FULTON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. Operating results for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.2021. The Corporation evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing of this Form 10-Q with the SEC.

CECL Adoption and Updated Significant Accounting Policy

On January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,Instruments. which replaces the incurred loss methodology, and is referred to as CECL. The measurement of expected credit losses under CECL is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and HTM debt securities. It also applies to OBS credit exposures, such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments, and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with ASC Topic 842.

The Corporation adopted CECL using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, net of investments in leases and OBS credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under CECL, while prior period results are reported in accordance with the previously applicable incurred loss methodology. The Corporation recorded an increase of $58.3 million to the ACL on January 1, 2020 as a result of the adoption of CECL. Retained earnings decreased $43.8 million and deferred tax assets increased by $12.4 million. Included in the $58.3 million increase to the ACL was $2.1 million for certain OBS credit exposures that was previously recognized in other liabilities before the adoption of CECL.

Loans: Loans are stated at their principal amount outstanding, except for mortgage loans held for sale, which are carried at fair value. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned. Unearned income on lease financing receivables is recognized on a basis which approximates the effective yield method.

In general, loans are placed on non-accrual status once they become 90 days delinquent as to principal or interest. In certain cases a loan may be placed on non-accrual status prior to being 90 days delinquent if there is an indication that the borrower is having difficulty making payments, or the Corporation believes it is probable that all amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest previously credited to income is reversed. Non-accrual loans may be restored to accrual status when all delinquent principalCARES Act and interest has been paid currently for six consecutive months or the loan is considered secured and in the process of collection. The Corporation generally applies payments received on non-accruing loans to principal until such time as the principal is paid off, after which time any payments received are recognized as interest income. If the Corporation believes that all amounts outstanding on a non-accrual loan will ultimately be collected, payments received subsequent to its classification as a non-accrual loan are allocated between interest income and principal.

A loan that is 90 days delinquent may continue to accrue interest if the loan is both adequately secured and is in the process of collection. Past due status is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments. An adequately secured loan is one that has collateral with a supported fair value that is sufficient to discharge the debt, and/or has an enforceable guarantee from a financially responsible party. A loan is considered to be in the process of collection if collection is proceeding through legal action or through other activities that are reasonably expected to result in repayment of the debt or restoration to current status in the near future.

Loans deemed to be a loss are written off through a charge against the ACL. Closed-end consumer loans are generally charged off when they become 120 days past due (180 days for open-end consumer loans) if they are not adequately secured by real
9


estate. All other loans are evaluated for possible charge-off when it is probable that the balance will not be collected, based on the ability of the borrower to pay and the value of the underlying collateral, if any. Principal recoveries of loans previously charged off are recorded as increases to the ACL.

Loan Origination Fees and Costs: Loan origination fees and the related direct origination costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to interest income using the effective yield method. For mortgage loans sold, net loan origination fees and costs are included in the gain or loss on sale of the related loan, as components of mortgage banking.

Loan origination fees and the related direct origination costs for loans originated under the PPP loan program are amortized on a straight-line basis over the repayment period of the loan. To the extent that a PPP loan is forgiven, the unamortized fees and costs will be recorded at the time of forgiveness.

Troubled Debt Restructurings: Loans are accounted for and reported as TDRs when, for economic or legal reasons, the Corporation grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions, whether negotiated or imposed by bankruptcy, granted under a TDR typically involve a temporary deferral of scheduled loan payments, an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date or a reduction in the interest rate. Non-accrual TDRs can be restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six consecutive months after modification.Consolidated Appropriations Act - 2021

On March 27, 2020 the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act includes an option for financial institutions to suspend the requirements of GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR. Certain conditions must be met with respect to the loan modification including that the modification is related to COVID-19 and the modified loan was not more than 30 days past due on December 31, 20192019. On December 27, 2020, the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law and this Act extended the modificationrelief for TDR treatment that was executed between March 1,set to expire on December 31, 2020 andto the earlier of (a) 60 days after the date of the COVID-19 national emergency comes to an endtermination date or (b) December 31, 2020.January 1, 2022. The Corporation is applying the option under the CARES act for all loan modifications that qualify.

On April 7, 2020, Troubled Debt Restructurings: Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by COVID-19 was issued by the federal banking regulatory agencies. Included in the Interagency Statement were provisions permitting banks that grant loan modifications to customers impacted by COVID-19 to exclude those modifications from loans categorized as TDRs. The Corporation is adopting the guidance in this Interagency Statement effective for COVID-19-related modifications occurring subsequent to March 13, 2020.

Allowance for Credit Losses: The discussion that follows describes the methodology for determining the ACL under the CECL model that was adopted January 1, 2020. The allowance methodology for prior periods is disclosed in the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Corporation has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the measurement of its ACL. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any outstanding accrued interest is reversed against interest income.

Loans: The ACL for loans is an estimate of the expected losses to be realized over the life of the loans in the portfolio. The ACL is determined for two distinct categories of loans: 1) loans evaluated collectively for expected credit losses and 2) loans evaluated individually for expected credit losses.

Loans Evaluated Collectively: Loans evaluated collectively for expected credit losses include loans on accrual status, excluding accruing TDRs, and loans initially evaluated individually, but determined not to have enhanced credit risk characteristics. This category includes loans on non-accrual status and TDRs where the total commitment amount is less than $1 million. The ACL is estimated by applying a probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) to the exposure at default (EAD) at the loan or lease level. In order to determine the PD, LGD, and EAD inputs:
Loans are aggregated into pools based on similar risk characteristics.
The PD and LGD model components are determined based on loss estimates driven by historical credit loss experience for each pool of loans.
The PD model components use econometric regression models that use the Corporation’s historical credit loss experience and economic variable inputs to estimate a PD for each loan pool. The LGD model component calculates a lifetime LGD estimate across each pool of loans utilizing a loss rate approach based on the Corporation’s historical charge-off and the balance at the time of loan default adjusted for the Corporation’s recovery experience.
Reasonable and supportable economic variable forecasts are incorporated into the PD model components.
Reasonable and supportable forecast periods are based on different economic forecasts and scenarios sourced from an external third party. A future loss forecast over the reasonable and supportable forecast period is based on the projected performance of specific economic variables that statistically correlate loss experience in the various loan pools.
10


After the reasonable and supportable forecast period, economic variable forecasts naturally revert, at the input level,to a long-run average.
To calculate the EAD model component, cash flow assumptions are established for each loan using maturity date, amortization schedule and interest rate. In addition, a constant prepayment rate is calculated for each loan pool.

Loans Evaluated Individually: Loans evaluated individually for expected credit losses include loans on non-accrual status and TDRs where the commitment amount equals or exceeds $1.0 million. The required ACL for such loans is determined using either the present value of expected future cash flows, observable market price or the fair value of collateral.

Loans evaluated individually may have specific allocations assigned if the measured value of the loan using one of the noted techniques is less than its current carrying value. For loans measured using the fair value of collateral, if the analysis determines that sufficient collateral value would be available for repayment of the debt, then no allocations would be assigned to those loans. Collateral could be in the form of real estate or business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, in the case of commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial loans may also be secured by real estate.

For loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through appraisals performed by third-party appraisers, discounted to arrive at expected net sale proceeds. For collateral dependent loans, estimated real estate fair values are also net of estimated selling costs. When a real estate secured loan is impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including: the age of the most recent appraisal; the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal; the condition of the property; the Corporation’s experience and knowledge of the real estate market; the purpose of the loan; market factors; payment status; the strength of any guarantors; and the existence and age of other indications of value such as broker price opinions, among others. The Corporation generally obtains updated appraisals performed by third-party appraisers for impaired loans secured predominantly by real estate every 12 months.

When updated appraisals are not obtained for loans secured by real estate, fair values are estimated based on the original appraisal values, as long as the original appraisal indicated an acceptable loan-to-value position and there has not been a significant deterioration in the collateral value since the original appraisal was performed.

For loans with principal balances greater than or equal to $1.0 million secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable or inventory, estimated fair values are determined based on borrower financial statements, inventory listings, accounts receivable agings or borrowing base certificates. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. Liquidation or collection discounts are applied to these assets based upon existing loan evaluation policies.

Management regularly reviews loans in the portfolio to assess credit quality indicators and to determine appropriate loan classification. For commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans to commercial borrowers, an internal risk rating process is used. The Corporation believes that internal risk ratings are the most relevant credit quality indicator for these types of loans. The migration of loans through the various internal risk rating categories is a significant component of the ACL methodology for these loans, which bases the PD on this migration. Assigning risk ratings involves judgment. Risk ratings may be changed based on ongoing monitoring procedures, or if specific loan review assessments identify a deterioration or an improvement in the loan.

The following is a summary of the Corporation's internal risk rating categories:

Pass: These loans do not currently pose undue credit risk and can range from the highest to average quality, depending on the degree of potential risk.

Special Mention: These loans have a heightened credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a classification of Substandard. Loans in this category are currently acceptable, but are nevertheless potentially weak.

Substandard or Lower: These loans are inadequately protected by current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower. There exists a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the normal repayment of the debt.

The allocation of the ACL is reviewed to evaluate its appropriateness in relation to the overall risk profile of the loan portfolio. The Corporation considers risk factors such as: local and national economic conditions; trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans; the diversity of borrower industry types; and the composition of the portfolio by loan type.

11


Qualitative and Other Adjustments to ACL: In addition to the quantitative credit loss estimates for loans evaluated collectively, qualitative factors that may not be fully captured in the quantitative results are also evaluated. These qualitative factors include changes in lending policy, the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall business conditions in the economy, credit concentrations, specific industry risks, competition, model imprecision and legal and regulatory requirements. Qualitative adjustments are judgmental and are based on management’s knowledge of the portfolio and the markets in which the Corporation operates. Qualitative adjustments are evaluated and approved on a quarterly basis. Additionally, the ACL includes other allowance categories that are not directly incorporated in the quantitative results. These categories include but are not limited to loans-in-process, trade acceptances and overdrafts.

