Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (“BancShares”) is a financial holding company organized under the laws of Delaware and conducts operations through its banking subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“FCB”), which is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina.
General
These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in BancShares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.
Reclassifications
In certain instances, amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders’ equity or net income.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates BancShares considers significant are the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”), fair value measurements, and income taxes.

Overseen by the United States (“U.S.”) Department of the Treasury, Department, the SBA-PPP offers cash-flow assistance to nonprofit and small business employers through guaranteed loans for expenses incurred between February 15, 2020, and August 8, 2020.certain expenses. Borrowers are eligible for forgiveness of principal and accrued interest on SBA-PPP loans to the extent that the proceeds were used to cover eligible payroll costs, interest costs, rent, and utility costs over a period of between eight and 24-weeks after the loan is made as long as the borrower retains its employees and their compensation levels. The CARES Act authorized the SBAUnited States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee these loans. The SBA began processing forgiveness payments during the fourth quarter of 2020.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 was signed into law during the fourth quarter of 2020 and contained provisions for a second round of funding of SBA-PPP loans and during the first nine months of 2021, BancShares originated approximately 12,000 SBA-PPP loans totaling approximately $1.2 billion.
Due to the unique nature of these provisions, SBA-PPP loans have been disclosed as a separate loan class. Origination fees received from the SBA are capitalized into the carrying amount of the loans. The deferred fee income, net of origination costs, is recognized over the life of the loanloans as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. As of September 30, 2020,2021, SBA-PPP loans outstanding of $3.11 billion have generated $28.9 million and $47.9 million of interest income during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Remaining unamortized deferred fees and costs on SBA-PPP loans are $76.0 million as of September 30, 2020.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13 - Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by eliminating the requirements to disclose (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels and (3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU also added specific disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for public business entities including the requirement to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.
BancShares adopted this ASU during the first quarter of 2020 and have made all applicable updates to the disclosure within the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
FASB ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This ASU eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative test.
BancShares adopted this ASU during the first quarter 2020 with no impact to our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations as a result of the adoption. There was 0 impairment recorded as a result of our annual assessment during the third quarter of 2020.
FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
This ASU (and all subsequent ASUs on this topic) introduce the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, a new credit loss methodology, replacing multiple existing impairment methods in current GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The amendments in this ASU require loss estimates be determined over the lifetime of the asset and broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit losses. The ASU does not specify a method for measuring expected credit losses and allows an entity to apply methods that reasonably reflect its expectations of the credit loss estimate based on the entity's size, complexity and risk profile. In addition, the disclosures of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables, a current disclosure requirement, are further disaggregated by year of origination.were $1.1 billion.

Table of Contents
BancShares adopted this ASU (and all subsequent ASUs on this topic) as of January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach for all loans, leases, debt securities designated as held to maturity, and unfunded loan commitments. BancShares adopted the ASU using the prospective approach for debt securities available for sale and purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans previously accounted for under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) ASC 310-30. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. BancShares made changes to loan classifications and segmentation in order to align with ASC 326 requirements and facilitate CECL modeling. Using this updated segmentation, BancShares developed new loan level models to estimate the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) and facilitate revised disclosures.
The information presented below represents changes from Note A, Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation, included in BancShares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as well as information on the impact of adoption.
Accounting Policy - Debt Securities
BancShares classifies debt securities as held to maturity (“HTM”) or available for sale (“AFS”). Debt securities are classified as HTM when BancShares has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Other debt securities are classified as AFS and reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”). Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for debt securities are included in interest income. Realized gains and losses from the sale of debt securities are determined by specific identification on a trade date basis and are included in noninterest income.
BancShares performs pre-purchase due diligence and evaluates the credit risk of AFS and HTM debt securities purchased directly into our portfolio or via acquisition. If securities have evidence of more than insignificant credit deterioration since issuance, they are designated as purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”). PCD securities are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition which includes an associated allowance that is added to the purchase price or fair value to arrive at the Day 1 amortized cost basis. The difference between the purchase price and the Day 1 amortized cost is amortized or accreted to interest income over the contractual life of the securities using the effective interest method.
For AFS securities, management performs a quarterly analysis of the investment portfolio to evaluate securities currently in an unrealized loss position for potential credit-related impairment. If BancShares intends to sell a security, or does not have the intent and ability to hold a security before recovering the amortized cost, the entirety of the unrealized loss is immediately recorded in earnings. For the remaining securities, an analysis is performed to determine if any portion of the unrealized loss recorded relates to credit impairment. If credit related impairment exists, the amount is recorded through the ACL and related provision. This review includes indicators such as changes in credit rating, delinquency, bankruptcy or other significant news event impacting the issuer.
BancShares’ portfolio of HTM debt securities is made up of mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities. Given the historically strong credit rating of the U.S. Treasury and the long history of no credit losses on debt securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, we determined 0 expected credit losses on the HTM portfolio.
Accounting Policy - Loans and Leases
BancShares’ accounting methods for loans and leases depends on whether they are originated or purchased, and if purchased, whether or not the loans reflect more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination as of the date of acquisition.
Non-Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans
Non-Purchased Credit Deteriorated (“Non-PCD”) loans consist of loans originated by BancShares and loans purchased from other institutions that do not reflect more than insignificant credit deterioration at acquisition.
Originated loans for which management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future are classified as held for investment and carried at the principal amount outstanding net of any unearned income, charge-offs and unamortized fees and costs. Nonrefundable fees collected and certain direct costs incurred related to loan originations are deferred and recorded as an adjustment to loans outstanding. The net amount of the nonrefundable fees and costs is amortized to interest income over the contractual lives using methods that approximate a constant yield.
Purchased loans which do not reflect more than insignificant credit deterioration at acquisition are classified as non-PCD loans. These loans are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition and an initial allowance is recorded on these assets as provision expense at the date of acquisition. The difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance at the acquisition date is amortized or accreted to interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method.

Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans
Purchased loans which reflect a more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination as of the date of acquisition are classified as PCD and are recorded at acquisition-date amortized cost, which is the purchase price or fair value in a business combination, plus our initial estimate of expected credit losses. The difference between the unpaid principal balance and the acquisition date amortized cost is amortized or accreted to interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method.
The performance of all loans within the BancShares portfolio is subject to a number of external risks, including but not limited to changes in the overall health of the economy, declines in real estate or other collateral values, changes in the demand for products and services and personal events, such as death, disability or change in marital status. BancShares evaluates and reports its non-PCD and PCD loan portfolios separately, and each non-PCD portfolio is further divided into commercial and consumer segments based on the type of borrower, purpose, collateral and/or our underlying credit management processes. Additionally, non-PCD commercial and consumer loans are assigned to loan classes, which further disaggregate the loan portfolio. PCD loans are reported as a single loan segment and class.
Upon adoption of ASC 326, owner occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate were segregated into separate classes within the commercial segment. Similarly, consumer auto was segregated into its own class within the consumer segment. These enhancements were made to capture the unique credit characteristics used in our CECL models. Information for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented in accordance with ASC 326 and reflect changes to the respective classes, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP and have not been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.
The following represent our classes of loans as of January 1, 2020 upon adoption of ASC 326 (with the exception of SBA-PPP, which was added during second quarter 2020):
Commercial loans and leases
Construction and land development - Construction and land development consists of loans to finance land for development of commercial or residential real property and construction of multifamily apartments or other commercial properties. These loans are highly dependent on the supply and demand for commercial real estate as well as the demand for newly constructed residential homes and lots acquired for development. Deterioration in demand could result in decreased collateral values, which could make repayments of outstanding loans difficult for customers.
Owner occupied commercial mortgage - Owner occupied commercial mortgages consists of loans to purchase or re-finance owner occupied nonresidential properties. This includes office buildings, other commercial facilities, and farmland. Commercial mortgages secured by owner occupied properties are primarily dependent on the ability of borrowers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at loan origination. While these loans and leases are collateralized by real property in an effort to mitigate risk, it is possible the liquidation of collateral will not fully satisfy the obligation.
Non-owner occupied commercial mortgage - Non-owner occupied commercial mortgage consists of loans to purchase or refinance investment nonresidential properties. This includes office buildings and other facilities rented or leased to unrelated parties, as well as farmland and multifamily properties. The primary risk associated with income producing commercial mortgage loans is the ability of the income-producing property that collateralizes the loan to produce adequate cash flow to service the debt. While these loans and leases are collateralized by real property in an effort to mitigate risk, it is possible the liquidation of collateral will not fully satisfy the obligation.
Commercial and industrial and leases - Commercial and industrial loans consist of loans or lines of credit to finance accounts receivable, inventory or other general business needs, business credit cards, and lease financing agreements for equipment, vehicles, or other assets. The primary risk associated with commercial and industrial and lease financing loans is the ability of borrowers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at origination. Failure to achieve these projections presents risk the borrower will be unable to service the debt consistent with the contractual terms of the loan or lease.
SBA-PPP - These loans were originated as part of the SBA-PPP to finance payroll and other costs for nonprofit and small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. These loans are guaranteed by the SBA and borrowers have the ability to qualify for loan forgiveness through the U.S. Treasury.
Consumer loans
Residential mortgage - Residential mortgage consists of loans to purchase or refinance the borrower’s primary dwelling, secondary residence or vacation home and are often secured by 1-4 family residential property. Significant and rapid declines in real estate values can result in borrowers having debt levels in excess of the current market value of the collateral.
11

