Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “BPFH”), is a bank holding company (the “Holding Company”) with four reportable segments: Private Banking, Wealth Management and Trust, Investment Management, and Wealth Advisory.

The Private Banking segment is comprised of the banking operations of Boston Private Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank” or “Boston Private Bank”), a trust company chartered by The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On July 28, 2017, Boston Private Bank became a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Boston Private Bank currently operates in three geographic markets: New England, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California.

In June 2016, the Bank entered into a definitive agreement to sell two of its offices in the Southern California market, located in Granada Hills and Burbank, California. Certain assets identified as part of the sale of $0.9 million are included in assets held for sale, which is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016. Certain deposits identified as part of the sale of $105.8 million are included in deposits held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016.

The Wealth Management and Trust segment is comprised of the operations of Boston Private Wealth LLC (“Boston Private Wealth”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boston Private Bank, and the trust operations of Boston Private Bank. The segment offers investment management, wealth management, family office, and trust services to individuals, families, and institutions. The Wealth Management and Trust segment operates in New England; South Florida; ~~Texas;~~ California; and Madison, ~~Wisconsin; and the Washington, D.C. area.~~Wisconsin.

The Investment Management segment has two consolidated affiliates, consisting of Dalton, Greiner, Hartman, Maher & Co., LLC (“DGHM”) and Anchor Capital Advisors, LLC (“Anchor”) (together, the “Investment Managers”).

The Wealth Advisory segment has two consolidated affiliates, consisting of KLS Professional Advisors Group, LLC (“KLS”) and Bingham, Osborn & Scarborough, LLC (“BOS”) (together, the “Wealth Advisors” and, together with the Wealth Management and Trust and Investment Management segments, the “Wealth and Investment businesses”).

The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its four reportable segments. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and include all necessary adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are required for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The interim results of consolidated operations are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Prior period amounts are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period presentation.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016, as filed with the SEC. For interim reporting purposes, the Company follows the same significant accounting ~~policies.~~policies, except for the new accounting pronouncements from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) that were adopted effective January 1, 2017, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), and ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2016-09 had no cumulative effect on prior periods, and for cash flow purposes the provisions were adopted prospectively. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04 as of January 1, 2017, and the adoption of ASU 2017-04 could increase or decrease the amount of a goodwill impairment charge should any of the Company’s reporting units with goodwill fail a Step 1 test in the future, as compared to the amount of a goodwill impairment charge under the existing standards depending on the fair value of the reporting unit’s assets.

(1)

See Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 14: Noncontrolling Interests” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016 for a description of the redemption values related to the redeemable noncontrolling interests. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), an increase in redemption value from period to period reduces income attributable to common shareholders. Decreases in redemption value from period to period increase income attributable to common shareholders, but only to the extent that the cumulative change in redemption value remains a cumulative increase since adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2009.

value from period to period increase income attributable to common shareholders, but only to the extent that the cumulative change in redemption value remains a cumulative increase since adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2009.

(2)

The Company presents its EPS based on the treasury stock method. The Company reverted to the treasury stock presentation from the two-class presentation due to the immaterial number of participating shares outstanding as of March 31, 2016. If the EPS presentation had been based on the two-class method, the following adjustments would have been made to the presentation of EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Net income attributable to common shareholders would have been reduced by an additional $4 thousand, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, with no change for the three month period then ended. The allocation of net income to participating securities would have been $1 thousand and $7 thousand, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, reducing net income attributable to common shareholders by a total of $1 thousand and $11 thousand, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Basic EPS would not change. Weighted average diluted shared outstanding would have been reduced by 3,809 shares and 13,477 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Diluted EPS would not change.

If the EPS presentation had been based on the two-class method, the following adjustments would have been made to the presentation of EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net income attributable to common shareholders would have been reduced by an additional $5 thousand and $85 thousand, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and the allocation of net income to participating securities would have been $8 thousand and $91 thousand, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, reducing net income attributable to common shareholders by a total of $13 thousand and $176 thousand, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Basic EPS would decrease by $0.01 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, with no change for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding would have been reduced by 69,218 shares and 211,108 shares, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Diluted EPS would not change.

~~(3)~~

The diluted EPS computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015~~2016 do not assume the conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of the following shares for the following periods because the result would have been anti-dilutive for the periods indicated. As a result of the anti-dilution, the potential common shares excluded from the diluted EPS computation are as follows:


	Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,		Three months ended September 30,		Nine months ended September 30,
	2016	2015	2016	2015	2017	2016	2017	2016

of these securities prior to the full recovery of all unrealized loss amounts. Subsequent to September 30, 2016 and through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no securities were downgraded to below investment grade, nor were any securities in an unrealized loss position sold.

Cost method investments, which are included in other assets, can be temporarily impaired when the fair values decline below the amortized costs of the individual investments. There were no cost method investments with unrealized losses as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 or December 31, ~~2015~~.2016. The Company’s cost method investments primarily include low income housing partnerships which generate tax credits. The Company also holds partnership interests in venture capital funds formed to provide financing to small businesses and to promote community development. The Company had ~~$35.4~~$40.4 million and ~~$27.7~~$34.2 million in cost method investments included in other assets as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015~~,2016, respectively.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined under GAAP as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Financial instruments are considered Level 1 when valuation can be based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 financial instruments are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or models using inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data of substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable and when determination of the fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

As of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, available-for-sale securities consisted primarily of U.S. government and agencies securities, government-sponsored entities securities, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and other available-for-sale securities. The equities (which are categorized as other available-for-sale securities) are valued with prices quoted in active markets. ~~Five~~The U.S. Treasury securities at(which are categorized as U.S. government and agencies securities), as of both September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~three U.S. Treasury securities at~~ December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, are valued with prices quoted in active markets. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 1 measurement. The government-sponsored entities securities, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and certain investments in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans (which are categorized as U.S. government and agencies securities) generally have quoted prices but are traded less frequently than exchange-traded securities and can be priced using market data from similar assets. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 2 measurement. No investments held atas of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 or December 31, ~~2015~~2016 were categorized as Level 3. There were no changes in the valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value of available-for-sale securities in the ~~three and~~ nine month periods ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 or ~~2015.~~2016.

~~The~~In managing its interest rate risk, the Company ~~uses~~utilizes derivative instruments such as interest rate customer swaps, interest rate swaps, and risk participation ~~agreements, and~~agreements. As a ~~junior subordinated debenture interest rate swap~~service to ~~manage~~ its ~~interest rate risk, and~~customers, the Company may utilize derivative instruments such as customer foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its foreign exchange risk, if any. ~~The junior subordinated debenture interest rate swap agreement matured on December 30, 2015.~~ The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 2 measurement as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements-Note 8: Derivatives and Hedging Activities” for further details.

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. Counterparty exposure is evaluated by netting positions that are subject to master netting agreements, as well as considering the amount of collateral securing the position.

The Company has determined that the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, although the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of

BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

Other investments, which are not considered available-for-sale investments, consist of deferred compensation trusts, which consist of publicly traded mutual fund investments that are valued at prices quoted in active markets. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 1 measurement as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

Impaired loans include those loans that were adjusted to the fair value of underlying collateral as required under ASC 310, Receivables. The amount does not include impaired loans that are measured based on expected future cash flows discounted at the respective loan’s original effective interest rate, as that amount is not considered a fair value measurement. The Company uses appraisals, which management may adjust to reflect estimated fair value declines, or apply other discounts to appraised values for unobservable factors resulting from its knowledge of the property or consideration of broker quotes. The appraisers use a market, income, and/or a cost approach in determining the value of the collateral. Therefore they have been categorized as a Level 3 measurement.

The following tables present the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring ~~basis (other than certain loans, as noted below):~~basis:

The estimated fair values have been determined by using available quoted market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. The aggregate fair value amounts presented above do not represent the underlying value of the financial assets and liabilities to the Company taken as a ~~whole.~~whole as they do not reflect any premium or discount the Company might recognize if the asset were sold or the liability sold, settled or redeemed. An excess of fair value over book value on financial assets represents a premium, or gain, the Company might recognize if the asset were sold, while an excess of book value over fair value on financial liabilities represents a premium, or gain, the company might recognize if the liability were ~~sold.~~sold, settled, or redeemed prior to maturity. Conversely, losses would be recognized if an asset was sold where the book value exceeded the fair value or a liability was sold where the fair value exceeded the book value.

The fair value estimates provided are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and the characteristics of the financial instrument. The estimates do not provide for any premiums or discounts that could result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument. Because no active market exists for some of the Company’s financial instruments, certain fair value estimates are based on subjective judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of the financial instruments, future expected loss experience, prepayment assumptions, and other factors. The resulting estimates involve uncertainties and are considered best estimates. Changes made to any of the underlying assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying value reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of their maturities and are classified as Level 1.

Held-to-maturity investment securities

Held-to-maturity securities currently include mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities. ~~All~~The U.S. Treasury securities as of September 30, 2017 are valued with prices quoted in active markets. Therefore, they have been categorized as a Level 1 measurement. There were no U.S. Treasury securities held-to-maturity as of December 31, 2016. The mortgage-backed securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but may be traded in active markets. The fair value of these securities is based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services. The principal market for our securities portfolio is the secondary institutional market, with an exit price that is predominantly reflective of bid level pricing in that market. Accordingly, these held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities are included in the Level 2 fair value category.

Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Fair value estimates are based on actual commitments to sell the loans to investors at an agreed upon price or current market prices if rates have changed since the time the loan closed. Accordingly, loans held for sale are included in the Level 2 fair value category.

~~BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)~~

Loans, net

Fair value estimates are based on loans with similar financial characteristics. Fair values of commercial and residential mortgage loans are estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates and using discount rates approximately equal to current market rates on loans with similar credit and interest rate characteristics and maturities. The fair value estimates for home equity and other loans are based on outstanding loan terms and pricing in the local markets. The method of estimating the fair value of the loans disclosed in the table above does not incorporate the exit price concept in the presentation of the fair value of these financial instruments. Net loans are included in the Level 3 fair value category based upon the inputs and valuation techniques used.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets consist of accrued interest and fees receivable, and stock in the Federal Home Loan ~~Banks~~Bank (“~~FHLBs”~~FHLB”)~~, other assets held for sale,~~ and the ~~cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance,~~Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB"), for which the carrying amount approximates fair value, and are classified as Level 2.

Deposits

The fair values reported for transaction accounts (demand, NOW, savings, and money market) equal their respective book values reported on the balance sheets and are classified as Level 2. The fair values disclosed are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values for certificates of deposit are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates used are representative of approximate rates currently offered on certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities and are classified as Level 2.

~~Deposits held for sale~~

The deposits held for sale at September 30, 2016 relate to the two banking offices in Southern California for which the Bank has entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to this Agreement, the Bank will transfer certain depository accounts of these offices to the purchaser. The fair value reported for deposits held for sale was estimated based on the deposit premium to be paid by the acquirer per the Agreement and the amount and type of deposits outstanding as of September 30, 2016. The actual premium will be updated based on the average deposits prior to the close. Accordingly, deposits held for sale are included in the Level 2 fair value category.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase

The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is estimated based on contractual cash flows discounted at the Bank’s incremental borrowing rate for FHLB borrowings with similar maturities and therefore these securities have been classified as Level 2.

