ENTERPRISE FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used by Enterprise Financial Services Corp (the “Company,” “EFSC,” or “Enterprise”) in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are summarized below:

Business and Consolidation

Enterprise is a financial holding company that provides a full range of banking and wealth management services to individuals and corporate customers located in the Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, and New Mexico markets through its banking subsidiary, Enterprise Bank & Trust (the “Bank”).Trust.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2019.2020. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.SEC.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flow for the interim periods.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

During the first quarter of 2019,On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-08,ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology commonly referred to as the CECL methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments. In addition, this standard made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, including the requirement for credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities.
The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under the new standard while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded an after-tax decrease to retained earnings of $18.1 million as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting this standard.
The Company adopted this standard using the prospective transition approach for PCD assets that were previously classified as PCI assets. Management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of the adoption.
6


The Company elected not to maintain PCI pools for certain loans which are now accounted for individually. Thus they are now included in nonperforming and classified loans. Management did not reassess whether modifications to individual acquired financial assets accounted for in pools were troubled debt restructurings as of the date of adoption.

The following table illustrates the impact of adoption:

The Company also adopted ASU 2018-13, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period of certain callable debt securities held at a premiumFair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the earliest callDisclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” on January 1, 2020. The Company previously selected the option to adopt the removal or modification of disclosures during the second quarter of 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty are applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented. All other amendments are applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Adopted

FASB ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In March 2020, the FASB issued “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” whichprovides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance is effective for contract modifications as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 is currently evaluating the optional expedients and exceptions and has not yet determined the impact this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements.
“Leases (Topic 842)”
Loans
The Company has elected to present the accrued interest receivable balance separate from amortized cost basis, to exclude accrued interest receivable balances from the tabular disclosures, and not to estimate an ACL on accrued interest receivable as these amounts are timely written off as a credit loss expense.

Accrued interest receivable totaled $24.6 million at September 30, 2020 and was reported in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

PCD Loans
The Company has purchased loans, some of which have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. PCD loans are recorded at the amount paid. An ACL is determined using the optional transition method effectivesame methodology as other loans held for investment. The initial ACL determined on January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires organizationsa collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and ACL becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the ACL are recorded through provision expense.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The ACLL is a valuation account that lease assetsis deducted from the amortized cost basis to recognizepresent the net amount expected to be collected. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

Management estimates the allowance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors.

The ACLL is measured on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments:

C&I – C&I loans consist of loans to small and medium-sized businesses in a wide variety of industries. These loans are generally collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, real estate and other commercial assets, and liabilitiesmay be supported by other credit enhancements such as personal guarantees. Risk arises primarily due to a difference between expected and actual cash flows of the borrower. However, the recoverability of these loans is also dependent on other factors primarily dictated by the type of collateral securing these loans. The fair value of the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate as market conditions change. Included within C&I are revolving loans supported by borrowing bases that fluctuate depending on the amount of underlying collateral. A portion of C&I loans consists of enterprise value lending, which are loans with senior debt exposure to private equity backed companies.

CRE – CRE loans include various types of loans for which the rightsCompany holds real property as collateral. Commercial real estate lending activity is typically restricted to owner-occupied properties or to investor properties that are owned by customers with a current banking relationship. The primary risks of CRE loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the real estate being held as collateral and obligations createdsignificant increases in interest rates, which may make the real estate mortgage loan unprofitable. Real estate loans may be more adversely affected by leases.conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy.

Construction and Land Development The Company recorded $15.5 million for right-to-use assetsoriginates loans to finance construction projects including one- to four-family residences, multifamily residences, commercial office, and $16.2 million for lease liabilities related to operating leases. The Company electedindustrial projects. Construction loans are generally collateralized by first liens on the practical expedients package which eliminates (1) the need to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease, (2) the need to reassess the lease classification, and (3) the need to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected an accounting policy to not recognize assets and liabilities on leases 12 months or less, and an accounting policy for equipment and real estate leasesand have floating interest rates. Construction loans are considered to not separate nonlease components becausehave higher risks due to construction completion and timing risk, and the ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property and the availability of long-term financing. Additionally, economic conditions may impact was immaterial.

