FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1.)BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Financial Institutions, Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial holding company organized in 1931 under the laws of New York State (“New York”). The Company provides diversified financial services through its subsidiaries, Five Star Bank, SDN Insurance Agency, LLC (“SDN”), Courier Capital, LLC (“Courier Capital”) and HNP Capital, LLC (“HNP Capital”). The Company offers a broad array of deposit, lending and other financial services to individuals, municipalities and businesses in Western and Central New York through its wholly-owned New York chartered banking subsidiary, Five Star Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank also has a commercial loan production office in Ellicott City (Baltimore), Maryland and indirect lending network relationships with franchised automobile dealers in the Capital District of New York and Northern and Central Pennsylvania. SDN provides a broad range of insurance services to personal and business clients. Courier Capital and HNP Capital provide customized investment management, investment consulting and retirement plan services to individuals, businesses, institutions, foundations and retirement plans.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated statements of financial condition, income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods indicated and contain adequate disclosure to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.year or any other period.

Operational, Accounting and Reporting Impacts Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, including our operating footprint of Western and Central New York. In response to this crisis, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided an estimated $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the economy by supporting individuals and businesses through loans, grants, tax changes, and other types of relief. Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to:

Accounting for Loan Modifications - The CARES Act provided that a financial institution may elect to suspend (1) the application of GAAP for certain loan modifications related to COVID-19 made between March 1, 2020 and January 1, 2022 that would otherwise be categorized as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) and (2) any determination that such loan modifications would be considered a TDR, including the related impairment for accounting purposes.
Paycheck Protection Program - The CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), an expansion of the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) 7(a) loan program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (“EIDL”), administered directly by the SBA. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 provided approximately $284 billion for PPP loans in an additional round of funding under the program and extended the PPP through March 31, 2021. This additional round of PPP loan funding iswas authorized for first-time borrowers and for second draws by certain borrowers who have previously received PPP loans. On March 30, 2021, the PPP Extension Act of 2021 was signed into law, which extended the program to May 31, 2021.
Mortgage Forbearance - Under the CARES Act, a borrower with a federally backed mortgage loan that was experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 was able to request a forbearance until September 30,December 31, 2021.

(1.)BASIS OF PRESENTATIOYPRESENTATION OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Also, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the National Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), in consultation with the state financial regulators (collectively, the “agencies”) issued a joint interagency statement (issued March 22, 2020; revised statement issued April 7, 2020). Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to:

Accounting for Loan Modifications - Loan modifications that do not meet the conditions of the CARES Act may still qualify as a modification that does not need to be accounted for as a TDR. The agencies confirmed with FASB staff that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or insignificant delays in payment.
Past Due Reporting - With regard to loans not otherwise reportable as past due, financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral. A loan’s payment date is governed by the due date stipulated in the legal agreement. If a financial institution agrees to a payment deferral, these loans would not be considered past due during the period of the deferral.
Nonaccrual Status and Charge-offs - During short-term COVID-19 modifications, these loans generally should not be reported as nonaccrual or as classified.

Effective March 23, 2020 through July 9, 2020, for consumer customers,As of September 30, 2022, the Bank waived early CD penalty fees for withdrawals up to $20,000 (limited to one penalty-free withdrawal per CD account); eliminated all insufficient funds (overdrafts) and returned item fees; eliminated all Pay by Phone fees; waived all late fees; offered the opportunity for monthly mortgage, home equity loan or home equity line payment relief; offered the opportunity to defer unsecured consumer loans or lines of credit and secured consumer loans and lines of credit payments; and offered unsecured personal loans up to $5,000, up to 60 months at 2.95% APR subject to credit approval. ATM access fees were reinitiated on September 19, 2020.

As part of the first round of PPP loans we havehas helped more than 1,7002,900 customers obtain more than $270378 million in loans as of December 31, 2020. We havethrough the PPP and helped customers complete the forgiveness process for approximately $239375 million of PPP loans in the first nine months of 2021. Also, during the first nine months of 2021, we have helped customers obtain approximatelyloans.

The Company had $107532.4 million of new PPP loans under the second round of the PPP. Additionally,with modifications related to COVID-19 during 2020, with $2.2 million and $46.2 million still on deferral as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and provided payment deferrals for approximately 6,6002 borrowers, the majority being consumer indirect loan customers.

Certain reclassifications of previously reported amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not impact net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of goodwill and deferred tax assets, and assumptions used in the defined benefit pension plan accounting.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), who is responsible for regulating the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), announced its intention that it would no longer be necessary to persuade or compel its panel banks to submit LIBOR rates after December 31, 2021. On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the administrator of LIBOR, released the results of its consultation on the cessation timeline for certain LIBOR tenors. In coordination with the IBA, the FCA also confirmed when certain LIBOR tenors will cease to exist. The results of the consultation indicated that certain LIBOR tenors (overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month, and twelve-month USD LIBOR) will be extended to June 30, 2023 to allow some legacy contracts that cannot be easily amended to mature on their current terms. Notwithstanding the extension of certain LIBOR tenors to 2023, banks may no longer offer new LIBOR-based contracts after December 31, 2021. Given that LIBOR is a widely used pricing index for loan and derivative contracts, a Company-wide initiative was introduced to assess all LIBOR exposures through the Company’s loan, deposit, borrowing and derivative categories, while developing a plan for the ultimate cessation of the index. In developing the transition plan, the Company has followed best practice recommendations from the Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rate Committee, our third-party derivative advisor and the Internal Swaps and Derivatives Association. To date, the Company has identified the portion of loan notes that reference LIBOR, which are primarily representative of commercial relationships. Additionally, the Company has 1one designated derivative instrument that is utilized to hedge the LIBOR characteristic of a future dated borrowing (i.e. Federal Home Loan Bank Advance)Advance, Brokered Time Deposits, etc.). In 2015, the Company issued $40 million in fixed to floating rate subordinated notes that currently bear a fixed rate of interest at 6.00% until April 2025, when the rate converts to a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 3.944%; the indenture under which the notes were issued includes language allowing an alternate index to be applied in the event that LIBOR becomes unavailable at the floating rate determination date. At this time, no other borrowing or deposit relationships have been identified that utilize LIBOR as an index.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.Reporting. The ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative rates, such as SOFR. ASU 2020-04 became effective during the first quarter of 2020 and applies to contract modifications and amendments made as of the beginning of the reporting period including the ASU’s issuance date, March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance in 2020 resulted in the application of certain practical expedients, which did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope.Scope. The ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 was effective upon issuance and applies through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the application of certain practical expedients, which did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosures. The ASU updates the accounting and disclosure for troubled debt restructurings. ASU 2022-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those years, with an option to early adopt. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method. The ASU expands the scope in which an entity can apply the portfolio layer method of hedge accounting, allowing for more consistent accounting for similar hedges. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(3.)RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

On July 17, 2020, the Bank announced management’s decision to adapt to a full-service branch model to streamline retail branches to better align with shifting customer needs and preferences. The transformation resulted in 6six branch closures and a reduction in staffing. The announcement was the result of a nine-month comprehensive assessment of all lines of business and functional areas, conducted in partnership with a leading process improvement organization. The data-driven analysis identified, among other things, overlapping service areas, automation opportunities and streamlining of processes and operations that would enhance customer experiences and facilitate the long-term sustainability of current and future branches. The announced consolidations represented about 10ten percent of the branch network and impacted approximately 6six percent of the total Company workforce. Where possible, those impacted were offered alternative roles or the opportunity to apply for open positions in other areas of the Company. Separated associates received a comprehensive severance package based on tenure.

In October 2020, the Company announced the planned closure of 1one additional branch that closed in January 2021. This location was not included in the branch consolidations announced in July 2020, as alternative options were being considered and consolidation was not possible given its significant distance from other Bank branches.

The Company incurred total pre-tax expense related to the branch closures of approximately $1.7 million, including approximately $0.2 million in employee severance, $0.5 million in lease termination costs and $1.0 million in valuation adjustments on branch facilities. The Company recognized allAdditional related restructuring charges of these expenses during 2020. The Company expects $0.81.3 million of total costs will result in future cash expenditures. The Company anticipates annual expense savings of approximately $2.7 millionwere incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of these branch closures.property valuation adjustments to write-down certain real estate assets to fair market value based on existing purchase offers and current market conditions.

