Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
This quarterly report presents the consolidated financial statements of Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Lakeland Bank (“Lakeland”) and Lakeland’s wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and predominant practices within the banking industry. The Company’s unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, such as normal recurring accruals that are in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 do not necessarily indicate the results that the Company will achieve for all of 2021.2022.
Certain information and footnote disclosures required under U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that are presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. Certain reclassifications have been made in the consolidated financial statements to conform with current year classifications.
Note 2 – Acquisitions
On January 6, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of 1st Constitution Bancorp ("1st Constitution"), a bank holding company headquartered in Cranbury, New Jersey. 1st Constitution was the parent of 1st Constitution Bank, which operated 25 branches in Bergen, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean and Somerset Counties in New Jersey. This acquisition enabled the Company to establish a presence in Mercer, Middlesex and Monmouth Counties and broaden its presence in the other counties. Effective as of the close of business on January 6, 2022, 1st Constitution merged into the Company and 1st Constitution Bank merged into Lakeland. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the shareholders of 1st Constitution received for each outstanding share of 1st Constitution common stock that they owned at the effective time of the merger, 1.3577 shares of Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. common stock. The Company issued 14,020,495 shares of its common stock in the merger. Outstanding 1st Constitution stock options were paid out in cash at the difference between $25.55 and an average strike price of $15.95 for a total cash payment of $559,000.
The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. 1st Constitution's assets were recorded at their preliminary estimated fair values as of January 6, 2022 and 1st Constitution's results of operations have been included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income from that date forward.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management's best estimates using information available at the date of the acquisition, including the use of a third-party valuation specialist. The calculation of goodwill is subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the transaction as additional information relative to closing date estimates and uncertainties becomes available. As the Company finalizes its analysis of these assets and liabilities, there may be adjustments to the recorded carrying values. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Loans acquired in the 1st Constitution acquisition were recorded at fair value and subsequently accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 310. There was no carryover related allowance for loan losses. The fair values of loans acquired from 1st Constitution were estimated using the discounted cash flow method based on the remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows were adjusted for estimated future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected cash flows were then discounted to present value based on the relative risk of the cash flows, taking into account the loan type, liquidity risk, maturity of the loans, servicing costs, and a required return on capital; the monthly principal and interest cash flows were discounted to present value and summed to arrive at the calculated value of loans.
For loans acquired without evidence of more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, the Company prepared the interest rate loan fair value and credit fair value adjustments. Loans were grouped into pools based on similar characteristics, such as loan type, fixed or adjustable interest rates, payment type, index rate and caps/floors, and non-accrual status. The loans were valued at the sub-pool level and were pooled at the summary level based on loan type. Market rates for similar loans were obtained from various internal and external data sources and reviewed by management for reasonableness. The average of these market rates was used as the fair value interest rate that a market participant would utilize.
Loans acquired that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are considered purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans. The Company evaluated acquired loans for deterioration in credit quality based on any of, but not limited to, the following: (1) non-accrual status; (2) troubled debt restructured designation; (3) risk ratings of special mention, substandard or doubtful; and (4) delinquency status. At the acquisition date, an estimate of expected credit losses is made for groups of PCD loans with similar risk characteristics and individual PCD loans without similar risk characteristics. Additionally for PCD loans, an allowance for loan losses was calculated using management's best estimate of projected losses over the remaining life of the loans, in accordance with ASC 326-20. This represents the portion of loan balances that has been deemed uncollectible based on the Company's expectation of future cash flows for the PCD loans. For loans that were put in collection status immediately, Management made a best estimate of the loan's fair value based on an analysis of the credit and our lien position. For all other loans, the fair value was determined using discounted cash flows as described above for non-PCD loans.

