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~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 do not necessarily indicate the results that the Company will achieve for all of 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, 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~~goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for 1st Constitution.

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.

Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable difference)	(3,792)
Allowance for credit losses on PCD loans	(12,077)
Net PCD loans	$	124,431

The Company acquired 25 branches through the 1st Constitution merger, 78 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 ~~merger-related expenses~~ during the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2022, ~~which~~that have been separately stated in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no merger-related expenses in the ~~first~~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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company transferred $494.2 million of previously designated available for sale securities to a held to maturity designation at estimated fair value. The reclassification for the period ended September 30, 2021 was permitted as the Company has appropriately determined the ability and intent to hold these securities as an investment until maturity or call. The securities transferred had an unrealized net gain of $3.8 million at the time of transfer, which is reflected, net of taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent amortization will be recognized over the life of the securities. The Company recorded amortization, net ~~amortization~~ of ~~$135,000~~tax, of $148,000 and $283,000 during the ~~first quarter of 2022.~~three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

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.

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.

1718

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Past Due and Non-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.

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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, TDRs totaled ~~$3.4~~$4.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Accruing TDRs totaled ~~$3.3~~$3.2 million and non-accrual TDRs totaled ~~$127,000~~$928,000 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Accruing TDRs and non-accrual TDRs totaled $3.3 million and $127,000, respectively, at December 31, 2021. There were no loans that were restructured during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021 that met the definition of a TDR. There were no restructured loans that subsequently defaulted in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Note 6 - Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company measures expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, investments and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures in accordance with ASU 2016-13. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a description of the Company's methodology.

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 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, loans totaling ~~$7.01~~$7.28 billion were evaluated collectively and the allowance on these balances totaled ~~$59.1~~$62.2 million and loans totaling $126.2 million were evaluated on an individual basis ~~totaled $132.0 million~~ with the specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses totaling ~~$8.0~~$6.6 million. Loans evaluated on an individual basis include ~~$114.3~~$105.0 million in PCD loans, which had a specific allowance for credit losses of ~~$4.6~~$3.7 million. The Company made the election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the estimate of credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The allowance for credit losses on loans is summarized in the following table:

The provision for credit losses on loans for the ~~three~~second quarter of 2022 was due to an increase in the baseline estimate due to increased loan balances while the provision for the six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 was predominantly due to the provision for the 1st Constitution's acquired non-purchased credit deteriorated loans ~~while~~and the additional charge-offs on PCD loans. The benefit for credit losses for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, was largely due to an improvement in ~~economic conditions.~~macroeconomic factors. Charge-offs in the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2022 include $7.6 million in charge-offs on 1st Constitution's acquired PCD loans. Non-performing loans totaling ~~$10.1~~$5.0 million and $15.1 million were sold during the ~~first quarter of~~three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, resulting in net charge-offs of ~~$1.1 million.~~$75,000 and $1.2 million, respectively.

Accrued interest receivable on securities is reported as a component of accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and totaled ~~$7.9~~$8.2 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and $5.3 million and December 31, 2021. The Company made the election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the estimate of credit losses on securities.

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.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures was ~~$2.8~~$3.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on off-balance-sheet exposures in other operating expense of ~~$440,000 and $24,000~~$535,000 for the ~~three~~second quarter of 2022 and a benefit for credit losses on off-balance-sheet exposures of $659,000 for the second quarter of 2021. For the six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses on off-balance-sheet exposures in other operating expense of $975,000 and ~~2021, respectively.~~a benefit for credit losses on off-balance-sheet exposures of $635,000 for the same period in 2021.

Note 7 – Leases

The Company leases certain premises and equipment under operating leases. Portions of certain properties are subleased for terms extending through 2027. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company had lease liabilities totaling ~~$28.7~~$27.6 million and right-of-use assets totaling ~~$27.3~~$26.2 million related to these leases. At December 31, 2021, the Company had lease liabilities totaling $16.5 million and right-of-use assets totaling $15.2 ~~million. As a result of the Company's acquisition of 1st Constitution, the Company obtained right-of use assets in exchange for new operating lease liabilities of $13.0~~ 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.