Securities Available for Sale

As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, 0no allowance for credit losses has been recognized on available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position as management does not believe any of the securities were impaired due to reasons of credit quality. This is based upon our analysis of the underlying risk characteristics, including credit ratings, and other qualitative factors related to our available for sale securities and in consideration of our historical credit loss experience and internal forecasts. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Furthermore, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale in the table above and believes that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses are due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline.

Securities Held to Maturity

The Company’s HTM investment securities include debt securities that are issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. These securities carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, are widely recognized as “risk free,” and have a long history of zero credit loss. In addition, the Company’s HTM investment securities include debt securities that are issued by state and local government agencies, or municipal bonds.

The Company monitors the credit quality of our municipal bonds through the use of a credit rating agency or by ratings that are derived by an internal scoring model. The scoring methodology for the internally derived ratings is based on a series of financial ratios for the municipality being reviewed as compared to typical industry figures. This information is used to determine the financial strengths and weaknesses of the municipality, which is indicated with a numeric rating. This number is then converted into a letter rating to better match the system used by the credit rating agencies. As of September 30, 2021,2022, $111.094.7 million of our municipal bonds were rated as an equivalent to Standard & Poor’s A/AA/AAA, with $5.86.9 million internally rated to be the equivalent of Standard & Poor’s A/AA/AAA rating.rating, and $0.8 million in non-rated bonds, of which $0.6 million mature in 2022 and $0.2 million mature in 2023. Additionally, no municipal bonds were rated below investment grade. As of December 31, 2020,2021, $135.7105.6 million of our municipal bonds were rated as an equivalent to Standard & Poor’s A/AA/AAA, with $8.55.8 million internally rated to be the equivalent of Standard & Poor’s A/AA/AAA rating. Additionally, one municipal bond was rated below investment grade, with a BB+ Standard & Poor’s equivalent rating. The below investment grade bond represented exposure of $279 thousand, or 0.19% of the municipal bond portfolio and had been closely monitored for repayment.

As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had 0no past due or nonaccrual held to maturity investment securities.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans 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 economic trends, among other factors such as the fair value of collateral. The Company analyzes commercial business and commercial mortgage loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Risk ratings are updated any time the situation warrants. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans that do not meet the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the process described above are considered “uncriticized” or pass-rated loans and are included in groups of homogeneous loans with similar risk and loss characteristics.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends guidance on reporting credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach. Results for the periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net reduction of retained earnings of $8.7 million upon adoption. The transition adjustment includes an increase in credit-related reserves of $9.6 million, $14 thousand, and $2.1 million for loans, held to maturity investment securities and unfunded commitments, respectively, net of the corresponding increase in deferred tax assets of $3.0 million.

The following table sets forth the changes in the allowance for credit losses - loans for the three-three and nine-month periodsnine months ended as of the dates indicatedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

(6.)LOANS (Continued)

Risk Characteristics

Commercial business loans primarily consist of loans to small to mid-sized businesses in our market area in a diverse range of industries. These loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value. The credit risk related to commercial loans is largely influenced by general economic conditions, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on small to mid-sized business in our market area, and the resulting impact on a borrower’s operations or on the value of underlying collateral, if any.

Commercial mortgage loans generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans, potentially resulting in higher potential losses on an individual customer basis. Loan repayment is often dependent on the successful operation and management of the properties, as well as on the collateral securing the loan. Economic events, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on influencing the ability of the tenants to pay rent at these properties, or conditions in the real estate market could have an adverse impact on the cash flows generated by properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate loans and on the value of such properties.

Residential real estate loans (comprised of conventional mortgages and home equity loans) and residential real estate lines (comprised of home equity lines) are generally made based on the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income but are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable. Credit risk for these types of loans is generally influenced by general economic conditions, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the employment income of these borrowers, the characteristics of individual borrowers, and the nature of the loan collateral.

Consumer indirect and other consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans and home equities, particularly in the case of other consumer loans which are unsecured or, in the case of indirect consumer loans, secured by depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by inflation and adverse personal circumstances such as job loss, illness or personal bankruptcy, including the heightened risk that such circumstances may arise as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

(7.)LEASES

ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Company is obligated under a number of non-cancellable operating lease agreements for land, buildings and equipment with terms, including renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised, extending through 2061. NaNTwo building lease wasleases were subleased in 2021 forwith terms that extended through June 30, 2021.December 31, 2022.

(10.)DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities, and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate caps and interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. During the first nine months of 20212022 and in 2020,2021, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with short-term borrowings. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a period of approximately 60 months. As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company had 1one outstanding forward starting interest rate derivative with a notional value of $50.0 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk. The derivative becomesbecame effective in April 2022 at a pay fixed strike price of 0.787% and matures April 2027.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s borrowings. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $1421.2 thousandmillion will be reclassified intoas a decrease to interest expense.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. These interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain one or more of the following provisions: (a) if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations, and (b) if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution, the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

To mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in these rate lock agreements when the Company intends to sell the related loan, once originated, as well as closed residential mortgage loans held for sale, the Company enters into forward commitments to sell individual residential mortgages. Rate lock agreements and forward commitments are considered derivatives and are recorded at fair value.

(13.)SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company maintains certain share-based compensation plans, approved by the Company’s shareholders, that are administered by the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “MD&C Committee”) of the Board. The share-based compensation plans were established to allow for the grant of compensation awards to attract, motivate and retain employees, executive officers and non-employee directors who contribute to the long-term growth and profitability of the Company and to give such persons a proprietary interest in the Company, thereby enhancing their personal interest in the Company’s success.

The Amended and Restated 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan uses metrics that measure the Company's performance on a relative basis against a peer group, which was defined as the SNL Small Cap Bank & Thrift Index. The SNL Small Cap Bank & Thrift Index was discontinued August 7, 2021 and was replaced with the S&P U.S. SmallCap Banks Index. As the award agreements do not contain successor language pertaining to the removal or modification of an index, the MD&C Committee approved the application of the survivorship peer group with the S&P U.S. SmallCap Banks Index used as the basis for measuring relative performance of existing awards.

The MD&C Committee approved the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) shown in the table below to certain members of management during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.2022.

The grant-date fair value for the RSUs and PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 is equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant reduced by the present value of the dividends expected to be paid on the underlying shares.

The Company awarded grants of PSUs to certain members of management during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Fifty percent of the PSUsshares subject to each grant that ultimately vest isare contingent on achieving specified return on average equity (“ROAE”) targets relative to the SNL Small Cap Bank & Thrift Index, a market index the MD&C Committee has selected as a peer group for this purpose. These shares will be earned based on the Company’s achievement of a relative ROAE performance requirement, on a percentile basis, compared to the SNL Small Cap Bank & Thrift Indexmarket index over a three-year performance period ended December 31, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the SNL Small Cap Bank & Thrift Index was delisted and the Company is currently evaluating an alternative market index.ending March 16, 2025. The shares earned based on the achievement of the ROAE performance requirement, if any, will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date assuming the recipient’srecipient's continuous service to the CompanyCompany.. The remaining fifty percent of the PSUs that ultimately vest isare contingent upon achievement of an average return on average assets (“ROAA”("ROAA") performance requirement over a three-year performance period ended December 31, 2023.ending March 16, 2025. The shares earned based on the achievement of the ROAA performance requirement, if any, will vest onof the third anniversary of the grant date assuming the recipient’srecipient's continuous service to the CompanyCompany. If earned at target level, members of management will receive up to 29,324 shares of our common stock in the aggregate..

The grant-date fair values for both the ROAE and the ROAA portions of PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 are equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant reduced by the present value of the dividends expected to be paid on the underlying shares.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued a total of 3,680 shares of common stock in lieu of cash for the annual retainer of 6 non-employee directors and granted a total of 9,350 restricted shares of common stock to non-employee directors, of which 4,670 shares vested immediately and 4,680 shares will vest after completion of a one-year service requirement. The market value of the stock and restricted stock at the close of the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant was $32.06.