Net PCD loans$124,431 
    The Company acquired 25 branches through the 1st Constitution merger, 8 of which were owned premises. The fair value of the properties acquired was derived by valuations prepared by an independent third party using the sales comparison approach to value the property as improved.
As part of the 1st Constitution acquisition, the Company added 17 lease obligations. The Company recorded a $13.0 million right of use asset and lease liability for these lease obligations.
The core deposit intangible totaled $9.0 million and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately ten years using an accelerated method. The goodwill will be evaluated annually for impairment. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
The fair values of deposit liabilities with no stated maturities such as checking, money market and savings accounts, were assumed to equal the carrying amounts since these deposits are payable on demand. The fair values of certificates of deposit represent the present value of contractual cash flows discounted at market rates for similar certificates of deposit.
Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred. The Company incurred merger-related expenses of $4.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, that have been separately stated in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no merger-related expenses in the second quarter of 2022 or in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information
The following table presents financial information regarding the former 1st Constitution operations included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the date of the acquisition (January 6, 2022) through June 30, 2022. In addition the table provides condensed pro forma financial information assuming that the 1st Constitution acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2022 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022. The table has been prepared for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have been attained had the acquisitions occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it indicative of future results. The pro forma information does not reflect management's estimate of any revenue-enhancing opportunities nor anticipated cost savings that may have occurred as a result of the integration and consolidation of 1st Constitution's operations. The pro forma information reflects adjustments related to certain purchase accounting fair value adjustments, amortization of core deposit and other intangibles, and related income tax effects.

For available for sale securities, the Company assesses whether a loss is from credit or other factors and considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency and adverse conditions related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows is less than the amortized cost, a credit loss exists and an allowance is created, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis.
For held to maturity securities, management measures expected credit losses on a collective basis by major security type. All of the mortgage-backed securities are issued by U.S. government agencies and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses and, therefore, the expectation of non-payment is zero. A range of historical losses method is utilized in estimating the net amount expected to be collected for mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and obligations of states and political subdivisions.
The gross unrealized losses reported for residential mortgage-backed securities relate to investment securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities such as Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and U.S. government agencies such as Government National Mortgage Association. The total gross unrealized losses, shown in the tables above, were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and levels of market liquidity, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities.
Credit Quality Indicators
Credit ratings, which are updated monthly, are a key measure for estimating the probability of a bond's default and for monitoring credit quality on an on-going basis. For bonds other than U.S. Treasuries and bonds issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, credit ratings issued by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations are considered in conjunction with an assessment by the Company's management. Investment grade reflects a credit quality of BBB or above.

Credit Quality Indicators
Management closely and continually monitors the quality of its loans and assesses the quantitative and qualitative risks arising from the credit quality of its loans. Lakeland assigns a credit risk rating to all loans and loan commitments. The credit risk rating system has been developed by management to provide a methodology to be used by loan officers, department heads and senior management in identifying various levels of credit risk that exist within the loan portfolios. The risk rating system assists senior management in evaluating the loan portfolio and analyzing trends. In assigning risk ratings, management considers, among other things, the borrower’s ability to service the debt based on relevant information such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic conditions.
Management categorizes loans and commitments into the following risk ratings:
Pass: "Pass" assets are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or guarantors, if any, or by the fair value of any underlying collateral.
Watch: "Watch" assets require more than the usual amount of monitoring due to declining earnings, strained cash flow, increasing leverage and/or weakening market. These borrowers generally have limited additional debt capacity and modest coverage and average or below average asset quality, margins and market share. Any residential or consumer loan currently on deferment in accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act or the interagency statement issued by bank regulatory agencies has been classified by management as watch or worse.

Table of Contents


Special Mention: "Special mention" assets exhibit identifiable credit weakness, which if not checked or corrected could weaken the loan quality or inadequately protect the bank’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard: "Substandard" assets are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligors or of the collateral pledged, if any. A substandard loan has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.
18

Table of Contents


Doubtful: "Doubtful" assets that exhibit all of the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans, but have the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full improbable on the basis of existing facts.
Loss: “Loss” is a rating for loans or portions of loans that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable loans is not warranted.
The following table presents the risk category of loans by class of loan and vintage as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021:2022.

