Statements regarding the potential effectsForward-looking statements are neither statements of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations, financial performance and prospects are forward-looking statements. Also, any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement. These statementsfact nor are they assurances of future performance and generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “projects”, “plans”, “goal”, “targets”, “potential”, “estimates”, “pro forma”, “seeks”, “intends”, or “anticipates”, or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include discussions of strategy, financial projections, guidance and estimates (including their underlying assumptions), statements regarding plans, objectives, expectations or consequences of various transactions or events, and statements about theour future performance, operations, products and services, of United Community Banks, Inc.

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond our control, and that are difficult to predict as to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, and that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results implied or anticipated by the statements. Except as required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligations to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements in addition to those described in detail under Part II, Item 1A of this Report - “Risk Factors” - include, but are not limited to the following:

•our reliance on third parties to provide key components of our business infrastructure and services required to operate our business;
•the risk that we may be required to make substantial expenditures to keep pace with regulatory initiatives and the rapid technological changes in the financial services market;

UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Accounting Policies
TheUnited’s accounting and financial reporting policies of United Community Banks, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “United”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”)GAAP and reporting guidelines of banking regulatory authorities. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In addition to those items mentioned below, aA more detailed description of United’s accounting policies is included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 10-K”).2020 10-K.
In management’s opinion, all accounting adjustments necessary to accurately reflect the financial position and results of operations on the accompanying financial statements have been made. These adjustments are normal and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair and accurate presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other interim periods. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in United’s 20192020 10-K. Certain amounts reported in prior periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Debt Securities
Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts on securities are generally amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to their earliest call date. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.
Transfers of securities between categories are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer. Unrealized holding gains or losses associated with transfers of securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity are included in the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets. These unrealized holding gains or losses are amortized into income over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment to the yield in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security.
A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become 90 days delinquent. Interest accrued but not received for a security placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income.
Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) - Held-to-Maturity Securities: Management measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities totaled $1.00 million at June 30, 2020 and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Management classifies the held-to-maturity portfolio into the following major security types: State and political subdivisions, residential mortgage-backed, agency and commercial mortgage-backed, agency.
All of the residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities held by United are issued by U.S. government agencies. These securities 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. The state and political subdivision securities are highly rated by major rating agencies. As a result, 0 ACL was recorded on the held-to-maturity portfolio at June 30, 2020.
ACL - Available-For-Sale Securities: For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, United first assesses whether it intends to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities available-for-sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, United evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management 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 specifically 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 expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded for the
UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any amount of unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Changes in the ACL are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. At June 30, 2020, there was 0 ACL related to the available-for-sale portfolio.
Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $7.72 million at June 30, 2020 and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
Loans and Leases
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts and deferred fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable related to loans totaled $28.0 million at June 30, 2020 and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using methods that approximate a level yield without anticipating prepayments.
The accrual of interest is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due and is not well collateralized and in the process of collection, or when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the principal or interest will not be collectible in the normal course of business. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan.
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, there is a sustained period of repayment performance and future payments are reasonably assured.
Equipment Financing Lease Receivables: Equipment financing lease receivables, which are classified as sales-type or direct financing leases, are recorded as the sum of the future minimum lease payments, initial deferred costs and estimated or contractual residual values less unearned income and security deposits. The determination of residual value is derived from a variety of sources including equipment valuation services, appraisals, and publicly available market data on recent sales transactions on similar equipment. The length of time until contract termination, the cyclical nature of equipment values and the limited marketplace for re-sale of certain leased assets are important variables considered in making this determination. Interest income, which is included in loan interest revenue in the consolidated statements of income, is recognized as earned using the effective interest method. Direct fees and costs associated with the origination of leases are deferred and included as a component of equipment financing receivables. Net deferred fees or costs are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of the lease using the effective interest method. These lease agreements may include options to renew and for the lessee to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term. United excludes sales taxes from consideration in these lease contracts.
Purchased Credit Deteriorated (“PCD”) Loans: Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), loans that were designated as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans under the previous accounting guidance were classified as PCD loans without reassessment.
In future acquisitions, United may purchase loans, some of which have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. In those cases, United will consider internal loan grades, delinquency status and other relevant factors in assessing whether purchased loans are PCD. PCD loans are recorded at the amount paid. An initial ACL is determined using the same methodology as other loans held for investment, but with no impact to earnings. The initial ACL determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan's purchase price and ACL becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent to initial recognition, PCD loans are subject to the same interest income recognition and impairment model as non-PCD loans, with changes to the ACL recorded through provision expense.
ACL - Loans
The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the ACL when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Management determines the ACL balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit behaviors along with model judgments provide the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to modeled loss estimates may be made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in economic conditions, property values, or other relevant factors.
The ACL is measured on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. United has identified the following portfolio segments and calculates the ACL for each using a discounted cash flow methodology at the loan level, with loss rates, prepayment assumptions and curtailment assumptions driven by each loan’s collateral type:
Owner occupied commercial real estate - Loans in this category are susceptible to business failure and general economic conditions.
Income producing commercial real estate - Common risks for this loan category are declines in general economic conditions, declines in real estate value, declines in occupancy rates, and lack of suitable alternative use for the property.
Commercial & industrial - Risks to this loan category include the inability to monitor the condition of the collateral which often consists of inventory, accounts receivable and other non-real estate assets. Equipment and inventory obsolescence can also pose a risk. Declines in general economic conditions and other events can cause cash flows to fall to levels insufficient to service debt.
Commercial construction - Risks common to commercial construction loans are cost overruns, changes in market demand for property, inadequate long-term financing arrangements and declines in real estate values.
Equipment financing - Risks associated with equipment financing are similar to those described for commercial and industrial loans, including general economic conditions, as well as appropriate lien priority on equipment, equipment obsolescence and the general mobility of the collateral.
Residential mortgage - Residential mortgage loans are susceptible to weakening general economic conditions, increases in unemployment rates and declining real estate values.
Home equity lines of credit - Risks common to home equity lines of credit are general economic conditions, including an increase in unemployment rates, and declining real estate values which reduce or eliminate the borrower’s home equity.
Residential construction - Residential construction loans are susceptible to the same risks as residential mortgage loans. Changes in market demand for property lead to longer marketing times resulting in higher carrying costs and declining values.
Consumer - Risks common to consumer direct loans include unemployment and changes in local economic conditions as well as the inability to monitor collateral consisting of personal property.
When management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.
When the discounted cash flow method is used to determine the ACL, management adjusts the effective interest rate used to discount expected cash flows to incorporate expected prepayments.
Determining the Contractual Term: Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by United.
Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”s): A loan for which the terms have been modified resulting in a more than insignificant concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, is generally considered to be a TDR. The ACL on a TDR is measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment, except that the original interest rate is used to discount the expected cash flows, not the rate specified within the restructuring. As discussed in Note 2, in accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), United implemented loan modification programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to provide borrowers with flexibility with respect to repayment terms. These loan modifications were not considered TDRs to the extent that the borrower was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and was not more than 30 days past due at
UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
December 31, 2019, or in certain circumstances, at the time that the COVID-19 loan modification program was implemented, unless the loan was previously classified as a TDR.
ACL - Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
Management estimates expected credit losses on commitments to extend credit over the contractual period during which United is exposed to credit risk on the underlying commitments. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The ACL is calculated using the same aggregate reserve rates calculated for the funded portion of loans at the portfolio level applied to the amount of commitments expected to fund.
Note 2 –Accounting Standards Updates and Recently Adopted Standards
On January 1, 2020, United adopted ASC 326, which replaced the incurred loss impairment framework in prior GAAP with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) framework, which requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an ACL. PCD loans will receive an initial allowance at the acquisition date that represents an adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the loan, with no impact to earnings. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an ACL prospectively, with such allowance limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost.
United adopted ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method for loans, leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Adoption of this guidance resulted in an $8.75 million increase in the ACL, comprised of increases in the ACL for loans of $6.88 million and the ACL for unfunded commitments of $1.87 million, with $3.59 million of the increase reclassified from the amortized cost basis of PCD financial assets that were previously classified as PCI. The cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings was $3.53 million, net of tax. Calculated credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities were not material and there was no impact to the available-for-sale securities portfolio or other financial instruments. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP (“Incurred Loss”).
The ACL for the majority of loans and leases was calculated using a discounted cash flow methodology applied at a loan level with a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period and a two-year straight-line reversion period. In connection with the adoption, management has implemented changes to relevant systems, processes and controls where necessary. Model validation was completed during the fourth quarter of 2019 and implementation of the accounting, reporting and governance processes to comply with the new guidance was completed in the first quarter of 2020. United’s CECL allowance will fluctuate over time due to macroeconomic conditions and forecasts as well as the size and composition of the loan portfolios. United has adopted the relief provided by federal banking regulatory agencies for the delay of the adverse capital impact of CECL at adoption and during the subsequent two-year period following adoption. This optional two-year delay is followed by an optional three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay. Under the transition provision, the amount of aggregate capital benefit is phased out by 25% each year with the full impact of adoption completely recognized by the beginning of the sixth year.
United adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for PCD assets that were previously classified as PCI. In accordance with the standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. As mentioned above, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets was adjusted to reflect the addition of $3.59 million of the ACL. The remaining noncredit discount (based on the adjusted amortized cost basis) will be accreted into interest income at a rate that approximates the effective interest rate as of January 1, 2020.
With regard to PCD assets, because United elected to disaggregate the former PCI pools and no longer considers these pools to be the unit of account, contractually delinquent PCD loans will be reported as nonaccrual loans using the same criteria as other loans. Similarly, although management did not reassess whether modifications to individual acquired financial assets accounted for in pools were TDRs as of the date of adoption, PCD loans that are restructured and meet the definition of troubled debt restructurings after the adoption of CECL will be reported as such.
United elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable and instead to reverse interest income on those loans that are 90 days past due, to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of financial instruments subject to CECL and to separately state the balance of accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. In addition,
UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
United elected to adjust the discount rate used to calculate credit losses for expected prepayments and will include all changes in discounted cash flows as credit loss. As a practical expedient, United has also elected to use the fair value of collateral when determining the ACL for loans if repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty (collateral-dependent loans).
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act included a number of provisions that were applicable to United, including the following:
•Accounting Relief for TDRs: The CARES Act provided that modifications under certain forbearance conditions for loans that were not more than 30 days past due at December 31, 2019 will not be considered TDRs for regulatory reporting and GAAP.
•Optional Delay and Regulatory Relief for CECL Implementation:The CARES Act stipulated that large SEC filers have the option of delaying the adoption of CECL from January 1, 2020 to the earlier of the end of the COVID-19 emergency period or December 31, 2020. Banks that were required to implement CECL by the end of 2020 were granted the option to defer any impact of CECL on regulatory capital for two years before beginning the original three-year regulatory phase-in period, for a total five-year phase-in period. Although United did not elect to delay the adoption of CECL, the Company did elect the five-year phase-in period for regulatory capital purposes, as discussed above.
•Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”): The CARES Act created the PPP through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), which allowed United to lend money to small businesses to maintain employee payrolls through the crisis with guarantees from the SBA. Under this program, loan amounts may be forgiven if the borrower maintains employee payrolls or restores payrolls afterwards.Recently Adopted Standards