The net periodic benefit expense is recorded as a component of salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute, at a minimum, an actuarially determined amount that will satisfy the minimum funding requirements determined under the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has 0no minimum required contribution for the 20212022 fiscal year.

(15.)COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company has financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk established in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk extending beyond amounts recognized in the financial statements.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved with extending loans to customers. The Company uses the same credit underwriting policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for on-balance sheet instruments.

(15.)COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the agreement. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses which may require payment of a fee. Commitments may expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Standby letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Unfunded Commitments

At September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments totaled $1.92.7 million and $3.11.8 million, respectively, and was included in other liabilities on the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,The credit loss expense (benefit) expense for unfunded commitments was $(as follows (in thousands):206) thousand and $461 thousand, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, credit loss (benefit) expense for unfunded commitments was $(1.2) million and $959 thousand, respectively.

Contingent Liabilities and Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, there are various threatened and pending legal proceedings against the Company. Management believes that the aggregate liability, if any, arising from such litigation, except for the matter described below, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 as filed with the SEC on March 15, 202110, 2022 and as disclosed in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we arethe Company is party to an action filed against usit on May 16, 2017 by Matthew L. Chipego, Charlene Mowry, Constance C. Churchill and Joseph W. Ewing in the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Plaintiffs sought class certification to represent classes of consumers in New York and Pennsylvania along with statutory damages, interest and declaratory relief. The plaintiffs sought to represent a putative class of consumers who are alleged to have obtained direct or indirect financing from usthe Company for the purchase of vehicles that wethe Company later repossessed. The plaintiffs specifically claim that the notices the Bank sent to defaulting consumers after their vehicles were repossessed did not comply with the relevant portions of the Uniform Commercial Code in New York and Pennsylvania. We disputeThe Company disputes and believe we havebelieves it has meritorious defenses against these claims and planplans to vigorously defend ourselves.itself.

On September 30, 2021, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and certified four different classes (two classes of New York consumers and two classes of Pennsylvania consumers). We estimate there may beThere are approximately 5,200 members in the New York classes and 300 members in the Pennsylvania classes. WeOn December 20, 2021, the Company filed a request for an interlocutory appeal of the denial of its motion to dismiss the case for lack of standing. On February 8, 2022, plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgement for most of the relief they seek. The Company filed a cross motion for partial summary judgement seeking permission to appealthe dismissal of a portion of the class certification rulingand sought an offset in the form of recoupment which reduces any liability that may be imposed against the Company by the amounts that the borrowers owe to the Bank for failing to repay their motor vehicle loans. In addition, on April 25, 2022, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court declared unconstitutional a statute on which the Court may have based jurisdiction in this case. Therefore, on June 27, 2022, the Company filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's June 5, 2018 decision overruling the Company's preliminary objections based on lack of personal jurisdiction as to the New York plaintiffs. Plaintiffs have responded to that motion claiming an alternative basis for jurisdiction.

On September 26, 2022, the lower Court denied both plaintiffs’ and defendants’ motions for partial summary judgment. In declining to grant Plaintiffs’ motion, the Court found that there were questions of fact as to whether the members of the class had purchased the subject vehicles for “consumer use” within the meaning of the relevant statutes. Defendants’ motion for summary judgment on the recoupment was denied because the Court determined that it could not enter a judgment on recoupment – which is a set off from liability – without first determining whether there was liability.

On October 4, 2022, the Parties agreed to a sixty (60) day stay of all deadlines in the case in order to pursue mediation. On October 7, 2022, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania granted the Company’s December 20, 2021 Request for an Interlocutory Appeal. As such, the case is now stayed until the appeal is briefed and a staydecided by the Superior Court. No briefing schedule has yet been established for the appeal. In addition to the pending appeal, the parties are in the process of proceedings pending any such appeal. We also filed a motionexploring non-binding mediation to dismisspotentially resolve some or all of the action for lack of standing. We haveissues in the matter.

The Company has not accrued a contingent liability for this matter at this time because, given ourits defenses, we areit is unable to conclude whether a liability is reasonably probable to occur nor are weis it able to currently reasonably estimate the amount of potential loss.

If we settle these claims or the action is not resolved in our favor, we may suffer reputational damage and incur legal costs, settlements or judgments that exceed the amounts covered by our existing insurance policies. We can provide no assurances that our insurer will insure the legal costs, settlements or judgments we incur in excess of our deductible. If we are unsuccessful in defending ourselves from these claims or if our insurer does not insure us against legal costs we incur in excess of our deductible, the result may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If the Company settles these claims or the action is not resolved in its favor, the Company may suffer reputational damage and incur legal costs, settlements or judgments that exceed the amounts covered by its insurer. The Company can provide no assurances that its insurer will cover the full legal costs, settlements or judgments it incurs.

(16.)FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Determination of Fair Value – Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis

Valuation Hierarchy

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. There have been no changes in the valuation techniques used during the current period. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recorded as of the end of the reporting period.

(16.)FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. A more detailed description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Securities available for sale: Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Derivative instruments: The fair value of derivative instruments is determined using quoted secondary market prices for similar financial instruments and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary market prices and investor commitments. Loans held for sale are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

(16.) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Collateral dependent loans: Fair value of collateral dependent loans with specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses – loans is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable and collateral value is determined based on appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business. Such discounts are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Collateral dependent loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.

Long-lived assets held for sale: The fair value of the long-lived assets held for sale was based on estimated market prices from independently prepared current appraisals and are classified as Level 23 in the fair value hierarchy.

Loan servicing rights: Loan servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable market data. As a result, the Company estimates the fair value of loan servicing rights by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model are those that we believemanagement believes market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of loan prepayment rates, servicing costs, ancillary income, impound account balances, and discount rates. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s loan servicing rights are the constant prepayment rates and weighted average discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Although the constant prepayment rate and the discount rate are not directly interrelated, they will generally move in opposite directions. Loan servicing rights are classified as Level 3 measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, as well as significant management judgment and estimation.

Other real estate owned (foreclosed assets): Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. The appraisals are sometimes further discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Such discounts are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit: Commitments to extend credit and fund letters of credit are principally at current interest rates, and, therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of commitments is not material.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The assumptions used below are expected to approximate those that market participants would use in valuing these financial instruments.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including estimates of timing, amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer. Such estimates do not consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In some cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about our business, its value or financial position based on the fair value information of financial instruments presented below.

The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) stock, accrued interest receivable, non-maturity deposits, short-term borrowings and accrued interest payable.

The following presents (in thousands) the carrying amount, estimated fair value, and placement in the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of the dates indicated.

(17.)SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has 1one reportable segment, Banking, which includes all of the company’sCompany’s retail and commercial banking operations. This reportable segment has been identified and organized based on the nature of the underlying products and services applicable to the segment, the type of customers to whom those products and services are offered and the distribution channel through which those products and services are made available.

All other segments that do not meet the quantitative threshold for separate reporting have been grouped as “All Other.” This “All Other” grouping includes the activities of SDN, a full-service insurance agency that provides a broad range of insurance services to both personal and business clients, and Courier Capital and HNP Capital, our investment advisor and wealth management firms that provide customized investment management, investment consulting and retirement plan services to individuals, businesses, institutions, foundations and retirement plans, and Holding Company amounts, which are the primary differences between segment amounts and consolidated totals, along with amounts to eliminate balances and transactions between segments.

GENERAL

The Parent is a financial holding company headquartered in New York State, providing diversified financial services through its operating subsidiaries, Five Star Bank (the “Bank”), SDN Insurance Agency, LLC (“SDN”), Courier Capital, LLC (“Courier Capital”) and HNP Capital, LLC (“HNP Capital”). The Company offers a broad array of deposit, lending and other financial services to individuals, municipalities and businesses in Western and Central New York through its wholly-owned New York-chartered banking subsidiary, the Bank. OurThe Bank also has a commercial loan production office in Ellicott City (Baltimore), Maryland, and our indirect lending network includes relationships with franchised automobile dealers in Western and Central New York, the Capital District of New York and Northern and Central Pennsylvania. SDN provides a broad range of insurance services to personal and business clients. Courier Capital and HNP Capital provide customized investment advice, wealth management, investment consulting and retirement plan services to individuals, businesses, institutions, foundations and retirement plans.