Federal funds purchased

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and therefore these funds have been classified as Level 2.

Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings

The fair value reported for FHLB borrowings is estimated based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used is based on the Bank’s estimated current incremental borrowing rate for FHLB borrowings of similar maturities and therefore these borrowings have been classified as Level 2.

Junior subordinated debentures

The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures issued by Boston Private Capital Trust I and Boston Private Capital Trust II were estimated using Level 3 inputs such as the interest rates on these securities, current rates for similar debt, a consideration for illiquidity of trading in the debt, and regulatory changes that would result in an unfavorable change in the regulatory capital treatment of this type of debt.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities consist of accrued interest payable for which the carrying amount approximates fair value and is classified as Level 2.

~~BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)~~

Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk

The Bank’s commitments to originate loans and for unused lines and outstanding letters of credit are primarily at market interest rates and therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

6. Loan Portfolio and Credit Quality

The Bank’s lending activities are conducted principally in the regions of New England, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California. The Bank originates single and multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, commercial tax exempt loans, construction and land loans, and home equity and other consumer loans. Most loans are secured by borrowers’ personal or business assets. The ability of the Bank’s single family residential and consumer borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic conditions within the Bank’s lending areas. Commercial, construction, and land borrowers’ ability to repay is generally dependent upon the health of the economy and real estate values, including, in particular, the performance of the construction sector. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changing conditions in the New England, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California economies and real estate markets.

Total loans include deferred loan origination (fees)/ costs, net, of ~~$6.3~~$7.1 million and ~~$5.6~~$5.9 million as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, respectively.

The following table presents a summary of the loan portfolio ~~based on the~~by portfolio segment and class of receivable as of the dates indicated:

The Bank’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on a loan when the collectability of principal or interest is in doubt. In certain instances, although infrequent, loans that have become 90 days or more past due may remain on accrual status if the value of the collateral securing the loan is sufficient to cover principal and interest and the loan is in the process of collection. There were no loans 90 days or more past due, but still accruing as of both September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. The Bank’s policy for returning a loan to accrual status requires the loan to be brought current and for the client to show a history of making timely payments (generally six consecutive months). For troubled debt restructured loans (“TDRs”), a return

to accrual status generally requires timely payments for a period of six months in accordance with the restructured loan terms, along with meeting other criteria.

Nonaccrual and delinquent loans are affected by many factors, such as economic and business conditions, interest rates, unemployment levels, and real estate collateral values, among others. In periods of prolonged economic decline, borrowers may become more severely affected over time as liquidity levels decline and the borrower’s ability to continue to make payments deteriorates. With respect to real estate collateral values, the declines from the peak, as well as the value of the real estate at the time of origination versus the current value, can impact the level of problem loans. For instance, if the loan to value ratio at the time of renewal has increased due to the decline in the real estate value since origination, the loan may no longer meet the Bank’s underwriting standards and may be considered for classification as a problem loan dependent upon a review of risk factors.

Generally when a collateral dependent loan becomes impaired, an updated appraisal of the collateral, if appropriate, is obtained. If the impaired loan has not been upgraded to a performing status within a reasonable amount of time, the Bank will continue to obtain updated appraisals as deemed necessary, especially during periods of declining property values.

The past due status of a loan is determined in accordance with its contractual repayment terms. All loan types are reported past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 days or more.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Bank uses a risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio. Loan classifications are assessments made by the Bank of the status of the loans based on the facts and circumstances known to the Bank, including management’s judgment, at the time of assessment. Some or all of these classifications may change in the future if there are unexpected changes in the financial condition of the borrower, including but not limited to, changes resulting from continuing deterioration in general economic conditions on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Bank operates adversely affecting, among other things, real estate values. Such conditions, as well as other factors which adversely affect borrowers’ ability to service or repay loans, typically result in changes in loan default and charge-off rates, and increased provisions for loan losses, which would adversely affect the Company’s financial performance and financial condition. These circumstances are not entirely foreseeable and, as a result, it may not be possible to accurately reflect them in the Company’s analysis of credit risk. Generally, only commercial loans, including commercial real estate, other commercial and industrial loans, commercial tax exempt loans, and construction and land loans, are given a numerical grade.

A summary of the rating system used by the Bank, repeated here from Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, follows:

Pass - All loans graded as pass are considered acceptable credit quality by the Bank and are grouped for purposes of calculating the allowance for loan losses. ~~Generally, only commercial loans, including commercial real estate, commercial and industrial loans, and construction and land loans are given a numerical grade.~~ For residential, home equity and consumer loans, the Bank classifies loans as pass unless there is known information such as delinquency or client requests for modifications which, due to financial difficulty, would then generally result in a risk rating such as special mention or more severe depending on the factors.

Special Mention - Loans rated in this category are defined as having potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may, at some future date, result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit or the Bank’s credit position. These loans are currently protected but have the potential to deteriorate to a substandard rating. For commercial loans, the borrower’s financial performance may be inconsistent or below forecast, creating the possibility of liquidity problems and shrinking debt service coverage. In loans having this rating, the primary source of repayment is still good, but there is increasing reliance on collateral or guarantor support. Collectability of the loan is not yet in jeopardy. In particular, loans in this category are considered more variable than other categories, since they will typically migrate through categories more quickly.

Substandard - Loans rated in this category are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. A substandard credit has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Substandard loans may be either still accruing or nonaccruing depending upon the severity of the risk and other factors such as the value of the collateral, if any, and past due status.

Doubtful - Loans rated in this category indicate that collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, is highly questionable and improbable. Loans in this category are usually on nonaccrual and classified as impaired.

The following tables present the loan portfolio’s credit risk profile by internally assigned grade and class of receivable as of the dates indicated:

_____________________


(1)	Recorded investment represents the client loan balance net of historical charge-offs and historical nonaccrual interest paid, which was applied to principal.

When management determines that it is probable that the Bank will not collect all principal and interest on a loan in accordance with the original loan terms, the loan is designated as impaired.

Loans that are designated as impaired require an analysis to determine the amount of impairment, if any. Impairment would be indicated as a result of the carrying value of the loan exceeding the estimated collateral value, less costs to sell, for collateral dependent loans or the net present value of the projected cash flow, discounted at the loan’s contractual effective interest rate, for loans not considered to be collateral dependent. Generally, shortfalls in the analysis on collateral dependent loans would result in the impairment amount being charged-off to the allowance for loan losses. Shortfalls on cash flow dependent loans may be carried as specific allocations to the general reserve unless a known loss is determined to have occurred, in which case such known loss is charged-off.

Loans in the held for sale category are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate and are excluded from the allowance for loan losses analysis.

The Bank may, under certain circumstances, restructure loans as a concession to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. Such loans are classified as TDRs and are included in impaired loans. TDRs typically result from the Bank’s loss mitigation activities which, among other things, could include rate reductions, payment extensions, and/or principal forgiveness. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, TDRs totaled $30.6 million. As of September 30, 2016, $26.1 million of the $30.6 million in TDRs were on accrual status. As of December 31, 2015, $18.6 million of the $30.6 million in TDRs were on accrual status.

forgiveness. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, TDRs totaled $14.7 million and $18.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, $11.5 million of the $14.7 million in TDRs were on accrual status. As of December 31, 2016, $12.4 million of the $18.1 million in TDRs were on accrual status.

Since all TDR loans are considered impaired loans, they are individually evaluated for impairment. The resulting impairment, if any, would have an impact on the allowance for loan losses as a specific reserve or charge-off. If, prior to the classification as a TDR, the loan was not impaired, there would have been a general or allocated reserve on the particular loan. Therefore, depending upon the result of the impairment analysis, there could be an increase or decrease in the related allowance for loan losses. Many loans initially categorized as TDRs are already on nonaccrual status and are already considered impaired. Therefore, there is generally not a material change to the allowance for loan losses when a nonaccruing loan is categorized as a TDR.

The following tables present the balance of TDRs that were restructured or defaulted during the periods indicated and the types of concessions granted:

~~_____________________~~


~~(1)~~	~~As of December 31, 2015, the unallocated reserve was allocated to the qualitative factors as part of the general reserves (ASC 450).~~

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the inherent risk of loss in the loan portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet dates. Management estimates the level of the allowance based on all relevant information available. Changes to the required level in the allowance result in either a provision for loan loss expense, if an increase is required, or a credit to the provision, if a decrease is required. Loan losses are charged to the allowance when available information confirms that specific loans, or portions thereof, are uncollectible. Recoveries on loans previously charged-off are credited to the allowance when received in cash.

The provision/ (credit) for loan losses and related balance in the allowance for loan losses for tax exempt commercial and industrial loans are included with commercial and industrial. The provision/ (credit) for loan losses and related balance in the allowance for loan losses for tax exempt commercial real estate loans are included with commercial real estate. There were no charge-offs or recoveries, for any period presented, for both commercial and industrial and commercial real estate tax exempt loans.

The following tables present the Company’s allowance for loan losses and loan portfolio at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015~~2016 by portfolio segment, disaggregated by method of impairment analysis. The Company had no loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 or December 31, ~~2015~~2016.

8. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and, to a lesser extent, the use of derivative financial instruments. Additionally, as a service to its customers, the Company may utilize derivative instruments such as customer foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its foreign exchange risk, if any. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are generally determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain loans, deposits, and borrowings.

The Bank has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain provisions where, if the Bank defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Bank could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Bank was in compliance with these provisions as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

The Bank also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain provisions where, if the Bank fails to maintain its status as a well- or adequately-capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Bank would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. The Bank was in compliance with these provisions as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

Certain of the Bank’s agreements with its derivative counterparties contain provisions where, if specified, events or conditions occur that materially change the Bank’s creditworthiness in an adverse manner, the Bank may be required to fully collateralize its obligations under the derivative instruments.

As of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, the termination amounts related to collateral determinations of derivatives in a liability position were ~~$32.7~~$3.6 million and ~~$9.7~~$3.4 million, respectively.

In addition, as of December 31, 2015, the Company had posted cash collateral of $2.0 million~~ against its obligations under these agreements. The collateral posted is typically greater than the current liability ~~position. However,~~position; however, due to timing of liability position changes at period end, the funding of a collateral shortfall may take place shortly following period end.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s ~~objective~~objectives in using interest rate derivatives isare to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage ~~the risk related to~~its exposure to ~~changes in~~ interest ~~rates.~~rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed payments. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) -indexed brokered deposits and the LIBOR component of the total cost of certain FHLB borrowings.

To accomplish this objective and strategy, the Bank has entered into a total of ~~six~~seven interest rate swaps, ~~one~~two during ~~2014~~2017 with an effective ~~date~~dates of ~~June 1, 2014,~~March 22, 2017 and five during 2013 with effective dates of December 1, 2014, September 2, 2014, June 1, 2014, March 1, 2014, and August 1, 2013.