Note 11 – 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.

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 14 – 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 ~~$48.5~~$4.9 million and $55.1 million in investment securities available for sale pledged for collateral on its interest rate swaps with financial institutions at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 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 was 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 was paying a third party an average of 1.10% in exchange for a

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. 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 ~~$65,000~~$69,000 of accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense for the second quarter of 2021 and $134,000 first ~~quarter~~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 15 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company had goodwill of $271.8 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and $156.3 million at December 31, 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 six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 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 six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The Company had core deposit intangibles of ~~$10.8~~$10.2 million and $2.4 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 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 ~~$596,000~~$593,000 and ~~$226,000~~$221,000 for the ~~first~~second quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.2 million and $447,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 16 – 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 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 individually 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 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.

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.

The following table presents the carrying values, fair values and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments not carried at fair value as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Excluding merger-related expenses pertaining to the Company’s January 2022 acquisition of 1st Constitution of $3.6 million, tax-effected, net income for the first~~second quarter of ~~2022 was $19.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted share.~~

2021. For the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022, annualized return on average assets was ~~0.64%~~1.15%, annualized return on average common equity was ~~5.89%~~10.71% and annualized return on average tangible common equity was ~~7.88%. Excluding merger-related expenses these ratios were 0.78%~~14.45% compared to 1.41%, ~~7.21%~~14.07%, and ~~9.64%~~17.67%, ~~respectively. For more information, please see "Reconciliation of Net Income" in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.~~

Inrespectively, for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company ~~recorded a~~reported net income of $45.0 million, compared to $50.6 million for the same period in 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported earnings per diluted share of $0.69 compared to $0.98 earnings per diluted share reported for the first six months of 2021. For the first six months of 2022, annualized return on average assets was 0.89%, annualized return on average common equity was 8.31%, and annualized return on average tangible common equity was 11.16% compared to 1.32%, 13.15% and 16.55%, respectively, for the same period in 2021.

The second quarter and year-to-date 2022 results were negatively impacted by provision for credit losses of ~~$6.3~~$3.6 million and $9.9 million, respectively, compared to a ~~negative provision~~benefit of ~~$2.6~~$6.0 million and $8.6 million for the same periods last year. The benefit for credit losses in 2021 was due primarily to an improvement in forecasted macroeconomic conditions, following the ~~first quarter~~initial impacts of ~~2021.~~COVID-19 in 2020, a reduction in non-performing assets and continued strength in asset quality.

Net interest margin ~~was 3.02% in~~for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 of 3.38% increased 11 basis points compared to ~~3.19% in~~ the second quarter of 2021 and increased 36 basis points compared to the linked first quarter of2022. Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 3.20% as compared to 3.23% for the same period in 2021. The ~~decrease~~increase in net interest margin compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 was due primarily to an increase in ~~lower yielding average federal funds sold~~the volume of interest-earning assets, an increase in yields on interest-earning assets and a ~~reduction in yield on investment securities partially offset by a reduction~~decrease in the cost of interest-bearing ~~liabilities.~~liabilities, while the decrease in the net interest margin in the year-to-date periods was due to lower yields on interest-earning assets.

The ~~decrease~~increase in net income compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 was due primarily to ~~$4.6~~an increase of $20.6 million in ~~merger related expenses~~net interest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $11.0 million and a provision for credit losses of ~~$6.3~~$3.6 million, which compared to a negative provision of ~~$2.6~~$6.0 million recorded in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. The Company’s net interest income is determined by: (i) the volume of interest-earning assets that it holds and the yields that it earns on those assets, and (ii) the volume of interest-bearing liabilities that it has assumed and the rates that it pays on those liabilities.

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 was ~~$70.7~~$80.7 million, compared to ~~$56.9~~$59.9 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021. The net interest margin increased 11 basis points to 3.38% in the second quarter of 2022 from 3.27% in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net interest income compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 was due primarily to growth inof loans and investment securities and higher loan prepayment fees and non-accrual interest recoveries during the ~~volume of interest-earning assets and a reduction in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. The net interest margin decreased to 3.02% in the first~~second quarter of 2022 from 3.19% in the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to an increase in lower yielding average federal funds sold and a reduction in yield on investment securities partially offset by a reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.2022.