Our primary sources of revenue are net interest income (interest earned on our loans and securities, net of interest paid on deposits and other funding sources) and noninterest income, particularly fees and other revenue from insurance, investment advisory and financial services provided to customers or ancillary services tied to loans and deposits. Business volumes and pricing drive revenue potential, and tend to be influenced by overall economic factors, including market interest rates, business spending, consumer confidence, economic growth, and competitive conditions within the marketplace. We are not able to predict market interest rate fluctuations with certainty and our asset/liability management strategy may not prevent interest rate changes from having a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Our business strategy has been to maintain a community bank philosophy, which consists of focusing on and understanding the individualized banking and other financial needs of individuals, municipalities and businesses of the local communities surrounding our primary service area. We believe this focus allows us to be more responsive to our customers’ needs and provide a high level of personal service that differentiates us from larger competitors, resulting in long-standing and broad-based banking relationships. Our core customers are primarily small- to medium-sized businesses, individuals and community organizations who prefer to build banking, insurance and wealth management relationships with a community bank that combines high quality, competitively-priced products and services with personalized service. Because of our identity and origin as a locally operated bank, we believe that our level of personal service provides a competitive advantage over larger banks, which tend to consolidate decision-making authority outside local communities.

A key aspect of our current business strategy is to foster a community-oriented culture where our customers and employees establish long-standing and mutually beneficial relationships. We believe that we are well-positioned to be a strong competitor within our market area because of our focus on community banking needs and customer service, our comprehensive suite of deposit, loan, insurance and wealth management products typically found at larger banks, our highly experienced management team and our strategically located banking centers.

We have evolved to meet changing customer needs by opening what we refer to as financial solution center branches. These financial solution center branches have a smaller footprint than our traditional branches, focus on technology to provide solutions that fit our customer preferences for transacting business with us, and these branches are staffed by certified personal bankers who are trained to meet a broad array of customer needs. In recent years, we have opened four financial solution centers in the Rochester and Buffalo markets. We believe that the foregoing factors all help to grow our core deposits, which supports a central element of our business strategy - the growth of a diversified and high-quality loan portfolio.

Operational, Accounting and Reporting Impacts Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, including our operating footprint of Western and Central New York. In response to this crisis, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided an estimated $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the economy by supporting individuals and businesses through loans, grants, tax changes, and other types of relief. Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to:

Accounting for Loan Modifications - The CARES Act provided that a financial institution may elect to suspend (1) the application of GAAP for certain loan modifications related to COVID-19 made between March 1, 2020 and January 1, 2022 that would otherwise be categorized as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) and (2) any determination that such loan modifications would be considered a TDR, including the related impairment for accounting purposes.
Paycheck Protection Program - The CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), an expansion of the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) 7(a) loan program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (“EIDL”), administered directly by the SBA. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 provided approximately $284 billion for PPP loans in an additional round of funding under the program and extended the PPP through March 31, 2021. This additional round of PPP loan funding iswas authorized for first-time borrowers and for second draws befor certain borrowers who have previously received PPP loans. On March 30, 2021, the PPP Extension Act of 2021 was signed into law, which extended the program to May 31, 2021.
Mortgage Forbearance - Under the CARES Act, a borrower with a federally backed mortgage loan that was experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 was able to request a forbearance until September 30,December 31, 2021.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Also, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the National Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), in consultation with the state financial regulators (collectively, the “agencies”) issued a joint interagency statement (issued March 22, 2020; revised statement issued April 7, 2020). Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to:

Accounting for Loan Modifications - Loan modifications that do not meet the conditions of the CARES Act may still qualify as a modification that does not need to be accounted for as a TDR. The agencies confirmed with FASB staff that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or insignificant delays in payment.
Past Due Reporting - With regard to loans not otherwise reportable as past due, financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral. A loan’s payment date is governed by the due date stipulated in the legal agreement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is our primary source of revenue, comprising 76%77% and 78% of revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.2022, respectively. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowings used to fund interest-earning and other assets or activities. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates and by the amount and composition of earninginterest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the sensitivity of the balance sheet to changes in interest rates, including characteristics such as the fixed or variable nature of the financial instruments, contractual maturities and repricing frequencies.

We use interest rate spread and net interest margin to measure and explain changes in net interest income. Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield on earninginterest-earning assets and the rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities that fund those assets. The net interest margin is expressed as the percentage of net interest income to average earning assets. The net interest margin exceeds the interest rate spread because noninterest-bearing sources of funds (“net free funds”), principally noninterest-bearing demand deposits and shareholders’ equity, also support earning assets. To compare tax-exempt asset yields to taxable yields, the yield on tax-exempt investment securities is computed on a taxable equivalent basis. Net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin are discussed on a taxable equivalent basis.

Average interest-earning assets were $5.23 billion for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $4.97 billion for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $4.41 billion for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $553.0$264.0 million, or 13%5%, from the comparable quarter last year, with average loanssecurities up $110.1$191.9 million from $3.52$1.18 billion to $3.63 billion and average securities up $407.6 million from $769.7 million to $1.18 billion. The growth in average loans reflected increases in our commercial and consumer indirect loan categories. Commercial loans were up $42.5 million from $1.99 billion to $2.03 billion, or 2%, from the third quarter of 2020. The average balances of PPP loans net of deferred fees, which are included in commercial loans, were $141.3 million and $263.0 million infor the third quarter of 2021 to $1.37 billion for the third quarter of 2022 and 2020, respectively.

Securities represented 26.2% of average interest-earning assets during the third quarter of 20212022 compared to 79.8%23.7% during the third quarter of 2020.2021. The increase in average investment securities was due to the redeployment of excess liquidity intended to benefit interest income with the intent of reducing net interest margin compression relative to interest earned on federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits. Loans comprised 73.0% of average interest-earning assets during the third quarter of 2022 compared to 73.1% during the third quarter of 2021. The increase in average loans was primarily due to organic growth in commercial mortgages, bolstered by our February 2022 expansion into the Baltimore and Washington D.C. region. Loans generally have significantly higher yields compared to securities and federal funds sold andother interest-earning depositsassets and, as such, have a more positive effect on the net interest margin.

Analysis of Net Interest Income for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $114.4 million, an increase of $10.9 million versus the comparable period last year of $103.5 million. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to increases in deferred fee amortization on PPP loans of $3.8 million, which included accelerated amortization of fees on PPP loans paid-off through the forgiveness process, increases in average loans and average investment securities of $259.4 million, or 8%, and $278.5 million, or 36%, respectively, compared to the first nine months of 2020, and a decrease in interest expense of $8.7 million. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a favorable shift in deposit categories, with a lower allocation of time deposits, coupled with a lower interest-bearing cost of funds. Average PPP loans, net of deferred fees were $206.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $147.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The net interest margin for the first nine months of 2021 was 3.14%, eleven-basis points lower than 3.25% for the same period in 2020. This comparable period decrease was a function of a nine-basis point lower contribution from net free funds, and a two-basis point decrease in interest rate spread. The lower interest rate spread was a result of a 43-basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets and a 41-basis point decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities.

For the first nine months of 2021, the yield on average earning assets of 3.40% was 43-basis points lower than the first nine months of 2020 of 3.83%. Loan yields decreased 23-basis points during the first nine months of 2021 to 4.02% from 4.25%. The yield on investment securities decreased 61-basis points during the first nine months of 2021 to 1.79% from 2.40%. Overall, a favorable volume variance increased interest income by $12.1 million during the first nine months of 2021, while the earning asset rate changes decreased interest income by $9.9 million, which collectively drove a $2.1 million increase in interest income.