OBS Credit Exposures:The ACL for OBS credit exposures is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. This portion of the ACL represents management’s estimate of expected losses in its unfunded loan commitments and other OBS credit exposures. The ACL specific to unfunded commitments is determined by estimating future draws and applying the expected loss rates on those draws. Future draws are based on historical averages of utilization rates (i.e., the likelihood of draws taken). The ACL for OBS credit exposures is increased or decreased by charges or reductions to expense, through the provision for credit losses.

HTM Debt Securities:Expected credit losses on HTM debt securities would be recorded in the ACL on HTM debt securities. As of September 30, 2020, no HTM debt securities required an ACL as these investments consist solely of government guaranteed residential mortgage-backed securities.

AFS Debt Securities: The ACL approach for AFS debt securities differs from the CECL approach used for HTM debt securities as AFS debt securities are carried at fair value rather than amortized cost. Prior to the adoption of CECL, credit losses on AFS debt securities were determined using an OTTI approach. Under CECL, the concept of OTTI has been eliminated, but the general approach to determining credit losses is largely consistent with the OTTI method. Under CECL, credit losses on AFS debt securities are recognized through an ACL rather than through a direct write-down of the security. As of September 30, 2020, no AFS debt securities required an ACL.

(1) No HTM securities were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.2020.

The Corporation’s collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. The change in fair value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost. Therefore, the Corporation does not have an ACL for these investments as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.

Based on management’s evaluations, no ACL was required for ARCs ormunicipal securities, corporate debt securities or ARCs as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, which may be at maturity.

The Corporation segments its loan portfolio by "portfolio segments," as presented in the table above. Certain portfolio segments are further disaggregated by "class segment" for the purpose of estimating credit losses. See "Allowance for Credit Losses" below for further discussion regarding portfolio and class segments and their impact on the determination of the ACL.

Allowance for Credit Losses effective January 1, 2020

As discussed in Note 1, "BasisThe Corporation has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the measurement of Presentation," the Corporation adopted CECL effective January 1, 2020. CECL requires estimated credit lossesits ACL. When a loan is placed on loans to be determined based on an expected life of loan model, as compared to an incurred loss model (in effect for periods prior to 2020). Accordingly, ACL disclosures subsequent to January 1, 2020 are not always comparable to prior periods. In addition, certain new disclosures required under CECL are not applicable to prior periods. As a result, the following tables present disclosures separately for each period, where appropriate. New disclosures required under CECL are only shown for the current period and are noted. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation", for a summary of the impact of adopting CECL on January 1, 2020.non-accrual status, any outstanding accrued interest is reversed against interest income.

Under CECL,Loans: The ACL for loans is an estimate of the expected losses to be realized over the life of the loans in the portfolio. The ACL is determined for two distinct categories of loans: 1) loans evaluated collectively for expected credit losses and 2) loans evaluated individually for impairment consist ofexpected credit losses.

Loans Evaluated Collectively: Loans evaluated collectively for expected credit losses include loans on accrual status, excluding accruing TDRs, and loans initially evaluated individually, but determined not to have enhanced credit risk characteristics. This category includes loans on non-accrual loansstatus and TDRs. UnderTDRs where the incurred loss model in effect priortotal commitment amount is less than $1 million. The ACL is estimated by applying a PD and LGD to the adoptionEAD at the loan level. In order to determine the PD, LGD, and EAD calculation inputs:

Loans are aggregated into pools based on similar risk characteristics.
The PD and LGD rates are determined by historical credit loss experience for each pool of CECL, loansloans.
The loan segment PD rates are estimated using six econometric regression models that use the Corporation’s historical credit loss experience and incorporate reasonable and supportable economic forecasts for various macroeconomic variables that are statistically correlated with expected loss behavior in the loan segment.
The reasonable and supportable forecast for each macroeconomic variable is sourced from an external third party and is applied over the contractual term of the Corporation’s loan portfolio. The Corporation’s economic forecast considers the general health of the economy, the interest rate environment, real estate pricing and market risk.
A single baseline forecast scenario is used for each macroeconomic variable.
The loan segment lifetime LGD rates are estimated using a loss rate approach based on the Corporation’s historical charge-off experience and the balance at the time of loan default.
The LGD rates are adjusted for the Corporation’s recovery experience.
To calculate the EAD, the corporation estimates contractual cash flows over the remaining life of each loan. Certain cash flow assumptions are established for each loan using maturity date, amortization schedule and interest rate. In addition, a prepayment rate is used in determining the EAD estimate.
Loans Evaluated Individually: Loans evaluated individually for impairment were referredexpected credit losses include loans on non-accrual status and TDRs where the commitment amount equals or exceeds $1.0 million. The required ACL for such loans is determined using either the present value of expected future cash flows, observable market price or the fair value of collateral.

Loans evaluated individually may have specific allocations of the ACL assigned if the measured value of the loan using one of the noted techniques is less than its current carrying value. For loans measured using the fair value of collateral, if the analysis determines that sufficient collateral value would be available for repayment of the debt, then no allocations would be assigned to those loans. Collateral could be in the form of real estate or business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, in the case of commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial loans may also be secured by real estate.

For loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through appraisals performed by third-party appraisers, discounted to arrive at expected net sale proceeds. For collateral dependent loans, estimated real estate fair values are also net of estimated selling costs. When a real estate secured loan is impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including: the age of the most recent appraisal; the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal; the condition of the property; the Corporation’s experience and knowledge of the real estate market; the purpose of the loan; market factors; payment status; the strength of any guarantors; and the existence and age of other indications of value such as broker price opinions, among others. The Corporation generally obtains updated appraisals performed by third-party appraisers for impaired loans secured predominantly by real estate every 12 months.

When updated appraisals are not obtained for loans secured by real estate, fair values are estimated based on the original appraisal values, as long as the original appraisal indicated an acceptable loan-to-value position and there has not been a significant deterioration in the collateral value since the original appraisal was performed.

For loans with principal balances greater than or equal to $1.0 million secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable or inventory, estimated fair values are determined based on borrower financial statements, inventory listings, accounts receivable agings or borrowing base certificates. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. Liquidation or collection discounts are applied to these assets based upon existing loan evaluation policies.

Management regularly reviews loans in the portfolio to assess credit quality indicators and to determine appropriate loan classification. For commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans to commercial borrowers, an internal risk rating process is used. The Corporation believes that internal risk ratings are the most relevant credit quality indicator for these types of loans. The migration of loans through the various internal risk rating categories is a significant component of the ACL methodology for these loans, which bases the PD on this migration. Assigning risk ratings involves judgment. Risk ratings may be changed based on ongoing monitoring procedures, or if specific loan review assessments identify a deterioration or an improvement in the loan.

The ACL relatedis reviewed to loans consistsevaluate its appropriateness in relation to the overall risk profile of the loan portfolio. The Corporation considers risk factors such as: local and national economic conditions; trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans; the diversity of borrower industry types; and the composition of the portfolio by loan type.

Qualitative and Other Adjustments to ACL: In addition to the quantitative credit loss estimates for loans evaluated collectively, qualitative factors that may not be fully captured in the quantitative results are also evaluated. These qualitative factors include changes in lending policy, the nature and individually for expected credit losses. The ACL related to loans represents an estimate of expected credit losses over the expected lifevolume of the loans asportfolio, overall business conditions in the economy, credit concentrations, specific industry risks, competition, model imprecision and legal and regulatory requirements. Qualitative adjustments are judgmental and are based on management’s knowledge of the balance sheet dateportfolio and is recorded asthe markets in which the Corporation operates. Qualitative adjustments are evaluated and approved on a reductionquarterly basis. Additionally, the ACL includes other allowance categories that are not directly incorporated in the quantitative results. These categories include but are not limited to Net Loans.loans-in-process, trade acceptances and overdrafts.

OBS Credit Exposures: The ACL for OBS credit exposures includes estimatedis recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. This portion of the ACL represents management’s estimate of expected losses onin its unfunded loan commitments letters of credit and other OBS credit exposures. The total ACL specific to unfunded commitments is determined by estimating future draws and applying the expected loss rates on those draws. Future draws are based on historical averages of utilization rates (i.e., the likelihood of draws taken). The ACL for OBS credit exposures is increased or decreased by charges or reductions to expense, through the provision for credit losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

Several factors as of the end of the second quarter of 2021 in comparison to the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, including improved economic forecasts, reduced the level of the ACL determined to be necessary as of June 30, 2021, resulting in the negative provision for credit losses for the both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The higher provision expense during the first ninesix months of 2020 was largely driven by the overall downturn in economic forecasts due to COVID-19, resulting in higher expected future credit losses under CECL. The ACL includes qualitative adjustments, as appropriate, intended to capture the impact of uncertainties not reflected in the quantitative models. Qualitative adjustments include and consider changes in international, national, regional and local economic and business conditions, an assessmentduring the first six months of the lending environment, including underwriting standards and other factors affecting credit quality. Qualitative adjustments used in determining the ACL2020 increased compared to those at the time of the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020 primarily as a result of uncertainties related to forecasted economic variables due to the economic impact of COVID-19 andCOVID-19. These uncertainties included consideration for the future performance of loans that received deferrals or forbearances due to COVID-19.

Allowance for Credit Losses, prior to January 1, 2020

Prior to January 1, 2020, the ACL consistedas a result of the allowance for loan lossesCOVID-19 and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan losses represented management’s estimateimpact COVID-19 had on certain industries where the quantitative models did not appear to be fully capturing the appropriate level of incurred losses inrisk at that time. PPP loans issued are fully guaranteed by the loan portfolioSBA and, as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to Net Loans. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represented management’s estimate of incurred losses in unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit, andsuch, no ACL was recorded in other liabilities onagainst the consolidated balance sheets.

Non-accrual Loans

All loans individually evaluated for impairment are measured for losses on a quarterly basis. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, substantially all of the Corporation’s individually evaluated loans with total commitments greater than or equal to $1.0 million were measured based on the estimated fair value of each loan’s collateral, if any. Collateral could be in the form of real estate, in the case of commercial mortgages and construction loans, or business assets, such as accounts receivable
17


or inventory, in the case of commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial loans may also be secured by real estate.