Acquisitions

Acquisitionsthe Company’s ability to recover its investment in construction loans. Adverse economic conditions may negatively impact the real estate market which could affect the borrowers’ ability to complete and business combinations are accounted for usingsell the acquisition method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entities have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price overproject. Additionally, the fair value of net assets acquired,the underlying collateral may fluctuate as market conditions change.

Residential Real Estate – The Company originates loans to finance one- to four-family residences, secured by both first and second liens. Repayment of these loans is dependent on the borrowers’ ability to pay and the fair value of the underlying collateral. Residential loans with a second lien are inherently riskier due to the junior lien position.
8



Agricultural – Agricultural loans are generally secured with equipment, cattle, crops or other non-real property and at times the underlying real property. Agricultural loans are primarily included as a component of CRE and C&I loans.

Consumer – The Company provides a broad range of consumer loans to customers, including personal lines of credit, credit cards and automobile loans. Repayment of these loans is dependent on the amount assignedborrowers’ ability to identifiable intangible assets. pay and the fair value of the underlying collateral. Consumer loans are included as a component of Other loans.



The purchase price allocation process requires an estimationCompany utilizes a DCF method to measure the ACL on loans collectively evaluated that are sub-segmented by credit risk levels. The DCF method incorporates assumptions for probability of default, loss given default, prepayments and curtailments over the contractual term of the fair valuesloans. In determining the probability of default, the Company utilized a regression analysis to determine certain economic factors that are relevant loss drivers in the portfolio segments based on historical or peer evaluations. National unemployment is a loss driver used in nearly all portfolios, except Consumer. The annual percentage change in gross domestic product is also used in C&I, Construction, Agricultural and Consumer portfolios. The annual percentage change in a commercial real estate index, national house price index and the consumer price index are used in the CRE, Residential Real Estate and Consumer portfolios, respectively. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the assets acquired andfollowing applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the liabilities assumed. Whenreporting date that a business combination agreement provides fortroubled debt restructuring will be executed with an adjustment toindividual borrower or the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the Company includes an estimate of the acquisition-date fair value as part of the cost of the combination. To determine the fair values, the Company utilizes third party valuations, such as appraisals,extension or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques. The results of operations of the acquired businessrenewal options are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements fromoriginal or modified contract at the reporting date of acquisition. Merger-related costsand are costsnot unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

The Company uses a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast that considers baseline, upside and downside economic scenarios. For periods beyond the forecast period, the Company incursreverts to effect a business combination. The Company presents merger-related expenses as a separate component of noninterest expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Merger-related expenses include costs directly related to merger or acquisition activity and include legal and professional fees, system consolidation and conversion costs, gain orhistorical loss on sale of investment securities incurred through repositioning the acquired investment portfolio, and compensation costs such as severance and retention incentives for employees impacted by acquisition activity. The Company accounts for merger-related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received.

Revenue

The Company’s revenues are primarily composed of interest income on financial instruments, including investment securities. Other noninterest income is primarily comprised of service charges on deposit accounts, wealth management revenue, card services revenue and gains on sale of other real estate. Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities, which are presented in our income statement as components of noninterest income, are as follows:
Service charges on deposit accounts - represents fees generated from a variety of deposit products and services provided to customers under a day-to-day contract. These fees are recognized on a daily or monthly basis.
Wealth management revenue - represents monthly fees earned from directing, holding, and managing customers’ assets. Revenue is recognized over regular intervals, either monthly or quarterly.
Card services revenue - represents revenue earned from merchant, debit and credit cards as incurred and includes a contra revenue account for rebates.
Gain on sale of other real estate - represents income recognized at delivery of control of a property at the time of a real estate closing.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on our consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognizedrates on a straight-line basis over a one-year period.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the lease term. We account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Assumptions and judgmentscollective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are used in applying ASC 842 and may include (1) the decision framework for identifying a lease, (2) the accounting policy election for equipment and real estate leases to not separate nonlease components, and (3) the discount rate for determining the initial present value of the lease payments which is based on information available at the commencement date for determining the lease term and assessing if optional periods are reasonably likely to be exercised. For the calculation at January 1, 2019, the discount rate was based on the remaining lease terms.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how


and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable tocollateral at the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply, or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