Average interest-earning assets were $4.87 billion for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $4.25 billion for the first nine months of 2020, an increase of $623.3 million, or 15%, from the comparable period last year, with average loans up $259.4 million from $3.38 billion to $3.64 billion and average securities up $278.5 million from $772.1 million to $1.05 billion. The growth in average loans reflected increases in most loan categories. Commercial loans, in particular, were up $218.1 million from $1.85 billion to $2.07 billion, or 12%, from the first nine months of 2020. The average balances of PPP loans net of deferred fees, which are included in commercial loans, were $206.9 million and $147.0 million in the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Residential real estate loans were up $12.2 million, or 2%, partially offset by a decrease of $15.7 million, or 16%, in residential real estate lines. Consumer indirect loans increased by $45.2 million, or 5%, and other consumer loans decreased by $283 thousand, or 2%. Loans represented 74.8% of average interest-earning assets during the first nine months of 2021 compared to 79.7% during the first nine months of 2020. Loans generally have significantly higher yields compared to securities and federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits and, as such, have a more positive effect on the net interest margin. The yield on average loans was 4.02% for the first nine months of 2021, a decrease of 23-basis points compared to 4.25% for first nine months of 2020. An increase in the volume of average loans resulted in an $8.1 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $6.1 million decrease due to the unfavorable rate variance. Securities represented 21.6% of average interest-earning assets during first nine months of 2021 compared to 18.2% during the first nine months of 2020. The increase in investment securities is due to the redeployment of excess liquidity intended to benefit interest income. An increase in the volume of investment securities resulted in a $3.8 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $3.6 million decrease due to the unfavorable rate variance.

The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities of 0.36% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to 0.77% in the first nine months of 2020 was 41-basis points lower and the cost of average interest-bearing deposits decreased 42-basis points from 0.66% to 0.24%. Average short-term borrowings decreased $112.1 million from $112.5 million to $388 thousand in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. The decrease in average short-term borrowings was a result of the Company’s decision to utilize brokered deposits as a cost-effective alternative to Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. The cost of long-term borrowings for the first nine months of 2021 decreased 55-basis points from 6.30% to 5.75% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. Overall, interest-bearing liability rate and volume decreases resulted in $8.7 million of lower interest expense.

Analysis of Net Interest Income for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $124.6 million, an increase of $10.3 million versus the comparable period in 2021 of $114.4 million. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average investment securities of $351.0 million, or 33.4%, and an increase in average loans of $120.5 million, or 3.3%, as well as the impact of interest rate increases in 2022 having a positive impact on yields. The increases in interest income were partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $4.5 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of continued repricing of time deposits at higher rates throughout 2021 and into 2022. Average PPP loans, net of deferred fees were $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $206.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Revenue related to PPP loans was $4.9 million lower in the first nine months of 2021, primarily due to the overall lower interest rate market conditions. Average borrowings decreased $77.6 million from $151.7 million to $74.1 million compared to2022 than the first nine months of 2020.2021. PPP loan balances are significantly lower in 2022 as a result of loan forgiveness and repayment.

Our net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 3.19%, 5 basis points higher than 3.14% for the same period in 2021. This comparable period increase was a combination of a three basis points increase in the interest rate spread and a two basis point increase in the contribution of interest-free funds. The higher interest rate spread was a result of a 15 basis points increase in the average yield on average interest-earning assets and a 12 basis points increase in the average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the average yield on average interest earning assets of 3.55% was 15-basis points higher than the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of 3.40%. The average yield on loans increased 23-basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, to 4.25% from 4.02% for the comparable period last year. The average yield on investment securities remained consistent at 1.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Overall, shortvolume variances in average interest-earning assets and long-term borrowingaverage interest-bearing liabilities increased net interest income by $7.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the impact of the interest rate increases in 2022 had an overall positive impact on yields, contributing another $3.3 million to interest income.

Average interest-earning assets were $5.22 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4.87 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $343.9 million, or 7.1%, with average loans up $120.5 million from $3.64 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $3.76 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and average securities up $351.0 million from $1.05 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $1.40 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Securities represented 26.9% of average interest-earning assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 21.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in investment securities was due to the redeployment of excess liquidity intended to benefit interest income with the intent of reducing net interest margin compression versus federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits. Loans comprised 72.2% of average interest-earning assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 74.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in average loans was primarily due to organic growth in commercial mortgages, bolstered by our expansion into the Baltimore and Washington D.C. region, as well as organic growth in consumer indirect, partially offset by decreases in commercial business loans, primarily due to lower PPP loan balances in 2022.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following table presents, on a tax-equivalent basis, the relative contribution of changes in volumes and changes in rates to changes in net interest income for the periods indicated. The change in interest income not solely due to changes in volume or rate has been allocated in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each (in thousands):. No out-of-period adjustments were included in the rate/volume analysis.

ProvisionProvision/Benefit for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were benefits of $541 thousand2022 was $4.3 million and $7.1$7.2 million, respectively, compared to provisionsa benefit for credit losses of $4.0$0.5 million and $21.7$7.1 million for the corresponding periods in 2020.2021. During the second quarter of 2022 we recorded a $2.0 million recovery in connection with the pay-off of a commercial loan that was downgraded to non-performing status with a partial charge-off in the second quarter of 2021. Loan loss provision returned to a more normalized level in 2022 due to the impact of an increase in the national unemployment forecast and qualitative factors reflecting economic uncertainty associated with higher interest rates and global political unrest, partially offset by a reduction in overall specific reserve levels. The benefits in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 were due to continued improvement in the national unemployment forecast following the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the designated loss driver for our current expected credit loss (“CECL”("CECL") model, and positive trends in qualitative factors, and a relatively low level of net charge-offs, resulting in releasesa release of credit loss reserves. The provisions in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 were driven by the adoption of the CECL standard and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economic environment. The provision for credit losses - loans varies based primarily on forecasted unemployment rates, loan growth, net charge-offs, collateral values associated with collateral dependent loans and qualitative factors.

See the “Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans” and “Non-Performing Assets and Potential Problem Loans” sections of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis for further discussion.

The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total noninterest expense by net revenue, defined as the sum of tax-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income before net gains on investment securities. An increase in the efficiency ratio indicates that more resources are being utilized to generate the same volume of income, while a decrease indicates a more efficient allocation of resources. The efficiency ratio, a banking industry financial measure, is not required by GAAP. However, the efficiency ratio is used by management in its assessment of financial performance specifically as it relates to noninterest expense control.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

TheOur available for sale (“AFS”) investment securities portfolio increased $469.9decreased $35.4 million from $628.1 million at December 31, 20202021 to $1.10 billion at September 30, 2021. The increase from year-end 2020 was primarily due2022. Our primary investment strategy for the past several quarters has been to the deployment ofdeploy excess liquidity into cash flowing agency backed securities.mortgage-backed securities, reallocating excess Federal Reserve cash balances into securities demonstrating higher yields; however, activity has slowed as a portion of the cash flow from the portfolio was utilized to fund loan originations during 2022. The AFS portfolio had a net unrealized loss of $1.0$183.9 million at September 30, 20212022 and a net unrealized gain of $20.4$6.3 million at December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The decline in the portfolio balance was largely driven by a decrease in the market value of the portfolio, due to rising interest rates. The fair value of most of the investment securities in the AFS portfolio fluctuates as market interest rates change.

Security Yields and Maturities Schedule

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the amortized cost (“Cost”), weighted average yields (“Yield”) and contractual maturities of our debt securities portfolio as of September 30, 2021.2022. In this table, Yield is defined as the book yield weighted against the ending book value. Mortgage-backed securities are included in maturity categories based on their stated maturity date. Actual maturities may differ from the contractual maturities presented because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay certain investments. No tax-equivalent adjustments were made to the weighted average yields (dollars in thousands).

Impairment Assessment

For AFS securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether (i) we intend to sell, or (ii) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either case is affirmative, any previously recognized allowances are charged-off and the security's amortized cost is written down to fair value through income. If neither case is affirmative, the security is evaluated to determine 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 any 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 allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Adjustments to the allowance are reported in our income statement as a component of credit loss expense. AFS securities are charged-off against the allowance or, in the absence of any allowance, written down through income when deemed uncollectible by management or when either of the aforementioned criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. For the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 no allowance for credit losses has been recognized on AFS securities in an unrealized loss position as management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality.