As of both SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, approximately 93%81% and 83%, respectively, of loans evaluated individually for impairment with principal balances greater than or equal to $1.0 million, whose primary collateral isconsisted of real estate, were measured at estimated fair value using appraisals performed by state certified third-party appraisers that had been updated in the preceding 12 months.

The estimated fair values of the collateral securing these loans exceeded their carrying amount, or the loans were previously charged down to realizable collateral values. Accordingly, no specific valuation allowance was considered to be necessary.

Asset Quality

Maintaining an appropriate ACL is dependent on various factors, including the ability to identify potential problem loans in a timely manner. For commercial construction, residential construction, commercial and industrial, and commercial real estate, an internal risk rating process is used. The Corporation believes that internal risk ratings are the most relevant credit quality indicator for these types of loans. The migration of loans through the various internal risk rating categories is a significant component of the ACL methodology for these loans, under both the CECL and incurred loss models, which bases the probability of default on this migration. Assigning risk ratings involves judgment. The Corporation's loan review officers provide a separate assessment of risk rating accuracy. Risk ratings may be changed based on the ongoing monitoring procedures performed by loan officers or credit administration staff or if specific loan review assessments identify a deterioration or an improvement in the loans.

The following is a summary of the Corporation's internal risk rating categories:

Pass: These loans do not currently pose undue credit risk and can range from the highest to average quality, depending     on the degree of potential risk.

Special Mention: These loans have a heightened credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a classification of Substandard. Loans in this category are currently acceptable but, are nevertheless potentially weak.

Substandard or Lower: These loans are inadequately protected by current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower. There exists a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the normal repayment of the debt.

The Corporation does not assign internal risk ratings to smaller balance, homogeneous loans, such as home equity, residential mortgage, construction loans to individuals secured by residential real estate, consumer and equipment lease financing. For these loans, the most relevant credit quality indicator is delinquency status. The migration of loans through the various delinquency status categories is a significant component of the ACL methodology for those loans, under both the CECL and incurred loss models, which basebases the PD on this migration.

Collateral-Dependent Loans

A financial asset is considered to be collateral-dependent when the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. For all classes of financial assets deemed collateral-dependent, the Corporation elected the practical expedient to estimate expected credit losses based on the collateral’s fair value less cost to sell. In most cases, the Corporation records a partial charge-off to reduce the loan’s carrying value to the collateral’s fair value less cost to sell. Substantially all of the collateral supporting collateral-dependent financial assets consists
23


of various types of real estate, including residential properties;properties, commercial properties, such as retail centers, office buildings, and lodging;lodging, agriculture land;land, and vacant land.

Estimated fair value of MSRs at end of period$29,682 $43,968 $29,682 $43,968 

MSRs represent the economic value of contractual rights to service mortgage loans that have been sold. The total portfolio of mortgage loans serviced by the Corporation for unrelated third parties was $4.8$4.4 billion and $4.9$4.7 billion as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. Actual and expected prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans can impact the fair values of the MSRs. The Corporation accounts for MSRs at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

26


The fair value of MSRs is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows from servicing income, net of expense, over the expected life of the underlying loans at a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with these assets. Expected life is based on the contractual terms of the loans, as adjusted for prepayment projections. The fair values of MSRs were $29.7$29.5 million and $45.2$28.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. Based on its fair value analysis as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Corporation determined that a $1.5$2.2 million increase to the valuation allowance was required for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, resulting in a total valuation allowance of $9.2$6.6 million for the nine months ended Septemberas of June 30, 2020.2021. The increases$2.2 million increase to the valuation allowance werewas recorded as reductionsa reduction to mortgage banking income on the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Based on its fair value analysis as of March 31, 2021 the Corporation had determined that a $6.1 million reduction to the valuation allowance was required as of March 31, 2021; the net $3.9 million decrease to the valuation allowance was recorded as an increase to mortgage banking income on the consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

NOTE 6 – Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation manages its exposure to certain interest rate and foreign currency risks through the use of derivatives. NoneCertain of the Corporation's outstanding derivative contracts are designated as hedges, and none are entered into for speculative purposes. Derivative instrumentsThe Corporation does enter into derivative contracts that are carriedintended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even if hedge accounting does not apply or the Corporation elects not to apply hedge accounting.

The Corporation records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value withof derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Corporation has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For derivatives where hedge accounting is applied, changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. For derivatives where hedge accounting does not apply, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings as components of interest income, non-interest income or non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

25


Derivative contracts create counterparty credit risk with both the Corporation's customers and with institutional derivative counterparties. The Corporation manages counterparty credit risk through its credit approval processes, monitoring procedures and obtaining adequate collateral, when the Corporation determines it is appropriate to do so and in accordance with counterparty contracts.

For each of the derivatives, gross derivative assets and liabilities are recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. Related gains and losses on these derivative instruments are recorded in other changes, net on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Corporation enters into commitments to originate certain fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for customers, also referred to as interest rate locks. In addition, the Corporation enters into forward commitments for the future sales or purchases of mortgage-backed securities to or from third-party counterparties to hedge the effect of changes in interest rates on the values of both the interest rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale. Forward sales commitments may also be in the form of commitments to sell individual mortgage loans at a fixed price at a future date. The amount necessary to settle each interest rate lock is based on the price that secondary market investors would pay for loans with similar characteristics, including interest rate and term, as of the date fair value is measured.

Interest Rate Swaps - Non-Designated Hedges

The Corporation enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Corporation simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings. The Corporation’s existing credit derivatives result from participations in interest rate swaps provided by external lenders as part of loan participation arrangements, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Corporation’s assets or liabilities. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Corporation provides to certain lenders which participate in loans.The Corporation is required to clear all eligible interest rate swap contracts with a clearing agent and is subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Corporation’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to reduce volatility in net interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Corporation primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. During the first quarter of 2021, the Corporation entered into interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing floating rate loans. These hedge contracts involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Corporation making floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the unrealized gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into interest income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income as interest payments are made on the Corporation’s variable-rate liabilities. During the next twelve months, the Corporation estimates that an additional $3.4 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest income.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Corporation enters into foreign exchange contracts to accommodate the needs of its customers. Foreign exchange contracts are commitments to buy or sell foreign currency on a specific date at a contractual price. The Corporation limits its foreign exchange exposure with customers by entering into contracts with institutional counterparties to mitigate its foreign exchange risk. The Corporation also holds certain amounts of foreign currency with international correspondent banks ("Foreign Currency Nostro Accounts"). The Corporation limits the total overnight net foreign currency open positions, which is defined as an aggregate of all outstanding contracts and Foreign Currency Nostro Account balances, to $500,000.

Balance Sheet Offsetting

Although certain financial assets and liabilities may be eligible for offset on the consolidated balance sheets because they are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements, the Corporation elects to not offset such qualifying assets and liabilities.

The Corporation is a party to interest rate swaps with dealerfinancial institution counterparties and customers. Under these agreements, the Corporation has the right to net-settle multiple contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Cash collateral is posted by the party with a net liability position in accordance with contract thresholds and can be used to settle the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements in the event of default. A daily settlement occurs through a clearing agent for changes in the fair value of centrally cleared derivatives. Not all of the derivatives are required to be cleared daily through a clearing agent. As a result, the total fair values of interest rate swap derivative assets and liabilities recognized on the consolidated balance sheet are not equal and offsetting.

The Corporation is also a party to foreign currency exchange contracts with financial institution counterparties, under which the Corporation has the right to net-settle multiple contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. As with interest rate swaps, collateral is posted by the party with a net liability position in accordance with contract thresholds and can be used to settle the fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts in the event of default.

The Corporation also enters into agreements with customers in which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities, referred to as repurchase agreements. Under these agreements, the Corporation may transfer legal control over the assets but still maintain effective control through agreements that both entitle and obligate the Corporation to repurchase the assets. Therefore, repurchase agreements are reported as secured borrowings, classified in short-term borrowings on the consolidated balance sheets, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain classified with AFS investment securities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation has no intent to setintention of setting off these amounts, therefore, these repurchase agreements are not eligible for offset.

As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of derivatives were in a net asset position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements and as such the Corporation did not post any collateral to its derivative counterparty.

NOTE 7 – Tax Credit Investments

TCIs are primarily for investments promoting qualified affordable housing projects and investments in community development entities. Investments in these projects generate a return primarily through the realization of federal income tax credits and deductions for operating losses over a specified time period.

The TCIs are included in other assets, with any unfunded equity commitments recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Certain TCIs qualify for the proportional amortization method and are amortized over the period the Corporation expects to receive the tax credits, with the expense included within income taxes on the consolidated statements of income. Other TCIs are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, with amortization included within non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income. This amortization includes equity in partnership losses and the systematic write-down of investments over the period in which income tax credits are earned. All of the TCIs are evaluated for impairment at the end of each reporting period.

NOTE 9 – Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value using the following three categories (from highest to lowest priority):

Level 1 – Inputs that represent quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs that represent quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical instruments in non-active markets. Also includes valuation techniques whose inputs are derived principally from observable market data other than quoted prices, such as interest rates or other market-corroborated means.
Level 3 – Inputs that are largely unobservable, as little or no market data exists for the instrument being valued.








33


All assets and liabilities measured at fair value on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis have been categorized into the above three levels. The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reported on the consolidated balance sheets:

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the preceding tables are as follows:
Loans held for sale – This category includes mortgage loans held for sale that are measured at fair value. Fair values as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 were based on the price that secondary market investors were offering for loans with similar characteristics. See "Note 6 - Derivative Financial Instruments" for details related to the Corporation’s election to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.
Available for sale investment securities – Included in this asset category are debt securities. Level 2 investment securities are valued by a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses pricing models that vary based on asset class and incorporate available market information, including quoted prices of investment securities with similar characteristics. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, pricing models use available information, as applicable, through processes such as benchmark yield curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing.
Standard market inputs include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data, including market research publications. For certain security types, additional inputs may be used, or some of the standard market inputs may not be applicable.
U.S. Government securities – These securities are classified as Level 1. Fair values are based on quoted prices with active markets.
U.S. Government sponsored agency securities/State and municipal securities/Collateralized mortgage obligations/Residential mortgage-backed securities/Commercial mortgage-backed securities – These debt securities are classified as Level 2. Fair values are determined by a third-party pricing service, as detailed above.