Past Due and Non-accrualNon-Accrual Loans
Loans are considered past due if required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were contractually due. A loan is generally considered non-performing when it is placed on non-accrual status. A loan is generally placed on non-accrual status when it becomes 90 days past due if such loan has been identified as presenting uncertainty with respect to the collectability of interest and principal. A loan past due 90 days or more may remain on accruing status if such loan is both well secured and in the process of collection.
In the absence of other intervening factors, loans granted payment deferrals related to COVID-19 are not reported as past due or placed on non-accrual status provided the borrowers have met the criteria in the CARES Act or otherwise have met the criteria included in an interagency statement issued by bank regulatory agencies.
The following tables present the payment status of the recorded investment in past due loans as of the periods noted, by class of loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
Loans are classified as troubled debt restructured loans ("TDR") in cases where borrowers experience financial difficulties and Lakeland makes certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms. Restructured loans typically involve a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate, a moratorium of principal payments and/or an extension of the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate of a new loan with similar risk.

Table of Contents


The CARES Act provided relief from TDR classification for certain loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic beginning March 1, 2020 through the earlier of 60 days after the end of the pandemic or December 31, 2020. Additionally, banking regulatory agencies issued interagency guidance that COVID-19 related short-term modifications (i.e., six months or less) granted to borrowers that were current as of the loan modification program implementation date do not need to be considered TDRs. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the "CAA"), which was signed into law on December 27, 2020, extended this guidance to modifications made until the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. The Company elected this provision of the CARES Act and excluded modified loans that met the required guidelines for relief from its TDR classification. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, no loans were on COVID-related deferrals as the remaining 90-day loan deferments expired and borrowers began paying their pre-deferral loan payments in the first quarter of 2021. For most commercial loans, borrowers are paying their pre-deferral loan payments plus an additional monthly amount to catch up on the payments that were deferred. None of these modifications were considered TDRs.
At SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, TDRs totaled $3.7$4.1 million and $5.0$3.5 million, respectively. Accruing TDRs totaled $3.4$3.2 million and non-accrual TDRs totaled $241,000$928,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022. Accruing TDRs and non-accrual TDRs totaled $3.9$3.3 million and $1.1 million,$127,000, respectively, at December 31, 2020.2021. There was 1 consumer loan totaling $116,000were no loans that waswere restructured during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and 2021 and that met the definition of a TDR, while no loans were restructured during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.TDR. There were no restructured loans that subsequently defaulted in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021; however, 1 construction loan totaling $694,000 that was a TDR within the previous twelve months had subsequently defaulted in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.2022 and 2021.

See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 for a description of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and the Company's allowance methodology.The Company recorded an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans of $6.7 million effective January 1, 2020.

The allowance is measured on a collective, or pool, basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share common risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, loans totaling $5.86$7.28 billion were evaluated collectively and the allowance on these balances totaled $57.3$62.2 million and loans totaling $126.2 million were evaluated on an individual basis totaled $16.6 million with the specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses totaling $666,000.$6.6 million. Loans evaluated on an individual basis include $105.0 million in PCD loans, which had a specific allowance for credit losses of $3.7 million.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Off-Balance-Sheet Exposures
The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures is reported in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liability represents an estimate of expected credit losses arising from off balance sheet exposures such as letters of credit, guarantees and unfunded loan commitments. The process for measuring lifetime expected credit losses on these exposures is consistent with that for loans as discussed above, but is subject to an additional estimate reflecting the likelihood that funding will occur. No liability is recognized for off balance sheet credit exposures that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Adjustments to the liability are reported as a component of the provision for credit losses.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 at December 31, 2020, and recorded a decrease in the allowance for credit losses for off-balance-sheet exposures of $498,000 effective January 1, 2020. Prior year disclosures have not been restated.

Note 67 – Leases
The Company leases certain premises and equipment under operating leases. Portions of certain properties are subleased for terms extending through 2027. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Company had lease liabilities totaling $16.1$27.6 million and right-of-use assets totaling $14.8$26.2 million related to these leases. At December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had lease liabilities totaling $18.2$16.5 million and right-of-use assets totaling $16.8$15.2 million. The calculated amount of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments. The Company's lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company's discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term.
For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 9.5411.91 years and the weighted average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 3.46%3.02%.