The decreaseincrease was due to a decrease of $131.3 million in PPP loans, net of deferred fees, from $248.0 million at December 31, 2020 to $116.7 million at September 30, 2021. The decrease in commercial loans was partially offset by an increase in commercial mortgage loans and commercial business loans, excluding PPP loans, of $94.7 million and $23.3 million, respectively, primarily as a result of our continued commercial business development efforts. PPP loans, net of deferred fees, were $2.8 million and $55.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are included in our commercial business loans. PPP loan balances were significantly lower in 2022 as a result of the PPP loan forgiveness and repayment. We expect the PPP loan balances will continue to decline as loans are forgiven by the SBA.

estimate. The allowance for credit losses for Pooled Loanspooled loans estimate is based upon periodic review of the collectability of the loans quantitatively correlating historical loan experience with reasonable and supportable forecasts using forward looking information. Adjustments to the quantitative evaluation may be made for differences in current or expected qualitative risk characteristics such as changes in: underwriting standards, delinquency level, regulatory environment, economic condition, Company management and the status of portfolio administration including the Company’s Loan Review function. The Company establishes a specific reserve for individually evaluated loans which do not share similar risk characteristics with the loans included in the forecasted allowance for credit losses. These individually evaluated loans are removed from the pooling approach discussed above for the forecasted allowance for credit losses, and include nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), and other loans deemed appropriate by management, collectively referred to as collateral dependent loans. See Note 6,6. Loans of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further details on collateral dependent loans.

Assessing the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses - loans involves substantial uncertainties and is based upon management’s evaluation of the amounts required to meet estimated charge-offs in the loan portfolio after weighing a variety of factors, including the risk profile of our loan products and customers.

The adequacy of the allowance for credit losses - loans is subject to ongoing management review. While management evaluates currently available information in establishing the allowance for credit losses - loans, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their

Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and foreclosed assets. Non-performing assets at September 30, 20212022 were $6.7$8.5 million, a decrease of $5.8$3.6 million from the $12.5$12.2 million balance at December 31, 2020.2021. The decrease in non-performing assets related primarily to the pay-off of a nonaccrual commercial mortgage that resulted in the $2.0 million recovery noted previously. The primary component of non-performing assets is non-performing loans, which were $6.7$8.5 million or 0.12%0.22% of total loans at September 30, 2021, compared with $9.52022, down from $12.2 million or 0.26%0.33% of total loans at December 31, 2020.2021 primarily due to pay-downs or payments received and applied to principal for the non-performing loans.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Approximately $2.2$2.4 million, or 33%28%, of the $6.7$8.5 million in non-performing loans as of September 30, 20212022 were current with respect to payment of principal and interest but were classified as non-accruing because repayment in full of principal and/or interest was uncertain. We had no TDRs included in nonaccrual loans at September 30, 20212022 and $200 thousand at December 31, 2020. There2021. Additionally, there were no TDRs accruing interest as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

Foreclosed assets consist of real property formerly pledged as collateral for loans, which we have acquired through foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. We had no properties representing foreclosed asset holdings at September 30, 20212022 and two properties totaling $3.0 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in forecl2021.osed assets during the first nine months of 2021 was primarily the result of the sale of an asset on which foreclosure occurred in the third quarter of 2020. The borrower’s business was related to the hospitality industry and the downgrade and partial charge-off in the first quarter of 2020 were precipitated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Potential problem loans are loans that are currently performing, but information known about possible credit problems of the borrowers causes us to have concern as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan payment terms and may result in disclosure of such loans as nonperforming at some time in the future. These loans remain in a performing status due to a variety of factors, including payment history, the value of collateral supporting the credits, and/or personal or government guarantees. We consider loans classified as substandard, which continue to accrue interest, to be potential problem loans. We identified $30.9$25.8 million and $17.9$22.7 million in loans that continued to accrue interest which were classified as substandard as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of uninsured deposits (deposits in amounts greater than $250,000, which is the maximum amount for federal deposit insurance) was $1.35 billion and $1.29 billion, respectively. The portion of our time deposits by account that were in excess of the FDIC insurance limit was $172.4 million and $182.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The maturities of our uninsured time deposits at September 30, 2022 were as follows: $70.8 million in three months or less; $14.7 million between three months and six months; $84.2 million between six months and one year; and $2.7 million over one year.

We offer a variety of deposit products designed to attract and retain customers, with the primary focus on building and expanding long-term relationships. At September 30, 2021,2022, total deposits were $4.97$4.91 billion, representing an increase of $696.6$78.1 million from December 31, 2020.2021. The increase was due to growth in non-public, public non-public demand and brokered deposits, partially offset by lower reciprocal deposits. Time deposits were approximately 19%21% and 21%19% of total deposits at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

NonpublicNon-public deposits, the largest component of our funding sources, totaled $2.73$2.79 billion and $2.55$2.70 billion at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, and represented 55%57% and 60%56% of total deposits as of the end of each period,date, respectively. We have managed this segment of funding through a strategy of competitive pricing that minimizes the number of customer relationships that have only a single service high costhigh-cost deposit account.

As an additional source of funding, we offer a variety of public (municipal) deposit products to the towns, villages, counties and school districts within our market.market area. Public deposits generally range from 20% to 30% of our total deposits. There is a high degree of seasonality in this component of funding, because the level of deposits varies with the seasonal cash flows for these public customers. We maintain the necessary levels of short-term liquid assets to accommodate the seasonality associated with public deposits. Total public deposits were $1.19$1.14 billion and $834.9 million$1.10 billion at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, and represented 24% and 20%23% of total deposits as of the end of each period, respectively.date. The increase in public deposits duringas of September 30, 2022 in comparison to December 31, 2021 was due largely to seasonality.

We also participate in reciprocal deposit programs, which enable depositors to receive FDIC insurance coverage for deposits otherwise exceeding the maximum insurable amount. Through these programs, deposits in excess of the maximum insurable amount are placed with multiple participating financial institutions. Prior to the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (“EGRRCPA”) enacted on May 14, 2018, all reciprocal deposits were considered brokered deposits for regulatory reporting purposes. With the enactment of EGRRCPA, reciprocal deposits, subject to certain restrictions, are no longer required to be reported as brokered deposits. Reciprocal deposits totaled $806.5$697.5 million at September 30, 2021,2022, compared to $612.3$771.4 million at December 31, 2020.2021, as customers have been withdrawing funds from the program to re-balance operating accounts. Reciprocal deposits represented 16%14% and 14%16% of total deposits as of the end of each period,date, respectively.

Brokered deposits totaled $254.8$276.8 million and $279.6$254.7 million at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, and represented 5%6% and 7%5% of total deposits as of the end of each period,date, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Short-term Borrowings

Short-term Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings have original maturities of less than one year and include overnight borrowings which we typically utilize to address short term funding needs as they arise. We had no short-termShort-term FHLB borrowings at September 30, 20212022 and no amount of short-term FHLB borrowings outstanding at any month-end during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Short-term FHLB borrowings at December 31, 20202021 consisted of $5.3$69.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively, in short-term borrowings. The decline in short-term borrowings at September 30, 2021, was the result of the Company’s decision to utilize brokered deposits as a cost-effective alternative to FHLB borrowings. Short-term borrowings and brokered deposits have historically been utilized to manage the seasonality of public deposits.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

the short-term borrowings balance at September 30, 2022 is designated as a cash-flow hedge, which became effective in April 2022, at a fixed rate of 0.79%.

We have credit capacity with the FHLB and can borrow through facilities that include amortizing and term advances or repurchase agreements. We had approximately $206.1$268.9 million of immediate credit capacity with the FHLB as of September 30, 2021.2022. We had approximately $601.8$587.3 million in secured borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) discount window, none of which was outstanding at September 30, 2021.2022. The FHLB and FRB credit capacity are collateralized by securities from our investment portfolio and certain qualifying loans. We had approximately $130.0$120.0 million and $145.0$130.0 million of credit available under unsecured federal funds purchased lines with various banks as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. Additionally, we had approximately $454.9$545.1 million of unencumbered liquid securities available for pledging.pledging at September 30, 2022.