Risk Ratings
United categorizes commercial loans, with the exception of equipment financing receivables, into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current industry and economic trends, among other factors. United analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a continual basis. United uses the following definitions for its risk ratings:
Pass. Loans in this category are considered to have a low probability of default and do not meet the criteria of the risk categories below.
Watch.Special Mention. Loans in this category are presently protected from apparent loss; however, weaknesses exist that could cause future impairment, including the deterioration of financial ratios, past due status and questionable management capabilities. These loans require more than the ordinary amount of supervision. Collateral values generally afford adequate coverage, but may not be immediately marketable.
Substandard. These loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged. Specific and well-defined weaknesses exist that may include poor liquidity and deterioration of financial ratios. The loan may be past due and related deposit accounts experiencing overdrafts. There is the distinct possibility that United will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected. If possible, immediate corrective action is taken.
Doubtful. Specific weaknesses characterized as Substandard that are severe enough to make collection in full highly questionable and improbable. There is no reliable secondary source of full repayment.
Loss. Loans categorized as Loss have the same characteristics as Doubtful; however, probability of loss is certain. Loans classified as Loss are charged off.
Equipment Financing Receivables and Consumer Purpose Loans. United applies a pass / fail grading system to all equipment financing receivables and consumer purpose loans. Under the pass / fail gradingthis system, loans that are on nonaccrual status, become past due 90 days, or are in bankruptcy are classified as “fail” and all other loans are classified as “pass”. For reporting purposes, of the table below, loans in these categories that are classified as “fail” are reported as substandard and all other loans are reported as pass.

These results were then applied tocombined with a starting value that was based on United’s recent default experience, as a starting point.which was adjusted for select portfolios based on expectations of future performance. At June 30, 2021, the third party vendor’s forecast, which was representative of a baseline scenario, improved significantly from December 31, 2020, the forecast indicated that the markets in which United operates will experience a decline in economic conditions and an increase inincluding the unemployment rate overwhich has a significant impact on our models and led to the next year, primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increasenegative provision for loan losses in the ACL compared to January 1, 2020second quarter and March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to the worsening trends in the forecast at June 30, 2020 compared to the earlier forecasts used, with the primary economic forecast driver being the change in the unemployment rate.year-to-date. United adjusted the economic forecast by eliminating the initial spike in unemployment to account for the impact of government stimulus programs, which mitigated some of the negative impact on forecasted losses.losses as the unemployment rate was rising and had the opposite effect as the unemployment rate was improving. In addition, United further adjusted the economic forecast for residential mortgage loans andapplied qualitative factors to income producing commercial real estate, owner occupied commercial real estate, equipment finance and commercial construction portfolios to moderate losses in those portfolios.compensate for elevated special mention and substandard loan levels.
For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period of one year, United reverted to historical credit loss information on a straight line basis over two years. For all collateral types excluding residential mortgage, United reverted to through-the-cycle

Note 5 – Goodwill
Goodwill represents the premium paid for acquired companies above the net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including separately identifiable intangible assets. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the net carrying value of goodwill was $327 million. Goodwill is not amortized but is assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment, referred to as a triggering event. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, accounting guidance allows for an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not, or a greater than 50% likelihood, that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. When it is more likely than not that impairment has occurred, management is required to perform a quantitative analysis and, if necessary, adjust the carrying amount of goodwill by recording a goodwill impairment loss. During the latter part of the first quarter and the second quarter of 2020, as a result of market concerns about the potential impact of COVID-19, United’s stock price declined such that it traded below book value for much of that time period. As a result of this triggering event, management has qualitatively assessed and concluded that there is not a greater than 50% likelihood that United’s fair value is less than its carrying amount as of June 30, 2020, given the anticipated short duration of the change in macroeconomic conditions and excess of value as of the latest annual test performed as of September 30, 2019. Management will continue to monitor and assess the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s value.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
United is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. United principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. United manages interest rate risk through a combination of pricing and term structure of deposit product offerings,The table below presents the amount and duration of its investment securities portfolio and wholesale funding and, to a lesser degree, through the usefair value of derivative financial instruments. From time to time, United enters into derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures that arise from business activities that result inas of the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of known or expected cash receipts and known or expected cash payments principally related to loans, investment securities, wholesale borrowings and deposits.

United clears certain derivatives centrally through the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”).CME. CME rules legally characterize variation margin payments for centrally cleared derivatives as settlements of the derivatives’ exposure rather than as collateral. As a result, the variation margin payment and the related derivative instruments are considered a single unit of account for accounting

purposes. Variation margin, as determined by the CME, is settled daily. As a result, derivative contracts that clear through the CME have an estimated fair value of zero.

Hedging Derivatives
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
United enters into cash flow hedges to mitigate exposure to the variability of future cash flows or other forecasted transactions. During the second quarterAs of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 United entered into 3 cash flow hedges usingutilized interest rate caps and swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $120 million to hedge the variability of cash flows due to changes in interest rates on certain of its variable-rate subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. United considers these derivatives to be highly effective at achieving offsetting changes in cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates. Therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income.OCI. Gains and losses related to changes in fair value are reclassified into earnings in the periods the hedged forecasted transactions occur. Losses representing amortization of the premium recorded on cash flow hedges, which is a component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis in the same caption as the hedged item over the term of the hedge. Over the next twelve months, United expects to reclassify $576,000$595,000 of losses from accumulated other comprehensive incomeAOCI into earnings related to these agreements.
At December 31, 2019 United had 0 active cash flow hedges. The loss remaining in other comprehensive income from prior hedges that had previously been de-designated was being amortized into earnings over the original term of the swaps as the forecasted transactions that the swaps were originally designated to hedge were still expected to occur. During the second quarter of 2019, United amortized the remaining balance of losses on terminated hedging positions from other comprehensive income, which was the only effect of cash flow hedges on the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. See Note 11 for further detail.
Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
United is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed-rate obligations due to changes in interest rates. United uses interest rate derivatives to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in interest rates. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. United includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same income statement line item as the offsetting loss or gain on the related derivatives.
UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, United had 3 and 4, respectively, interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $27.9 million and $37.9 million, respectively, that were designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate brokered time deposits. The swaps involved the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for United making variable rate payments over the life of the agreements.
In certain cases, the estate of deceased brokered certificate of deposit holders may put the certificate of deposit back to United at par upon the death of the holder. When these estate putsevents (estate puts) occur, a gain or loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and the par amount of the deposits put back. The change in the fair value of brokered time deposits that are being hedged in fair value hedging relationships reported in the table above includes gains and losses from estate puts.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Customer derivative positions include swaps, caps, and corridorscollars between United and certain commercial loan customers with offsetting positions to dealers under a back-to-back program. In addition, United occasionally enters into credit risk participation agreements with counterparty banks to accept or transfer a portion of the credit risk related to interest rate swaps. The agreements, which are typically executed in conjunction with a participation in a loan with the same customer, allow customers to execute an interest rate swap with one bank while allowing for the distribution of the credit risk among participating members.
United also has 3 interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments but are economic hedges of market-linked brokered certificates of deposit. The market-linked brokered certificates of deposit contain embedded derivatives that are

bifurcated from the host instruments and are marked to market through earnings. The fair value marks on the market-linked swaps and the bifurcated embedded derivatives tend to move in opposite directions with changes in 90-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)LIBOR and therefore provide an economic hedge.