Note 1011 – Revenue Recognition
The Company’s primary source of revenue is interest income generated from loans and investment securities. Interest income is recognized according to the terms of the financial instrument agreement over the life of the loan or investment security unless it is determined that the counterparty is unable to continue making interest payments. Interest income also includes prepaid interest fees from commercial customers, which approximates the interest foregone on the balance of the loan prepaid.
The Company’s additional source of income, also referred to as noninterest income, is generated from deposit related fees, interchange fees, loan fees, merchant fees, loan sales, investment services and other miscellaneous income and is largely based on contracts with customers. In these cases, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The Company considers a customer to be any party to which the Company will provide goods or services that are an output of the Company’s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration. There is little seasonality with regards to revenue from contracts with customers and all inter-company revenue is eliminated when the Company’s financial statements are consolidated.
Generally, the Company enters into contracts with customers that are short-term in nature where the performance obligations are fulfilled and payment is processed at the same time. Such examples include revenue related to merchant fees, interchange fees and investment services income. In addition, revenue generated from existing customer relationships such as deposit accounts are also considered short-term in nature, because the relationship may be terminated at any time and payment is processed at the time performance obligations are fulfilled. As a result, the Company does not have contract assets, contract liabilities or related receivable accounts for contracts with customers. In cases where collectability is a concern, the Company does not record revenue.
29

Table of Contents


Generally, the pricing of transactions between the Company and each customer is either (i) established within a legally enforceable contract between the two parties, as is the case with loan sales, or (ii) disclosed to the customer at a specific point in time, as is the case when a deposit account is opened or before a new loan is underwritten. Fees are usually fixed at a specific amount or as a percentage of a transaction amount. No judgment or estimates by management are required to record revenue related to these transactions and pricing is clearly identified within these contracts.
The Company primarily operates in 1 geographic region, Northern and Central New Jersey and contiguous areas. Therefore, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as 1 operating segment or unit.
We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by contract-type and timing of revenue recognition, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Noninterest income not generated from customers during the Company’s ordinary activities primarily relates to income from bank owned life insurance, gains/losses on the sale of investment securities, gains/losses on the sale of other real estate owned, gains/losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment and mortgage servicing rights.

Note 1314 – Derivatives
Lakeland is a party to interest rate derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. Lakeland executes interest rate swaps with commercial lending customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. These interest rate swaps with customers are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps that Lakeland executes with a third-party financial institution, such that Lakeland minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. Because the interest rate swaps do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. The changes in the fair value of the swaps offset each other, except for the credit risk of the counterparties, which is determined by taking into consideration the risk rating, probability of default and loss given default for all counterparties. Lakeland had $60.5$4.9 million and $83.2$55.1 million in investment securities available for sale pledged for collateral on its interest rate swaps with financial institutions at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.
In June 2016, the Company entered into 2 cash flow hedges in order to hedge the variable cash outflows associated with its subordinated debentures. The notional value of these hedges was $30.0 million. The Company’s objectives in using cash flow hedges arewas to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. The Company used interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges which involved the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. In these particular hedges, the Company iswas paying a third party an average of 1.10% in exchange for a payment at the 3 month LIBOR.LIBOR rate. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify

as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not record any hedge ineffectiveness. The Company reclassified $8,000 and $58,000 of accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recognized $142,000 of accumulated other comprehensive loss that was reclassified into interest expense for the first nine months of 2021 and $17,000 of accumulated other comprehensive income that was reclassified into interest expense for same period in 2020. On June 30, 2021, $20.0 million in notional value of the swaps matured and on August 1, 2021, the remaining $10.0 million matured.
The Company reclassified $69,000 of accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense for the second quarter of 2021 and $134,000 first six months of 2021. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives were reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s debt.