The ~~six~~two interest rate swaps entered into during 2017 have notional amounts of $40 million and $60 million with terms of 1.75 and 2.25 years, respectively. These interest rate swaps will effectively fix the Bank’s interest payments on $100 million in interest-related cash outflows attributable to changes in the LIBOR component of FHLB borrowing liabilities at rates of 1.55% and 1.65%, respectively, with a weighted average rate of 1.61%. The borrowings hedged will initially be expected to be issuances and quarterly rollovers of 3-month FHLB advances but may also then include future issuances of 3-month repurchase agreements with similar characteristics and/or future issuances of either floating or fixed rate borrowings that are issued with the specific intent to replace the quarterly rollovers of the advances or repurchase agreements.

The five interest rate swaps entered into during 2013 each have a notional amount of $25 million and have terms ranging from three to six years. The Bank’s risk management objective and strategy for these interest rate swaps is to reduce its exposure to variability in interest-related cash outflows attributable to changes in the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) swap rate associated with borrowing programs for each of the periods, initially expected to be accomplished with LIBOR-indexed brokered deposits, but may also include LIBOR-indexed FHLB advances.years from their respective effective dates. The interest rate swaps ~~will~~ effectively fix the Bank’s interest payments on ~~$150~~$125 million of its LIBOR-indexed deposit liabilities at rates between ~~1.17%~~1.68% and 2.32%, ~~and~~with a weighted average rate of ~~1.85%~~1.98%.

The Company uses the “Hypothetical Derivative Method” described in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), for quarterly prospective and retrospective assessments of hedge effectiveness, as well as for measurements of hedge ineffectiveness. Under this method, the Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transactions. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in interest and dividend income when the hedged transactions affect earnings. Ineffectiveness resulting from the hedge is recorded as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations as part of fees and other income. There was an immaterial amount of hedge ineffectiveness during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~no hedge ineffectiveness during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.~~2016. The Company monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis.

A portion of the balance reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest ~~income or~~ expense as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s interest rate swaps. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that ~~$1.3~~$0.4 million will be reclassified as an increase in interest expense.

Non-designated Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from two different services the Bank provides to qualified commercial clients. The Bank offers certain derivative products directly to such clients. The Bank economically hedges derivative transactions executed with commercial clients by entering into mirror-image, offsetting derivatives with third parties. Derivative transactions executed as part of these programs are not designated in ASC 815-qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, marked-to-market through earnings each period. Because the derivatives have mirror-image contractual terms, the changes in fair value substantially offset through earnings. The net effect on earnings is primarily driven by changes in the credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”). The CVA represents the dollar amount of fair value adjustment related to ~~nonperfomance~~nonperformance risk of both the Bank and its counterparties. Fees earned in connection with the execution of derivatives related to this program are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in other income. As of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, the Bank had ~~130~~138 and 76136 derivatives, respectively, related to this program, comprised of interest rate swaps and caps, with an aggregate notional amount of ~~$1.0~~$1.1 billion ~~and $475.3 million, respectively. There~~for each period. As of September 30, 2017, there were no foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding related to this program, and as of ~~both September 30, 2016 and~~ December 31, ~~2015.~~2016, there was one foreign currency exchange contract with an aggregate notional amount of less than $0.1 million.

In addition, as a participant lender, the Bank has guaranteed performance on the pro-rated portion of ~~two~~ swaps executed by other financial institutions. As the participant lender, the Bank is providing a partial guarantee, but is not a direct party to the related swap transactions. The Bank has no obligations under the risk participation agreements unless the borrower defaults on their swap transaction with the lead bank and the swap is in a liability position to the borrower. In that instance, the Bank has agreed to pay the lead bank a portion of the swap’s termination value at the time of the default. The derivative transactions entered into as part of these agreements are not designated, as per ASC 815, as qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, marked-to-market through earnings each period. ~~The pro-rated notional amount~~As of September 30, 2017, there were six of these risk participation transactions ~~was $13.3~~with an aggregate notional amount of $48.1 million ~~as of September 30, 2016~~ and, ~~$8.3 million~~ as of December 31, ~~2015.~~

~~BOSTON PRIVATE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)~~

2016, there were two of these risk participation transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $13.3 million.

The Bank has also participated out to another financial institution a pro-rated portion of two swaps executed by the Bank. The other financial institution has no obligations under the risk participation agreements unless the borrowers default on their swap transactions with the Bank and the swaps are in liability positions to the borrower. In those instances, the other financial institution has agreed to pay the Bank a portion of the swap’s termination value at the time of the default. The derivative transactions entered into as part of these agreements are not designated, as per ASC 815, as qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, marked-to-market through earnings each period. The pro-rated notional amount of these risk participation transactions was $6.1 million as of both September 30, ~~2016. There were no risk participation agreements participated out as of~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of 29.9%, with related tax expense of $24.8 million, was calculated based on a projected 2017 annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was less than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to earnings from tax-exempt investments, income tax credits, and income attributable to noncontrolling interests. These items were partially offset by state and local income taxes.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of 31.0%, with related tax expense of $23.7 million, was calculated based on a projected 2016 annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was less than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to earnings from tax-exempt investments, income tax credits, and income attributable to noncontrolling interests. These items were partially offset by state and local income taxes.

~~The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the~~ ~~nine months ended September 30, 2015~~ of ~~33.8%, with related tax expense of $24.8 million, was calculated based on a projected 2015 annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was less than the statutory rate of~~ ~~35%~~ due primarily to earnings from tax-exempt investments, income tax credits, and income attributable to noncontrolling interests. These items were partially offset by state and local income taxes and an out-of-period adjustment related to non-deductible executive compensation, as described in more detail below.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 is lower than the effective tax rate for the same period in ~~2015~~2016 due primarily to ~~an out-of-period adjustment recorded during~~a projected increase in earnings from tax-exempt investments and loans in 2017 as compared to 2016.

In the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2015.~~2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09. The ~~Company reevaluated its executive compensation plans during~~impact of ASU 2016-09 for the ~~third quarter of 2015 and discovered that certain executive compensation that~~nine months ended September 30, 2017, was ~~previously treated as fully deductible was non-deductible. The correction resulted~~a decrease in ~~$1.8 million of additional~~income tax expense ~~that~~of $0.3 million due to the fair value at the time of vesting of share-based compensation as compared to the grant date fair value, partially offset by stock options expiring unexercised due to being out of the money. There was no significant change to the Company’s effective tax rate related to ~~prior years. After evaluating~~ the ~~quantitative and qualitative aspects~~adoption of the correction, the Company determined that previously issued quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated and, as a result, recorded the correction in the third quarter of 2015.this ASU.

10. Noncontrolling Interests

At the Company, noncontrolling interests ~~typically~~ consist of equity owned by management of the Company’s respective majority-owned affiliates. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of operations represents the net income allocated to the noncontrolling interest owners of the affiliates. Net income allocated to the noncontrolling interest owners was $1.1 million ~~and $1.0 million~~ for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and ~~2015, respectively,~~$3.2 million and $3.0 ~~million and $3.5~~ million for the nine month periods ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015,~~2016, respectively.

On the consolidated balance sheets, noncontrolling interests are included as the sum of the capital and undistributed profits allocated to the noncontrolling interest owners. Typically, this balance is included in a company’s permanent shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. When the noncontrolling interest owners’ rights include certain redemption features, as described in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, such redeemable noncontrolling interests are classified as mezzanine equity and are not included in permanent shareholders’ equity. Due to the redemption features of the noncontrolling interests, the Company had redeemable noncontrolling interests held in mezzanine equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ~~$16.2~~$15.9 million and ~~$18.1~~$17.0 million at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, respectively. The aggregate amount of such redeemable noncontrolling equity interests are recorded at the estimated maximum redemption values. In addition, the Company had ~~$3.8~~$4.8 million and ~~$3.4~~$4.2 million in noncontrolling interests included in permanent shareholder’s equity at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, respectively.

Each non-wholly owned affiliate operating agreement provides the Company and/or the noncontrolling interests with contingent call or put redemption features used for the orderly transfer of noncontrolling equity interests between the affiliate noncontrolling interest owners and the Company at either a contractually predetermined fair value; multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA); or fair value. The Company may liquidate these noncontrolling interests in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or other forms of consideration dependent on the operating agreement. These agreements are discussed in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 14: Noncontrolling Interests” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

Generally, these put and call redemption features refer to shareholder rights of both the Company and the noncontrolling interest owners of the Company’s majority-owned affiliate companies. The affiliate company noncontrolling interests generally take the form of limited liability company (LLC) units, profits interests, or common stock (collectively, the “noncontrolling equity interests”). In most circumstances, the put and call redemption features generally relate to the Company’s right and, in some cases, obligation to purchase and the noncontrolling equity interests’ right to sell their equity interests. There are various events that could cause the puts or calls to be exercised, such as a change in control, death, disability, retirement, resignation or termination. The puts and calls are generally to be exercised at the then fair value or a contractually agreed upon approximation thereof. The terms of these rights vary and are governed by the respective individual operating and legal documents.

The following table presents, by affiliate, the noncontrolling interests included as redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in mezzanine and permanent equity, respectively, at the periods indicated:

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

~~In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-04,~~ ~~Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) - Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure~~. The amendments to this update are intended to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate recognized. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”)~~, amending the ASC and creating a new Topic 606,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers.~~ This issuance was part of the joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.. ASU 2014-09 ~~is effective~~replaces existing revenue recognition standards and expands the disclosure requirements for ~~annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The impact of~~revenue agreements with customers. ASU 2014-09 ~~on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not yet known. Additionally,~~has been subsequently amended by additional ASUs, including ASU ~~2015-14,~~2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)(“ and ASU ~~2014-09”) was~~2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, collectively, “ASU 2014-09 et al.”. Under the new standard, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 et al. does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments such as loans and securities. Therefore, the Company’s net interest income will not be impacted by this new standard. The Company has assembled a project team to address the changes pursuant to ASU 2014-09 et al. The project team has completed the scope assessment. Approximately 61% of our revenue, including all of our interest income and a portion of our noninterest income, is out of scope of the guidance. The contracts that are in scope of the guidance are primarily related to service charges and fees on deposit accounts, wealth management and trust income, wealth advisory income, investment management income, and other service charges, commissions and fees. We are currently finalizing our review of these contracts and have not identified any material changes in the timing of revenue recognition. We plan to adopt ASU 2014-09 et al. using the modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Although the Company does not anticipate any material impact of ASU 2014-09 et al., the Company does expect additional financial statement disclosures and associated internal controls to be implemented along with the adoption of this ASU.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ~~in August 2015 which defers adoption~~ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU update amends current lease accounting and requires all leases, other than short-term leases, to ~~annual reporting periods~~be reported on the balance sheet through the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability for future lease obligations. The amended guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2017.~~2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and will require transition utilizing a modified retrospective approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted although the Company does not plan to early adopt. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to revenue or operating expenses as a result of the adoption of

this ASU. The Company expects that this ASU will gross up the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the lease assets and liabilities.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU ~~2016-09,~~ ~~Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.~~2016-09. This update is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based plans such as income tax consequences, classification of awards as either liabilities or equity on the balance sheet, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ~~This~~The Company adopted this ASU ~~is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016,~~

The ~~Company does not expect that~~adoption of this ASU has resulted in, and will ~~have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements although~~continue to result in, fluctuations in the Company’s earnings due to changes in the Company’s stock price between issuance date and settlement date of employee share-based ~~transactions~~transactions. In addition, the Company anticipates that certain stock options will ~~lead~~expire unexercised, due to ~~fluctuations in earnings once~~being out of the money, and this ASU ~~is implemented.~~

This ASU update is intended~~previous tax benefits to ~~increase transparency and comparability among companies by recognizing right of use lease assets and lease liabilities~~be reversed.