Table of Contents
Revolving mortgage - Revolving mortgage consists of home equity lines of credit and other lines of credit secured by first or second liens on the borrower’s primary residence. These loans are secured by both senior and junior liens on the residential real estate and are particularly susceptible to declining collateral values. This risk is elevated for loans secured by junior lines as a substantial decline in value could render the junior lien position effectively unsecured.
Construction and land development - Construction and land development consists of loans to construct a borrower’s primary or secondary residence or vacant land upon which the owner intends to construct a dwelling at a future date. These loans are typically secured by undeveloped or partially developed land in anticipation of completing construction of a 1-4 family residential property. There is risk these construction and development projects can experience delays and cost overruns exceeding the borrower’s financial ability to complete the project. Such cost overruns can result in foreclosure of partially completed and unmarketable collateral.
Consumer auto loans - Consumer auto loans consist of installment loans to finance purchases of vehicles. These loans include direct auto loans originated in bank branches, as well indirect auto loans originated through agreements with auto dealerships. The value of the underlying collateral within this class is at risk of potential rapid depreciation which could result in unpaid balances in excess of the collateral.
Other consumer - Other consumer loans consist of loans to finance unsecured home improvements, student loans and revolving lines of credit that can be secured or unsecured, including personal credit cards. The value of the underlying collateral within this class is at risk of potential rapid depreciation which could result in unpaid balances in excess of the collateral.
Accounting Policy - Nonperforming Assets and Troubled Debt Restructurings
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) include nonaccrual loans, past due securities and foreclosed property. Foreclosed property consists of real estate and other assets acquired as a result of loan defaults and is discussed below.
All loans are classified as past due when the payment of principal and interest based upon contractual terms is greater than 30 days delinquent. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due or when it is probable the principal or interest is not fully collectible. When loans are placed on nonaccrual, all previously uncollected accrued interest is reversed from interest income and the ongoing accrual of interest is discontinued. All payments received thereafter are applied as a reduction of the remaining principal balance as long as doubt exists as to the ultimate collection of the principal. Loans and leases are generally removed from nonaccrual status when they become current for a sustained period of time and there is no longer concern as to the collectability of principal and interest.
Securities are also classified as past due when the payment of principal and interest based upon contractual terms is greater than 30 days delinquent. Missed interest payments on securities are rare. We review all securities with delinquent interest and immediately charge off any accrued interest determined to be uncollectible.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when both of the following occur: (1) a modification to a borrower’s debt agreement is made and (2) a concession is granted for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties that otherwise would not be granted. TDR concessions could include short-term deferrals of interest, modifications of payment terms, or (in certain limited instances) forgiveness of principal or interest. Loans restructured as a TDR are treated and reported as such for the remaining life of the loan. TDR loans can be nonaccrual or accrual, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. In circumstances where a portion of the loan balance is charged-off, the remaining balance is typically classified as nonaccrual.
Accounting Policy - Allowance for Credit Losses
Loans
Loans within the various reporting classes are segregated into pools with similar risk characteristics and models are built to estimate the ACL. These loan level ACL models estimate the probability of default and loss given default for individual loans within the risk pool based on historical loss experience, borrower characteristics, collateral type, forecasts of relevant economic conditions, expected future recoveries and other factors. Pools for estimating the ACL are aggregated into loan classes, as described above, which roll up into commercial and consumer loan segments. Non-PCD and PCD loans are modeled together within the loan level models using acquired and PCD indicator variables to provide differentiation of individual loan risk. BancShares uses a two year reasonable and supportable forecast period which incorporates economic forecasts at the time of evaluation. For most pools, BancShares uses a 12-month straight-line reversion period to historical averages for model inputs; however for the consumer other, consumer card and commercial card pools, immediate reversion to historical net loss rates is utilized.

Table of Contents
The ACL for SBA-PPP loans originated during 2020 are separately evaluated given the explicit government guarantee. This analysis, which incorporated historical experience with similar SBA guarantees and underwriting, concluded the likelihood of loss was remote and therefore these loans were assigned a 0 expected credit loss in the ACL.
The ACL represents management’s best estimate of credit losses expected over the life of the loan, adjusted for expected contractual payments and the impact of prepayment expectations. Prepayment assumptions were developed through a review of BancShares’ historical prepayment activity and began with a review of prepayment assumptions utilized in other modeling activities. Estimates for loan losses are determined by analyzing quantitative and qualitative components present as of the evaluation date. Adjustments to the ACL are recorded with a corresponding entry to provision for credit losses. Loan balances considered uncollectible are charged-off against the ACL. Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the ACL.
A primary component of determining the ACL on loans is the actual net loss history of the various loan pools. For commercial pools, key factors utilized in the models include delinquency trends as well as macroeconomic variables such as unemployment and commercial real estate price index. For consumer pools, key factors include delinquency trends and the borrower’s original credit score, as well as other macroeconomic variables such as unemployment, gross domestic product, home price index, and commercial real estate index. As the models project losses over the life of the loans, prepayment assumptions also serve as significant inputs. Model outputs may be adjusted through a qualitative assessment to reflect economic conditions and trends not captured within the models including credit quality, concentrations, and significant policy and underwriting changes.
Within our ACL model, TDRs meet the definition of default and are given a 100% probability of default rating. TDRs are not individually evaluated unless determined to be collateral-dependent. Therefore, loss given default is calculated based on the individual risk characteristics of the loan as defined in the model.
When loans do not share risk characteristics similar to others in the pool, the ACL is evaluated on an individual basis. Given that BancShares' CECL models are loan level models, the population of loans evaluated individually is minimal and consists primarily of loans greater than $500 thousand and determined to be collateral-dependent. BancShares elected the practical expedient allowed under ASC 326 to assess the collectability of these loans, where repayment is expected to be provided substantially through operation or sale of collateral, based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of the collateral is estimated using appraised and market values (appropriately adjusted for an assessment of the sales and marketing costs when applicable). A specific allowance is established, or partial charge-off is recorded, for the difference between the excess amortized cost of loan and the collateral’s estimated fair value.
Accrued Interest Receivable
BancShares has elected not to measure an ACL for accrued interest receivable and has excluded it from the amortized cost basis of loans and held to maturity debt securities as our accounting policies and credit monitoring provide that uncollectible accrued interest is reversed or written off against interest income in a timely manner.
Unfunded Commitments
A reserve for unfunded commitments is established for off-balance sheet exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable (i.e. commitment cannot be canceled at any time). These unfunded commitments are assessed to determine both the probability of funding as well the expectation of future losses. The expected funding balance is used in the probability of default and loss given default models to determine the reserve. The reserve for unfunded commitments was $14.0 million at September 30, 2020, and is recorded within other liabilities with changes recorded through other expense.
Adoption Impact
Upon adoption, BancShares recorded a net decrease of $37.9 million in the ACL which included a reduction of $56.9 million in the ACL on non-PCD loans, offset by an increase of $19.0 million in the ACL on PCD loans. The $56.9 million reduction in the ACL on non-PCD loans, as well as an $8.9 million increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments, net of deferred taxes, resulted in an increase in retained earnings of $36.9 million. The $19.0 million increase in the ACL on PCD loans was a reclassification of the PCD credit discount and resulted in a gross up of loan balances by this same amount and did not have any effect on retained earnings. Impact to total capital and capital ratios was not significant and we did not elect the capital phase-in option allowable for regulatory reporting purposes. There was 0 ACL recorded on debt securities held to maturity at adoption.
The largest changes in the ACL, affecting beginning retained earnings as a result of the adoption, were decreases in the ACL on commercial loan segments as these portfolios have exhibited strong historical credit performance and have relatively short average lives. The reduction in ACL on these segments was partially offset by increases in ACL on our consumer loan segments primarily due to their longer average lives. The increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments was primarily due to increases in the scope of off-balance sheet exposures considered in this estimate due to the provisions in ASC 326.

BancShares adopted this ASU using the prospective transition approach for PCD loans previously accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, we did not assess whether purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans met the criteria of PCD as of the date of adoption and all loans previously classified as PCI were updated to the PCD classification. Pools utilized for PCI accounting under ASC 310-30 were dissolved upon adoption. Loans from performing PCI pools, not previously considered nonaccrual of $47.0 million, were reclassified into nonaccrual status as a result of adoption. PCD loans were assessed using the loan level probability of default and loss given default models, as well as utilizing prior specific loan reviews to inform the initial PCD loan ACL. The ACL for PCD loans increased as a result of adoption and the amortized cost basis of these loans was adjusted to reflect the transfer of this amount from credit discount to ACL. The remaining noncredit discount will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of January 1, 2020. At the date of adoption, no securities were determined to be PCD.
BancShares also adopted this ASU under the prospective transition approach for debt securities available for sale. No previously recorded other than temporary impairment was reported on the portfolio of debt securities.

Table of Contents
Each transaction is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information regarding closing date fair value becomes available.
As part of the accounting for each acquisition, we perform an analysis of the acquired bank’s loan portfolio and based on such credit factors as past due status, nonaccrual status, life-to-date charge-offs and other quantitative and qualitative considerations segregate the acquired loans into PCD loans and non-PCD loans. PCD loans are accounted for under ASC 326-20, and non-PCD loans which do not meet this criteria are accounted for under ASC 310-20. Additionally, we perform an analysis of the acquired bank’s portfolio of debt securities to determine if any debt securities should be designated PCD.
Community Financial Holding Company, Inc.
On February 1, 2020, FCB completed the merger of Duluth, Georgia-based Community Financial Holding Company, Inc. (“Community Financial”) and its bank subsidiary, Gwinnett Community Bank. Under the terms of the agreement, total cash consideration of $2.3 million was paid to the shareholders of Community Financial. The merger allows FCB to expand its presence and enhance banking efforts in Georgia.
The fair value of the assets acquired was $221.4 million, including $110.6 million in non-PCD loans, $23.4 million in PCD loans, net of an ACL of $1.2 million, and $536 thousand in a core deposit intangible. No debt securities purchased in the transaction were designated PCD. Liabilities assumed were $219.8 million, of which $209.3 million were deposits. As a result of the transaction, FCB recorded $686 thousand of goodwill. The amount of goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. The premium paid reflects the increased market share and related synergies expected to result from the acquisition. None of the goodwill was deductible for income tax purposes as the merger was accounted for as a qualified stock purchase.
The following table provides the purchase price as of the acquisition date and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values:

NaNNone of the unrealized losses identified as of September 30, 2020,2021, or December 31, 2019,2020, relate to the marketability of the securities or the issuers’issuer’s ability to honor redemption obligations. Rather, the unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and do not indicate credit-related impairment. BancShares considered other factors including changes in credit ratings, delinquencies, and other macroeconomic factors in this determination. As a result, NaNnone of the securities were deemed to require an allowance for credit losses. BancShares has the ability and intent to retain these securities for a period of time sufficient to recover all unrealized losses.
Investment securities having an aggregate carrying value of $4.48$5.5 billion at September 30, 2020,2021, and $3.93$4.6 billion at December 31, 2019,2020, were pledged as collateral to secure public funds on deposit and certain short-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required by law.

Given the consistently strong credit rating of the U.S. Treasury and the long history of no credit losses on debt securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, no further credit monitoring is performed on these portfolios. Should there be downgrades to the credit rating of the U.S. Treasury or losses reported on securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, BancShares will reevaluate its determination of zero expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities.
There were 0no debt securities held to maturity on nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2020.2021.