In addition, United originates certain residential mortgage loans with the intention of selling these loans. Between the time United enters into an interest-rate lock commitment to originate a residential mortgage loan that is to be held for sale and the time the loan is funded and eventually sold, United is subject to the risk of variability in market prices. United enters into forward sale agreements to mitigate risk and to protect the expected gain on the eventual loan sale. The commitments to originate residential mortgage loans and forward loan sales commitments are freestanding derivative instruments. United accounts for most newly originated mortgage loans at fair value pursuant to the fair value option, and these loans are not reflected in the table above. Fair value adjustments on these derivative instruments are recorded within mortgage loan gains and other related fee income in the consolidated statements of income.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
United manages its credit exposure on derivatives transactions by entering into a bilateral credit support agreement with each non-customer counterparty. The credit support agreements require collateralization of exposures beyond specified minimum threshold amounts. The details of these agreements, including the minimum thresholds, vary by counterparty.
United’s agreements with each of its derivative counterparties provide that if either party defaults on any of its indebtedness, then it could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The agreements with derivativesderivative counterparties also include provisions that if not met, could result in United being declared in default. United has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that provide that if United fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution or is subject to a prompt corrective action directive, the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and United would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. Derivatives that are centrally cleared do not have credit-risk-related features that would require additional collateral if United’s credit rating were downgraded.

Senior Debentures
During the second quarter of 2020, United issued the 2030 senior debentures. The 2030 senior debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after June 15, 2025 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest, and will mature on June 15, 2030 if not redeemed prior to that date.
The 2022 senior debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, on or after August 14, 2020 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest, and will mature on February 14, 2022 if not redeemed prior to that date.
The 2027 senior debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, on or after August 14, 2025 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest, and will mature on February 14, 2027 if not redeemed prior to that date.
Subordinated Debentures
The subordinated debentures qualify as Tier 2 regulatory capital.
Trust Preferred Securities
Trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 1 capital under risk based capital guidelines subject to certain limitations, including an acquisition-triggered asset size limitation, which United is expected to exceed in the third quarter of 2020. The trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indentures.

Note 86 – Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, United uses a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). United has processes in place to review the significant valuation inputs and to reassess how the instruments are classified in the valuation framework.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that United has the ability to access.
Level 2 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
In instances when the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.
Investment Securities
DebtAFS debt securities available-for-sale and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securitiesMBS issued by government sponsored entities,GSEs, municipal bonds, corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities and asset-backedsupranational entity securities and are valued based on observable inputs that include: quoted market prices for similar assets, quoted market prices that are not in an active market, or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include those traded in less liquid markets and are valued based on estimates obtained from broker-dealers that are not directly observable.observable or models which incorporate unobservable inputs.
Deferred Compensation Plan Assets and Liabilities
Included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet are assets related to employee deferred compensation plans. The assets associated with these plans are invested in mutual funds and classified as Level 1. Deferred compensation liabilities, also classified as Level 1, are carried at the fair value of the obligation to the employee, which mirrors the fair value of the invested assets and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
United has elected the fair value option for most of its newly originated mortgage loans held for sale in order to reduce certain timing differences and better match changes in fair values of the loans with changes in the value of derivative instruments used to economically hedge them. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for a similar asset, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan, (Level 2).and are classified as Level 2.
Derivative Financial Instruments
United uses derivatives to manage interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is typically determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. United also uses best effort and mandatory delivery forward loan sale commitments to hedge risk in its mortgage lending business.
UNITED COMMUNITY BANKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
United incorporates credit valuation adjustments (“CVAs”)CVAs as necessary to appropriately reflect the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, United has considered the effect of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees.
Management has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, the CVAs associated with these derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. Generally, management’s assessment of the significance of the CVAs has indicated that they are not a significant input to the overall valuation of the derivatives. In cases where management’s assessment indicates that the CVA is a significant input, the related derivative is disclosed as a Level 3 value. During the second quarter of 2020, certain derivative assets were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to a change in the assessment of significance of the CVA.
Other derivatives classified as Level 3 include structured derivatives for which broker quotes, used as a key valuation input, were not observable. Risk participation agreements are classified as Level 3 instruments due to the incorporation of significant Level 3 inputs used to evaluate the probability of funding and the likelihood of customer default. Interest rate lock commitments, which relate to mortgage loan commitments, are categorized as Level 3 instruments as the fair value of these instruments is based on unobservable inputs for commitments that United does not expect to fund.

Servicing Rights for Residential and SBA/USDA Loans
United recognizes servicing rights upon the sale of residential and SBA/USDA loans sold with servicing retained. Management has elected to carry these assets at fair value. Given the nature of these assets, the key valuation inputs are unobservable and management classifies these assets as Level 3.

Changes in fair value were mostly offset by hedging activities. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
United may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of the lower of the amortized cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. The following table presents the fair value hierarchy and carrying value of all assets that were still held as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, for which a nonrecurring fair value adjustment was recorded during the year-to-date periods presented (in thousands).

Loans that are reported above as being measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are generally impaired loans that have either been partially charged off or have specific reserves assigned to them. Nonaccrual loans that are collateral dependent are generally written down to 80% of appraisednet realizable value, which considersreflects fair value less the estimated costs to sell. Specific reserves that are established based on appraised value of collateral are considered nonrecurring fair value adjustments as well. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, United records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, United records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
For financial instruments that have quoted market prices, those quotes are used to determine fair value. Financial instruments that have no defined maturity, have a remaining maturity of 180 days or less, or reprice frequently to a market rate, are assumed to have a fair value that approximates reported book value, after taking into consideration any applicable credit risk. If no market quotes are available, financial instruments are valued by discounting the expected cash flows using an estimated current market interest rate for the financial instrument. For off-balance sheet derivative instruments, fair value is estimated as the amount that United would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date, taking into account the current unrealized gains or losses on open contracts.
Cash and cash equivalents and repurchase agreements have short maturities and therefore the carrying value approximates fair value. Due to the short-term settlement of accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying amount closely approximates fair value.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect the premium or discount on any particular financial instrument that could result from the sale of United’s entire holdings. All estimates are inherently subjective in nature. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include the mortgage banking operation, brokerage network, deferred income taxes, premises and equipment and goodwill. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.
Off-balance sheet instruments (commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit) for which draws can be reasonably predicted are generally short-term in maturity and are priced at variable rates. Therefore, the estimated fair value associated with these instruments is immaterial.
The carrying amount and fair values as of the dates indicated for other financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands).