The Parent has a revolving line of credit with a commercial bank allowing borrowings up to $20.0 million in total as an additional source of working capital. At September 30, 2021,2022, no amounts have been drawn on the line of credit.

Long-term Borrowings

On October 7, 2020, we completed a private placement of $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes to qualified institutional buyers and accredited institutional investors that were subsequently exchanged for subordinated notes with substantially the same terms (the “2020 Notes”) registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2020 Notes have a maturity date of October 15, 2030 and bear interest, payable semi-annually, at the rate of 4.375% per annum, until October 15, 2025. Commencing on that date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month SOFR plus 4.265%, payable quarterly until maturity. The 2020 Notes are redeemable by us, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after October 15, 2025, and we may redeem the Notes in whole at any time upon certain other specified events. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, organic growth and to support regulatory capital ratios at Five Star Bank. Proceeds, net of debt issuance costs of $740 thousand, were $34.3 million. The 2020 Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

On April 15, 2015, we issued $40.0 million of subordinated notes (the “2015 Notes”) in a registered public offering. The 2015 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.0% per year, payable semi-annually, for the first 10 years. From April 15, 2025 to the April 15, 2030 maturity date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an annual interest rate equal to the then-current three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.944%, payable quarterly. After the discontinuance of LIBOR, the interest rate will be determined by an alternate method as reasonably selected by the Company. The 2015 Notes are redeemable by us at any quarterly interest payment date beginning on April 15, 2025 to maturity at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Proceeds, net of debt issuance costs of $1.1 million, were $38.9 million. The 2015 Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Liquidity

We continue to actively monitor our liquidity profile and funding concentrations in accordance with our Board approved Liquidity Policy. While funding pressures have not occurred, management is actively monitoring customer activity by way of commercial and consumer line of credit utilization, as well as deposit flows. As of September 30, 2021,2022, all structural liquidity ratios and early warning indicators remain in compliance, with what we believe are ample funding sources available in the event of a stress scenario.

The objective of maintaining adequate liquidity is to assure that we meet our financial obligations. These obligations include the withdrawal of deposits on demand or at their contractual maturity, the repayment of matured borrowings, the ability to fund new and existing loan commitments and the ability to take advantage of new business opportunities. We achieve liquidity by maintaining a strong base of both core customer funds and maturing short-term assets; we also rely on our ability to sell or pledge securities and lines-of-credit and our overall ability to access to the financial and capital markets.

Liquidity for the Bank is managed through the monitoring of anticipated changes in loans, the investment portfolio, deposits and wholesale funds. The strength of the Bank’s liquidity position is a result of its base of core customer deposits. These core deposits are supplemented by wholesale funding sources that include credit lines with other banking institutions, the FHLB, the FRB and brokered deposit relationships. The primary source of our non-deposit short-term borrowings is FHLB advances, of which we had $0$69.0 million outstanding at September 30, 2021 due to the excess liquidity position sustained as a result of continued growth and seasonal inflows of public deposits. 2022. In addition to this amount, we have additional collateralized wholesale borrowing capacity of approximately $937.9$976.2 million as of September 30, 2022 from various funding sources which include the FHLB, the FRB and commercial banks that we can use to fund lending activities, liquidity needs, and/or to adjust and manage our asset and liability position.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Parent’s funding requirements consist primarily of dividends to shareholders, debt service, income taxes, operating expenses, funding of non-bank subsidiaries, repurchases of our stock, and acquisitions. The Parent obtains funding to meet obligations from dividends received from the Bank, net taxes collected from subsidiaries included in the federal consolidated tax return, and the issuance of debt and equity securities. In addition, the Parent maintains a revolving line of credit with a commercial bank for an aggregate amount of up to $20.0 million, all of which was available at September 30, 2021.2022. The line of credit has a one-year term and matures in May 2022.2023. Funds drawn would be used for general corporate purposes and backup liquidity.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Cash and cash equivalents were $288.4$118.6 million as of September 30, 2021,2022, up $194.5$39.5 million from $93.9$79.1 million as of DecemberDecember 31, 2020.2021. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $39.5$117.4 million and the principal source of operating activity cash flow was net income adjusted for noncash income and expense items.items and an increase in other liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $516.4$165.5 million, which included outflows of $59.8$189.3 million for net loan originations, and $430.2$10.0 million from net purchases of company owned life insurance, and $5.6 in million purchases of premises and equipment, partially offset by $39.4 million net cash provided from investment securities transactions.securities. Net cash provided by financing activities of $516.4$87.5 million was attributed to a $696.6$78.0 million net increase in deposits, and a $39.0 million net increase in short-term borrowings, partially offset by a $5.3 million decrease in short-term borrowings, $6.0$15.3 million in common stock repurchases and $13.8$14.2 million in dividend payments. The increase in the period end cash balance was due to growth in public, non-public demand and reciprocal deposits.

Capital Management

We actively manage capital, commensurate with our risk profile, to enhance shareholder value. We also seek to maintain capital levels for the Company and the Bank at amounts in excess of the regulatory “well-capitalized” thresholds. Periodically, we may respond to market conditions by implementing changes to our overall balance sheet positioning to manage our capital position.

Banks and financial holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

Shareholders’ equity was $494.0$394.0 million at September 30, 2021, an increase2022, a decrease of $25.7$111.1 million from $468.4$505.1 million at December 31, 2020.2021. Accumulated other comprehensive loss included in shareholders’ equity increased $128.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due primarily to increased net unrealized losses on securities available for sale as a result of the increase in market interest rates. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 increased shareholders’ equity by $58.1$44.5 million, offset by common and preferred stock dividends declared of $13.9$14.4 million. Accumulated other comprehensive loss included in shareholders’ equity increased $14.2 million during the first nine months of 2021 due primarily to lower net unrealized gains on securities available for sale.

The FRB and FDIC have adopted a system using risk-based capital guidelines to evaluate the capital adequacy of banks and bank holding companies. As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company’s capital levels remained characterized as “well-capitalized” under the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s (“BCBS”) capital guidelines for U.S. banks.

We have elected to apply the 2020 CECL transition provision related to the impact of the CECL accounting standard on regulatory capital, as provided by the US banking agencies’ March 2020 interim final rule. Under the 2020 CECL transition provision, the regulatory capital impact of the Day 1 adjustment to the allowance for credit losses (after-tax) upon the January 1, 2020 CECL adoption date has been deferred, and willhas begun to phase in tointo regulatory capital at 25% per year commencing January 1, 2022. For the ongoing impact of CECL, we arewere allowed to defer the regulatory capital impact of the allowance for credit losses in an amount equal to 25% of the change in the allowance for credit losses (pre-tax) recognized through earnings for each period between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021. The cumulative adjustment to the allowance for credit losses between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021, will also began to phase in tointo regulatory capital at 25% per year commencing January 1, 2022.

Basel III Capital Rules

Under the Basel III Capital Rules, the current minimum capital ratios, including an additional capital conservation buffer applicable to the Company and the Bank, are:

7.0% CET1 to risk-weighted assets;
8.5% Tier 1 capital (that is, CET1 plus Additional Tier 1 capital) to risk-weighted assets; and
10.5% Total capital (that is, Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets.

Banking institutions with a capital conservation buffer below the minimum level will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. The Basel III Capital Rules also provide for a “countercyclical capital buffer” that is applicable to only certain covered institutions and does not have any current applicability to the Company or the Bank. Strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments were also implemented under the Basel III Capital Rules.

Dividend Restrictions

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is dependent upon dividends from the Bank to provide funds for the payment of dividends to shareholders and to provide for other cash requirements. Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid. Approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels. Approval is also required if dividends declared exceed the net profits for that year combined with the retained net profits for the preceding two years.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk refers to the potential impact on earnings or capital arising from movements in interest rates. The Bank’s market risk management framework has been developed to control both short-term and long-term exposure within Board approved policy limits and is monitored by the Asset-Liability Management Committee and Board of Directors. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk were presented at December 31, 20202021 in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2021.10, 2022. The following is an update of the discussion provided therein.