Credit Quality
Loans and leases are monitored for credit quality on a recurring basis. Commercial and consumer loans and leases have different credit quality indicators as a result of the unique characteristics of the loan segments being evaluated. The credit quality indicators for commercial loans and leases are borrower risk classifications developed through a review of individual borrowers on an ongoing basis. Commercial loans are evaluated at least annually, with more frequent evaluations done on criticized loans. Commercial loans are also updated if there is evidence of potential credit deterioration, such as delinquency. Commercial credit cards are included in the Commercial and industrial and leases segment, but are evaluated based primarily upon delinquency status. The risk classifications as of the date presented are based on the most recent assessment performed and are defined below:
Pass – A pass rated asset is not adversely classified because it does not display any of the characteristics for adverse classification.
Special mention – A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, such potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not warrant adverse classification.
21

Table of Contents
Substandard – A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets classified as substandard generally have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These assets are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful – An asset classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in an asset classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values.
Loss – Assets classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that it is inappropriate to be carried as an asset. This classification is not necessarily equivalent to any potential for recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not appropriate to defer a full charge-off even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.
Ungraded – Ungraded loans represent loans that are not included in the individual credit grading process due to their relatively small balances or borrower type. The majority of ungraded loans at September 30, 20202021 relate to business credit cards. Business credit card loans are subject to automatic charge-off when they become 120 days past due in the same manner as unsecured consumer lines of credit. The remaining balance is comprised of a small amount of commercial mortgage, lease financing and other commercial real estate loans.
The credit quality indicators for consumer and PCD loans are based on delinquency status of the borrower as of the date presented. As the borrower becomes more delinquent, the likelihood of loss increases.

NOTE E - ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (“ACL”)
As noted in Note A - Accounting Polices and Basis of Presentation, BancShares determined SBA-PPP loans have 0 expected credit losses and as such these are excluded from ACL disclosures included in the following tables.
Upon adoption of ASC 326, BancShares recorded a net decrease of $37.9 million in the ACL which included a decrease of $56.9 million in the ACL on non-PCD loans, offset by an increase of $19.0 million in the ACL on PCD loans. The largest changes as a result of adoption were decreases in the ACL on commercial loan segments as these portfolios have exhibited strong historical credit performance and have relatively short average lives. The reduction in ACL on these segments was partially offset by increases in ACL on our consumer loan segments primarily due to their longer average lives. The increase in the ACL on PCD loans was primarily the result of reallocating credit discount from loan balances into ACL.
The ACL is calculated using a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, charge-off and recovery activity, loan growth, changes in macroeconomic factors, collateral type, estimated loan life and changes in credit quality. For the period ended September 30, 2020 the primary reason for2021, the ACL change since the adoption of ASC 326,December 31, 2020 was a $36.1 million reserve build due to the potential economic impact of COVID-19driven by continued strong credit performance, low net charge-offs, and its estimated impact on credit losses.improvement in macroeconomic factors. Forecasted economic conditions are developed using third party macroeconomic scenarios adjusted based on management’s expectations over a forecast period of two years. Assumptions revertFor most pools, BancShares uses a 12-month straight-line reversion period to long term historichistorical averages over a one year period.for model inputs; however for the consumer other, consumer card and commercial card pools, immediate reversion to historical net loss rates is utilized. Significant macroeconomic factors used in estimating the expected losses include unemployment, gross domestic product, home price index and commercial real estate index. Our model results considerBancShares’ ACL forecast considers a range of economic scenarios from an upside scenario to a severely adverse scenario, but the September 30, 2021 ACL forecast was calculated using the consensus baseline adverse and upside scenarios. To calculate the ACL, we utilized the baselinescenario. This scenario which includesshowed improvements toin the most significant assumptions andeconomic factors compared to what was used to generate the impact from government stimulus. This result was calibrated using management’s expectation of borrower performance based upon COVID-19 residual risk by industry and geography.December 31, 2020 ACL. These loss estimates were also influenced by BancSharesBancShares’ strong credit quality and low net charge-offs and recent credit trends, which remained stable through the quarter ended September 30, 2020.charge-offs.

BancShares individually reviews loans greater than $500 thousand that are determined to be collateral-dependent. These collateral-dependent loans are evaluated based on the fair value of the underlying collateral as repayment of the loan is expected to be made through the operation or sale of the collateral. Commercial and industrial loans and leases are collateralized by business assets, while the remaining loan classes are collateralized by real property.
The following table presents information on collateral-dependent loans by class and includes the amortized cost of collateral-dependent loans and leases, the net realizable value of the collateral, the extent to which collateral secures collateral-dependent loans and the associated ACL as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

Troubled Debt Restructurings
BancShares accounts for certain loan modifications or restructurings as TDRs.troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). In general, the modification or restructuring of a loan is considered a TDR if, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, a concession is granted to the borrower that creditors would not otherwise consider. Concessions may relate to the contractual interest rate, maturity date, payment structure or other actions. Within our allowance for creditBancShares’ ACL loss models, TDRs are not individually evaluated unless determined to be collateral-dependent andcollateral-dependent. Consumer TDRs are included in the definition of default which provides for a 100% probability of default applied within the models. As a result, subsequent changes in default statuscredit quality metrics do not impact the calculation of the allowance for credit lossesACL on consumer TDRs. For commercial TDRs, the TDR loans.distinction does impact the calculation of ACL, as the standard definition of default is utilized.
The Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus was published by banking regulators in April 2020 to clarify expectations around loan modifications and the determination of TDRs for borrowers experiencing COVID-19-related financial difficulty.difficulty due to COVID-19. BancShares applied this regulatory guidance during its TDR identification process for short-term loan forbearance agreements as a result of COVID-19 and in most cases isdid not recordingrecord these as TDRs.

Table of Contents
Mortgage servicing rights valuations are performed using a pooling methodology where loans with similar risk characteristics are grouped together and evaluated using discounted cash flows to estimate the present value of future earnings. Key economic assumptions used to value mortgage servicing rights were as follows:
September 30, 2020December 31, 2019September 30, 2021December 31, 2020
Discount rate - conventional fixed loansDiscount rate - conventional fixed loans7.68 %8.92 %Discount rate - conventional fixed loans8.49 %7.92 %
Discount rate - all loans excluding conventional fixed loansDiscount rate - all loans excluding conventional fixed loans8.68 %9.92 %Discount rate - all loans excluding conventional fixed loans9.49 %8.92 %
Weighted average constant prepayment rateWeighted average constant prepayment rate20.80 %13.72 %Weighted average constant prepayment rate17.32 %20.62 %
Weighted average cost to service a loanWeighted average cost to service a loan$87.30 $87.09 Weighted average cost to service a loan$87.58 $87.58 
The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is sensitive to changes in assumptions and is determined by estimating the present value of the asset’s future cash flows by utilizing discount rates, prepayment rates, and other inputs. The discount rate is based on the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate plus a risk premium of 700 basis points for conventional fixed loans and 800 basis points for all other loans. The prepayment rate is derived from the Public Securities Association Standard Prepayment model. Generally, as interest rates decline, mortgage loan prepayments accelerate due to increased refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value and may result in the recognition of a valuation allowance. The average cost to service a loan is based on the number of loans serviced and the total cost to service the loans.
NOTE H - REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
BancShares utilizes securities sold under agreements to repurchase to facilitate the needs of customers and secure wholesale funding needs. Repurchase agreements are transactions whereby BancShares offers to sell to a counterparty an undivided interest in an eligible security at an agreed upon price, and which obligates BancShares to repurchase the security at an agreed upon date, repurchase price, and interest rate. These agreements are recorded at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction and are reflected as securities sold under customer repurchase agreements.
BancShares monitors collateral levels on a continuous basis and maintains records of each transaction specifically describing the applicable security and the counterparty’s interest in that security, and segregates the security from general assets in accordance with regulations governing custodial holdings of securities. The primary risk with repurchase agreements is market risk associated with the investments securing the transactions, as additional collateral may be required based on fair value changes of the underlying investments. Securities pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements are maintained with safekeeping agents. The carrying value of investment securities available for sale pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements was $748.1$685.9 million and $477.6$689.3 million at September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.
At September 30, 2020,2021, BancShares held $693.9$663.6 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, with overnight and continuous remaining contractual maturities, made up of $444.0including $571.6 million collateralized by government agency securities and $249.9$92.0 million collateralized by commercial mortgage-backed securities. At December 31, 2019,2020, BancShares held securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $443.0$641.5 million, with overnight and continuous remaining contractual maturities, including $432.8 million collateralized by government agency securities and $208.7 million collateralized by commercial mortgage-backed securities.

NOTE K - ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES
Fair value estimates are intended to represent the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Where there is no active market for a financial instrument, BancShares has made estimates using discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. Inputs used in these valuation techniques are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and require significant judgment and therefore can only be derived within a range of precision. Accordingly, the derived fair value estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts BancShares would realize in a current market exchange.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, indicates that assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels. The levels are based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The level within the fair value hierarchy for an asset or liability is based on the highest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (with Level 1 considered highest and Level 3 considered lowest). A brief description of each level follows:
Level 1 values are based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 values are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 values are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or assumptions are not observable in the market. These unobservable inputs and assumptions reflect estimates that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
BancShares’ management reviews any changes to its valuation methodologies to ensure they are appropriate and supportable, and refines valuation methodologies as more market-based data becomes available. Accuracy of the levels of the fair value hierarchy are validated and transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

Table of Contents
The methodologies used to estimate the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:
Investment securities available for sale and held to maturity. The fair value of U.S. Treasury, government agency and mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities, as well as a portion of corporate bonds, is generally estimated using a third party pricing service. The third party provider evaluates securities based on comparable investments with trades and market data and will utilize pricing models that use a variety of inputs, such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids and offers as needed. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. The remaining corporate bonds held are generally measured at fair value based on indicative bids from broker-dealers which are unadjusted and are not directly observable. These securities are considered Level 3.
Investment in marketable equity securities. Equity securities are measured at fair value using observable closing prices and the market activity. Equity securities are classified as Level 1 if they are traded in an active market and as Level 2 if the observable closing price is from a less than active market.
Loans held for sale. Management elects the fair value option on certain residential real estate loans originated to be sold to investors. The loans are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices for similar types of loans. Accordingly, the inputs used to calculate fair value of originated residential real estate loans held for sale are classified as Level 2 inputs. Loans held for investment subsequently transferred to held for sale are carried at fair valuethe lower of cost or market. Transfers occur when management intends to sell a pool of loans in the secondary market. This typically occurs when a firm commitment to purchase from a counterparty exists. The fair value of the transferred loans is based on the quoted prices and is considered a Level 1 input.
Net loans and leases. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows using the current interest rates at which loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. The inputs used in the fair value measurements for loans and leases are considered Level 3 inputs.
FHLB stock. The carrying amount of FHLB stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these securities are not readily marketable and are evaluated for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. BancShares considers positive and negative evidence, including the profitability and asset quality of the issuer, dividend payment history and recent redemption experience, when determining the ultimate recoverability of the par value. BancShares believes its investment in FHLB stock is ultimately recoverable at par. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for the FHLB stock are considered Level 2 inputs.