Recent Developments
During the first six months of 2020, global financial markets experienced significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and the United States declared a National Public Health Emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has materially restricted the level of economic activity in our markets. In response to the pandemic, the governments of the states in which we have branches and of most other states have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego time outside of their homes, and ordering temporary closures of businesses that have been deemed to be non-essential. These measures have dramatically increased unemploymentliabilities in the United States and have negatively impacted many businesses, and thereby threatened the repayment ability of some of our borrowers.
acquisition.
To address the economic impact in the United States, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act included a number of provisions that affected us, including accounting relief for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and relief for the effect of current expected credit losses accounting standard (“CECL”) implementation on regulatory capital. The CARES Act also established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), which allowed us to lend money to small businesses to maintain employee payrolls through the crisis with guarantees from the SBA. Under this program, loan amounts may be forgiven if the borrower maintains employee payrolls and meet certain other requirements.
The Federal Reserve also took additional steps to bolster the economy by, among other things, reducing the federal funds rate and the discount-window borrowing rate to near zero.
In response to the pandemic, we have implemented protocols and processes to help protect our employees, customers and communities. These measures have included:
•OperatingSubsequent to quarter-end, on July 6, 2021, we acquired FinTrust Capital Partners, LLC, and its operating subsidiaries FinTrust Capital Advisors, LLC, FinTrust Capital Benefit Group, LLC and FinTrust Brokerage Services, LLC, collectively referred to as “FinTrust”. FinTrust is an investment advisory firm headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, with additional locations in Anderson, South Carolina, and Athens and Macon, Georgia. The firm provides wealth and investment management services to individuals and institutions within its markets, which expands our branchesAdvisory Services division. As of June 30, 2021, FinTrust had assets under a drive-through model with appointment-only lobby service, leveraging our business continuity plansmanagement of $2.09 billion across its advisory, retirement planning and capabilities that include critical operations teams being divided and dispersed to separate locations and, when possible, having employees work from home.brokerage businesses.
•OfferingOn May 27, 2021, we announced an agreement to acquire Aquesta Financial Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aquesta Bank, collectively referred to as “Aquesta”, which we plan to complete in October of 2021. Aquesta is headquartered in Cornelius, North Carolina. The bank’s high-touch customer service is delivered to retail and business customers through a network of nine branches primarily located in the Charlotte metropolitan area in addition to locations in Wilmington and Raleigh, North Carolina, as well as Greenville and Charleston, South Carolina. As of June 30, 2021, Aquesta reported total assets of $736 million, total loans of $524 million and total deposits of $641 million.
•On July 14, 2021, we announced an agreement to acquire Reliant Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Reliant Bank, collectively referred to as “Reliant”, which we plan to complete in the first quarter of 2022. Reliant is headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee and operates a 25 branch network in Tennessee, located primarily in some of the Nashville area’s most attractive markets, as well as in Clarksville and Chattanooga. It also has a manufactured housing finance group based in Knoxville. As of June 30, 2021, Reliant reported total assets of $3.10 billion, total loans of $2.32 billion, and total deposits of $2.63 billion.
COVID-19
During the second quarter of 2021, as a result of the widespread distribution of COVID-19 vaccinations and reduction in COVID-19 cases nationally and within our markets, we substantially returned to normal retail operations by reopening the majority of our branch lobbies. We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and to offer assistance to our customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which includesits economic effects, through payment deferrals waiving certain fees, suspending property foreclosures, and participatingparticipation in the CARES Act and lending programs for businesses, including the SBA PPP.PPP loan program. Loans with active COVID-19 payment deferrals have declined dramatically, with $17.8 million outstanding at June 30, 2021, a 75% reduction since December 31, 2020.

Neither of the new accounting standard on credit losses. For more information, see Capital Resources and Dividends.
We have implemented various consumer and commercial loan modification programs to provide our borrowers relief from the economic impacts of COVID-19. Based on guidance in the CARES Act, COVID-19 related modifications to loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are exempt from TDR classification under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In addition, the bank regulatory agencies issued interagency guidance stating that COVID-19 related short-term modifications (i.e., payment deferrals of six months or less) granted to loans that were current as of the loan modification program implementation date are not new TDRs. For more information, see Note 4 - Loans and Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses to the consolidated financial statements.
Given the unprecedented uncertainty and rapidly evolving economic effects and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the future direct and indirectthese changes had a material impact on our business, resultsoperations.
Results of operations and financial condition are highly uncertain. Should current economic conditions persist or continue to deteriorate, we expect that this macroeconomic environment will have a continued adverse effect on our business and results of operations, which could include, but not be limited to: decreased demand for our products and services, protracted periods of lower interest rates, increased noninterest expenses, including operational losses, and increased credit losses due to deterioration in the financial condition of our consumer and commercial borrowers, including declining asset and collateral values, which may continue to increase our provision for credit losses and net charge-offs.Operations
LIBOR and Other Benchmark Rates
As previously disclosed, to facilitate an orderly transition from Interbank Offered Rates (“IBORs”) and other benchmark rates to alternative reference rates (“ARRs”), we have established an enterprise-wide program to identify, assess and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuation or unavailability of benchmarks, including the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). As part of this program, we continue to identify, assess and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuation or unavailability of LIBOR and other benchmarks, and evaluate and address documentation and contractual mechanics of outstanding IBOR-based products and contracts that mature after 2021 and new and potential future ARR-based products and contracts to achieve operational readiness. This program includes active involvement of senior management and regular reports to the Enterprise Risk Committee. The program is structured to address the industry and regulatory engagement, client and financial contract changes, internal and external communications, technology and operations modifications, introduction of new products, migration of existing clients, and program strategy and governance. As the markets for ARRs continue to grow, we continue to monitor the development and usage of ARRs, including the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Additionally, any prolonged economic and market disruptions resulting from COVID-19 may have an adverse impact on the market and industry transition to ARRs, including the readiness of other market participants and third-party vendors, and our engagement with impacted clients and their operational readiness to transition to ARRs. For more information on the expected replacement of LIBOR and other benchmark rates, see Item 1A. Risk Factors – Market Risks of the 2019 10-K.
Financial Highlights
At June 30, 2020, we had total consolidated assets of $15.0 billion, total loans of $10.1 billion, total deposits of $12.7 billion, and shareholders’ equity of $1.77 billion. We reported net income and diluted earnings per common share of $25.1$70.3 million or $0.32 per diluted share,and $0.78, respectively, for the second quarter of 2020,2021 compared to $25.1 million and $0.32, respectively, for the same period in 2020. Operating net income of $44.1(non-GAAP), which excludes merger-related and other charges, was $71.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019. For2021, compared to $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, we reportedsame period in 2020. The increase in net income and operating net income was driven by increased net interest revenue and a release of $57.0 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to $88.3 million, or $1.10 per diluted share,provision for credit losses partly offset by a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense during the first six monthssecond quarter of 2019.
2021.
Net interest revenue decreasedincreased to $138 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $109 million for the second quarter of 2020, compareddue to $118 million forseveral factors including loan growth, much of which resulted from the second quarteraddition of 2019.PPP loans and loans acquired from Three Shores, accelerated recognition of net deferred fees on forgiven and repaid PPP loans and a more favorable deposit mix. The net interest margin decreased to 3.42%3.19% for the three months ended June 30, 20202021 from 4.12%3.42% for the same period in 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 net interest revenue was $228 million and the net interest margin was 3.73% compared to net interest revenue of $233 million and net interest margin of 4.11% for the same period in 2019. The decreases in net interest revenue and net interest margin were primarily due to the effect of falling interest rates on our asset sensitive balance sheet which more than offsetand a change in the positive impactcomposition of continued growth ofinterest-earning assets as we strategically increased our loansecurities portfolio and the reduction of borrowed funds since June 30, 2019.to deploy excess liquidity from strong deposit growth.
TheWe recorded a negative provision for credit losses was $33.5of $13.6 million for the second quarter of 2020,2021, compared to $3.25$33.5 million of provision expense for the second quarter of 2020. The negative provision in 2021 resulted from a downward adjustment to the ACL, reflecting an improved economic forecast. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2020 reflected the expected macroeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated increase in charge-offs. We recognized net recoveries for the second quarter of 2021 of $456,000 compared to $6.15 million of net charge-offs for the same period in 2020.
Noninterest income of $35.8 million for the second quarter of 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the provision for credit losses2021 was $55.7 million, compared to $6.55 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in provision expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2020 reflected higher expected losses resulting primarily from the adoption of CECL and the macroeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our CECL
calculation. As a result, as of June 30, 2020, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans was $104down $4.40 million, or 1.02% of loans, compared to $62.1 million, or 0.70% of loans, at December 31, 2019. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2020 were $6.15 million compared to $2.44 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in charge-offs for the quarter was mostly attributable to a few large credits that have been deteriorating over the past several quarters. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, nonperforming assets of $48.5 million and $35.8 million, respectively, were 0.32% and 0.28% of total assets, respectively.
Noninterest income of $40.2 million for the second quarter of 2020 was up $15.7 million, or 64%11%, from the second quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in mortgage origination activity which resulted in a $18.3 million increase in mortgage fees. We closed $562 million in2020. Gains on sales of mortgage loans inand related fees drove most of the second quarter of 2020 compared with $260 million a year ago. These increases were partially offset by decreases in service charges and fees driven mostly by a reduction in overdraft transaction volume. For the first six months of 2020, total noninterest income was up $20.6decrease, down $12.5 million compared to the same period of 2019 mostly2020. The decrease reflects the demand in the real estate mortgage market, which, while still strong, has started to level out after the initial surge in response to falling interest rates in early 2020. This decrease was partially offset by increases in gains on sales of other loans, driven by higher sales volume of SBA/USDA and equipment financing receivables, and wealth management fees, which reflects the same factors affecting the quarter.addition of Three Shores’ wealth management business.
For the second quarter and first six months of 2020,2021, noninterest expenses of $84.0$95.5 million and $166increased $11.6 million, respectively, increased $2.17 million and $7.62 million, respectively, fromor 14%, compared to the same periodsperiod of 2019.2020. The increases wereincrease was primarily attributable to increasesa $7.60 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, professional fees, and advertising and public relations partially offset by decreases in merger-related and other charges. Increases in salaries and employee benefits werewhich was driven by several factors, including the inclusion of Three Shores employees, higher mortgage commissions, incentives and incentivesbonus accruals as a result of increased mortgagestrong production annual merit-based salary increases awarded during the second quarterperiod and annual merit increases effective in April of 2021.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, increased overtime wageswe reported net income of $144 million and $57.0 million, respectively, and diluted earnings per common share of $1.60 and $0.71, respectively. Operating net income (non-GAAP) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, of $146 million and $57.9 million, respectively, excluded merger-related charges for both periods. Net interest revenue and net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $270 million and 3.20%, respectively, compared to $228 million and 3.73%, respectively, for the same period in connection with2020. Results of operations for the processing of PPP loans duringsix months ended June 30, 2021 were largely driven by the second quarter of 2020, and investments in new staff for key areas ofsame factors affecting the bank. The increase in professional fees was primarily a result of increased legal and consulting fees related to various projects in process. The increase in advertising and public relations expense was primarily attributable to a $1.00 million contribution to our private foundation, United Community Bank Foundation, made during the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in merger-related and other charges was a result of elevated merger-related costs during the second quarter and first six monthsare discussed in further detail throughout the following sections of 2019 due to the completion of the acquisition of FMBT on May 1, 2019.MD&A.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”)GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Except as described below, thereOur more critical accounting and reporting policies include accounting for the ACL and fair value measurements, both of which involve the use of estimates and require significant judgments by management. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in MD&A in our 2020 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the Critical Accounting Policies as described in our 2019 10-K.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Since the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, the allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of financial instruments, with particular applicability on our balance sheet to loans and unfunded loan commitments. Estimating the amount of the allowance for credit losses requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to historical experience, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the value of collateral on collateral-dependent loans. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on our consolidated balance sheet. Loan losses are charged against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors.
There are many factors affecting the allowance for credit losses; some are quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. Although management believes its process for determining the allowance adequately considers all the potential factors that could potentially result in credit losses, the process includes subjective elements and is susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provision for credit losses could be required that could adversely affect our earnings or financial position in future periods.
Additional information on the loan portfolio and allowance for credit losses can be found in the sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis titled “Asset Quality and Risk Elements” and “Nonperforming Assets.” Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements includes additional information oncritical accounting policies related to the allowance for credit losses.in 2021.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation and Explanation
This Form 10-QReport contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial information includes the following measures: “tangible book value per common share,” and “tangible common equity to tangible assets.” In addition, management presents non-GAAP operating performance measures, which exclude merger-related and other items that are not part of our ongoing business operations. Operating performance measures include “expenses – operating,” “net income – operating,” “diluted income per common share – operating,” “return on common equity – operating,” “return on tangible common equity – operating,” “return on assets – operating,” “dividend payout ratio – operating” and “efficiency ratio – operating.” Management has developed internal policies and procedures to accurately capture and account for merger-related and other charges and those charges are reviewed with the audit committeeAudit Committee of our Board of Directors each quarter. Management uses these non-GAAP measures because it believes they provide useful supplemental information for evaluating our operations and performance over periods of time, as well as in managing and evaluating our business and in discussions about our operations and performance. Management believes these non-GAAP measures may also provide users of our financial information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial results and credit trends, as well as a comparison to financial results for prior periods. Nevertheless, non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, measures determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because non-GAAP measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare our non-GAAP measures to similarly titled measures used by other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP are included in Table 1 of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Results of Operations
We reported net income and diluted earnings per common share of $25.1 million and $0.32, respectively, for the second quarter of 2020. This compared to net income and diluted earnings per common share of $44.1 million and $0.55, respectively, for the same period in 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we reported net income and diluted earnings per share of $57.0 million and $0.71, respectively, compared to net income and diluted earnings per share of $88.3 million and $1.10, respectively, for the same period in 2019.
We reported net income - operating (non-GAAP) of $25.4 million and $57.9 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2020, compared to $47.2 million and $92.1 million for the same periods in 2019. For the second quarter and first six months of 2020, net income - operating (non-GAAP) excludes merger-related and branch closure charges, which net of tax, totaled $310,000 and $936,000, respectively. For the second quarter and first six months of 2019, net income - operating (non-GAAP) excludes merger-related and branch closure charges and executive retirement charges, which net of tax, totaled $3.15 million and $3.71 million, respectively.MD&A.

