ultimately responsible for overseeing risk management at the holding company and the Bank, respectively. We have a Chief Risk Officer who oversees risk management across our business (including the Bank)
and reports directly to our Chief Executive Officer.. Our board, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Risk Officer are supported by the heads of other functional areas at the Bank, including
credit, legal, IT, audit, compliance, capital markets,
andcredit review, information
security and physical security. Our comprehensive risk management framework is designed to complement our core strategy of empowering our experienced, local bankers with local-decision making to better serve our clients.
Our credit policies support our goal of maintaining sound credit quality standards while achieving balance sheet growth, earnings growth, appropriate liquidity and other key objectives. We maintain a risk management infrastructure that includes local authority, centralized policymaking and a strong system of checks and
balances.balances under the direction of our Chief Credit Officer. The fundamental principles of our credit policy and procedures are to maintain credit quality standards, which enhance our long-term value to our clients, associates, shareholders and communities. Our loan policies provide our bankers with a sufficient degree of flexibility to permit them to deliver responsive and effective lending solutions to our clients while maintaining appropriate credit quality. Furthermore, our bankers and associates are hired for the long-term and they are incentivized to focus on long-term credit quality. Since lending represents credit risk exposure, the
Bank’s board of directors and its duly appointed committees seek to ensure that the Bank maintains appropriate credit quality standards. We have established
management oversight committees to administer the loan portfolio and monitor credit risk. These committees include our audit committee and credit committee, and they meet at least quarterly to review the lending
activities of the Bank.activities.
Diversification of risk is a key factor in prudent asset management. Our loan portfolio is balanced between our metropolitan and community markets and by type, thereby diversifying our loan concentration. Our granular loan portfolio reflects a balanced mix of consumer and commercial clients across these markets that we think provides a natural hedge to industry and market cycles. In addition, risk from concentration is actively managed by management and reviewed by the board of directors of the Bank, and exposures relating to borrower, industry and commercial real estate categories are tracked and measured against policy limits. These limits are reviewed as part of our periodic review of the loan policy. Loan concentration levels are monitored by the
credit administration departmentChief Credit Officer and reported to the board of
directors of the Bank.directors.
The loan approval process at the Bank is characterized by local authority supported by a risk control environment that provides for prompt and thorough underwriting of loans. Our localized decision making is reinforced through a centralized review process supported by technology that monitors credits to ensure compliance with our credit policies. Our loan approval method is based on a hierarchy of individual lending authorities for new credits and renewals granted to our individual bankers, market presidents, credit officers, senior management and credit committee. The
Bank’s board of directors establishes the maximum lending limits at each level and our senior management team sets individual authorities within these maximum limits to each individual based on demonstrated experience and expertise, and are
periodically reviewed and updated. We believe that the ability to have individual loan authority up to specified levels based on experience and track record coupled with appropriate
approval limits for our market presidents and credit officers allows us to provide prompt and appropriate responses to our clients while still allowing for the appropriate level of oversight.
As a relationship-oriented lender, rather than transaction-oriented lender, substantially all of our loans are made to borrowers or relationships located or operating in our market area. This provides us with a better understanding of their business, creditworthiness and the economic conditions in their market and industry. Furthermore, our associates are held accountable for all of their decisions, which effectively aligns their incentives to reflect appropriate risk management.
In considering loans, we follow the
conservative underwriting principles set forth in our loan policy with a primary focus on the following factors:
aA relationship with our clients that provides us with a thorough understanding of their financial condition and ability to repay the loan;
verification that the primary and secondary sources of repayment are adequate in relation to the amount of the loan;
adherence to appropriate loan to value guidelines for real estate secured loans;
targeted levels of diversification for the loan portfolio, both as to type of borrower and type of collateral; and
proper documentation of loans, including perfected liens on collateral.
As part of the approval process for any given loan, we seek to minimize risk in a variety of ways, including the following:
analysis of the borrower’sborrower's and/or guarantor’sguarantor's financial condition, cash flow, liquidity, and leverage;
assessment of the project’sproject's operating history, operating projections, location and condition;
review of appraisals, title commitment and environmental reports;
consideration of the management’smanagement's experience and financial strength of the principals of the borrower; and
understanding economic trends and industry conditions.
The board of directors
of the Bank reviews and approves loan policy changes, monitors loan portfolio trends and credit trends, and reviews and approves loan transactions that exceed management thresholds as set forth in our loan policies. Loan pricing is established in conjunction with the loan approval process based on pricing guidelines for loans that are set by the Bank’s senior management. We believe that our loan approval process provides for thorough internal controls, underwriting, and decision making.
The Bank is limited in the amount it can loan in the aggregate to a single borrower or related borrowers by the amount of our
regulatory capital. The Bank is a Tennessee chartered bank and therefore all branches, regardless of location, fall under the legal lending limits of the state of Tennessee. Tennessee’s legal lending limit is a safety and soundness measure intended to prevent one person or a relatively small and economically related group of persons from borrowing an unduly large amount of a bank’s funds. It is also intended to safeguard a bank’s depositors by diversifying the risk of loan losses among a relatively large number of creditworthy borrowers engaged in various types of businesses. Generally, under Tennessee law, loans and extensions of credit to a borrower may not exceed 15% of our bank’s Tier 1 capital, plus an additional 10% of the bank’s Tier 1 capital, with approval of the bank’s board. Further, the Bank may elect to conform to similar standards applicable to national banks under federal law, in lieu of Tennessee law. Because the federal law and Tennessee state law standards are determined as a percentage of the Bank’s capital, these state and federal limits both increase or decrease as the Bank’s capital increases or decreases. Based upon the capitalization of the Bank at December 31,
2017,2019, the Bank’s legal lending limits were approximately
$66$89 million (15%) and
$111$148 million (25%). The Bank may seek to sell participations in our larger loans to other financial institutions, which will allow us to manage the risk involved in these loans and to meet the lending needs of our clients requiring extensions of credit in excess of these limits.
In addition to these legally imposed lending limits, we also employ appropriate limits on our overall loan portfolio and requirements with respect to certain types of lending and individual lending relationships. For example, we have lending limits related to maximum borrower, industry and certain types of commercial real estate exposures.
Enterprise risk management
We maintain an enterprise risk management program that helps us to identify, manage, monitor and control potential risks that may affect us, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, price risk, compliance risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputational risk. Our operating model demands a strong risk culture built to address the multiple areas of risk we face, and our risk management strategy is supported by significant investments in the right people and technologies to protect the organization.
Our comprehensive risk management framework and risk identification is a continuous process and occurs at both the transaction level and the portfolio level. While our local bankers and associates support our day-to-day risk practices, management seeks to identify interdependencies and correlations across portfolios and lines of business that may amplify risk exposure through a thorough centralized review process. Risk measurement helps us to control and monitor risk levels
and is based on the sophistication of the risk measurement tools used to reflect the complexity and levels of assumed risk. We monitor risks and ensure compliance with our risk policies by timely reviewing risk positions and exceptions, investing in the technology to monitor credits, requiring senior management authority sign-off on larger credit requests and granting credit authority to bankers and officers based on demonstrated experience and expertise. This monitoring process ensures that management’s decisions are implemented for all geographies, products and legal entities.
We control risks through limits that are communicated through policies, standards, procedures and processes that define responsibility and authority. Such limits serve as a means to control exposures to the various risks associated with our activities, and are meaningful management tools that can be adjusted if conditions or risk tolerances change. In addition, we maintain a process to authorize exceptions or changes to risk limits when warranted. These risk management practices help to ensure effective reporting, compliance with all laws, rules and regulations, avoid damage to our reputation and related consequences, and attain our strategic goals while avoiding pitfalls and surprises along the way.
The board of directors
of the Bank approves policies that set operational standards and risk limits, and any changes require approval by the Bank’s board of directors. Management is responsible for the implementation, integrity and maintenance of our risk management systems ensuring the directives are implemented and administered in compliance with the approved policy. Our Chief Risk Officer supervises the overall management of our risk management program, reports to management and yet also retains independent access to the
Bank’s board of directors.
Credit risk management is a key component of our risk management program. We employ consistent analysis and underwriting to examine credit information and prepare underwriting documentation. We monitor and approve exceptions to our credit policies as required, and we also track and address technical exceptions.
Each loan officer has the primary responsibility for appropriately risk rating each commercial loan that is made. In addition, our credit administration department is responsible for the ongoing monitoring of loan portfolio performance through the review of ongoing financial reports, loan officer reports, audit reviews and exception reporting and concentration analysis. This monitoring process also includes an ongoing review of loan risk ratings and management of our allowance for loan losses. We have a Chief Credit Officer responsible for maintaining the integrity of our portfolio within the parameters of the credit policy. We utilize a risk grading system that enables management to differentiate individual loan quality and forecast future profitability and portfolio loss potential.
We assign a credit risk rating at the time a commercial loan is made and adjust it promptly as conditions warrant. Portfolio monitoring systems allow management to proactively assess risk and make decisions that will minimize the impact of negative developments. We promote open communication to minimize or eliminate surprises. Successful credit management is achieved by lenders consistently meeting with clients and reviewing their financial conditions regularly. This enables both the recognition of future opportunities and potential weaknesses early.
The
Bank’s board of directors supports a strong loan review program and is committed to its effectiveness as part of the independent process of assessing our lending activities. We have communicated to our credit and lending staff that the identification of emerging problem loans begins with the lending personnel knowing their client and, supported by credit personnel, actively monitoring their client relationships. The loan review process is meant to augment this active management of client relationships and to provide an independent and broad-based look into our lending activities. We believe that our strong client relationships support our ability to identify potential deterioration of our credits at an early stage enabling us to address these issues early on to minimize potential losses.
We maintain a robust loan review function by utilizing an internal loan review team as well as third-party loan review firms that report to the board of directors
of the Bank to ensure independence and objectivity. The examinations performed by the loan review department are based on risk assessments of individual loan commitments within our loan portfolio over a period of time. At the conclusion of each review, the loan review department provides management and the board of directors with a report that summarizes the findings of the review. At a minimum, the report addresses risk rating accuracy, compliance with regulations and policies, loan documentation accuracy, the timely receipt of financial statements, and any additional material issues.
When delinquencies in our loans exist, we
We rigorously monitor the levels of such delinquencies for any negative or adverse trends. From time to time, we may modify loans to extend the term or make other concessions to help a borrower with a deteriorating financial condition stay current on their loan and to avoid foreclosure. We generally do not forgive principal or
interest on loans or modify the interest rates on loans to rates that are below market rates. Furthermore, we are committed to collecting on all of our loans and, as a result, at times have lower net charge-offs compared to our peer banks. This practice can result in us carrying higher nonperforming assets on our books than our peers, however, our nonperforming assets in recent years have been lower than peers due to strong asset quality. Our commitment to collecting on all of our loans, coupled with our knowledge of our borrowers, sometimes results in higher loan recoveries. We believe that we are well reserved for losses resulting from our non-performing assets.
Liquidity and interest rate risk management
Our liquidity planning framework is focused on ensuring the lowest cost of funding available and planning for unpredictable funding circumstances. To achieve these objectives, we utilize a simple funding and capital structure consisting primarily of deposits and common equity. We remain continually focused on growing our
noninterest bearingnoninterest-bearing and other low-cost core deposits while replacing higher cost funding options, including wholesale time deposits and other borrowed debt, to fund our balance sheet growth. The following chart shows our
simpleoverall funding structure as of December 31,
2017.2019.
Funding structure as of December 31, 2017
2019
In addition, we monitor our liquidity risk by adopting policies to define potential liquidity problems, reviewing and maintaining an updated liquidity contingency plan and providing a prudent capital structure consistent with our credit standing and plans for strategic growth.
Our interest risk management system is overseen by our board of directors, who has the authority to approve acceptable rate risk levels. Our board of directors has established the Asset Liability Committee to ensure appropriate risk appetite by requiring:
quarterly testing of interest rate risk exposure,
proactive risk identification and measurement,
quarterly risk presentations by senior management,management; and
independent review of the risk management process.
Competition
Competition
We conduct our core banking operations primarily in Tennessee and compete in the commercial banking industry solely through our wholly-ownedwholly owned banking subsidiary, FirstBank. The banking industry is highly competitive, and we experience competition in our market areas from many other financial institutions. We compete with commercial banks, credit unions, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms, online mortgage lenders, online deposit banks, digital banking platforms, consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market funds and other mutual funds, as well as super-regional, national and international financial institutions that operate offices in our market areas and elsewhere. In addition, a number of out-of-state financial intermediaries have opened production offices, or otherwise solicit deposits, in our market areas. Increased competition in our markets may result in reduced loans and deposits, as well as reduced net interest margin and profitability. Furthermore, the Tennessee market has grown increasingly competitive in recent years with a number of banks entering this market, with a primary focus on the state’s metropolitan markets. We believe this trend will continue as banks look to gain a foothold in these growing markets. This trend will result in greater competition primarily in our metropolitan markets. However, we firmly believe that our market position and client-focused operating model enhances our ability to attract and retain clients.
See “Our markets” in this section above for a further discussion of the markets we compete in and the competitive landscape in these markets.
As of December 31,
2017,2019, we had
1,3351,377 full-time
equivalent associates and
5122 part-time

Information technology systems
We have recently made and continue to make significant investments in our technology platforms.platforms to further strengthen our scalability and resiliency. In 2014,2019, we completedhave made investments in key underlying technology support components, through upgrading our client workstation operating systems, our network infrastructure, expanding the deployment of Software Defined Wide Area Network ("SD-WAN") architecture, and the implementation of an upgrade toimproved workstation management systems, all of which support our consumer online banking, mobilecontinued growth.
In 2019, we also expanded the adoption of core and
voice platforms deploying competitive technology to support consumer self-service banking behavior. During 2015, we completed the installationancillary functionality of
a dedicated commercial cash management platform that is configurable at a client segment level supporting a broad range of client needs. We also developed a commercial mobile and tablet app that we launched in late 2016.During the second quarter of 2016, we successfully converted our core operating platform to the Jack Henry Silverlaketechnology improving efficiency and capacity, including the implementation of an improved Teller platform. This core conversion includes the replacement ofWe have added Mobile Wallet technology, allowing customers to utilize Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay with their FirstBank debit cards.

This system streamlines the mortgage application process, resulting in an easier, more competitive experience for our ability to attract new households.
mortgage customers.
Supervision and regulation
The following is a general summary of the material aspects of certain statutes and regulations applicable to us and the Bank. These summary descriptions are not complete, and you should refer to the full text of the statutes, regulations, and corresponding guidance for more information. These statutes and regulations are subject to change, and additional statutes, regulations, and corresponding guidance may be adopted. We are unable to predict these future changes or the effects, if any, that these changes could have on our business, revenues, and financial results.
As a registered bank holding company, we are subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or Federal Reserve, under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). In addition, as a Tennessee state-chartered bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is subject to primary regulation, supervision, and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC and the Bank’s state banking regulator, the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions, or TDFI. Supervision, regulation, and examination of us and the Bank by the bank regulatory agencies are intended primarily for the protection of consumers, bank depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC, rather than holders of our capital stock.
Changes as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act
As a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or Dodd-Frank Act, the regulatory framework under which we and the Bank operate has changed. The Dodd-Frank Act brought about a significant overhaul of many aspects of the regulation of the financial services industry, addressing issues including, among others, systemic risk, capital adequacy, deposit insurance assessments, consumer financial protection, interchange fees, lending limits, mortgage lending practices, registration of investment advisers and changes among the bank regulatory agencies. In particular, portions of the Dodd-Frank Act that affected us and the Bank include, but are not limited to:
The Dodd-Frank Act created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, a new federal regulatory body with broad authority to regulate the offering and provision of consumer financial products and services. The authority to examine depository institutions with $10.0$10 billion or less in assets, such as the Bank, for compliance with federal consumer laws remain largely with the Bank’sBank's primary federal regulator, the FDIC. However, the CFPB may participate in examinations of smaller institutions on a “sampling basis”"sampling basis" and may refer potential enforcement actions against such institutions to their primary regulators. While the CFPB does not have direct supervisory authority over us or the Bank, it nevertheless has important rulemaking, examination and enforcement authority with regard to consumer financial products and services.
The Dodd-Frank Act imposed new duties on mortgage lenders, including a duty to determine the borrower’sborrower's ability to repay the loan, and imposed a requirement on mortgage securitizers to retain a minimum level of economic interest in securitized pools of certain mortgage types.
The Dodd-Frank Act’sAct's Volcker Rule substantially restricted proprietary trading and investments in hedge funds or private equity funds and requires banking entities to implement compliance programs, as describeddesribed further under “Other"Other Dodd-Frank Act reforms :reforms: Volcker Rule”Rule" below.
The Dodd-Frank Act contained other provisions, including but not limited to: new limitations on federal preemption; application of new regulatory capital requirements, including changes to leverage and risk-based capital standards and changes to the components of permissible tiered capital ;capital; changes to the assessment base for deposit insurance premiums; permanently raising the FDIC’sFDIC's standard maximum deposit insurance amount to $250,000 limit for federal deposit insurance; repeal of the prohibition on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts; a prohibition on incentive-based compensation arrangements that encourage inappropriate risk taking by covered financial institutions and are deemed to be excessive, or that may lead to material losses; requirement that sponsors of asset-backed securities retain a percentage of the credit risk of the assets underlying the securities; requirement that banking regulators remove references to and requirements of reliance upon credit ratings from their regulations and replace them with appropriate alternatives for evaluating credit worthiness.
The list above is not exhaustive. It reflects our current assessment of the Dodd-Frank Act provisions and implementing rules that are reasonably possible to have a substantial impact on us in the future.
After our planned merger with Franklin Synergy Bank, the Bank will have more than $10 billion in total assets and will be subject to additional federal regulations under Section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
Changes as a result of Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) accounting standard
In December 2018, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC approved a final rule to address changes to credit loss accounting under GAAP. The final rule provides banking organizations the option to phase in over a three-year period the day-one adverse effects on regulatory capital that may result from the adoption of the new accounting standard. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company has adopted the transitional guidance to reduce the impact of the initial adoption on regulatory capital.
Proposed changes of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (Regulatory Relief Act)
The Regulatory Relief Act was enacted to modify or remove certain financial reform rules and regulations, including some of those implemented under the Dodd-Frank Act. While it maintains the majority of the regulatory structure established by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Regulatory Relief Act amends certain aspects for small depository institutions with less than $10 billion in assets. Sections in the Regulatory Relief Act address access to mortgage credit; consumer access to credit; protections for veterans, consumers, and homeowners; rules for certain bank or financial holding companies; capital access; and protections for student borrowers.
Among other items, the Regulatory Relief Act simplifies the regulatory capital rules for financial institutions and their holding companies with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion. The Regulatory Relief Act requires federal banking agencies to develop a community bank leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of tangible equity capital to average total consolidated assets) for banks and holding companies with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion and an appropriate risk profile. The required regulations specify a minimum community bank leverage ratio of not less than 8% and not more than 10%, as well as procedures for treatment of a qualifying community bank that has a community bank leverage ratio that falls below the required minimum. Qualifying banks that exceed the minimum community bank leverage ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements. Given the pending acquisition of Franklin, we do not currently plan on adopting the new capital standard.
In September 2019, pursuant to the Regulatory Relief Act, the federal banking agencies adopted a final rule setting the community bank leverage ratio at 9%.
Further, the Regulatory Relief Act decreased the burden for community banks in regards to call reports, the Volcker Rule (which generally restricts banks from engaging in certain investment activities and limits involvement with hedge funds and private equity firms), mortgage disclosures, and risk weights for some high-risk commercial real estate loans. On December 28, 2018, the federal banking agencies issued a final rule increasing the asset threshold to qualify for an 18-month examination cycle from $1 billion to $3 billion for qualifying institutions that are well capitalized, well managed and meet certain other requirements.
Any number of the provisions of the Regulatory Relief Act may have the effect of increasing our expenses, decreasing our revenues, or changing the activities in which we choose to engage. The environment in which banking organizations operate, including legislative and regulatory changes affecting capital, liquidity, supervision, permissible activities, corporate governance and compensation, changes in fiscal policy and steps to eliminate government support for banking organizations, may have long-term effects on the profitability of banking organizations that cannot now be foreseen.
Holding company regulation
As a regulated bank holding company, we are subject to various laws and regulations that affect our business. These laws and regulations, among other matters, prescribe minimum capital requirements, limit transactions with affiliates, impose limitations on the business activities in which we can engage, limit the dividend or distributions that the Bank can pay to us, restrict the ability of institutions to guarantee our debt, and impose certain specific accounting requirements on us that may be more restrictive and may result in greater or earlier charges to earnings or reductions in our capital than generally accepted accounting principles, among other things.
Under the BHCA, as amended, a bank holding company is generally permitted to engage in, or acquire direct or indirect control of more than five percent of any class of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company and that is engaged in, the following activities (in each case, subject to certain conditions and restrictions and prior approval of the Federal Reserve):
banking or managing or controlling banks:
furnishing services to or performing services for our subsidiaries:
any activity that the Federal Reserve determines by regulation or order to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to the business of banking, including:

providing certain community development activities (such as making investments in projects designed primarily to promote community welfare); and
issuing and selling money orders and similar consumer-type payment instruments.
While the Federal Reserve has found these activities in the past acceptable for other bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve may not allow us to conduct any or all of these activities, which are reviewed by the Federal Reserve on a case by case basis upon application by a bank holding company.
The Federal Reserve has the authority to order a bank holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any of these activities or to terminate its ownership or control of any subsidiary when it has reasonable cause to believe that the bank holding company’s continued ownership, activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of it or any of its bank subsidiaries.
Acquisitions subject to prior regulatory approval
The BHCA requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve for a bank holding company to acquire substantially all the assets of a bank or to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of the voting shares of any bank, bank holding company, savings and loan holding company or savings association, or to increase any such non-majority ownership or control of any bank, bank holding company, savings and loan holding company or savings association, or to merge or consolidate with any bank holding company.
Under the BHCA, if “well capitalized” and “well managed”, as defined under the BHCA and implementing regulations, we or any other bank holding company located in Tennessee may purchase a bank located outside of Tennessee. Conversely, a well-capitalized and well-managed bank holding company located outside of Tennessee may purchase a bank located inside Tennessee. In each case, however, restrictions may be placed on the acquisition of a bank that has only been in existence for a limited amount of time or will result in concentrations of deposits exceeding limits specified by statute. For example, Tennessee law currently prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring control of a Tennessee-based financial institution until the target financial institution has been in operation for at least three years.
Bank holding company obligations to bank subsidiaries
Under current law and Federal Reserve policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to its depository institution subsidiaries and to maintain resources adequate to support such subsidiaries, which could require us to commit resources to support the Bank in situations where additional investments in a bank may not otherwise be warranted. These situations include guaranteeing the compliance of an “undercapitalized” bank with its obligations under a capital restoration plan, as described further under “Bank regulation-: Capitalization levels and prompt corrective action” below. As a result of these obligations, a bank holding company may be required to contribute additional capital to its subsidiaries in the form of capital notes or other instruments that qualify as capital under regulatory rules. Any such loan from a holding company to a subsidiary bank is likely to be unsecured and subordinated to the bank’s depositors and perhaps to other creditors of the bank. If we were to enter bankruptcy or become subject to the orderly liquidation process established by the Dodd-Frank Act, any commitment by us to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of the Bank would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee or the FDIC, as appropriate, and entitled to a priority of payment.
Restrictions on bank holding company dividends.
The Federal Reserve’s policy regarding dividends is that a bank holding company should not declare or pay a cash dividend which would impose undue pressure on the capital of any bank subsidiary or would be funded only through borrowing or other arrangements that might adversely affect a bank holding company’s financial position. As a general matter, the Federal Reserve has indicated that the board of directors of a bank holding company should consult with the Federal Reserve and eliminate, defer or significantly reduce the bank holding company’s dividends if:
its 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;
its prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with its capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition; or
it will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios.
Should an insured depository institution controlled by a bank holding company be “significantly undercapitalized” under the applicable federal bank capital ratios, or if the bank subsidiary is “undercapitalized” and has failed to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or has materially failed to implement such a plan, federal banking regulators (in the case of the Bank, the FDIC) may choose to require prior Federal Reserve approval for any capital distribution by the bank holding company. For more information, see “Bank regulation: Capitalization levels and prompt corrective action.”
In addition, since our legal entity is separate and distinct from the Bank and does not conduct stand-alone operations, our ability to pay dividends depends on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us, which is also subject to regulatory restrictions as described below in “Bank regulation: Bank dividends.”
Under Tennessee law, we are not permitted to pay cash dividends if, after giving effect to such payment, we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business or our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus any amounts needed to satisfy any preferential rights if we were dissolving. In addition, in deciding whether or not to declare a dividend of any particular size, our board of directors must consider our current and prospective capital, liquidity, and other needs.
U.S. Basel III capital rules
In July 2013, federal banking regulators, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, adopted the U.S. Basel Capital Rules implementing many aspects of the Basel III Capital Standards.
The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules apply to all national and state banks and savings associations and most bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies, which we collectively refer to herein as “covered” banking organizations. The requirements in the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules started to phase in on January 1, 2015, for many covered banking organizations, including the Company and the
Bank. The requirements in the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules will beBank and have been fully
phased in byphased-in as of January 1, 2019.
The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules impose higher risk-based capital and leverage requirements than those previously in place. Specifically, the rules impose the following minimum capital requirements applicable to us and the Bank:
a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%;
a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% (increased from the current 4% requirement);
a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% (unchanged from current requirements); and
a new supplementary leverage ratio of 3%, resulting in a leverage ratio requirement of 7% for such institutions.
Under the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules, Tier 1 Capital is defined to include two components: common equity Tier 1 Capital and additional Tier 1 Capital. The highest form of capital, Common Equity Tier 1 Capital or ("CET1 Capital,Capital"), consists solely of
common stock
(plusplus related
surplus),surplus, retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income, and limited amounts of minority interests that are in the form of common stock. Additional Tier 1 Capital includes other perpetual instruments historically included in Tier 1 Capital, such as non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock.
The rules permit bank holding companies with less than $15.0 billion in total consolidated assets,
such as us, to continue to include trust-preferred securities and cumulative perpetual preferred stock issued before May 19, 2010, in Tier 1 Capital, but not in CET1 Capital, subject to certain restrictions. Tier 2 Capital consists of instruments that currently qualify in Tier 2 Capital plus instruments that the rule has disqualified from Tier 1 Capital treatment. We have outstanding trust-preferred securities, issued as debt securities. The first issue was for
$21,000,000$21.0 million (21,000 securities priced at $1,000 each) plus
$650,000$0.7 million in the related common securities, and the second issue was for
$9,000,000$9.0 million (9,000 securities priced at $1,000 each) plus
$280,000$0.3 million in the related common securities.
In addition, in order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions or discretionary bonus payments to executives, a covered banking organization must maintain a capital conservation buffer on top of its minimum risk-based capital requirements. This buffer must consist solely of Tier 1 Common Equity, but the buffer applies to all three risk-based measurements
(Common Equity Tier 1,(CET1 Captial, Tier 1 Capital and total capital). The capital conservation buffer
will be phased in incrementally over time, becoming fully effective on January 1, 2019, and will consistconsists of an additional amount of common equity equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.
The U.S. Basel III Capital Standards require certain deductions from or adjustments to capital. As a result, deductions from CET1 Capital
will beare required for goodwill (net of associated deferred tax liabilities); intangible assets such as non-mortgage servicing assets and purchased credit card relationships (net of associated deferred tax liabilities); deferred tax assets that arise from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards (net of any related
valuationsvaluation allowances and net of deferred tax liabilities); any gain on sale in connection with a securitization exposure; any defined benefit pension fund net asset (net of any associated deferred tax liabilities) held by a bank holding company; the aggregate amount of outstanding equity investments (including retained earnings) in financial subsidiaries; and identified losses. Other deductions are required from different levels of capital. The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules also increase the risk weight for certain assets, meaning that more capital must be held against such assets. For example, commercial real estate loans that do not meet certain
new underwriting requirements must be risk-weighted at 150% rather than the current 100%.
Additionally, the U.S. Basel III Capital Standards provide for the deduction of three categories of assets: (i) deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences that cannot be realized through net operating loss carrybacks (net of related valuation allowances and of deferred tax liabilities), (ii) mortgage servicing assets (net of associated deferred tax liabilities) and (iii) investments in more than 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock of unconsolidated financial institutions (net of associated deferred tax liabilities). The
amount in each category that exceeds 10%joint agencies issued the Regulatory Capital: Simplifications to the Capital Rule Pursant to the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of
1996 (Capital Simplifications Final Rule) on July 22, 2019. Under the Capital Simplifications Final Rule, non-advanced approaches banking organizations are subject to simpler regulatory capital requirements for the three categories of assets discussed above. There is a 25% CET1 Capital
must be deducted from CET1 Capital. The remaining, non-deducted amounts are then aggregated, anddeduction threshold for all three categories combined. In September 2019, the
amount byjoin agencies published an updated allowing early adoption on January 1, 2020, which
this total amount exceeds 15% of CET1 Capital must be deducted from CET1 Capital. Amounts of minority investments in consolidated subsidiaries that exceed certain limits and investments in unconsolidated financial institutions may also havewe plan to
be deducted fromutilize. We do not anticipate any significant impact to the
category of capital
to which such instruments belong.ratios.
Accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI, is presumptively included in CET1 Capital and often would operate to reduce this category of capital. The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules provided a one-time opportunity at the end of the first quarter of 2015 for covered banking organizations to opt out of much of this treatment of
AOCI. We elected to opt out.AOCI, which we elected. The rules also have the effect of increasing capital requirements by increasing the risk weights on certain assets, including high volatility commercial real estate, mortgage servicing rights not includable in CET1 Capital, equity exposures, and claims on securities firms, which are used in the denominator of the three risk-based capital ratios.
When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the
U.S. Basel III Capital Rules will require us and the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of CET1 Capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of CET1 Capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 7.0%, (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 Capital ratio of 8.5%, (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2) to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 Capital to average assets. Management believes that we and the Bank would meet all capital adequacy requirements under the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules on a fully phased-in basis if such requirements were currently effective.
The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules also make important changes to the “prompt corrective action” framework discussed below in “Bank regulation: Capitalization levels and prompt corrective action.”
Restrictions on affiliate transactions
See “Bank regulation: Restrictions on transactions with affiliates” below.
We are a bank holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve. Subject to certain exceptions, the Change in Bank Control Act, or (“CIBCA”), and its implementing regulations require that any individual or company acquiring “control” of a bank or bank holding company, either directly or indirectly, give the Federal Reserve 60 days’ prior written notice of the proposed acquisition. If within that time period the Federal Reserve has not issued a notice disapproving the proposed acquisition, extended the period for an additional period up to 90 days or requested additional information, the acquisition may proceed. An acquisition may be made before expiration of the disapproval period if the Federal Reserve issues written notice that it intends not to disapprove the acquisition. Acquisition of 25 percent or more of any class of voting securities constitutes control, and it is generally presumed for purposes of the CIBCA that the acquisition of 10 percent or more of any class of voting securities would constitute the acquisition of control, although such a presumption of control may be rebutted.
Also, under the CIBCA, the shareholdings of individuals and companies that are deemed to be “acting in concert” would be aggregated for purposes of determining whether such holders “control” a bank or bank holding company. “Acting in concert” under the CIBCA generally means knowing participation in a joint activity or parallel action towards the common goal of acquiring control of a bank or a bank holding company, whether or not pursuant to an express agreement. The manner in which this definition is applied in individual circumstances can vary and cannot always be predicted with certainty. Many factors can lead to a rebuttable presumption of acting in concert, including where: (i) the shareholders are commonly controlled or managed; (ii) the shareholders are parties to an oral or written agreement or understanding regarding the acquisition, voting or transfer of control of voting securities of a bank or bank holding company; (iii) the shareholders are immediate family members; or (iv) both a shareholder and a controlling shareholder, partner, trustee or management official of such shareholder own equity in the bank or bank holding company.
Furthermore, under the BHCA and its implementing regulations, and subject to certain exceptions, any company would be required to obtain Federal Reserve approval prior to obtaining control of a bank or bank holding company. Control underThe Federal Reserve issued a final rule in 2019, effective April 1, 2020, which established tiered presumptions of control as detailed in the BHCA existstable below. The final rule provides clarity for circumstances where a company acquires 25 percentless than 25% of any class of voting securities; control continues to exist in circumstances where a company directly or indirectly owns, controls or has power to vote 25% or more of any class of voting securities hasor control in any manner the ability to electelection of a majority of a bank holding company’sthe directors is found to exercise a “controlling influence” over a bank or bank holding company’s management and policies, and in certaintrustees of the other circumstances.company. There is a presumption of non-control for any holder of less than 5% of any class of voting securities. securities, assuming none of the generally applicable presumptions are triggered.