Table of Contents
Mortgage and other servicing rights. Mortgage and other servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or market value and are, therefore, carried at fair value only when fair value is less than the amortized cost. The fair value of mortgage and other servicing rights is performed using a pooling methodology. Similar loans are pooled together and a model that relies on discount rates, estimates of prepayment rates and the weighted average cost to service the loans is used to determine the fair value. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for mortgage and other servicing rights are considered Level 3 inputs.
Deposits. For non-time deposits, carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the interest rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for deposits are considered Level 2 inputs.    
Borrowings. For borrowings, the fair values are determined based on recent trades or sales of the actual security if available. Otherwise, fair values are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar financial instruments. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for FHLB borrowings, subordinated debentures, and other borrowings are considered Level 2 inputs.
Payable to the FDIC for shared-loss agreements. The fair value of the payable to the FDIC for shared-loss agreements iswas determined based on expected payments to the FDIC in accordance with the shared-loss agreements. Cash flows arewere discounted using current discount rates to reflect the timing of the estimated amounts due to the FDIC. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for the payable to the FDIC arewere considered Level 3 inputs.
Off-balance-sheet commitments and contingencies. Carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of the fair values for such financial instruments. Carrying amounts include unamortized fee income and, in some cases, reserves for any credit losses from those financial instruments. These amounts are not material to BancShares’ financial position.
For all other financial assets and liabilities, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value as of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. The carrying value and fair value for these assets and liabilities are equivalent because they are relatively short term in nature and there is no interest rate or credit risk that would cause the fair value to differ from the carrying value. Cash and due from banks is classified on the fair value hierarchy as Level 1. Overnight investments, income earned not collected, securities sold under customer repurchase agreements, and accrued interest payable are considered Level 2.

Fair Value Option
BancShares has elected the fair value option for residential real estate loans originated to be sold. This election reduces certain timing differences in the Consolidated Statement of Income and better aligns with the management of the portfolio from a business perspective. The changes in fair value were recorded as a component of mortgage income and included a gainlosses of $567 thousand$0.6 million and a gaingains of $583 thousand$0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The changes in fair value included gainsa loss of $2.9 million and a gain of $4.2 million and $750 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Interest earned on loans held for sale is recorded within interest income on loans and 2019, respectively.leases in the consolidated statements of income.

WeBancShares may be required to measure certain financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of amortized cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment.
Following the adoption of ASC 326, theThe population of loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis has greatly diminished and is limited to collateral-dependent loans evaluated individually. These collateral-dependent loans are deemed to be at fair value if there is an associated allowance for credit lossesACL or if a charge-off has been recorded in the previous 12 months. A large majority of collateral for these loans is real property. Collateral values are determined using appraisals or other third-party value estimates of the subject property discounted based on estimated selling costs, generally between 6%5% and 10%, and immaterial adjustments for other external factors that may impact the marketability of the collateral. The weighted average discount for estimated selling costs applied to real estate collateral was 7.51%.

Table of Contents
Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, impaired loans were deemed to be at fair value if an associated allowance or current period charge-off had been recorded. The value of impaired loans was determined by either collateral valuations or discounted present value of the expected cash flow calculations. Collateral values were determined using appraisals or other third-party value estimates of the subject property with discounts, generally between 6% and 11%, applied for estimated selling costs and other external factors that may impact the marketability of the property. Expected cash flows were determined using expected payment information at the individual loan level, discounted using the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate for impaired loans generally ranges between 3% and 7%8%.
OREO acquired or written down within the previous 12 months is deemed to be at fair value. Asset valuations are determined by using appraisals or other third-party value estimates of the subject property with with discounts generally between 7%6% and 16%15% applied for estimated selling costs and other external factors that may impact the marketability of the property. At September 30, 2020,2021, the weighted average discount applied was 8.46%8%. Changes to the value of the assets between scheduled valuation dates are monitored through continued communication with brokers and monthly reviews by the asset manager assigned to each asset. If there are any significant changes in the market or the subject property, valuations are adjusted or new appraisals ordered to ensure the reported values reflect the most current information.

NOTE N - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
To meet the financing needs of its customers, BancShares and its subsidiaries have financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments involve elements of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk and include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.
Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. Established credit standards control the credit risk exposure associated with these commitments. In some cases, BancShares requires collateral be pledged to secure the commitment, including cash deposits, securities and other assets.
Standby letters of credit are commitments guaranteeing performance of a customer to a third party. Those commitments are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. To mitigate its risk, BancShares’ credit policies govern the issuance of standby letters of credit. The credit risk related to the issuance of these letters of credit is essentially the same as in extending loans to clients and, therefore, these letters of credit are collateralized when necessary.

BancShares and various subsidiaries have been named as defendants in legal actions arising from their normal business activities in which damages in various amounts were claimed. BancShares has also been exposed to litigation risk relating to the prior business activities of banks from which assets were acquired and liabilities assumed in the various merger transactions. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of management, any such liability will not have a material effect on BancShares’ consolidated financial statements.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
BancShares conducts its banking operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“FCB”), a state-chartered bank organized under the laws of the state of North Carolina.
BancShares’ earnings and cash flows are primarily derived from our commercial and retail banking activities. We gather deposits from retail and commercial customers and also secure funding through various non-deposit sources. We invest the liquidity generated from these funding sources in interest-earning assets, including loans and leases, investment securities and overnight investments. We also invest in bank premises, hardware, software, furniture and equipment used to conduct our commercial and retail banking business. We provide treasury services products, cardholder and merchant services, wealth management services and various other products and services typically offered by commercial banks. The fees and service charges generated from these products and services are primary sources of noninterest income which is an essential component of our total revenue.
We are focused on expanding our position in legacy and target markets through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. We believe our franchise is positioned for continued growth as a result of our client centric banking principles, disciplined lending standards, and our people.
Refer to our 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of our strategy.
RECENT ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS
During the first quarter of 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) spread throughout the world, causing significant disruptions to the domestic and global economies which continue to date.economies. In response to the outbreak, governments have imposed restrictions resulting in business shutdowns, regional quarantines, disruptions of supply chains, changes in consumer behavior and overall economic instability. This uncertainty has ledAlthough vaccines for COVID-19 have been made available to volatilitythe general public in the financial markets. This impact was coupled with spikesUnited States and many places around the world, vaccination rates vary and effectiveness may decrease over time. We cannot predict how widely utilized the vaccines and boosters will be or whether and for how long they will be effective in unemployment as a resultpreventing the spread of COVID-19 (including its variants).

Although we cannot predict when or if normal economic activity and business shutdowns thatoperations will resume, we observed general declines in the level of economic uncertainty and stabilization of macroeconomic forecasts during the first three quarters of 2021. The US experienced an uptick in the number of new cases during the third quarter of 2021. We are unable to predict whether these trends will continue to impact financial institutions operationally and financially. For a discussionhow this will affect the overall economy at the current time. However, we remain vigilant in our review and monitoring efforts around the duration and severity of the risks we face with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic (including any of its variants) and its effects on the associated economic uncertainty, the steps taken to mitigate the pandemicoverall economy and the resulting economic contraction, see "Item 1A — Risk Factors" in Part II of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.financial results.

During the third quarter of 2020,2021, the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) maintained the federal funds rate at a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%. The FOMC citedacknowledged the effects ofeconomy’s accelerating recovery from the COVID-19 onpandemic, but maintained that the recovery is incomplete and economic activity and the risks posed to the economic outlook.remain. The FOMC expects to maintain this target range, until labor market conditions have reached levels consistent withbut rate hikes are expected in late 2022 or early 2023. Further, the FOMC’s assessmentscommittee suggested that they will begin tapering asset purchases, potentially as early as the fourth quarter of maximum employment and inflation has risen2021 if economic progress continues as expected.
In response to 2% and is on track to moderately exceed 2% for some time.
On March 27, 2020,the COVID-19 pandemic, the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“SBA-PPP”) was established through the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was passed. The bill was designedand the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 to provide short-term economic reliefdirect aid via loans to individuals andsmall businesses most impacted by the falloutCOVID-19 pandemic.
We completed the first round of SBA-PPP funding in the pandemic. Key provisions include: for individuals, economic impact paymentssecond half 2020 and enhanced unemployment benefits; for small businesses, access tothe second round of funding during the second quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2021, there were $1.1 billion SBA-PPP loans and support through the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“SBA-PPP”), direct aid and loansoutstanding with remaining net deferred fees of $39.4 million.

As of September 30, 2021, we have received approximately 98% of forgiveness decisions from the Federal Reserve, SBA and United States (“U.S.”) Treasury to the public. This was supplemented by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act, which was signed into law on June 5, 2020 and amended provisions of the SBA-PPP including timing of the program and changes todate, representing over $3.1 billion in forgiveness criteria. In addition, there were other regulatory actions taken that may impact our business including changes in credit reporting on customer forbearance, federally backed mortgage forbearance, potential legal lending limit relaxation and other economic stabilization efforts. Further legislation is expected as the government continues to mitigate the economic impact on the crisis.payments.

BANCSHARES’ COVID-19 CONTINUED MONITORING AND RESPONSEWith respect to the second round of SBA-PPP, we began accepting and processing applications for forgiveness during the third quarter of 2021.As of September 30, 2021, we have received approximately 14% of forgiveness decisions from the SBA, representing over $175 million in forgiveness payments.
BancShares remains in a very strong capital and liquidity position providing stability in navigating the COVID-19 crisis. Our leadership team continues to ensure appropriate measures are in place to protect the welfare of our employees and soundness of the organization, while continuing to support our customers. Our branches have re-opened with enhanced safety protocols, and our corporate locations remain at limited occupancy due to current virus trends.

During 2020, BancShares originated over 23,000 SBA-PPP loans with an outstanding balance of $3.11 billion at September 30, 2020. We have collected all $117.2 million in SBA-PPP related loan fees per the program terms. These fees and related costs were deferred and are being recognized in interest income over the life of the loans. We have begun accepting and processing applications for forgiveness, and subsequent to the third quarter, we have begun receiving forgiveness payments. We anticipate acceleration of the fee income as the volume of approved forgiveness applications and payments received from the SBA increase.