Corporate debt securities – This category consists of subordinated debt and senior debt issued by financial institutions ($338.2367.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and $362.3$362.8 million at December 31, 2019), single-issuer trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions ($0 at September 30, 2020 and $11.2 million at December 31, 2019)2020) and other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions ($4.44.3 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and $3.9$4.4 million at December 31, 2019)2020). As noted in "Note 3 - Investment Securities", several corporate debt securities were sold in the second quarter of 2020. Refer to the specific note for further information.

Level 2 investment securities include the Corporation’s holdings of subordinated debt and senior debt, other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions and $0 and $8.8 million of single-issuer TruPS held at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair values for these corporate debt securities are determined by a third-party pricing service, as detailed above.
34


Level 3 investment securities include the Corporation’s investments in certain single-issuer TruPS ($0 at September 30, 2020 and $2.4 million at December 31, 2019). The fair values of these securities were determined based on quotes provided by third-party brokers who determined fair values based predominantly on internal valuation models which were not indicative prices or binding offers. The Corporation’s third-party pricing service cannot derive fair values for these securities primarily due to inactive markets for similar investments. Level 3 values are tested by management primarily through trend analysis, by comparing current values to those reported at the end of the preceding calendar quarter, and determining if they are reasonable based on price and spread movements for this asset class.
Auction rate securities – Due to their illiquidity, ARCs are classified as Level 3 investment securities and are valued through the use of an expected cash flows model prepared by a third-party valuation expert. The assumptions used in preparing the expected cash flows model include estimates for coupon rates, time to maturity and market rates of return. The most significant unobservable input to the expected cash flows model is an assumed return to market liquidity sometime in the next five years. If the assumed return to market liquidity was lengthened beyond the next five years, this would result in a decrease in the fair value of these ARCs. The Corporation believes that the trusts underlying the ARCs will self-liquidate as student loans are repaid. All of the loans underlying the ARCs have principal payments which are guaranteed by the federal government. Level 3 fair values are tested by management through the performance of a trend analysis of the market price and discount rate. Changes in the price and discount rates are compared to changes in market data, including bond ratings, parity ratios, balances and delinquency levels.
Investments held in Rabbi Trust – This category consists of mutual funds that are held in trust for employee deferred compensation plans that the Corporation has elected to measure at fair value. Shares of mutual funds are valued based on net asset value, which represent quoted market prices for the underlying shares held in the mutual funds, and as such, are classified as Level 1.
Derivative assets – Fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts classified as Level 1 assets ($372,000232,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and $230,000$323,000 at December 31, 2019)2020). The mutual funds and foreign exchange prices used to measure these items at fair value are based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 assets, representing the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the form of interest rate locks and forward commitments with secondary market investors ($12.03.6 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and $1.2$8.0 million at December 31, 2019)2020) and the fair value of interest rate swaps ($375.6212.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and $144.2$331.0 million at December 31, 2019)2020). The fair values of the Corporation’s interest rate locks, forward commitments and interest rate swaps represent the amounts that would be required to settle the derivative financial instruments at the balance sheet date. See "Note 6 - Derivative Financial Instruments," for additional information.

Deferred compensation liabilities – Fair value of amounts due to employees under deferred compensation plans, classified as Level 1 liabilities and are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of these liabilities are determined in the same manner as the related assets, as described under the heading "Investments held in Rabbi Trust" above.

Derivative liabilities – Level 1 liabilities, representing the fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts ($299,000193,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and $199,000$280,000 at December 31, 2019)2020).

Level 2 liabilities, representing the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the form of interest rate locks and forward commitments with secondary market investors ($1.7221,000 at June 30, 2021 and $2.3 million at September 30, 2020 and $424,000 at December 31, 2019)2020) and the fair value of interest rate swaps ($183.2107.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and $76.0$165.2 million at December 31, 2019)2020).

The fair values of these liabilities are determined in the same manner as the related assets, as described under the heading "Derivative assets" above.

Certain assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value measurement in certain circumstances, such as upon their acquisition or when there is evidence of impairment. The following table presents Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the table above are as follows:
Net Loans – This category consists of loans that were individually evaluated for impairment and have been classified as Level 3 assets. In 2020, the amount shown is the balance of nonaccrual loans, net of the related ACL. In 2019, the
36


amount shown is the balance of impaired loans, net of the related ACL. See "Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses, and Asset Quality," for additional details.
OREO – This category consists of OREO classified as Level 3 assets, for which the fair values were based on estimated selling prices less estimated selling costs for similar assets in active markets.
MSRs - This category consists of MSRs, which were initially recorded at fair value upon the sale of residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors, and subsequently carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. MSRs are amortized as a reduction to servicing income over the estimated lives of the underlying loans. MSRs are stratified by product type and evaluated for impairment by comparing each stratum's carrying amount to its estimated fair value. Fair values are determined at the end of each quarter through a discounted cash flows valuation performed by a third-party valuation expert. Significant inputs to the valuation included expected net servicing income, the discount rate and the expected life of the underlying loans. Expected life is based on the contractual terms of the loans, as adjusted for prepayment projections. The weighted average annual constant prepayment rate and the weighted average discount rate used in the SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 valuation were 17.7%17.8% and 9.5%9.0%, respectively. Management reviews the reasonableness of the significant inputs to the third-party valuation in comparison to market data. See "Note 5 - Mortgage Servicing Rights," for additional information.

In 2008,2007, the Corporation received Class B restricted shares ofthe Visa Shares in connection with a corporate restructuring undertaken by Visa, Inc. ("Visa") as partin contemplation of Visa’sits initial public offering. These securities arewere considered equity securities without readily determinable fair values. As such, the approximately 133,000 Visa Class B sharesShares owned as of September 30, 2020 were carried at a zero cost basis.






















37


During the first quarter of 2021, the Corporation sold all of its Visa Shares and recognized a $34.0 million gain.
The following tables present the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments as offor the periods shown.current period. A general description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate such fair values follows:

Fair values of financial instruments are significantly affected by the assumptions used, principally the timing of future cash flows and discount rates. Because assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, the estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and, in many cases, the estimated fair values could not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. The aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent management’s estimate of the underlying value of the Corporation.
For short-term financial instruments, defined as those with remaining maturities of 90 days or less, and excluding those recorded at fair value on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets, book value was considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The following instruments are predominantly short-term:
Assets  Liabilities
Cash and cash equivalents  Demand and savings deposits
Accrued interest receivable  Short-term borrowings
  Accrued interest payable

FRB and FHLB stock represent restricted investments and are carried at cost.cost on the consolidated balance sheets, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, fair values for loans and time deposits were estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates, as adjusted for liquidity considerations, at which similar loans would be made to borrowers and similar deposits would be issued to customers for the same remaining maturities. Fair values of loans also include estimated credit losses that would be assumed in a market transaction, which represents estimated exit prices.

Brokered deposits consists of demand and saving deposits, which are classified as Level 1, and time deposits, which are classified as Level 2. The fair value of these deposits are determined in a manner consistent with the respective type of deposits discussed above.

NOTE 10 – Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Diluted net income per share is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting common stock equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method. The Corporation’s common stock equivalents consist of outstanding stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and PSUs. PSUs are required to be included in weighted average diluted shares outstanding if performance measures, as defined in each PSU award agreement, are met as of the end of the period.

NOTE 11 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Corporation grants equity awards to employees in the form of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs or PSUs under its Amended and Restated Equity and Cash Incentive Compensation Plan ("Employee Equity Plan"). Recent grants of equity awards under the Employee Equity Plan have generally been limited to RSUs and PSUs. In addition, employees may purchase stock under the Corporation’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The fair value of equity awards granted to employees is recognized as compensation expense over the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for
39


such awards. Compensation expense for PSUs is also recognized over the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards, however, compensation expense may vary based on the expectations for actual performance relative to defined performance measures.

The Corporation also grants equity awards to non-employee members of its board of directors and subsidiary bank boards of directors under the 2011 Directors’ Equity Participation Plan, which was amended and approved by shareholders as the Amended and Restated Directors’ Equity Participation Plan in 2019 ("Directors’ Plan"). Under the Directors’ Plan, the Corporation can grant equity awards to non-employee holding company and subsidiary bank directors in the form of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs or common stock. Recent grants of equity awards under the Directors’ Plan have been limited to RSUs.

Equity awards under the Employee Equity Plan are generally granted annually and become fully vested over or after a three-year vesting period. The vesting period for non-performance-based awards represents the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards. Equity awards under the Directors' Plan are generally granted annually and become fully vested after a one-year vesting period. Certain events, as defined in the Employee Equity Plan and the Directors' Plan, result in the acceleration of the vesting of equity awards.

Fair values for RSUs and a majority of PSUs are based on the trading price of the Corporation’s stock on the date of grant and earn dividend equivalents during the vesting period, which are forfeitable if the awards do not vest. The fair value of certain PSUs are estimated through the use of the Monte Carlo valuation methodology as of the date of grant.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Employee Equity Plan had 9.38.8 million shares reserved for future grants through 2023, and the Directors’ Plan had approximately 180,000126,000 shares reserved for future grants through 2029.

Under some agreements with secondary market investors, the Corporation may have additional credit exposure beyond customary representations and warranties, based on the specific terms of those agreements.

The Corporation maintains a reserve for estimated losses related to loans sold to investors.investors in other liabilities. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the total reserve for losses on residential mortgage loans sold was $1.1$1.3 million and $3.2$1.1 million, respectively, including reserves for both representation and warranty and credit loss exposures.