In addition, in 2008 the Federal Reserve issued a policy statement on equity investments in banks and bank holding companies, which sets out circumstances under which a minority investor would not be deemed to control a bank or bank holding company for purposes of the BHCA. Among other things, the 2008 policy statement permits a minority investor to hold up to 24.9% (or 33.3% under certain circumstances) of the total equity (voting and non-voting combined) and have at least one representative on the company’s board of directors (with two directors permitted under certain circumstances).
This policy statement remains in effect to the extent not superseded by the final rule.
Compensation and risk management
In 2010, the federal banking agencies issued guidance to regulated banks and bank holding companies intended to ensure that incentive compensation arrangements at financial organizations take into account risk and are consistent with safe and sound practices. The guidance is based on three “key principles” calling for incentive compensation plans to: appropriately balance risks and rewards; be compatible with effective controls and risk management; and be backed up by strong corporate governance. Further, in 2016 the federal banking regulators re-proposed rules that would prohibit incentive compensation arrangements that would encourage inappropriate risks by providing excessive compensation or that could lead to a material financial loss, and include certain prescribed standards for governance and risk management for incentive compensation for institutions, such as us, that have over $1 billion in consolidated assets.
The Bank is a banking institution that is chartered by and headquartered in the State of Tennessee, and it is subject to supervision and regulation by the TDFI and the FDIC. The TDFI and FDIC supervise and regulate all areas of the Bank’s operations including, without limitation, the making of loans, the issuance of securities, the conduct of the Bank’s corporate affairs, the satisfaction of capital adequacy requirements, the payment of dividends, and the establishment or closing of banking offices. The FDIC is the Bank’s primary federal regulatory agency, which periodically examines the Bank’s operations and financial condition and compliance with federal consumer protection laws. In addition, the Bank’s
deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the FDIC has certain enforcement powers over the Bank.
As a state-chartered banking institution in the State of Tennessee, the Bank is empowered by statute, subject to the limitations contained in those statutes, to take and pay interest on deposits, to make loans on residential and other real estate, to make consumer and commercial loans, to invest, with certain limitations, in equity securities and in debt obligations of banks and corporations and to provide various other banking services for the benefit of the Bank’s clients. Various state consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Bank, including state usury laws, consumer credit and equal credit opportunity laws, and fair credit reporting. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, or FDICIA, generally prohibits insured state chartered institutions from conducting activities as principal that are not permitted for national banks. The Bank is also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, including but not limited to requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, lending limits, limitations on branching activities, limitations on the types of investments that may be made, activities that may be engaged in, and types of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Bank. Also, the Bank and certain of its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with extensions of credit, leases or sales of property, or furnishing products or services.
See “Holding company regulation: U.S. Basel III capital rules.”
Capitalization levels and prompt corrective action
Federal law and regulations establish a capital-based regulatory scheme designed to promote early intervention for troubled banks and require the FDIC to choose the least expensive resolution of bank failures. The capital-based regulatory framework contains five categories of regulatory capital requirements, including “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized.” A well-capitalized insured depository institution is one (i) having a total risk-based capital ratio of 10 percent or greater, (ii) having a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8 percent or greater, (iii) having a CET1 capital ratio of 6.5 percent or greater, (iv) having a leverage capital ratio of 5 percent or greater and (v) that is not subject to any order or written directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.
Generally, a financial institution must be “well capitalized” before the Federal Reserve will approve an application by a bank holding company to acquire a bank or merge with a bank holding company, and the FDIC applies the same requirement in approving bank merger applications.
Immediately upon becoming undercapitalized, a depository institution becomes subject to the provisions of Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, or FDIA, which: (i) restrict payment of capital distributions and management fees; (ii) require that the appropriate federal banking agency monitor the condition of the institution and its efforts to restore its capital; (iii) require submission of a capital restoration plan; (iv) restrict the growth of the institution’s assets; and (v) require prior approval of certain expansion proposals. Bank holding companies controlling financial institutions can be called upon to boost the institutions’ capital and to partially guarantee the institutions’ performance under their capital restoration plans. The appropriate federal banking agency for an undercapitalized institution also may take any number of discretionary supervisory actions if the agency determines that any of these actions is necessary to resolve the problems of the institution at the least possible long-term cost to the deposit insurance fund, subject in certain cases to specified procedures. These discretionary supervisory actions include: (i) requiring the institution to raise additional capital; (ii) restricting transactions with affiliates; (iii) requiring divestiture of the institution or the sale of the institution to a willing purchaser; (iv) requiring the institution to change and improve its management; (iv) prohibiting the acceptance of deposits from correspondent banks; (v) requiring prior Federal Reserve approval for any capital distribution by a bank holding company controlling the institution; and (vi) any other supervisory action that the agency deems appropriate. These and additional mandatory and permissive supervisory actions may be taken with respect to significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized institutions.
As of December 31,
2017,2019, the Bank had sufficient capital to qualify as “well capitalized” under the requirements contained in the applicable regulations, policies and directives pertaining to capital adequacy, and it is unaware of any material violation or alleged material violation of these regulations, policies or directives. Rapid growth, poor loan portfolio performance, or poor earnings performance, or a combination of these factors, could change the Bank’s capital position in a relatively short period of time, making additional capital infusions necessary.
It should be noted that the minimum ratios referred to above in this section are merely guidelines, and the bank regulators possess the discretionary authority to require higher capital ratios.
The Federal Reserve requires all depository institutions, even if not members of the Federal Reserve System, to maintain reserves against some transaction accounts. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements. An institution may borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank “discount window” as a secondary source of funds, provided that the institution meets the Federal Reserve Bank’s credit standards.
The FDIC prohibits any distribution that would result in the bank being “undercapitalized” (<4% leverage ratio, <4.5% CET1 Risk-Based ratio, <6% Tier 1 Risk-Based ratio, or <8% Total Risk-Based ratio). Tennessee law places restrictions on the declaration of dividends by state chartered banks to their shareholders, including, but not limited to, that the board of directors of a Tennessee-chartered bank may only make a dividend from the surplus profits arising from the business of the bank, and may not declare dividends in any calendar year that exceeds the total of its retained net income of that year combined with its retained net income of the preceding two (2) years without the prior approval of the TDFI commissioner. Furthermore, the
FDIC and the TDFI also
hashave authority to prohibit the payment of dividends by a Tennessee bank when it determines such payment to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice.
Insurance of accounts and other assessments
The Bank pays deposit insurance assessments to the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is determined through a risk-based assessment system. The Bank’s deposit accounts are currently insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund, generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured depositor. The Bank pays assessments to the FDIC for such deposit insurance. Under the current assessment system, the FDIC assigns an institution to a risk category based on the institution’s most recent supervisory and capital evaluations, which are designed to measure risk. Under the FDIA, the FDIC may terminate a bank’s deposit insurance upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, agreement or condition imposed by the FDIC.
In addition, all FDIC-insured institutions are required to pay assessments to the FDIC to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, or FICO, a federal government corporation established to recapitalize the predecessor to the Savings Association Insurance Fund. FICO assessments are set quarterly and the assessment rate was
.590 (annual) basis points for all four quarters in 2015, .560 (annual) basis points for all four quarters in 2016, and .520 (annual) basis points for all four quarters in
2017. These assessments will continue until2017 and 0.305 (annual) basis points for all four quarters in 2018. The bonds matured in 2019 and the
final FICO
bonds mature in 2017 throughassessment was on March 29, 2019.
Restrictions on transactions with affiliates
The Bank is subject to sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, or FRA, and the Federal Reserve’s Regulation W, as made applicable to state nonmember banks by section 18(j) of the FDIA. An affiliate of a bank is any company or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Bank, and, in our case, includes, among others, the Company as well as our Executive Chairman, James W. Ayers and the companies he controls. Accordingly, transactions between the Bank, on the one hand, and the Company or Mr. Ayers or any of his affiliates, on the other hand, will be subject to a number of restrictions, including restrictions relating to extensions of credit, contracts, leases and purchases or sale of assets. Such restrictions and limitations prevent the Company or Mr. Ayers or his affiliates from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by specified collateral of designated amounts. Furthermore, such secured loans by the Bank to the Company or Mr. Ayers and his affiliates are limited, individually, to ten percent (10%) of the Bank’s capital and surplus, and such secured loans are limited in the aggregate to twenty percent (20%) of the Bank’s capital and surplus.
All such transactions must be on terms that are no less favorable to the Bank than those that would be available from nonaffiliated third parties. Federal Reserve policies also forbid the payment by bank subsidiaries of management fees which are unreasonable in amount or exceed the fair market value of the services rendered or, if no market exists, actual costs plus a reasonable profit.
Loans to insiders
Loans to executive officers, directors or to any person who directly or indirectly, or acting through or in concert with one or more persons, owns, controls or has the power to vote more than 10% of any class of voting securities of a bank, which the Bank refers to as “10% Shareholders,” or to any political or campaign committee the funds or services of which will benefit those executive officers, directors, or 10% Shareholders or which is controlled by those executive officers, directors or 10% Shareholders, are subject to Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the FRA and their corresponding regulations, which are commonly referred to as Regulation O. Among other things, these loans must be made on terms substantially the same as those prevailing on transactions made to unaffiliated individuals and certain extensions of credit to those persons must first be approved in advance by a disinterested majority of the entire board of directors. Regulation O prohibits loans to any of those
individuals where the aggregate amount exceeds an amount equal to 15% of an institution’s unimpaired capital and surplus plus an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus in the case of loans that are fully secured by readily marketable collateral, or when the aggregate amount on all of the extensions of credit outstanding to all of these persons would exceed the Bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Section 22(g) identifies limited circumstances in which the Bank is permitted to extend credit to executive officers.
Community Reinvestment Act
The Community Reinvestment Act, or CRA, and its corresponding regulations are intended to encourage banks to help meet the credit needs of their service areas, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operations. These regulations provide for regulatory assessment of a bank’s record in meeting the credit needs of its service area. Federal banking agencies are required to make public a rating of a bank’s performance under the CRA. The federal banking agencies consider a bank’s CRA rating when a bank submits an application to establish banking centers, merge, or acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of another bank. In the case of a bank holding company, the CRA performance record of all banks involved in the merger or acquisition are reviewed in connection with the filing of an application to acquire ownership or control of shares or assets of a bank or to merge with any other financial holding company. An unsatisfactory record can substantially delay, block or impose conditions on the transaction. The Bank received a satisfactory rating on its most recent CRA assessment.
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, or Riegle-Neal Act, provides that adequately capitalized and managed bank holding companies are permitted to acquire banks in any state. Previously, under the Riegle-Neal Act, a bank’s ability to branch into a particular state was largely dependent upon whether the state “opted in” to de novo interstate branching. Many states did not “opt-in,” which resulted in branching restrictions in those states. The Dodd-Frank Act amended the Riegle-Neal legal framework for interstate branching to permit national banks and state banks to establish branches in any state if that state would permit the establishment of the branch by a state bank chartered in that state. Under current Tennessee law, our bank may open branch offices throughout Tennessee with the prior approval of the TDFI. All branching remains subject to applicable regulatory approval and adherence to applicable legal requirements.
Anti-money laundering and economic sanctions
The USA PATRIOT Act provides the federal government with additional powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. By way of amendments to the BSA, the USA PATRIOT Act imposed new requirements that obligate financial institutions, such as banks, to take certain steps to control the risks associated with money laundering and terrorist financing.
Among other requirements, the USA PATRIOT Act and implementing regulations require banks to establish anti-money laundering programs that include, at a minimum:
internal policies, procedures and controls designed to implement and maintain the bank’sbank's compliance with all of the requirements of the USAUSE PATRIOT Act, the BSA and related laws and regulations;
systems and procedures for monitoring and reporting of suspicious transactions and activities;
designated compliance officer;
an independent audit function to test the anti-money laundering program;
| •
| procedures to verify the identity of each client upon the opening of accounts; and |
heightened due diligence policies, procedures and controls applicable to certain foreign accounts and relationships.
Additionally, the USA PATRIOT Act requires each financial institution to develop a customer identification program (“CIP”) as part of the Bank’s anti-money laundering program. The key components of the CIP are identification, verification, government list comparison, notice and record retention. The purpose of the CIP is to enable the financial institution to determine the true identity and anticipated account activity of each client. To make this determination, among other things, the financial institution must collect certain information from clients at the time they enter into the client relationship with the financial institution. This information must be verified within a reasonable time through documentary and non-documentary methods. Furthermore, all clients must be screened against any CIP-related government lists of known or suspected terrorists. Financial institutions are also required to comply with various reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The Federal Reserve and the FDIC consider an applicant’s effectiveness in combating money laundering, among other factors, in connection with an application to approve a bank merger or acquisition of control of a bank or bank holding company.
Likewise, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, is responsible for helping to ensure that United States entities do not engage in transactions with the subjects of U.S. sanctions, as defined by various Executive Orders and Acts of Congress. Currently, OFAC administers and enforces comprehensive U.S. economic sanctions programs against certain specified countries/regions. In addition to the country/region-wide sanctions programs, OFAC also administers complete embargoes against individuals and entities identified on OFAC’s list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (“SDN List”). The SDN List includes over 7000 parties that are located in many jurisdictions throughout the world, including in the United States and Europe. The Bank is responsible for determining whether any potential and/or existing clients appear on the SDN List or are owned or controlled by a person on the SDN List. If any client appears on the SDN List or is owned or controlled by a person or entity on the SDN List, such client’s account must be placed on hold and a blocking or rejection report, as appropriate and if required, must be filed within 10 business days with OFAC. In addition, if a client is a citizen of, has provided an address in, or is organized under the laws of any country or region for which OFAC maintains a comprehensive sanctions program, the Bank must take certain actions with respect to such clients as dictated under the relevant OFAC sanctions program. The Bank must maintain compliance with OFAC by implementing appropriate policies and procedures and by establishing a recordkeeping system that is reasonably appropriate to administer the Bank’s compliance program. The Bank has adopted policies, procedures and controls to comply with the BSA, the USA PATRIOT Act and OFAC regulations.
Regulatory enforcement authority
Federal and state banking laws grant substantial enforcement powers to federal and state banking regulators. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions against banking organizations and “institution-affiliated parties,” such as management, employees and agents. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws, regulations and orders of regulatory authorities, or unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions, including filing false, misleading or untimely reports with regulatory authorities, may provide the basis for enforcement action. When issued by a banking regulator, cease-and-desist and similar orders may, among other things, require affirmative action to correct any harm resulting from a violation or practice, including restitution, reimbursement, indemnifications or guarantees against loss. A bank may also be ordered to restrict its growth, dispose of certain assets, rescind agreements or contracts, or take other actions determined to be appropriate by the ordering regulatory agency.
Federal
home loan bankHome Loan Bank system
The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, which is one of
1211 regional Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBs”). Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from funds deposited by member institutions and proceeds from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the board of directors of the FHLB.
As a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati, the Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB in an amount generally at least equal to 0.20% (or 20 basis points) of the Bank’s total assets at the end of each calendar year, plus 4.5% of its outstanding advances (borrowings) from the FHLB of Cincinnati under the activity-based stock ownership requirement. These requirements are subject to adjustment from time to time. On December 31, 2017,2019, the Bank was in compliance with this requirement.
Privacy and data security
Under the GLBA, federal banking regulators adopted rules limiting the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose nonpublic information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. The rules require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to nonaffiliated third parties. The GLBA also directed federal regulators, including the FDIC, to prescribe standards for the security of consumer information. The Bank is subject to such standards, as well as standards for notifying clients in the event of a security breach.
Consumer laws and regulations
The Bank is also subject to other federal and state consumer laws and regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. While the list set forth below is not exhaustive, these laws and regulations include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Fair and Accurate Transactions Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Military Lending Act, the Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act, and the Real Estate
Settlement Procedures Act, among others. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with consumers when offering consumer financial products and services.
Rulemaking authority for these and other consumer financial protection laws transferred from the prudential regulators to the CFPB on July 21, 2011. In some cases, regulators such as the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice also retain certain rulemaking or enforcement authority. The CFPB also has broad authority to prohibit unfair, deceptive and abusive acts and practices (“UDAAP”), and to investigate and penalize financial institutions that violate this prohibition. While the statutory language of the Dodd-Frank Act sets forth the standards for acts and practices that violate the prohibition on UDAAP, certain aspects of these standards are untested, and thus it is currently not possible to predict how the CFPB will exercise this authority. In addition, consumer compliance examination authority remains with the prudential regulators for smaller depository institutions ($10 billion or less in total assets).
The Dodd-Frank Act also authorized the CFPB to establish certain minimum standards for the origination of residential mortgages, including a determination of the borrower’s ability to repay. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, financial institutions may not make a residential mortgage loan unless they make a “reasonable and good faith determination” that the consumer has a “reasonable ability” to repay the loan. The act allows borrowers to raise certain defenses to foreclosure but provides a full or partial safe harbor from such defenses for loans that are “qualified mortgages.” On January 10, 2013, the CFPB published final rules to, among other things, specify the types of income and assets that may be considered in the ability-to-repay determination, the permissible sources for verification, and the required methods of calculating the loan’s monthly payments. Since then the CFPB made certain modifications to these rules. The rules extend the requirement that creditors verify and document a borrower’s “income and assets” to include all “information” that creditors rely on in determining repayment ability. The rules also provide further examples of third-party documents that may be relied on for such verification, such as government records and check-cashing or funds-transfer service receipts. The new rules were effective beginning on January 10, 2014. The rules also define “qualified mortgages,” imposing both underwriting standards—for example, a borrower’s debt-to-income ratio may not exceed 43%—and limits on the terms of their loans. Points and fees are subject to a relatively stringent cap, and the terms include a wide array of payments that may be made in the course of closing a loan. Certain loans, including interest-only loans and negative amortization loans, cannot be qualified mortgages.
Other Dodd-Frank Act reforms
The Volcker Rule generally prohibits a “banking entity” (which includes any insured depository institution, such as the Bank, or any affiliate or subsidiary of such depository institution, such as the Company) from (i) engaging in proprietary trading and (ii) acquiring or retaining any ownership interest in, sponsoring, or engaging in certain transactions with, a “covered fund”. Both the proprietary trading and covered fund-related prohibitions are subject to a number of exemptions and exclusions. The final regulations contain exemptions for, among others, market making, risk-mitigating hedging, underwriting, and trading in U.S. government and agency obligations and also permit certain ownership interests in certain types of funds to be retained. They also permit the offering and sponsoring of funds under certain conditions. In addition, the final regulations impose significant compliance and reporting obligations on banking entities.
Banking entities were required to conform their proprietary trading activities and investments in and relationships with covered funds that were in place after December 31, 2013 by July 21, 2015. For those banking entities whose investments in and relationships with covered funds were in place prior to December 31, 2013 (“legacy covered funds”), the Volcker Rule conformance period was recently extended by the Federal Reserve to July 21, 2017 for such legacy covered funds. In addition, the Federal Reserve has also indicated its intention to grant two additional one-year extensions of the conformance period to July 21, 2017, for banking entities to conform ownership interests in and sponsorship of activities of collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, that are backed in part by non-loan assets and that were in place as of December 31, 2013.
Executive compensation and corporate governance
The Dodd-Frank Act requires public companies to include, at least once every three years, a separate non-binding “say on pay” vote in their proxy statement by which shareholders may vote on the compensation of the public company’s named executive officers. In addition, if such public companies are involved in a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, or if they propose to sell or dispose of all or substantially all of their assets, shareholders have a right to an advisory vote on any golden parachute arrangements in connection with such transaction (frequently referred to as “say-on-golden parachute” vote).
Once the Company no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, we will be subject to the say-on-pay and say-on-golden-parachute requirements. Other provisions of the act may impact our corporate governance. For instance, the act requires the SEC to adopt rules prohibiting the listing of any equity security of a company that does not have an independent compensation committee; and requiring all exchange-traded companies to adopt clawback policies for incentive compensation paid to executive officers in the event of accounting restatements based on material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements.
Future legislative developments
Various legislative acts are from time to time introduced in Congress and the Tennessee legislature. This legislation may change banking statutes and the environment in which we operate in substantial and unpredictable ways. We cannot determine the ultimate effect that potential legislation, if enacted, or implementing regulations and interpretations with respect thereto, would have our financial condition or results of operations.