Strong Liquidity and Capital Position
We maintain a strong level of liquidity. As of September 30, 2020, liquid assets (available cash and unencumbered high quality liquid assets at market value) totaled approximately $8.51 billion representing 17.5% of consolidated assets as of September 30, 2020.
In addition to liquid assets, we had contingent sources of liquidity totaling approximately $11.37 billion in the form of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowing capacity, Federal Reserve Discount Window availability, federal funds lines and a committed line of credit.
At September 30, 2020, BancShares’ regulatory capital ratios were well in excess of Basel III capital requirements with a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.7%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.5%, a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 10.4%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.8% and a capital conservation buffer of 5.5%, more than twice the required level of 2.5%.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN 2020
On January 1, 2020 BancShares adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced a new credit loss methodology for the estimation of credit losses.The amendments in this ASU require loss estimates be determined over an asset’s lifetime and broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit losses. BancShares adopted this ASU using the modified retrospective approach for all loans, leases, debt securities designated as held to maturity, and unfunded loan commitments. BancShares adopted this ASU using the prospective transition approach for PCD loans previously accounted for under ASC 310-30 and debt securities available for sale. Refer to Note A - Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation for additional information.
Upon adoption, BancShares recorded a net decrease of $37.9 million in the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) which included a decrease of $56.9 million in the ACL on non-purchased credit deteriorated (“non-PCD”) loans, offset by an increase of $19.0 million in the ACL on purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans. The $56.9 million change in the ACL on non-PCD loans, as well as an $8.9 million increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments, net of deferred taxes, resulted in a net increase in retained earnings of $36.9 million. The $19.0 million increase in the ACL on PCD loans was a reclassification of the PCD credit discount and resulted in a gross up of loan balances by this same amount and did not have any effect on retained earnings. Impact to total capital and capital ratios was not significant and we did not elect the capital phase-in option allowable for regulatory reporting purposes.

(1)We adopted ASC Topic 326 (“CECL”) utilizing the modified retrospective approach. We did not restate selected financial data for the quarters prior to 2020 presented above.
(2) Average loan and lease balances include PCD loans, non-PCD loans and leases, loans held for sale and nonaccrual loans and leases.
(3)(2) Loans originated in relation to the SBA-PPP ($3.111.7 billion as of September 30, 2020)2021) do not have a recorded ACL. As of September 30, 2020,2021, the ratio of ACL to total Non-PCD loans excluding SBA-PPP loans is 0.68%0.53%, while the ratio of ACL to total loans excluding SBA-PPP loans is 0.75%0.58%.
(4) Upon adoption of ASC 326, we dissolved pooling of PCI loans allowed under ASC 310-30. This increased the amount of nonaccrual loans as those nonaccrual loans within performing PCI pools were previously excluded from reporting. As of January 1, 2020, there were $47.0 million of nonaccrual loans released from performing PCI pools. Of these nonaccrual loans, $27.5 million were outstanding as of September 30, 2020.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income and Margin (Taxable-Equivalent Basis)
Third Quarter 20202021 compared to Third Quarter 20192020
The taxable-equivalentTaxable-equivalent net interest income totaled $347.5 million for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $354.3 million, an increase2021, a decrease of $16.9$6.8 million, or 5.0%1.9%, compared to the third quarter of 2019.2020.

Interest and fee income related to SBA-PPP loans totaled $29.8 million in the third quarter of 2020.
The taxable-equivalent NIM was 3.06% in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of 71 basis points from the same quarter in the prior year. The primary drivers of the margin decline were lower yields on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decline in the rates paidyield on interest-bearing deposits, largely in time deposits and money market accounts, and borrowings.
Average interest-earning assets increased by $10.32 billion to $45.62 billion, compareddue to the third quarter of 2019. The primary drivers for this changesustained low rate environment and a reduction in interest and fee income on SBA-PPP loans. These declines were higher average loan balances, which increased $5.72 billion, due to contributions from loans originated under the SBA-PPP as well as recent acquisitions andpartially offset by organic loan growth, higher average investment securitiesbalances as we have deployed some of $2.97 billionthe excess liquidity on our balance sheet, and higher average overnight investments of $1.63 billion. The yielda decline in the rate paid on interest-earning assets decreased by 82 basis points to 3.24% when compared tointerest bearing deposits. SBA-PPP loans contributed $20.0 million in interest and fee income for the third quarter of 2019. The yield2021 compared to $28.9 million for the same quarter in 2020. While SBA-PPP loans continue to support overall net interest income, the contribution from these loans continues to decline as forgiveness activity continues.

Net interest income increased $0.5 million compared to the linked quarter despite a decline in SBA-PPP income and continued low interest rates. Higher investment and overnight yields and balances, organic loan growth and slightly lower deposit costs more than offset rate pressure on loans and leases decreased to 4.06%, or by 55a decline in SBA-PPP income. SBA-PPP loans contributed $27.2 million in interest and fee income for the second quarter of 2021.

The taxable-equivalent NIM was 2.61% in the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of 45 basis points primarily due to lower yields on commercial and home equity loans as a resultfrom the comparable quarter of downward rate resets on variable rate loans and lower rates on originations.2020. The yield on overnight investments and investment securities decreased by 199 basis points and 82 basis points, respectively. The yield decrease on overnight investmentsmargin decline was primarily due to a lower federal funds rate, while lower yields on investment securities were primarily due to yieldchanges in earning asset mix driven by excess liquidity and higher balances in overnight investments as well as declines in government agencyloan yields. These declines were partially offset by lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and mortgage-backed securities.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $5.04yield on SBA-PPP loans. As with prior quarters, we continue to operate with liquidity above normal operating ranges which puts downward pressure on net interest margin. The level of organic loan growth has helped to somewhat protect taxable equivalent NIM from the impacts of the low interest rate environment. We have also opportunistically deployed incremental liquidity of $1 billion to $25.59 billion, compared tointo the investment portfolio since the third quarter of 2019. This increase was2020.

These increases were largely offset by a decline in the yield on interest-earning assets. SBA-PPP loans contributed $78.1 million in interest earned on loans primarily due to loan growth, partially offset by a decrease in interest earned on overnight investments of $15.0 million as well as an increase in total interest expense of $12.0 million.

Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $35.8$34.1 million and $35.4$35.8 million for the third quarter of 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 20.1%21.5% and 22.1%20.1% during the respective periods.

The effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months ofduring 2020 were favorably impacted by $3.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, due to BancShares’ decision in the second quarter to utilize an allowable alternative for computing its 2020 federal income tax liability. Without this alternative, the effective tax rate would have been approximately 22.0% and 22.6% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively. The allowable alternative providesprovided BancShares the ability to use the federal income tax rate for certain current year deductible amounts related to prior year FDIC-assisted acquisitions that was applicable when these amounts were originally subjected to tax. Without this alternative, the effective tax rate is materially unchanged for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 and the effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 would have been approximately 22.0% and 22.6% respectively.

We monitor and evaluate the potential impact of current events on the estimates used to establish income tax expenses and income tax liabilities. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our income tax positions based on current tax law, positions taken by various tax auditors within the jurisdictions where BancShares is required to file income tax returns as well as potential or pending audits or assessments by tax auditors.
INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS
Interest-earning assets include overnight investments, investment securities and loans and leases, and overnight investments, all of which reflect varying interest rates based on the risk level and repricing characteristics of the underlying asset. Riskier investments typically carry a higher interest rate but expose us to higher levels of market risk. We strive to maintain a high level of interest-earning assets relative to total assets, while keeping non-earning assets at a minimum.
Interest-earning assets totaled $45.96$53.4 billion and $37.23$47.2 billion at September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The $8.73$6.2 billion increase was primarily composed of a $3.96$5.5 billion increase in loansovernight investments and leases, a $2.69 billion$952.4 million increase in investment securities, andpartially offset by a $2.03 billion increase$275.8 million decrease in overnight investments.loans.

Investment Securities
The primary objective of the investment portfolio is to generate incremental income by deploying excess funds into securities with minimal liquidity and credit risk, and low to moderate interest rate risk. Other objectives include acting as a stable source of liquidity, serving as a tool for asset and liability management and maintaining an interest rate risk profile compatible with BancShares’ objectives. Additionally, purchases of equities and corporate bonds in other financial institutions have been made largely under a long-term earnings optimization strategy. Changes in the total balance of our investment portfolio result from trends in balance sheet funding and market performance. Generally, when inflows arising from deposit and treasury services products exceed loan and lease demand, we invest excess funds into the securities portfolio and into overnight investments. Conversely, when loan demand exceeds growth in deposits and short-term borrowings, we allow overnight investments to decline and use proceeds from maturing securities and prepayments to fund loan demand. See Note C - Investments to our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures.
The carrying value of investment securities totaled $9.86$10.9 billion at September 30, 2020,2021, an increase of $2.69 billion$952.4 million compared to December 31, 2019. The increase in the portfolio was primarily2020 attributable to depositour continued growth outpacing loan growth forin deposits.

Table of the adoption of ASC 326, BancShares evaluated its portfolios of held to maturity and available for sale debt securities to determine the need to record a related allowance for credit losses. See Note A - Accounting Policies and Basis for Presentation for more detail on our policies and adoption. As of January 1, 2020, no allowance for credit losses was required for available for sale and held to maturity debt securities.Contents
Available for sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, (“AOCI”), net of deferred taxes. As of September 30, 2020,2021, investment securities available for sale had a net pre-tax unrealized gain of $135.2$26.0 million, compared to a net pre-tax unrealized gain of $7.5$102.3 million as of December 31, 2019.2020. Management evaluated the available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position and concluded that the unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates relative to when the securities were purchased, and therefore, no allowance for credit losses was neededrecorded at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
BancShares’ portfolio of held to maturity debt securities consists of mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities. Given the consistently strong credit rating of the U.S. Treasury and the long history of no credit losses on debt securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, no allowance for credit losses was needed at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Loans and Leases
Loans for held for sale were $120.3$98.5 million at September 30, 2020,2021, a net increasedecrease of $52.4$26.4 million since December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily due to originations of $775.9 million driven by low interest rates, partially offset by sales of $743.5 million.2020.
Loans and leases held for investment were $32.85 billion atAt September 30, 2020,2021, loans totaled $32.5 billion, a net increasedecrease of $3.96 billion, representing$275.8 million, or by 1.1% on an annualized growth of 18.3%basis since December 31, 2019. This increase was driven by a $4.03 billion net increase in the non-PCD portfolio offset by a $62.8 million net decrease in the PCD loan portfolio. The net increase in the non-PCD portfolio was due to $3.11 billion related to SBA-PPP loans as well as organic growth primarily in our commercial segments. The net decrease in PCD loans was primarily due to pay downs and pay-offs, partially offset by a $19.0 million increase from the adoption of ASC 326.2020. Excluding 2020 loans related to SBA-PPP loans, total loans grewincreased $1.0 billion, or by 3.9%4.6% on an annualized basis.basis since December 31, 2020.
BancShares reports non-PCD and PCD loan portfolios separately, and the non-PCD portfolio is further divided into commercial and consumer segments. Non-PCD loans and leases were $32.1 billion at September 30, 2020 were $32.35 billion compared to $28.322021 and $32.3 billion at December 31, 2019,2020, representing 98.5%98.9% and 98.1%98.6% of total loans, respectively. PCD loans at September 30, 20202021 were $495.9$373.3 million, compared to $558.7$462.9 million of PCI loans at December 31, 2019,2020, representing 1.5%1.1% and 1.9%1.4% of total loans, respectively.
The discount related to acquired non-PCD loans and leases was $13.4 million and $19.5 million at September 30, 20202021 and non-PCI loans and leases at December 31, 2019 was $23.0 million and $30.9 million,2020, respectively. The discount related to PCD loans was $32.6 million and $45.3 million at September 30, 20202021 and PCI loans at December 31, 2019 was $49.2 million and $88.2 million,2020, respectively. The primary driver of the decrease in PCD discount is the adoption of ASC 326, which resulted in a reclassification of the credit portion of the loan discount to the ACL of $19.0 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, accretion income on purchased non-PCD loans and leases was $1.2 million and $2.8 million, and $3.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,respectively, while interest and accretion income on purchased PCD loans was $10.8 million and leases was $15.0 million, and $16.5 million, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, accretion income on purchased non-PCD loans and leases was $6.1 million and $7.8 million, and $10.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,respectively, while interest and accretion income on purchased PCD loans was $34.5 million and leases was $48.0 million, and $46.1 million, respectively.respectively