Note 1415 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company had goodwill of $271.8 million at June 30, 2022 and $156.3 million at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.2021. The Company recorded $115.6 million in goodwill from the 1st Constitution merger in January 2022 as further described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company reviews its goodwill and intangible assets annually, on November 30, or more frequently if conditions warrant, for impairment. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company has determined that it has 1 reporting unit. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, there were no triggering events that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our 1 reporting unit below its carrying amount. There was no impairment of goodwill recognized during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.
The Company had core deposit intangibles of $2.6$10.2 million and $3.3$2.4 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The Company recorded core deposit intangible of $9.0 million in connection with the 1st Constitution acquisition. Amortization of core deposit intangible totaled $211,000$593,000 and $250,000$221,000 for the thirdsecond quarters of 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, and $658,000$1.2 million and $776,000$447,000 for the first ninesix months ofended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Note 1516 – Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest level priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The following describes the three levels of fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; includes U.S. Treasury Notes, and other U.S. Government Agency securities that actively trade in over-the-counter markets; equity securities and mutual funds that actively trade in over-the-counter markets.
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability including yield curves, volatilities and prepayment speeds.
Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and that are consequently not based on market activity but upon particular valuation techniques.
The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are its investment securities available for sale, equity securities and its interest rate swaps. The Company obtains fair values on its securities using information from a third-party servicer. If quoted prices for securities are available in an active market, those securities are classified as Level 1 securities. The Company has U.S. Treasury Notes that are classified as Level 1 securities. Level 2 securities were primarily comprised of U.S. Agency bonds, residential mortgage-backed securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions and corporate securities. Fair values were estimated primarily by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or through the use of pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids and offers. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the pricing information received from the Company’s third-party pricing service. This review includes a comparison to non-binding third-party quotes.
The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models from a third party using current market terms (including interest rates and fees), the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit worthiness of the counter party as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company has a held for sale loan portfolio that consists of residential mortgages that are being sold in the secondary market. The Company records these mortgages at the lower of cost or fair market value. Fair value is generally determined by the value of purchase commitments.
Loans that do not have similar risk characteristics to the segments reported must be individually evaluated to determine an appropriate allowance. Management has identified criteria and procedures for identifying whether a loan should be individually evaluated for calculation of expected credit losses. If a loan is identified as meeting any of the criteria, it is deemed to have risk characteristics that are unique and will be separated from a pool. Those loans that are considered to have unique risk characteristics are then subjected to an individual allowance evaluation using either the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if collateral-dependent or the discounted cash flow method.
Other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets, representing property acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, are carried at fair value less estimated disposal costs of the acquired property. Fair value on other real estate owned is based on the appraised value of the collateral using discount rates or capitalization rates similar to those used in impaired loan valuation. The fair value of other repossessed assets is estimated by inquiry through a recognized valuation resource. At SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had no OREO or other repossessed assets.
Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Changes in economic conditions, locally or nationally, could impact the value of the estimated amounts of impairedindividually evaluated loans, OREO and other repossessed assets.
The following table summarized the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

Fair Value of Certain Financial Instruments
Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best available data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. Management is concerned that there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.
The estimation methodologies used, the estimated fair values and recorded book balances at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, are outlined below.
This summary, as well as the table below, excludes financial assets and liabilities for which carrying value approximates fair value. For financial assets, these include cash and cash equivalents. For financial liabilities, these include noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The estimated fair value of demand, savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Carrying value is used because there is no stated maturity on these accounts, and the customer has the ability to withdraw the funds immediately. Also excluded from this summary and the following table are those financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, as previously described.
The fair value of investment securities held to maturity is measured using information from the same third-party servicer used for investment securities available for sale using the same methodologies discussed above.
FHLB stock is an equity interest that can be sold to the issuing FHLB, to other FHLBs, or to other member banks at its par value. Because ownership of these securities is restricted, they do not have a readily determinable fair value. As such, the Company’s FHLB stock is recorded at cost or par value and is evaluated for impairment each reporting period by considering the ultimate recoverability of the investment rather than temporary declines in value. The Company’s evaluation primarily includes an evaluation of liquidity, capitalization, operating performance, commitments, and regulatory or legislative events.
The net loan portfolio has been valued using an exit price approach, which incorporates a buildup discount rate calculation that uses a swap rate adjusted for credit risk, servicing costs, a liquidity premium and a prepayment premium.

Table of Contents


For fixed maturity certificates of deposit, fair value is estimated based on the present value of discounted cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
The fair value of long-term debt is based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The Company estimates the discount rate using the rates currently offered for similar borrowing arrangements. The fair value of subordinated debentures is based on bid/ask prices from brokers for similar types of instruments.
The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are deemed immaterial.