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the material risks described below. Many of these risks are beyond our control although efforts are made to manage those risks while simultaneously optimizing operational and financial results. The occurrence of any of the following risks, as well as risks of which we are currently unaware or currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our assets, business, cash flows, condition (financial or otherwise), liquidity, prospects, results of operations and the trading price of our common stock. It is impossible to predict or identify all such factors and, as a result, you should not consider the following factors to be a complete discussion of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could materially and adversely affect our assets, business, cash flows, condition (financial or otherwise), liquidity, prospects, results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.
In addition, certain statements in the following risk factors constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements” beginning on page 2 of this Annual Report.
Risks related to our business
Difficult or volatile conditions in the national financial markets, the U.S. economy generally, or the state of Tennessee in particular may adversely affect our lending activity or other businesses, as well as our financial condition.
Our business concentrationand financial performance are vulnerable to weak economic conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions generally or specifically in the state of Tennessee, imposes risksthe principal market in which we conduct business. A deterioration in economic conditions in our primary market areas could result in the following consequences, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business: increased loan delinquencies; problem assets and foreclosures; significant write-downs of asset values; lower demand for our products and services; reduced low cost or noninterest-bearing deposits; intangible asset impairment; and collateral for loans made by us, especially real estate, may decline in value, in turn reducing our customers' ability to repay outstanding loans, and reducing the value of assets and collateral associated with our existing loans. Additional issues surrounding weakening economic conditions and volatile markets that could adversely impact us include:
Increased regulation of our industry, and resulting from any regional or localincreased costs associated with regulatory compliance and potential limits on our ability to pursue business opportunities;
Our ability to assess the creditworthiness of our customers may be impaired if the models and approaches we use to select, manage, and underwrite our customers become less predictive of future performance;
The process we use to estimate losses inherent in our loan portfolio requires difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, including forecasts of economic
downturn affecting Tennessee.Weconditions and how these economic predictions might impair the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans, and process may no longer be capable of accurate estimation and may, in turn, impact its reliability;
Downward pressure on our stock price.
Additionally, we conduct our banking operations primarily in Tennessee. As of December 31,
2017,2019, approximately
77%76% of our loans and approximately
88%83% of our deposits were made to borrowers or received from depositors who live and/or primarily conduct business in Tennessee. Therefore, our success will depend in large part upon the general economic conditions in this
area, which we cannot predict with certainty.area. This geographic concentration imposes risks from lack of geographic diversification, as adverse economic developments in Tennessee (including the Nashville MSA, our largest market), among other things, could affect the volume of loan originations, increase the level of nonperforming assets, increase the rate of foreclosure losses on loans, reduce the value of our loans and loan servicing portfolio, reduce the value of the collateral securing our loans and reduce the amount of our deposits.
Any regional or local economic downturn that affects Tennessee or existing or prospective borrowers, depositors or property values in this area may affect us and our profitability more significantly and more adversely than our competitors whose operations are less geographically concentrated.
We face strong competition from financial services companies and other companies that offer banking services.
We conduct our banking operations primarily in Tennessee, with our largest market being the Nashville MSA, which is a highly competitive banking market. Many of our competitors offer the same, or a wider variety of, banking services within our market areas, and we compete with them for the same customers. These competitors include banks with nationwide operations, regional banks and community banks. In many instances these national and regional banks have greater resources than we do, and the smaller community banks may have stronger ties in local markets than we do, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage. We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including thrift institutions, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, credit unions, mortgage banks and other
internet-based companies offering financial
intermediaries.services which enjoy fewer regulatory constraints and some may have lower cost structures. In addition, a number of out-of-state financial institutions have opened offices and solicit deposits in our market areas. Increased competition in our markets may result in reduced loans and deposits, as well as reduced net interest margin and profitability. If we are unable to attract and retain banking customers, we may be unable to continue to grow our loan and deposit portfolios, and our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.
Further, a number of larger banks have recently entered the Nashville MSA, and we believe this trend will continue as banks look to gain a foothold in this growing market. This trend will likely result in greater competition in, and may impair our ability to grow our share of our largest market.
If we do not effectively manage our asset quality and credit risk, we could experience loan losses.
Making any loan involves various risks, 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 market conditions. Our credit risk approval and monitoring procedures may fail to identify or reduce these credit risks, and they cannot completely eliminate all credit risks related to our loan portfolio. If the overall economic climate, including employment rates, real estate markets, interest rates and general economic growth, in the United States, generally, or Tennessee (particularly the Nashville MSA), specifically, experiences material disruption, our borrowers may experience difficulties in repaying their loans, the collateral we hold may decrease in value or become illiquid, and the levels of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require additional provisions for loan losses, which would cause our net income and return on equity to decrease.
Our provision and
If our allowance for
creditloan losses
may(including the fair value adjustments with respect to loans acquired in acquisitions) is not
be adequateenough to cover
actual credit losses.We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability oflosses inherent in our loan portfolio, our results of operations and lease portfolio and utilize these assumptions and judgments when determining the provision andfinancial condition could be negatively affected.
We maintain an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of inherent losses that have been incurred in our existing loan portfolio. The level of the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of factors including the volume and types of loans; industry concentrations; specific credit losses.risks; internal loan classifications; trends in classifications; volume and trends in delinquencies, non-accruals and charge-offs; present economic, political and regulatory conditions; industry and peer bank loan quality indications; and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level of the provisionallowance for creditloan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity in our modeling and requires us to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes.changes or vary from our historical experience. Deterioration in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may require an increase in the amount reservedallowance for loan losses.
The application of the purchase method of accounting in our acquisitions (and any future acquisitions) also will affect our allowance for loan losses. Under the purchase method of accounting, all acquired loans were recorded in our consolidated financial statements at their estimated fair value at the time of acquisition and any related allowance for loan loss was eliminated because credit quality, among other factors, was considered in the determination of fair value. To the extent that our estimates of fair value are too high, we will incur losses associated with the acquired loans. The allowance forassociated with our purchased credit losses. impaired loans reflects deterioration in cash flows after they were acquired resulting from our quarterly re-estimation of cash flows, which involves complex cash flow projections and significant judgment on timing of loan resolution.
In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our provision and the total allowance for creditloan losses and may require an increase in the allowanceprovision for creditloan losses or future provisions for credit losses,the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. Furthermore, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses, we will need additional provisions to
increase the allowance for loan losses. Any increases in the provision or allowance for creditloan losses will result in a decrease in our net income and, potentially,possibly, capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition orand results of operations.
We implemented CECL on January 1, 2020, which will result in an increase to the allowance for credit losses. In future periods, CECL may result in increased reserves during or in advance of an economic downturn. Because CECL recognizes the expected losses over the life of the loan at the time the loan is made, it is possible that CECL implementation may increase the cost of lending in the industry and result in slower loan growth and lower levels of net income and capital. The adoption of the CECL model may materially affect how we determine our allowance for credit losses and could require us to significantly increase our allowance. Moreover, the CECL model may create more volatility in the level of our allowance for credit losses. If we are required to materially increase our level of allowance for credit losses for any reason, such increase could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
See the section captioned “Allowance for Loan Losses” in Part II, Item 7 of this Report “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion related to our process for determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses.
Because a significant portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of real estate loans, negative changes in the economy affecting real estate values and liquidity could impair the value of collateral securing our real estate loans and result in loan and other losses.
As of December 31,
2017,2019, approximately
73%72% of our loan portfolio was comprised of loans with real estate as a primary or secondary component of collateral. This includes collateral consisting of income producing and residential construction properties, which properties tend to be more sensitive to general economic conditions and downturns in real estate markets. As a result, adverse developments affecting real estate values in our market areas could increase the credit risk associated with our real estate loan portfolio. Adverse changes affecting real estate values and the liquidity of real estate in one or more of our markets could increase the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio and could result in losses that would adversely affect credit quality and our financial condition or results of operations. These adverse changes could significantly impair the value of property pledged as collateral to secure the loans and affect our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure without a loss or additional losses. If real estate values decline, it is also more likely that we would be required to increase our allowance for loan losses. Thus, declines in the value of real estate collateral could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We are exposed to higher credit risk
byfrom commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and construction based lending.
Commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and construction based lending usually involves higher credit risks than 1-4 family residential real estate lending. As of December 31,
2017,2019, the following loan types accounted for the stated percentages of our loan portfolio: commercial real estate (both owner-occupied and non-owner occupied) -
33%35%; commercial and industrial - 23%; and construction -
14%13%. These loans expose us to greater credit risk than loans secured by other types of collateral because the collateral securing these loans is typically more difficult to liquidate. Additionally, these types of loans also often involve larger loan balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers. These higher credit risks are further heightened when the loans are concentrated in a small number of larger borrowers leading to relationship exposure.
Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans may be affected to a greater extent than residential loans by adverse conditions in real estate markets or the economy because commercial real estate borrowers’ ability to repay their loans depends on successful development of their properties. These loans also involve greater risk because they generally are not fully amortizing over the loan period, and therefore have a balloon payment due at maturity. A borrower’s ability to make a balloon payment typically will depend on being able to either refinance the loan or sell the underlying property in a timely manner. In addition, banking regulators have been giving commercial real estate lending greater scrutiny, and may require banks with higher levels of commercial real estate loans to implement improved underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, as well as possibly higher levels of allowances for losses and capital levels as a result of commercial real estate lending growth and exposures.
Commercial and industrial loans and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are typically based on the borrowers’ ability to repay the loans from the cash flow of their businesses. These loans may involve greater risk because the availability of funds to repay each loan depends substantially on the success of the business itself. In addition, the assets securing the loans depreciate over time, are difficult to appraise and liquidate, and fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon whether our initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction or development equals or exceeds the cost of the property construction or development (including interest), the availability of permanent take-out financing and the builder’s ability to sell the property. During the construction or development phase, a number of factors can result in delays and cost overruns. If estimates of value are inaccurate or if
actual construction costs exceed estimates, the value of the property securing the loan may be insufficient to ensure full repayment when completed through a permanent loan or by foreclosure on collateral.
Commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and construction loans are more susceptible to a risk of loss during a downturn in the business cycle due to the vulnerability of these sectors during a downturn. Our underwriting, review and monitoring cannot eliminate all of the risks related to these loans.
We also make both secured and unsecured loans to our commercial customers. Unsecured loans generally involve a higher degree of risk of loss than secured loans because, without collateral, repayment is wholly dependent upon the success of the borrowers’ businesses. Because of this lack of collateral, we are limited in our ability to collect on defaulted unsecured loans. Further, the collateral that secures our secured commercial and industrial loans typically includes inventory, accounts receivable and equipment, which usually have a value that is insufficient to satisfy the loan without a loss if the business does not succeed.
Our loan concentration in these sectors and their higher credit risk could lead to increased losses on these loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We are exposed to higher credit risk due to relationship exposure with a number of large borrowers.
As of December 31,
2017,2019, we had
4336 borrowing relationships in excess of $10 million
but less than $15 million and 37 relationships greater than $15 million which accounted for approximately
10% and 19% of our loan
portfolio.portfolio, respectively. While we are not overly dependent on any one of these relationships and while
none of these
largecredit relationships have
directly impacted ournot had a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses in the past, a deterioration of any of these large credits could require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or result in significant losses to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Our deposit portfolio includes significant concentrations and a large percentage of our deposits are attributable to a relatively small number of clients.
As a commercial bank, we provide services to a number of clients whose deposit levels may vary considerably and have seasonality based on their nature. At December 31, 2019, seven commercial and individual clients, maintained balances (aggregating all related accounts, including multiple business entities and personal funds of business owners) in excess of $25.0 million, which amounted to $351.4 million in total deposits at December 31, 2019. These clients are not concentrated in any particular industry or business but include certain related parties of the Company. In addition, mortgage escrow deposits that our third-party servicing provider, Cenlar, transfer to the Bank totaled $92.6 million at December 31, 2019. Further, our deposits from municipal and governmental entities (i.e., “public deposits”) totaled $463.1 million at December 31, 2019. Of these public deposits, one public entity maintained balances in excess of $25.0 million at December 31, 2019 totaling $63.1 million. These deposits can and do fluctuate substantially. The loss of any combination of these depositors, or a significant decline in the deposit balances due to unexpected fluctuations related to these customers’ businesses, would adversely affect our liquidity and may require us to raise deposit rates to quickly attract new customer deposits, purchase brokered deposits, purchase federal funds or borrow funds on a short-term basis to replace such deposits. Depending on the interest rate environment and competitive factors, lower cost deposits may need to be replaced with higher cost funding, resulting in a decrease in net interest income and net income. While these events could have a material impact on the Bank’s results, the Bank expects, in the ordinary course of business, that these deposits will fluctuate and believes it is capable of mitigating this risk, as well as the risk of losing one of these depositors, through additional liquidity, and business generation in the future. However, should a significant number of these customers leave the Bank, it could have a material adverse impact on the Bank.
We make loans to small-to-medium sized businesses that may not have the resources to weather a downturn in the economy.
We make loans to privately-owned businesses, many of which are considered to be small to medium-sized businesses. Small to medium-sized businesses frequently have smaller market share than their competition, may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, often need substantial additional capital to expand or compete and may experience significant volatility in operating results. Any one or more of these factors may impair the borrower’s ability to repay a loan. In addition, the success of a small to medium-sized business often depends on the management talents and efforts of one or two persons or a small group of persons, and the death, disability or resignation of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on the business and its ability to repay a loan. Economic downturns, a sustained decline in commodity prices and other events that negatively impact small businesses in our market areas could cause us to incur substantial credit losses that could negatively affect our results of operations or financial condition.
We may be materially and adversely affected by the creditworthiness and liquidity of other financial institutions.
Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, or other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including commercial banks, brokers and dealers, investment banks and other institutional customers. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of a default by, or questions or concerns about the creditworthiness of, a counterparty or client, or concerns about the financial services industry generally. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the credit or derivative exposure due to us. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on us.
A lack of liquidity could adversely affect our operations and jeopardize our
liquidity, business, financial condition or results of operations.
We rely on our ability to generate deposits and effectively manage the repayment and maturity schedules of our loans and investment securities to ensure that we have adequate liquidity to fund our operations. In addition to our traditional funding sources, we also may borrow funds from third-party lenders or issue equity or debt securities to investors. 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.
Our liquidity may also be adversely impacted if there is a decline in our mortgage revenues from higher prevailing interest rates. Any decline in available funding could adversely impact our ability to originate loans, invest in securities, meet our expenses, pay dividends to our shareholders, or to 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 or results of operations.
We may not be able to meet our unfunded credit commitments, or adequately reserve for losses associated with our unfunded credit commitments.
A commitment to extend credit is a formal agreement to lend funds to a client as long as there is no violation of any condition established under the agreement. The actual borrowing needs of our customers under these credit commitments have historically been lower than the contractual amount of the commitments. A significant portion of these commitments expire without being drawn upon. Because of the credit profile of our customers, we typically have a substantial amount of total unfunded credit commitments, which is not reflected on our balance sheet. Actual borrowing needs of our customers may exceed our expected funding requirements, especially during a challenging economic environment when our client companies may be more dependent on our credit commitments due to the lack of available credit elsewhere, the increasing costs of credit, or the limited availability of financings from other sources. Any failure to meet our unfunded credit commitments in accordance with the actual borrowing needs of our customers may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation.
Changes in interest rates could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our earnings and financial condition are dependent to a large degree upon net interest income, which is the difference, or spread, between interest earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. When market rates of interest change, the interest we receive on our assets and the interest we pay on our liabilities may fluctuate. This may cause decreases in our spread and may adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors including, without limitation:
•
Federal monetary policies; and
•
Stability of domestic and foreign
markets.markets
Although we have implemented procedures we believe will reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on our net interest income, these procedures may not always be successful. Accordingly, changes in levels of market interest rates could materially and adversely affect our net interest income and our net interest margin, asset quality, loan and lease origination volume, liquidity or overall profitability.
Additionally, changes in interest rates can adversely impact the origination of mortgage loans held for sale and resulting mortgage banking revenues.
A transition away from LIBOR as a reference rate for financial contracts could negatively affect our income and expenses and the value of various financial contracts.
LIBOR is used extensively in the United States and globally as a benchmark for various commercial and financial contracts, including adjustable rate mortgages, corporate debt, interest rate swaps and other derivatives. LIBOR is set based on interest rate information reported by certain banks, which may stop reporting such information after 2021. It is uncertain at this time whether LIBOR will change or cease to exist or the extent to which those entering into financial contracts will transition to
any other particular benchmark. Other benchmarks may perform differently than LIBOR or alternative benchmarks have performed in the past or have other consequences that cannot currently be anticipated. It is also uncertain what will happen with instruments that rely on LIBOR for future interest rate adjustments and which remain outstanding if LIBOR ceases to exist.
We have a significant number of loans, derivative contracts, borrowings and other financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR. The transition from LIBOR could create considerable costs and additional risk. Since proposed alternative rates are calculated differently, payments under contracts referencing new rates will differ from those referencing LIBOR. The transition will change our market risk profiles, requiring changes to risk and pricing models, valuation tools, product design and hedging strategies. Furthermore, failure to adequately manage this transition process with our customers could adversely impact our reputation. Although we are currently unable to assess what the ultimate impact of the transition from LIBOR will be, failure to adequately manage the transition could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to grow our noninterest income, our growth prospects will be impaired.
Taking advantage of opportunities to develop new, and expand existing, streams of noninterest income, including our mortgage business, cash management services, investment services and interchange fees, is a part of our long-term growth strategy. If we are unsuccessful in our attempts to grow our noninterest income, especially in light of the expected
decline incontinued competitive pressure on mortgage revenues
from the interest rate environment, our long-term growth will be impaired. Further, focusing on these noninterest income streams may divert management’s attention and resources away from our core banking business, which could impair our core business, financial condition and operating results. We also derive a meaningful amount of our noninterest income from non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees, and such fees are subject to increased regulatory scrutiny, which could result in an erosion of such fees, and as a result, materially impair our future noninterest income.
Additionally, interchange revenues from electronic transfers will be limited after exceeding $10 billion in total assets under the Durbin Amendment.
Our recent results may not be indicative of our future results.
We may not be able to grow our business at the same rate of growth achieved in recent years or even grow our business at all. In the future, we may not have the benefit of several factors that have been favorable to the growth of our business in past years, such as an interest rate environment where changes in rates occur at a relatively orderly and modest pace and the ability to find suitable expansion opportunities and acquisition targets. Numerous factors, such as weakening or deteriorating economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations, and competition may impede or restrict our ability to expand our market presence and build our franchise. Even if we are able to grow our business, we may fail to build the infrastructure sufficient to support such growth, suffer loan losses in excess of reserves for such losses or experience other risks associated with growth.
Our future success is largely dependent upon our ability to successfully execute our business strategy.
Our future success, including our ability to achieve our growth and profitability goals, is dependent on the ability of our management team to execute on our long-term business strategy, which requires them to, among other things:
maintain and enhance our reputation;
attract and retain experienced and talented bankers in each of our markets;
maintain adequate funding sources, including by continuing to attract stable, low-costow-cost deposits;
enhance our market penetration in our metropolitan markets and maintain our leadership position in our community markets;
improve our operating efficiency;
implement new technologies to enhance the client experience and keep pace with our competitors;
identify attractive acquisition targets, close on such acquisitions on favorable terms and successfully integrate acquired businesses;
attract and maintain business banking relationships with well-qualified businesses, real estate developers and investors with proven track records in our market areas;
attract sufficient loans that meet prudent credit standards;
| •
| attract sufficient loans that meet prudent credit standards;
|
originate conforming residential mortgage loans for resale into secondary markets to provide mortgage banking income;
maintain adequate liquidity and regulatory capital and comply with applicable federal and state banking laws and regulations;
manage our credit, interest rate and liquidity risk;
develop new, and grow our existing streams of noninterest income;
oversee the performance of third-party vendors that provide material services to our business; and
control expenses in line with their current projections.
Failure of management to execute our business strategy could negatively impact our business, growth prospects, financial condition or results of operations. Further, if we do not manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be negatively affected, and we may not be able to continue to implement our business strategy and successfully conduct our operations.
We may not be able to complete future financial institution acquisitions.
From time to time, we evaluate and engage in the acquisition of other banking organizations. We must satisfy a number of meaningful conditions before we can complete an acquisition of another bank or bank holding company, including federal and state bank regulatory approvals. The process for obtaining required regulatory approvals can be time-consuming and unpredictable and is subject to numerous regulatory and policy factors, a number of which are beyond our control. We may fail to pursue or to complete strategic and competitively significant acquisition opportunities as a result of the perceived difficulty or impossibility of obtaining required regulatory approvals in a timely manner or at all.
Our strategy of pursuing acquisitions exposes us to financial, execution, compliance and operational risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
We intend to continue pursuing a strategy that includes acquisitions. An acquisition strategy involves significant risks, including the following:
finding suitable candidates for acquisition;
attracting funding to support additional growth within acceptable risk tolerances;
maintaining asset quality;
retaining customers and key personnel, including bankers;
obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, which we may have difficulty obtaining or be unable to obtain;
conducting adequate due diligence and managing known and unknown risks and uncertainties;
integrating acquired businesses; and
maintaining adequate regulatory capital
The market for acquisition targets is highly competitive, which may adversely affect our ability to find acquisition candidates that fit our strategy and standards. We face significant competition in pursuing acquisition targets from other banks and financial institutions, many of which possess greater financial, human, technical and other resources than we do. Our ability to compete in acquiring target institutions will depend on our available financial resources to fund the acquisitions, including the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have and the liquidity and market price of our common stock. In addition, increased competition may also drive up the acquisition consideration that we will be required to pay in order to successfully capitalize on attractive acquisition opportunities. To the extent that we are unable to find suitable acquisition targets, an important component of our growth strategy may not be realized.
Acquisitions of financial institutions also involve operational risks and uncertainties, such as unknown or contingent liabilities with no available manner of recourse, exposure to unexpected problems such as asset quality, the retention of key employees and customers, and other issues that could negatively affect our business. We may not be able to complete future acquisitions or, if completed, we may not be able to successfully integrate the operations, technology platforms, management, products and services of the entities that we acquire or to realize our attempts to eliminate redundancies. The integration process may also require significant time and attention from our management that would otherwise be directed toward servicing existing business and developing new business. Failure to successfully integrate the entities we acquire into our existing operations in a timely manner may increase our operating costs significantly and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, acquisitions typically involve the payment of a premium over book and market values and, therefore, some dilution of our tangible book value and net income per common share may occur in connection with any future acquisition, and the carrying amount of any goodwill that we currently maintain or may acquire may be subject to impairment in future periods.
If we continue to grow, we will face risks arising from our increased size. If we do not manage such growth effectively, we may be unable to realize the benefit from the investments in technology, infrastructure and personnel that we have made to support our expansion. In addition, we may incur higher costs and realize less revenue growth than we expect, which would reduce our earnings and diminish our future prospects, and we may not be able to continue to implement our business strategy and successfully conduct our operations. Risks associated with failing to maintain effective financial and operational controls as we grow, such as maintaining appropriate loan underwriting procedures, information technology systems, determining adequate allowances for loan losses and complying with regulatory accounting requirements, including increased loan losses, reduced earnings and potential regulatory penalties and restrictions on growth, all could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Acquisitions may disrupt our business and dilute stockholder value, and integrating acquired companies may be more difficult, costly, or time-consuming than we expect.
Our pursuit of acquisitions may disrupt our business, and any equity that we issue as merger consideration may have the effect of diluting the value of your investment. In addition, we may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of completed acquisitions. We anticipate that the integration of businesses that we may acquire in the future will be a time-consuming and expensive process, even if the integration process is effectively planned and implemented.
In addition, our acquisition activities could be material to our business and involve a number of significant risks, including the following:
incurring time and expense associated with identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions and negotiating potential transactions, resulting in our attention being diverted from the operating of our existing business;
using inaccurate estimates and judgments to evaluate credit, operations, management, and market risks with respect to the target company or the assets and liabilities that we seek to acquire;
exposure to potential asset quality issues of the target company;
changes to interest rates and/or economic conditions generally may cause significant changes in the fair value of the assets and liabilities that we acquire;
intense competition from other banking organizations and other potential acquirers, many of which have substantially greater resources than we do;
potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of banks and businesses we acquire, including, without limitation, liabilities for regulatory and compliance issues;
inability to realize the expected revenue increases, cost savings, increases in geographic or product presence, an other projected benefits of the acquisition;
incurring time and expense required to integrate the operations and personnel of the combined businesses;
inconsistencies in standards, procedures, and policies that would adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees;
experiencing higher operating expenses relative to operating income from the new operations;
creating an adverse short-term effect on our results of operations;
losing key employees and customers;
significant problems related to the conversion of the financial and customer data of the entity;
integration of acquired customers into our financial and customer product systems;
potential changes in banking or tax laws or regulations that may affect the target company; or
risks of impairment to goodwill.
If difficulties arise with respect to the integration process, the economic benefits expected to result from acquisitions might not occur. As with any merger of financial institutions, there also may be business disruptions that cause us to lose customers or cause customers to move their business to other financial institutions. Failure to successfully integrate businesses that we acquire could have an adverse effect on our profitability, return on equity, return on assets, or our ability to implement our strategy, any of which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The value of our Mortgage servicing rights asset is subjective by nature and may be vulnerable to inaccuracies or other events outside our control.
The value of our mortgage servicing rights asset can fluctuate. Particularly, the asset could decrease in value if prepay speeds, delinquency rates, or the cost to service increases or overall values decrease causing a lack of liquidity of MSRs in the market. Similarly, the value may decrease if interest rates decrease or change in a non-parallel manner or are otherwise volatile. All of which are mostly out of FirstBank’s control. We must use estimates, assumptions and judgments when valuing this asset. An inaccurate valuation, or changes to the valuation due to factors outside of our control, could negatively impact our ability to realize the full value of this asset. As a result, our balance sheet may not precisely represent the fair market value of this and other financial assets.
We are dependent on U.S. government‑sponsored entities and government agencies, and any changes in these entities, their current roles or the leadership at such entities or their regulators could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Our ability to generate revenues through mortgage loan sales depends on programs administered by GSEs, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, government agencies, including Ginnie Mae, and others that facilitate the issuance of mortgage‑backed securities (“MBS”), in the secondary market. Presently, almost all of the newly originated loans that we originate directly with borrowers qualify under existing standards for inclusion in MBS issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae. A number of legislative proposals have been introduced in recent years that would wind down or phase out the GSEs, including a proposal by the current White House administration to end the conservatorship and privatize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It is not possible to predict the scope and nature of the actions that the U.S. government, will ultimately
take with respect to the GSEs. Any changes in laws and regulations affecting the relationship between Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and their regulators or the U.S. federal government, and any changes in leadership at these entities, could adversely affect our business and prospects. Any discontinuation of, or significant reduction in, the operation of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or any significant adverse change in their capital structure, financial condition, activity levels in the primary or secondary mortgage markets or in underwriting criteria could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Elimination of the traditional roles of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or any changes to the nature or extent of the guarantees provided by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or the fees, terms and guidelines that govern our selling and servicing relationships with them, could also materially and adversely affect our ability to sell and securitize loans through our loan production segment, and the performance, liquidity and market value of our investments. Moreover, any changes to the nature of the GSEs or their guarantee obligations could redefine what constitutes an Agency MBS and could have broad adverse implications for the market and our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
We follow a relationship-based operating model, and our ability to maintain our reputation is critical to the success of our business.
We are a community bank, and our reputation is one of the most valuable components of our business. As such, we strive to conduct our business in a manner that enhances our reputation. This is done, in part, by recruiting, hiring and retaining bankers and other associates who share our core values of being an integral part of the communities we serve, delivering superior service to our customers and caring about our customers and associates. Further, maintaining our reputation also depends on our ability to protect our brand and associated intellectual property. If our reputation is negatively affected by the actions of our associates or otherwise, our business and, therefore, our operating results may be materially and adversely affected.
We depend on our executive officers and other key individuals to continue the implementation of our long-term business strategy and could be harmed by the loss of their services and our inability to make up for such loss with qualified replacements.
We believe that our continued growth and future success will depend in large part on the skills of our senior management team and our ability to motivate and retain these individuals and other key individuals. The loss of any member of our senior management team could reduce our ability to successfully implement our long-term business strategy, our business could suffer and the value of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected.
The success of our operating model is largely dependent on our ability to attract and retain talented bankers in each of our markets.
We strive to attract and retain talented bankers in each of our markets by fostering an entrepreneurial environment, empowering them with local decision making authority and providing them with sufficient infrastructure and resources to support their growth while also providing management with appropriate oversight. However, the competition for bankers in each of our markets is intense. We compete for talent with both smaller banks that may be able to offer bankers more responsibility, autonomy and local relationships and larger banks that may be able to offer bankers higher compensation, resources and support. As a result, we may not be able to effectively compete for talent across our markets. Further, our bankers may leave us to work for our competitors and, in some instances, may take important banking relationships with them. If we are unable to attract and retain talented bankers in our markets, our business, growth prospects or financial results could be materially and adversely affected.
We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits from previously acquired financial institutions or institutions that we may acquire in the future, or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. We may also encounter significant difficulties in integrating financial institutions that we acquire.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition of other financial institutions, bank branches and/or mortgage operations in target markets will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to successfully integrate the acquired businesses. Such an acquisition strategy will involve significant risks, including the following:
finding suitable markets for expansion;
finding suitable candidates for acquisition;
finding suitable financing sources to fund acquisitions;
| •
| finding suitable financing sources to fund acquisitions;
|
attracting and retaining qualified management;
maintaining adequate regulatory capital;
obtaining federal and state regulatory approvals; and
closing on suitable acquisitions on terms that are favorable to us.
The integration and combination of the acquired businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. As a result, we may be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating business practices and operations. The integration process may disrupt our business and the business of the acquired bank and, if implemented
ineffectively, would restrict the full realization of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. The failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating acquired businesses and to fully realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Further, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in completing any future acquisitions or integrations, or that we will not incur disruptions or unexpected expenses in negotiating or consummating such acquisitions or integrations. Additionally, in attempting to make such acquisitions, we anticipate competing with other financial institutions, some of which have greater financial and operational resources.
Our lending limit may restrict our growth and prevent us from effectively implementing our business strategy. We are limited by law in the amount we can loan in the aggregate to a single borrower or related borrowers by the amount of our capital. Tennessee’s legal lending limit is intended to prevent one person or a relatively small and economically related group of persons from borrowing an unduly large amount of a bank’s funds. It is also intended to safeguard a bank’s depositors by diversifying the risk of loan losses among a relatively large number of creditworthy borrowers engaged in various types of businesses. Based upon our capitalization at December 31,
2017,2019, our legal lending limits were approximately
$66$89 million (15% of capital and surplus) and
$111$148 million (25% of capital and surplus). Therefore, based upon our current capital levels, the amount we may lend may be significantly less than that of many of our larger competitors and may discourage potential borrowers who have credit needs in excess of our lending limit from doing business with us. We may accommodate larger loans by selling participations in those loans to other financial institutions, but this strategy may not always be available. In addition to these legally imposed lending limits, we also employ appropriate limits on our overall loan portfolio and requirements with respect to certain types of lending and individual lending relationships. If we are unable to compete effectively for loans from our target customers, we may not be able to effectively implement our business strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
Our funding sources may prove insufficient to support our future growth.
Deposits, cash flows from operations (including from our mortgage business) and investment securities for sale are the primary sources of funds for our lending activities and general business purposes. However, from time to time we also obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, purchase federal funds, engage in overnight borrowing from the Federal Reserve and correspondent banks and sell loans. While we believe our current funding sources to be adequate, our future growth may be severely constrained if we are unable to maintain our access to funding or if adequate financing is not available on acceptable terms to accommodate future growth, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The performance of our investment securities portfolio is subject to fluctuation due to changes in interest rates and market conditions, including credit deterioration of the issuers of individual securities.
Changes in interest rates may negatively affect both the returns on and
marketfair value of our investment securities. Interest rate volatility can reduce unrealized gains or increase unrealized losses in our portfolio. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors including monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political issues, and other factors beyond our control. Additionally, actual investment income and cash flows from investment securities that carry prepayment risk, such as mortgage-backed securities and callable securities, may materially differ from those anticipated at the time of investment or subsequently as a result of changes in interest rates and market conditions. These occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our net interest income or our results of operations.
Decreased residential mortgage origination volume and pricing decisions of competitors may adversely affect our profitability.
Our mortgage operation originates,
and sells
residential mortgage loans,and services residential mortgage
loans, and provides third-party origination services to other community banks and mortgage companies.loans. Changes in interest rates, housing prices, applicable government regulations and pricing decisions by our loan competitors may adversely affect demand for our residential mortgage loan products, the revenue realized on the sale of loans, the revenues received from servicing such loans for others and, ultimately, reduce our net income. New regulations, increased regulatory reviews, and/or changes in the structure of the secondary mortgage markets which we utilize to sell mortgage loans may increase costs and make it more difficult to operate a residential mortgage origination business. Our revenue from the mortgage banking
business was $116.9$100.9 million in 2017.2019. This revenue could significantly decline in future periods if interest rates were to continue risingrise and the other risks highlighted in this paragraph were realized, which may adversely affect our profitability.
Our mortgage banking profitability could significantly decline if we are not able to originate and resell a high volume of mortgage loans and securities.
Mortgage production, especially refinancing activity, declines in rising interest rate environments. Our mortgage origination volume could be materially and adversely affected by rising interest rates. We expect to see declining origination volume in 2018 across the industry. Moreover, when interest rates increase, further, there can be no assurance that our mortgage production will continue at current levels. Further, nearlyover half of our mortgages are originatedmortgage volume is through our consumer direct internet delivery channel, which targets national customers. As a result, loan originations through this channel are particularly susceptible to the interest rate environment and the national housing market. Because we sell a substantial portion of the mortgage loans we originate, the profitability of our mortgage banking business also depends in
large part on our ability to aggregate a high volume of loans and sell them in the secondary market at a gain. In fact,
aswhen rates rise, we expect increasing industry-wide competitive pressures related to changing market conditions to reduce
our pricing margins and mortgage revenues generally. If our level of mortgage production declines, our continued profitability will depend upon our ability to reduce our costs commensurate with the reduction of revenue from our mortgage operations. If we are unable to do so, our continued profitability may be materially and adversely affected.
We may incur costs, liabilities, fines and other sanctions if we fail to satisfy our mortgage loan servicing obligations.
We act as servicer for approximately
$6.5$6.73 billion of mortgage loans owned by third parties as of December 31,
2017.2019. As a servicer for those loans, we have certain contractual obligations to third parties. If we commit a material breach of our obligations as servicer, we may be subject to termination if the breach is not cured within a specified period of time following notice, causing us to lose servicing income. For certain investors and/or transactions, we may be contractually obligated to repurchase a mortgage loan or reimburse the investor for credit losses incurred on the loan as a remedy for origination errors with respect to the loan. If we have increased repurchase obligations because of claims that we did not satisfy our obligations as a servicer, or if we have increased loss severity on such repurchases, we may have a significant reduction to net servicing income within our mortgage banking noninterest income. In addition, we may be subject to fines and other sanctions imposed by federal or state regulators as a result of actual or perceived deficiencies in our foreclosure practices. Any of these actions may harm our reputation or negatively affect our residential lending or servicing business and, as a result, our profitability.
We may be required to repurchase mortgage loans or indemnify buyers against losses in some circumstances.
In
2017,2019, we sold nearly all of the
$6.3$4.54 billion of mortgage loans held for sale that we originated and purchased. When mortgage loans are sold, whether as whole loans or pursuant to a securitization, we are required to make customary representations and warranties to purchasers, guarantors and insurers about the mortgage loans and the manner in which they were originated. We may be required to repurchase or substitute mortgage loans, or indemnify buyers against losses, in the event we breach certain representations or warranties in connection with the sale of such loans. If repurchase and indemnity demands increase,
such demands are valid claims and are in excess of our provision for potential losses, our liquidity, results of operations or financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
We

We depend on amany third-party service providers inthat are integral to the operation of our business. In particular, we have engaged one such third party, Cenlar, to provide servicing ofThese vendors service our mortgage loan business. In the event that thisbusiness, provide critical core systems processing services, essential web hosting and other internet systems, and deposit processing services. If any of these service provider, or any other third-party service provider that we may use in the future, failsproviders fail to perform its servicing duties or performsperform those duties inadequately, we could experience a temporary interruption in collecting principal and interest on mortgage loans,our business, sustain credit losses on our loans or incur additional costs to obtain a replacement servicer. There can be no assurance that a replacement servicer could be retained in a timely manner or at similar rates. Further, our servicing rights could