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (“ACL”)
The ACL was $223.9 million at September 30, 2020, representing a decrease of $1.2 million since December 31, 2019. The ACL as a percentage of total loans and leases was 0.68% at September 30, 2020, compared to 0.78% December 31, 2019. The ACL as a percentage of loans and leases excluding SBA-PPP loans, which have no recorded ACL, was 0.75% at September 30, 2020.
Upon adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, BancShares recorded a net decrease of $37.9 million in the ACL which included a decrease of $56.9 million in the ACL on non-PCD loans, partially offset by an increase of $19.0 million in the ACL on PCD loans. The decrease in the ACL on non-PCD loans was primarily in the commercial segments as these portfolios have exhibited strong historical credit performance and have relatively short average lives. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the consumer segments due to their longer average lives. The increase in the ACL on PCD loans was primarily the result of reallocating credit discount from loan balances into ACL.
The ACL is calculated using a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, charge-off and recovery activity, loan growth, changes in macroeconomic factors, collateral type, estimated loan life and changes in credit quality. For the period ended September 30, 2020 the primary reason for the ACL change since the adoption of ASC 326, was a $36.1 million reserve build due to the potential economic impact of COVID-19 and its estimated impact on credit losses. Forecasted economic conditions are developed using third party macroeconomic scenarios adjusted based on management’s expectations over a forecast period of two years. Assumptions revert to long term historic averages over a one year period. Significant macroeconomic factors used in estimating the expected losses include unemployment, gross domestic product, home price index and commercial real estate index. Our model results consider baseline, adverse and upside scenarios. To calculate the ACL, we utilized the baseline scenario, which includes improvements to the most significant assumptions and impact from government stimulus. This result was calibrated using management’s expectation of borrower performance based upon COVID-19 residual risk by industry and geography. These loss estimates were also influenced by BancShares strong credit quality, low net charge-offs and recent credit trends, which remained stable through the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
At September 30, 2020, the ACL allocated to non-PCD loans and leases was $198.8 million, or 0.61% of non-PCD loans and leases, compared to $217.6 million, or 0.77%, at December 31, 2019. The ACL as a percentage of non-PCD loans and leases excluding SBA-PPP loans was 0.68 at September 30, 2020. The decrease of 16 basis points since December 31, 2019 was primarily due to the adoption of ASC 326, partially offset by the forecasted potential economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on expected credit losses. The adoption of ASC 326 resulted in a decrease of 18 basis points, while the COVID-19 impact resulted in an increase of 11 basis points.
At September 30, 2020, the ACL for PCD loans totaled $25.1 million compared to $7.5 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due the adoption of ASC 326.
Net charge-offs for loans and leases were $2.6 million during the third quarter of 2020, compared to $6.5 million during the third quarter of 2019. On an annualized basis, total net charge-offs as a percentage of total average loans and leases was 0.03% and 0.10% for the third quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net charge-off ratio was 0.07% and 0.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The ACL as of September 30, 2020, excluding SBA-PPP loans, covered approximately 9.4 times annualized year to date net charge-offs compared to 6.5 times at January 1, 2020 CECL adoption.

The reserveallowance for unfunded loan commitmentscredit losses (“ACL”) was $14.0 million and $1.1$183.2 million at September 30, 2020 and2021, representing a decrease of $41.1 million since December 31, 2019, respectively.2020. The increaseACL as a percentage of total loans and leases was 0.56% at September 30, 2021, compared to 0.68% at December 31, 2020. The ACL as a percentage of loans and leases excluding SBA-PPP loans, which have no recorded ACL, was 0.58% at September 30, 2021, compared to 0.74% at December 31, 2020.
The ACL is calculated using a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, charge-off and recovery activity, loan growth, changes in macroeconomic factors, collateral type, estimated loan life and changes in credit quality. For the period ended September 30, 2021, the ACL change since December 31, 2020 was driven by continued strong credit performance, low net charge-offs, and improvement in macroeconomic factors. Forecasted economic conditions are developed using third party macroeconomic scenarios adjusted based on management’s expectations over a forecast period of two years. For most pools, we use a 12-month straight-line reversion period to historical averages for model inputs; however for the consumer other, consumer card and commercial card pools, immediate reversion to historical net loss rates is utilized. Significant macroeconomic factors used in estimating the expected losses include unemployment, gross domestic product, home price index and commercial real estate index. Our ACL forecast considers a range of economic scenarios from an upside scenario to a severely adverse scenario, but the September 30, 2021 ACL forecast was calculated using the consensus baseline scenario. This scenario showed improvements in the most significant economic factors compared to what was used to generate the December 31, 2020 ACL. These loss estimates were also influenced by our strong credit quality and low net charge-offs.
As of September 30, 2021, the consensus baseline forecast utilized the following significant inputs over the two-year reasonable and supportable forecast period:
Unemployment - Rates are expected to improve to below 4% through the end of 2022 and stabilizing into early 2023.
GDP Growth - Peak growth of just under 7% in the fourth quarter of 2021, decreasing to below 3% in 2022 and thereafter.
Home Pricing Index - Growth rates of over 7% declining to below 4% over the forecast period.
Commercial Real Estate Index - Small forecasted downturn through the first half of 2022 and then improving to over 6% into 2023.
At September 30, 2021, the ACL allocated to non-PCD loans and leases was $164.8 million, or 0.51% of non-PCD loans and leases, compared to $200.3 million, or 0.62%, at December 31, 2020. The decrease of 11 basis points since December 31, 2020 was primarily due to increasescontinued strong credit performance, low net charge-offs, and improvement in the scopemacroeconomic factors. The ACL as a percentage of off-balance sheet exposures considered duenon-PCD loans and leases excluding SBA-PPP loans was 0.53% at September 30, 2021 compared to the provisions of ASC 326.
0.67% at December 31, 2020.

Table of Contents
At September 30, 2021, the ACL for PCD loans totaled $18.4 million compared to $24.0 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was due to paydowns and the decline in the portfolio coupled with the impact of improved macroeconomic factors.
In the period ended September 30, 2021, the ACL on our commercial portfolio decreased $8.2 million, with the largest share of the decrease within commercial real estate. The ACL on the consumer portfolio decreased $27.4 million, with decreases across all portfolios with the largest change in residential mortgages. These portfolios were largely impacted by the improvement in macroeconomic factors.
Net charge-offs for loans and leases were $4.8 million during the third quarter of 2021, compared to $2.6 million during the third quarter of 2020. On an annualized basis, total net charge-offs as a percentage of total average loans and leases was 0.06% and 0.03% for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The impact of SBA-PPP loans on average loans balances did not affect the net charge-off ratio in either period.
Net charge-offs for loans and leases were $9.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $17.4 million during the same period of 2020. On an annualized basis, total net charge-offs as a percentage of total average loans and leases was 0.04% and 0.07% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and leases and other real estate owned (“OREO”). At September 30, 2020,2021, BancShares’ nonperforming assets totaled $239.2$204.4 million, an increasea decrease of $71.0$37.9 million since December 31, 2019.2020.
Nonaccrual loans and leases at September 30, 20202021 were $186.5$163.8 million, reflecting an increasea decrease of $64.8$27.7 million since December 31, 2019.2020. Nonaccrual loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases was 0.57%0.50% and 0.42%0.58% at September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. Contributing to this increase was the dissolution of PCI loan pools under the adoption of ASC 326 as those nonaccrual loans within performing PCI pools were previously excluded from reporting. As of September 30, 2020, there were $27.5 million of nonaccrual loans that had been released from performing PCI pools. The remaining increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to increases within our acquired loan portfolios. The credit quality of the portfolio remains in line with our risk tolerances and management is actively monitoring any potential increases in portfolio risk due to COVID-19. At September 30, 2020,2021, OREO totaled $52.8$40.6 million, representing an increasea decrease of $6.2$10.2 million since December 31, 2019 due primarily to additions of OREO through acquisitions of $9.3 million.2020. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans, leases and OREO was 0.73%0.63% as of September 30, 20202021 compared to 0.58%0.74% as of December 31, 2019. The additional PCI nonaccrual loans and acquired OREO resulted in an increase of 11 basis points to the nonperforming assets ratio at September 30, 2020.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS
We selectively agree to modify existing loan terms to provide relief to customers who are experiencing financial difficulties or other circumstances that could affect their ability to meet debt obligations. Typical modifications include short-term deferral of interest or modification of payment terms. Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) not accruing interest at the time of restructure are included as nonperforming loans. TDRs accruing at the time of restructure and continuing to perform based on the restructured terms are considered performing loans.
The Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus was published by banking regulators in April 2020 to clarify accounting and reporting expectations for loan modifications in determining TDR designation for borrowers experiencing COVID-19-related financial difficulty. BancShares applied this regulatory guidance during its TDR identification process for short-term loan forbearance agreements as a result of COVID-19, and in most cases, is not recording these as TDRs.

Deposits
DueWe strive to our focus on maintainingmaintain a strong liquidity position, and therefore a focus on core deposit retention remains a key business objective. We believe traditional bank deposit products remain an attractive option for many customers, but, as evidenced by the significant deposit growth the industry has experienced over the past 18 months. As economic conditions improve, we recognize that our liquidity position could be adversely affected as bank deposits are withdrawn and invested elsewhere.withdrawn. Our ability to fund future loan growth is significantly dependent on our success at retaining existing deposits and generating new deposits at a reasonable cost.
At September 30, 2020,2021, total deposits were $42.25$50.1 billion, an increase of $7.82$6.6 billion, representing annualized growth of 30.3%20.4% since December 31, 2019. Excluding SBA-PPP deposits of $1.30 billion, total deposits increased $6.52 billion, or2020, driven by 25.3% annualized, over the same time period. This organic growth primarily occurred in demand and money market accounts, partially offset by a decline in time deposits.growth.