Portfolio Composition

There was no material change in the composition of assets, deposit liabilities or borrowings from December 31, 20202021 to September 30, 2021, aside from asset growth due to an increased liquidity position. The increased liquidity position resulted from continued deposit growth and drove investment security purchases and an excess Federal Reserve interest earning cash balance at quarter end.2022. See the section titled “Analysis of Financial Condition” in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of asset, deposit and borrowing activity during the period.

Net Interest Income at Risk

A primary tool used to manage interest rate risk is “rate shock” simulation to measure the rate sensitivity. Rate shock simulation is a modeling technique used to estimate the impact of changes in rates on net interest income as well as economic value of equity.

Net interest income at risk is measured by estimating the changes in net interest income resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in interest rates of different magnitudes over a period of 12 months. The following table sets forth the estimated changes to net interest income over the 12-month period ending September 30, 20222023 assuming instantaneous changes in interest rates for the given rate shock scenarios (dollars in thousands):

In the rising rate scenarios, the static model results indicate that net interest income is modeled to increase compared to the flat rate scenario over a one-year timeframe. This is a result of assumed commercial loan products and investment security cash flow repricinga shift to municipal non-maturity deposits from wholesale funds when comparing on a quarter- over-quarter basis. The municipal non-maturity deposits reprice at a higher frequency than underlying borrowing and deposit costs.slower pace compared to wholesale funding which results in a slightly positive change in net interest income. This simulation does not consider balance sheet growth or a change in the balance sheet mix. As intermediate and longer-term assets continue to mature and are replaced at higher yields, net interest income improvesshould improve over longer termlonger-term timeframes. Model results in the declining rate scenario indicate decreases in net interest income due to assets having the ability to reprice downward near full market rate shocks, while deposit and borrowing liabilities reach modeled floors.

In addition to the changes in interest rate scenarios listed above, other scenarios are typically modeled to measure interest rate risk. These scenarios vary depending on the economic and interest rate environment. Furthermore, given the static balance sheet approach, retained earnings are considered to be reinvested in a non-interest earning asset.

The simulation referenced above is based on our assumption as to the effect of interest rate changes on assets and liabilities and assumes a parallel shift of the yield curve. It also includes certain assumptions about the future pricing of loans and deposits in response to changes in interest rates. Further, it assumes that delinquency rates would not change as a result of changes in interest rates, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. While this simulation is a useful measure as to net interest income at risk due to a change in interest rates, it is not a forecast of future results, does not measure the effect of changing interest rates on noninterest income and is based on many assumptions that, if changed, could cause a different outcome.

Economic Value of Equity At Risk

The economic (or “fair”) value of financial instruments on our balance sheet will also vary under the interest rate scenarios previously discussed. This variance is measured by simulating changes in our economic value of equity (“EVE”), which is calculated by subtracting the estimated fair value of liabilities from the estimated fair value of assets. Fair values for financial instruments are estimated by discounting projected cash flows (principal and interest) at current replacement rates for each account type, while fair values of non-financial assets and liabilities are assumed to equal book value and do not vary with interest rate fluctuations. An economic value simulation is a static measure for balance sheet accounts at a given point in time, but this measurement can change substantially over time as the characteristics of our balance sheet evolve and as interest rate and yield curve assumptions are updated.

The amount of change in economic value under different interest rate scenarios depends on the characteristics of each class of financial instrument, including the stated interest rate or spread relative to current market rates or spreads, the likelihood of prepayment, whether the rate is fixed or floating, and the maturity date of the instrument. As a general rule, fixed-rate financial assets become more valuable in declining rate scenarios and less valuable in rising rate scenarios, while fixed-rate financial liabilities gain in value as interest rates rise and lose value as interest rates decline. The longer the duration of the financial instrument, the greater the impact a rate change will have on its value. In our economic value simulations, estimated prepayments are factored in for financial instruments with stated maturity dates, and decay rates for non-maturity deposits are projected based on historical data (back-testing).

The analysis that follows presents the estimated EVE resulting from market interest rates prevailing at a given quarter-end (“Pre-Shock Scenario”), and under other interest rate scenarios (each a “Rate Shock Scenario”) represented by immediate, permanent, parallel shifts in interest rates from those observed at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 (dollars in thousands). The analysis additionally presents a measurement of the interest rate sensitivity at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021. EVE amounts are computed under each respective Pre-Shock Scenario and Rate Shock Scenario. An increase in the EVE amount is considered favorable, while a decline is considered unfavorable. The following table sets forth the estimated changes to EVE assuming instantaneous changes in interest rates for the given rate shock scenarios (dollars in thousands):

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time we are a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of prosecution, defense and settlement costs, unfavorable awards, diversion of management resources and other factors.

We are party to an action filed against us on May 16, 2017 by Matthew L. Chipego, Charlene Mowry, Constance C. Churchill and Joseph W. Ewing in the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Plaintiffs sought class certification to represent classes of consumers in New York and Pennsylvania along with statutory damages, interest and declaratory relief. The plaintiffs sought to represent a putative class of consumers who are alleged to have obtained direct or indirect financing from us for the purchase of vehicles that we later repossessed. The plaintiffs specifically claim that the notices the Bank sent to defaulting consumers after their vehicles were repossessed did not comply with the relevant portions of the Uniform Commercial Code in New York and Pennsylvania. We dispute and believe we have meritorious defenses against these claims and plan to vigorously defend ourselves.

On September 30, 2021, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and certified four different classes (two classes of New York consumers and two classes of Pennsylvania consumers). We estimate there may beThere are approximately 5,200 members in the New York classes and 300 members in the Pennsylvania classes. On December 20, 2021, we filed a request for an interlocutory appeal of the denial of our motion to dismiss the case for lack of standing. On February 8, 2022, plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgement for most of the relief they seek. We filed a cross motion for partial summary judgement seeking permission to appealthe dismissal of a portion of the class certification rulingand sought an offset in the form of recoupment which reduces any liability that may be imposed against us by the amounts that the borrowers owe to the Bank for failing to repay their motor vehicle loans. In addition, on April 25, 2022, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court declared unconstitutional a statute on which the Court may have based jurisdiction in this case. Therefore, on June 27, 2022, we filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's June 5, 2018 decision overruling our preliminary objections based on lack of personal jurisdiction as to the New York plaintiffs. Plaintiffs have responded to that motion claiming an alternative basis for jurisdiction.

On September 26, 2022, the lower Court denied both plaintiffs’ and defendants’ motions for partial summary judgment. In declining to grant Plaintiffs’ motion, the Court found that there were questions of fact as to whether the members of the class had purchased the subject vehicles for “consumer use” within the meaning of the relevant statutes. Defendants’ motion for summary judgment on the recoupment was denied because the Court determined that it could not enter a judgment on recoupment – which is a set off from liability – without first determining whether there was liability.

On October 4, 2022, the Parties agreed to a sixty (60) day stay of all deadlines in the case in order to pursue mediation. On October 7, 2022, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania granted our December 20, 2021 Request for an Interlocutory Appeal. As such, the case is now stayed until the appeal is briefed and a staydecided by the Superior Court. No briefing schedule has yet been established for the appeal. In addition to the pending appeal, the parties are in the process of proceedings pending any such appeal. We also filed a motionexploring non-binding mediation to dismisspotentially resolve some or all of the action for lack of standing. issues in the matter.

We have not accrued a contingent liability for this matter at this time because, given our defenses, we are unable to conclude whether a liability is reasonably probable to occur nor are we able to currently reasonably estimate the amount of potential loss.

If we settle these claims or the action is not resolved in our favor, we may suffer reputational damage and incur legal costs, settlements or judgments that exceed the amounts covered by our existing insurance policies.insurer. We can provide no assurances that our insurer will insurecover the full legal costs, settlements or judgments we incur in excess of our deductible.incur. If we are unsuccessful in defending ourselves from these claims or if our insurer does not insure us againstcover the full amount of legal costs we incur, in excess of our deductible, the result may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