Executive Summary
COVID-19 continues to impact the Company's financial results and consumer and commercial behaviors in the markets we serve and we continue to monitor developments related to COVID-19, including, but not limited to, its impact on our employees, our customers and the communities we serve. Our branch lobbies are open at normal operating hours for customers. Proper protocols are in place in our branches and corporate offices to ensure the continued safety of our associates and customers.
The Company may experience changes in the value of collateral securing outstanding loans, reductions in the credit quality of borrowers and the inability of borrowers to repay loans in accordance with their terms. Management is actively managing credit risk in the Company's commercial loan portfolio. The Company was an active participant in the Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), assisting customers with applications during the program. The Company had PPP balances of $109.3 million outstanding at September 30, 2021 and believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. The Company granted payment deferrals to borrowers impacted by COVID-19 as provided for under the CARES Act. All COVID-related loan deferments have expired and borrowers began paying their pre-deferral loan payments.
Management has identified that the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the liquidity of the Company. As such, management has taken specific steps to minimize the risk. In addition to processes already in place to closely monitor changes in liquidity needs, including those that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic,On January 6, 2022, the Company has increased collateral and expanded access to additional borrowings should it be necessary in order to meet liquidity needs. While the Company is unable to predict actual fluctuations in deposit or cash balances, management continues to monitor liquidity and believes thatcompleted its current levelacquisition of liquidity is sufficient to meet its current and future operational needs.
In addition, the carrying value of investment securities, right-of-use assets, goodwill and other intangibles could decrease, resulting in future impairment losses. Management will continue to evaluate current economic conditions to determine if a triggering event would impact the current valuations for these assets. As a result, it is not currently possible to ascertain the overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business.

Provision for Credit Losses
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost at December 31, 2020, effective January 1, 2020. The Company applied the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment of $3.4 million to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of expected credit losses for financial assets, including investments, loans and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures, measured at amortized cost. Quarterly amounts for the third quarter of 2020 do not reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-13.
In determining the allowance for credit losses on investments, loans and off-balance-sheet credit exposures, management measures expected credit losses based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, prepayments and future economic conditions. The key assumptions of the methodology include the lookback periods, historic net charge-off factors, economic forecasts, reversion periods, prepayments and qualitative adjustments. The Company uses its best judgment to assess economic conditions and loss data in estimating the allowance for credit losses.
In the thirdsecond quarter of 2021,2022, a $2.7$3.6 million benefitprovision for credit losses was recorded, compared to an $8.0a $6.0 million provisionbenefit for credit losses for the same period last year. The benefitprovision is comprised of a benefitprovision for credit losses on loans of $2.7$1.6 million, a benefit for the provision on off-balance-sheet exposures of $72,000 and a provision for credit losses on securities of $75,000.$1.5 million and a provision on off-balance-sheet exposures of $535,000. The benefitincrease in the provision for credit losses on loans was related to a deterioration of macroeconomic factors. The provision for credit losses on securities during the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due primarily to an improvementincreased unrealized losses on lower credit rated securities within our portfolio resulting from a rise in forecasted macroeconomic conditions, a decrease in nonperforming assets and continued strength in asset quality of loans.market interest rates. The Company recorded loan charge-offs of $996,000$369,000 and recoveries on loans of $1.3 million$510,000 in the thirdsecond quarter of 20212022 compared to loan charge-offs of $682,000$1.9 million and loan recoveries of $85,000$312,000 in the thirdsecond quarter of 2020.2021.

Its equipment finance division serves a broader market with a primary focus on December 27, 2020. The programs provided funding for the Small Business Administration ("SBA") to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). As a qualified SBA lender, we were automatically authorized to originate PPP loans under both programs. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers with loan forgiveness under the PPP so long as employee and compensation levels of the business are maintained and the loan proceeds are used for payroll and other qualifying expenses. In addition, Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as interpreted by the "Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working With Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)" (the “Revised Statement”), dated April 17, 2020, included criteria that enable financial institutions to exclude from TDR status loans that are modified for customers affected by COVID-19.
The information below for September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is presented in accordance with ASU 2016-13.