Legal Proceedings


41


Legal Proceedings
The Corporation is involved in various pending and threatened claims and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Corporation evaluates the possible impact of these matters, taking into consideration the most recent information available. A loss reserve is established for those matters for which the Corporation believes a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Once established, the reserve is adjusted as appropriate to reflect any subsequent developments. Actuallosses with respect to any such matter may be more or less than the amount estimated by the Corporation. For matters where a loss is not probable, or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated by the Corporation, no loss reserve is established.

In addition, from time to time, the Corporation is involved in investigations or other forms of regulatory or governmental inquiry covering a range of possible issues and, in some cases, these may be part of similar reviews of the specified activities of other companies. These inquiries or investigations could lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings involving the Corporation, and could result in fines, penalties, restitution, other types of sanctions or restrictions, or the need for the Corporation to undertake remedial actions, or to alter its business, financial or accounting practices. The Corporation’s practice is to cooperate fully with regulatory and governmental inquiries and investigations.

As of the date of this report, the Corporation believes that any liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, which may result from the final outcomes of pending legal proceedings, or regulatory or governmental inquiries or investigations, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Corporation. However, legal proceedings, inquiries and investigations are often unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate resolution of any such matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Corporation’s results of operations in any future period, depending, in part, upon the size of the loss or liability imposed and the operating results for the period, and could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business. In addition, regardless of the ultimate outcome of any such legal proceeding, inquiry or investigation, any such matter could cause the Corporation to incur additional expenses, which could be significant, and possibly material, to the Corporation’s results of operations in any future period.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Corporation has made, and may continue to make, certain forward-looking statements with respect to its financial condition, results of operations and business. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Corporation generates the majority of its revenue through net interest income, or the difference between interest earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets, and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Growth in net interest income is dependent upon balance sheet growth and maintaining or increasing the net interest margin, which is FTE net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The Corporation also generates revenue through fees earned on the various services and products offered to its customers and through gains on sales of assets, such as loans, investments, or properties. Offsetting these revenue sources are provisions for credit losses on loans and OBS credit risks, non-interest expenses and income taxes.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused substantial disruptiondisruptions in economic and social activity, both globally and in the United States. The spread of COVID-19, and the related governmentgovernmental actions to mandate or encourage temporary closures of businesses, quarantines, social distancing, "stay at home" orders and other restrictions on in-person operations activities, and operations,activities, have caused severe disruptions in the U.S. economy, which, has, in turn, disrupted and will likely continue to disrupt the business, activities, and operations of the Company'sCorporation’s customers, as well as the Company'sCorporation’s own business and operations. The resulting impacts of COVID-19the pandemic on consumers, including the sudden, significant increaseelevated levels of unemployment and changes in the unemployment rate, has causedconsumer behavior, as well as disruptions in national and global supply chains, have continued to cause changes in consumer and business spending, borrowing needs and saving habits, which have and will likely continue to affect the demand for loans and other products and services the CompanyCorporation offers, as well as the creditworthiness of currentits borrowers.

While economic activity has rebounded as much of the national economy has “reopened,” there is still significant uncertainty concerning the breadth and prospective borrowers. The significant decrease in commercial activityduration of business disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as their impact on the U.S. economy and disruptions in supply chains associated with the pandemic, both nationally and in the Company’s markets, may causeCorporation’s customers, vendors and counterpartiescounterparties. The extent to which the pandemic impacts the Corporation’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be unablepredicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the continuing severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, whether there are additional outbreaks of COVID-19 or the emergence of more virulent COVID-19 variants, and the actions taken to meet existing payment or other obligationsrespond to any such future developments. Moreover, although multiple COVID-19 vaccines have received regulatory approval and are currently being distributed, it is too early to know how quickly and broadly these vaccines can be distributed and will be accepted and how effective they will be in mitigating the Company.adverse social and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company expectsCorporation’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, to limit,the Corporation adjusted service models at least for a periodcertain of time, customer demand for many banking products and services. Many companies and residents in the Company's market areas were subject to mandatory "non-essential business" shut-downs and stay at home orders, which reduced banking activity across its market areas. In response to these mandates, the Company temporarily limited mostfinancial center locations, including limiting some locations to drive-up and ATM services withonly, offering lobby access available by
45


appointment only, reduced hours of operation at some locations, temporarily closed some locations and encouragedencouraging the Company’sCorporation’s customers to use electronic banking platforms. In addition, a significant portion of the Company’s employees have transitioned to working remotely as a result of COVID-19.

As the COVID-19 pandemic began to subside within the Company’s markets and governmental restrictions began to be lifted or eased, the Company adopted a phased approach to restoring regular lobby access at most of its locations and returning employees currently working remotely to the Company’s offices. The timing and scope of these processes are adaptable to respond to changes in the evolution of COVID-19 and governmental restrictions and recommendations, and include the addition of new physical and procedural safeguards designed to protect the health and safety of the Company’s employees and
46


customers and comply with governmental requirements and recommendations. Approximately 25% of the Company’sCorporation’s locations are expected to provide lobby access by appointment only on a long-term basis.

As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded in the first quarter of 2020, a significant portion of the Corporation’s employees transitioned to working remotely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which, in addition to requiring added support from the Corporation’s information technology infrastructure, increases cybersecurity risks. The Corporation has announced plans for the majority of its employees currently working remotely to return to onsite or hybrid onsite-remote working arrangements late in the third quarter of 2021.

COVID-19 has significantly affected the financial markets and has resulted in a number of responses by the U.S. government, including reductions in interest rates by the FOMC. These reductions in interest rates, especially if prolonged, could continue to adversely affect the Company'sCorporation’s net interest income and margins and the Corporation’s profitability.

The CARES Act was enacted in March 2020 and, among other provisions, authorized the SBA to guarantee loans under the PPP for small businesses whothat meet the necessary eligibility requirements in order to keep their workers on the payroll. Aspayroll and fund specified operating expenses. Subsequent legislation extended the authority of September 30,the SBA to guaranty loans under the PPP through August 8, 2020. In December 2020, the Company funded approximately 10,000Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act reauthorized the SBA to guarantee loans totaling $2.0 billion under the PPP through March 31, 2021, and the PPP Extension Act of 2021 extended that authorization through June 30, 2021 for applications received by the SBA prior to June 1, 2021. From the inception of the PPP through June 30, 2021, the Corporation funded a total of approximately $2.7 billion of loans under the PPP. Through June 30, 2021, a total of $1.6 billion of those PPP loans have qualified for loan forgiveness and have been repaid by the SBA.

StimulusA series of stimulus payments to eligible consumers, enhanced unemployment benefits provided by the federal government and traditional, state-provided unemployment compensation, as well as other forms of relief provided to consumers and businesses, have helped to limit some of the adverse impacts of COVID-19.COVID-19 and, together with other factors, have contributed to significant growth in the Corporation’s customer deposit balances since the pandemic began. The reduction, expiration or discontinuation of these measures may adversely impact the recovery of economic activity and the ability of borrowers to meet their payment and other obligations to the Company,Corporation, either of which could require the CompanyCorporation to increase the ACL through provisions for credit losses. Further, if economic activity continues to recover, and consumer spending and business investment increase, customers may be less likely to maintain deposit balances with the Corporation at recent levels, which might require the Corporation to increase its reliance on alternative or higher-cost sources of funding.

The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’sCorporation’s financial results is evolving and uncertain. The CompanyCorporation has limited exposure to some of the industries that were initially most significantly impacted by COVID-19, such as hospitality and food services, energy and entertainment, and most of these loans are secured by real estate and other forms of collateral. While many areas of the economy begancontinue to exhibit signs of recovery, during the third quarter of 2020, the lingering effects of the pandemic, particularly in certain sectors of the economy, or a resurgence in COVID-19 infections that prompts the continuation or imposition of governmental restrictions on activities, may result in decreased demand for the Company’sCorporation’s loan products. In addition, the decline in economic activity occurring due to COVID-19 and the actions by the FOMC with respect to interest rates are likely to affect the Company’sCorporation’s net interest income, non-interest income and credit-related losses for an uncertain period of time. As a result, the Company has taken steps to maintain liquidity and conserve capital during this period of uncertainty. The Company has been holding excess cash reserves since the middle of March, has additional liquidity available through borrowing arrangements and other sources and has suspended its share repurchase program until there is more clarity surrounding the economic conditions. See additional discussion in "Results of Operations" and "Financial Condition" of Management's Discussion.

Adoption of CECL

The Corporation adopted CECL effective January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, and OBS credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under CECL, while prior period results are reported in accordance with the previously applicable incurred loss methodology. The Corporation recorded an increase of $58.3 million to the ACL on January 1, 2020 primarily as a result of the adoption of CECL. Retained earnings decreased $43.8 million and deferred tax assets increased by $12.4 million on January 1, 2020, representing the cumulative effect of adoption.Financial Highlights

The increase in dilutednet income during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily a result of a negative provision for credit losses, an increase in net interest income and lower non-interest expenses, partially offset by lower non-interest income, net investment securities gains, higher income taxes and the preferred stock dividend as discussed below.

Net income available to common shareholders was $132.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a $67.3 million increase compared to $65.6 million for the same period of 2020.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 includes a summary of critical accounting policies that the Corporation considers to be most important to the presentation of its financial condition and results of operations, because they require management’s most difficult judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

The following discussion addresses the critical accounting policies related to the application of CECL, which was adopted on January 1, 2020.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Corporation adopted new accounting guidance for estimating credit losses, known as CECL, in the first quarter of 2020. In accordance with CECL, the ACL, which includes both the ACL - loans and the ACL - OBS credit exposures, is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve for CECL over the remaining expected life of the portfolio. Management's determination of the appropriateness of the reserve is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio, lending-related commitments, current as well as forecasted economic factors and other relevant factors.