The Company does not offset derivative asset and liability positions. However, the Company's exposure to the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments is generally mitigated by master netting agreements with its counterparties. 

The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) replace LIBOR. ARRC has proposed the transition to SOFR from LIBOR until the end of 2021. The Company has material contracts indexed to LIBOR. Industry organizations are currently working on the transition plan. The Company is monitoring this activity and evaluating the risks involved.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share data is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common shares outstanding include common stock and restricted stock awards where recipients have satisfied the vesting terms. Diluted earnings per common share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company transferred municipal securities and agency mortgage-backed securities with an aggregate book value of $163.6 million and an aggregate fair value of $175.1 million from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. The Company believes the held- to-maturity category is more consistent with the Company’s intent for these securities. The transfer of securities was made at fair value at the time of transfer. The unamortized portion of the $11.5 million unrealized holding gain at the time of transfer is retained in accumulated other comprehensive income and in the carrying value of held-to-maturity securities. Such amounts are amortized over the remaining life of the securities.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company sold seven agency mortgage-backed securities with an aggregate book value of $19.6 million for an aggregate gain of $0.4 million.

At September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity, other than U.S. Government agencies and sponsored enterprises. The agency mortgage-backed securities are all issued by U.S. Government agencies and sponsored enterprises. Securities having a fair value of $416.0$449.5 million and $433.7$484.8 million at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure deposits of public institutions and for other purposes as required by law or contract provisions.



The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at September 30, 2019,2020, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The unrealized losses at both September 30, 2019,2020 and December 31, 2018,2019 were primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates sinceafter the securities were purchased. Management systematically evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. This analysis requires management to consider various factors, which include among other considerations (1) the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected compared to the amortized cost of the security, (2) duration and magnitude of the decline in value, (3) the financial condition of the issuer or issuers, (4) structure of the security, and (5) the intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not the Company would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in market value. At September 30, 2019,2020, management performed its quarterly analysis of all securities with an unrealized loss and concluded no individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $4.0 million at September 30, 2020 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities totaled $2.4 million at September 30, 2020 and is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. At September 30, 2020, the ACL on held-to-maturity securities was $0.6 million.

The CECL methodology incorporates various economic scenarios. The Company utilizes three forecasts in the model, Moody’s baseline, a stronger near-term growth upside and a moderate recession downside forecast. The Company weights these scenarios at 80%, 10%, and 10%, respectively, which added approximately $1.2 million to the ACL over the baseline model. These forecasts incorporate an accommodative monetary policy and the current and anticipated impact of government stimulus. The Company has also recognized the risk posed by loans that have received multiple deferrals of principal and interest payments, including the hospitality sector, by allocating additional reserves to those segments. Some of the key risks to the forecasts that could result in future provision for credit losses are additional shutdowns and self-quarantines if another significant wave of COVID hits, small-business bankruptcies occur at higher levels, unemployment increases, or the next round of fiscal stimulus is delayed or does not occur.