Average loans increased $1.15 billion to $7.23 billion in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $6.08 billion in the second quarter of 2021, due to ~~$76.3 million~~the acquisition of 1st Constitution. The yield earned on loans increased by 23 basis points to 4.22% in the first quarter of 2022. The impact of the growth in the volume of interest-earning assets was offset by a 31 basis point reduction in the yield on interest-earning assets Average loans increased $931.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2021, while the yield on average loans increased one basis point to 3.92% in the firstsecond quarter of 2022 from the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2021.~~2021 due primarily to the increase in market rates. Total average taxable investment securities increased ~~$793.1~~$888.8 million to ~~$1.67~~$1.83 billion for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 from the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, while average tax-exempt securities increased ~~$223.0~~$233.3 million to ~~$345.0~~$360.7 million for the same ~~periods.~~periods, due to the acquisition of 1st Constitution and purchases of investment securities. The yield on average taxable investment securities ~~decreased 21~~increased nine basis points from the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 to ~~1.60%~~1.81% for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022, while the yield on average tax-exempt investment securities decreased 6348 basis points to ~~1.91%~~2.02% due to declines in market ~~interest rates~~conditions during the ~~period.~~period and an increase in bond anticipation note purchases at lower rates. Average federal funds sold in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 ~~increased $326.3~~decreased $25.4 million compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, while the yield increased ~~five~~44 basis points to ~~0.16%~~0.55% for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 as short-term market rates have risen in 2022.

Total interest expense of ~~$5.6~~$6.6 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 ~~was~~increased by $1.1 million ~~less than~~from the ~~$6.7~~$5.5 million reported for the same period in 2021. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from ~~0.51%~~0.42% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 to ~~0.34%~~0.40% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022, ~~and was~~ largely driven by ~~reductions~~the reduction in ~~market interest rates~~the cost of long-term borrowings on the Company's subordinated notes and ~~a change in mix~~lower interest-bearing deposit costs. Total interest-bearing deposits increased by $1.31 billion from the second quarter of 2021 to $6.33 billion, while the cost of interest-bearing ~~liabilities.~~deposits decreased three basis points. For the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022, lower cost savings and interest bearing transaction account average balances increased ~~$526.4~~$514.1 million and ~~$1.01 billion,~~$873.5 million, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2021, while higher cost average time deposits decreased ~~$165.5~~$76.7 million. Additionally, in September 2021 the Company issued $150.0 million Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes at a fixed rate of 2.875% and redeemed $75.0 million of its outstanding 5.125% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes, which ~~reduced~~contributed to a decrease in the average cost of ~~long term borrowings.~~long-term borrowings of 53 basis points, to 2.99% in the second quarter of 2022 from 3.52% in the second quarter of 2021. Partially offsetting the impact of the decline in the cost of funds was a growth in average interest-bearing liabilities of ~~$1.48~~$1.43 billion during the same period.

Provision for Credit Losses

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 ~~first~~second quarter of 2022, a ~~$6.3~~$3.6 million provision for credit losses was recorded, compared to ~~an $2.6~~a $6.0 million benefit for credit losses for the same period last year. The provision is comprised of a provision for credit losses on loans of ~~$4.6~~$1.6 million, ~~a provision on off-balance-sheet exposures of $440,000 and~~ a provision for credit losses on securities of ~~$1.2 million.~~$1.5 million and a provision on off-balance-sheet exposures of $535,000. The increase in the provision for credit losses on loans was related to ~~provision for the 1st Constitution non-purchased credit deteriorated loans partially offset by~~ a ~~decline in the provision due to an improvement in~~deterioration of macroeconomic factors. The provision for credit losses on securities during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to increased unrealized losses on lower credit rated securities within our ~~portfolio. The increase in unrealized losses is primarily due to the~~portfolio resulting from a rise in market interest rates. The Company recorded loan charge-offs of ~~$7.8 million predominately related to 1st Constitution purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans~~$369,000 and recoveries on loans of ~~$162,000~~$510,000 in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 compared to loan charge-offs of ~~$1.3~~$1.9 million and loan recoveries of ~~$206,000~~$312,000 in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Net Income

Net income was $45.0 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2022 compared to net income of $50.6 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2021. Net income decreased primarily as a result of increases of $27.0 million in noninterest expense and $18.5 million in provision for credit losses, partially offset by a $34.2 million increase in net interest income.