We are committed to effectively managing our capital to protect our depositors, creditors and shareholders. We continually monitor the capital levels and ratios for BancShares and FCB to ensure they exceed the minimum requirements imposed by regulatory authorities and to ensure they are appropriate given growth projections, risk profile and potential changes in the regulatory or external environment. Failure to meet certain capital requirements may result in actions by regulatory agencies that could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the unrealized gains and losses on certain assets and liabilities, net of deferred taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity. These amounts are excluded from shareholders’ equity in the calculation of our capital ratios under current regulatory guidelines.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk is inherent in any business. BancShares has defined a moderate risk appetite, a conservative approach to risk taking, with a philosophy that does not preclude higher risk business activities balanced with acceptable returns while meeting regulatory objectives. Through the comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Framework, senior management has primary responsibility for day-to-day management of the risks we face with accountability of and support from all associates. Senior management applies various strategies to reduce the risks to which BancShares activities may be exposed, with effective challenge and oversight by management committees. In addition, the Board of Directors strives to ensure that the business culture is integrated with the enterprise risk management program and that policies, procedures and metrics for identifying, assessing, measuring, monitoring and managing risk are part of the decision-making process. The Board of Directors’ role in risk oversight is an integral part of our overall Enterprise Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Framework. The Board of Directors administers its risk oversight function primarily through the Board Risk Committee.
61

Table of Contents
The Board Risk Committee structure is designed to allow for information flow, effective challenge and timely escalation of risk-related issues. The Board Risk Committee is directed to monitor and advise the Board of Directors regarding risk exposures, including credit, market, capital, liquidity, operational, compliance, strategic and reputational risks; review, approve, and monitor adherence to the risk appetite and supporting risk tolerance levels via a series of established metrics; and evaluate, monitor and oversee the adequacy and effectiveness of the Risk Management Framework and Risk Appetite Framework. The Board Risk Committee also reviews: reports of examination by and communications from regulatory agencies; the results of internal and third party testing and qualitative and quantitative assessments related to risk management; and any other matters within the scope of the Committee’s oversight responsibilities. The Board Risk Committee monitors management’s response to certain risk-related regulatory and audit issues. In addition, the Board Risk Committee may coordinate with the Audit Committee and the Compensation, Nominations and Governance Committee for the review of financial statements and related risks, information security and other areas of joint responsibility.
In combination with other risk management and monitoring practices, enterprise-wide stress testing activities are part of the Risk Management Framework and conducted within a defined framework. Stress tests are performed for various risks to ensure the financial institution can support continued operations during stressed periods.
In response to COVID-19, BancShares assembled a cross-functional leadership team to identify and manage newly identified risks and provide effective risk oversight through this pandemic. New or elevated risks have been identified in multiple areas, including but not limited to, operational risk, credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, capital adequacy risk, compliance risk, and financial reporting risk. As such, we have incorporated changes to Item 1A. Risk Factors within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to capture these changes. These new or increased areas

Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of not collecting payments pursuant to the contractual terms of loans, leases and certain investment securities. Loans and leases we originate are underwritten in accordance with our credit policies and procedures and are subject to periodic ongoing reviews. Acquired loans, regardless of whether PCD or non-PCD, are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date and are subject to periodic reviews to identify any further credit deterioration. Our independent credit review function conducts risk reviews and analyses of both originated and acquired loans to ensure compliance with credit policies and to monitor asset quality trends and borrower financial strength. These reviews include portfolio analysis by geographic location, industry, collateral type and product. We strive to identify potential problem loans as early as possible, to record charge-offs or write-downs as appropriate and to maintain an adequate ACL that accounts for expected credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio.
We arecontinue to actively monitoringmonitor our loan portfolio for areas of increased risk as a result of COVID-19. As of September 30, 2020,the COVID-19 related loan extensions decreasedpandemic and to approximately $466.6 milliondate have not seen any significant declines in outstanding loan balances, representing approximately $13.4 million in payment deferrals.credit quality. Through September 30, 2020,2021, over 94%99% of all COVID-19 related loan extensions have begun repayment. Delinquency trends among loans entering repayment are in line with the remainder of the portfolio. We have not seen significant declines in overall credit quality, though the impact of the SBA-PPP and payment extensions could be delaying signs of credit deterioration.
Additionally, we are participatingparticipated in both rounds of funding in the SBA-PPP program, which provided much needed funds to our existing small business customers, and we continue to assess both the credit and operational risks this program presents.customers. At September 30, 2021, BancShares originated approximately 23,000had $1.1 billion in SBA-PPP loans with an outstanding balance of $3.11 billion at September 30, 2020.
Our ACL estimate for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 included extensive reviews of the changes in credit risk associated with the loan portfolio and uncertainties around economic forecasts and the overall economic impact of COVID-19. Expected loss estimates within each portfolio considered the potential impact of slower economic activity with elevated unemployment, as well as potential mitigating impact from the government stimulus and loan modification programs. These loss estimates additionally considered BancShares industry and geography risk, historically strong credit quality and actual net losses incurred during prior periods of economic stress, as well as recent credit trends, which have not seen significant deterioration from COVID-19 as of September 30, 2020.outstanding.
Interest rate risk management
Interest rate risk (“IRR”) results principally from: assets and liabilities maturing or repricing at different points in time, assets and liabilities repricing at the same point in time but in different amounts, and short-term and long-term interest rates changing in different magnitudes.
62

Table of Contents
We assess our short-term IRR by forecasting net interest income over 24 months under various interest rate scenarios and comparing those results to forecasted net interest income, assuming stable rates. IRR scenarios modeled include, but are not limited to, immediate, parallel rate shocks, interest rate ramps, changes in the shape of the yield curve and changes in the relationships of our rates to market rates. Market interest rates declined significantly fromhave increased since year-end, driven by improving economic uncertainty brought on by COVID-19. Net interest income deterioration in down rate shocks will remain muted due to the low absolute value of market interest rates. Assumptions that incorporate customer migration from low rate deposit instruments to intermediate term fixed rate instruments as rates rise have been adjusted based on actual deposit behavior over the last 3 years during a rising rate cycle.conditions.

The increased asset sensitivity in net
Net interest income sensitivity metrics as of September 30, 20202021 remain largely unchanged when compared to December 31, 2019 continues to be affected by the substantial influx of non-maturity deposits that began in the second quarter of 2020 and continued through the third quarter of 2020.

Long-term interest rate risk exposure is measured using the economic value of equity (“EVE”) sensitivity analysis to study the impact of long-term cash flows on earnings and capital. EVE represents the difference between the sum of the present value of all asset cash flows and the sum of the present value of the liability cash flows. EVE sensitivity analysis involves discounting cash flows of balance sheet items under different interest rate scenarios. Cash flows will vary by interest rate scenario, resulting in variations in EVE. The base-case measurement and its sensitivity to shifts in the yield curve allow management to measure longer-term repricing and option risk in the balance sheet.

The economic value of equity metrics at September 30, 20202021 compared to December 31, 20192020 were primarily affected by continuedongoing growth in non-maturity deposits of nearly $1.0 billion during the third quarter of 2020 on top of the $6.5 billion increase during the second quarter of 2020. During the third quarter, we implemented assumption changes as a result of an updated core deposit study.2021, coupled with higher market interest rates. We do not typically utilize interest rate swaps, floors, collars or other derivative financial instruments to hedge our overall balance sheet interest rate sensitivity and risk.

LIBOR Transition

In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced that after 2021 it would no longer compel banks to submit the rates required to calculate the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Subsequent announcements have delayed the potential date for certain LIBOR tenors until June 30, 2023.

We continue to transition away from LIBOR in order to cease issuance of loans indexed to LIBOR by December 31, 2021. Conforming and nonconforming adjustable rate mortgage originations transitioned to alternative rates in 2020. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee has proposed the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the preferred alternative to LIBOR. We have introduced SOFR as an alternative rate for other business lines in mid-2021. We do not expect a material financial impact to BancShares or our customers from this transition.

Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that an institution will be unable to generate or obtain sufficient cash or its equivalents on a cost-effective basis to meet commitments as they fall due. The most common sources of liquidity risk arise from mismatches in the timing and value of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet cash inflows and outflows. In general, on-balance sheet mismatches generate liquidity risk when the effective maturity of assets exceeds the effective maturity of liabilities. A commonly cited example of a balance sheet liquidity mismatch is when long-term loans (assets) are funded with short-term borrowings (liabilities). Other forms of liquidity risk include market constraints on the ability to convert assets into cash at expected levels, an inability to access funding sources at sufficient levels at a reasonable cost, and changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operational, legal and reputation risks that can affect an institution’s liquidity risk profile.
We utilize various limit-based measures to monitor, measure and control three different categories of liquidity risk:
Tactical - Measures the risk of a negative cash flow position whereby cash outflows exceed cash inflows over a short-term horizon out to nine weeks;
63

Table of Contents
Structural - Measures the amount by which illiquid assets are supported by long-term funding; and
Contingent - Measures the risk of having insufficient liquidity sources to support cash needs under potential future stressed market conditions or having an inability to access wholesale funding sources in a timely and cost effective manner.
We aim to maintain a diverse mix of liquidity sources to support the liquidity management function, while aiming to avoid funding concentrations by diversifying our external funding with respect to maturities, counterparties and nature. Our primary funding source of liquidity is our branch-generated retail deposit portfolio due to the generally stable balances and low cost. Additional sourcesSources of liquidity include cash in excess of our reserve requirement at the Federal Reserve Bank, and various other corresponding bank accounts and unencumbered securities, which totaled $8.51$15.1 billion at September 30, 20202021 compared to $3.57$9.6 billion at December 31, 2019.2020. Another source of available funds wasis advances from the FHLB of Atlanta and Chicago.Atlanta. Outstanding FHLB advances were $655.2$645.7 million as of September 30, 2020,2021, and we had sufficient collateral pledged to secure $7.54$8.5 billion of additional borrowings from the FHLB of Atlanta. Also, at September 30, 2020, $3.972021, $4.6 billion in non-PCD loans with a lendable collateral value of $3.21$3.8 billion were used to create additional borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank. We also maintain Federal Funds lines and other credit lines, which had $625.0$556.0 million of available capacity at September 30, 2020.2021.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In the normal course of business, we are a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, which we enter into in order to meet the financing needs of our customers. These off-balance sheet instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. For more information on these commitments, see Note N - Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Except as described below, thereThere have been no significant changes in our Critical Accounting Estimates as described in our 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.Report.