This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be implemented utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company expects that this ASU will gross up the assets and liabilities on the balance sheetCompany’s income tax expense related to the ~~lease assets and liabilities.~~adoption of this ASU was a decrease of $0.3 million.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments (Topic 326) (“(“ASU 2016-13”). This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is available as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not plan on adopting early. The ~~Company is currently evaluating the~~ impact of this ASU on ~~its~~the Company’s consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements will depend on factors at the time of adoption such as the balance and type of loans on the balance sheet, the Company’s loan loss history, and various qualitative factors.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows ~~(Topic~~(Topic 230) (“(“ASU 2016-15”). This update is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same ~~period.~~period, however the Company does not plan to early adopt. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company does not expect that this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04. This update is the result of the first phase of a two phase project by the FASB to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test. The objective of Phase 1 of the project, which resulted in ASU 2017-04, is to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Instead, under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, 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. Under the provisions of this update, an entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment, or Step 0 test, for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This ASU will be effective for any annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company elected to early adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU could increase or decrease the amount of a goodwill impairment charge should any of the Company’s reporting units with goodwill fail a Step 1 test in the future, as compared to the amount of a goodwill impairment charge under the existing standards depending on the fair value of the reporting unit’s assets.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). This update amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The amortization period for the premium on such securities is being shortened to the earliest call date. Under current GAAP, entities generally amortize the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. The guidance requires application using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The Company early adopted this ASU as of July 1, 2017, which had a minimal impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). The standard is intended to improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and to reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to early adopt this ASU as of January 1, 2018. The Company currently has seven interest rate swaps that are designated for hedge accounting and the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. This ASU will provide more flexibility in the Company’s risk management activities and we believe it will enhance the Company’s ability to employ risk management strategies, while improving the transparency and understanding of those strategies for financial statement users.

Net income attributable to the Company was ~~$19.6~~$19.8 million for the three months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~$13.5~~$19.6 million for the same period in ~~2015.~~2016. The Company recognized diluted earnings per share of $0.22 ~~and $0.16~~ for each of the three month periods ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015, respectively.~~2016.

Key items that affected the Company’s results in the third quarter of ~~2016~~2017 compared to the same period of ~~2015~~2016 include:

▪

The Company recorded a $0.1 million credit to the provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a provision for loan losses of $2.6 million for the same period of 2015. The credit to the provision for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to decreases in loss factors, and net recoveries of $2.1 million, offset by an increase in criticized loans and loan growth.

▪

~~Fees and other~~Net interest income increased 1%14%, to ~~$40.0~~$56.6 million for the three months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, compared to ~~$39.4~~$49.9 million for the same period of ~~2015.~~2016. The increase for the three months is due to higher volume and yields on loans, partially offset by higher volumes and average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and higher volume and average rates paid on the Company’s borrowings. The net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of fourteen basis points compared to the same period in 2016.

▪

Total fees and other income increased 1% to $40.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $40.0 million for the same period of 2016. This increase was driven by ~~banking fee revenue and~~ a ~~gain on the fair value of derivative instruments, partially offset by a 13% decrease~~7% increase in wealth management and trust fees, ~~and~~ a ~~6% decrease~~5% increase in investment management ~~fees.~~fees, and a 4% increase in wealth advisory fees, partially offset by decreases in swap fee income and market value adjustments on derivatives.

Increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, professional fees, and marketing and business development expenses were partially offset by decreases in amortization of intangibles and contract services and data processing expenses.

occupancy and equipment, and contract services and data processing were offset by decreases in professional services, marketing and business development, and other expenses. Additionally, the Company incurred no restructuring expense during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $1.5 million during the same period in 2015 related to the Wealth Management and Trust segment.

The Company’s Private Banking segment reported net income attributable to the Company of ~~$17.4~~$16.3 million in the third quarter of ~~2016,~~2017, compared to net income attributable to the Company of ~~$13.8~~$17.4 million for the same period of ~~2015.~~2016.

The Company’s Wealth Management and Trust segment reported net income attributable to the Company of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss attributable to the Company of $0.8 million for the same period of 2016. During 2015 and 2016, employee turnover and the related loss of clients led to a negative impact on revenues and AUM.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that its most critical accounting policies upon which its financial condition depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments are the allowance for loan and lease losses, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets and analysis for impairment, and tax estimates. These policies are discussed in Part II. Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016. There have been no changes to these policies through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus September 30, 2016

Net Income. The Company recorded net income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $19.7 million and $58.2 million, respectively, compared to $19.7 million and $52.7 million for the same respective periods in 2016. Net income attributable to the Company, which includes income from both continuing and discontinued operations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $19.8 million and $58.9 million, respectively, compared to $19.6 million and $54.1 million for the same respective periods in 2016.

The Company recognized diluted EPS attributable to common shareholders, which includes both continuing and discontinued operations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $0.22 per share and $0.66 per share, respectively, compared to $0.22 per share and $0.62 per share, respectively, for the same periods in 2016.

Net income from continuing operations in both 2017 and 2016 was partially offset by charges that reduce income available to common shareholders. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 2: Earnings Per Share” for further detail on these charges to income available to common shareholders.

The following discussions are based on the Company’s continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.

Net interest income. Net interest income represents the difference between interest earned, primarily on loans and investments, and interest paid on funding sources, primarily deposits and borrowings. Interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities. Net Interest Margin (“NIM”) is calculated by taking annualized net interest income for the period, on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis, as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The average rate earned on earning assets is the amount of annualized taxable equivalent interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities is equal to annualized interest expense as a percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities. When credit quality declines and loans are placed on nonaccrual status, NIM can decrease because the same assets are earning less income. Loans graded as substandard but still accruing interest income totaled $53.7 million at September 30, 2017 and could be placed on nonaccrual status if their credit quality declines further.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $56.6 million, an increase of $6.8 million, or 14%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net interest income was $167.4 million, an increase of $18.5 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase for the three months is due to higher volume and yields on loans and higher yields on cash and investments, partially offset by higher volume and average rates paid on the Company’s borrowings and interest-bearing deposits, and higher rates paid on the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The increase for the nine months is due to higher volume and yields on loans and cash and investments, partially offset by higher volume and average rates paid on and interest-bearing deposits and the Company’s FHLB and other borrowings, and higher average rates paid on the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The NIM was 3.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of fourteen basis points compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the NIM was 3.01%, an increase of nine basis points compared to the same period in 2016.

The following tables present the composition of the Company’s NIM on a FTE basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016; however, the discussion following these tables reflects non-FTE data.

Interest and dividend income. Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2017was $65.5 million, an increase of $8.9 million, or 16%, compared to the same period in 2016. Interest and dividend income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $191.8 million, an increase of $22.6 million, or 13%, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase for the three and nine months was primarily due to higher volume and yields on loans and higher yields on cash and investments as well as, for the nine month period, higher volume of cash and investments.

The Bank generally has interest income that is either recovered or reversed related to nonaccrual loans each quarter. Based on the net amount recovered or reversed, the impact on interest income and related yields can be either positive or negative. In addition, the Bank collects prepayment penalties on certain commercial loans that pay off prior to maturity which could also impact interest income and related yields positively. The amount and timing of prepayment penalties varies from quarter to quarter.

Interest income on commercial and industrial loans, on a non-FTE basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2017was $8.7 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 1%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 7% decrease in the average balance, partially offset by an 18 basis point increase in the average yield. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, commercial and industrial interest income was $25.3 million, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of an 8% decrease in the average balance, partially offset by a three basis point increase in the average yield. The decreases in the average balances for the three and nine month periods are related to the reclassification in the fourth quarter of 2016 of tax-exempt multifamily loans into commercial real estate loans. The decreases in average balances for the three and nine month periods are also due to a number of factors including seasonal fluctuations of the commercial loan portfolio at the Bank. The increase in the average yield for the three and nine month periods is the result of market conditions and the fluctuations in the indicies to which the variable rate loans are tied.

Interest income on commercial real estate loans, on a non-FTE basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $24.8 million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 25%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 21% increase in the average balance and a 15 basis point increase in the average yield. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, commercial real estate interest income was $73.4 million, an increase of $14.2 million, or 24%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 23% increase in the average balance and a five basis point increase in the average yield. The increases in the average balances for the three and nine month periods are related to the reclassification in the fourth quarter of 2016 of certain tax-exempt multifamily loans into commercial real estate loans. The increases in average balances for the three and nine month periods are also related to the organic growth of the commercial real estate loan portfolio at the Bank. The changes in the average yields for the three and nine month periods are the result of market conditions as well as fluctuations in the indicies to which the variable rate loans are tied.

Interest income on construction and land loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.4 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 66 basis point increase in the average yield, partially offset by a 3% decrease in the average balance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, construction and land interest income was $4.0 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 22% decrease in the average balance, partially offset by a 71 basis point increase in the average yield. The decreases in the average balances for the three and nine month periods are related to customer demand. The increases in the average yields for the three and nine month periods are the result of market conditions as well as fluctuations in the indicies to which the variable rate loans are tied.

Interest income on residential mortgage loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $20.4 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 15%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 12% increase in the average balance and an eight basis point increase in the average yield. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, residential mortgage interest income was $59.0 million, an increase of $6.4 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 10% increase in the average balance and a five basis point increase in the average yield. The increase in the average balances for the three and nine month periods is related to the organic growth of the residential loan portfolio at the Bank. The increases in the average yields for the three and nine month periods are the result of market conditions and adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans repricing to higher rates.

Interest income on home equity loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.1 million, an increase of 2% compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 60 basis point increase in the average yield, partially offset by a 13% decrease in the average balance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, home equity interest income was $3.3 million, a slight increase of 1% compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 39 basis point increase in the average yield offset by a 9% decrease in the average balance. The decrease in the average balance for the three and nine month periods is related to the timing of customer demand. The increase in the average yield for the three and nine month periods is the result of increases in the Prime rate.

Interest income on other consumer loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.6 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 35%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 77 basis point increase in the average yield and a 3% increase in the average balance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other consumer interest income was $4.5 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 41%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of an 11% increase in the average balance and a 67 basis point increase in the average yield. The increase in the average yield for the three and nine month periods is primarily the result of increases in the Prime rate. The increase in the average balance for the three and nine month periods is primarily due to client demand.

Investment income, on a non-FTE basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $7.4 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 14%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 24 basis point increase in the average yield with a flat average balance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, investment income was $22.4 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 15%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 7% increase in the average balance and a 12 basis point increase in the average yield. The increases in the average yields for the three and nine month periods are partially due to the increases in short-term interest rates. The increase in the average balance for the nine month period is primarily due to timing and volume of deposit balances as compared to the level of loans outstanding. Investment decisions are made based on anticipated liquidity, loan demand, and asset-liability management considerations.