third-party service providers, any of which could adversely affect our reputation, results of operations or financial condition.We also receive core systems processing, essential web hosting and other Internet systems, deposit processing and otherdata processing services from third-party service providers.are provided by companies associated with our competitors. The loss of these vendor relationships could disrupt the services we provide to our customers and cause us to incur significant expense in connection with replacing these services. If these third-party service providers experience difficulties, or terminate their services, and we are unable to replace them with other service providers, particularly on a timely basis, our operations could be interrupted. If an interruption were to continue for a significant period of time, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected, perhaps materially. Even if we are able to replace third-
partythird-party service providers, it may be at a higher cost to us, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
If we experienced issues with our mortgage servicing provider, our servicing rights could be terminated or we may be required to repurchase mortgage loans or reimburse investors as a result of such failures of our third-party service providers, any of which could adversely affect our reputation, results of operations or financial condition.
Additionally, we utilize many vendors that provide services to support our operations, including the storage and processing of sensitive consumer and business customer data. A cyber security breach of a vendor's system may result in theft and/or unavailability of our data or disruption of business processes. In most cases, we will remain primarily liable to our customers for losses arising from a breach of a vendor's data security system. We rely on our outsourced service providers to implement and maintain prudent cyber security controls. We have procedures in place to assess a vendor's cyber security controls prior to establishing a contractual relationship and to periodically review assessments of those control systems. However, these procedures are not infallible, and a vendor's system can be breached despite the procedures we employ.
If these third-party service providers experience difficulties, or terminate their services, and we are unable to replace them with other service providers, particularly on a timely basis, our operations could be interrupted. If an interruption were to continue for a significant period of time, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected, perhaps materially. Even if we are able to replace third-party service providers, it may be at a higher cost to us, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Failure to timely and accurately implement changes to mortgage laws and regulations into our compliance processes could adversely affect our ability to mitigate certain risks and losses.
FirstBank must routinely implement changes to mortgage industry law and regulation into our mortgage business practices. Since the CFPB was created in 2011, even more drastic and frequent changes have occurred. In 2015, the CFPB enacted rules known as the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure. This new set of rules consolidated and combined certain mortgage origination rules previously established separately under the Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA) and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). Additionally, Congress amended the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) in 2010 and the CFPB finalized a rule implementing changes to HMDA in 2015. The rule’s provisions require that certain mortgage origination data be collected and reported on an accurate and timely basis. These new CFPB rules, among others, require personnel training, technological enhancements, and revisions to policies and procedures. In addition to these past and future CFPB regulations, FirstBank is subject to additional regulations and rules promulgated by other federal and local governing authorities and agencies including, HUD, FDIC, GNMA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, among others. We must also comply with many ever-changing federal and local consumer protection laws including in part, the Dodd-Frank Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Homeowner’s Protection Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. FirstBank’s response to and implementation of these laws and regulation that are already enacted and those to be enacted in the future, could materially increase our compliance expenses causing weakness to our overall financial condition.
Our risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risks and/or losses to us.
Our risk management framework is comprised of various processes, systems and strategies, and is designed to manage the types of risk to which we are subject, including, among others, credit, market, liquidity, interest rate and compliance risks. Our framework also includes financial or other modeling methodologies that involve management assumptions and judgment. Our risk management framework may not be effective under all circumstances and may not adequately mitigate any risk or loss to us. If our framework is not effective, we could suffer unexpected losses and our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
System failure or breaches of our network security, including as a result of cyber-attacks or data security breaches, could subject us to increased operating costs as well as litigation and other liabilities.
The computer systems and network infrastructure we,
and our vendors, use may be vulnerable to physical theft, fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or a similar catastrophic event, as well as security breaches, denial of service attacks, viruses,
wormsransomware, and other disruptive problems caused by
hackers.cyber criminals. Any damage or failure that causes breakdowns or disruptions in our client relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems could damage our reputation, result in a loss of client business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.
Computer break-ins, phishing and other disruptions could also jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through our computer systems and network infrastructure. Information security risks have generally increased in recent years in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of the internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct financial transactions, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers,
nation state supported organizations, terrorists, and other external parties. Our operations rely on the secure processing, transmission and storage of confidential information in our computer systems and networks. Although we believe we have robust information security procedures and controls, our technologies, systems,
vendors, networks, and our customers’ devices may become the target of cyber-attacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse,
unavailability, loss or destruction of our or our customers’ confidential, proprietary and other information, or otherwise disrupt our or our customers’ business operations. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities.
We are under continuous threat of loss due to
hacking and cyber-attacks, especially as we continue to expand client capabilities to utilize internet and other remote channels to transact business. While we are not aware of any successful
hacking or cyber-attacks into our,
or our vendors, computer or information technology systems, there can be no assurance that we,
or our vendors, will not be the victim of successful
hacking or cyber-attacks in the future that could cause us to suffer material losses. The occurrence of any cyber-attack or information security breach could result in significant potential liabilities to customers and other third parties, reputational damage, the disruption of our operations and regulatory concerns, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes and, we may not have the resources to implement new technology to stay current with these changes.
The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Our future success will depend in part upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy client demands for convenience as well as to provide secure electronic environments as we continue to grow and expand our market area. Many of our larger competitors have substantially greater resources to invest, and have invested significantly more than us, in technological improvements. As a result, they may be able to offer additional or more convenient products compared to those that we will be able to provide, which would put us at a competitive disadvantage. Accordingly, we may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing such products and services to our customers, which could impair our growth and profitability.
We are subject to certain operational risks, including, but not limited to, client or employee fraud.
Employee errors and employee and client 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 these operational risks. If our internal controls fail to prevent or detect an occurrence, or if any resulting loss is not insured or exceeds applicable insurance limits, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition, we rely heavily upon information supplied by third parties, including the information contained in credit applications, property appraisals, title information, equipment pricing and valuation and employment and income documentation, in deciding which loans we will originate, as well as the terms of those loans. If any of the information upon which we rely is misrepresented, either fraudulently or inadvertently, and the misrepresentation is not detected prior to asset funding, the value of the asset may be significantly lower than expected, or we may fund a loan that we would not have funded or on terms we would not have extended.
Catastrophic events and disasters could negatively affect our local economies or disrupt our operations or result in other consequences which could have an adverse impact on our financial results or condition.
A significant portion of our business is located in the Southeast and includes areas which are susceptible to weather-related events such as tornadoes, floods, droughts, and fires. Such events can disrupt our operations, cause damage to our properties, and negatively affect the local economies in which we operate. The severity and impact of future natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, floods, and other weather-related events are difficult to predict. While we maintain insurance covering many of these weather-related events, there is no insurance against the disruption that such a catastrophic event could cause in the markets that we serve, the resulting adverse impact on our borrowers’ ability to timely repay their loans, and/or the value of any collateral held by us.
In addition, geopolitical matters, including international trade disputes, political unrest, the emergence of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, cyber attacks or campaigns, and slow growth in the global economy, as well as acts of terrorism, war, and other violence could result in disruptions in the financial markets or the markets that we serve. These negative events could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition and may affect our ability to access capital.
In the first quarter of 2020, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. We may experience negative impacts from quarantines, market downturns and changes in consumer behavior related to COVID-19. Although the Company has established a pandemic response plan and procedures, our workforce may be impacted if the virus becomes widespread in any of our markets, and we could experience an adverse financial impact due to branch and office closures. In addition, our financial results could be impacted due to an inability of our customers to meet their loan commitments in a timely manner because of their losses associated with impacts of the disease, including a decrease in revenues for certain businesses in areas impacted by quarantines during a pandemic or other changes in consumer behavior. In addition, downturns in the global market related to pandemic fears could result in a lowering of interest rates as a stimulus to boost consumer spending, which could further negatively impact our results of operations.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future.
We are required to meet certain regulatory capital requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity. We may need to raise additional capital in the future to provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs, which could include the possibility of financing acquisitions. Our ability to raise additional capital depends on conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions and a number of other factors, including investor perceptions regarding the banking industry, market conditions, governmental activities, and our financial condition and performance. Accordingly, we may be unable to raise additional capital if needed or on terms acceptable to us. Further, such additional capital could result in dilution to our existing shareholders. If we fail to maintain capital to meet regulatory requirements, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, as well as our ability to maintain compliance with regulatory capital requirements, would be materially and adversely affected.
Our FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments may increase.
Our deposits are insured by the FDIC up to legal limits,
and, accordingly,which subjects us to the payment of FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments.
High levels of bank failures since the financial crisis and increases in the statutory deposit insurance limits have increased resolution costs to theThe FDIC
and put significant pressure on the Deposit Insurance Fund. In order to maintain a strong funding position and restore the reserve ratios of the Deposit Insurance Fund following the financial crisis, the FDIC increased deposit insurancemay increase assessment rates
and chargedon all institutions or impose special assessments,
to all FDIC-insuredespecially if failures of financial
institutions. Further increases in assessment rates or special assessments mayinstitutions were to occur in the
future, especially if there are significant additional failuresfuture. Additionally, after our planned merger with Franklin Financial Network, Inc. we will have more than $10 billion in total assets, which will change the method that the FDIC uses to determine the amount of
financial institutions.our deposit insurance premium. Any
increases in our assessment rate, future special assessments,
increases in assessment rates or required prepayments in FDIC insurance premiums could reduce our profitability or limit our ability to pursue certain business opportunities, which could have a material adverse effect on our assets, business, cash flow, condition (financial or otherwise), liquidity, prospects or results of operations.
Our financial condition may be affected negatively by the costs of litigation.
We may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation, investigations or similar matters arising out of our business.
From time to time, and particularly during periods of economic stress, customers may make claims or otherwise take legal action pertaining to performance of our responsibilities. These claims are often referred to as “lender liability” claims. Whether customer claims and legal action related to the performance of our responsibilities are founded or unfounded, if such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a favorable manner, they may result in significant financial liability and/or adversely affect our market perception, products and services, as well as potentially affecting customer demand for those products and services. In many cases, we may seek reimbursement from our insurance carriers to cover such costs and expenses.
These claims, as well as supervisory and enforcement actions by our regulators could involve large monetary claims, capital directives, regulatory agreements and directives and significant defense costs. The outcome of any such cases or actions is uncertain. Substantial legal liability or significant regulatory action against us could have material adverse financial effects or cause significant reputational harm to us, which in turn could seriously harm our business prospects. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation. Should the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation or investigation significantly exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Prior to our initial public offering, we were treated as an S-corporation, and claims of taxing authorities or our former sole shareholder related to our prior status as an S-corporation, could harm us.
Prior to our initial public offering, we were an S-corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. While we were an S-corporation, Mr. Ayers, our sole shareholder at the time, was taxed on our income. Following our initial public offering in 2016, our status as an S-corporation was terminated and we became a “C-corporation” under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. If the unaudited, open tax years in which we were an S-corporation are audited by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and we are determined not to have qualified for, or to have violated, our S-corporation status, we will be obligated to pay back tax, interest and penalties. The amounts that we would be obligated to pay could include tax on all of our taxable income while we were an S-corporation. Any such claims could result in additional costs to us and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
In addition, in the event of an adjustment to our reported taxable income for periods prior to termination of our S-corporation status, it is possible that Mr. Ayers would be liable for additional income taxes for those prior periods. Therefore, we entered into a tax sharing agreement with Mr. Ayers. Pursuant to this agreement, upon our filing any tax return (amended or otherwise), in the event of any restatement of our taxable income or pursuant to a determination by, or a settlement with, a taxing authority, for any period during which we were an S-corporation, we may be required to make a payment to Mr. Ayers in an amount equal to Mr. Ayers’ incremental tax liability. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify Mr. Ayers with respect to unpaid income tax liabilities to the extent that such unpaid income tax liabilities are attributable to an adjustment to our taxable income for any period after our S-corporation status terminates. In both cases the amount of the payment will be based on the assumption that Mr. Ayers is taxed at the highest rate applicable to individuals for the relevant periods. We will also indemnify Mr. Ayers for any interest, penalties, losses, costs or expenses arising out of any claim under the agreement. Any such payments to
or on behalf of Mr. Ayers would result in additional costs to us and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. We could be subject to environmental risks and associated costs on our other real estate owned assets.
A significant portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of loans collateralized by real estate. There is a risk that hazardous or toxic waste could be discovered on the properties that secure our loans. If we acquire such properties as a result of foreclosure, we could be held responsible for the cost of cleaning up or removing this waste, and this cost could exceed the value of the underlying properties and materially and adversely affect us.
We could be required to write down goodwill and other intangible assets.
At December 31, 2019, our goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets were $186.6 million. Under current accounting standards, if we determine goodwill or intangible assets are impaired because, for example, the acquired business does not meet projected revenue targets or certain key employees leave, we are required to write down the carrying value of these assets. We conduct a review at least annually to determine whether goodwill is impaired. Our goodwill impairment evaluation indicated no impairment of goodwill for our reporting segments. We cannot provide assurance, however, that we will not be required to take an impairment charge in the future. Any impairment charge would have an adverse effect on our shareholders' equity and financial results and could cause a decline in our stock price.
Risks related to our regulatory environment
The Dodd-Frank Act and related rules and regulations may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The Dodd-Frank Act contains a variety of far-reaching changes and reforms for the financial services industry and directs federal regulatory agencies to study the effects of, and issue implementing regulations for, these reforms. Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act could have a direct effect on our performance and, in some cases, impact our ability to conduct business. Examples of these provisions include, but are not limited to:
Increased capital requirements and changes to the quality of capital required to be held by banking organizations;
Changes to deposit insurance assessments;
Regulation of proprietary trading;
Repeal of the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts;
Establishment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”"CFPB") with broad authority to implement new consumer protection regulations and, for banks with $10 billion or more in assets, to examine and enforce compliance with federal consumer laws;
Implementation of risk retention rules for loans (excluding qualified residential mortgages) that are sold by a bank;
Implementation of annual stress tests for all banks with assets exceeding $10 billion;
Regulation of debit-card interchange fees; and
Regulation of lending and the requirements for “qualified mortgages”"qualified mortgages", “qualified"qualified residential mortgages”mortgages" and the assessment of “ability"ability to repay”repay" requirements.
Many of these provisions have already been the subject of proposed and final rules by regulatory authorities. Many other provisions, however, remain subject to regulatory rulemaking and implementation, the effects of which are not yet known. The provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and any rules adopted to implement those provisions as well as any additional legislative or regulatory changes may impact the profitability of our business, require that we change certain of our business practices, materially affect our business model or affect retention of key personnel, require us to raise additional capital and expose us to additional costs (including increased compliance costs). These and other changes may also require us to invest significant management attention and resources to make any necessary changes and may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business as previously conducted or our financial condition or results of operations.
After our planned merger with Franklin Synergy Bank, FirstBank may have more than $10 billion in total assets, which will subject us additional federal regulations and could materially and adversely affect our business.
On January 21, 2020, we announced that we had executed an agreement to merge with Franklin Financial Network and its wholly owned subsidiary, Franklin Synergy Bank. At the consummation of this merger, FirstBank may have more than $10 billion in total consolidated assets. Pursuant to Section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Act, banks with greater than $10 billion in total consolidated assets are subject to certain additional regulatory requirements, including limits on the debit card interchange fees that such banks may collect, changes in the manner in which assessments for FDIC deposit insurance are calculated, and providing the authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) to supervise and examine such banks. Additionally, compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act’s requirements may necessitate that we hire or contract with additional
compliance or other personnel, design and implement additional internal controls, or incur other significant expenses, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Monetary policies and economic factors may limit our ability to attract deposits or make loans.
The monetary policies of federal regulatory authorities, particularly the Federal Reserve, and economic conditions in our service area and the United States generally, affect our ability to attract deposits and extend loans. We cannot predict either the nature or timing of any changes in these monetary policies and economic conditions, including the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policies, or their impact on our financial performance. Adverse conditions in the economic environment could also lead to a potential decline in deposits and demand for loans, which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
As the parent company of FirstBank, the Federal Reserve may require us to commit capital resources to support the Bank.
The Federal Reserve requires us to act as a source of strength to the Bank and to commit capital and financial resources to support the Bank. This support may be required at times when we might otherwise determine not to provide it. In addition, if we commit to a federal bank regulator that we will maintain the capital of the Bank, whether in response to the Federal Reserve’s invoking its source-of-strength authority or in response to other regulatory measures, that commitment will be assumed by a bankruptcy trustee and, as a result, the Bank will be entitled to priority payment in respect of that commitment, ahead of our other creditors. Thus, any borrowing that must be done by us in order to support the Bank may adversely impact our cash flow, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
Federal and state regulators periodically examine our business and may require us to remediate adverse examination findings or may take enforcement action against us.
The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the TDFI periodically examine our business, including our compliance with laws and regulations. If, as a result of an examination, the Federal Reserve,
the FDIC, or the TDFI 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
maycould include
requiring the
power to require us to remediateremediation of any such adverse examination findings.
In addition, these agencies have the power to take enforcement action against us to enjoin “unsafe or unsound” practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation of law or regulation or unsafe or unsound practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in our capital, to direct the sale of subsidiaries or other assets, to limit dividends and distributions, to restrict our growth, to assess civil monetary penalties against us or our officers or directors, to remove officers
andand/or directors or, 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 us into receivership or conservatorship. Any regulatory enforcement action against us could have a material adverse effect on our assets, business, cash flow, condition (financial or otherwise), liquidity, prospects or results of operations.
Federal, state and local consumer lending laws may restrict our ability to originate certain mortgage loans or increase our risk of liability with respect to such loans and could increase our cost of doing business.
Federal, state and local laws and regulations have been adopted that are intended to eliminate certain lending practices considered “predatory.” The origination of loans with certain terms and conditions and that otherwise meet the definition of a “qualified mortgage” may protect us from liability to a borrower for failing to make the necessary determinations. In either case, we may find it necessary to tighten our mortgage loan underwriting standards in response to applicable regulations, which may constrain our ability to make loans consistent with our business strategies. It is our policy not to make predatory loans and to determine borrowers’ ability to repay, but the law and related rules create the potential for increased liability with respect to our lending and loan investment activities. They increase our cost of doing business and, ultimately, may prevent us from making certain loans and cause us to reduce the average percentage rate or the points and fees on loans that we do make, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our
business, cash flow, condition (financial or otherwise), liquidity, prospects or results of operations.We are subject to numerous fair lending laws designed to protect consumers and failure to comply with these laws could lead to a wide variety of sanctions.
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 successful regulatory 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, restrictions on expansion and restrictions on entering new lines of business. Private parties may also have the ability to challenge an institution’s performance under
fair lending laws in private class action litigation. Such actions could have a material adverse effect on our assets, business, cash flow, condition (financial or otherwise), liquidity, prospects or results of operations.
We could face a risk of noncompliance and enforcement action with the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 (the “Bank Secrecy Act”) and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations.
The Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act and other laws and regulations require financial institutions, among other duties, to institute and maintain effective anti-money laundering programs and file suspicious activity and currency transaction reports as appropriate. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to administer the Bank Secrecy Act, is authorized to impose significant civil money penalties for violations of those requirements and engages in coordinated enforcement efforts with the individual federal banking regulators, as well as the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration and IRS. There is also increased scrutiny of compliance with the rules enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control related to U.S. sanctions regimes. If our policies, procedures and systems are deemed deficient or the policies, procedures and systems of the financial institutions that we have already acquired or may acquire in the future are deficient, we would be subject to liability, including fines and regulatory actions such as restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and the necessity to obtain regulatory approvals to proceed with certain aspects of our business plan, including our acquisition plans, which would negatively impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could also have serious reputational consequences for us, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business.
Risks related to our common stock
We
are controlled by James W. Ayers, whosehave a shareholder who owns a significant portion of our stock and that shareholders' interests in our business may be different than our other
shareholders, and, as a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of NYSE, our other shareholders will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to certain corporate governance requirements.shareholders.
Mr. Ayers, our Executive Chairman, currently owns approximately 56.3% 44%of our common stock. Further, pursuant to the shareholder’s agreement that was entered into with Mr. Ayers in connection with our initial public offering, Mr. Ayers has the right under the shareholder's agreement, by and between the Company and Mr. Ayers and entered into in connection with the Company's initial public offering, to designate up to a majority40% of our directors and at least one member of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees of our board of directors. As a result, Mr. Ayers or his nominees to our board of directors will have the ability to control the appointment of our management, the entering into of mergers, material acquisitions and dispositions and other extraordinary transactions and to influence amendments to our charter, bylaws and other corporate governance documents.for so long as permitted under applicable law. So long as Mr. Ayers continues to own a majoritysignificant portion of our common stock, he will have the ability to controlsignificantly influence the vote in any election of directors and will have the ability to prevent anysignificantly influence a vote regarding a transaction that requires shareholder approval regardless of whether others believe the transaction is in our best interests. In any of these matters, the interests of Mr. Ayers may differ from or conflict with the interests of our other shareholders. Moreover, this concentration of stock ownership may also adversely affect the trading price forof our common stock to the extent investors perceive disadvantages in owning stock of a company with a controllingsignificant shareholder.In addition, because Mr. Ayers controls a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of NYSE. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors and the requirements that the executive compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee each be comprised entirely of independent directors. We may take advantage of certain of these exemptions for as long as we continue to qualify as a “controlled company,” and, historically, we have relied on the exemption that we have a nominating and corporate governance committee. While exempt, we may also choose not to have a majority of independent directors or a compensation committee that consists entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of NYSE.
Our corporate organization documents contain certain provisions that could have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, make more difficult or prevent an attempted acquisition of us that our shareholders may favor.
Our governing documents and certain agreements to which we are a party contain provisions that make a change-in-control difficult to accomplish, and may discourage a potential acquirer. These include a provision that directors cannot be removed except for cause and a provision that requires the affirmative vote of eighty percent (80%) of the shares outstanding to amend certain provisions of our charter. These anti-takeover provisions may have an adverse effect on the market for our common stock.
We have the ability to incur debt and pledge our assets, including our stock in the Bank, to secure that debt.
Absent special and unusual circumstances, a holder of any indebtedness for borrowed money has rights that are superior to those of holders of any common stock. For example, interest must be paid to the lender before dividends can be paid to any shareholders, and loans must be paid off before any assets can be distributed to any shareholders if we were to liquidate. Further, we would have to make principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, which could reduce our profitability or result in net losses on a consolidated basis even if the Bank were profitable.
The price of our common stock could be volatile.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Future sales of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock may dilute our shareholders’ ownership in us and may adversely affect us or the market price of our common stock.
We are generally not restricted from issuing additional shares of our common stock up to the authorized number of shares set forth in our charter. We may issue additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock in the future pursuant to current or future employee stock option plans, employee stock grants, upon exercise of warrants or in connection with future acquisitions or financings. In addition, Mr. Ayers has registration rights that allow him to sell additional shares of common stock in subsequent offerings. We cannot predict the size of any such future issuances or the effect, if any, that any such future issuances will have on the trading price of our common stock. Any such future issuances of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock may have a dilutive effect on the holders of our common stock and could have a material negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Future sales of our common stock in the public market could lower our share price, and any additional capital raised by us through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities may dilute our shareholders ownership in us and may adversely affect us or the market price of our common stock.
We or Mr. Ayers, may sell additional shares of common stock in subsequent public offerings. We may also issue additional shares of common stock or convertible securities to finance future acquisitions. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock (including sales that may occur pursuant to registration rights and shares that may be issued in connection with acquisitions), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
Applicable laws and regulations restrict both the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.
We and the Bank are subject to various regulatory restrictions relating to the payment of dividends. In addition, the Federal Reserve has the authority to prohibit bank holding companies from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their business. These federal and state laws, regulations and policies are described in greater detail in “Business: Supervision and regulation: Bank regulation: Bank dividends” and “Business: Supervision and regulation: Holding company regulation: Restriction on bank holding company dividends,” and generally consider previous results and net income, capital needs, asset quality, existence of enforcement or remediation proceedings, and overall financial condition in determining whether a dividend payment is appropriate. For the foreseeable future, the majority, if not all, of our revenue will be from any dividends paid to us by the Bank. Accordingly, our ability to pay dividends also depends on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us. Further, the present and future dividend policy of the Bank is subject to the discretion of its board of directors. We cannot guarantee that we or the Bank will be permitted by financial condition or
applicable regulatory restrictions to pay dividends, that the board of directors of the Bank will elect to pay dividends to us, or the timing or amount of any dividend actually paid. See “Dividend policy.” If we do not pay dividends, market perceptions of our common stock may be adversely affected, which could in turn create downward pressure on our stock price.
We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to reconciliations of our mortgage loans held for sale and related clearing accounts in the year ended December 31, 2016 and if we are unable to establish and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) it could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
We are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, that require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and, beginning with this Annual Report on Form 10-K, provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of control over financial reporting. Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC or the date we are no longer an emerging growth company, which may be up to five full fiscal years following our initial public offering.
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, our management determined that as of December 31, 2016, we had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting resulting from deficiencies around the recording of mortgage banking transactions and reconciliations of mortgage loans held for sale and related clearing accounts on a timely basis. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, we did not have effective processes and procedures in place to ensure that all transactions involving the origination, purchase, transfer or sales of our mortgage loans held for sale were properly recorded and reflected on our financial statements and, as a result, failed to properly record certain transactions in the proper interim periods in 2016. While this deficiency did not result in a restatement of any previously reported interim consolidated financial statements for 2016, our management concluded there was a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements might not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. See “Controls and Procedures” included in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a further discussion of this material weakness. Our management believes that the conversion to the system, which was completed during 2016, and the revised policies and procedures for reconciling applicable accounts put in place during 2016 have been sufficient to remediate this material weakness. As of December 31, 2017, management considers the material weakness to be remediated based on their evaluation of the controls.
While we believe that we have taken appropriate steps to remediate the material weakness, we cannot be certain that other material weaknesses and control deficiencies will not be discovered in the future. If additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting are discovered or occur in the future, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to restate our financial results. In addition, if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting are discovered or occur in the future, or if we are unable to produce accurate and timely financial statements, our stock price may be adversely affected and we may be unable to maintain compliance with applicable stock exchange listing requirements.
We are an emerging growth company, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various regulatory and reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, exemptions from being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, even if we comply with the greater obligations of public companies that are not emerging growth companies, we may avail ourselves of the reduced requirements applicable to emerging growth companies from time to time in the future, so long as we are an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, though we will cease to be an emerging growth company earlier if we have more than $1 billion in annual gross revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt in a three-year period. Investors and securities analysts may find it more difficult to evaluate our common
stock because we will rely on one or more of these exemptions and, as a result, investor confidence or the market price of our common stock may be materially and adversely affected.
Securities that we issue, including our common stock, are not FDIC insured.
Securities that we issue, including our common stock, are not savings or deposit accounts or other obligations of any bank, insured by the FDIC, any other governmental agency or instrumentality, or any private insurer, and are subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of our shareholders’ investments.

As an S Corporation, we historicallyeach subsequent quarter since . Our dividend declarations have also been applicable to outstanding restricted stock units, for which related cash distributions are made distributions to our sole shareholder to provide him with funds to pay U.S. federal income taxon the vesting dates of the underlying units.

taxable income that was “passed through” to him. We also historically paid additional dividends to our shareholder as a return on his investment from time to time.

funds to pay U.S. federal income tax on their pro rata portion of our taxable income.We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business, and we currently do not anticipate paying any dividendsrespect to the holdersperiods indicated below.

As a bank holding company, any dividends paid by us are subject to various federal and state regulatory limitations and also may be subject to the ability of the Bank to make distributions or pay dividends to us. The Bank is also subject to various legal, regulatory and other restrictions on its ability to pay dividends and make other distributions and payments to us. Our ability to pay dividends is limited by minimum capital and other requirements prescribed by law and regulation. Furthermore, we are generally prohibited under Tennessee corporate law from making a distribution to a shareholder to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business or our total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus (unless the charter permits otherwise) the amount that would be needed, if we were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any shareholders who may have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution. In addition, financing arrangements that we may enter into in the future may include restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to pay dividends.

Sale of Equity Securities
and Use of ProceedsInitial Public Offering
On September 15, 2016, our registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-213210) was declared effective by the SEC for our underwritten initial public offering in which we sold a total of 6,764,704 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $19.00 per share. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, UBS Securities LLC, and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., acted as the joint book-running managers for the offering, and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P., and Stephens Inc. acted as co-managers.
The
offering commenced on September 15, 2016 and closed on September 21, 2016. All of the shares registered pursuant to the registration statement were sold at an aggregate offering price of $128.5 million. We received net proceeds of approximately $115.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $9.0 million and other offering expenses of $4.0 million. No payments with respect to expenses were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of either class of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates. However, $55.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering were used to fund a cash distribution to James W. Ayers, our majority shareholder and executive chairman, which was intended to be non-taxable to Mr. Ayers, and $10.1 million of the net proceeds from the offering were used to fund the repayment of all amounts outstanding under our subordinated notes held by Mr. Ayers. During the third quarter of 2017, approximately $7.8 million was used to fund the merger with the Clayton Banks. Remaining proceeds of approximately $27.1 million from the offering remain in interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions and may be used to support our growth, including to fund our organic growth and implement our strategic initiatives, which may include the potential expansion of our business through opportunistic acquisitions of depository institutions and other complementary businesses, and selective acquisitions of assets, deposits and branches that we believe present attractive risk-adjusted returns or provide a strategic benefit to our growth strategy, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes, and to strengthen our regulatory capital. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our prospectus filed with the SEC on September 19, 2016 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act.Private Placement
As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the SEC on May 26, 2017, we sold 4,806,710 shares of our common stock (the “Private Placement Shares”) to accredited investors in a private placement that closed on June 1, 2017. We received net proceeds of approximately $152.7 million from the sale of the Private Placement Shares after deducting placement agent fees of approximately $5.5 million and other offering expenses of
Company did not sell any unregistered equity securities during 2019.
approximately $0.4 million. The net proceeds were used to fund a portion of the payment of approximately $184.2 million cash consideration to Clayton HC, Inc. in connection with our acquisition of Clayton Bank and Trust and American City Bank, which closed on July 31, 2017. The Private Placement Shares were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

| (5) | These measures are not measures recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (United States) (“GAAP”), and are therefore considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. See “GAAP reconciliation and management explanation of non-GAAP financial measures” for a reconciliation of these measures to their most comparable GAAP measures. |
GAAP reconciliation and management explanation of non-GAAP financial measures
We identify certain of the financial measures discussed in our selected historical consolidated financial datathis Report as being “non-GAAP"non-GAAP financial measures.” " The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Report are adjusted efficiency ratio (tax equivalent basis), tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets and return on average tangible equity.
In accordance with the
SEC’sSEC's rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows.
The non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in
our selected historical consolidated financial datathis Report should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in our selected historical consolidated financial data may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their financial measures similar or with names similar to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in our selected historical consolidated financial data when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures. The following reconciliation tables provide a more detailed analysis of these, and reconciliation for, each of non-GAAP financial
measuresmeasures.
Adjusted efficiency ratio (tax equivalent basis)
The adjusted efficiency ratio (tax equivalent basis) is a non-GAAP measure that excludes securitiescertain gains (losses), merger-relatedmerger and conversionoffering-related expenses one time IPO equity grants and other selected items. Our management uses this measure in its analysis of our performance. Our management believes this measure provides a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods, as well as demonstrates the effects of significant gains and charges. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is the efficiency ratio.

Tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assets
Tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assets are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of goodwill and other intangibles used by the Company’s management to evaluate capital adequacy. Because intangible assets such as goodwill and other intangibles vary extensively from company to company, we believe that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s capital position to other companies. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is book value per common share and our total shareholders’ equity to total assets.
The following table presents, as of the dates set forth below, tangible common equity compared with total shareholders’ equity, tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share and common equity to tangible assets compared to total shareholders’ equity to total assets:

ITEM 7 – Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
The following is a discussion of our financial condition at December 31, 20172019 and 2016December 31, 2018 and our results of operations for each of the three years in the three year period ended December 31, 2017,2019 and 2018 and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and are based on certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable but may prove to be inaccurate. Certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth in the “Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements” and “Risk Factors” sections of this Annual Report, may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected results discussed in the forward-looking statements appearing in this discussion and analysis. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements. Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are included in the respective sections within "Part II. Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Critical accounting policies
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. Within our financial statements, certain financial information contain approximate measurements of financial effects of transactions and impacts at the consolidated balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods. We monitor the status of proposed and newly issued accounting standards to evaluate the impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Our accounting policies, including the impact of newly issued accounting standards
and subsequent adoptions, are discussed in further detail in
"Part II- Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note
1, “Summary1. Basis of
Significant Accounting Policies,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The following discussion presents somePresentation" of
the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparing our financial statements.this Report.
Allowance for loan losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Management periodically reviews the allowance for loan losses. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of principal is unlikely. Recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. In the event management concludes that the allowance for loan losses is more than adequate to absorb potential loan losses, a reverse provision may be recorded whereby a credit is made to the expense account.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses on outstanding loans. Factors considered in management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance are current and anticipated economic conditions, previous loan loss experience, changes in the nature, volume and composition of the loan portfolio, industry or other concentrations of credit, review of specific problem loans, the level of classified and nonperforming loans, the results of regulatory examinations, the estimated fair value of underlying collateral and overall quality of the loan portfolio. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or the collateral value, less estimated selling costs, of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience with the overall level, adjusted for qualitative, economic and other factors impacting the future collectability of the loan portfolio.
Certain loans acquired in acquisitions or mergers are accounted for under ASC 310-30 “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality,” which prohibits the carryover of an allowance for loan losses for loans acquired in which the acquirer concludes that it will not collect the contractual amount. As a result, these loans are carried at values which represent management’s estimate of the future cash flows of these loans. Increases in expected cash flows to be collected from the contractual cash flows are required to be recognized as an adjustment to the loan’s yield over its remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows are required to be recognized as impairment charges to the provision for loan losses.
Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Measurement of Current Expected Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("CECL"), which modifies the accounting for the allowance for loan losses from an
impairment.incurred loss model to an expected loss model, as discussed more fully under the subheading "Asset quality" contained within management's discussion and analysis and in "Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1. Basis of Presentation" of this Report.
Fair Value Measurements
A hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability is utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. See Note 17 "Fair Value" in the consolidated financial statements herein for additional disclosures regarding the fair value of our assets and liabilities, including a description of the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity.
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes.
Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method as no ready market exists for this stock and it has no quoted market value.
In periods prior to 2018, equity securities were classified as available-for-sale. As such, equity securities were carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes.
As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities" requiring that equity securities with readily determinable fair values be carried at fair value on the balance sheet with any periodic changes in value adjusted through the income statement. The change in accounting policy resulted in a one-time adjustment to retained earnings for the after-tax decrease in fair value below book value at January 1, 2018 and a reclassification of certain investments that did not meet the definition of equity securities with readily determinable fair values to other assets. These other investments are carried at cost less any identified impairment.
Interest income includes the amortization and accretion of purchase premium and discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method anticipating prepayments based upon the prior three month average monthly prepayments when available. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method as no ready market exists for this stock and it has no quoted market value.
We evaluate available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, we consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.
When OTTI is determined to have occurred, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether we intend to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If we intend to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI recognized in earnings is equal to the entire difference between its amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If we do not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI is separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized as a charge to earnings. The amount of the OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market, primarily mortgage loans, are carried at fair value as permitted under the guidance in ASC 825, “Financial Instruments.” Gains and losses are recognized in income at the time the loan is closed. These gains and losses are classified under the line item “Mortgage banking income” in our consolidated financial statements. Pass through origination costs and related loan fees are also included in “Mortgage banking income.” Other expenses are classified in the appropriate noninterest expense accounts.
Other real estate owned
Other real estate owned (“OREO”) includes real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure and excess land and facilities held for sale. OREO is initially recorded at fair value less the estimated cost to sell at the date of foreclosure which may establish a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the asset is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations are included in other noninterest income and noninterest expenses. Losses due to the valuation of the property are included in loss on sales or write-downs of other real estate owned.
Mortgage servicing rights
We began retaining the right to service certain mortgage loans in 2014 that we sell to secondary market investors.
These mortgage servicing rights are recognized as a separate asset on the date the corresponding mortgage loan is sold.In periods prior to 2017,
mortgage servicing rights were carried at amortized cost less impairment mortgage servicing rights were amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income.
Fair value was determined using an income approach with various assumptions including expected cash flows, prepayment speeds, market discount rates,These servicing
costs, and other factors.rights were carried at amortized cost less any impairment. Impairment losses on mortgage servicing rights were recognized to the extent by which the unamortized cost exceeded fair value.
As of January 1, 2017, the Company elected to account for its mortgage servicing rights under the fair value option as permitted under ASC 860-50-35, Transfers"Transfers and Servicing." The change in accounting policy resulted in a one-time adjustment
to retained earnings for the after-tax increase in fair value above book value at
January 1, 2017.the time of adoption. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in earnings in Mortgage banking income.
Goodwill and other intangible assets
Goodwill represents the excess
Retained mortgage servicing rights are measured at fair value as of the costdate of an acquisition overthe related loan sale. We use quoted market prices when available. Subsequent fair value measurements are determined using a discounted cash flow model. In order to determine the fair value of the MSR, the present value of expected net assets acquired. Goodwill impairment testingfuture cash flows is performed annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment. Goodwillestimated. Assumptions used include market discount rates, anticipated prepayment speeds, delinquency and foreclosure rates, and ancillary fee income net of servicing costs. This model is assignedperiodically validated by an independent model validation group. The model assumptions and the MSR fair value estimates are also compared to the Company’s reporting units, which are determined based on geographyobservable trades of similar portfolios as well as to MSR broker valuations and may include one or more individual branches. Fair values of reporting units are determined using either discountedindustry surveys, as available.
Derivative financial instruments
We enter into cash flow
analyses based on internal financial forecastshedges to mitigate the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows or
if available, market-based valuation multiples for comparable businesses. Ifother types of forecasted transactions. Changes in the
estimated implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized as noninterest expense to reduce the carrying amountcash flow hedges, to the estimated impliedextent that the hedging relationship is effective, are recorded as other comprehensive income and are subsequently recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portions of the changes in fair value which could be materialof the hedging instruments are immediately recognized in earnings. The assessment of the effectiveness of the hedging relationship is evaluated under the hypothetical derivative method.
We utilize derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments. The Company enters into swaps, interest rate cap and/or floor agreements with its customers and then enters into an offsetting derivative contract position with other financial institutions to
our operating results for any particular reporting period.Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible assets arising from whole bank and branch acquisitionsmitigate the interest rate risk associated with these customer contracts. Because these derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in addition to an operating lease intangible, customer base trust intangible and a loan servicing intangible related to a manufactured housing recorded in conjunction with the merger with the Clayton Banks completed on July 31, 2017. All intangible assets are initially measured at fair value and then amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Rate-lock commitments and forward loan sale contracts
of the derivative instruments are recognized currently in earnings.
We enter into commitments to originate and purchase loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate-lock commitments). Rate-lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. Accordingly, such commitments, along with any related fees received from potential borrowers, are recorded at fair value in other assets or liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in mortgage banking income. Fair value is based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, and for fixed-rate commitments, the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates is also considered.
We utilize forward loan sale contracts to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in our mortgage loan pipeline and held-for-sale portfolio. Forward loan sale contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of mortgage loans. We agree to deliver on a specified future date, a specified instrument, at a specified price or yield. However, the contract may allow for cash settlement. The credit risk inherent to us arises from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. In the event of non-acceptance by the counterparty, we would be subject to the credit and inherent (or market) risk of the loans retained. Such contracts are accounted for as derivatives and, along with related fees paid to investor are recorded at fair value in derivative assets or liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in mortgage banking income. Fair value is based on the estimated amounts that we would receive or pay to terminate the commitment at the reporting date.
We utilize two methods to deliver mortgage loans sold to an investor. Under a “best efforts” sales agreement, the Company enters into a sales agreement with an investor in the secondary market to sell the loan when an interest rate-lock commitment is entered into with a customer, as described above. Under a “best efforts” sales agreement, the Company is obligated to sell the mortgage loan to the investor only if the loan is closed and funded. Thus, the Company will not incur any liability to an investor if the mortgage loan commitment in the pipeline fails to close. The Company also utilizes “mandatory delivery” sales agreements. Under a mandatory delivery sales agreement, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price and delivery date. Penalties are paid to the investor should the Company fail to satisfy the contract. Mandatory commitments are recorded at fair value in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses arising from changes in the valuation of these commitments are recognized currently in earnings and are reflected under the line item “Other noninterest income” on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Business combinations

Acquired Loans and related AssetsWe accountacquired loans with credit deterioration
Business combinations are accounted for our acquisitions underby applying the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, which requires (“ASC 805”). Under the useacquisition method, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date are measured at their fair values as of that date. Any excess of the purchase methodprice over fair value of accounting. All identifiablenet assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. To the extent the fair value of net assets acquired, including any other identifiable intangible assets, exceed the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Results of operations of acquired entities are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the date of acquisition.
Loans acquired in business combinations with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit-impaired. Purchased credit impaired

We generate most of our revenue in our Mortgage segment from origination fees and gains on sales in the secondary market of mortgage loans that we originate from our mortgage offices outside our Banking footprint orand through our internetonline ConsumerDirect channel, as well as from mortgage servicing revenues.
On April 1, 2019, we announced our intention to sell our wholesale mortgage operations, comprising the third party origination ("TPO") and correspondent mortgage delivery channels (collectively referred to as "mortgage restructuring"). The sale of the two wholesale channels better aligns the Mortgage segment with our strategic plan and from servicing. Our primary sourcelong-term vision for the Company. The exit also allows additional focus on our retail and ConsumerDirect origination channels. The sale of fundingTPO channel was completed on June 7, 2019 and the sale of correspondent channel was completed on August 1, 2019. In connection with the mortgage restructuring, the Company incurred certain related and miscellaneous expenses of $2.0 million for ourthe year ended December 31, 2019.