In determining the ACL, the Corporation uses three independent components. These components are PD, which measures the likelihood that a borrower will be unable to meet its debt obligations, LGD, which measures the share of an asset that is lost if a borrower defaults, and EAD which measures the gross exposure under a facility upon default. The PD models were developed based on historical default data. Both internal variables and external variables are evaluated in the process. The main internal variables are risk rating (commercial loans) or delinquency history (consumer loans) and the external variables are economic variables obtained from external forecasts. Management applies risk rating transition matrices to pools of loans and lending-related commitments with similar risk characteristics to determine default probabilities, calibrates using economic forecasts, applies modeled LGD results to associated EAD and incorporates modeled overlays and qualitative adjustments to estimate ACL. As such, the calculation of ACL is inherently subjective and requires management to exercise significant judgment.

The ACL is estimated over a reasonable and supportable forecast period based on the projected performance of specific economic variables that statistically correlate with PD rates. As economic variables revert to long-term averages through the forecast process, externally developed long-term economic forecasts are used to establish the impacts of the economic scenario, reversion, and long-term averages in the development of losses over the expected life of the assets being modeled. The CECL estimate is highly sensitive to the economic forecasts used to develop the estimate. Due to the high level of uncertainty regarding significant assumptions, such as the ultimate impact of COVID-19 and effectiveness of the related government response, since the beginning of 2020 the Corporation has evaluated a range of economic scenarios, including more and less severe economic deteriorations, with varying speeds of recovery.

The ACL includes qualitative adjustments, as appropriate, intended to capture the impact of uncertainties not reflected in the quantitative models. Qualitative adjustments include and consider changes in international, national, regional and local economic and business conditions, an assessment of the lending environment, including underwriting standards and other factors affecting credit quality. Qualitative adjustments have increased compared to those at the time of adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020 primarily as a result of uncertainties related to forecasted economic variables due to the economic impact of COVID-19 and the future performance of loans that received deferrals or forbearances due to COVID-19.

For further discussion of the methodology used in the determination of the ACL, refer to Note 1, "Basis of Presentation" to the Consolidated Financial Statements. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provision for credit losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.

Note: Changes which are partially attributable to both volume and rate are allocated to the volume and rate components presented above based on the percentage of direct changes that are attributable to each component.

The general level of interest rates has remained at or near historic lows since March 2020 as a result of the FOMC decreasedreducing the Fed Funds Rate by 25 bp in each of August, Septemberto near zero and October of 2019. In March 2020, the FOMC decreased the Fed Funds Rate by a total of 150 bptaking other monetary policy actions in response to COVID-19. These changes in the Fed Funds Rate resulted in corresponding decreases to the index rates for the Corporation's variable and adjustable rate loans, primarily the prime rate and LIBOR as well as for certain interest-bearing liabilities.

As summarized in the preceding table, the 11235 bp decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets drove a $57.6$14.2 million decrease in FTE interest income butthat was partially offset by the impact of a $3.4$2.0 billion, or 17.4%9.2%, increase in average interest-earning assets, primarily PPP loans, which contributed $28.1$10.1 million to FTE interest income. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased 11720 bp, or 25.7%5.7%, from the thirdsecond quarter of 2019,2020, as all variable and certain adjustable rate loans repriced to lower rates, and yields on new loan originations generally were lower than the average yield on the loan portfolio. Adjustable rate loans reprice on dates specified in the loan agreements, which may be later than the date the Fed Funds Rate and related loan index rates increase or decrease. As such,a result, the impact of changes in index rates, primarily the prime rate and LIBOR, on adjustable rate loans may not be fully realized until future periods.

Interest expense decreased $22.1$13.7 million primarily due to the 6736 bp decrease in the rate on average interest-bearing liabilities. The rates on average interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits decreased 6811 bp and 7116 bp, respectively, which contributed $8.8$1.6 million and $10.0$2.4 million to the decrease in interest expense, respectively. Brokered deposit rates The cost of average time depositsdecreased 18462 bp and the average balance of time deposits decreased $621.4 million, which contributed $1.3$3.5 million and $2.3 million to the decrease in interest expense. expense, respectively.In addition, the 154 bp$734.6 million decrease in the rates on short-term borrowings contributed $2.7 million to the decrease in interest expense. The $452.8 million increase in average long-term borrowings contributed $3.6resulted in a $6.6 million of additionaldecrease in interest expense, partially offset by the 90 bp increase in the average rate on long-term borrowings, which contributed $2.5 million of additional interest expense. As discussed in the "Overview" section of Management's Discussion, the Corporation completed a $768,000balance sheet restructuring in March of 2021, which included the prepayment of $535.0 million of FHLB advances and the cash tender offer for $75.0 million and $60.0 million of subordinated debt and senior notes, respectively.

(2) Consists of overdrafts and net origination fees and costs.

Average loans increased $574.8 million, or 3.1%, compared to the same period of 2020. The increase was driven largely by growth in the commercial and residential mortgage and construction portfolios, partially offset by decreases in the commercial and industrial and home equity portfolios. The decrease in additionalthe commercial and industrial portfolio was the net result of the forgiveness of $639.0 million of loans originated under the PPP and the origination of $60.0 million of new PPP loans, as well as reduced utilization of lines of credit.

This decrease in the average rate.cost of deposits contributed $7.6 million to the reduction of interest expense. Average total deposits increased $2.5 billion, or 12.9%, primarily driven by increases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand and saving accounts, partially offset by a $621.4 million, or 23.7%, decrease in time deposits.

Average total short-term borrowings decreased $193.7 million, or 27.4%, in the second quarter of 2021, compared to the same period of 2020, primarily as a result of excess funding provided by higher deposit balances.

Average total long-term borrowings decreased $734.6 million, or 54.0%, in the second quarter of 2021, compared to the same period of 2020, primarily as a result of the balance sheet restructuring completed in March of 2021, which included the prepayment of $536.0 million of long-term FHLB advances and the cash tender offer for $75.0 million and $60.0 million of the Corporation's outstanding subordinated and senior notes, respectively. This reduction in long-term borrowings contributed $6.6 million to the reduction of interest expense during the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period a year ago.

The provision for credit losses was a negative $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $23.1 million from the same period of 2020. Several factors as of the end of the second quarter of 2021 in comparison to the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, including improved economic forecasts, reduced the level of the ACL determined to be necessary at the end of the second quarter of 2021, resulting in the negative provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2021. The $19.6 million provision expense for credit losses in the second quarter of 2020 was the result of several factors, most notably, the overall uncertainty in economic forecasts due to COVID-19.

The general level of interest rates has remained at or near historic lows since March 2020 as a result of the FOMC reducing the Fed Funds Rate to near zero and taking other monetary policy actions in response to COVID-19. As summarized in the preceding table, the 58 bp decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets drove a $53.4 million decrease in FTE interest income that was partially offset by the impact of a $2.9 billion, or 13.7%, increase in average interest-earning assets which contributed $34.6 million to FTE interest income.The yield on the loan portfolio decreased 44 bp, or 11.3%, from the same period of 2020, as variable and certain adjustable rate loans repriced to lower rates and yields on new loan originations generally were lower than the average yield on the loan portfolio. Adjustable rate loans reprice on dates specified in the loan agreements, which may be later than the date the Fed Funds Rate and related loan index rates increase or decrease. As a result, the impact of changes in index rates, primarily the prime rate and LIBOR, on adjustable rate loans may not be fully realized until future periods.

Interest expense decreased $31.8 million primarily due to the 43 bp decrease in the rate on average interest-bearing liabilities.The rates on average interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits decreased 26 bp and 31 bp, respectively, which contributed $7.3 million and $9.1 million to the decrease in interest expense, respectively. The cost of average time depositsdecreased 60 bp and the average balance of time deposits decreased $616.5 million, which contributed $7.0 million and $4.7 million to the decrease in interest expense, respectively.In addition, the $463.2 million decrease in average short-term borrowings and the $265.1 million decrease in average long-term borrowings resulted in $4.3 million and $1.6 million decreases in interest expense, respectively. As discussed in the "Overview" section of Management's Discussion, the Corporation completed a balance sheet restructuring in March of 2021, which included the prepayment of $535.0 million of FHLB advances and the cash tender offer for $75.0 million and $60.0 million of subordinated debt and senior notes, respectively.

Average loans increased $1.3 billion, or 7.7%, compared to the same period of 2020. The increase was driven largely by growth in the commercial and residential mortgage portfolios, the commercial and industrial portfolio, as a result of loans originated under the PPP, and construction portfolio. Excluding loans originated under the PPP, commercial and industrial loan balances declined. The increases were partially offset by decreases in the home equity, equipment lease financing and consumer portfolios as well as other loans.

This decrease in the average cost of deposits contributed $24.4 million to the reduction of interest expense. Average total deposits increased $3.2 billion, or 17.8%, primarily driven by increases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand and saving accounts, partially offset by a $616.5 million, or 22.9%, decrease in time deposits.

Cash and October of 2019. In March 2020, the FOMC decreased the Fed Funds Rate by a total of 150 bp in response to COVID-19. These changes in the Fed Funds Rate resulted in corresponding decreases to the index rates for the Corporation's variable and adjustable rate loans, primarily the prime rate and LIBOR as well as for certain interest-bearing liabilities.Cash Equivalents

The 88 bp$56.2 million, or 3.0%, increase in cash and cash equivalents mainly resulted from additional cash maintained at the FRB due to the Corporation's excess liquidity position.

FRB and FHLB Stock

The $29.5 million, or 32.0%, decrease in FRB and FHLB stock was the result of a decrease in FHLB stock required due to the prepayment of long-term FHLB advances, as mentioned in the "Overview" section of Management's Discussion, and a decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets droveusage of FHLB letters of credit.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale decreased $42.0 million, or 50.0%, primarily as the result of the Corporation's decision to hold a $72.9 million decreasegreater proportion of the residential mortgage loans it originated in FTE interest income, but was partially offset by the impact of a $2.4 billion, or 12.5%, increase in average interest-earning assets, primarily loans, which contributed $8.6 million to FTE interest income. The yield on the loan portfolio, decreased 94 bp, or 20.2%, from the same period of 2019, as all variable and certain adjustable raterather than selling those loans repriced to lower rates, and yields on new loan originations generally were lower than the average yield on the loan portfolio. Adjustable rate loans reprice on dates specified in the loan agreements, which may be later than the date the Fed Funds Rate and related loan index rates increase or decrease. As such, the impact of changes in index rates on adjustable rate loans may not be fully realized until future periods.