Interest expense. Total interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $8.9 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 32%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total interest expense was $24.4 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 20%, compared to the same period in 2016.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $5.4 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 29%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of an eight basis point increase in the average rate paid, and an 8% increase in the average balance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest expense on deposits was $14.8 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 19%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of an 8% increase in the average balance and a four basis point increase in the average rate paid.

Interest paid on non-deposit interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $3.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 37%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 63 basis point increase in the average rate paid on FHLB borrowings and other borrowings, a 23 basis point increase in the average rate paid on junior subordinated debentures, and an 18% increase in the average balance of FHLB borrowings and other borrowings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest paid on borrowings was $9.6 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 21%, compared to the same period in 2016, as a result of a 16% increase in the average balance of FHLB borrowings and other borrowings, a seven basis point increase in the average rate paid on FHLB borrowings and other borrowings, and a 49 basis point increase in the average rate paid on junior subordinated debentures. The increases for the three and nine month periods in the average rate paid on borrowings is due to the increases in benchmark interest rates, the mix and terms of borrowings, and the impact of derivatives.

Provision/ (credit) for loan losses. The Company recorded a credit to the provision for loan losses of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to a credit to the provision for loan losses of $0.1 million for the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a credit to the provision for loan losses of $6.7 million, compared to a credit of $5.8 million for the same period in 2016. The credits to the provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were the result of net recoveries and improved loss factors, partially offset by an increase in criticized loans and loan growth.

The provision/ (credit) for loan losses is determined as a result of the required level of the allowance for loan losses, estimated by management, which reflects the inherent risk of loss in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet dates. The Company incorporates both quantitative and qualitative loss factors to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses. Quantitative loss factors are based on historical net charge-offs by loan portfolio. Qualitative factors are estimated by management and include trends in problem loans, economic and business conditions, strength of management, real estate collateral values, and underwriting standards. For further details, see “Loan Portfolio and Credit Quality” below.

Fees and other income. Total fees and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $40.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total fees and other income was $114.8 million, flat as compared to the same period in 2016. Factors affecting the increase in the three month period include higher fee income in the Wealth Management and Trust, Investment Management, and Wealth Advisory segments due to increases in AUM, partially offset by decreases in banking fee income related to swap fees and in other income related to fair market value adjustments on derivative agreements. Factors affecting the balances in the nine month periods include decreases in banking fee income related to swap fees, partially offset by increases in fee income in the Investment Management, Wealth Advisory, and Wealth Management and Trust segments due to increases in AUM.

Investment management fee income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $11.3 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, investment management fee income was $33.2 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2016. AUM as of September 30, 2017 managed or advised by the Investment Managers was $11.1 billion, an increase of $0.9 billion, or 9%, compared to 2016. The increase is primarily due to positive market action of $1.3 billion, partially offset by net outflows of $0.4 billion for the twelve months ending September 30, 2017.

Wealth advisory fee income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $13.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, wealth advisory fee income was $39.1 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 3%, compared to the same period in 2016. AUM managed or advised by the Wealth Advisors was $11.0 billion at September 30, 2017, an increase of $1.0 billion, or 10%, compared to September 30, 2016. The increase is due to positive market action of $0.9 billion and net inflows of $0.1 billion for the twelve months ending September 30, 2017.

Wealth management and trust fee income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $11.6 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, wealth management and trust fee income was $33.6 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2016. AUM as of September 30, 2017 managed or advised by Boston Private Wealth was $7.7 billion, an increase of $0.4 billion, or 5%, compared to September 30, 2016. The increase is due to positive market action of $0.3 billion and net inflows of $0.1 billion for the twelve months ending September 30, 2017.

Other banking fee income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $2.7 million, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 21%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other banking fee income was $6.4 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 34%, compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease for both the three and nine month periods is related to decreases in swap fee income due to elevated 2016 client demand for loan swap agreements. These decreases were partially offset in both the three and nine month periods by the increase in Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) income, which is related to the additional $50.0 million investment in BOLI in the first quarter of 2017.

Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.0 million, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 43%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other income was $1.7 million, an increase of $1.0 million compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease for the three month period and the increase for the nine month period were related to fluctuations in gains and losses on fair market value adjustments on derivative agreements in 2016 that did not recur in 2017.

Operating Expense. Total operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $69.3 million, an increase of $7.7 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total operating expense was $205.9 million, an increase of $12.8 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2016. The changes for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 are primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, professional services, marketing and business development, and other expenses, partially offset by decreases in contract services and data processing and FDIC insurance expenses. The changes for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 are primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, professional services, other expenses, and marketing and business development, partially offset by decreases in contract services and data processing, FDIC insurance, and amortization of intangibles expenses. Additionally, the Company incurred no restructuring charges in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the three months ended September 30, 2016, and incurred restructuring charges of $2.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

Salaries and employee benefits expense, the largest component of operating expense, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $45.2 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 10%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, salaries and employee benefits was $134.5 million, an increase of $10.4 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase for the three and nine month periods is primarily due to higher variable and performance based compensation, commissions and sales incentives, and stock compensation. Although the Company incurred

severance expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the majority of the costs were categorized as restructuring expense, whereas there was severance expense categorized as salaries and employee benefits expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Occupancy and equipment expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $11.3 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 19%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, occupancy and equipment expense was $32.7 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 13%, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase for the three and nine month periods is primarily due to an increase in telecommunications and technology expense and an increase in rent expense due to new office locations.

Professional services expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $3.3 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 44%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, professional services expense was $9.7 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 10%, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase for the three and nine month periods is primarily due to increases in recruitment and consulting expense, partially offset by decreases in legal expense related to loan workouts.

In 2017, the Bank began working on an initiative to upgrade its information technology. This initiative required the Bank to hire additional employees with expertise in information technology. Recruiters were generally used in the placement of these professionals. The Bank has utilized consultants and temporary employees to assist with the project in addition to the new hires. Generally the expenditures in the preliminary project stage were expensed as incurred. Other expenditures related to the application development stage have been capitalized. The capitalized expenditures will be depreciated over the useful life of the asset when the asset is placed in service. The Bank anticipates that the capitalized assets will be placed in service beginning in late 2017 through early 2019.

Marketing and business development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $2.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 37%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, marketing and business development expense was $5.8 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2016. The three month increase is primarily related to an increase in marketing expense in the Private Banking and Wealth Advisory segments. The nine month increase is primarily related to the timing of marketing programs in the Private Banking segment.

Contract services and data processing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.6 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 14%, compared to the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, contract services and data processing expense was $4.8 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 9%, compared to the same period in 2016. The decreases for the three and nine month periods are primarily due to a decrease in custody and recordkeeping expenses.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $24.8 million. The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 29.9%, compared to an effective tax rate of 31.0% for the same period in 2016. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 9: Income Taxes” for further detail.

Total Assets. Total assets increased 2%$0.3 billion to ~~$7.7~~$8.3 billion at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 from ~~$7.5~~$8.0 billion at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. This increase was primarily due ~~primarily~~ to ~~increases~~the increase in ~~total loans and investments.~~loans.

Cash and Investments. Total cash and investments (consisting of cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, and stock in the ~~FHLBs)~~FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank) decreased ~~$22.6~~$61.8 million, or 2%4%, to $1.4 billion, or 17% of total assets at September 30, 2017 from $1.5 billion, or 19% of total assets at ~~September 30, 2016 from $1.5 billion, or 20% of total assets, at~~ December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. The decrease was due to the ~~$171.1~~$74.3 million, or ~~72%~~6%, decrease in available-for-sale securities, and the $9.0 million, or 10% decrease in held-to-maturity securities, partially offset by the $17.6 million, or 40%, increase in stock in the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank and the $3.9 million, or 4%, increase in cash and cash ~~equivalents, and the $17.5 million, or 15%, decrease in held-to-maturity investments, partially offset by the $165.1 million, or 15%, increase in available-for-sale investment securities.~~equivalents. The ~~change~~changes in cash and ~~cash equivalents is~~investments were the net result of short-term fluctuations in liquidity due to changes in levels of deposits, borrowings and loans outstanding. Additionally, on July 28, 2017, Boston Private Bank & Trust Company became a member of the Federal Reserve System, which required the purchase of stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.

The majority of the investments held by the Company are held by the Bank. The Bank’s investment policy requires management to maintain a portfolio of securities which will provide liquidity necessary to facilitate funding of loans, to cover deposit fluctuations, and to mitigate the Bank’s overall balance sheet exposure to interest rate risk, while at the same time earning a satisfactory return on the funds invested. The securities in which the Bank may invest are subject to regulation and are generally limited to securities that are considered “investment grade.”

Investment maturities, calls, principal payments, and sales of securities, ~~from the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio~~net of purchases, provided ~~$190.1~~$242.8 million of cash proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. The timing of sales and reinvestments is based on various factors, including management’s evaluation of interest rate trends, the credit risk of municipal securities and the Company’s liquidity. The Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio carried a total of ~~$22.4~~$6.9 million of unrealized gains and ~~$1.8~~$13.7 million of unrealized losses at September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, compared to ~~$7.6~~$4.6 million of unrealized gains and ~~$7.2~~$23.7 million of unrealized losses at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

No impairment losses were recognized through earnings related to investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015.~~2016. The total amount of unrealized losses was primarily due to changes in interest rates since the securities were purchased. At

Additionally, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company ~~had no intent to sell any~~held $84.1 million and $93.1 million, respectively, of held-to-maturity securities ~~in an unrealized loss~~

See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 4: Investments” for further details of the Company’s investment securities.

Loans held for sale. Loans held for sale decreased ~~$2.8~~$1.5 million, or ~~34%~~44%, to ~~$5.3~~$2.0 million at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 from ~~$8.1~~$3.5 million at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. The balance of loans held for sale is usually ~~related~~relates to the timing and volume of residential loans originated for sale and the ultimate sale transaction which is typically executed within a short time following the loan origination. From time to time, the Company may also sell loans that have been held in the loan portfolio. The sale of such loans may improve the Bank’s liquidity and capital position or may provide the Bank additional flexibility for more profitable and strategic future lending opportunities.

Goodwill and intangible assets, net. Goodwill and intangible assets decreased ~~$4.7~~$4.3 million, or 3%, to ~~$180.3~~$165.0 million at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 from ~~$185.1~~$169.3 million at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. The decrease was due to amortization of intangible assets.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets such as trade names are subject to annual impairment tests, or more frequently, if there is indication of impairment, based on guidance in ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. Long-lived intangible assets such as advisory contracts are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”).

Management performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing during the fourth quarter of ~~2015~~2016 for applicable reporting units. The 2016 goodwill impairment testing indicated that Boston Private Wealth failed Step 1 and the resulting Step 2 test indicated goodwill impairment of $9.5 million. The estimated fair value for all other applicable reporting units exceeded the carrying value in 2016, and as a result no other impairment was evident. There was no additional testing required for long-lived intangible assets in ~~2015.~~2016.