Key factors affecting our business
Our business and financial performance are affected by economic conditions generally in the United States and more directly in the markets where we primarily operate. The significant economic factors that are most relevant to our business and our financial performance include the general economic conditions in the U.S. and in our markets, unemployment rates, real estate markets and interest rates.

Net interest income is the largest contributor to our net income and is the difference between the interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets
(usually(primarily loans and investment securities) and the interest expense incurred in connection with interest-bearing liabilities
(usually(primarily deposits and borrowings). The level of net interest income is primarily a function of the average balance of interest-earning assets, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and the spread between the contractual yield on such assets and the contractual cost of such liabilities. These factors are influenced by both the pricing and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by external factors such as local economic conditions, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board and market interest rates.
The cost of our deposits and short-term wholesale borrowings is largely based on short-term interest rates, which are primarily driven by the Federal Reserve Board’s actions. The yields generated by our loans and securities are typically driven by short-term and long-term interest rates, which are set by the market and are, at times, heavily influenced by the
Federal Reserve Board’s actions. The level of net interest income is therefore influenced by movements in such interest rates and the pace at which such movements occur.occur. Since 2012,December of 2016, the Federal Open Market Committee has raised the Fed Funds Target rate eight times, which has caused other short term yields such as 1-month and 3-month LIBOR to rise. Although short-term and long-term interest rates have remained at very low levels by historical standards, with many benchmarkrisen, the Federal Reserve now maintains a neutral monetary policy, and we expect interest rates such as the federal funds rate and one- and three-month LIBOR, near zero.to increase nominally or remain flat throughout 2019. Subsequent declines in the yield curve or a decline in longer-term yields relative to short-term yields (a flatter yield curve) would have an adverse impact on our net interest margin and net interest income. Although short-term interest rates have risen since the Federal Reserve Board increased the federal funds target range by 75 basis points in 2017, from a historical perspective the Federal Reserve continues to maintain an accommodative monetary policy, and we expect interest rates to continue to increase gradually throughout 2018. However, the low interest rate environment likely will not continue in the long-term .ContinuedContinued rate increases may have the effect of decreasing our mortgage origination and our general mortgage banking profitability.profitability. For additional information regarding our interest rate risks factors and management, see “Business: Risk management: Liquidity and interest rate risk management” and “Risk factors: Risks related to our business.” We focus on originating quality loans and have established loan approval policies and procedures to assist us in upholding the overall credit quality of our loan portfolio. However, credit trends in the markets in which we operate and in our loan portfolio can materially impact our financial condition and performance and are primarily driven by the economic conditions in our markets.
Underlying credit quality

Although, overall we have recently experienced favorable credit trends through 2017in 2019 and currently expect these trends to continue through 2018, we are sensitive to credit quality risks in our commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and construction loan portfolios due to our concentration of loans in these categories. For additional information regarding credit quality risk factors for our Company, see “Business: Risk management: Credit risk management” and “Risk factors: Risks related to our business.”
Competition
CompetitionOur profitability and growth are affected by the highly competitive nature of the financial services industry.industry. We compete with commercial banks, savings banks, credit unions, non-bank financial services companies, online mortgage providers, internet banks and other financial institutions operating within the areas we serve, particularly with national and regional banks that often have more resources than we do to invest in growth and technology and community banks with strong local ties, all of which target the same clients we do. Recently, we have seen increased competitive pressures on loan rates and terms and increased competition for deposits. Continued loan pricing pressure may continue to affect our financial results in the future.
For additional information, see “Business: Our markets,” “Business: Competition” and “Risk factors: Risks related to our business.”
Regulatory trends and changes in laws
We are subject to extensive regulation and supervision, which continue to evolve as the legal and regulatory framework governing our operations continues to change. The current operating environment also has heightened supervisory expectations in areas such as consumer compliance, the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance, risk management and internal audit. As a result of these heightened expectations, we expect to incur additional costs for additional compliance, risk management and audit personnel or professional fees associated with advisors and consultants.
As described further under “Business: Supervision and regulation,” we are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act is complex, and many aspects of it are subject to final rulemaking that continues to emerge. Implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act will continue to impact our earnings through higher compliance costs and imposition of new restrictions on our business. The Dodd-Frank Act may also continue to have a material adverse impact on the value of certain assets and liabilities held on our balance sheet. The ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on our business will depend on regulatory interpretation and rulemaking as well as the success of any of our actions to mitigate the negative impacts of certain provisions. Key parts of the Dodd-Frank Act that will specifically impact our business include the repeal of a previous prohibition against payment of interest on demand deposits, the implementation of the Basel III capital adequacy standards, a change in the basis for FDIC deposit insurance assessments, substantial revisions to the regulatory regime applicable to the mortgage market, and enhanced emphasis on consumer protection generally.

Factors
Factor affecting comparability of financial results
S Corporation status
From our formation in 2001 through September 16, 2016, we elected to be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a “Subchapter S corporation” under the provisions of Section 1361 through 1379 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a result, our net income was not subject to, and we have not paid, U.S. federal income taxes, and we have not been required to make any provision or recognize any liability for federal income tax in our financial statements for the periods ending on or prior to September 16, 2016. We terminated our status as a “Subchapter S” corporation in connection with our initial public offering as of September 16, 2016. We commenced paying federal income taxes on our pre-tax net income, and our net income for each fiscal year and each interim period commencing on or after September 16, 2016 will reflect a provision for federal income taxes. As a result of that change in our status under the federal income tax laws during 2016, the net income and earnings per share data presented in our historical financial statements set forth elsewhere in this report, which do not include any provision for federal income taxes, will not be comparable with our 2016 results or future net income and earnings per share in periods in which we are taxed as a C corporation, which will be calculated by including a provision for federal income taxes. Unaudited pro forma amounts for income tax expense and basic and diluted earnings per share are presented in the consolidated statements of income assuming the Company’s pro forma tax rates of 36.75% for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 35.08% for the year ended December 31, 2015 as if it had been a C corporation during those periods. The unaudited pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2016 excludes the effect of recognition of the increase in the deferred tax liability of $13.2 million attributable to the conversion in our taxable status as discussed in Note 15 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Although we have not historically paid federal income tax, in the past, we have made periodic cash distributions to our majority (and formerly sole) shareholder in amounts estimated to be necessary for him to pay his estimated individual U.S. federal income tax liabilities related to our taxable income that was “passed through” to him. However, these distributions have not been consistent, as sometimes the distributions have been lower than or in excess of the shareholder’s estimated individual U.S. federal income tax rates which may differ from the rates imposed on the income of C Corporations. Our historical cash flows and financial condition have been affected by such cash distributions.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using 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 on deferred tax assets and liabilities of the change in tax rates resulting from becoming a C Corporation was recognized in income in the third quarter of 2016 in which such change took place. On September 16, 2016, the Company recorded an additional net deferred tax liability of $13.2 million to recognize the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as of the date that the Company became a taxable corporate entity. In recording the impact of the conversion to a C Corporation, the Company recorded a deferred income tax expense of $3.0 million related to the unrealized gain on available for sale securities through the income statement; therefore, the amount shown in other comprehensive income has not been reduced by the above expense. This difference will remain in OCI until the underlying securities are sold or mature.
Public company costs
On August 19, 2016, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the SEC. That Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on September 15, 2016. We sold and issued 6,764,704 shares of common stock at $19 per share pursuant to that Registration Statement. Total proceeds received, net of offering costs, were approximately $115.5 million. The proceeds were used to fund a $55.0 million distribution to the majority shareholder representing undistributed earnings previously taxed to him under subchapter S, and used to repay all $10.1 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes held by the majority shareholder, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act).
There are additional costs associated with operating as a public company, hiring additional personnel, enhancing technology and expanding additional operational and administrative capabilities. We expect that these costs will include legal, regulatory, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. Sarbanes-Oxley, as well as rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, the FDIC and national securities exchanges also requires public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices. In addition, due to regulatory changes in the banking industry and the implementation of new laws, rules and regulations, we are now subject to higher regulatory compliance costs. These additional rules and regulations also increase our legal, regulatory, accounting and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming.
Tax legislation changes
In addition, on
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”) was enacted into law. The Tax Reform Act provides for significant changes to the U.S. tax code that impact businesses. Effective January 1, 2018, the Tax Reform Act reduces the U.S. federal tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21% for U.S. taxable income and requires a one-time remeasurement of deferred taxes to reflect their value at a lower tax rate of 21%. The Tax Reform Act includes other changes, including, but not limited to, immediate deductions for certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time, additional limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation and limitations on the deductibility of interest. For more information regarding the impact of the Tax Reform Act on the Company, see Note
15,14, “Income Taxes” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Overview of recent financial performance
Results of
operationoperations
Year ended December 31, 2019 compared to year ended December 31, 2018
Our financial performance over the last three years primarilyhistory reflects the success of our growth strategies and the continued favorable economic improvementconditions in our markets, as described above. As a result, we have improved our pre-tax and pro forma net income and profitability over each of the last three years. Our net income increased by 29.1%4.5% in 20172019 to $52.4$83.8 million from $40.6$80.2 million in 2016.2018. Pre-tax net income increased by 11.2$3.7 million, or 17.9%3.48%, from $62.3$105.9 million for the year ended December 31, 20162018 to $73.5$109.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our unaudited pro forma net income2019. Diluted earnings per common share was $2.65 and $2.55 for the year ended 2016 was $39.4 million, up by $6.4 million, compared to the yearyears ended December 31, 2015. Pre-tax net income2019 and unaudited pro forma net income for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $50.8 million and $33.0 million,2018, respectively. There was a 15.2% decrease in net income in 2016 from net income of $47.9 million in 2015 due to our conversion to a C corporation, which included a $13.2 million charge to income related to our conversion to a C corporation in connection with our initial public offering in the third quarter of 2016. Our net income represented a return on average assets, or ROAA, of 1.37%, 1.35%1.45% and 1.86%1.66% in 2017, 20162019 and 2015,2018, respectively, and a return on average shareholders’ equity, or ROAE, of 11.24%, 14.68%11.6% and 20.91%12.7% in 2017, 20162019 and 2015,2018, respectively. Our ratio of return on average tangible common equity ("ROATE") for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was 15.4% and 16.7%, respectively. Our ratio of average shareholders’ equity to average assets in 2017, 20162019 and 20152018 was 12.23%12.5% and 13.0%, 9.22% and 8.88% respectively.
The improvement in pre-tax net income has resulted primarily from growth in ourDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, net interest income which has been enhanced by consistently improved net interest margins. Net interest incomebefore provision for loan losses increased to $154.2$226.0 million compared to $204.1 million in 2017 compared to $112.4 million in 2016 and $96.9 million for 2015. The increase in net interest incomethe year ended December 31, 2018, which was attributable to the success ofan increase in interest income and expense, primarily driven by loan and deposit growth driven by declining interest rates and our growth initiatives. Continued strong demand for our loan products ininitiatives, including the metropolitan markets, the hiring of additional lenders, and a concerted effort to increase customer deposits has fueled our organic growth while the merger with the Clayton Banks on July 31, 2017 has significantly increased our presence in the Knoxville MSA and surrounding community markets.
Noninterest income for 2017 compared to 2016 decreased by $3.1 million, or 2.1%, primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of securities of approximately $4.1 million during the period. This followed a 56.6% increase in noninterest income in 2016 from noninterest income of $92.4 million in 2015 primarily due to the significant increase in mortgage banking income in 2016 which was partially offset by a bargain purchase gain of $2.8 million in 2015. Atlantic Capital branch acquisition.
Our net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, has consistently improved overdecreased to 4.34% for the last three years, increasing to 4.46% in 2017year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to 4.10%4.66% for the year ended December 31, 2018, due primarily to the increase in 2016 and 3.97%cost of funds partially offset by an increase in 2015.contractual loan yield earned on our loan portfolio.
Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased by $4.8 million to $135.4 million from $130.6 from the same period in the previous year. The increase in 2017noninterest income was primarilylargely a result of an increase in ATM and interchange fees related to our growth and volume of business.
Noninterest expense increased to $244.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $223.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2018. The increase in noninterest expense reflects the impact of our acquisition of the Branches, including increases in salaries, commissions and personnel-related costs and increased merger expenses. Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 also reflects expenses of $2.0 million related to our mortgage restructuring.
Year ended December 31, 2018 compared to year ended December 31, 2017
Our net income increased by 53.1% in 2018 to $80.2 million from $52.4 million in 2017.

Our ratio of average shareholders’ equity to average assets in 2018 and 2017 was 13.0% and 12.2%, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, net interest income before provision for loan losses increased to $204.1 million compared to $153.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was attributable to an increase in interest income and expense, primarily driven by loan and deposit growth, reflecting the incorporation of a full year of results from the Clayton Banks merger in addition to increased overall interest rates. Our net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased to 4.66% for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to 4.46% for the year ended December 31, 2017, due to loan and deposit growth, including the impact of the product mix acquired from the Clayton Banks, in addition to an increase in accretioncontractual loan yield during the period offset by elevated costs of funds.

Business segment highlights
We operate our business in two business segments: Banking and Mortgage. See Note
21,20, “Segment Reporting,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for a description of these business segments.
During the first quarter of 2016, management evaluated the current composition of its operating segments –
Banking and Mortgage. The primary focus of the evaluation was on capturing all of the revenue and expenses
Income before taxes from
all customer activities within the Banking segment’s geographic footprint. Specifically, the primary product and service that was not previously captured by the Banking segment
related to our retail mortgage origination activities occurring within our banking geographic footprint and typically within our existing branch network. Therefore, we have reclassified the revenue and associated expenses from the retail mortgage origination activities within the banking geographic footprint into the Banking segment from the Mortgage segment for all periods presented. Based on the review and evaluation of the revised information, our chief executive officer believes that this presentation better presents the results of each segment to enhance overall resource allocation and evaluation of the Company’s performance. Additionally, we believe that the revised results of the Banking segment become more comparable to other banking organizations for analysis and understanding of the Banking segment operating results.As discussed above, the mortgage retail origination activities within the Banking segment contributed the following to Banking segment results:
| | Year Ended December 31, | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Mortgage banking income | | $ | 26,737 | | | $ | 25,542 | | | $ | 18,718 | |
Noninterest expense | | | 21,714 | | | | 16,095 | | | | 13,189 | |
Banking
Income before taxes increased by $4.7$2.4 million, or 8.4%2.29% in the year ended December 31, 20172019 to $60.4$107.1 million as compared to $55.7$104.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2016.2018. The increase reflects an improvement of $40.7 millionresults were primarily driven by increases in net interest income due toof $21.6 million and noninterest income of $9.5 million which was partially offset by an increase of $667.5 million in average loan balances driven by our merger with the Clayton Banks in additionnoninterest expense. Noninterest income increased to 13.9% organic loan growth combined with favorable interest rates and an improved credit environment. Noninterest expense increased $34.4 million, primarily due to increased merger and conversion costs of $15.8 million attributed to our merger with the Clayton Banks in addition to increases in salaries and other costs associated with our growth.
Income before taxes increased by $11.8 million, or 26.8% in the year ended December 31, 2016 to $55.7 million as compared to $43.9$64.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase reflects an improvement of $20.0 million in net interest income due2019 as compared to increase of $222.1 million in average loan balances driven primarily by interest rates and an improved credit environment, the overall economic climate and the implementation of our growth initiatives in addition to our acquisition of NWGB. Noninterest expense increased $18.2 million, primarily due to increases in salaries, other costs associated with our growth and operating of NWGB for the entire year of 2016 compared with approximately three and a half months in 2015
Mortgage
Income before taxes from the mortgage segment increased $6.5$55.4 million in the year ended December 31, 20172018. Noninterest expense increased $27.0 million, primarily due to $13.1 million as compared to $6.6costs associated with our overall growth, including merger costs from the Atlantic Capital branch acquisition and increased salaries, commissions and employee benefits expenses. Results of our Banking Segment also include mortgage retail footprint pre-tax net contribution of $7.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase is primarily attributable2019 compared to increased interest rate lock commitments. Interest rate lock commitment volume increased $1,604.7$3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 20172018.
Mortgage
Income before taxes from the Mortgage segment increased to $7,570.4$2.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $5,965.7$1.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily due to increased volume driven by declining interest rates and higher margins produced by our ConsumerDirect and retail delivery channels. Noninterest income decreased $4.7 million to $70.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 mainly due to a decrease in loan servicing income. Mortgage servicing income decreased $11.2 million to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase2019 compared to the prior year. This decrease included a negative change in interest rate lock commitment volume is primarily due to increased activity in our correspondent delivery channel, which was established in the second quarterfair value of 2016. Noninterest income decreased $2.0 million to $90.2mortgage servicing rights of $26.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 as2019 , which was partially offset by gains of $9.3 million in derivative hedging instruments used to hedge the exposure on the MSRs. The negative change in fair value of MSRs was driven by faster than expected prepayment of loans.
Noninterest income also included fees from origination, gains on sale and fair value changes from loans held for sale, which are primarily driven by interest rate lock volume, interest rates. and overall market conditions. While overall interest rate lock commitment volume decreased $1.22 billion, or 17.1%, during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $92.2the previous year, interest rate lock commitment volume within our ConsumerDirect and retail delivery channels increased a combined $649.7 million, or 16.5% during the year ended December 31, 2019, again compared to the year prior. The decrease in total interest rate lock commitment volume is a result of the mortgage restructuring completed during the third quarter of 2019, which allowed us to concentrate on maximizing profitability of the historically higher margin delivery channels.
Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31,
2016, driven by2019 and 2018 was $68.0 million and $73.6 million, respectively. This decrease is mainly attributable to the
change in delivery channel mix of interest rate lock commitment volume duringmortgage restructuring and decreased mortgage servicing expenses. During the
year. Additionally, on January 1, 2017, fair value accounting was elected on MSRs; the change in fair value is now included in mortgage banking income and amounted to a $4.0 million charge offset by a hedging gain of $0.6 million during the yearyears ended December 31,
2017. Previous to this change, amortization2019 and
impairment of MSRs was included2018, we sold $29.2 million and $39.4 million, respectively, in
noninterest expense and amounted to $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This decline in amortization and impairment was partially offset by an increase in other mortgage noninterest expense of $6.2 million related to the correspondent channel and overall increased production. Interest rate lock commitments in the pipeline at December 31, 2017 were $504.2 million compared with $532.9 million at December 31 2016.Income before taxes from the mortgage segment decreased $0.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2016 to $6.6 million as compared to $6.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2015. This decrease is primarily attributable to increased impairment on mortgage servicing rights during the year ended December 31, 2016rights. No material gains or losses were recognized in addition to a loss on sale of mortgage servicing rights of $4.4 million. Interest rate lock commitment volume increased $2,485.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 to $5,965.7 million as compared to $3,480.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in volume was the result of the expansion of the consumer direct delivery and correspondent delivery channels and a favorable interest rate environment through the majority of 2016. During the fourth quarter of 2016, mortgage rates increased. The combination of this increase in rates and the overall seasonal nature of historical mortgage production caused a decline in the level of interest rate lock commitments during the fourth quarter. Noninterest income increased $40.7 million to $92.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $51.5 for the year ended December 31, 2015, reflecting the significant increased activity in mortgage loan volume. The increase in noninterest income was partially offset by a $38.1 million increase in noninterest expense, which includes an impairment of mortgage servicing rights of $4.7 million in addition to increased personnel and occupancy costs associatedconnection with our growth.

Results of
operationoperations
Throughout the following discussion of our operating results, we present our net interest income, net interest margin and efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis. The fully tax-equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income, which enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.
The adjustment to convert certain income to a tax-equivalent basis consists of dividing tax exempt income by one minus the combined federal and
blended state statutory income tax rate of
39.225%.26.06% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Our net interest income is primarily affected by the interest rate environment and by the volume and the composition of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We utilize net interest margin
or NIM,(“NIM”) which represents net interest income,
on a tax-equivalent basis, divided by average interest-earning assets, to track the performance of our investing and lending activities. We earn interest income from interest, dividends and fees earned on interest-earning assets, as well as from
amortization and accretion of discounts on acquired loans. Our interest-earning assets include loans, time deposits in other financial institutions and securities available for sale. We incur interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, including interest-bearing deposits, borrowings and other forms of indebtedness as well as from amortization of premiums on purchased deposits. Our interest-bearing liabilities include deposits, advances from the FHLB, other borrowingsrepurchase agreements and other liabilities.

Our NIM, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased to 4.34% during the year ended December 31, 2019 from 4.66% in the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily a result of decreased interest income from loans held for sale and increased cost of deposits driven by changes in both volume and rates.
For the year ended December 31, 2017,2019, interest income on loans held for sale increased $6.0decreased $5.7 million to $10.0 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. This resulted from a $3.7 million increase in interest income from higher interest rates and a $2.3 million increase in interest income from growth in volume. For the year ended December 31, 2017, investment income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased to $16.7 million compared to $16.2$15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018 due to a decrease in volume contributing a decline of $3.8 million. The average balance of loans held for sale decreased $97.7 million to $254.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $352.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease includes the impact of the mortgage restructuring, which was completed during the third quarter of 2019. For additional information on the sale, refer to the discussion in this section under the heading "Noninterest income".
Investment securities interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased during the year ended December 31, 2019 to $19.7 million from $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 driven by increased volume. The average balance in the investment portfolio
infor the year ended December 31,
20172019 was
$558.0$671.6 million compared to
$576.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. The decline in the balance is driven by the use of investment cash flow to fund loan growth.Interest expense was $16.3$597.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018.
Interest expense was $56.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $6.8$21.0 million or 71.2%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in deposit interest expense driven by overall increased interest rates and growth in deposit volume driven by our merger with the Clayton Banks. Interest expense on deposits was $13.0 million and $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The cost of total deposits was 0.42% and 0.29% for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.56% and 0.40% for the same periods, respectively.2018. The primary driver for the increase in total interest expense is the increase in money market and time deposit interest expense. Money market interest expense increasedon deposits of $22.0 million to $5.4 million from $2.3$51.6 million for the year ended December 31,
2017 and 2016, respectively, driven by an increase in rate and balances. The rate on money markets was 0.61%, up 24 basis points from year ended December 31, 2016. Time deposit interest expense increased $1.8 2019, compared to $29.5 million to $3.8 million fromfor the year ended December 31, 2016, driven by an2018. The increase was largely attributed to money market and customer time deposits which increased to $17.4 million and $24.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $10.9 million and $10.4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2018. The $6.5 million increase in rate and balances.money market interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily attributed to increased rates with a secondary driver of increased volume. The average rate on time deposits was 0.73%money markets rose to 1.42%, up 2536 basis points from the year ended December 31, 2016 due to the higher renewal rate of maturing accounts.2018. Average time depositmoney market balances increased $110.3$192.6 million to $511.7 million from $401.5$1,219.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2017. 2019 from $1,027.0 million for the same period in the previous year.
The $13.7 million increase is duein customer time deposit interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily attributed to increased volume with a change in product mix attributable to our merger with the Clayton Banks, which increased average brokered and internetsecondary driver of higher rates. Average customer time deposits increased $410.2 million from $744.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $1,155.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The average rate on customer time deposits increased 69 basis points from 1.40% for the year ended December 31, 2018 to 2.09% for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Deposit growth was the result of a time deposit campaign implemented during the second half of 2018 and the $147.1 million in time deposits acquired in the Atlantic Capital branch acquisition. Total cost of total deposits was 1.10% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 0.76% for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Offsetting the increase in total deposit interest expense was a decrease in interest expense on total borrowings, which decreased $1.0 million to $4.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $6.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. The cost of total borrowings decreased to 2.01% for the year ended December 31, 2019 from 2.24% for the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily driven by
$42.2lower interest rates on FHLB advances, with a secondary driver of decreased volume. Average FHLB advances decreased $28.5 million to $187.5 million for the year ended December 31,
20172019 compared to
the same period in 2016. The rate on brokered and internet time deposits carried an inherently higher rate at 1.54% for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The rate on brokered and internet time deposits carried an inherently higher rate at 1.54% for the year ended December 31, 2017 than traditional customer time deposits, which carried a rate of 0.66% for the year ended December 31,2017 compared to 0.48% for the year ended December 31, 2016, reflecting rate increases. Interest expense on borrowings was $3.3 million and $2.2$216.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2017 and 2016, respectively, while the cost of total borrowings was 2.09% and 1.49% for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase2018. This decrease in
expense on borrowing was due primarily to an increase in interest expense onaverage FHLB advances
which increased to $1.7 million from $0.7 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, driven by increased balances primarily related to our funding strategy for the merger with the Clayton Banks in addition to increased rates during the year.Our net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased to 4.46% during the year ended December 31, 2017 from 4.10% in the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of increased loan yield driven primarily by increased volume as a result of our merger with the Clayton Banks in addition to increased contractual rates, accretion on loans purchased from the Clayton Banks and nonaccrual interest income.
Year ended December 31, 2016 compared to year ended December 31, 2015
Net interest income increased 18.2% to $111.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $93.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. On a tax-equivalent basis, net interest income increased $17.4 million to $113.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $95.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in tax equivalent net interest income in year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily driven by higher loan balances, partially due to the success of our acquisition of NWGB, including recognized accretion of the credit discount taken in purchase accounting of $3.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2016.
Interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, was $122.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $104.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $18.1 million. The two largest components of interest income are loan income and investment income. Loan income consists primarily of interest earned on our loan portfolio. Investment income consists primarily of interest earned on our investment portfolio. Loan income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $16.5 million to $94.8 million from $78.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 primarily due to increased average loan balances of $222.1 million in addition to $3.5 million in accretion on loans purchased in our acquisition of NWGB. The tax-equivalent yield on loans was 5.41%, up 29 basis points from the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in yield was primarily due to accretion on loans purchasedpaying down higher rate advances with additional liquidity obtained from NWGB, which yielded 0.20%, in addition to increased origination fees which yielded 0.46%.
Accretion on purchased loans contributed 13 and 1 basis pointsthe Atlantic Capital branch acquisition. For more information about our borrowings, refer to the NIM for each ofdiscussion in this section under the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, nonaccrual interest collections contributed 4 basis points and 0 basis points to the NIM, respectively, while syndicated loan fees contributed 3 basis points and 3 basis points to the NIM during the same periods.
Interest expense was $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $0.6 million, or 7.1%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to an increase in deposit interest expense due to the growth in deposits, which includes our acquisition of NWGB. Interest expense on deposits was $7.3 million and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The cost of total deposits was 0.29% and 0.30% for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.40% and 0.40% for the same periods. The primary driver for the increase in total interest expense is the increase in money market interest expense to $2.3 million from $1.5 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, driven by an increase in rate and balances. The rate on money markets was 0.37%, up 5 basis points from the year ended December 31, 2015. Time deposit interest expense also increased $0.4 million to $1.9 million from the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily as a result of increased balances. The rate on time deposits was 0.48%, down 3 basis points from the year ended December 31, 2015 due to the lower renewal rate of maturing accounts. Average time deposit balances increased $98.1 million to $401.5 million from $303.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased to 4.10% for the year ended December 31, 2016 from 3.97% for the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily as a result of our continued efforts to reduce our cost of funds, growing loans and benefiting from our acquisition of NWGB.

As discussed above, the $48.2 million increase in loan and loans held for sale interest income during the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to year ended December 31, 2016 was the primary driver of the $42.8 increase in net interest income. The increase in loan interest income on loans held for investment of $42.2 million was driven by an increase in average loan balances of $667.5 million, or 38.1%, to $2.4 billion as of December 31, 2017, as compared to $1.8 billion as of year ended December 31, 2016, which was driven by our merger with the Clayton Banks and strong loan growth in our metropolitan markets. The increase in interest income on loans held for sale of $6.0 million was driven by both increases in volume and rates. Average loans held for sale increased $56.8 million or 15.7% over the previous year driven by strong demand throughout our delivery channels and the expansion of our correspondent delivery channel.

Provision for loan losses
The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is an amount which, in the judgment of management, is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that is believed to be adequate to meet the inherent risks of losses in our loan portfolio. Factors considered by management in determining the amount of the provision for loan losses include the internal risk rating of individual credits, historical and current trends in net charge-offs, trends in nonperforming loans, trends in past due loans, trends in the market values of underlying collateral securing loans and the current economic conditions in the markets in which we operate. The determination of the amount is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. See
“Critical Accounting Policies – Allowancediscussion under subheading “Allowance for Loan
Losses.”Losses” in Part II, Item 7 of this Report “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion related to our January 1, 2020 adoption of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments".

Noninterest income was
$141.6$135.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2017, a decrease2019, an increase of
$3.1$4.8 million, or
2.1%3.64%, as compared to
$144.7$130.6 million for the year ended December 31,

Mortgage banking income primarily includes origination fees
on mortgage loans including from wholesale and
third party origination services andrealized gains and losses on the sale of mortgage loans,
unrealized change in fair value of mortgage loans and derivatives,
and mortgage servicing fees, which includes net change in fair vale of MSRs and related derivatives. Mortgage banking income is initially driven by the recognition of interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) at fair value at inception of the IRLCs. This is subsequently adjusted for changes in the
overall interest rate environment offset by derivative contracts entered into to mitigate the interest rate exposure. Upon sale of the loan, the net fair value
of MSRs, and mortgage servicing fees.gain is reclassified as a realized gain on sale. Mortgage banking income was
$116.9$100.9 million and
$117.8$100.7 million for the year ended December 31,
20172019 and
2016,2018, respectively.
During the year ended December 31,
2017,2019, the Bank’s mortgage operations had
closingssales of
$6,331.5 million$4.55 billion which generated
$107.2 milliona sales margin of 2.12%. This compares to $6.15 billion and 1.59% for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in
sales margin is a result of change in product mix due to the mortgage restructuring and market conditions. The overcapacity and slow-down of the mortgage market and overall compressing margins experienced during most of the first quarter of 2019 began to improve during the second quarter of 2019 with lowered interest rates bumping production.