Net interest revenue, which is the difference between the interest earned on assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds, is the single largest component of total revenue. Management seeks to optimize this revenue while balancing interest rate, credit and liquidity risks.
The banking industry uses two ratios to measure the relative profitability of net interest revenue. The net interest spread measures the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread eliminates the effect of noninterest-bearing deposits and gives a direct perspective on the effect of market interest rate movements. The net interest margin is an indication of the profitability of a company’s balance sheet and is defined as net interest revenue as a percent of average total interest-earning assets, which includes the positive effect of funding a portion of interest-earning assets with noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity.
Net interest revenue for the second quarters of 2020 and 2019 was $109 million and $118 million, respectively. As set forth in the following tables, fully taxable equivalent net interest revenue for the second quarter of 2020 was $110 million, representing a decrease of $8.33 million, or 7%, from the same period in 2019. The net interest spread and net interest margin for the second quarter of 2020 of 3.14% and 3.42%, respectively, decreased 58 basis points and 70 basis points, respectively, from the second quarter of 2019. For the first six months of 2020 and 2019, net interest revenue was $228 million and $233 million, respectively. Fully taxable equivalent net interest revenue for the first six months of 2020 was $230 million, a decrease of $5.23 million, or 2%, from the first six months of 2019.
The following tables also indicate the relationship between interest revenue and expense and the average amounts of assets and liabilities, which provides further insight into net interest spread and net interest margin for the periods indicated. As shown in the tables, both average assets and average liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 increased compared to the same periods of 2019. For the second quarter of 2020, the2020. The increase in average assets was primarily in average interest-earning assets including average loans, securities and interest-earning deposits in banks. The increase in average liabilities was driven by the increase in both average loans of $1.10 billion, or 13%, from the second quarter of 2019, which reflects the PPP loans originated during the second quarter of 2020interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits. In addition to organic growth, the combinationincreases in average loans and deposits reflect those acquired from Three Shores and the addition of which more than offsetPPP loans to our loan portfolio. PPP loans also contributed to deposit growth, since in many cases the impactproceeds of PPP loans remained in United customer deposit accounts during the salefirst half of 2021. Approximately $1.93 billion of the indirect auto portfolio on December 31, 2019. The increase in average loans was offset by an intentional decrease in average taxable securities. The increase in average assets for the three months ended June 30, 2021 can be attributed to the Three Shores and PPP loan portfolios. The forgiveness of PPP loans and strong growth in deposits generated additional liquidity, which we deployed into our investment portfolio and was also reflected in our cash balances.
Net interest revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 was $138 million and $270 million, respectively. As set forth in the following tables, FTE net interest revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 was $139 million and $272 million, representing 27% and 19% increases, respectively, from the second quarter and first six months of 2020. The increase in net interest revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods of 2020 was primarily driven by the loan growth discussed above and accelerated recognition of net deferred PPP loan fees upon forgiveness or repayment, partially offset by the impact of historically low interest rates on our asset sensitive balance sheet.
The net interest spread for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 decreased 7 and 36 basis points, respectively, from the same periodperiods of 2019 was funded primarily through an increase in average noninterest-bearing customer deposits.
2020. The net interest margin for the second quarter and first six months of 2021 decreased 23 basis points and 53 basis points, respectively, from the same periods of 2020. The decrease in the net interest margin and net interest spread during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021 was primarily attributable to the impact of falling interest rates as the decreases in loan and securities yields exceeded the decrease in deposit rates. Also, strong deposit growth led to a changing mix of interest-earning assets, which contributed to the net interest margin and net interest spread compression as average cash balances increased and the average balance of the lower-yielding investment securities portfolio as a percentage of total assets was 25% for the second quarter of 2021 compared with 17% for the same period of 2020. The impact of the falling yield on our asset sensitive balance sheet as loan yields fell faster than we could lower deposit rates. In March of 2020, the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) lowered interest rates twice for a total reduction of 150 basis points in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was the most aggressive action taken by the FOMC since the financial crisis in 2008. This followed three other federal funds rate reductions since second quarter 2019 of 25 basis points each on July 31, September 18 and October 30. Although the earning asset mix generally improved as growth in the loan portfolio replaced an intentionally shrinking investment portfolio, lower-yielding PPP loans and cash balances exerted downward pressure on the margin. The negative impact of falling interest rates and the introduction of lower-yielding PPP loans and higher cash balancesinterest-earning assets was partially mitigated by a more favorable fundinginterest-bearing deposit mix. InFor the second quarter and first sixthree months ended June 30, 2021, 84% of 2020, noninterest-bearinginterest-bearing deposits funded 34% and 32%, respectively,consisted of our interest-earning assetslower-cost transaction deposits compared with 29% and 28%, respectively,to 75% for the same periodsperiod of 2019. Since2020, representing a shift from higher-cost time deposits. The shift in the first quarter of 2019, we substantially reduced our use of wholesale funding sources, with nearly all of our balance sheet funded with customer deposits as ofinterest-bearing deposit mix was also evident when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The decrease in the net interest margin was also partially offset by continued growth in noninterest-bearing deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses
Prior to January 1, 2020, the provision for credit losses was based on the then-applicable incurred loss model and represented an estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded commitments at the end of each reporting period. Since the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, the provision for credit lossesThe ACL represents management’s estimate of life of loan credit losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for unfunded commitments, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, represents expected losses on unfunded loan commitments that are expected to result in outstanding loan balances. Management’s estimate of credit losses under CECL is determined using a complex model that relies on reasonable and supportable forecasts and historical loss information to determine the balance of the ACL and resulting provision for credit losses.
The provisionWe recorded negative provisions for credit losses was $33.5of $13.6 million and $55.7$25.9 million respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, respectively, compared to $3.25$33.5 million and $6.55$55.7 million respectively,in provision expense for the same periods in 2019.2020, respectively. The amount of provision recorded in each period was the amount required such that the total ACL reflected the appropriate balance as determined under the applicable accounting standards in effect at each balance sheet date.by management reflecting expected life of loan losses. The increase innegative provision expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 compared to the same periods of 20192020 was primarily a result of higher expected credit losses mostly resulting froman improved economic forecast combined with net recoveries recognized during the adoptionsecond quarter and first half of CECL and the macroeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our CECL calculation. Loan growth also contributed to the higher2021. The provision for credit losses.losses for the second quarter and first half of 2020 was elevated due to a less optimistic economic forecast amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, net loan charge-offs (recoveries) as an annualized percentage of average outstanding loans were 0.31%(0.01)% compared to 0.13%0.31% for the same period in 2019.2020. The increase in charge-offsnet recoveries amount recorded during the first six months of 20202021 was mostly attributable to one large commercial credit recovery during the first quarter, strong recoveries from a few largenumber of other credits that have been deteriorating overand lower charge-offs during the past several quarters.second quarter.
Additional discussion on credit quality and the ACL is included in the “Asset Quality and Risk Elements” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsMD&A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.Report.