Interest expense decreased $42.4 million primarily due to the 48 bp decrease in the rate on average interest-bearing liabilities. The rates on average interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits decreased 52 bp and 54 bp, respectively, which contributed $13.6 million and $18.1 million to the decrease in interest expense, respectively. In addition, the 105 bp decrease in the rates on short-term borrowings contributed $7.0 million to the decrease in interest expense.secondary market.

Average loans increased $1.7 billion, or 10.5%, compared to the same period of 2019. The increase was driven largely by growth in the commercial and industrial portfolio, which was primarily attributable to the origination of PPP loans in the second quarter of 2020. Excluding loans originated under the PPP, commercial and industrial loan balances declined as a result of the overall slowing of the economy. Commercial and residential mortgage loan portfolios, as well as the construction, consumer and equipment lease financing portfolios experienced growth, partially offset by decreases in the home equity loan portfolio.

Average total demand and savings accounts increased $2.6 billion, or 19.1%, driven by increases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits and saving accounts. The primary reason for the increases in average total demand and savings accounts were the result of the funding of various government stimulus programs, which largely remained in customer deposit accounts during the period as well as seasonal increases in municipal accounts.

The average cost of total deposits decreased 38 bp, to 0.41%, for the first nine months of 2020, compared to 0.79% for the same period of 2019, mainly as a result of reductions in deposit rates in response to the FOMC reductions to the Fed Funds Rate as well as deposit rate decreases implemented after the Fed Funds Rate cuts during the second half of 2019. The majority of deposit rates are discretionary, with the exception of indexed municipal balances. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased in all non-maturity deposit categories.

Average total short-term borrowings decreased $20.4 million, or 2.3%, primarily as a result of a $59.7 million, or 40.8%, decrease in federal funds purchased partially offset by a $50.9 million increase in short-term FHLB advances and other borrowings. The average cost of short-term borrowings decreased 105 bp, mainly due to the net impact of changes in the Fed Funds Rate.

Average total long-term borrowings increased $275.1 million, or 28.5%, during the first nine months of 2020, compared to the same period of 2019, as a result of the issuance of $375.0 million of subordinated notes in March of 2020, partially offset by a decrease in average FHLB advances.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was $70.7 million for first nine months of 2020, an increase of $58.4 million from the same period of 2019. The increase was the result of several factors, most notably, the overall uncertainty in economic forecasts due to COVID-19.

Wealth management revenues increased $2.1 million, or 5.2%, resulting primarily from growth in brokerage income due to an increase in client asset levels and improved overall market performance.

Total commercial banking income increased $422,000, or 0.8%, compared to the same period in 2019, driven by increases in capital markets revenues, primarily commercial loan interest rate swap income, partially offset by decreases in other commercial banking income, primarily other services charges on deposits and Small Business Administration income, and merchant and card income as a result of COVID-19.

Total consumer banking income decreased $6.3 million, or 16.9%, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by lower overdraft fees activity.

Mortgage banking income increased $15.0 million, or 83.1%, driven by an increase in gains on sales of mortgage loans, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage servicing income. The increase in gains on sales of mortgage loans reflected increases in both the volume of loans sold and higher spreads on sales. The decrease in mortgage servicing income was driven by a $9.2 million increase to the valuation allowance for MSRs.

Other income increased $3.3 million, or 49.7%, as a result of additional investments made in bank owned life insurance in 2019 and gains on sales of certain properties.

Investment securities gains, net were $3.0 million as the result of a limited balance sheet restructuring that included the sale of investment securities, with an amortized cost of $79.0 million and an estimated fair value of $82.0 million that the Corporation completed during the second quarter of 2020. Offsetting these gains were $2.9 million of prepayment penalties recorded in non-interest expense for the redemption of FHLB advances.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Corporation completed a balance sheet restructuring involving the sale of approximately $400 million of investment securities and a corresponding prepayment of FHLB advances. As a result of these transactions, $4.5 million of investment securities gains were realized during the third quarter of 2019. Offsetting these gains were $4.3 million of prepayment penalties recorded in non-interest expense for the redemption of FHLB advances.

The $5.5 million, or 2.3%, increase in salaries and benefits reflects the net impact of changes in various items, including increases in salaries expense (due to normal merit increases) overtime expense, incentive compensation, health insurance expense and commissions (primarily mortgage banking). These increases were partially offset by higher deferrals of direct origination costs as a result of higher loan origination volumes and lower defined benefit plan expense.

Data processing and software increased $2.9 million, or 8.8%, reflecting higher transaction volumes and costs related to technology initiatives.

Other outside services decreased $8.7 million, or 27.3%, as the 2019 period included $6.6 million of expense associated with Charter Consolidation. Marketing expense also declined $4.3 million, or 51.7%, due to higher marketing expense associated with the Charter Consolidation in 2019.

State taxes increased $1.6 million, or 22.5%, primarily driven by an increase in Pennsylvania Bank Shares and Virginia franchise tax expenses, both due to growth in total assets and equity.

FDIC insurance increased $916,000, or 16.3%, compared to the same period in 2019, which included the recognition of assessment credits in the third quarter.

The Corporation redeemed certain long-term FHLB advances in the second quarter of 2020, which resulted in prepayment penalties of $2.9 million compared to 2019, which included approximately $4.3 million of penalties related to the prepayment of certain FHLB advances in conjunction with the balance sheet restructuring that was completed in the third quarter of 2019.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $18.8 million, an $11.6 million decrease from $30.4 million for the same period in 2019. The Corporation’s ETR was 12.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 14.5% in the same period of 2019. The decrease in income tax expense and the ETR primarily resulted from a
63


decrease in income before taxes. The ETR is generally lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% due to tax-exempt interest income earned on loans, investments in tax-free municipal securities and investments in community development projects that generate tax credits under various federal programs.

Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale increased $55.8 million, or 147.5%, primarily as the result of an increase in the volume of residential mortgage originations due to higher refinancing activity.

The Company has adopted a disaster relief and assistance program and has provided assistance through payment deferrals and forbearances to consumer, small business and commercial customers that have been impacted by COVID-19.

The ability to identify potential problem loans in a timely manner is important to maintaining an adequate ACL. For commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans to commercial borrowers, an internal risk rating process is used to monitor credit quality. The evaluation of credit risk for residential mortgages, home equity loans, construction loans to individuals and consumer loans is based on payment history, through the monitoring of delinquency levels and trends. For a description of the Corporation's risk ratings, see Note 4, "Allowance"Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses, and Asset Quality," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total internally risk-rated loans were $13.9$13.1 billion, of which $796.4 million$1.1 billion were criticized and classified, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, and $12.0$13.7 billion, of which $662.6$961.1 million were criticized and classified, as of December 31, 2019.2020.

The provision for credit losses, specific to loans, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 was negative $4.0 million and negative $9.4 million, respectively, compared to a provision expense of $22.2 million and $62.4 million, respectively, recorded in the same periods of 2020. Several factors during the first six months of 2021 in comparison to the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, including improved economic forecasts, reduced the level of the ACL determined to be necessary at the end of both the first and second quarters of 2021. The higher provision during the first six months of 2020 was $7.9 million and $70.4 million, respectively. Prior periods did not incorporate "life of loan"largely driven by the overall downturn in economic forecasts due to COVID-19, resulting in higher expected future credit losses under CECL and applied an incurred loss model, which would not have considered economic forecasts or forward-looking consideration over the remaining expectedCECL.

Other Assets

Other assets increased $273.1 million, or 29.8%, primarily due to higher fair values of derivative contracts for commercial loan interest rate swaps, an increase in the net deferred tax asset as the result of the adoption of CECL and a reclassification from accrued federal income tax, partially offset by the increase to the valuation allowance for MSRs.

Regulatory Capital

The Corporation and its subsidiary bank, Fulton Bank, are subject to regulatory capital requirements ("Capital Rules") administered by banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could result in certain actions by regulators that could have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.




71


The Capital Rules require the Corporation and Fulton Bank to:

Meet a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.50% of risk-weighted assets and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.00% of risk-weighted assets;

Continue to requireMeet a minimum Tier 1 Leverage capital ratio of 4.00% of average assets;

Meet a minimum Total capital ratio of 8.00% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.00%6.00% of averagerisk-weighted assets; and

Maintain a "capital conservation buffer" of 2.50% above the minimum risk-based capital requirements, which must be maintained to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments; and
Comply with a revised definition of capital to improve the ability of regulatory capital instruments to absorb losses. Certain non-qualifying capital instruments, including cumulative preferred stock and TruPS, have been phased outare excluded as a component of Tier 1 capital for institutions of the Corporation's size.
69


The Corporation and Fulton Bank are also required to maintain a "capital conservation buffer" of 2.50% above the minimum risk-based capital requirements, which must be maintained to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments.

The Capital Rules use a standardized approach for risk weightings that expands the risk-weightings for assets and off-balance sheet exposures from the previous 0%, 20%, 50% and 100% categories to a much larger and more risk-sensitive number of categories, depending on the nature of the assets and off-balance sheet exposures and resulting in higher risk weightings for a variety of asset categories.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Corporation's capital levels met the fully phased-in minimum capital requirements, including the new capital conservation buffers, as prescribed in the Capital Rules.