2016. During the fourth quarter of 2016, mortgage rates increased above prevailing rates experienced during the first three quarters of 2016. This increase in rates has caused the level of interest rate lock commitments in the pipeline to decline to approximately $504.2 million at December 31, 2017 from its height of $850.5 million at September 30, 2016 and $532.9 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in gains on sale were driven by an increase in2018. While total interest rate lock volume

to $7,570.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 from the year ended December 31, 2016, due to growth in the correspondent delivery channel, which was established during the second quarter of 2016, offset by declining interest rate lock volume in the consumer direct delivery channel. With the increasing rates and change in mix of sales volume, including a lower contribution margin from the newly established correspondent delivery channel, the Company is currently experiencing a decline in mortgage sales margins from the year ended December 31, 2016. Income from mortgage servicing was $13.2 million and $12.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This increase was offset by a decline in fair value on MSRs for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $3.4 million. The change in fair value included a gain related to the change in fair value of MSR hedging instruments of $0.6 million. The fair value adjustment during the year ended December 31,

mortgage banking income forour ConsumerDirect and retail channels was driven by lower interest rates during the year ended December 31,

MSRs are recognized as a separate assetBranches, which closed on the date the corresponding mortgage loan is sold. Prior to January 1, 2017, MSRs were amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. The amortization of MSRs was determined using the level yield method based on the expected life of the loan and these servicing rights were carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. As of January 1, 2017, we elected to transition our accounting policy to carry MSRs at fair value as permitted under ASC-860-50-35, Transfers and Servicing, which positions us to hedge our MSR portfolio. Fair value is determined using an income approach with various assumptions including expected cash flows, prepayment speeds, market discount rates, servicing costs and other factors. MSRs were carried at fair value at December 31, 2017 and amortized cost less impairment at December 31, 2016. Therefore, there was no amortization expense or impairment losses for the year ended December 31, 2017 as fair value changes under fair value accounting are included in noninterest income as mortgage banking income. Amortization expense amounted to $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Impairment losses on MSRs are recognized to the extent by which the unamortized cost

Software license and maintenance fees for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $1.9 million, a decrease of $1.0 million compared to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This decrease is due to costs associated with the conversion of our core system to Jack Henry Silverlake during the second quarter of 2016.

Salaries and employee benefits expense isincluding the largest component of noninterest expenses representing 58.5% and 60.8% of total noninterest expense in the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016, salaries and employee benefits expense increased $29.8 million, or 35.4%, to $114.0 million as compared to $84.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to the $26.8 million increase in mortgage banking salaries and benefits resulting from the increase in mortgage production, expansion and growth of our senior management team. This also included equity compensation grants that were made in conjunction with our initial public offering to all full-time associates. Salaries and employee benefits expense includes amounts earned under our three management incentive plans that are based on our total assets, tangible book value of consolidated equity and contractually-defined after-tax earnings. Aggregate salaries and employee benefits expense recognized under these incentive plans totaled $5.4 million and $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of September 16, 2016, the dateimpact of the initial public offering, participants in these plans were given the option to convert their equity based incentive plan units to shares of restricted stock units at the IPO price of $19 per share. Additionally, we granted certain employees and executive officers restricted stock units in a total grant value of $18.2 million. Expense related to these grants amounted to $4.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, there was $15.7 million in total unrecognized expense related to these grants and the conversion of the equity based incentive plan units to be recognized over the remaining vesting period.
Occupancy and fixed asset expense in the year ended December 31, 2016 was $12.6 million, an increase of $1.8 million, compared to $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase was attributable to expansion in mortgage, the addition of our newAtlantic Capital branch in the Nashville MSA and the acquisition of NWGB, which would have been included for the full year in 2016.
Legal and professional fees were $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in legal and professional fees is attributable to additional professional services related to our growth and volume of business.
Data processing costs increased $2.1 million, or 103.7%, to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2016 was attributable to costs associated with the conversion of our core system to Jack Henry Silverlake during the second quarter of 2016.
Merger and conversion expenses related to the acquisition of NWGB and conversion of our core processing system were $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. We do not anticipate incurring additional costs related to our acquisition of NWGB or our core processor conversion from Cardinal to Jack Henry Silverlake.
acquisition.
Amortization of intangible assets totaled $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This amortization relates to core deposit intangible assets, which are being amortized over their useful lives. As of December 31, 2016, these intangible assets have remaining estimated useful lives of approximately 9 years.
Prior to 2014, all of our mortgage loan sales transferred servicing rights to the buyer. Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, we began retaining some servicing rights. These MSRs are recognized as a separate asset on the date the corresponding mortgage loan is sold. MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. The amortization of MSRs is determined using the level yield method based on the expected life of the loan. These MSRs are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach with various assumptions including expected cash flows, prepayment speeds, market discount rates, servicing costs and other factors. MSRs were carried at amortized cost less impairment of $32.1 million and $29.7 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and amortization expense amounted to $8.3 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Impairment losses on MSRs are recognized to the extent by which the unamortized cost exceeds fair value. Impairment losses on MSRs of $4.7 million and $194 thousand were recognized in earnings in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Regulatory fees and deposit insurance assessments were relatively flat, amounting to $2.0 million and $2.2 million for year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Expenses related to foreclosed assets for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $907 thousand, an increase of $264 thousand compared to $643 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015. Legal fees related to foreclosed real estate sold was the primary driver for the increase.
Software license and maintenance fees for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $2.9 million, an increase of $0.9 million compared to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase is due to our growth and customization costs associated with the conversion of our core system to Jack Henry Silverlake during the second quarter of 2016.
Advertising costs for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $10.6 million, an increase of $2.5 million compared to $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase was largely driven by the mortgage segment’s internet delivery channel and communications surrounding our second quarter conversion to Jack Henry Silverlake.
Other noninterest expense for year ended December 31, 2016 was $21.3 million, an increase of $4.2 million from the year ended December 31, 2015, reflecting an increase of various expenses in mortgage banking activities and overall growth, including from the acquisition of NWGB.
Efficiency ratio
The efficiency ratio is one measure of productivity in the banking industry. This ratio is calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. We calculate this ratio by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. For an adjusted efficiency ratio, we exclude certain gains,
losses and expenses we do not consider core to our business.
Our efficiency ratio was 75.40%, 76.20%67.7% and 74.36%66.8% for the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162019 and 2015,2018, respectively. Our adjusted efficiency ratio, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 67.31%, 70.59%65.4% and 73.10%65.8% for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 2019and 2015,2018, respectively. See “GAAP reconciliation and management explanation of non-GAAP financial measures” in this Report for a discussion of the adjusted efficiency ratio. Return on equity and assets

Income tax expense was $21.1 million, $21.7$25.7 million and $3.0$25.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 2019and 2015,2018, respectively. IncomeThis represents effective tax expenserates of 23.5% and 24.2% for the year ended December 31, 2017 reflects a $5.9 million adjustment to reduce the deferred tax liability resulting2019 and 2018 , respectively. The primary differences from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduction in federal tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% enacted on December 22, 2017. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 includes the $13.2 million increase in deferred tax liability associated with our conversion to a C corporation. From our formation in 2001 through September 16, 2016, we elected to be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a “Subchapter S corporation” under the provisions of Section 1361 through 1379 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, our net income was not subject to, and we did not pay, U.S. federalrates are applicable state income taxes and we were not required to make any provision or recognize any liabilityreduced for federal income tax in our financial statements for the periods ending on or prior to June 30, 2016. We terminated our status as an S Corporation in connection with our initial public offering as of September 16, 2016. We commenced paying federal income taxes on our pre-tax net income in the third quarter of 2016 and our net income for each fiscal year and each interim period commencing on or after September 16, 2016 and each such period reflect a provision for federal income taxes. See “Pro forma income tax expense and net income” below for a discussion on what our income tax expense and net income would have been had we been taxed as a C Corporation for the full periods.Pro forma income tax expense and net income
We have determined that had we been taxed as a C Corporation and paid U.S. federal income tax for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, our combined effective income tax rate would have been 36.75% and 35.08% respectively. These pro forma effective rates reflect a U.S. federal income statutory tax rate of 35.00% on corporatenon-taxable income and additional deductions for equity-based compensation upon the fact that a portiondistribution of our net income in each of these periods was derived from nontaxable investment income, a bargain purchase gain in the third quarter of 2015, and other nondeductible expenses. Our net income for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $40.6 million and $47.9 million, respectively, and our tax-equivalent net interest income for the same periods was $113.3 million and $95.9 million, respectively. Had we been subject to U.S. federal income tax during these periods, on a pro forma basis, our provision for combined federal and state income tax would have been $22.9 million and $17.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increases in such pro forma provision for U.S. federal income tax would have resulted primarily from the increase in our net income for such periods. As a result of the foregoing factors, our unaudited pro forma net income (after U.S. federal income tax) for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 would have been $39.4 million and $33.0 million, respectively.

Our loan portfolio is our most significant earning asset, comprising 67.0%72.0% and 56.4%71.4% of our total assets as of December 31, 20172019 and 2016,December 31, 2018, respectively. Our strategy is to grow our loan portfolio by originating quality commercial and consumer loans that comply with our credit policies and that produce revenues consistent with our financial objectives. Our overall lending approach is primarily focused on providing credit to our customers directly rather than purchasing loan syndications and loan participations from other banks (collectively, “Purchased loans”). At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, loans held for investment included approximately $62.9 million and $29.7 million, respectively, related to Purchased loans. Currently, our loan portfolio is diversified relative to industry concentrations across the various loan portfolio categories. At December 31, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, our outstanding loans to the broader healthcare industry made up less than 5% of our total outstanding loans and are spread across nursing homes, assisted living facilities, outpatient mental health and substance abuse centers, home health care services, and medical practices within our geographic markets. Additionally, at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our outstanding loans to hotels made up less than 5% of our total outstanding loans. Our overall lending approach is primarily focused on providing credit to our customers directly rather than purchasing loan syndications and loan participations from other banks (collectively, “Participated loans”). At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, loans held for investment included approximately $103.4 million and $88.8 million, respectively, related to participated loans. We believe our loan portfolio is well-balanced, which provides us with the opportunity to grow while monitoring our loan concentrations.

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a number of borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At December 31, 20172019 and 2016,December 31, 2018, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of loans other than the categories of loans disclosed in the table above.
Banking regulators have established thresholds of less than 100% for concentrations in construction lending and less than 300% for concentrations in commercial real estate lending that management monitors as part of the risk management process. The construction concentration ratio is a percentage of the outstanding construction and land development loans to total risk-based capital. The commercial real estate concentration ratio is a percentage of the outstanding balance of non-owner occupied commercial real estate, multifamily, and construction and land development loans to total risk-based capital. Management strives to operate within the thresholds set forth above.
When a company's ratios are in excess of one or both of these guidelines, banking regulators generally require an increased level of monitoring in these lending areas by management.
The table below shows concentration ratios for the Bank and Company as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which both were within the stated thresholds.

The principal categories of our loans held for investment portfolio are discussed
below and in the “Business: Products and Services: Lending Strategy” section of this Annual Report.below:
Commercial and industrial loans. We provide a mix of variable and fixed rate commercial and industrial loans. Our commercial and industrial loans are typically made to small and medium-sized manufacturing, wholesale, retail and service businesses for working capital and operating needs and business expansions, including the purchase of capital equipment and loans made to farmers relating to their operations. This category also includes loans secured by manufactured housing receivables. Commercial and industrial loans generally include lines of credit and loans with maturities of five years or less. The loans are generally made with operating cash flows as the primary source of repayment, but may also include collateralization by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and personal guarantees. We plan to continue to make commercial and industrial loans an area of emphasis in our lending operations in the future. As of December 31, 2017,2019, our commercial and industrial loans comprised of $715.1$1,034.0 million, or 23% of loans, compared to $386.2$867.1 million, or 21%24% of loans, as of December 31, 2016.2018. Commercial real estate owner-occupied loans. Our commercial real estate owner-occupied loans include loans to finance commercial real estate owner occupied properties for various purposes including use as offices, warehouses, production facilities, health care facilities, retail centers, restaurants, churches and agricultural based facilities. Commercial real estate owner-occupied loans are typically repaid through the ongoing business operations of the borrower, and hence are dependent on the success of the underlying business for repayment and are more exposed to general economic conditions. As of December 31, 2017,2019, our owner occupied commercial real estate loans comprised $495.9$630.3 million, or 16%14% of loans, compared to $357.3$493.5 million, or 19%13%, of loans, as of December 31, 2016.2018.
Commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans. Our commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans include loans to finance commercial real estate non-owner occupied investment properties for various purposes including use as offices, warehouses, health care facilities, hotels, mixed-use residential/commercial, manufactured housing communities, retail centers, multifamily properties, assisted living facilities and agricultural based facilities. Commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans are typically repaid with the funds received from the sale of the completed property or rental proceeds from such property, and are therefore more sensitive to adverse conditions in the real estate market, which can also be affected by general economic conditions. As of December 31, 2017,2019, our non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans comprised $551.6$920.7 million, or 17%21%, of loans, compared to $267.9$700.2 million, or 15%,19% of loans, as of December 31, 2016.2018.
Residential real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans. Our residential real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans are primarily made with respect to and secured by single family homes, including manufactured homes with real estate, which are both owner-occupied and investor owned. We intend to continue to make residential 1-4 family housing loans at a similar pace, so long as housing values in our markets do not deteriorate from current prevailing levels and we are able to make such loans consistent with our current credit and underwriting standards. First lien residential 1-4 family mortgages may be affected by unemployment or underemployment and deteriorating market values of real estate. As of December 31, 2017,2019, our residential real estate mortgage loans comprised $481.0$710.5 million, or 15%16% of loans, compared to $294.9$555.8 million, or 16%, of loans as of December 31, 2016.2018. Residential line of credit loans. Our residential line of credit loans are primarily revolving, open-end lines of credit secured by 1-4 family residential properties. We intend to continue to make residential line of credit loans if housing values in our markets do not deteriorate from current prevailing levels and we are able to make such loans consistent with our current credit and underwriting standards. Residential line of credit loans may be affected by unemployment or underemployment and deteriorating market values of real estate. Our home equity loans as of December 31, 20172019 comprised $195.0$221.5 million or 6%5% of loans compared to $177.2$190.5 million, or 10%5%, of loans as of December 31, 2016.2018.
Multi-family residential loans. Our multi-family residential loans are primarily secured by multi-family properties, such as apartments and condominium buildings. These loans may be affected by unemployment or underemployment and deteriorating market values of real estate. Our multifamily loans as of December 31, 20172019 comprised $62.4$69.4 million, or 2% of loans, compared to $45.0$75.5 million, or 2%, of loans as of December 31, 2016.2018. Construction loans. Our construction loans include commercial construction, land acquisition and land development loans and single-family interim construction loans to small- and medium-sized businesses and individuals. These loans are generally secured by the land or the real property being built and are made based on our assessment of the value of the property on an as-completed basis. We expect to continue to make construction loans at a similar pace so long as demand continues and the market for and values of such properties remain stable or continue to improve in our markets. These loans can carry risk of repayment when projects incur cost overruns, have an increase in the price of building materials, encounter zoning and environmental issues, or encounter other factors that may affect the completion of a project on time and on budget. Additionally, repayment risk may be negatively impacted when the market experiences a deterioration in the value of real estate. As of December 31, 2017,2019, our construction loans comprised $448.3$551.1 million, or 14%13% of loans compared to $245.9$556.1 million, or 13%15% of loans as of December 31, 2016.2018. Consumer and other loans. Consumer and other loans include consumer loans made to individuals for personal, family and household purposes, including car, boat and other recreational vehicle loans and personal lines of credit. Consumer loans are generally secured by vehicles and other household goods. The collateral securing consumer loans may depreciate over time. The company seeks to minimize these risks through its underwriting standards. Other loans also include loans to states and political subdivisions in the U.S. These loans are generally subject to the risk that the borrowing municipality or political subdivision may lose a significant portion of its tax base or that the project for which the loan was made may produce inadequate revenue. None of these categories of loans represents a significant portion of our loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2017,2019, our consumer and other loans comprised $217.7$272.1 million, or 7%6% of loans, compared to $74.3$228.9 million, or 4%6% of loans as of December 31, 2016.2018.

In order to operate with a sound risk profile, we focus on originating loans that we believe to be of high quality. We have established loan approval policies and procedures to assist us in maintaining the overall quality of our loan portfolio. When delinquencies in our loans exist, we rigorously monitor the levels of such delinquencies for any negative or adverse trends. From time to time, we may modify loans to extend the term or make other concessions,
including extensions or interest rate modifications, to help a borrower with a deteriorating financial condition stay current on their loan and to avoid foreclosure.
We generally do not forgive principal or interest on loans or modify the interest rates on loans to rates that are below market rates. Furthermore, we are committed to collecting on all of our loans and
as a result, at times have lower net charge-offs compared to many of our peer banks. This practicewhich can result in us carrying higher nonperforming
assets on our books than our peers; however, our nonperforming assets in recent years has been lower than peers due to strong asset quality.assets. We believe
that our commitmentthis practice leads to
collecting on all of our loans resultshigher recoveries in
higher loan recoveries.the long-term.
Our nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned and other miscellaneous non-earning assets. Nonperforming loans are those on which the accrual of interest has stopped, as well as loans that are contractually 90 days past due on which interest continues to accrue. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the full collection of principal or interest is in doubt or when the payment of principal or interest has been contractually 90 days past due, unless the obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection. In our loan review process, we seek to identify and proactively address nonperforming loans.
Purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. However, these loans are considered
asto be performing, even though they may be contractually past due, as any non-payment of contractual principal or interest is considered in the periodic re-estimation of expected cash flows and is included in the resulting recognition of current period covered loan loss provision or future period yield adjustments. The accrual of interest is discontinued on PCI loans if management can no longer reliably estimate future cash flows on the loan. No PCI loans were classified as nonaccrual at December 31,
20172019 or December 31,
20162018 as the carrying value of the respective loan or pool of loans cash flows were considered estimable and probable of collection. Therefore, interest revenue, through accretion of the difference between the carrying value of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all PCI loans.
For the year ended PCI contractually past due 30-89 days amounted to $3.0 million and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2017, the amount of loans held for sale that are2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and an additional $0.8 million and $4.1 million were contractually past due 90 days or more past due includes government guaranteed GNMA mortgage loans that the Bank, as the original transferor and servicer, has the right, but not obligation, to repurchase totaling $43.0 million atof December 31, 2017. We have not exercised2019 and do not expect to exercise the repurchase option. We also recorded an offsetting liability in the same amount. Amounts for prior periods were not material.
December 31, 2018, respectively.
As of December 31, 20172019 and 2016,December 31, 2018, we had $72.3$47.1 million and $19.1$31.4 million, respectively, in nonperforming assets. If suchAs of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, other real estate owned included $9.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of excess land and facilities resulting from our acquisitions. Other nonperforming assets, would haveincluding other repossessed non-real estate, as of December 31, 2019and December 31, 2018 amounted to $1.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were $51.7 million and $67.4 million of delinquent GNMA loans that had previously been currentsold; however, we determined there not to be a more-than-trivial benefit of rebooking based on an analysis of interest rates and an assessment of potential reputational risk associated with these loans. As such, these were not recorded on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. We continue to assess this on a quarterly basis.
We had net interest recoveries of $0.9 million and $1.4 million during the year ended December 31,
20172019 and
2016, we would have recorded an additional $0.5 million and $1.0 million of interest income,2018, respectively.
We had net interest recoveries of $3.3 million and $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, recognized on loans that had previously been charged off or classified as nonperforming in previous periods.

2016. The decline in our nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans is the result of the consistent improvement in our overall credit quality as economic conditions in our markets have remained strong throughout 2017.2018. Our coverage ratio, or our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of our nonperforming loans, was

Management has evaluated the aforementioned loans and other loans classified as nonperforming and believes that all nonperforming loans have been adequately reserved for in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2017.2019. Management
also continually monitors past due loans for potential credit quality deterioration.
LoansExcluding PCI loans, loans 30-89 days past due were
$15.1$18.5 million at December 31,

$5.7$9.2 million
for the year endedat December 31,
2016.Under acquisition accounting rules,2018.
For acquired loans,
were recorded at their estimated fair value. We recorded the loan portfolio acquired from the Clayton Banks at fair value as of the acquisition date, which resulted in a discount to the loan portfolio’s previous carrying value. Neitherneither the credit portion nor any other portion of the fair value
markdiscount is reflected in the reported allowance for loan and lease losses.
However, as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance included $1.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in reserves related to subsequent deterioration on loans acquired in our previous mergers and acquisitions.
Other real estate owned consistconsists of properties acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure in addition to excess land and facilities held for sale. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value based on appraised value less estimated selling costs. Losses arising at the time of foreclosure of properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Reductions in the carrying value subsequent to acquisitionforeclosure are charged to earnings and are included in “Gain (loss)“(Loss) gain on sales or write-downs of other real estate owned” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Foreclosed assetsOther real estate owned with a cost basis of $5.4$4.0 million were sold as of year ended December 31, 2017,2019, resulting in a net gain of $0.8$0.5 million. Foreclosed assetsOther real estate owned with a cost basis of $6.7$5.8 million were sold during the year ended December 31, 2016,2018, resulting in a net loss of $1.3 million.$99 thousand.
Classified loans
Accounting standards require us to identify loans, where full repayment of principal and interest is doubtful, as impaired loans. These standards require that impaired loans be valued at the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or using one of the following methods: the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. We have implemented these standards in our quarterly review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and identify and value impaired loans in accordance with guidance on these standards. As part of the review process, we also identify loans classified as watch, which have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention.

$38.6$66.5 million were classified as substandard under our policy at December 31,

Allowance for loan losses
The allowance for loan losses is the amount that, based on our judgment, is required to absorb probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio and that, in management’s judgment, is appropriate under GAAP. The determination of the amount of the allowance is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are loss exposure at default, the amount and timing of future cash flows on impacted loans, value of collateral and determination of the loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio.
Our methodology for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses includes a general allowance for performing loans, which are grouped based on similar characteristics, and an allocated allowance for individual impaired loans. Actual credit losses or recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowance.
The appropriate level of the allowance is established on a quarterly basis after input from management and our loan review staff and is based on an ongoing analysis of the credit risk of our loan portfolio. In making our evaluation of the credit risk of the loan portfolio, we consider factors such as the volume, growth and composition of our loan portfolio, the diversification by industry of our commercial loan portfolio, the effect of changes in the local real estate market on collateral values, trends in past dues, our experience as a lender, changes in lending policies, the effects on our loan portfolio of current economic indicators and their probable impact on borrowers, historical loan loss experience, industry loan loss experience, the amount of nonperforming loans and related collateral and the evaluation of our loan portfolio by our loan review function.
In addition, on a regular basis, management and the Bank’s Boardboard of Directorsdirectors review loan ratios.credit metrics. These ratiosmetrics include the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans, net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans, the provision for loan losses as a percentage of average loans, nonperforming loans as a percentage of loans and the allowance coverage on nonperforming loans. Also, management reviews past due ratios by relationship manager, individual markets and the Bank as a whole. The allowance for loan losses was $24.0$31.1 million and $21.7$28.9 million and represented 0.71% and 0.79% of loans held for investment at December 31, 20172019 and 2016,December 31, 2018, respectively. This decrease is the result of current credit quality and was also impacted by the addition of purchased loans from our branch acquisition from Atlantic Capital, which contributed to this decrease as newly purchased loans were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date and do not carry a significant allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2019.
Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted new accounting guidance which requires current expected credit losses ("CECL") be estimated that management expects to be incurred over the life of the loan portfolio, resulting in the transition from our historical allowance for loan losses to an allowance for credit losses ("ACL"). This change in accounting estimate is currently expected to result in an ACL as of January 1, 2020 in the range of $60.0 million to $70.0 million, increasing from the allowance for loan losses reported as of December 31, 2019 of $31.1 million. This would result in an estimated $20.0 million to $31.0 million reduction, net of taxes, to retained earnings upon adoption. Additionally, the adoption will result in an increase to future
reported nonperforming loans as purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans (formerly PCI loans) will no longer be excluded from our nonperforming metrics. If PCI loans would have been included in nonperforming loans held for investment at December 31, 2019, our total nonperforming loans would have increased by $5.1 million and our nonperforming loans held for investment as a percentage of our total loans held for investment would have been 0.72% of total loans held for investment. These estimates are contingent upon continued refinement of assumptions, methodologies and judgments, which we will continue to finalize through the first quarter of 2020.
We have adopted the option provided by the regulatory capital framework that permits institutions to limit the initial regulatory capital day-one adverse impact by allowing a three-year phase in period for this impact. Based on the three-year phase in option allowed by the regulatory framework, we expect that all capital ratios will remain well in excess of minimum capital ratios.

Mortgage loans to be sold are sold either on a “best efforts” basis or under a mandatory delivery sales agreement. Under a “best efforts” sales agreement, residential real estate originations are locked in at a contractual rate with third party private investors or directly with government sponsored agencies, and we are obligated to sell the mortgages to such investors only if the mortgages are closed and funded. The risk we assume is conditioned upon loan underwriting and market conditions in the national mortgage market. Under a mandatory delivery sales agreement, we commit to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price and delivery date. Penalties are paid to the investor if we fail to satisfy the contract. Gains and losses are realized at the time consideration is received and all other criteria for sales treatment have been met. These loans are typically sold within thirty days after the loan is funded. Although loan fees and some interest income are derived from mortgage loans held for sale, the main source of income is gains from the sale of these loans in the secondary market.
Deposits represent the Bank’s primary source of funds. We continue to focus on growing core
customer deposits through our relationship driven banking philosophy, community-focused marketing programs, and initiatives such as the development of our treasury management services.
Total deposits were $3.66$4.93 billion and $2.67$4.17 billion as of December 31, 20172019 and 2016,December 31, 2018, respectively. Noninterest-bearing deposits at December 31, 20172019 and 2016December 31, 2018 were $888.2$1,208.2 million and $697.1$949.1 million, respectively, while interest-bearing deposits were $2,776.2 million$3.73 billion and $1,974.5 million$3.22 billion at December 31, 20172019 and 2016,December 31, 2018, respectively. The 37.2%18.3% increase in total deposits is mainly attributablepartially attributed to our merger with the Clayton Banks, which contributed interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits with a fair value asacquisition of July 31, 2017 of $670.1$588.9 million and $309.5 million, respectively. Interest-bearingin deposits acquired included brokeredfrom the Branches, continued focus on core customer deposit growth, and increased escrow deposits that our third party servicing provider, Cenlar, transferred to the Bank.
Brokered and internet time deposits with a July 31, 2017 fair value amounting to $129.3 million. Due to the merger with the Clayton Banks, brokered and internet time deposits have increased from $1.5 million at December 31, 2016 to $85.7 million at2019 and December 31, 2017. Due2018 were $20.4 million and $103.1 million, respectively. The decrease of $82.8 million was due to inherently high interest rates associatedexpected maturity of brokered deposits while replacing with brokered and internet time deposits, compared to traditional customer time deposits, we have strategically reduced this balance by $43.6 million since the merger on July 31, 2017 and will continue to focus on reducing this balance in 2018. lower cost funds, which is consistent with our asset liability management strategy.
Included in noninterest-bearing deposits are certain mortgage escrow and related customer deposits that our third party servicethird-party servicing provider, Cenlar, began transferringtransfers to the Bank which totaled $53.7$92.6 million and $46.8$53.5 million as ofat December 31, 20172019 and 2016,December 31, 2018, respectively. Additionally, our deposits from municipal and governmental entities (i.e. "public deposits") totaled $463.1 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $448.2 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in public deposits is mainly attributed to notable increase concentrated in a few large customers and the addition of new customers.
Our deposit base also includes certain commercial and high net worth individuals that periodically place deposits with the Bank for short periods of time and can from period to period cause fluctuations in the overall level of customer deposits outstanding. These fluctuations may include certain deposits from related parties as disclosed in Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. The mix between noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits as of December 31, 2019 shifted slightly withdue to growth of noninterest-bearing deposits and the merger with the Clayton Banks; however, managementmaturity and non-renewal of brokered, internet and other time deposits when compared to December 31, 2018. Management continues to focus on strategic pricing to growgrowing noninterest-bearing deposits while allowing more costly funding sources including certain time deposits, to mature.

Borrowed funds
Borrowed funds
Deposits and investment securities available for sale are the primary source of funds for our lending activities and general business purposes. However, we may also obtain advances from the FHLB, purchase federal funds and engage in overnight borrowing from the Federal Reserve, correspondent banks, or enter into client purchase agreements. We also use these sources of funds as part of our asset liability management process to control our long-term interest rate risk exposure, even if it may increase our short-term cost of funds. This may include match funding of fixed-rate loans.
Our level of short-term borrowing can fluctuate on a daily basis depending on funding needs and the source of funds to satisfy the
needs.Total borrowingsneeds in addition to the overall interest rate environment and cost of public funds. Borrowings include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, lines of credit, advances from the FHLB, federal funds juniorand subordinated debentures and related party subordinated debt.

The FHLB advances as of December 31, 2019 includes two long-term advances with putable features totaling $150.0 million. These two long-term advances of $100.0 million and $50.0 million carry maximum final terms of 10 years and 7 years, respectively. However, the FHLB owns the option to cancel the advances after one year and quarterly thereafter at predeterminable fixed rates of 1.24% and 1.37%, respectively. Long-term advances of $1.8 million as of December 31, 2018, contain no such putable features. There were no overnight cash management advances (CMAs) as of December 31, 2019 and $80.0 million as of December 31, 2018, respectively.

respectively.
Subordinated debt
We have two wholly-owned subsidiaries that are statutory business trusts (“Trusts”). The Trusts were created for the sole purpose of issuing 30-year capital trust preferred securities to fund the purchase of junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company. As of December 31, 20172019 and 2016,2018, our $0.9 million investment in the Trusts was included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and our $30.0 million obligation is reflected as junior subordinated debt, respectively. The junior subordinated debt bears interest at floating interest rates based on a spread over 3-month LIBOR plus 315 basis points (4.82%(5.10% and 4.25%5.97% at December 31, 20172019 and 2016,2018, respectively) for the $21.7 million debenture and 3-month LIBOR plus 325 basis points (4.59% (5.19%and 4.15%5.65% at December 31, 20172019 and 2016,December 31, 2018, respectively) for the remaining $9.3 million. The $9.3 million debenture may be redeemed prior to the 2033 maturity date upon the occurrence of a special event, and the $21.7 million debenture may be redeemed prior to 2033 at our option. During 2017, we began hedging interest rate exposure through 90 day interest rate swaps amounting to $30.0 million. Liquidity and capital resources
Bank liquidity management
We are expected to maintain adequate liquidity at the Bank to meet the cash flow requirements of clients who may be either depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Our
assetLiquidity and
liability management policyInterest Rate Risk Policy is intended to cause the Bank to maintain adequate liquidity and, therefore, enhance our ability to raise funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals and lending needs, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise sustain our operations. We accomplish this through management of the maturities of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We believe that our present position is adequate to meet our current and future liquidity needs.
We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all of our short-term and long-term cash requirements. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of clients, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholder. We also monitor our liquidity requirements in light of interest rate trends, changes in the economy and the scheduled maturity and interest rate sensitivity of the investment and loan portfolios and deposits.
As part of our liquidity management strategy, we are also focused on minimizing our costs of liquidity and attempt to decrease these costs by growing our
noninterest bearingnoninterest-bearing and other low-cost deposits and replacing higher cost funding including time deposits and borrowed funds. While we do not control the types of deposit instruments our clients choose, we do influence those choices with the rates and the deposit specials we offer. As a result of these strategies, we have been able to maintain a relatively low cost of
funds in an increasing rate environment.funds.
Our investment portfolio is another alternative for meeting liquidity needs. These assets generally have readily available markets that offer conversions to cash as needed. Securities within our investment portfolio are also used to secure certain deposit types and short-term borrowings. At December 31,
20172019 and
2016,2018, securities with a carrying value of
$337.6$373.7 million and
$390.8$326.2 million, respectively, were pledged to secure government, public, trust and other deposits and as collateral for short- term borrowings, letters of credit and derivative instruments.
Additionally, we have FHLB line of credit to secure public funds totaling $75.0 million at December 31, 2019.
Additional sources of liquidity include federal funds purchased,
FHLB borrowings, and
advances from the FHLB.lines of credit. Interest is charged at the prevailing market rate on federal funds purchased and FHLB advances.
The balance of outstanding overnight borrowings with the FHLB at December 31, 2017Funds and
2016 was $190.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively. Fundsadvances obtained from the FHLB are
generally used primarily
to match-fund fixed rate loans in order to minimize interest rate risk and also be used to meet day to day liquidity needs, particularly when the cost of such borrowing compares favorably to the rates that we would be required to pay to attract deposits.
There were no outstanding overnight CMAs at December 31, 2019 and $80.0 million at December 31, 2018. During the third quarter of 2017, $100.0 million of 90 day fixed-rate advances were borrowed as part of the funding strategy
offor the merger with the Clayton Banks as described in management’s discussion and analysis on lines of credit and other borrowings.
Given their functional purpose of securing longer-term funding and our intention to utilize them in a longer-term capacity, we categorize these FHLB advances as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31,
20172019 and
2016,2018, the balance of our outstanding additional
long termlong-term advances with the FHLB were
$12.4$150.0 million and
$14.0$1.8 million, respectively. The remaining balance available with the FHLB was
$369.1$435.6 million and
$312.6$455.2 million at December 31,
20172019 and
2016.2018. We also maintain lines of credit with other commercial banks totaling
$165.0$305.0 million and $240.0 million as of December 31,
20172019 and
2016.2018. These are unsecured, uncommitted lines of
credit typically maturing at various times within the next twelve months. There were no amounts outstanding under theseborrowings against the lines of credit at December 31, 2017 or 2016.