Total service charges and fees for the first half of 2021 were flat compared to the same period of 2020, reflecting an increase in other service charges and fees that was mostly offset by a decrease in overdraft fees. During the second quarter of 2021, total service charges and first six months of 2020 noninterest incomefees increased $15.7$1.34 million and $20.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periodsrespective period of 2019. The increase2020, which was primarilymostly driven by the receipt of larger vendor rebates reflected in other service charges and fees for the three and six months ended 2021. Overdraft fees have remained at relatively low levels since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first half of 2020, the decrease in overdraft fees was attributable to lower transaction volume due to increaseswidespread economic shutdowns combined with government stimulus payments disbursed during the second quarter, both of which increased transaction deposit account balances. During the first half of 2021, transaction deposit account balances remained elevated due to government stimulus payments and customer preferences to allocate more funds to transaction deposit accounts rather than time deposits in the current low interest rate environment.
Mortgage loan gains and related fees consists primarily of fees earned on mortgage originations, gains on the sale of mortgages in the secondary market and fair value adjustments to our mortgage servicing asset. We recognize the majority of gains on mortgages at the point customers enter into mortgage rate lock commitments, making our mortgage pipeline a significant driver of mortgage gains in any given period.The change in mortgage loan gains and related fees is strongly tied to the interest rate environment. Customer demand, also primarily driven by interest rates, as well as the market-driven gain on sale spread are also primary drivers of mortgage income. From the second quarter of 2020 through the first quarter of 2021, we experienced a strong demand for mortgage refinances and BOLI income, partially offset byhome purchases following the drop in interest rates in early 2020. During the second quarter of 2021, the demand for refinances began to decrease as rates increased, resulting in a decrease in service charges and fees, gains on salesthe volume of other loans, and other noninterest income.
Service charges and fees decreased $2.07 million and $1.88 millionmortgage rate locks compared to the same period of 2020. Overall mortgage originations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 surpassed that of the respective periods of 2020 respectively, in comparisonas the demand for home purchases remained strong. Offsetting strong mortgage origination demand, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded negative fair value adjustments to the same periodsmortgage servicing rights asset of 2019, which is mostly attributable to a decrease in overdraft fees. Lower customer transaction volume due to the economic shutdown during$2.58 million and $1.78 million, respectively, as projected mortgage prepayments accelerated as interest rates decreased. Additionally, our gain on sale spread for the second quarter and first half of 2020, combined with government stimulus payments during2021 of 3.86% decreased compared to 4.24% for the second quarter of 2020 increasedcontributing to the balances of customer deposit accounts, whichdecrease in turn reduced the number of overdraft transactions.mortgage loan gains.

Asset Quality and Risk Elements
We manage asset quality and control credit risk through review and oversight of the loan portfolio as well as adherence to policies designed to promote sound underwriting and loan monitoring practices. Our credit administrationrisk management function is responsible for monitoring asset quality and Board of Directors approved portfolio concentration limits, establishing credit policies and procedures and enforcing the consistent application of these policies and procedures. Additional information on our credit administration function is included in Part I, Item 1 under the heading Lending Activities in our 20192020 10-K.
We classify loans as “substandard” when there is a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardizes the repayment by the borrower and there is a distinct possibility that we could sustain some loss if the deficiency is not corrected. Performing substandard loans, which are substandard loans that are still accruing interest, totaled $112 million and $125 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
We conduct reviews of classified performing and non-performing loans, TDRs, past due loans and portfolio concentrations on a regular basis to identify risk migration and potential charges to the ACL. These items are discussed in a series of meetings attended by Credit Risk Managementcredit risk management leadership and leadership from various lending groups. In addition to the reviews mentioned above, an independent loan review team reviews the portfolio to ensure consistent application of risk rating policies and procedures.
The ACL at June 30, 2020 reflects management’s assessment of the life of loan expected credit losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded loan commitments. This assessment involves uncertainty and judgment and is subject to change in future periods. The amount of any changes could be significant if management’s assessment of loan quality or collateral values changes substantially with respect to one or more loan relationships or portfolios. The allocation of the ACL is based on reasonable and supportable forecasts,
historical data, subjective judgment and estimates and therefore, is not necessarily indicative of the specific amounts or loan categories in which charge-offs may ultimately occur. In addition, bank regulatory authorities, as part of their periodic examination of the Bank, may require adjustments to the provision for credit losses in future periods if, in their opinion, the results of their review warrant such additions. See the “CriticalCritical Accounting Policies”Policies section of MD&A in our 2020 10-K for additional information on the allowance for credit losses.
The total ACL, which includes a portion related to unfunded commitments, totaled $116 million at June 30, 2020, compared with $65.5 million at December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020, the ACL for loans was $104 million, or 1.02% of loans, compared with $62.1 million, or 0.70% of total loans, at December 31, 2019. The adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020 added $6.88 million to the ACL for loans and $1.87 million to the reserve for unfunded commitments resulting in a total ACL of $74.3 million at the time of adoption. The increase since adoption primarily reflects higher expected credit losses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the impact of loan growth during 2020. The impact of loan growth on the ACL was partially mitigated by the fact that PPP loans were considered low risk assets due to the related 100% guarantee by the SBA.
The following table presents a summary of the changes in the ACL for the periods indicated.

The reduction in the ACL since December 31, 2020 reflects an improved economic forecast, which includes an improved COVID-19 pandemic outlook, government stimulus spending, projected GDP growth and a continued low interest rate environment. Qualitative factors were used to moderate the improvement in the economic forecast for certain portfolios in recognition of the increase in special mention and substandard assets at June 30, 2021.
The following table presents a summary of loans by risk category for the dates indicated. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in this Report for detailed descriptions of the risk categories.