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the first six months of 2022 was $151.4 million, compared to $116.8 million for the first six months of 2021. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to an increase in the volume of interest-earning assets and loan yields, as well as a reduction in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. The net interest margin of 3.20% in the first six months of 2022 decreased from 3.23% for the same period in 2021, primarily due to a decrease in the yield on investment securities. The components of net interest income are discussed in greater detail below.

On a tax equivalent basis, interest income increased $34.7 million, or 27%, from $129.0 million in the first six months of 2021 to $163.7 million in the first six months of 2022. The increase in interest income was primarily due to growth in the volume of interest-earning assets and yields on loans, partially offset by a decrease in the rate earned on investment securities. Average loans increased $1.04 billion compared to the first six months of 2021, due to the ~~decrease~~acquisition of 1st Constitution. The yield on average loans of 4.05% in the first six months of 2022 was 10 basis points higher than the same period in 2021. Average taxable and tax-exempt investment securities increased $841.2 million and $228.2 million, respectively, for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to the acquisition of 1st Constitution. The yield on average taxable and tax-exempt investment securities decreased five basis points and 55 basis points, respectively, due to market conditions. Average federal funds sold increased $149.5 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, while the yield on federal funds sold increased 16 basis points.

Total interest expense of $12.2 million in the first six months of 2022 was $66,000 less than the interest expense reported for the same period in 2021. Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $1.46 billion, while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 0.47% in the first six months of 2021 to 0.37% in the first six months of 2022. The increase in the balance was due to the acquisition of deposits from 1st Constitution. Rates paid decreased in almost all categories of interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of long-term borrowings, time deposits and interest-bearing transaction accounts decreased by 54 basis points, 33 basis points and five basis points, respectively, while the cost of overnight borrowings increased 145 basis points compared to the first six months of 2021.

Provision for Credit Losses

In the first six months of 2022, a $9.9 million provision for credit losses was recorded, compared to a $8.6 million benefit for the same period last year. As of June 30, 2022, the provision was comprised of a provision for credit losses on loans of $6.2 million, a provision for credit losses on securities of $2.7 million and a provision for off-balance-sheet exposures of $975,000. In addition, the Company recorded an initial allowance for credit losses of $12.1 million on purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired from 1st Constitution. The benefit for credit losses on loans in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was comprised of a benefit for credit losses on loans of $8.1 million, a provision for credit losses on securities of $156,000 and a benefit for off-balance-sheet exposures of $635,000. The increase in the provision recorded for loans and off-balance-sheet exposures in 2022 was due primarily to deterioration of the macroeconomic factors used in calculating the provision. The provision for credit losses on securities during the six months of 2022 was primarily due to increased unrealized losses on lower credit rated securities within the investment portfolio. The increase in unrealized losses in 2022 was primarily due to the rise in market interest rates, which caused decreases in the fair values of investment securities available for sale. The Company charged off $7.6 million of purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired from 1st Constitution in first six months of 2022. In addition, charge-offs totaled $539,000 and recoveries totaled $672,000 in the first six months of 2022 compared to $3.1 million and $519,000, respectively, in the first six months of 2021. For more information regarding the determination of the provision, see “Risk Elements” below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income of $13.8 million in the first six months of 2022 increased by $2.8 million from $11.0 million in the first six months of 2021 due primarily to increases in service charges on deposit accounts, commissions and fees and other income. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $596,000 compared to the first six months of 2021 due to an increase in debit card income, while commissions and fees increased $1.3 million due primarily to increases in wire transfer charges and financial services income. Gains on sales of loans increased $826,000 driven primarily by an increase in sale volume of residential mortgages. Losses on equity securities totaled $849,000 and $133,000 in the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other income increased $672,000 in 2022 due primarily to reductions in write-downs on premises and recoveries on loans charged off from prior acquisitions.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense in the first six months of 2022 totaled $95.0 million, increasing $27.0 million from the $68.0 million reported for the first six months of 2021. Compensation and employee benefit expense and premises and equipment expense increased $13.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, compared to the first six months of 2021 due to the increases in staff and premises from the 1st Constitution acquisition. FDIC insurance expense remained flat at $1.3 million for the first six months of 2022 and 2021. The first six months of 2022 included $4.6 million in merger related costs for the completed acquisition of 1st Constitution Bancorp. Other operating expenses increased $4.5 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Included in the increase in other operating expenses are increases in core deposit intangible amortization, consulting, and marketing expense, which increased $742,000, $627,000 and $412,000, respectively, compared to the first six months of 2021. The Company’s efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 54.01% in the first six months of 2022, compared to 52.85% for the same period in 2021. The Company uses this ratio because it believes that the ratio provides a good comparison of period-to-period performance and because the ratio is widely accepted in the banking industry.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate in the first six months of 2022 was 24.4% compared to 25.7% during the same period last year due primarily to tax advantaged items declining as a percentage of pretax income resulting from the increase in pretax income during the current period.