Holding company liquidity management
The Company is a corporation separate and apart from the Bank and, therefore, it must provide for its own liquidity. The Company’s main source of funding is dividends declared and paid to it by the Bank. Statutory and regulatory limitations exist that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. Management believes that these limitations will not impact the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing short-term cash obligations. For additional information regarding dividend restrictions, see the
“Business:“Item 1. Business - Supervision and
Regulation,regulation,”
section"Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks related to our business" and " Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Dividend Policy," each of which is set forth in
thisour Annual Report.
Due to state banking laws, the Bank may not declare dividends in any calendar year in an amount
that would exceed an amount equal toexceeding the total of its net income for that year combined with its retained net income of the preceding two years, without the prior approval of the
TDFI.Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions ("TDFI"). Based upon this regulation, as of December 31,
20172019 and
2016, $105.52018, $223.7 million and
$66.2$164.9 million of the Bank’s retained earnings were available for the payment of dividends without such prior approval. In addition, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.
The No cash dividends from the Bank also paid dividends of approximately $14.9 million to the Company inwere paid during the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018.
During the year ended December 31,
2016 for2019, the Company declared dividends
of $0.32 per share, or $10.2 million, respectively. Subsequent to

needs and may receive dividends in future from the Bank to fund such future dividends.
The Company is party to a registration rights agreement with its former majority shareholder entered into in connection with the 2016 IPO, under which the Company is responsible for payment of expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions) relating to sales to the public by the shareholder of shares of the Company's common stock beneficially owned by him. Such expenses include registration fees, legal and accounting fees, and printing costs payable by the Company and expensed when incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company paid $0.7 million under this agreement. No such expenses were incurred for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company obtained a line of credit for $20.0 million, of which $15.0 million was borrowed to fund the cash consideration paid in connection with the Farmers National merger.
Capital management and regulatory capital requirements
Our capital management consists of providing adequate equity to support our current and future operations. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies, including the TDFI, Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements may prompt certain actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components of capital, risk weightings and other factors.
As a result of recent developments such as the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III, we have become subject to increasingly stringent regulatory capital requirements beginning in 2015.
The Federal Reserve the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the CurrencyFDIC have issued guidelines governing the levels of capital that banks must maintain. Those guidelines specify capital tiers, which include the classifications set forth in the following table. As of December 31, 20172019 and 2016,December 31, 2018, we exceeded all capital ratio requirements under prompt corrective action and other regulatory requirements, as detailed in the table below:

We also have outstanding junior subordinated debentures with a carrying value of $30.9$30.0 million at December 31, 20172019 and 2016, of2018, which $30.0 million are included in our Tier 1 capital.
The Federal Reserve Board issued rules in March 2005 providing
more strictstricter quantitative limits on the amount of securities that, similar to our junior subordinated debentures, are includable in Tier 1 capital. This guidance, which became fully
phased-ineffective in March 2009, did not impact the amount of debentures we include in Tier 1 capital.
In addition, althoughWhile our existing junior subordinated debentures are unaffected and are included in our Tier 1 capital,
on account of changes enacted as part of the Dodd-Frank Act
specifies that any
trust preferredsuch securities issued after May 19, 2010 may not be included in Tier 1 capital.
In July 2013, the Federal Reserve
the FDIC and the
Office of the Comptroller of the CurrencyFDIC approved the implementation of the
U.S. Basel III
regulatory capital reforms and issued rulesCapital Rules affecting certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act,
which we refer to as the Basel III Rules, that
callcalled for broad and comprehensive revision of regulatory capital standards for U.S. banking organizations. The
U.S. Basel III
Capital Rules
implementimplemented a new
common equity Tier 1 minimum
capitalCET1 Capital requirement, a higher minimum Tier 1 capital requirement and other items that
will affectimpact the calculation of the numerator of a banking organization’s risk-based capital ratios. Additionally,
theU.S. Basel III
Capital Rules apply limits to a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a specified amount of
common equity Tier 1CET1 capital in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.
The new common equity Tier
When fully implemented on January 1, capital2019, the CET1 Capital ratio includes common equity as defined under GAAP and does not include any other type of non-common equity under GAAP. When theWith U.S. Basel III Capital Rules are fully phasedeffective in 2019, banks will beare required to have common equity Tier 1 capitalCET1 Capital of 4.5% of average assets, Tier 1 capital of 6% of averagerisk-weighted assets, as compared to the current 4%, and total capital of 8% of risk-weighted assets to be categorized as adequately capitalized.
The
U.S. Basel III
Capital Rules do not require the phase-out of trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital of bank holding companies of the Company’s size.
whose asset size is under $15 billion.
Further, the
U.S. Basel III
Capital Rules changed the agencies’ general risk-based capital requirements for determining risk-weighted assets, which
will affect the calculation of the denominator of a banking organization’s risk-based capital ratios. The
U.S. Basel III
Capital Rules have revised the agencies’ rules for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity and incorporate certain international capital standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision set forth in the standardized approach of the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework”.
The calculation of risk-weighted assets in the denominator of the U.S. Basel III capital ratios areis adjusted to reflect the higher risk nature of certain types of loans.
Specifically, as applicable to the Company and the Bank:
Commercial mortgages: Replaces the current 100% risk weight with a 150% risk weight for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans.
Nonperforming loans: Replaces the current 100% risk weight with a 150% risk weight for loans, other than residential mortgages, that are 90 days past due or on nonaccrual status.
Securities pledged to overnight repurchase agreements.
Unfunded lines of credit: 20% or higher based on risk category of collateral or guarantee for unfunded lines of credit maturing in one year or less.
Generally,
Calculations under the new rules related to deductions from capital have been fully phased-in. Under the prior rules, the Bank deducted 10% of the value of MSRs (net of deferred tax) from Tier 1 capital ratios. However, under the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules, became effective on January 1, 2015, although partsthe Bank and the Company deduct a much larger portion of the Basel III Rules willvalue of MSRs from Tier 1 capital.
MSRs net of deferred tax in excess of 10% of Tier 1 capital before threshold based deductions must be phased in through 2019. deducted from common equity at 80%.
In addition, the combined balance of MSRs and deferred tax assets is limited to approximately 15% of the Bank's and the Company's common equity Tier 1 capital. These combined assets must be deducted from common equity to the extent that they exceed the 15% threshold.
Any portion of the Bank's and the Company's MSRs that are not deducted from the calculation of common equity Tier 1 is subject to a 100% risk weight.
As of December 31, 20172019 and 2016,2018, the Bank and Company met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. Also, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016,September 30, 2018,the date of the most recent notification from the FDIC examination, the Bank was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.
Capital Expenditures
As part of our ongoing balance sheet and capital management during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company sold $29.2 million of mortgage servicing rights on $2.03 billion of serviced mortgages. There was not a material gain or loss recognized in this transaction; however, the sale provided approximately $9.2 million in regulatory capital relief to support continued growth in the Banking segment of our business.
On December 21, 2018, federal banking agencies issued a joint final rule to revise their regulatory capital rules to (i) address the upcoming implementation of the CECL accounting standard under GAAP; (ii) provide an optional three-year phase-in period for the day-one adverse regulatory capital effects that banking organizations are expected to experience upon adopting CECL; and (iii) require the use of CECL in stress tests beginning with the 2020 capital planning and stress testing cycle for certain banking organizations. See "Part II - Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional discussion.
In September 2019, the federal banking agencies adopted a final rule to simplify the regulatory capital requirements for eligible banks and holding companies with less than $10 billion in consolidated assets that opt into the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (“CBLR”) framework, as required by the Regulatory Relief Act. A qualifying community banking organization that elects the CBLR framework and maintains a leverage ratio of greater than 9% will be considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk-based and leverage capital requirements and will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements. Currently, we do not plan to opt into the CBLR framework.
On July 9, 2019, the federal banking agencies issued a final rule to simplify certain aspects of the Regulatory Capital Rules for standardized approach banking organizations. The final rule simplifies, for these banking organizations, the regulatory capital requirements for mortgage servicing assets, certain deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences, and investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions. The final rule replaces multiple deduction thresholds with a single 25% deduction threshold for each of these categories and requires that a 250% risk weight be applied to mortgage servicing assets and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital. The final rule also simplifies the calculation of the amount of capital issued by a consolidated subsidiary of a banking organization and held by third parties that is permitted to be included in regulatory capital. In addition, the final rule makes certain technical amendments to the Regulatory Capital Rules that are applicable to standardized approach banking organizations as well as advanced approaches banking organizations. The technical amendments were effective on October 1, 2019, and the simplification changes are effective on April 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for non-advanced approaches institutions as of January 1, 2020. The Company does not expect the new guidance to have not entered into anya material impact on capital amounts or ratios.
Capital Expenditures
As of December 31, 2019, we had capital commitments
exceeding $1amounting to $1.8 million
to be paid over the next twelve months.
Additionally, we plan on investing an additional $1.5 million in branch improvements across our markets over the next twelve months.
Our total shareholders’ equity was
$596.7$762.3 million at December 31,
20172019 and
$330.5$671.9 million, at December 31,
2016.2018. Book value per share was
$19.54$24.56 at December 31,
20172019 and
$13.71$21.87 at December 31,
2016.2018. The growth in shareholders’ equity was attributable
to additional capital of $152.7 million raised in private placement of 4,806,710 shares of common stock in addition to shares issued in conjunction with the merger of the Clayton Banks, which contributed an additional $52.3 million. Shareholders’ equity also increased due to earnings retention and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income
offset by declared dividends and activity related to equity-based compensation.
Off-balance sheet
transactionsarrangements
We enter into loan commitments and standby letters of credit in the normal course of our business. Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of our clients. Standby letters of credit commit us to make payments on behalf of clients when certain specified future events occur. Both arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients and are subject to our normal credit policies. Collateral (e.g., securities, receivables, inventory, equipment, etc.) is obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the client.
Loan commitments and standby letters of credit do not necessarily represent our future cash requirements because while the borrower has the ability to draw upon these commitments at anytime,any time, these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

ITEM 7A — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate sensitivity
Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in the normal course of lending and deposit-taking activities. Management believes that our ability to successfully respond to changes in interest rates will have a significant impact on our financial results. To that end, management actively monitors and manages our interest rate risk exposure.
The Asset Liability
Management Committee (“ALCO”), which is authorized by
the Bank’sour board of directors, monitors our interest rate sensitivity and makes decisions relating to that process. The ALCO’s goal is to structure our asset/liability composition to maximize net interest income while managing interest rate risk so as to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital in either a rising or declining interest rate environment. Profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact our earnings because the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis.
We monitor the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and economic value of equity (“EVE”) using rate shock analysis. Net interest income simulations measure the short-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest in a rigorous and explicit fashion. Our current financial position is combined with assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest income under varying hypothetical rate scenarios. EVE measures our long-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest. EVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities at a point in time. A decrease in EVE due to a specified rate change indicates a decline in the long-term earnings capacity of the balance sheet assuming that the rate change remains in affect over the life of the current balance sheet.
The following analysis depicts the estimated impact on net interest income and EVE of immediate changes in interest rates at the specified levels for the periods presented:

sensitive, which has been our current trend. However, as mortgage rates rise, we expect our mortgage originations and mortgage loans held for sale to decline, which will make us less asset sensitive.sensitivity. Beta assumptions on loans and deposits were consistent for both time periods.
The ALCO also reviewed beta assumptions for time deposits and loans with industry standards and revised them accordingly. For December 31, 2017 and 2016 simulations the loan and time deposit betas were 100% for all rate scenarios as is industry standard.
The preceding measures assume no change in the size or asset/liability compositions of the balance sheet. Thus, the measures do not reflect the actions the ALCO may undertake in response to such changes in interest rates. The
above results of the interest rate shock analysis are within the parameters set by the Bank’s board of directors. The scenarios assume instantaneous movements in interest rates in increments of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points.
With the present position of the target federal funds rate, the declining rate scenarios seem improbable. Furthermore, it has been the Federal Reserve’s policy to adjust the target federal funds rate incrementally over time. As interest rates are adjusted over a period of time, it is our strategy to proactively change the volume and mix of our balance sheet in order to mitigate our interest rate risk. The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes requires numerous assumptions regarding characteristics of new business and the behavior of existing positions. These business assumptions are based upon our experience, business plans and published industry experience. Key assumptions employed in the model include asset prepayment speeds, competitive factors, the relative price sensitivity of certain assets and liabilities and the expected life of non-maturity deposits. Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, actual results may differ from simulated results.
We utilize derivative financial instruments includingas part of an ongoing effort to mitigate interest rate risk exposure to interest rate fluctuations and facilitate the needs of our customers.
The Company enters into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments to help its commercial customers manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with customer contracts, the Company enters into an offsetting derivative contract. The Company manages its credit risk, or potential risk of default by its commercial customers through credit limit approval and monitoring procedures.
The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge interest rate exposure on short term liabilities, as well as interest rate swap contracts to hedge interest rate exposure on subordinated debentures. These interest rate swaps are all accounted for as cash flow hedges, with the Company receiving a variable rate of interest and paying a fixed rate of interest.
The Company enters into rate lock commitments and forward loan sales contracts as part of our ongoing efforts to mitigate our interest rate risk exposure inherent in our mortgage pipeline and held for sale portfolio. Under the interest rate lock commitments, interest rates for a mortgage loan are locked in with the client for a period of time, typically
thirty30 days. Once an interest rate lock commitment is entered into with a client, we also enter into a forward commitment to sell the residential mortgage loan to secondary market investors.
Accordingly, we do not incur risk if the interest rate lock commitment in the pipeline fails to close. Forward loan sale contracts are contracts for delayed
sale and delivery of mortgage
loans.loans to a counter party. We agree to deliver on a specified future date, a specified instrument, at a specified price or yield. The credit risk inherent to us arises from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. In the event of non-acceptance by the counterparty, we would be subject to the credit and inherent (or market) risk of the loans retained.
Additionally, the Company enters into forward commitments, options and futures contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments, which serve as economic hedges of the change in fair value of its MSRs.

Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of FB Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements. No matter how well designed, internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). As permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission guidance, management excluded from its assessment the operations of American City Bank and Clayton Bank and Trust, acquisitions made during 2017, which are described in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The total assets of the entities acquired in the American City Bank and Clayton Bank and Trust acquisitions represented approximately 6% and 18%, respectively, of the Company’s total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2017.
Based on this assessment management has determined that, as of December 31, 2017, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on the specified criteria.

(B) Basis of presentation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported results of operations for the year then ended.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, investment securities determination of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”), the determination of fair value in business combinations, the valuation of other real estate owned, and the determination of the fair value of financial instruments, loans held for sale and mortgage servicing rights. In connection with the determination of the estimated fair value of other real estate owned and impaired loans, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, and its’ wholly-owned subsidiaries, FirstBank Insurance, Inc.
, First Holdings, Inc., RE Holdings, Inc., and Investors Title Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation without any impact on the reported amounts of net income or shareholders’ equity.
For purposes of reporting consolidated cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and interest earning deposits in other financial institutions with maturities of less than 90 days at the date of purchase. These amounts are reported in the consolidated balance sheets caption “Cash and cash equivalents.” Net cash flows are reported for loans held for investment, deposits
repurchase agreements, federal funds sold, and
short-term borrowings.
(D) Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid
unrestricted investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
and cash equivalents.
(E) Investment securities:
Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity.
EquityAvailable-for-sale debt securities
with readily determinable fair values are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.
FB Financial Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements
(Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Equity securities with readily determinable market values are carried at fair value on the balance sheet with any periodic changes in value made through adjustments to the statement of income. Equity securities without readily determinable market values are carried at cost less impairment and included in other assets on the balance sheet.
Interest income includes the amortization and accretion of purchase premium and discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method anticipating prepayments based upon the prior three month average monthly prepayments when available. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.
The Company evaluates
available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.
When OTTI is determined to have occurred, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on
whether we intendthe Company's intention to sell the security or
if it is more likely than not that
wethe Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If
we intendthe Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that
wethe Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI recognized in earnings is equal to the entire difference between its amortized cost basis and its fair value at the date it was determined to be OTTI. If
we dothe Company does not intend to sell the security and
105

Notes to consolidated financial statements
(Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
it is not more likely than not that we willto be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI is separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized as a charge to earnings. The amount of the OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not record any OTTI on the available-for-sale portfolio; however, during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded OTTI amounting torecognized impairment of $945 on one of its equity securities without a readily determinable market value as discussed in Note 4.
There were no such impairment charges taken during the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018.
(F) Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock:
The Bank accounts for its investments in FHLB stock in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 942-325 "Financial Services-Depository and Lending-Investments-Other." FHLB stock are equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value because its ownership is restricted and lacks a market. FHLB stock is carried at cost and evaluated for impairment.
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market, primarily mortgage loans, are carried at fair value as permitted under the guidance in ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”). Net (losses) gains of
$9,111, $(2,289)$(2,861), $(4,539), and
$2,257$9,111 resulting from fair value changes of these mortgage loans were recorded in income during
2017, 2016,the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and
2015,2017, respectively. The amount does not reflect changes in fair values of related derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to market-related risks associated with these mortgage loans. The change in fair value of both mortgage loans held for sale and the related derivative instruments are recorded in “Mortgage banking income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Gains and losses are recognized in Mortgage banking income on the consolidated statements of income at the time the loan is closed. Pass through origination costs and related loan fees are also included in “Mortgage banking income”.
Effective December 31, 2017, the Company adopted a change in accounting policy to recognize revenue on Best Efforts deliveries and accrue commissions at the time of the interest rate lock commitment. Management believes this treatment better correlates and streamlines the revenue and expenses of mortgage sale delivery methods.Periodically, the Bank will transfer mortgage loans originated for sale in the secondary markets into the loan portfolio based on current market conditions, the overall secondary marketability of the loan and the status of the loan. During
2017, 20162019, 2018, and
2015,2017, the Bank transferred
approximately$12,259, $14,732, and $11,706,
$18,000, and $5,000, respectively, of residential mortgage loans into its portfolio. The loans are transferred into the portfolio at fair value at the date of transfer.
On occasion, the Bank is able to restructure and sell certain of these mortgage loans previously originated to sell in the secondary market that were included in the Bank's loans held for investment portfolio. At the time of transfer, loans are marked to fair value through adjustment to the allowance for loan losses and reclassified to loans held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company transferred

Notes to consolidated financial statements
(Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
$11,888 of loans held for investment to loans held for sale, resulting in an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses of $349. There were no such transfers during the years ended December 31, 3019 or 2017.
Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) optional repurchase programs allow financial institutions to buy back individual delinquent mortgage loans that meet certain criteria from the securitized loan pool for which the institution provides servicing and was the original transferor. At the servicer’s option and without GNMA’s prior authorization, the servicer may repurchase such a delinquent loan for an amount equal to 100 percent of the remaining principal balance of the loan. Under FASB ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” this buy-back option is considered a conditional option until the delinquency criteria are met, at which time the option becomes unconditional. When the Company is deemed to have regained effective control over these loans under the unconditional buy-back option,
and the expected benefit of the potential buy-back is more than trivial, the loans can no longer be reported as sold and must be brought back onto the balance sheet as loans held for sale, regardless of whether the Company intends to exercise the buy-back
option. These loans are reported as loans held for sale withoption if the
offsetting liability being reported in other liabilities. Atbuyback option provides the transferor a more-than-trivial benefit. As of December 31,
2017, rebooked2019 and 2018, there were $51,705 and $67,362, respectively, of delinquent GNMA loans
held for sale amounted to $43,035. Amounts related to prior periods werethat had previously been sold; however, the Company determined there not
significant. The fair value option election does not apply to the GNMA optional repurchase loans which do not meet the requirements under FASB ASC Topic 825 to be
accounted for undera "more-than-trivial benefit" based on an analysis of interest rates and assessment of potential reputational risk associated with these loans. As such, the
fair value option.(G)Company did not rebook any GNMA loans as of December 31, 2019 or 2018.
(H) Loans (excluding purchased credit impaired loans):
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are stated at the principal amount
outstanding.outstanding less any purchase accounting discount net of any accretion recognized to date. Interest on loans is recognized as income by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount
outstanding.outstanding plus any accretion of purchase accounting discounts.
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest is discontinued on loans past due 90 days or more unless the credit is well secured and in the process of collection. Also, a loan may be placed on nonaccrual status prior to becoming past due 90 days if management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of principal or interest is doubtful. The decision to place a loan on nonaccrual status prior to becoming past due 90 days is based on an evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, collateral liquidation value, economic and business conditions and other factors that affect the borrower’s ability to pay. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued but unpaid interest is charged against current period operations. Thereafter, interest on nonaccrual loans is

recognized only as received if future collection of principal is probable. If the collectability of outstanding principal is doubtful, interest received is applied as a reduction of principal. A loan may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest are no longer past due or it otherwise becomes both well secured and collectability is reasonably assured.
(H)
(I) Allowance for loan losses:
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.
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 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.
Commercial and commercial real estate loans over $250 are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer, residential real estate loans, commercial and commercial real estate loans less than $250 are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.

Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and classified as impaired. TDRs are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a TDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral.
The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the most recent 5 years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.
The following portfolio segments have been identified:
Commercial and industrial loans. The Company provides a mix of variable and fixed rate commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial loans are typically made to small- and medium-sized manufacturing, wholesale, retail and service businesses for working capital and operating needs and business expansions, including the purchase of capital equipment and loans made to farmers relating to their operations. This category also includes loans secured by manufactured housing receivables. Commercial and industrial loans generally include lines of credit and loans with maturities of five years or less. The loans are generally made with operating cash flows as the primary source of repayment, but may also include collateralization by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and/or personal guarantees. The ability of the borrower to collect accounts receivable, and to turn inventory into sales are risk factors in the repayment of the loan.
Construction loans. Construction loans include commercial construction, land acquisition and land development loans and single-family interim construction loans to small- and medium-sized businesses and individuals. These loans are generally secured by the land or the real property being built and are made based on our assessment of the value of the property on an as-completed basis. We expect to continue to make construction loans at a similar pace so long as demand continues and the market for and values of such properties remain stable or continue to improve in our markets. These107

loans can carry risk of repayment when projects incur cost overruns, have an increase in the price of building materials, encounter zoning and environmental issues, or encounter other factors that may affect the completion of a project on time and on budget. Additionally, repayment risk may be negatively impacted when the market experiences a deterioration in the value of real estate.
Residential real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans. The Company’s residential real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans are primarily made with respect to and secured by single family homes, which are both owner-occupied and investor owned and include manufactured homes with real estate. The Company intends to continue to make residential 1-4 family housing loans at a similar pace, so long as housing values in our markets do not deteriorate from current prevailing levels and we are able to make such loans consistent with our current credit and underwriting standards. First lien residential 1-4 family mortgages may be affected by unemployment or underemployment and deteriorating market values of real estate. Residential line of credit loans. The Company’s residential line of credit loans are primarily revolving, open-end lines of credit secured by 1-4 residential properties. The Company intends to continue to make home equity loans if housing values in our markets do not deteriorate from current prevailing levels and we are able to make such loans consistent with our current credit and underwriting standards. Second lien residential 1-4 family mortgages may be affected by unemployment or underemployment and deteriorating market values of real estate. Multi-family residential loans. The Company’s multi-family residential loans are primarily secured by multi-family properties, such as apartments and condominium buildings. These loans also may be affected by unemployment or underemployment and deteriorating market values of real estate. Commercial real estate loans. The Company’s commercial real estate owner-occupied loans include loans to finance commercial real estate owner occupied properties for various purposes including use as offices, warehouses, production facilities, health care facilities, retail centers, restaurants, churches and agricultural based facilities. Commercial real estate owner-occupied loans are typically repaid through the ongoing business operations of the borrower, and hence are dependent on the success of the underlying business for repayment and are more exposed to general economic conditions.
FB Financial Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements
(Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans. The Company’s commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans include loans to finance commercial real estate non-owner occupied investment properties for various purposes including use as offices, warehouses, health care facilities, hotels, mixed-use residential/commercial, manufactured housing communities, retail centers, assisted living facilities and agricultural based facilities. Commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans are typically repaid with the funds received from the sale of the completed property or rental proceeds from such property, and are therefore more sensitive to adverse conditions in the real estate market, which can also affected by general economic conditions. Consumer and other loans. The Company’s consumer and other loans include loans to individuals for personal, family and household purposes, including car, boat and other recreational vehicle loans, manufactured homes without real estate, and personal lines of credit. Consumer loans are generally secured by vehicles and other household goods. The collateral securing consumer loans may depreciate over time. The company seeks to minimize these risks through its underwriting standards. Other loans also include loans to states and political subdivisions in the U.S. These loans are generally subject to the risk that the borrowing municipality or political subdivision may lose a significant portion of its tax base or that the project for which the loan was made may produce inadequate revenue.(I)
As discussed more fully under the subheading "Newly issued not yet effective accounting standards, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, "Financial Instruments- Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" effective January 1, 2020, which replaces the incurred loss model described above with a model that estimates current expected losses of the loan portfolio over its lifetime.
(J) Business combinations
and accounting for acquired loans
and related assets:with credit deterioration:
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). Under the acquisition method, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date are measured at their fair values as of that date. Any excess of the purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. To the extent the fair value of net assets acquired, including any other identifiable intangible assets, exceed the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Results of operations of
the acquired entities are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the date of acquisition.
Loans acquired in business combinations with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit-impaired. Purchased credit-impaired loans (“PCI” loans) are accounted for under the accounting guidance for loans and debt securities acquired with

deteriorated credit quality, in accordance with ASC 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” (“ASC 310-30”), and initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loans. Increases in expected cash flows to be collected on these loans are recognized as an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as an impairment. As a result, related discounts are recognized subsequently through accretion based on the expected cash flow of the acquired loans.
(J)loans or through adjustment to the allowance for loan loss for any impairment identified subsequent to acquisitions.
(K) Premises and equipment:
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Provisions for depreciation are computed principally on the straight-line method and are charged to occupancy expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance agreements are amortized to expense over the period of time covered by the agreement. Costs of major additions, replacements or improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
For financial statement purposes, the estimated useful life for premises is forty years, for furniture and fixtures the estimated useful life is seven to ten years, for leasehold improvements the estimated useful life is the lesser of twenty years or the term of the lease and for equipment the estimated useful life is three to seven years.
(K)
(L) Other real estate owned:
Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less the estimated cost to sell at the date of foreclosure which may establish a new cost basis. Other real estate owned may also include excess facilities and properties held for sale as described in Note 7. Physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan occurs when legal title is obtained upon completion of foreclosure or when the borrower conveys all interest in the property to satisfy the loan. After foreclosure,initial measurement, valuations are periodically performed by management

and the asset is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations are included in other noninterest income and noninterest expenses. Losses due to the valuation of the property are included in
(gain) lossgain (loss) on sales or write-downs of
foreclosed assets.(L)other real estate owned.
(M) Leases:
The Company leases certain banking, mortgage and operations locations. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company records leases on the balance sheet in the form of a lease liability for the present value of future minimum payments under the lease terms and a right-of-use asset equal to the lease liability adjusted for items such as deferred or prepaid rent, incentive liabilities, leasehold intangibles and any impairment of the right-of-use asset. In determining whether a contract contains a lease, management conducts an analysis at lease inception to ensure an asset was specifically identified and the Company has control of use of the asset. For contracts determined to be leases entered into after January 1, 2019, the Company performs additional analysis to determine whether the lease should be classified as a finance or operating lease. The Company considers a lease to be a finance lease if future minimum lease payments amount to greater than 90% of the asset's fair value or if the lease term is equal to or greater than 75% of the asset's estimated economic useful life. As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any leases that were determined to be finance leases. The Company does not record leases on the consolidated balance sheets that are classified as short term (less than one year). Additionally, the Company has not recorded equipment leases or leases in which the Company is the lessor on the consolidated balance sheets as these are not material to the Company.
At lease inception, the Company determines the lease term by adding together the minimum lease term and all optional renewal periods that it is reasonably certain to renew. This determination is at management's full discretion and is made through consideration of the asset, market conditions, competition and entity based economic conditions, among other factors. The lease term is used in the economic life test and also to calculate straight-line rent expense. The depreciable life of leasehold improvements is limited by the estimated lease term, including renewals.
Operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease beginning when the lease commences. Rent expense and variable lease expense are included in occupancy and equipment expense on the Company's Consolidated statements of income. The Company's variable lease expense include rent escalators that are based on the Consumer Price Index or market conditions and include items such as common area maintenance, utilities, parking, property taxes, insurance and other costs associated with the lease.
There are no residual value guarantees or restrictions or covenants imposed by leases that will impact the Company's ability to pay dividends or cause the Company to incur additional expenses. The discount rate used in determining the lease liability is based upon incremental borrowing rates the Company could obtain for similar loans as of the date of commencement or renewal.
(N) Mortgage servicing rights:
The Company retains the right to service certain mortgage loans that it sells to secondary market investors. The retained mortgage servicing right is initially recorded at the fair value of future net cash flows expected to be realized for performing servicing activities.
These mortgage servicing rights are recognized as a separate asset on the date the corresponding mortgage loan is sold.In periods prior to 2017, mortgage servicing rights were amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. These servicing rights were carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach with various assumptions including expected cash flows, prepayment speeds, market discount rates, servicing costs, and other factors. Mortgage servicing rights were carried at amortized cost less the reserve for impairment at December 31, 2016. Impairment losses onThese mortgage servicing rights wereare recognized toas a separate asset on the extent by whichdate the unamortized cost exceeded fair value. Impairment losses oncorresponding mortgage servicing rights of $4,678 and $194 were recognized in earnings during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of January 1, 2017, the Company elected to account for its mortgage servicing rights under the fair value option as permitted under ASC 860-50-35,

including the write downs due to pay offs and paydowns, are recorded in earnings in Mortgage banking income.
(M)
(O) Transfers of financial assets:
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