~~The goodwill impairment testing as of October 31, 2015 indicated that the reporting units with the closest fair values as compared to carrying value were Anchor and Boston Private Wealth.~~ The estimated fair value of ~~Anchor~~Boston Private Wealth as a result of the fourth quarter 2016 impairment testing was ~~$92.0~~$68.0 million as compared to a carrying value of ~~$82.8~~$76.9 million, ~~an excess~~resulting in a deficit of ~~$9.2~~$8.9 million, or ~~11.2%~~11.6%. ~~The~~Even though the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge for Boston Private Wealth in 2016, there could be additional goodwill impairment in the future should Boston Private Wealth’s actual results not meet projections. In addition to financial results, other inputs to the valuation, such as the discount rate and market assumptions, could negatively affect the estimated fair value of Boston Private Wealth ~~was $85.0 million as compared to a carrying value of $71.5 million, an excess of $13.5 million, or 18.9%.~~

~~The October 31, 2015 fair values for Anchor and Boston Private Wealth were determined based on their actual and forecasted earnings as well as market comparisons for these types of firms.~~in the future. The Company has monitored changes in the assumptions and inputs in the valuation models, such as AUM, discount rates, and actual and forecasted earnings for indications of a triggering event that would have required the immediate testing for goodwill impairment. The Company concluded that no ~~triggering event occurred since the last testing date that would have required~~ interim goodwill impairment ~~testing.~~

~~Although the Company concluded that~~triggering event has occurred and no ~~triggering events occurred since the last~~interim goodwill impairment testing date, both Anchor and Boston Private Wealth’s actual results were unfavorable as compared to the assumptions used in the October 31, 2015 valuation. Anchor’s AUM net outflows were higher than forecasted although the positive market impact was also higher than forecasted which offset the increased outflows. Boston Private Wealth’s net outflows were significantly higher than forecast although the positive market impact helped offset some of the outflows it was not enough to offset the negative flows. As a result of the decline in AUM, Boston Private Wealth’s financial results have been unfavorable as compared to was forecasted in the October 31, 2015 valuation.

necessary at September 30, 2017. The Company will again be performing its annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter.

The estimated fair value of Anchor as a result of the fourth quarter 2016 impairment testing was $87.0 million as compared to a carrying value of $81.6 million, an excess of $5.4 million, or 6.6%. Due to the narrow margin between the fair value and the carrying value of Anchor, Anchor will continue to be at risk for potential goodwill impairment. The Company has concluded that no interim goodwill impairment triggering event occurred and no interim goodwill impairment testing was necessary at September 30, 2017. The Company will ~~take into consideration partial fourth quarter results as well as changes in market conditions for both Anchor and Boston Private Wealth in preparing the forecasts used~~again be performing its annual goodwill impairment testing in the ~~2016 impairment testing.~~fourth quarter.

Total other assets. Total other assets, as presented in the table above, consists of the following line items from the consolidated balance sheet: other real estate owned (“OREO”) (if any), premises and equipment, fees receivable, accrued interest receivable, deferred income taxes, net, and other assets. Total other assets increased ~~$18.0~~$64.4 million, or 8%25%, to ~~$251.9~~$318.0 million at September 30, ~~2016 from $233.9~~2017 as compared to $253.6 million at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. The increase was the result of increases in other assets partially offset by a decrease in deferred income taxes, ~~net.~~net, OREO, and fees receivable.

OREO decreased $1.7 million to zero at September 30, 2017 from $1.7 million at December 31, 2016. In 2017, the one property held in OREO at December 31, 2016 was sold for a small loss.

Deferred income taxes, net, decreased $9.4 million, or 17%, to $46.1 million at September 30, 2017 from $55.5 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the current year tax effect of other comprehensive income. At September 30, 2017, no valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset was required due primarily to the expectation of

future taxable income as well as the availability of current and historical taxable income. Our use of these deferred tax benefits may depend on a number of factors including future changes in laws or regulations relating to tax credits, tax deductions, and net operating losses. A decrease in tax rates would require us to revalue the net deferred tax assets lower with a corresponding income tax expense.

Other assets, which consist primarily of ~~bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”),~~BOLI, prepaid expenses, ~~investments~~investment in partnerships, the fair value of interest rate derivatives, and other receivables, increased ~~$28.2~~$70.3 million, or ~~23%~~54%, to ~~$149.4~~$201.0 million at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 from ~~$121.2~~$130.8 million at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. The increase was primarily due to an ~~increase~~additional $50.0 million investment in ~~the fair value of non-hedging derivative instruments and~~BOLI policies, an increase in ~~partnership investments, and partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable.~~

~~Deferred~~ income taxes ~~net, decreased $12.4 million, or 24%, to $39.3 million at September 30, 2016 from $51.7 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to current year deferred tax expense~~receivable and the ~~current year tax~~

~~effect~~purchase of other comprehensive income. At September 30, 2016, no valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset was required, other than for capital losses, based upon the ability to generate future taxable income as well as the availability of current and historical taxable income.additional cost method investments.

Deposits. ~~Total deposits decreased $228.2~~Deposits increased $177.2 million, or 4%3%, to ~~$5.8~~$6.3 billion, at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 from ~~$6.0~~$6.1 billion at December 31, ~~2015. At~~2016. Deposits are the principal source of the Bank’s funds for use in lending, investments, and liquidity. Certificates of deposits represented approximately 11% and 10% of total deposits at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company classified $105.8 million of deposits as held for sale related to the announced sale of two offices in Southern California. Deposit balances also decreased during the first nine months of 2016 due to lower money markets, certificates of deposit, and NOW deposits.respectively. Deposit levels can fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of large short-term transactions by commercial clients. Seasonality can also affect the deposit balances.

The Bank specializes in lending to individuals, real estate investors, and middle market businesses, including corporations, partnerships, associations and nonprofit organizations. Loans made by the Bank to individuals may include residential mortgage loans and mortgage loans on investment or vacation properties, unsecured and secured personal lines of credit, home equity loans, and overdraft protection. Loans made by the Bank to businesses include commercial and mortgage loans, revolving lines of credit, working capital loans, equipment financing, community lending programs, and construction and land loans. The types and sizes of loans the Bank originates are limited by regulatory requirements.

The Bank’s loans are affected by the economic and real estate markets in which they are located. Generally, commercial real estate, construction, and land loans are affected more than residential loans in an economic downturn.

In August of 2017, parts of Texas experienced widespread damage and flooding from Hurricane Harvey. In September of 2017, parts of Florida and the Caribbean experienced widespread damage and flooding from Hurricane Irma. Additionally, in September and October of 2017, parts of northern California experienced damage resulting from several widespread wildfires. Surveys of the Bank’s borrowers and collateral located within these areas indicated that most customers experienced only minor damage to the Bank’s underlying collateral which, to date, has been covered by property insurance. However, the Bank continues to assess the extent of the damage and the insurance coverage in place. In addition, the ongoing businesses of customers in these impacted areas could be interrupted which could adversely impact their ability to repay their loans. The Bank is continuing to communicate with borrowers in the affected areas and is evaluating any financial impact.

The Bank’s commercial real estate loan portfolio, the largest portfolio segment after residential, includes loans secured by the following types of collateral at September 30, 2017: $706.4 million secured by multifamily and residential investment property; $618.8 million secured by retail property; $543.1 million secured by office and medical property; $186.4 million secured by manufacturing, industrial, and warehouse property; $145.3 million secured by hospitality property; and $163.2 million secured by other property. The Bank’s commercial real estate loan portfolio as of December 31, 2016 included loans secured by the following types of collateral: $674.2 million secured by multifamily and residential investment property; $660.7 million secured by retail property; $466.8 million secured by office and medical property; $195.9 million secured by manufacturing, industrial, and warehouse property; $116.0 million secured by hospitality property; and $188.6 million secured by other property.

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is reported as a reduction of outstanding loan balances and totaled ~~$77.7~~$74.9 million and ~~$78.5~~$78.1 million as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015~~,2016, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 decreased ~~$0.8~~$3.2 million ~~or 1%,~~ from December 31, ~~2015~~2016 due to a decline in the loss factors, partially offset by the mix in the loan portfolio, change in the volume and ~~an increase~~type of criticized loans and loan growth in ~~criticized loans.~~certain portfolio segments. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased 511 basis ~~point~~points to ~~1.32%~~1.17% as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 from ~~1.37%~~1.28% as of December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. The decrease in the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans is due to a decline in the loss factors, a combination of the mix in the loan portfolio, ~~loan growth,~~ and the change in the volume and type of criticized loans. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 7: Allowance for Loan Losses” for an analysis of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.

An analysis of the risk in the loan portfolio as well as management judgment is used to determine the estimated appropriate amount of the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s allowance for loan losses is comprised of three primary components (general reserves, allocated reserves on non-impaired special mention and substandard loans, and allocated reserves on impaired loans). See Part II. Item 8. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 6: Allowance for Loan Losses” and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016 for further information.

The following table presents a summary of loans charged-off, net of recoveries, by geography for the periods indicated. The geography assigned to the data is based on the location of the regional offices to which the loans are attributed.

Net recoveries of ~~$2.1~~$0.3 million were recorded in the third quarter of ~~2016,~~2017, compared to ~~$1.6~~$2.1 million of net ~~charge-offs~~recoveries for the same period of ~~2015.~~ 2016. The $3.5 million in net recoveries recorded in the first nine months of 2017 related primarily to commercial real estate loans.

Despite the current year net recoveries on previously charged-off commercial loans (which include construction and land loans, commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans), the Company believes that commercial loans represent the greatest risk of loss due to the size and nature of these loans and the related collateral. Local

economic and business conditions in the markets where our offices are located have a significant impact on our commercial loan customers and their ability to service their loans. ~~Of the $5.0 million in net recoveries recorded in the first~~ ~~nine months~~ of 2016, $5.7 million related to commercial real estate loans and $0.7 million related to construction and land loans, partially offset by net charge-offs of $0.9 million related to commercial and industrial loans and $0.5 million related to residential loans.

Nonperforming assets. The Company’s nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and ~~OREO.~~ OREO, if any. OREO, if any, consists of real estate acquired through foreclosure proceedings and real estate acquired through acceptance of deeds in lieu of foreclosure. As of September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, nonperforming assets totaled ~~$18.3~~$13.6 million, or ~~0.24%~~0.16% of total assets, a decrease of ~~$9.0~~$5.4 million, or ~~33%~~28%, compared to ~~$27.3~~$19.0 million, or ~~0.36%~~0.24% of total assets, as of December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

The Bank’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on a loan when the collectability of principal or interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement is in doubt. Despite a loan having a current payment status, if the Bank has reason to believe it may not collect all principal and interest on the loan in accordance with the related contractual terms, the Bank will generally discontinue the accrual of interest income and will apply any future interest payments received to principal. Of the ~~$16.5~~$13.6 million of loans on nonaccrual status as of September 30, ~~2016, $7.2~~2017, $6.3 million, or ~~44%~~46%, had a current payment status, ~~$1.7~~$0.5 million, or ~~10%~~4%, were 30-89 days past due, and ~~$7.6~~$6.8 million, or ~~46%~~50%, were 90 days or more past due. Of the ~~$26.6~~$17.3 million of loans on nonaccrual status as of December 31, ~~2015, $8.0~~2016, $5.1 million, or ~~30%~~29%, had a current payment status, ~~$0.9~~$2.2 million, or 3%13%, were 30-89 days past due, and ~~$17.7~~$10.0 million, or ~~67%~~58%, were 90 days or more past due.