The increase in special mention and substandard loans since December 31, 2020 mostly reflects downgrades made during the first quarter of 2021 that remained in place as of June 30, 2021. Downgrades primarily consisted of borrowers in industries with potentially higher risk of being impacted by the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as senior care and hotels. We anticipate these borrowers’ financial position to strengthen in the second half of 2021 as the economic outlook of the pandemic continues to improve.
We classify loans as substandard when there is one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment by the borrower and there is a distinct possibility that we could sustain some loss if the deficiency is not corrected. At June 30, 2021, substandard loans included accrual and nonaccrual loans of $193 million and $46.1 million, respectively. Special mention loans continue to accrue interest.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”),NPAs, which include nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties, totaled $48.5$46.3 million at June 30, 2020,2021, compared with $35.8$62.2 million at December 31, 2019.2020. The increasedecrease in NPAs since December 31, 20192020 is primarily a result of an increase inpaydowns and payoffs of nonaccrual loans. Specifically, there were a few large substandard credits that reached nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2020. In addition, when we adopted CECL on January 1, 2020, we elected to disaggregate the former Purchased Credit Impaired (“PCI”) pools and no longer consider the loan pool to be the unit of account. Reporting these contractually delinquent Purchased Credit Deteriorated (“PCD”) loans as nonaccrual loans using the same criteria as other loans contributed $2.54 million to the increase in nonaccrual loans since December 31, 2019.
Our policy is to place loans on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full principal and interest on a loan is not likely to be collected or when the loan becomes 90 days past duedue. A loan may continue on accrual after 90 days, however, if it is well collateralized and is not well-collateralized or in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current interest revenue. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to reduce the loan’s amortized cost. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, there is a sustained period of repayment performance and future payments are reasonably assured.
Generally, we do not commit to lend additional funds to customers whose loans are on nonaccrual status, although in certain isolated cases, we execute forbearance agreements whereby we agree to continue to fund construction loans to completion or other lines of credit as long as the borrower meets the conditions of the forbearance agreement. We may also fund other amounts necessary to protect collateral such as amounts to pay past due property taxes and insurance coverage.
Foreclosed property is initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell. If the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, at the time of foreclosure is less than the loan balance, the deficiency is charged against the allowance for loan losses. If the lesser of fair value, less estimated costs to sell, or the listed selling price, less the costs to sell, of the foreclosed property decreases during the holding period, a valuation allowance is established with a charge to foreclosed property expense. When the foreclosed property is sold, a gain or loss is recognized on the sale for the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the property.
The table below summarizes NPAs.

At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we had $50.4$57.3 million and $54.2$61.6 million, respectively, in loans with terms that have been modified in TDRs. Included therein were $15.4$16.7 million and $8.25$20.6 million, respectively, of TDRs that were classified as nonaccrual and were included in nonperforming loans. The remaining TDRs with an aggregate balance of $35.0$40.6 million and $46.0$41.0 million, respectively, were performing according to their modified terms and were therefore not considered to be nonperforming assets. As previously mentioned, the
The CARES Act and interagency guidance granted temporary relief from TDR classification for certain loans restructured as a result of
COVID-19. During the first and second quarters of 2020, we receivedgranted a significant amountnumber of payment deferral requests fromto our borrowers related to the economic disruption created by COVID-19. We continued to grant payment deferral requests in 2021 to certain borrowers. The following table presents remaining COVID-19 most of which are exempt from TDR classification inrelated deferrals that, to the short term. Asextent they qualified for exemption, were not considered TDRs as of June 30, 2020, we had granted short-term deferrals on loans that were not reported as new TDRs of $1.76 billion.

Investment Securities
The composition of the investment securities portfolio reflects our investment strategy of maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity while providing a relatively stable source of revenue. The investment securities portfolio also provides a balance to interest rate risk and credit risk in other categories of the balance sheet while providing a vehicle for the investment of available funds, furnishing liquidity, and supplying securities to pledge as required collateral for certain deposits and borrowings.
At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we had HTM debt securities held-to-maturity with a carrying amount of $307$852 million and $284$420 million, respectively, and AFS debt securities available-for-sale totaling $2.13$4.08 billion and $2.27$3.22 billion, respectively. The increased balances at June 30, 2021 reflect our decision to deploy liquidity generated through strong deposit growth by purchasing additional investment securities. At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the securities portfolio represented approximately 16%26% and 20%, respectively, of total assets.
The investment securities portfolio primarily consists of Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, non-agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate securities, municipal securities and asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities rely on the underlying pools of mortgage loans to provide a cash flow of principal and interest. The actual maturities of these securities will usually differ from contractual maturities because loans underlying the securities can prepay. Decreases in interest rates will generally cause an acceleration of prepayment levels. In a declining or prolonged low interest rate environment, we may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from these prepayments in assets that have comparable yields. In a rising rate environment, the opposite occurs - prepayments tend to slow and the weighted average life extends. This is referred to as extension risk which can lead to lower levels of liquidity due to the delay of cash receipts and can result in the holding of a below market yielding asset for a longer period of time.
In accordance with CECL, our held-to-maturityHTM debt securities portfolio wasis evaluated quarterly to assess whether an ACL wasis required. We measure expected credit losses on held-to-maturityHTM debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. At adoption on January 1, 2020June 30, 2021 and at June 30,December 31, 2020, calculated credit losses on held-to-maturityHTM debt securities were not material due to the high credit quality of the portfolio, which included securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies, andGSEs, high credit quality municipal securities.municipalities and supranational entities. As a result, we did not record anno ACL for held-to-maturityHTM debt securities at adoption or at June 30, 2020.was recorded.
For available-for-saleAFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, if we intend to sell, or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. Absent an intent or more than likely requirement to sell, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. The evaluation considers factors such as the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, changes to the security’s rating, and adverse conditions specific to the security. If the evaluation indicates a credit loss exists, an ACL may be recorded, with such allowance limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. Any impairment unrelated to credit factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.OCI. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was no ACL related to the available-for-saleAFS debt securities portfolio. Losses on fixed income securities at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 primarily reflected the effect of changes in interest rates.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Goodwill represents the premium paid for acquired companies above the net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including separately identifiable intangible assets. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the net carrying amount of goodwill was $327 million. Goodwill is not amortized but is assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment, referred to as a triggering event. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, accounting guidance allows for an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not, or a greater than 50% likelihood, that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. When it is more likely than not that impairment has occurred, management is required to perform a quantitative analysis and, if necessary, adjust the carrying amount of goodwill by recording a goodwill impairment loss. During the latter part of the first quarter and the second quarter of 2020, as a result of market concerns about the potential impact of COVID-19, our stock price declined such that it traded below book value. As a result of this triggering event, we have qualitatively assessed and concluded that there is not a greater than 50% likelihood that our fair value is less than our carrying amount as of June 30, 2020, given the anticipated short duration of the change in macroeconomic conditions and excess of value as of the latest annual test performed as of September 30, 2019. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact of the pandemic on our value and, should conditions be more severe and/or recovery extend for a longer period than currently anticipated, our assessment may change, which could necessitate the write-down or write-off of goodwill or other intangible assets.
Core deposit intangibles, representing the value of acquired deposit relationships, are amortizing intangible assets that are required to be tested for impairment only when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. There were no events or circumstances that led us to believe that any impairment existed on core deposit intangible assets.
Deposits
Customer deposits are the primary source of funds for the continued growth of our earning assets. Our high level of service, as evidenced by our strong customer satisfaction scores, has been instrumental in attracting and retaining customer deposit accounts. AtIn addition to organic growth, at June 30, 2020,2021, the increase in core transaction deposits was partlyalso attributable to PPP-related deposits. The growth in customer deposits has allowed us to reduce our usage of brokered deposits, which is reflected in the decrease since December 31, 2020. The decline in time deposits is mostly driven by customer preference to allocate funds to transaction deposits in the current low rate environment. The following table sets forth the deposit composition for the periods indicated.