(N)
(P) Goodwill and other intangibles:
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill impairment testing is performed annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment. Goodwill is assigned to the Company’s reporting units, Banking or Mortgage as applicable.
See Note 2, “Mergers and acquisitions” for information related to the goodwill recorded in the Bank’s acquisitions of Clayton Bank and Trust and American City Bank. As discussed in Note 21, the Company realigned its segment reporting structure during the year ended December 31, 2016. As a result, our reporting units have been adjusted to reflect this change from geographic-based reporting units to business segment reporting units. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a two-step quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If an entity does a qualitative assessment and determines that it is not more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired, and it is not necessary to continue to the two-step goodwill impairment test. If the estimated implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized
asin noninterest expense to reduce the carrying amount to the estimated implied fair value which could be material to our operating results for any particular reporting period. No impairment was identified through the

(O) See Note 8 for additional information on other intangibles.
(Q) Income taxes:
Prior to September 16, 2016, the Company was taxed under the provisions of subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under these provisions, the Company did not pay corporate federal income taxes on its taxable income but was liable for Tennessee corporate income taxes. Instead, the shareholder was liable for individual income taxes on the Company’s taxable income. The Company and the Bank file consolidated federal and state income tax returns.
Unaudited pro forma amounts for income tax expense and basic and diluted earnings per share have been presented assuming the Company’s pro forma effective tax rate of 36.75% for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 35.08% for the year ended December 31, 2015, as if it had been a C corporation during those periods. In addition, the unaudited pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2016 excludes the effect of recognition of the deferred tax liability attributable to conversion of $13,181 as discussed in Note 15.
Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
See Note 15, “Income taxes” for information related to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law on December 22, 2017.A tax position is recognized 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 on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions in “Income tax expense” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no amounts related to interest and penalties recognized for the years ended December 31,
2017, 20162019, 2018 or

Premises and equipment, core deposit intangible assets, and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value. No long-lived assets were deemed to be impaired at December 31,
20172019 and
2016.(Q)2018.
(S) Off-balance sheet financial instruments:
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded, unless considered derivatives.
(R)
(T) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities:
All derivative financial instruments are recorded at their fair values in other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” If derivative financial instruments are designated as hedges of fair values, both the change in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are included in current earnings. If derivative financial instruments are not designated as hedges, only the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is included in current earnings. Cash flow hedges are utilized to mitigate the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows or other types of forecasted transactions. For the Company’s derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges
FB Financial Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements
(Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
are, to the extent that the hedging relationship is effective, recorded as other comprehensive income and are subsequently recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portions of the changes in fair value of the hedging instruments are immediately recognized in earnings. The assessment of the effectiveness of the hedging relationship is evaluated under the hypothetical derivative method.
The Company also utilizes derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments. The Company enters into interest rate cap and/or floor agreements with its customers and then enters into an offsetting derivative contract position with other financial institutions to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with these customer contracts. Because these derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized currently in earnings.
The Company
also enters into commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate-lock commitments). Rate-lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. Accordingly, such commitments, along with any related fees received from potential borrowers, are recorded at fair value in other assets or liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in the line item “Mortgage banking income” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Fair value is based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, and for fixed-rate commitments, the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates is also considered.
The Company utilizes forward loan sale contracts and forward sales of residential mortgage-backed securities to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in the Company’s mortgage loan pipeline and held-for-sale portfolio. Forward sale contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of mortgage loans or a group of loans pooled as mortgage-backed securities. The Company agrees to deliver on a specified future date, a specified instrument, at a specified price or yield. However, the contract may allow for cash settlement. The credit risk inherent to the Company arises from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. In the event of non-acceptance by the counterparty, the Company would be subject to the credit and inherent (or market) risk of the loans retained. Such contracts are accounted for as derivatives and, along with related fees paid to investor are recorded at fair value in derivative assets or liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in the line item “Mortgage banking income” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Fair value is based on the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the commitment at the reporting date.
The Company utilizes two methods to deliver mortgage loans sold to an investor. Under a “best efforts” sales agreement, the Company enters into a sales agreement with an investor in the secondary market to sell the loan when an interest rate-lock commitment is entered into with a customer, as described above. Under a “best efforts” sales agreement, the
111
FB Financial Corporation and subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements
(Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Company is obligated to sell the mortgage loan to the investor only if the loan is closed and funded. Thus, the Company will not incur any liability to an investor if the mortgage loan commitment in the pipeline fails to close. The Company also utilizes “mandatory delivery” sales agreements. Under a mandatory delivery sales agreement, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price and delivery date. Penalties are paid to the investor should the Company fail to satisfy the contract. Mandatory commitments are recorded at fair value in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses arising from changes in the valuation of these commitments are recognized currently in earnings and are reflected under the line item “Other noninterest“Mortgage banking income” on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
(S)
(U) Lender risk account:
During 2018, the Company began selling qualified mortgage loans to FHLB-Cincinnati via the Mortgage Purchase Program (“MPP”). All mortgage loans purchased from members through the MPP are held on the FHLB’s balance sheet. FHLB does not securitize MPP loans for sale to other investors. They mitigate their credit risk exposure through their underwriting and pool composition requirements and through the establishment of the Lender Risk Account (“LRA”) credit enhancement. The LRA protects the FHLB against possible credit losses by setting aside a portion of the initial purchase price into a performance based escrow account that can be used to offset possible loan losses. The LRA amount is established as a percentage applied to the sum of the initial unpaid principal balance of each mortgage in the aggregated pool at the time of the purchase of the mortgage as determined by the FHLB-Cincinnati and is funded by the deduction from the proceeds of sale of each mortgage in the aggregated pool to the FHLB-Cincinnati. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had on deposit with the FHLB-Cincinnati $11,225 and $5,225, respectively, in these LRA’s. Additionally, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company estimated the guaranty account to be $5,546 and $2,646, respectively. The Company bears the risk of receiving less than 100% of its LRA contribution in the event of losses, either by the Company or other members selling mortgages in the aggregated pool. Any losses will be deducted first from the individual LRA contribution of the institution that sold the mortgage of which the loss was incurred. If losses incurred in the aggregated pool are greater than the member’s LRA contribution, such losses will be deducted from the LRA contribution of other members selling mortgages in that aggregated

(Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
pool. Any portion of the LRA not used to pay losses will be released over a thirty year period and will not start until the end of five years after the initial fill-up period.
(V) Comprehensive income:
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, net of taxes.
(T)
Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
(U)
(X) Securities sold under agreements to repurchase:
The Company routinely sells securities to certain customers and then repurchases the securities the next business day. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are
reflected inrecorded on the consolidated balance sheets at the amount of cash received in connection with each
transaction.transaction in the line item "Borrowings". These are secured liabilities and are not covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance

(Z) Earnings per common share:
Basic earnings per common share are net income divided("EPS") excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includeEPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under the restricted stock units granted but not yet vested and distributable. Unearned compensationDiluted EPS is computed by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year, plus assumed proceedsan incremental number of common-equivalent shares computed using the treasury stock method.
Unvested share-based payment awards, which include the right to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents, are considered to participate with common shareholders in undistributed earnings for purposes of computing EPS. Companies that have such participating securities, including the Company, are required to calculate basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. Certain restricted stock awards granted by the Company include non-forfeitable dividend equivalents and are considered participating securities. Calculations of EPS under the two-class method (i) exclude from the

(BB) Stock-based
compensationcompensation:
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in accordance with ASC 718-20, “Compensation – Stock Compensation Awards Classified as Equity”. Expense is recognized based on the fair value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest, reduced for estimated forfeitures based on grant-date fair value. The restricted stock unit awards and related expense are amortized over the required service period, if any. (Z) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (FASB 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. The guidance provides steps to follow to achieve the core principle. An entity should disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company's revenue is comprised of interest income on financial assets, which is excluded from the scope of this new guidance, and non-interest income. The Company

period in which the adjustments are determined, rather than retrospectively adjusting previously reported information. Additional disclosure of the impact of measurement period adjustments on current year earnings will also be required. For public business entities, the amendments of this update were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company elected to early adopt this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2015. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation, or earnings per share (“EPS”).
In January 2016, the FASB released ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.” The main provisions of the update are to eliminate the available for sale classification of accounting for equity securities and adjust the fair value disclosures for financial instruments carried at amortized cost such that the disclosed fair values represent an exit price as opposed to an entry price. The provisions of this update will require that equity securities be carried at fair market value on the balance sheet and any periodic changes in value will be adjustments to the income statement. A practical expedient is provided for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value such that these securities can be carried at cost less any impairment. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2018, and it will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation, or EPS.
standards:
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The update will requirerequires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases not considered short term leases. The provisions of the update also include (a) defining direct costs to only include those incremental costs that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been entered into, (b) circumstances under which the transfer contract in a sale-leaseback transaction should be accounted for as the sale of an asset by the seller-lessee and the purchase of an asset by the buyer-lessor, and (c) additional disclosure requirements. The provisions of this update becomebecame effective for interimthe Company on January 1, 2019.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” and 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”. ASU No. 2018-10 provides improvements related to ASU No. 2016-02 to provide corrections or improvements to a number of areas within FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842 and provides additional and optional transition method to adopt the new lease standard. ASU No. 2018-11 allows entities to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. ASU 2018-11 also allows lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. The amendments in these updates became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019.
The Company elected the optional transition method permitted by ASU 2018-11. Under this method, an entity shall recognize and measure leases that exist at the application date and prior comparative periods are not adjusted. Additionally, the Company elected to adopt the practical expedients allowed under the updates and therefore did not reassess 1) whether any expired or existing contract contain leases, 2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, or 3) initial direct costs for any existing leases.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted these updates and recognized a right of use asset ("ROU") and lease liability of $32,545 and $34,876, respectively, and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $1,309, net of deferred taxes of $461, in addition to adjustments to leasehold improvements of $1,022 and a reclassification from a previously-recognized lease intangible asset for $460. The difference between the asset and liability amounts represents lease incentive liabilities, deferred rent and a lease intangible asset that was reclassified to the ROU asset upon adoption. This adoption

did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated statements of income and did not have an impact on the Company's cash flows. Disclosures required by the update are presented in Note 7, "Leases" in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities." The amendments in this ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continue to be amortized to maturity. Public business entities were required to prospectively apply the amendments in this ASU to annual periods beginning after December 15,

Newly issued not yet effective accounting standards:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requiresand its subsequent amendments require the measurement of all current expected credit losses ("CECL") for financial assets (including off-balance sheet credit exposures) held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts andforecasts. The update requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amendsAdditionally, disclosure of credit quality indicators related to the accountingamortized cost of financing receivables will be further disaggregated by year of origination (or vintage).
The new model requires institutions to calculate all probable and estimable losses that are expected to be incurred through the financial asset's entire life through a provision for credit losses, on available-for-sale debt securities andincluding certain loans obtained as a result of any acquisition. The Update eliminates the existing guidance for PCI loans, but requires an allowance for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. more than insignificant deterioration since origination to be determined in a manner similar to that of other financial assets measured at amortized cost; however, the initial allowance will be added to the purchase price rather than recorded as provision expense.

Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of this update.In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230).” ASU 2016-15 provides guidance related to certain cash flow issues in order to reduce the current and potential future diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and management is in the process of finalizing qualitative factors and conducting a thorough review of the calculation and documentation supporting the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") and updating its policy documents and internal controls accordingly. The Company will continue to analyze and modify the calculation throughout the first quarter of 2020, however the Company is currently expecting the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-13 to result in an increase in reserve from the allowance for loan losses reported at December 31, 2019. The Company will record a cumulative effect adjustment for the increase, net of taxes, to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 and it2020, which will not have a significant impactbe included in the Company's quarterly report on our financial statements.

Instead, an entity will perform only step one of its quantitative goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and then recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

Note (2)—Mergers and acquisitions:
Franklin Financial Network, Inc.
On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Franklin Financial Network, Inc ("Franklin"). pursuant to which Franklin will be merged with and and into the Company. Franklin has 15 branches and approximately $3.90 billion in total assets, $2.80 billion in loans, and $3.20 billion in deposits as of December 31, 2019. According to the terms of the merger agreement, Franklin shareholders will receive 0.9650 shares of FB Financial Corporation's common stock and $2.00 in cash for each share of Franklin stock. Based on the Company's closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of $38.23 per share as of January 21, 2020, the implied transaction value is approximately $602,000. The merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020 and is subject to regulatory approvals, approval by the Company's and Franklin's shareholders and other customary closing conditions.
FNB Financial Corp. merger
On February 14, 2020, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of FNB Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Farmers National Bank of Scottsville (collectively, "Farmers National"). Following the acquisition, Farmers National was merged into the Company with FB Financial Corporation continuing as the surviving entity. Prior to closing, Farmers National operated five branches and reported total assets of $255,172, loans of $178,603 and deposits of $205,957 as of December 31, 2019. FNB Financial Corp. shareholders received 954,797 shares of FBK common stock as consideration in connection with the merger, in addition to approximately $15,000 in cash consideration. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange of $36.70 on February 14, 2020, the merger consideration represented approximately $50,042 in aggregate consideration. The Company is currently in the process of determining the approximate fair value of the net assets acquired and will include preliminary purchase accounting estimates in Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.
Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A. branch acquisition
On April 5, 2019, the Bank completed its previously-announced branch acquisition to purchase 11 Tennessee and three Georgia branch locations (the "Branches") from Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A., a national banking association and a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic Capital Bancshares, Inc. (collectively, “Atlantic Capital”) in a transaction valued at $36,790, further increasing market share in existing markets and expanding the Company's footprint into new locations. Upon consummation, the Branches were merged with and into FirstBank, consolidating three of the purchased branches across the existing bank footprint. Under the terms of the agreement, the Bank assumed $588,877 in deposits for a premium of 6.25% and acquired $374,399 in loans at 99.32% of principal outstanding.
The acquisition of the Branches was accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 "Business Combinations." Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. For income tax purposes, the transaction was treated as an asset purchase. As such, the values of assets and liabilities are the same for both financial reporting and income tax purposes; therefore, no deferred taxes were recorded at the date of acquisition. Additionally, this treatment allows for the deductibility of recorded intangibles for income tax purposes over 15 years. Goodwill of $31,961 recorded in connection with the transaction resulted from the ongoing business contribution of the Branches. Also, goodwill represents anticipated synergies arising from the combination of certain operational areas of the Branches and the Company. Goodwill is included in the Banking segment as all of the operations resulting from the Branches are in alignment with the Company's core banking business.
The Company incurred $4,778 in merger expenses during the year ended December 31, 2019 in connection with this transaction. These expenses are primarily comprised of professional services and employee-related costs in addition to branch closings and conversion and integration costs.

Clayton Bank and Trust and American City Bank
On July 31, 2017, the Bank completed its
previously-announced mergermergers with Clayton Bank and Trust
(“CBT”("CBT") and American City Bank
(“ACB”("ACB" and together with CBT, the
“Clayton Banks”"Clayton Banks"), pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement with Clayton HC,
Inc.,Inc, a Tennessee corporation
(“Seller”("Seller"), and James L. Clayton, the majority shareholder of Seller, dated February 8, 2017, as amended on May 26, 2017, with a purchase price of approximately $236,484. The Company issued 1,521,200 shares of common stock and paid cash of $184,200 to purchase all
of the outstanding shares of
the Clayton Banks. At closing, the Clayton Banks merged with and into FirstBank, with FirstBank continuing as the surviving banking entity.
Prior to the merger, the Clayton Banks operated 18 banking locations across Tennessee. The merger with the Clayton Banks has allowed the Company to further its strategic initiatives by expanding its geographic footprint in Knoxville and other Tennessee markets and accelerates the growth of the Company’s Banking segment.
Goodwill of $90,323 recorded in connection with the transaction resulted primarily from anticipated synergies arising from the combination of certain operational areas of the Clayton Banks and the Company as well as the purchase premium inherent to buying a complete and successful banking operation. Goodwill is included in the Banking segment as substantially all of the operations resulting from the Clayton Banks merger is included in the Banking segment.
In connection with the transaction, the Company incurred $19,034 in merger and conversion expenses during the year ended December 31, 2017. This amount includes $10,000 contributed to a charitable foundation established to invest in the communities across the markets of the Clayton Banks.
For income tax purposes, the merger with the Clayton Banks was treated as an asset purchase. As an asset purchase for income tax purposes, the value of assets and liabilities for the Clayton Banks are the same for both financial reporting and income tax purposes; therefore, no deferred taxes were recorded at the date of acquisition. Additionally, this treatment allows for the deductibility of the goodwill and core deposit intangible for income tax purposes over 15 years.
The Company accounted for the Clayton Banks transaction under the acquisition method under ASC Topic 805. Accordingly, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed along with the resulting goodwill was recorded as of the date of the merger. The Company’s operating results for 2017 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of the Clayton Banks subsequent to the acquisition date.

Northwest Georgia Bank
On September 18, 2015, the Bank completed its acquisition of Northwest Georgia Bank (“NWGB”), a bank headquartered in Ringgold, Georgia, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 27, 2015 by and between the Bank and NWGB. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, NWGB was merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving entity. Prior to the acquisition, NWGB operated six banking locations in Georgia and Tennessee. The acquisition of NWGB allowed the Company to further its strategic initiatives by expanding its geographic footprint into certain markets of Georgia and Tennessee. The Company acquired NWGB in a $1,500 cash purchase.
The Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of $2,794 and a core deposit intangible asset of $4,931. The fair value of the core deposit intangible is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life, of approximately 10 years at the time of acquisition.
For income tax purposes, the acquisition of NWGB was treated as an asset purchase. As an asset purchase for income tax purposes, the carrying value of assets and liabilities for NWGB are the same for both financial reporting and income tax purposes; therefore, no deferred taxes were recorded at the date of acquisition except for a $191 deferred tax liability recorded for the bargain purchase gain. Additionally, this treatment allows for the deductibility for income tax purposes of the core deposit intangible recorded for the NWGB merger over 15 years, net of the bargain purchase gain.
In connection with the transaction, the Company incurred $3,268 and $3,543 in merger and conversion expenses during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company categorizes 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, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Watch.Watch. Loans rated as watch includes loans in which management believes conditions have occurred, or may occur, which could result in the loan being downgraded to a worse rated category. Also included in watch are loans rated as special mention, which have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans rated as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, inif any. Loans so rated have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Also included in this category are loans considered doubtful, which have all the weaknesses previously described and management believes those weaknesses may make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans not meeting the criteria above are considered to be pass rated loans.

Nonperforming loans include loans that are no longer accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) and loans past due ninety or more days and still accruing interest. Nonperforming loans and impaired loans are defined differently. Some loans may be included in both categories, whereas other loans may only be included in one category.
PCI loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. However, these loans are considered to be performing, even though they may be contractually past due, as any non-payment of contractual principal or interest is considered in the periodic re-estimation of expected cash flows and is included in the resulting recognition of current period covered loan loss provision or future period yield adjustments.
As such, PCI loans are excluded from past due disclosures presented below. The accrual
and/or accretion of interest is discontinued on PCI loans if management can no longer reliably estimate future cash flows on the loan. No PCI loans were classified as nonaccrual at December 31,
20172019 or December 31,
20162018 as the
carryingpresent value of the respective loan or pool of loans cash flows were considered estimable and probable of collection. Therefore, interest
revenue,income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying value of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all PCI loans.
AccretionPCI loans contractually past due 30-89 days amounted to $2,951 and $3,605 as of
interest income amounting to $5,299, $2,631 and $454 was recognized on purchased credit impaired loans during the years ended December 31,
2017, 20162019 and
2015, respectively. This includes both the contractual interest income2018, respectively, and
the purchase accounting contribution through accretionan additional $751 and $4,076 were contractually past due 90 days or more as of
the liquidity discount and credit mark for changes in estimated cash flows. The total purchase accounting contribution through accretion excluding contractual interest collected for all purchased loans was $5,419, 3,538 and $493 for the years ended December 31,
2017, 20162019 and
2015,2018, respectively.

2019 and
2018, and 2017. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. The terms of certain other loans were modified during the years ended December 31,
2017, 20162019 and
20152018, and 2017 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties or a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant.
In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the company’s internal underwriting policy.

Note (9)—Leases:
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 "Leases" (Topic 842) and all subsequent updates that modified Topic 842. For the Company, the adoption primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee.
Substantially all the leases for which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate for branches, mortgage, and operations locations. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had 36 operating leases with terms greater than one year to 36 years. Leases with initial terms of less than one year are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company elected not to include equipment leases and leases in which the Company is the lessor on the consolidated balance sheets as these are not material.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease up to an additional 20 years or more. Certain lease agreements contain provisions to periodically adjust rental payments for inflation. Renewal options that management is reasonably certain to renew are included in the ROU asset and lease liability.

Note (15)(14)—Income taxes:
In connection with the initial public offering, as discussed in Note 1, the Company terminated its S-corporation status and became a taxable entity (“C corporation”) on September 16, 2016. As such, any periods prior to September 16, 2016 will only reflect an effective state income tax rate. The reported income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 reflects the increase in the deferred tax net liability of $13,181 from the conversion in the taxable status. The deferred tax net liability is the result of timing differences in the recognition of income/deductions for generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and tax purposes. The consolidated statements of income present unaudited pro forma statements of income for the year to date and for prior year periods.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law, among other things permanently reducedreducing the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, effective for tax years beginning January 1, 2018. Under the guidance of ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company revalued its net deferred tax assets on the date of enactment based on the reduction in the overall future tax benefit expected to be realized at the lower tax rate implemented by the new legislation. After reviewing the Company’s inventory of deferred tax assets and liabilities on the date of enactment and giving consideration to the future impact of the lower corporate tax rates and other provisions of the new legislation, the Company’s revaluation of its net deferred tax liabilities wasresulted in a $5,894 reduction, which was included in “income taxes”tax expense” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Although in the normal course of business the
The Company is
required to make estimates and assumptions for certain tax items which cannot be fully determined at period end, the Company did not identify items for which the income tax effects of the Tax Act have not been completed as of December 31, 2017 and, therefore, considers its accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act on its deferred tax assets and liabilities to be complete as of December 31, 2017.In recording the impact of the conversion to a C corporation, the Company recorded a deferred income tax expense of $2,955 related to the unrealized gain on available for sale securities through the income statement in accordance with ASC 740-20-45-8; therefore, the amount shown in other comprehensive income has not been reduced by the above expense. This difference will remain in OCI until the underlying securities are sold or mature in accordance with the portfolio approach allowed under ASC 740.
Tax periods for all fiscal years after 2013 remain openno longer subject to examination by thetaxing authorities for tax years before 2016 for federal taxes and before 2015 for various state taxing jurisdictionsjurisdictions.

(17)(16)—Commitments and contingencies:
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates.
Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment. | | Year Ended | |

In connection with the sale of mortgage loans to third party investors, the Bank makes usual and customary representations and warranties as to the propriety of its origination activities. Occasionally, the investors require the Bank to repurchase loans sold to them under the terms of the warranties. When this happens, the loans are recorded at fair value with a corresponding charge to a valuation reserve. The total principal amount of loans repurchased (or indemnified for) was $4,704 and $8,326 and $2,453$6,475, $6,646, and$4,704 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162019, 2018, and 2015, respectively.2017.

(19)(18)—Fair value of financial instruments:
FASB ASC 820-10
defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that are derived from assumptions based on management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The hierarchy is broken down into the following three levels, based on the reliability of inputs:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities that are derived from assumptions based on management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The Company records the fair values of financial assets and liabilities on a recurring and non-recurring basis using the following methods and assumptions:
Available-for-sale securities—Available-for-sale
Investment securities-Investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments or are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the pricing relationship or correlation among other benchmark quoted securities.

The fair value of certain of the Company’s equity securities are determined from information derived from external parties that calculate discounted cash flows using swap and LIBOR curves plus spreads that adjust for loss severities, volatility, credit risk and optionality. When available, broker quotes are used to validate the model. Industry research reports as well as assumptions about specific-issuer defaults and deferrals are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations. There is no established market for the Company’s equity securities, and as such, the Company has estimated that historical costs approximates market value.

Loans considered impaired are reserved for at the time the loan is identified as impaired taking into account the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on changes in market conditions from the time of valuation and management's knowledge of the client and client's business. Other real estate owned acquired in settlement of indebtedness is recorded at fair value of the real estate less estimated costs to sell. Subsequently, it may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments for declines in fair value. Any write-downs based on the asset's fair value at the date of foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the lending administrative department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry wide statistics.
The Company elected to measure all loans originated for sale at fair value under the fair value option as permitted under ASC 825. Electing to measure these assets at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better matches the changes in fair value of the loans with changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used to economically hedge them.
Net (losses) gainslosses of $9,111$2,861 and $(2,289)$4,539 resulting from fair value changes of the mortgage loans were recorded in income during the yearyears ended December 31, 20172019 and 2016,2018, respectively. The amount does not reflect changes in fair values of related derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to market-related risks associated with these mortgage loans. The change in fair value of both loans held for sale and the related derivative instruments are recorded in Mortgage Banking Income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Election of the fair value option allows the Company to reduce the accounting volatility that would otherwise result from the asymmetry created by accounting for the financial instruments at the lower of cost or fair value and the derivatives at fair value. The fair value option election does
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was $51,705 and $67,362, respectively, of GNMA loans previously sold that the Company did not

The Company’s valuation of loans held for sale incorporates an assumption for credit risk; however, given the short-term period that the Company holds these loans, valuation adjustments attributable to instrument-specific credit risk is nominal. Interest income on loans held for sale measured at fair value is accrued as it is earned based on contractual rates and is reflected in loan interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

(21)(20)—Segment reporting:
The Company and the Bank are engaged in the business of banking and provide a full range of financial services. The Company determines reportable segments based on the significance of the segment’s operating results to the overall Company, the products and services offered, customer characteristics, processes and service delivery of the segments and the regular financial performance review and allocation of resources by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The Company has identified two distinct reportable segments—Banking and Mortgage. The Company’s primary segment is Banking, which provides a full range of deposit and lending products and services to corporate, commercial and consumer customers. The Company offers full-service conforming residential mortgage products, including conforming residential loans and services through the Mortgage segment utilizing mortgage offices outside of the geographic footprint of the Banking
operations as well as internet delivery channels.operations. Additionally, the Mortgage segment includes the servicing of residential mortgage loans and the packaging and securitization of loans to governmental agencies. The residential mortgage products and services originated in our Banking footprint and related revenues and expenses are included in our Banking segment. The Company’s mortgage division represents a distinct reportable segment which differs from the Company’s primary business of commercial and retail banking.
The financial performance of the Mortgage segment is assessed based on results of operations reflecting direct revenues and expenses and allocated expenses. This approach gives management a better indication of the operating performance of the segment. When assessing the Banking segment’s financial performance, the CEO utilizes reports with indirect revenues and expenses including but not limited to the investment portfolio, electronic delivery channels and areas that primarily support the banking segment operations. Therefore these are included in the results of the Banking segment. Other indirect revenue and expenses related to general administrative areas are also included in the internal financial results reports of the Banking segment utilized by the CEO for analysis and are thus included for Banking segment reporting. The Mortgage segment utilizes funding sources from the Banking segment in order to fund mortgage loans that

are ultimately sold on the secondary market. The Mortgage segment uses the proceeds from loan sales to repay obligations due to the Banking segment.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company realigned its segment reporting structure to reclassify mortgage banking income and related expenses associated with retail mortgage originations within our Banking geographic footprint from the Mortgage segment to the Banking segment. This change was made to capture all of the product and service offerings for our Banking customer base within our banking geographic footprint into the Banking segment while capturing all of the mortgage banking activities outside of the banking footprint into the Mortgage segment to allow our CEO to better determine resource allocations and operating performance for each segment. As such, the tables below have been revised to reflect the reclassification for all periods presented.
The following tables provides segment financial information for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 follows:

Prior to the initial public offering, awards granted under the 2012 EBI PlansPlan were settled in cash only. Following the initial public offering, participants in the EBI Plans were given the one-time option to elect, for each EBI Unit vested to such participant, either (i) an amount in cash or (ii) a number of shares of Company common stock determined pursuant to a conversion formula that took into account the effect of the initial public offering. Consistent with the terms of the EBI Plans and approved by the Board of Directors, outstanding EBI Units were adjusted to reflect the 100-for-one stock split that was effectuated prior to the IPO.The Bank also has entered into a separate deferred compensation agreement with one key executive.
Each plan or agreement is an unfunded general obligation of the Bank. The plans and agreements have varying vesting periods and other terms as follows:
2010 EBI Plan— Pursuant to the terms of the 2010 EBI Plan, each EBI Unit vests ratably over five years, or earlier upon a change of control, death or disability or retirement after age 65.On or shortly following the vesting date, the holder of an EBI Unit will receive an amount in cash (or, if so elected by the participant following the IPO, in stock) equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the December 31 immediately preceding the payment date. Prior to the IPO, fair market value was determined by dividing 7.5% of the total assets of the Bank by the total number of outstanding common stock shares of the Company. Following the IPO, EBI Units are valued based upon the Company’s stock price. Units under this plan became fully vested January, 2017.
Preferred EBI Plan—The Preferred EBI Plan has the same terms and conditions as those described above for the 2010 EBI Plan, with the exception of a seven year ratable vesting period. Units under this plan became fully vested January, 2017.
2012 EBI Plan— Pursuant to the terms of the 2012 EBI Plan, each EBI Unit vests and becomes payable following the third anniversary of the date of grant, or earlier upon a change of control, death or disability or retirement after age 65. On or shortly following the vesting date, the holder of an EBI Unit will receive an amount in cash (or, if so elected by the participant following the IPO, in stock) equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the December 31 immediately preceding the payment date. Following the IPO, EBI Units are valued based upon the Company’s stock price. Prior to the IPO, fair market value of the Company was determined based upon the average of the sum of (a) 15 times the

Company’s after-tax earnings, based on a default tax rate imposed by the Code, and (b) 1.5 times the Company’s tangible book value, defined as the consolidated equity of the Company less unrealized gains (losses) and less goodwill and intangible assets.

No further grants will be made under the 2012 EBI Plan (as adjusted for the stock split), multiplied by (ii) 1.13 (determined by dividing $21.4085, the fair market value per EBI Unit as determined under the 2012 EBI Plan, by $19.00, the IPO price).

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) as of December 31,
20172019 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31,
2017,2019, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for ensuring that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act,
of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission’sSEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s senior management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The information required to be provided pursuant to this item is set forth under the headings “Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting” in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report from our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit emerging growth companies, which we are, to provide only Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Controls
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31,
20172019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, errors and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Holmes pursuant to his employment agreement filed as Exhibit 10.12 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (File No. 333-213210), filed with the SEC on September 6, 2016. The Amendments are effective as of March 1, 2018. The Company has previously granted to each of the Company’s named executive officers (Messrs. Holmes, Evans, and Johnson) various RSU and EBI Unit awards.
With respect to the specified awards of RSUs, the Amendments provide for the following additional early vesting provisions: (i) vesting upon retirement after reaching the age of 65 provided that the retiree has performed 10 years of service to the Company or its subsidiaries and (ii) vesting upon termination by the Company without “cause” (as such term is defined in the 2016 Incentive Plan). In addition, the Amendments make certain changes to the conversion provisions of
None.
the form of RSU award agreement to ensure compliance with Section 409A of the Code with respect to the issuance of shares of common stock to certain “specified employees” of the Company (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) upon vesting of the RSU award. With respect to the existing awards of EBI Units, the Amendments provide for additional early vesting upon termination without “cause” (as such term is defined in the 2012 EBI Plan). Existing awards of EBI Units contain a provision for vesting upon retirement at age 65.
The foregoing description of the Amendments does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Certificate (2018) pursuant to the FB Financial Corporation 2016 Incentive Plan, the Form of EBI Unit Award Agreement pursuant to the 2012 Equity Based Incentive Plan, the Long Form of EBI Unit Award Agreement pursuant to the 2012 Equity Based Incentive Plan and the First Amendment to the Form of EBI Unit Award Agreement pursuant to the 2012 Equity Based Incentive Plan, copies of each of which are attached to this Annual Report as Exhibit 10.8, Exhibit 10.16, Exhibit 10.17 and Exhibit 10.18, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.