The Bank continues to evaluate the underlying collateral of each nonperforming loan and pursue the collection of interest and principal. Where appropriate, the Bank obtains updated appraisals on collateral. Reductions in fair values of the collateral for nonaccrual loans, if they are collateral dependent, could result in additional future provision for loan losses depending on the timing and severity of the decline. See Part I. Item 1. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 6: Loans Receivable” for further information on nonperforming loans.

The Bank’s policy for returning a loan to accrual status requires the loan to be brought current and for the client to show a history of making timely payments (generally six consecutive months). For nonaccruing troubled debt restructured loans (“TDRs”), a return to accrual status generally requires timely payments for a period of six months in accordance with restructured terms, along with meeting other criteria.

Delinquencies. The past due status of a loan is determined in accordance with its contractual repayment terms. All loan types are reported past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 days or more. Loans 30-89 days past due decreased ~~$8.5~~$9.8 million, or 65%, to ~~$4.6~~$5.3 million as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 from ~~$13.1~~$15.1 million as of December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. Loan delinquencies can be attributed to many factors, such as continuing weakness in, or deteriorating, economic conditions in the region the collateral is located, the loss of a tenant or lower lease rates for commercial borrowers, renewal and administrative issues, or the loss of income for consumers and the resulting liquidity impacts on the borrowers. Further deterioration in the credit condition of these delinquent loans could lead to the loans going to nonaccrual status and/or being downgraded. Downgrades would generally result in additional provision for loan losses. Past due loans may be included with accruing substandard loans.

In certain instances, although very infrequently, loans that have become 90 days or more past due may remain on accrual status if the value of the collateral securing the loan is sufficient to cover principal and interest and the loan is in the process of collection. There were no loans 90 days or more past due, but still accruing, respectively, as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

Impaired Loans. When management determines that it is probable that the Bank will not collect all principal and interest on a loan in accordance with the original loan terms, the loan is considered impaired. Certain impaired loans may continue to accrue interest based on factors such as the restructuring terms, if any, the historical payment performance, the value of collateral, and the financial condition of the borrower. Impaired commercial loans and impaired construction loans are typically, in accordance with ASC 310, individually evaluated for impairment. Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans may be collectively evaluated for impairment. Such groups of loans may include, but are not limited to, residential loans, home equity loans, and consumer loans. However, if the terms of any of such loans are modified in a troubled debt restructuring, then such loans would be individually evaluated for impairment in the allowance for loan and lease losses.

Loans that are individually evaluated for impairment require an analysis to determine the amount of impairment, if any. For collateral dependent loans, impairment would be indicated as a result of the carrying value of the loan exceeding the estimated collateral value, less costs to sell, or, for loans not considered to be collateral dependent, the net present value of the projected cash flow, discounted at the loan’s contractual effective interest rate. Generally, when a collateral dependent loan becomes impaired, an updated appraisal of the collateral, if appropriate, is obtained. If the impaired loan has not been upgraded to a performing status within a reasonable amount of time, the Bank will continue to obtain updated appraisals, as deemed necessary, especially during periods of declining property values. Normally, shortfalls in the analysis of collateral dependent

loans would result in the impairment amount being charged-off to the allowance for loan losses. Shortfalls on cash flow dependent loans may be carried as specific allocations to the general reserve unless a known loss is determined to have occurred, in which case such known loss is charged-off. Based on the impairment analysis, the provision could be higher or lower than the amount of provision associated with a loan prior to its classification as impaired. See Part II. Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016 for detail on the Company’s treatment of impaired loans in the allowance for loan losses.

Impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment in the allowance for loan losses totaled ~~$38.5~~$21.6 million as of September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, a decrease of ~~$0.7~~$4.4 million, or 2%17%, compared to ~~$39.2~~$26.0 million as of December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. As of September 30, ~~2016, $14.1~~2017, $8.7 million of the individually evaluated impaired loans had ~~$1.3~~$0.8 million in specific reserve allocations. The remaining ~~$24.4~~$12.9 million of individually evaluated impaired loans did not have specific reserve allocations due to the adequacy of collateral, prior charge-offs taken, interest collected and applied to principal, or a combination of these items. As of December 31, ~~2015, $15.9~~2016, $11.4 million of individually evaluated impaired loans had ~~$1.6~~$1.1 million in specific reserve allocations, and the remaining ~~$23.3~~$14.6 million of individually evaluated impaired loans did not have specific reserve allocations.

The Bank may, under certain circumstances, restructure loans as a concession to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. Such loans are classified as TDRs and are included in impaired loans. TDRs typically result from the Bank’s loss mitigation activities which, among other things, could include rate reductions, payment extensions, and/or principal forgiveness. As of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, TDRs totaled ~~$30.6 million.~~$14.7 million and $18.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, ~~2016, $26.1~~2017, $11.5 million of the ~~$30.6~~$14.7 million ofin TDRs were on accrual status. As of December 31, ~~2015, $18.6~~2016, $12.4 million of the ~~$30.6~~$18.1 million ofin TDRs were on accrual status.

Potential Problem Loans. Loans that evidence weakness or potential weakness related to repayment history, the borrower’s financial condition, or other factors are reviewed by the Bank’s management to determine if the loan should be adversely classified. Delinquent loans may or may not be adversely classified depending upon management’s judgment with respect to each individual loan. The Bank classifies certain loans as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” based on criteria consistent with guidelines provided by banking regulators. Potential problem loans consist of accruing substandard loans where known information about possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in classification of such loans as nonperforming at some time in the future. Management cannot predict the extent to which economic conditions may worsen or other factors which may impact borrowers and the potential problem loans. Triggering events for loan downgrades include updated appraisal information, inability of borrowers to cover debt service payments, loss of tenants or notification by the tenant of non-renewal of lease, inability of borrowers to sell completed construction projects, and the inability of borrowers to sell properties. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that other loans will not become 90 days or more past due, be placed on nonaccrual, be restructured, or require increased allowance coverage and provision for loan losses.

As of September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, the Bank has identified ~~$88.1~~$53.7 million in potential problem loans, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$29.7~~$10.0 million, or ~~51%~~16%, compared to ~~$58.4~~$63.7 million as of December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. This ~~increase~~decrease was primarily due to ~~the downgrade of two commercial real estate loans made to a single borrower~~one CRE loan for $9.2 million which was paid off in ~~the Southern California region.~~April 2017. Numerous factors impact the level of potential problem loans including economic conditions and real estate values. These factors affect the borrower’s liquidity and, in some cases, the borrower’s ability to comply with loan covenants such as debt service coverage. When there is a loss of a major tenant in a commercial real estate building, the appraised value of the building generally declines. Loans may be downgraded when this occurs as a result of the additional risk to the borrower in obtaining a new tenant in a timely manner and negotiating a lease with similar or better terms than the previous tenant. In many cases, these loans are still current and paying as agreed, although future performance may be impacted.

Liquidity

Liquidity is defined as the Company’s ability to generate adequate cash to meet its needs for day-to-day operations and material long and short-term commitments. Liquidity risk is the risk of potential loss if the Company were unable to meet its funding requirements at a reasonable cost. The Company manages its liquidity based on demand, commitments, specific events and uncertainties to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity is to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers as well as to earnings enhancement opportunities in a changing marketplace.

At September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to ~~$67.6~~$110.4 million. The Holding Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to ~~$53.0~~$63.0 million at September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. Management believes that the Holding Company and its affiliates, including the Bank, have adequate liquidity to meet their commitments for the foreseeable future.

Management is responsible for establishing and monitoring liquidity targets as well as strategies to meet these targets. At ~~both~~ September 30, ~~2016 and December 31, 2015,~~2017 consolidated cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities, less securities pledged against current borrowings and derivatives, amounted to $1.2 billion, or 15% of total assets, compared to $1.3 billion, or 16% of total ~~assets.~~assets at December 31, 2016. Future loan growth may depend upon the Company’s ability to continue to grow its core deposit levels. In addition, the Company has access to available borrowings through the FHLB totaling ~~$1.1~~$1.0 billion ~~as of~~at September 30, ~~2016~~2017, compared to ~~$1.2~~$0.9 billion at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. Combined, this liquidity totals ~~$2.3~~$2.2 billion, or ~~30%~~27% of assets and ~~39%~~36% of total deposits, as of September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, compared to ~~$2.4~~$2.2 billion, or ~~31%~~28% of assets and ~~39%~~37% of total deposits, at December 31, ~~2015.~~

2016.

The Bank has various internal policies and guidelines regarding liquidity, both on- and off-balance sheet, loans to assets ratio, and limits on the use of wholesale funds. These policies and/or guidelines require certain minimum or maximum balances or ratios be maintained at all times. In light of the provisions in the Bank’s internal liquidity policies and guidelines, the Bank will carefully manage the amount and timing of future loan growth along with its relevant liquidity policies and balance sheet guidelines.

Holding Company Liquidity. The Company and some of the Company’s majority-owned affiliates hold put and call options that would require the Company to purchase (and the noncontrolling interest owners of the majority-owned affiliates to sell) the remaining noncontrolling interests in these companies at either a contractually predetermined fair value, a multiple of EBITDA, or fair value, as determined by the respective agreements. At September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, the estimated maximum redemption value for these affiliates related to outstanding put options ~~on an aggregate basis,~~ was ~~$16.2~~$15.9 million, all of which could be redeemed within the next 12 months, under certain circumstances, and is classified on the consolidated balance sheets as ~~RNCI.~~redeemable noncontrolling interests. These put and call options are discussed in detail in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 14: Noncontrolling Interests” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

The Holding Company’s primary sources of funds are dividends from its affiliates and access to the capital and debt markets. The Holding Company recognized ~~$4.4~~$3.9 million in net income from discontinued operations during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 related to a revenue sharing agreement with Westfield Capital Management Company, LLC (“Westfield”). ~~The terms of this~~This revenue sharing agreement is in effect through December 2017, and the terms are discussed in detail in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3: Acquisitions, Asset Sales, and Divestitures” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. Other than the revenue sharing agreement with Westfield, divestitures are not current ongoing sources of funds for the Holding Company. After the December 2017 payment under the revenue sharing agreement is received in 2018, the Company will not receive additional net income from Westfield. Dividends from the Bank are limited by various regulatory requirements relating to capital adequacy and retained earnings. See Part II. Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholders Matters, and Issuers Purchases of Equity Securities” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016 for further details.

The Bank pays dividends to the Holding Company, subject to the approval of the Bank’s board of directors, depending on its profitability and asset growth. If regulatory agencies were to require banks to increase their capital ratios, or impose other restrictions, it may limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Holding Company and/or limit the amount that the Bank could grow.

Although the Bank’s capital currently exceeds regulatory requirements for capital, the Holding Company could downstream additional capital to increase the rate that the Bank could grow. Depending upon the amount of capital downstreamed by the Holding Company, the approval of the Holding Company’s board of directors may be required prior to the payment, if any.