Risk Elements
Commercial loans are placed on a non-accrual status with all accrued interest and unpaid interest reversed if (a) because of the deterioration in the financial position of the borrower, they are maintained on a cash basis (which means payments are applied when and as received rather than on a regularly scheduled basis), (b) payment of all contractual principal and interest is not expected, or (c) principal and interest have been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the obligation is both well-secured and in process of collection. Residential mortgage loans and closed-end consumer loans are placed on non-accrual status at the time principal and interest have been in default for a period of 90 days or more, except where there exists sufficient collateral to cover the defaulted principal and interest payments, and the loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. Open-end consumer loans secured by real estate are generally placed on non-accrual status and reviewed for charge-off when principal and interest payments are four months in arrears unless the obligations are well-secured and in the process of collection. Interest thereafter on such charged-off consumer loans is taken into income when received only after full recovery of principal. As a general rule, a non-accrual asset may be restored to accrual status when none of its

principal or interest is due and unpaid and satisfactory payments have been received for a sustained period (usually six months), or when it otherwise becomes well-secured and in the process of collection.

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDR") are those loans where the Company has granted concessions to the borrower in payment terms, either in rate or in term, as a result of the financial condition of the borrower. The CARES Act provided relief from TDR classification for certain loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic beginning March 1, 2020 through the earlier of 60 days after the end of the pandemic orOn June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2020. Additionally, banking regulatory agencies issued interagency guidance that COVID-19 related short-term modifications (i.e., six months or less) granted to borrowers that were current as of the loan modification program implementation date do not need to be considered TDRs. In December 2020, the CAA extended this guidance to modifications made until the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. The Company elected these provisions of the CARES Act and CAA and excluded modified loans that met the required guidelines for relief from its TDR classification. On September 30, 2021, the Company had $3.4$3.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in loans that were TDRs and accruing interest income compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2020.income.

At September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had $115.2$93.4 million and $139.4$102.3 million, respectively, of loans that were rated substandard that were not classified as non-performing. There were no loans at SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, other than those designated non-performing or substandard, where the Company was aware of any credit conditions of any borrowers or obligors that would indicate a strong possibility of the borrowers not complying with present terms and conditions of repayment and which may result in such loans being included as non-accrual, past due or renegotiated at a future date.
Allowance for credit losses on loans
The Company adopted accounts for the allowance for credit losses using Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13,2016-13"), which requires the measurement of expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Under the standard, the Company's methodology for determining the allowance for credit losses on loans is based upon key assumptions, including the lookback periods, historic net charge-off factors, economic forecasts, reversion periods, prepayments and qualitative adjustments. The
46

allowance is measured on a collective, or pool, basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share common risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation.
The overall balance of the allowance for credit losses on loans of $58.0$68.8 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2021 decreased $13.22022 increased $10.8 million from December 31, 2020, a decrease2021, an increase of 19% due primarily to an improvement in forecasted macroeconomic conditions, a reduction in nonperforming assets and continued strength in asset quality. The change in theday one PCD allowance within loan segments during the two comparable periods is principally due to changes in the Company's level of loan growth and the impact of changes in various economic factors on particular segments.