Borrowing Activities
At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we had long-term debt outstanding of $312$262 million and $213$327 million, respectively, which includes senior debentures, subordinated debentures, and trust preferred securities. DuringThe reduction in long-term debt since December 31, 2020 was a result of the second quarterrepayment of 2020 we issued $100 million of 5% fixed-to-floating ratethe 2025 subordinated debentures, the Southern Bancorp Capital Trust I trust preferred securities and the 2022 senior debentures with a maturity date of June 15, 2030. The proceeds generated from the issuance of these debentures will be used for general business purposes. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding long-term debt.$11.3 million, $4.38 million and $50.0 million, respectively.
Contractual Obligations
There have not been any material changes to our contractual obligations since December 31, 2019.2020.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees.
A commitment to extend credit is an agreement to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued to guarantee a customer’s performance to a third party and have essentially the same credit risk as extending loan facilities to customers. Those commitments are primarily issued to local businesses.
The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. We use the same credit underwriting procedures for making commitments, letters of credit and financial guarantees, as we use for underwriting on-balance sheet instruments. Management evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis and the amount of the collateral, if deemed necessary, is based on the credit evaluation. Collateral held varies, but may include unimproved and improved real estate, certificates of deposit, personal property or other acceptable collateral.
All of these instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The total amount of these instruments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements because a significant portion of these instruments expire without being used. We are not involved in off-balance sheet contractual relationships, other than those disclosed in this report, that could result in liquidity needs or other commitments, or that could significantly affect earnings. See Note 2122 to the
consolidated financial statements included in our 20192020 10-K and Note 1412 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-QReport for additional information on off-balance sheet arrangements.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Management
The absolute level and volatility of interest rates can have a significant effect on profitability. The objective of interest rate risk management is to identify and manage the sensitivity of net interest revenue to changing interest rates, consistent with our overall financial goals. Based on economic conditions, asset quality and various other considerations, management establishes tolerance ranges for interest rate sensitivity and manages within these ranges.
Net interest revenue and the fair value of financial instruments are influenced by changes in the level of interest rates. We limit our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies established by our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”)ALCO and approved by the Board of Directors.Board. The ALCO meets periodically and has responsibility for formulating and recommending asset/liability management policies to the Board, of Directors, formulating and implementing strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and/or earnings, and reviewing interest rate sensitivity.
One of the tools management uses to estimate and manage the sensitivity of net interest revenue to changes in interest rates is an asset/liability simulation model. Resulting estimates are based upon several assumptions for each scenario, including loan and deposit re-pricing characteristics and the rate of prepayments. The ALCO periodically reviews the assumptions for reasonableness based on historical data and future expectations; however, actual net interest revenue may differ from model results. The primary objective of the simulation model is to measure the potential change in net interest revenue over time using multiple interest rate scenarios. The base scenario assumes rates remain flat and is the scenario to which all others are compared, to in order to measure the change in net interest revenue. Policy limits are based on immediate rate shock scenarios, as well as gradually rising and falling rate scenarios, which are all compared to the base scenario. Our assumptions include floors such that market rates and discount rates cannotdo not go below zero. Other scenarios analyzed may include delayed rate shocks, yield curve steepening or flattening, or other variations in rate movements. While the primary policy scenarios focus on a 12-month time frame, longer time horizons are also modeled.
Our policy is based on the 12-month impact on net interest revenue of interest rate shocks and ramps that increase from 100 to 400 basis points or decrease 100 to 200 basis points from the base scenario. In the shock scenarios, rates immediately change the full amount at the scenario onset. In the ramp scenarios, rates change by 25 basis points per month. Our policy limits the projected change in net interest revenue over the first 12 months to an 8% decrease for each 100 basis point change in the increasing and decreasing rate ramp and shock scenarios. The following table presents our interest sensitivity position at the dates indicated.

Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of the portfolio of assets and liabilities. These repricing characteristics are the time frames within which the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are subject to change in interest rates either at replacement, repricing or maturity. Interest rate sensitivity management focuses on the maturity structure of assets and liabilities and their repricing characteristics during periods of changes in market interest rates. Effective interest rate sensitivity management seeks to ensure that both assets and liabilities respond to changes in interest rates on a net basis within an acceptable timeframe, thereby minimizing the potentially adverse effect of interest rate changes on net interest revenue.
We have discretion in the extent and timing of deposit repricing depending upon the competitive pressures in the markets in which we operate. Changes in the mix of earning assets or supporting liabilities can either increase or decrease the net interest margin without affecting interest rate sensitivity. The interest rate spread between an asset and its supporting liability can vary significantly even when the timing of repricing for both the asset and the liability remains the same, due to the two instruments repricing according to different indices. This is commonly referred to as basis risk.
Derivative financial instruments are used to manage interest rate sensitivity. These contracts generally consist of interest rate swaps under which we pay a variable rate (or fixed rate, as the case may be) and receive a fixed rate (or variable rate, as the case may be). In addition, investment securities and wholesale funding strategies are used to manage interest rate risk.
Derivative financial instruments that are designated as accounting hedges are classified as either cash flow or fair value hedges. The change in fair value of cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income.OCI. Fair value hedges recognize in earnings both the effect of the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument and the offsetting effect of the change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability associated with the particular risk of that asset or liability being hedged. We have other derivative financial instruments that are not designated as accounting hedges, but are used for interest rate risk management purposes and as effective economic hedges. Derivative financial instruments that are not accounted for as accounting hedges are marked to market through earnings.
Our policy requires all non-customer derivative financial instruments be used only for asset/liability management through the hedging of specific transactions, positions or risks, and not for trading or speculative purposes. Management believes that the risk associated with using derivative financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risk sensitivity is appropriately monitored and controlled and will not have any material adverse effect on financial condition or results of operations. In order to mitigate potential credit risk, from time to time we may require the counterparties to derivative contracts to pledge cash and/or securities as collateral to cover the net exposure.
Liquidity Management
Liquidity is defined as the ability to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves maintaining the ability to meet the daily cash flow requirements of customers, both depositors and borrowers. The primary objective is to ensure that sufficient funding is available, at a reasonable cost, to meet ongoing operational cash needs and to take advantage of revenue producing opportunities as they arise. While the desired level of liquidity will vary depending upon a variety of factors, our primary goal is to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity in all expected economic environments. To assist in determining the adequacy of our liquidity, we perform a variety of liquidity stress tests. We maintain an unencumbered liquid asset reserve to help ensure our ability to meet our obligations under normal conditions for at least a 12-month period and under severely adverse liquidity conditions for a minimum of 30 days.
An important part of the Bank’s liquidity resides in the asset portion of the balance sheet, which provides liquidity primarily through loan interest and principal repayments and the maturities and sales of securities, as well as the ability to use these assets as collateral for borrowings on a secured basis.
The Bank’s main source of liquidity is customer interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts. Liquidity is also available from wholesale funding sources consisting primarily of Federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and brokered deposits. These sources of liquidity are generally short-term in nature and are used as necessary to fund asset growth and meet other short-term liquidity needs.
In addition, because the Holding Company is a separate entity and apart from the Bank, it must provide for its own liquidity. The Holding Company is responsible for the payment of dividends declared for its common and preferred shareholders, and interest and principal on any outstanding debt or trust preferred securities. The Holding Company currently has internal capital resources to meet these obligations. While the Holding Company has access to the capital markets and maintains a line of credit as a contingent funding source, the ultimate sources of its liquidity are subsidiary service fees and dividends from the Bank, which are limited by applicable law and regulations. Effective July 1, 2021, the Bank became a South Carolina state-chartered bank, which permits the Bank to pay a dividend of up to 100% of its current year earnings without requesting approval of the South Carolina Board of Financial Institutions, provided certain conditions are met. Prior to the conversion to a South Carolina state-chartered bank, Georgia law generally limited the payment of dividends by the Bank from retained earnings of up to 50% of its prior year earnings without requesting approval of the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance. Holding Company liquidity is managed to a minimum of 15-months of positive cash flow after considering all of its liquidity needs over this period.
At June 30, 2020,2021, we had sufficient qualifying collateral to provide borrowing capacity for FHLB advances of $1.40 billion and Federal Reserve discount window borrowing capacity of $1.42$1.26 billion, as well as unpledged investment securities of $1.91$3.78 billion that could be used as collateral for additional borrowings. In addition, to these wholesale sources, we have the ability to attract retail deposits by competing more aggressively on pricing. In
Significant uses and sources of cash during the second quarter of 2020, we originated a significant amount of PPP loans, for which funding is available through the Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility (“PPPLF”) announced by the Federal Reserve in April of 2020. As ofsix months ended June 30, 2020 we had outstanding PPP loans of $1.10 billion and no balance outstanding under the PPPLF as we have been able to self-fund the majority of our PPP loans through growth in deposits.
As disclosed in2021 are summarized below. See the consolidated statement of cash flows netin this Report for further detail.

Pursuant to the CARES Act, we have adopted relief provided by federal banking regulatory agencies for the delay of the adverse capital impact of CECL for the two-year period after adoption. This optional two-year delay is followed by an optional three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay. Under the transition provision, the amount of aggregate capital benefit is phased out by 25% each year with the full impact of adoption completely recognized by the beginning of the sixth year.AFS debt securities.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
A bank’s asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an industrial firm in that primarily all assets and liabilities of a bank are monetary in nature with relatively little investment in fixed assets or inventories. Inflation has an important effect on the growth of total assets and the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio.
Management believes the effect of inflation on financial results depends on our ability to react to changes in interest rates, and by such reaction, reduce the inflationary effect on performance. We have an asset/liability management program to manage interest rate sensitivity. In addition, periodic reviews of banking services and products are conducted to adjust pricing in view of current and expected costs.