The Company is required to pay interest quarterly on its junior subordinated debentures. The estimated cash outlay for the remaining three months of ~~2016~~2017 for the interest payments is approximately ~~$0.6~~$1.6 million based on the debt outstanding at September 30, 2017 and estimated ~~LIBOR as of the date of this filing.~~

The Company is required to pay cash dividends quarterly on its Series D preferred stock, issued in April 2013, at 6.95% per annum. The estimated cash outlay for the remaining three months of 2016 for the Series D preferred stock dividend payments is approximately $0.9 million. Although the rate of interest is set in the terms of the preferred stock, the quarterly preferred stock dividend payments are subject to approval by the Company’s board of directors.LIBOR.

The Company presently plans to pay cash dividends on its common stock on a quarterly basis dependent upon a number of factors such as profitability, Holding Company liquidity, and the Company’s capital levels. However, the ultimate declaration of dividends by the board of directors of the Company will depend on consideration of, among other things, recent financial trends and internal forecasts, regulatory limitations, alternative uses of capital deployment, general economic conditions, and regulatory changes to capital requirements. ~~In January 2016, the Company increased its quarterly dividend from $0.09 per share to $0.10 per share.~~ Based on the current quarterly dividend rate of $0.11 per share, as announced by the Company on January 18, 2017, and estimated shares outstanding, the Company estimates that the amount to be paid out for dividends to common shareholders in the remaining three months of ~~2016 for dividends to common shareholders~~2017 will be approximately ~~$8.2~~$9.1 million. The estimated dividend payments in ~~2016~~2017 could increase or decrease if the Company’s board of directors ~~voted~~votes to increase or decrease, respectively, the current dividend rate, and/or the number of shares outstanding changes significantly.

Based on the shares of stock outstanding of 6.95% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, and the dividend rate, the Company expects to pay $0.9 million in cash dividends on preferred stock for the remaining three months of 2017. Although the rate of interest is set in the terms of the preferred stock, the quarterly preferred stock dividend payments are subject to approval by the Company’s board of directors.

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved, and received regulatory non-objection for, a share repurchase program of up to $20 million of the Company’s outstanding common shares. Under the program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market for a two-year period. ~~The Company estimates the dollar amount~~As of ~~common stock~~September 30, 2017, there remains $10.7 million available to be ~~repurchased in the remaining three months~~repurchased. The amount and timing of ~~2016~~additional repurchases, if any, will be ~~approximately $3.8 million, although this estimate could vary depending~~based on the ~~price~~Company’s continuous evaluation of the ~~Company’s common stock.~~

program.

Bank Liquidity. The Bank has established various borrowing arrangements to provide additional sources of liquidity and funding. Management believes that the Bank currently has adequate liquidity available to respond to current demands. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Boston, and as such, has access to short- and long-term borrowings from that institution. The FHLB can change the advance amounts that banks can utilize based on a bank’s current financial condition as obtained from publicly available data such as FDIC Call Reports. Decreases in the amount of FHLB borrowings available to the Bank would lower its liquidity and possibly limit the Bank’s ability to grow in the short-term. Management believes that the Bank has adequate liquidity to meet its commitments for the foreseeable future.

In addition to the above liquidity, the Bank has access to the Federal Reserve discount window facility, which can provide short-term liquidity as “lender of last resort,” brokered deposits, and federal funds lines. The use of non-core funding sources, including brokered deposits and borrowings, by the Bank may be limited by regulatory agencies. Generally, the regulatory agencies prefer that banks rely on core-funding sources for liquidity.

From time to time, the Bank purchases federal funds from the FHLB and other banking institutions to supplement its liquidity position. At September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, the Bank had unused federal fund lines of credit totaling ~~$465.0~~$495.0 million with correspondent institutions to provide it with immediate access to overnight borrowings, compared to ~~$565.0~~$485.0 million at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. At September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, the Bank had ~~$100.0~~$70.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the federal fund lines with these correspondent institutions ~~along with an additional $25.0~~and had $80.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the federal fund lines ~~with the FHLB. At~~at December 31, ~~2015,~~2016. Certain liquidity sources, such as federal funds lines, may be withdrawn by the ~~Bank had no outstanding borrowings under these federal fund lines.~~correspondent bank at any time especially in the event of financial deterioration of the institution.

The Bank has also negotiated brokered deposit agreements with several institutions that have nationwide distribution capabilities. At September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, the Bank had ~~$564.7~~$562.5 million of brokered deposits ~~(net of premiums paid)~~ outstanding under these agreements, compared to ~~$577.4~~$738.3 million at December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

If the Bank is no longer able to utilize the FHLB for borrowing, collateral currently used for FHLB borrowings could be transferred to other facilities such as the Federal Reserve’s discount window. In addition, the Bank could increase its usage of brokered deposits. Other borrowing arrangements may have higher rates than the FHLB would typically charge.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 was ~~$781.5~~$815.1 million, compared to ~~$746.6~~$768.5 million at December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, an increase of ~~$34.9~~$46.6 million, or 5%6%. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily the result of net income, ~~and~~ the change in other comprehensive ~~income,~~income/(loss), amortization of stock compensation, and the conversion of stock warrants, partially offset by dividends paid.

The Company currently has one class of warrants to purchase common stock outstanding. These warrants were initially issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “TARP warrants”). As of September 30, 2017, 1,832,755 warrants were outstanding, before adjusting for dividends paid ~~and~~on the ~~repurchase~~Company’s common stock in excess of ~~common stock.~~$0.01 per share. The TARP warrants expire in November 2018.

As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. For example, under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory guidelines. The Bank’s capital and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Similarly, the Company is also subject to capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve with respect to certain non-banking activities, including adjustments in connection with off-balance sheet items.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank adopted the BASEL III regulatory capital framework. Under BASEL III, the Company and the Bank were required to implement a new risk-weighted capital measure, ~~Common Equity Tier I~~common equity tier 1 (“CETI”), as well as a phased in capital conservation buffer. In addition, capital requirements for all banking organizations were increased. In order to avoid limitations on distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, a capital conservation buffer must be held above the minimum risk-based capital requirements. The new rules are phased-in through 2019. The Bank and Company were in compliance with all of the requirements of the capital conservation buffer as of September 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Company and the Bank must maintain specified minimum capital ratios. In addition, the Company and the Bank cannot be subject to any written agreement, order or capital directive or prompt corrective action to be considered “well capitalized.” Both the Company and the Bank maintained capital at levels that would be considered “well capitalized” as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 under the applicable regulations.

As of September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy required us to maintain minimum ratios of CETI, Tier 1, and total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to average assets (as defined in the regulations).

The following ~~table presents~~tables present the Company’s and the Bank’s amounts of regulatory capital and related ratios as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. Also presented are the minimum requirements established by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC as of those dates for the Company and the Bank, respectively, to meet applicable capital requirements and the requirements of the FDIC as of those dates for the Bank to be considered “well capitalized” under the FDIC’s prompt corrective action provisions.

On July 28, 2017, Boston Private Bank became a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve ~~the FDIC,~~ and the Massachusetts Division of Banks may impose higher capital ratios than those listed below based upon the results of regulatory exams. The Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under the FDIC’s prompt corrective action provisions as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

Bank regulatory authorities restrict the Bank from lending or advancing funds to, or investing in the securities of, the Company. Further, these authorities restrict the amounts available for the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company.

~~As of September 30, 2016, the~~The Company has sponsored the creation of two statutory trusts for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds in junior subordinated debentures of the Company. In accordance with ASC 810-10-55, Consolidation - Overall - Implementation Guidance and Illustrations - Variable Interest Entities, these statutory trusts created by the Company are not consolidated into the Company’s financial statements; however, the Company reflects the amounts of junior subordinated debentures payable to the preferred stockholders of statutory trusts as debt in its financial statements. As of both September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, all $100.0 million of the net balance of these trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1 capital.

~~Net Income.~~ The Company recorded net income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $19.7 million and $52.7 million, respectively, compared to $13.2 million and $48.5 million for the same respective periods in 2015. Net income attributable to the Company, which includes income from both continuing and discontinued operations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $19.6 million and $54.1 million, respectively, compared to $13.5 million and $49.9 million for the same respective periods in 2015.

The Company recognized diluted EPS attributable to common shareholders, which includes both continuing and discontinued operations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $0.22 per share and $0.62 per share, respectively, compared to $0.16 per share and $0.58 per share, respectively, for the same periods in 2015.

~~Net income from continuing operations in both 2016 and 2015 was offset by charges that reduce income available to common shareholders.~~ See Part I.

~~Net interest income~~. Net interest income represents the difference between interest earned, primarily on loans and investments, and interest paid on funding sources, primarily deposits and borrowings. Interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities. Net Interest Margin (“NIM”) is calculated by taking annualized net interest income for the period, on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis, as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The average rate earned on earning assets is the amount of annualized taxable equivalent interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities is equal to annualized interest expense as a percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities. When credit quality declines and loans are placed on nonaccrual status, NIM can decrease because the same assets are earning less income. Loans graded as substandard but still accruing interest income totaled $88.1 million at September 30, 2016 and could be placed on nonaccrual status if their credit quality declines further.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $49.9 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net interest income was $148.9 million, an increase of $11.3 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2015. The increase for the three and nine months is due to higher volume of loans, higher volume and yields on cash and investments, and lower average rates paid on the Company’s borrowings, partially offset by lower yields on loans and higher volume of borrowings and interest-bearing deposits. The NIM was 2.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of four basis points compared to the same period in 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the NIM was 2.92%, an increase of one basis point compared to the same period in 2015.

The following tables present the composition of the Company’s NIM on a FTE basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015; however, the discussion following these tables reflects non-FTE data.

~~Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2016~~was $56.6 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2015. Interest and dividend income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $169.2 million, an increase of $10.9 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2015. The increase for the three and nine months was primarily due to higher loan volume, and higher volume and yields on cash and investments, partially offset by lower yields on loans.

~~The Bank~~accounting principles generally has interest income that is either recovered or reversed related to nonaccrual loans each quarter. Based on the net amount recovered or reversed, the impact on interest income and related yields can be either positive or negative. In addition, the Bank collects prepayment penalties on certain commercial loans that pay off prior to maturity which could also impact interest income and related yields positively. The amount and timing of prepayment penalties varies from quarter to quarter.

For further details, see “Loan Portfolio and Credit Quality” above.

~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements~~

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~ ~~(“ASU 2014-09”), amending the ASC and creating a new Topic 606,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers.~~ This issuance was part of the joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not yet known. Additionally, ASU 2015-14, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~ ~~(“ASU 2014-09”) was issued in August 2015 which defers adoption to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.~~

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,~~ ~~Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.~~ This update is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based plans such as income tax consequences, classification of awards as either liabilities or equity on the balance sheet, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. Although early adoption is permitted, the Company does not plan on adopting prior to 2017. The Company does not expect that this ASU will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements although fluctuations in the Company’s stock price between issuance date and settlement date of employee share-based transactions will lead to fluctuations in earnings once this ASU is implemented.

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~. This ASU update is intended to increase transparency and comparability among companies by recognizing right of use lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be implemented utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company expects that this ASU will gross up the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the lease assets and liabilities.

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,~~ ~~Financial Instruments (Topic 326)~~ (“ASU 2016-13”). This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is available as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not plan on adopting early. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

~~In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,~~ ~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)~~ (“ASU 2016-15”). This update is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company does not expect that this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