The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) was signed into law during the second quarter of 2018. The Act, among other matters, amends the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to require federal banking agencies to develop a specified Community Bank Leverage Ratio (the ratio of a bank's equity capital to its average total consolidated assets) for banks with assets of less than $10 billion. Qualifying participating banks that exceed this ratio shall be deemed to comply with all other capital and leverage requirements. In September 2019, the FDIC approved a final rule allowing community banks with a leverage capital ratio of at least 9% to be considered in compliance with Basel III capital requirements and exempt from the Basel Calculation. Under the final rule, banks with less than $10 billion in assets may elect the community bank leverage ratio framework if they meet the 9% ratio and if they hold 25% or less of assets in off-balance sheet exposures, and 5% or less of assets in trading assets and liabilities. For institutions that fall below the 9% capital requirement but remain above 8%, the final rule establishes a two-quarter grace period to either meet the qualifying criteria again or comply with the generally applicable capital rule. The Company and Lakeland Bank elected not to use the Community Bank Leverage Ratio framework.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reported amounts are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s management uses certain supplemental non-GAAP information in its analysis of the Company’s financial results. Specifically, the Company provides measurements and ratios based on tangible equity and tangible assets. These measures are utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors.
The Company also provides measures based on what it believes are its operating earnings on a consistent basis, and excludes material non-routine operating items which affect the GAAP reporting of results of operations. The Company’s management believes that providing this information to analysts and investors allows them to better understand and evaluate the Company’s core financial results for the periods in question.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020,June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Update 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)" ("ASU 2022-03"). The guidance clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibits the sale of an equity security, amends a related illustrative example, and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. This ASU will be effective for financial statements issued by public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company does not expect ASU 2022-03 to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In March 2022, FASB issued Update 2022-02, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) and Vintage Disclosures" ("ASU 2022-02"). The guidance amends ASC 326 to eliminate the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructuring activities by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying TDR recognition and measurement guidance, creditors will determine whether a modification results in a new loan or continuation of existing loan. These amendments are intended to enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the amendments to ASC 326 require that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination within the vintage disclosures, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination. The guidance is only for entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption using prospective application, including adoption in an interim period where the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2022-02 on its disclosures and control structure; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, FASB issued Update 2021-08, an update to Topic 805, Business Combinations. The update provides guidance to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The amendment provides specific guidance on how to recognize and measure acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that enter into a business combination within the scope of Subtopic 805-10, Business Combinations - Overall. This ASU will be effective for financial statements issued by public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In March 2020, FASB issued Update 2020-04, an update to Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform. The update provides guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform on financial reporting. The update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met and only applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In addition, the update provides optional expedients for applying the requirements of certain Topics or Industry Subtopics in the Codification for contracts that are modified because of reference rate reform and contemporaneous modifications of other contract terms related to the replacement of the reference rate. The ASU allows companies to apply the standard as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 or any date thereafter. The Company is currently assessing the impact to its financial statements; however, the impact is not expected to be material.
In January 2020, FASB issued Update 2020-01, an update to Topic 321, Investments, Topic 323, Joint Ventures and Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The update clarifies the accounting for certain equity securities upon the application or discontinuation of the equity method of accounting in accordance with Topic 321. In addition, the update clarifies scope considerations for forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities. This update was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The update did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In December 2019, FASB issued Update 2019-12, an update to Topic 740, Income Taxes, as part of an initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards for income taxes. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This update will beis effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company doesupdate did not expect the update to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company manages interest rate risk and market risk by identifying and quantifying interest rate risk exposures using simulation analysis and economic value at risk models. Net interest income simulation considers the relative sensitivities of the balance sheet including the effects of interest rate caps on adjustable rate mortgages and the relatively stable aspects of core deposits. As such, net interest income simulation is designed to address the probability of interest rate changes and the behavioral response of the balance sheet to those changes. Market Value of Portfolio Equity represents the fair value of the net present value of assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet items. Changes in estimates and assumptions made for interest rate sensitivity modeling could have a significant impact on projected results and conclusions. These assumptions could include prepayment rates, sensitivity of non-maturity deposits and other similar assumptions. Therefore, if our assumptions should change, this technique may not accurately reflect the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company’s net interest income or net portfolio value.
The starting point (or “base case”) for the following table is an estimate of the following year’s net interest income assuming that both interest rates and the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at period-end levels. The net interest income estimated for this purpose for the next twelve months (the base case) is $212.7$316.5 million. The information provided for net interest income assumes that changes in interest rates change gradually in equal increments (“rate ramp”) over the twelve month period.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in net interest income requires the making of certain assumptions regarding prepayment and deposit decay rates, which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. While management believes such assumptions are reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates and decay rates will approximate actual future loan prepayment and deposit withdrawal activity. Moreover, the net interest income table presented assumes that the composition of interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net interest income table provides an indication of the Company’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurement is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results.
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
(a)Disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and are operating in an effective manner and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