Financial Condition

The Company’s total assets increased ~~$2.08~~$2.18 billion from December 31, 2021, to ~~$10.28~~$10.37 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Total loans, net of deferred fees, were ~~$7.14~~$7.41 billion, an increase of ~~$1.16~~$1.43 billion, or ~~19%~~24% from $5.98 billion at December 31, 2021. Total deposits were ~~$8.75~~$8.50 billion, an increase of ~~$1.78~~$1.54 billion, or ~~26%~~22%, from December 31, 2021, while total borrowings increased ~~$11.3~~$340.7 million to ~~$321.8~~$651.2 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

With the completion of the 1st Constitution merger in January 2022, the Company recorded the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the acquisition at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Total assets, total loans and total deposits acquired were $1.97 billion, $1.10 billion and $1.65 billion, respectively.

Loans

Lakeland primarily serves New Jersey, the Hudson Valley region in New York and the surrounding areas. Its equipment finance division serves a broader market with a primary focus on the Northeast United States. Total loans, net of deferred fees, totaled ~~$7.14~~$7.41 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~and~~ an increase of ~~$1.16~~$1.43 billion as compared to December 31, 2021 and ~~includes~~included $1.10 billion of loans acquired from 1st Constitution. Excluding the impact of the 1st Constitution acquisition, loans increased ~~$66.4~~$337.1 million or 1%6%.

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

Table of Contents

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.

Non-performing assets, including non-accrual PCD loans, increased ~~$2.8~~$5.2 million from $17.0 million at December 31, 2021 to ~~$19.7~~$22.2 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. ~~Non-accrual~~Owner occupied commercial non-accrual loans ~~in the non-owner occupied and residential categories~~ increased ~~$2.5~~$9.8 million ~~and $1.1 million, respectively, and were~~ due to one loan, while residential non-accrual loans ~~acquired from 1st Constitution.~~increased by $1.4 million. Other non-accrual loan categories decreased by a total of $6.6 million as the Company exited three larger loan relationships. The percentage of non-performing assets to total assets was ~~0.19%~~0.21% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to 0.21% at December 31, 2021. Non-accrual loans at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 included ~~four~~three loan relationships with a balance of $1 million or greater, totaling ~~$14.5~~$15.9 million and ~~three~~two loan relationships between $500,000 and $1.0 million, totaling ~~$1.9~~$1.8 million. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, there were no loans that were past due more than 89 days and still accruing and at December 31, 2021, one loan with a recorded investment of $1,000 was past due more than 89 days and still accruing.