In March 2020, the banking regulators amended the optional CECL Transition Rule to allow banks to add back to regulatory capital the decrease recorded to retained earnings at the CECL adoption date, or January 1, 2020 for the Corporation, plus 25% of additions to the ACL over the next two years. These amounts will then be phased in as reductions to regulatory capital over the following three years, or 2022 - 2024. Prior to this amendment, the regulatory capital impact of adopting CECL was to be phased in over a 3-year period beginning in 2020. The Corporation has elected to apply the amended rule to the regulatory capital treatment for the adoption of CECL.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, Fulton Bank met the well capitalized requirements under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, Common Equity Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the regulation. In October 2020, the Corporation issued 8,000,000 depositary shares of Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, and received net proceeds from the offering of $193.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and before deducting transaction expenses payable by the Corporation. See Note 15, "Subsequent Event," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. Preferred stock is included in both Tier 1 and Tier 2 regulatory capital, and would have the effect of increasing the Total Capital, Tier 1 Capital and Tier I Leverage Capital ratios by approximately 1.00%. There were no other conditions or events since SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 that management believes have changed the Corporation's capital categories.

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s capital ratios in comparison to regulatory requirements:

The increase in the total capital ratio from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 was mainly due to the issuance of $375.0 million of subordinated notes, which is a component of Tier 2 Capital, in March 2020, as discussed in the "Overview" of Management's Discussion, partially offset by common stock repurchases during the quarter. The decrease in the Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio was mainly due to growth in average assets.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to economic loss that arises from changes in the values of certain financial instruments. The types of market risk exposures generally faced by financial institutions include interest rate risk, equity market price risk, debt security market price risk, foreign currency price risk and commodity price risk. Due to the nature of its operations, foreign currency price risk and commodity price risk are not significant to the Corporation.

Interest Rate Risk, Asset/Liability Management and Liquidity

Interest rate risk creates exposure in two primary areas. First, changes in rates have an impact on the Corporation’s liquidity position and could affect its ability to meet obligations and continue to grow. Second, movements in interest rates can create fluctuations in the Corporation’s net interest income and changes in the economic value of its equity.

The Corporation employs various management techniques to minimize its exposure to interest rate risk. An ALCO is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity and liquidity positions of the Corporation, approving asset and liability management policies, and overseeing the formulation and implementation of strategies regarding balance sheet positions.

The Corporation uses two complementary methods to measure and manage interest rate risk. They are simulation of net interest income and estimates of economic value of equity. Using these measurements in tandem provides a reasonably comprehensive summary of the magnitude of the Corporation's interest rate risk, level of risk as time evolves, and exposure to changes in interest rates.

Simulation of net interest income is performed for the next 12-month period. A variety of interest rate scenarios are used to measure the effects of sudden and gradual movements upward and downward in the yield curve. These results are compared to the results obtained in a flat or unchanged interest rate scenario. Simulation of net interest income is used primarily to measure the Corporation’s short-term earnings exposure to rate movements. The Corporation’s policy limits the potential exposure of net interest income, in a non-parallel instantaneous shock, to 10% of the base case net interest income for a 100 bp shock in interest rates, 15% for a 200 bp shock, and 20% for a 300 bp shock and 25% for a 400 bp shock. A "shock" is an immediate upward or downward movement of interest rates. The shocks do not take into account changes in customer behavior that could result in changes to mix and/or volumes in the balance sheet, nor does it take into account the potential effects of competition on the pricing of deposits and loans over the forward 12-month period.
70


Contractual maturities and repricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the simulation model as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data and call options within the investment portfolio. Assumptions based on past experience are incorporated into the model for non-maturity deposit accounts. The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model's simulated results due to timing, amount and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies.

The following table summarizes the expected impact of abrupt interest rate changes, that is, a non-parallel instantaneous shock, on net interest income as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 (due to the current level of interest rates, the downward shock scenarios are not shown):
Rate Shock(1)
Annual change
in net interest income
% change in net interest income
+400 bp+ $116.3$186.1 million18.7%30.4%
+300 bp$87.5$139.5 million14.1%22.7%
+200 bp+ $58.0$92.4 million9.3%15.1%
+100 bp+ $27.3$44.6 million4.4%7.3%

(1)These results include the effect of implicit and explicit interest rate floors that limit further reduction in interest rates.

Economic value of equity estimates the discounted present value of asset and liability cash flows. Discount rates are based upon market prices for like assets and liabilities. Abrupt changes or "shocks" in interest rates, both upward and downward, are used to determine the comparative effect of such interest rate movements relative to the unchanged environment. This measurement tool is used primarily to evaluate the longer-term repricing risks and options in the Corporation’s balance sheet. The
73


Corporation's policy limits the economic value of equity that may be at risk, in a non-parallel instantaneous shock, to 10% of the base case economic value of equity for a 100 bp shock in interest rates, 20% for a 200 bp shock and 30% for a 300 bp shock. As of September 30, 2020, the Corporation was within economic value of equity policy limits for every 100 bp shock.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Corporation enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Corporation simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate. These interest rate swaps are derivative financial instruments and the gross fair values are recorded in other assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value during the period recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Corporation’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to reduce volatility in net interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Corporation primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. During the first quarter of 2021, the Corporation entered into interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing floating rate loans. These hedge contracts involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Corporation making floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Liquidity

The Corporation must maintain a sufficient level of liquid assets to meet the cash needs of its customers, who, as depositors, may want to withdraw funds or who, as borrowers, need credit availability. Liquidity is provided on a continuous basis through scheduled and unscheduled principal and interest payments on investments and outstanding loans and through the availability of deposits and borrowings. The Corporation also maintains secondary sources that provide liquidity on a secured and unsecured basis to meet short-term and long-term needs.

The Corporation maintains liquidity sources in the form of demandinterest-bearing deposits and savings deposits, brokered deposits, time deposits, repurchasecustomer funding (repurchase agreements and short-term promissory notes.notes). The Corporation can access additional liquidity from these sources, if necessary, by increasing the rates of interest paid on those accounts and borrowings.instruments. The positive impact to liquidity resulting from paying higher interest rates could have a detrimental impact on the net interest margin and net interest income if rates on interest-earning assets do not experience a proportionate increase. Borrowing availability with the FHLB and the FRB, along with federal funds lines at various correspondent banks, provides the Corporation with additional liquidity.

Fulton Bank is a member of the FHLB and has access to FHLB overnight and term credit facilities. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Corporation had $539.0$3.0 million of borrowings outstanding from the FHLB with an additional borrowing capacity of approximately $3.8 $5.4billion under these facilities. Advances from the FHLB are secured by qualifying commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans, investments and other assets.
71


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Corporation had aggregate federal funds lines of $1.8$2.1 billion, with no outstanding borrowings. A combination of commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and securities are pledged to the Federal Reserve BankFRB of Philadelphia to provide access to Federal Reserve BankFRB Discount Window borrowings. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Corporation had $373$799.2 million of collateralized borrowing availability at the Discount Window, and no outstanding borrowings.

Liquidity must also be managed at the Corporation parent company level. For safety and soundness reasons, banking regulations limit the amount of cash that can be transferred from a subsidiary bank to the parent company in the form of loans and dividends. Generally, these limitations are based on the subsidiary bank's regulatory capital levels and its net income. Management continues to monitor the liquidity and capital needs of the parent company and will implement appropriate strategies, as necessary, to remain sufficiently capitalized and to meet its cash needs.

The Corporation’s sources and uses of funds were discussed in general terms in the "Net Interest Income" section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The consolidated statements of cash flows provide additional information. The Corporation’s operating activities during the first ninesix months of 20202021 provided $29.5$233.6 million of cash, mainly due to net income of $127.2$138.0 million, partially offsetand by the net impact of other operating activities. Cash used in investing activities was $2.4 billion,$217.3 million, mainly due to net increases in loans and investments.investments, partially offset by net decreases in loans. Cash provided by financing activities was $3.4 billion$39.9 million due mainly to increases in demand and savings deposits.deposits, partially offset by the repayments of long-term borrowings and decreases in time deposits and short-term borrowings.

Debt Security Market Price Risk

Debt security market price risk is the risk that changes in the values of debt securities, unrelated to interest rate changes, could have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation. The Corporation’s debt security investments consist primarily of U.S. government sponsored agency issued residential mortgage-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, state and municipal securities, U.S. government debt securities, auction rate securities and corporate debt securities. All of the Corporation's investments in residential mortgage-backed securitiesand commercial mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations have principal payments that are guaranteed by U.S. government sponsored agencies.
74


State and Municipal Securities

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Corporation owned securities issued by various states orand municipalities with a total cost basis of $880.5 million and a fair value of $926.6 million. Downward pressure$1.1 billion. Uncertainty with respect to the financial strength of state and municipal bond insurers places emphasis on the underlying strength of issuers. Pressure on local tax revenues of issuers due to adverse economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the underlying credit quality of issuers. The Corporation evaluates existing and potential holdings primarily based on the underlying creditworthiness of the issuing state or municipality and then, to a lesser extent, on any underlying credit enhancement. State orand municipal securities can be supported by the general obligation of the issuing state or municipality, allowing the securities to be repaid by any means available to the issuing state or municipality.As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020, approximately2021, substantially all of state and municipal securities were supported by the general obligation of corresponding states or municipalities. Approximately 64%65% of these securities were school district issuances, which are also supported by the states of the issuing municipalities.

Corporate DebtAuction Rate Securities

The Corporation holds corporate debt securities in the form of subordinated debt and senior debt issued by financial institutions. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020, these securities2021, the Corporation’s investments in ARCs had an amortizeda cost basis of $327.1$76.4 million and an estimated fair value of $342.6$74.8 million. During the second quarter of 2020, the Corporation sold corporate debt securities with an amortized cost of $66.8 million and an estimated fair value of $66.9 million.
See "Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion related to theThe fair values of the ARCs currently in the portfolio were derived using significant unobservable inputs based on an expected cash flows model which produced fair values that may not represent those that could be expected from settlement of these investments in the current market. The expected cash flows model produced fair values which assumed a return to market liquidity sometime within the next five years. The Corporation believes that the trusts underlying the ARCs will self-liquidate as student loans are repaid.

The credit quality of the underlying debt securities.associated with the ARCs is also a factor in the determination of their estimated fair value. As of June 30, 2021, all of the ARCs were rated above investment grade. All of the loans underlying the ARCs have principal payments which are guaranteed by the federal government. At June 30, 2021, all of the Corporation's ARCs were current and making scheduled interest payments.