Allowance for credit losses - The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases replaces the allowance for loan and leases losses as a critical accounting estimate, asTable of January 1, 2020 with the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.Contents
The allowance for credit losses represents management’s best estimate of current expected credit losses over the life of the portfolio of loan and leases. Estimating credit losses requires judgment in determining loan specific attributes impacting the borrower’s ability to repay contractual obligations. Other factors such as economic forecasts used to determine a reasonable and supportable forecast, prepayment assumptions, the value of underlying collateral, and changes in size composition and risks within the portfolio are also considered.
The allowance for credit losses is assessed at each balance sheet date and adjustments are recorded in the provision for credit losses. The allowance is estimated based on loan level characteristics using historical loss rates, a reasonable and supportable economic forecast with reversion to historical assumptions. Loan losses are estimated using the fair value of collateral for collateral-dependent loans, or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty such that repayment of the loan is expected to be made through the operation or sale of the collateral. Loan balances considered uncollectible are charged-off against the ACL. Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the ACL.
PCD assets represent assets that are acquired with evidence of more than insignificant credit quality deterioration since origination at the acquisition date. At acquisition, the allowance for credit losses on PCD assets is booked directly the ACL. Any subsequent changes in the ACL on PCD assets is recorded through the provision for credit losses.
Management believes that the ACL is adequate to absorb the expected life of loan credit losses on the portfolio of loans and leases as of the balance sheet date. Actual losses incurred may differ materially from our estimates. Particularly, the impact of COVID-19 on both borrower credit and the greater macroeconomic environment is uncertain and changes in the duration, spread and severity of the virus will affect our loss experience.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the potential economic loss resulting from changes in market prices and interest rates. This risk can either result in diminished current fair values of financial instruments or reduced net interest income in future periods. AsSee the sections entitled “Risk Management” and “Results of September 30, 2020, BancShares’ market risk profile has changed since December 31, 2019 as discussed in the Form 10-K as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19 during 2020. See section Risk ManagementOperations” within Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operationsthis Quarterly Report for discussion of changes.changes, which are incorporated herein by reference. Changes in fair value that result from movement in market rates cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. Therefore, the impact that future changes in market rates will have on the fair values of financial instruments is uncertain.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
BancShares’ management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of BancShares’ disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, in accordance with RuleRules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”).Act. Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that BancShares’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that it is able to record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner the information required to be disclosed in the reports it files under the Exchange Act.
During the first quarter of 2020, BancShares adopted ASC 326 which resulted in a material change to our methodology for estimating credit losses on the loan portfolio. As a result, the Company implemented changes to policies, processes, and controls over estimating the allowance for credit losses. Many of these controls are similar to those previously used for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses under legacy GAAP, however, there were changes implemented to account for the additional complexity of the credit loss models, review of economic forecasts and other assumptions used in the estimation process.
During the second quarter of 2020, BancShares originated over $3.2 billion of loans as part of the SBA-PPP. As a result, BancShares enhanced existing as well as implemented new controls over financial reporting related to the origination, disbursement, recording and reporting processes involving this portfolio.
Except as noted above, noNo changes in BancShares’ internal control over financial reporting occurred during the third quarter of 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, BancShares’ internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
BancShares and various subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various legal actions arising from our normal business activities in which damages in various amounts were claimed. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to those matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of management, no legal actions currently exist that are expected to have a material effect on BancShares’ consolidated financial statements. Additional information relating to legal proceedings is set forth in Note N - Commitments and Contingencies.Contingencies, which information is incorporated by reference into this item.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following paragraphs describeThere have been no material changes in thefrom risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
An outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely affected BancShares' business, financial condition and results of operations.
A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has spread across most of the world, including the United States beginning in the first quarter of 2020. It has caused severe disruptions to the US economy, regional quarantines, business shutdowns, high unemployment, disruptions to supply chains, and overall economic instability that has adversely impacted the operations, activities and business of BancShares and its customers. Effects have generally been felt across all industries; however, the industries that have been the most negatively impacted to date include hospitality, travel and tourism, retail, medical and dental, and financial services.
In response to the national public health crisis, Federal, State and Local governments continue to impose an array of restrictions on the way all businesses conduct their operations and on our customers, business partners, vendors and employees. These restrictions, along with other economic factors including inflationThe risks oil price volatility, and changes in interest rates have and may continue to destabilize financial markets and negatively impact our customers’ business activities and operations, making it difficult for them to satisfy existing debt obligations. They also have led to elevated unemployment and slower consumer spending which in turn will increase our collection risk as deteriorating economic conditions correlate with lower credit quality metrics and higher customer defaults on loans. Economic pressures and uncertainty has and may continue to change consumer and business behaviors, which, in the short and long term, could affect borrowers’ creditworthiness and the demand for loans and other products and services we offer. BancShares is actively monitoring the loan portfolio to identify changes in credit risk within a specific geography, loan class, or within a particular industry concentration. Therefore, provision expense could increase as we incorporate these changes into our estimate on the allowance for credit losses.
Additionally, our operations have experienced disruptions as we operate in a remote working environment for most corporate employees and we have adjusted branch operations and corporate processes. With continued uncertainty around outbreak severity within impacted areas, there may be increased absenteeism, and lost productivity as a result of the remote workforce. We may see an increased incidence of cybersecurity threats or fraud as cyber-criminals look to profit from the disruption and potential strain on information technology and the fear of the general public. There may be disruption in critical third party services as they adjust to the new operating environment. BancShares has a comprehensive business continuity and data security plan in place butdescribed may not be ablethe only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to mitigate all of the issues identified above.
Market volatility and general uncertainty in the capital marketsus or that are currently considered to not be material also may also impact our business. Our access to capital and liquidity could be limited by market disruptions which could be exacerbated by delays in customer payments or significant withdrawals from customer deposit accounts. In addition, the fair value of our assets and liabilities will be impacted by the changing market environment. This could also increase liquidity and capital adequacy risks, as well as long-lived asset impairment risk.
As the government and its regulatory bodies respond to the crisis, it increases the burden on our associates to quickly respond to changing regulatory guidance. This could increase the risk of noncompliance.
The impacts laid out above and others will be felt across all of the following categories of risk identified by BancShares in our Annual Report on Form 10-K:
Operational Risk
Credit Risk
Market Risk
Liquidity Risk
Capital Adequacy Risk
Compliance Risk

Table of Contents
Strategic Risk
Financial Reporting Risk
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will heighten specific risk factors and could impact substantially all risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under the risk categories listed above. Those effects willmaterially adversely affect our business, operations and results at least until the outbreak has subsided, and the negative effects on the economy, our customers and our business and results likely will continue to be felt for some time afterwards. The full extent of the impact will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain including the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, governmental actions to contain the virus, and the long term economic impact, both globally, as well as in our banking markets, which includes a potential recession. As a result, we currently cannot fully assess the risk and adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the effects may have a material impact on our business and financial results and heighten many of the individual risk factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Transaction with CIT
As a result of us entering into the Merger Agreement, certain new risk factors have been identified. These risks and the other risks associated with the Transaction will be more fully discussed in the joint proxy statement/prospectus that will be included in the registration statement on Form S-4 that we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Transaction.
Merger-Related Risk
The consummation of the Transaction is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals, that may be outside of our condition and/or CIT's control and that we and CIT may be unable to satisfy or obtain or which may delay the consummation of the Transaction or result in the imposition of conditions that could reduce the anticipated benefits from the Transaction or cause the parties to abandon the Transaction.
Consummation of the Transaction is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, some of which are beyond our and CIT's control, including, among others:
approval of the Merger Agreement by CIT’s shareholders and the approval by our shareholders of the issuance of the shares of our common stock to be issued in First-Step Merger;
authorization for listing on Nasdaq of the shares of our capital stock to be issued in the First-Step Merger, subject to official notice of issuance;
the receipt of required domestic and foreign regulatory approvals, including, among others, the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks;
effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 for our common stock to be issued in the First-Step Merger; and
the absence of any order, injunction, decree or other legal restraint preventing the completion of the Mergers or making the completion of the Transaction illegal.
Each party's obligation to complete the Transaction is also subject to certain additional customary conditions, including, among others:
subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party;
performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement; and
receipt by each party of an opinion from its counsel to the effect that the Mergers will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
These conditions to the closing of the Transaction may not be fulfilled in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the Transaction may be delayed substantially or may not be completed. In addition, the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time, before or after receipt of the requisite approvals by our or CIT's shareholders, or we or CIT may elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances.
As a condition to granting required regulatory approvals, governmental entities may impose conditions, limitations or costs, require divestitures or place restrictions on our conduct after the closing of the Transaction. Such conditions or changes and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could, among other things, have the effect of delaying completion of the Transaction or of imposing additional costs or limitations on us following the Transaction, any of which may have an adverse effect on us following the Transaction.operating results.

We and CIT may also be subject to lawsuits challenging the Transaction, and adverse rulings in these lawsuits may delay or prevent the Transaction from being completed or require us or CIT to incur significant costs to defend or settle these lawsuits. Any delay in completing the Transaction could cause us not to realize, or to be delayed in realizing, some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the Transaction is successfully completed within its expected time frame.
We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Transaction, or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. We may also encounter significant difficulties in integrating with CIT.
We and CIT have operated and, until the completion of the Transaction, will continue to operate, independently. The success of the Transaction, including anticipated benefits and cost savings, will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully integrate CIT’s operations in a manner that results in various benefits and that does not materially disrupt existing customer relationships or result in decreased revenues due to loss of customers. The process of integrating operations could result in a loss of key personnel or cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of the combined company's businesses. Inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies could adversely affect the combined company. The diversion of management's attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the Transaction and the integration of CIT's operations could have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition, operating results and prospects of the combined company.
If we experience difficulties in the integration process, including those listed above, we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction in a timely manner or at all.
While the Transaction is pending, we will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions that could adversely affect our business and operations.
Uncertainty about the effect of the Transaction on employees, customers and other persons with whom we or CIT have a business relationship may have an adverse effect on our business, operations and stock price. Our existing customers or existing customers of CIT could decide to no longer do business with us, CIT or the combined company, reducing the anticipated benefits of the Transaction. We and CIT are also subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our respective businesses while the Transaction is pending. As a result, certain other projects may be delayed or abandoned, and business decisions could be deferred. Employee retention at BancShares and CIT may be challenging before or after completion of the Transaction, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company, and these retention challenges may require us to incur additional expenses in order to retain key employees. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with us, CIT or the combined company, the benefits of the Transaction could be materially diminished.
We expect to incur substantial expenses related to the Transaction and the integration with CIT.
We and CIT will incur substantial expenses in connection with the Transaction and integration. There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated. While we have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred, there are many factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration expenses. Moreover, many of the expenses that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate accurately. These expenses could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that we expect to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of scale. The amount and timing of any charges to earnings as a result of Transaction or integration expenses are uncertain at present.
Our future results will suffer if we do not effectively manage our expanded operations following the Transaction.
Following the Transaction, the size and geographic and operational scope of our business will increase significantly beyond its current size and scope. Our future success depends, in part, upon the ability to manage this expanded business, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in this regard or that we will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings and other benefits currently anticipated from the Transaction.