On ~~both March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $3.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in loans that were TDRs and accruing interest income. These loans are expected to be able to perform under the modified terms of the loan. At ~~both March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $928,000 and $127,000, respectively, in TDRs that were included in non-accrual loans.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had ~~$115.2~~$93.4 million and $102.3 million, respectively, of loans that were rated substandard that were not classified as non-performing. There were no loans at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 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"), 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 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 ~~$67.1~~$68.8 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 increased ~~$9.1~~$10.8 million from December 31, 2021, an increase of ~~16%~~19% due primarily to a day one PCD allowance of $12.1 million for the 1st Constitution acquisition offset by charge-offs of 1st Constitution's PCD loans of $7.6 million. The Company also recorded a provision on 1st Constitution's non-PCD ~~loans.~~loans of $4.6 million.

Non-accrual loans of ~~$19.7~~$22.2 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 ~~decreased $2.8~~increased $5.2 million from December 31, 2021. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans was ~~0.94%~~0.93% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to 0.97% at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans was primarily due to an improvement in forecasted macroeconomic conditions and continued strength in asset quality.

Management believes, based on appraisals and estimated selling costs, that the majority of the Company's non-performing loans are adequately secured and that reserves on its non-performing loans are adequate. Based upon the process employed and giving recognition to all accompanying factors related to the loan portfolio, management considers the allowance for credit losses to be adequate at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Net recoveries as a percentage of average loans outstanding was 0.01% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding of 0.10% for the second quarter of 2021. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding was ~~0.44% in~~0.21% and 0.09% for the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with the change predominately related to 1st Constitution PCD loans ~~compared to 0.07% for~~charged off in the first quarter of ~~2021.~~2022.

Investment Securities

Investment securities increased ~~$516.8~~$486.1 million in the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2022, including $342.3 million acquired from 1st Constitution, to ~~$2.11~~$2.08 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to $1.59 billion at December 31, 2021, as the Company deployed excess cash. For detailed information on the composition and maturity distribution of the Company’s investment securities portfolio, see Note 4 in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Deposits

Total deposits increased from $6.97 billion at December 31, 2021 to ~~$8.75~~$8.50 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, an increase of ~~$1.78~~$1.54 billion, or ~~26%~~22%, including $1.65 billion assumed in the 1st Constitution merger. Excluding the impact of the 1st Constitution acquisition, deposits ~~increased $132.5~~decreased $114.6 million or 2%. Savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts increased ~~$1.13 billion~~$933.1 million due primarily to an increase in interest bearing checking and savings accounts resulting primarily from the addition of 1st Constitution deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased ~~$567.6~~$598.1 million, including $510.9 million from 1st Constitution, during the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2022 to ~~$2.30 billion at March 31. 2022~~$2.33 billion.

Liquidity

“Liquidity” measures whether an entity has sufficient cash flow to meet its financial obligations and commitments on a timely basis. The Company is liquid when its subsidiary bank has the cash available to meet the borrowing and cash withdrawal requirements of customers and the Company can pay for current and planned expenditures and satisfy its debt obligations.

Lakeland funds loan demand and operation expenses from several sources:

•Net income. Cash provided by operating activities was ~~$29.3~~$67.3 million for the first ~~three~~six months of 2022 compared to ~~$30.0~~$46.1 million for the same period in 2021.

•Deposits. Lakeland can offer new products or change its rate structure in order to increase deposits. In the first ~~three~~six months of 2022, Lakeland’s deposits increased ~~$132.5 million, excluding~~$1.54 billion, including the impact of the 1st Constitution ~~merger.~~acquisition.

•Sales of investment securities. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 the Company had ~~$1.17~~$1.14 billion in securities designated “available for sale.” Of these securities, ~~$532.9~~$607.3 million were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required by applicable laws and regulations.

•~~Repayments~~Principal repayments on loans.

•Credit lines. As a member of the FHLB, Lakeland has the ability to borrow overnight based on the fair value of collateral pledged. Lakeland had no$330.0 million of overnight borrowings from the FHLB on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Lakeland also has overnight federal funds lines available for it to borrow up to $250.0 million, of which none were outstanding at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Lakeland may also borrow from the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York based on the fair value of collateral pledged. Lakeland had no borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

•Other borrowings. Lakeland can also generate funds by utilizing long-term debt or securities sold under agreements to repurchase that would be collateralized by security or mortgage collateral. At times, the fair value of securities collateralizing our securities sold under agreements to repurchase may decline due to changes in interest rates and may necessitate our lenders to issue a “margin call” which requires Lakeland to pledge additional collateral to meet that margin call.

Management and the Board monitor the Company’s liquidity through the Asset/Liability Committee, which monitors the Company’s compliance with certain regulatory ratios and other various liquidity guidelines. Management is closely monitoring changes in liquidity needs, including those that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has increased collateral and expanded access to additional borrowings should it be necessary in order to meet liquidity needs. While we are unable to predict actual fluctuations in deposit or cash balances, management continues to monitor liquidity and believes that its current level of liquidity is sufficient to meet its current and future operational needs.

The cash flow statements for the periods presented provide an indication of the Company’s sources and uses of cash, as well as an indication of the ability of the Company to maintain an adequate level of liquidity. A discussion of the cash flow statement for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 follows.

Capital Resources

Total stockholders’ equity increased to $1.09 billion on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 from $827.0 million on December 31, 2021, an increase of ~~$262.3~~$263.1 million. Book value per common share increased to $16.82 on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 from $16.34 on December 31, 2021. Tangible book value per share decreased from $13.21 per share on December 31, 2021 to ~~$12.45~~$12.47 per share on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, a decrease of 6%, resulting primarily from an increase in goodwill and the number of shares outstanding from the 1st Constitution merger. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. In addition to the equity acquired in the 1st Constitution merger of $285.7 million, the increase in stockholders’ equity from December 31, 2021 to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 was ~~primarily~~ due in part to ~~$15.9~~$45.0 million of net income, offset by an other comprehensive loss of ~~$31.1~~$50.9 million and by the payment of cash dividends on common stock of ~~$8.8~~$18.3 million.

The Company and Lakeland are subject to various regulatory capital requirements that are monitored by federal banking agencies.

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.

These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~March~~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.

~~Table of Contents~~

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 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 be~~is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The update did not 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 ~~$296.3~~$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.


	Changes in Interest Rates
Rate Ramp	+200 bp
Asset/Liability Policy limit	(5.0)	%
~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022	~~(0.1)~~(1.0)	%
December 31, 2021	(0.9)	%

~~Table of Contents~~

The Company’s review of interest rate risk includes policy limits for net interest income changes in various “rate shock” scenarios. Rate shocks assume that current interest rates change immediately. The information provided for net interest income assumes fluctuations or “rate shocks” for changes in interest rates as shown in the table below.


		Changes in Interest Rates									Changes in Interest Rates
Rate Shock	Rate Shock	+400bp		+300 bp		+200 bp		+100 bp		Rate Shock	+400bp		+300 bp		+200 bp		+100 bp

March 31, 2022		3.1	%	2.2	%	1.2	%	0.6	%
June 30, 2022										June 30, 2022	(3.1)	%	(2.3)	%	(1.6)	%	(0.6)	%
December 31, 2021	December 31, 2021	(1.2)	%	(0.9)	%	(0.7)	%	(0.5)	%	December 31, 2021	(1.2)	%	(0.9)	%	(0.7)	%	(0.5)	%

The base case for the following table is an estimate of the Company’s net portfolio value for the periods presented using current discount rates, and assuming the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at period-end levels. The net portfolio value at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 (the base case) was ~~$1.99~~$2.10 billion. The information provided for the net portfolio value assumes fluctuations or “rate shocks” for changes in interest rates as shown in the table below. Rate shocks assume that current interest rates change immediately.


		Changes in Interest Rates											Changes in Interest Rates
Rate Shock	Rate Shock	+400bp		+300 bp		+200 bp		+100 bp		-100 bp		Rate Shock	+400bp		+300 bp		+200 bp		+100 bp		-100 bp

The information set forth in the above tables and the net interest income estimate set forth above are based on significant estimates and assumptions, and constitute forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For more information regarding the Company’s market risk and assumptions used in the Company’s simulation models, please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

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.