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, payment experience, credit documentation, and current economic factors among other factors. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Grades 1, 2, and 3 – Includes loans to borrowers with a continuous record of strong earnings, sound balance sheet condition and capitalization, ample liquidity with solid cash flow, and whose management team has experience and depth within their industry.
Grade 4 – Includes loans to borrowers with positive trends in profitability, satisfactory capitalization and balance sheet condition, and sufficient liquidity and cash flow.
Grade 5 – Includes loans to borrowers that may display fluctuating trends in sales, profitability, capitalization, liquidity, and cash flow.
Grade 6 – Includes loans to borrowers where an adverse change or perceived weakness has occurred, but may be correctable in the near future. Alternatively, this rating category may also include circumstances where the borrower is starting to reverse a negative trend or condition, or has recently been upgraded from a 7, 8, or 9 rating.
Grade 7 – Watch credits are borrowers that have experienced financial setback of a nature that is not determined to be severe or influence ‘ongoing concern’ expectations. Although possible, no loss is anticipated, due to strong collateral and/or guarantor support.

Grade 4 – Includes loans to borrowers with positive trends in profitability, satisfactory capitalization and balance sheet condition, and sufficient liquidity and cash flow.
Grade 5 – Includes loans to borrowers that may display fluctuating trends in sales, profitability, capitalization, liquidity, and cash flow.
Grade 6 – Includes loans to borrowers where an adverse change or perceived weakness has occurred, but may be correctable in the near future. Alternatively, this rating category may also include circumstances where the borrower is starting to reverse a negative trend or condition, or has recently been upgraded from a 7, 8, or 9 rating.
Grade 7 – Watch credits are borrowers that have experienced financial setback of a nature that is not determined to be severe or influence ‘ongoing concern’ expectations. Although possible, no loss is anticipated at this time, due to strong collateral and/or guarantor support.
Grade 8Substandard credits include those borrowers characterized by significant losses and sustained downward trends in balance sheet condition, liquidity, and cash flow. Repayment reliance may have shifted to secondary sources. Collateral exposure may exist and additional reserves may be warranted.
Grade 9Doubtful credits include borrowers that may show deteriorating trends that are unlikely to be corrected. Collateral values may appear insufficient for full recovery, therefore requiring a partial charge-off, or debt renegotiation with the borrower. The borrower may have declared bankruptcy or bankruptcy is likely in the near term. All doubtful rated credits will be on nonaccrual.

NOTE 76 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company issues financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of the business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s extent of involvement and maximum potential 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 represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.

The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2019, the amount of unadvanced commitments on impaired loans was insignificant.

The contractual amounts of off-balance-sheet financial instruments as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, are as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments usually have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, may have significant usage restrictions, and may require payment of a fee. Of the total commitments to extend credit at September 30, 2019,2020, and December 31, 2018,2019, approximately $128.4$170.0 million and $68.5$144.8 million, respectively, represent fixed rate loan commitments. Since certain of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon or may be revoked, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment, and real estate. Other liabilities includes $5.2 million and $0.4 million for estimated losses attributable to the unadvanced commitments at September 30, 2019,2020, and December 31, 2018.

2019, respectively.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance or payment of a customer to a third party. These standby letters of credit are issued to support contractual obligations of the Company’s customers. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loans to customers. As of September 30, 2019,2020, the approximate remaining terms of standby letters of credit range from 1 month to 3 years, 5 years.months.

Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to various legal proceedings arising out of their businesses. Management believes there are no such proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.




NOTE 87 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk 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 principally related to the Company’s borrowings. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

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 primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. 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. During 2019, suchThese derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. These cash flow hedges include: (1) swaps of variable three-month LIBOR on $62.0 million of junior subordinated debentures to a weighted-average-fixed rate of 2.62% over approximately six years, (2) a swap variable 90 day LIBORof the federal funds effective rate on $100.0 million of rolling
20


FHLB overnight advances to a fixed rate of 2.62%1.12% for three years, and (3) a swap of three-month LIBOR on average$100.0 million of rolling three-month FHLB advances for an average term of sixfive years.

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 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 related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are paid on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.5$2.9 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

Non-designated Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not considered speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives 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 derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings as a component of other noninterest income.

NOTE 12 - NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

FASB ASU 2018-13 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820. The amendmentsnotes due in this ASU are the result of a broader disclosure project called FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, which the Board finalized on August 28, 2018. The Board used the guidance in the Concepts Statement, including consideration of costs and benefits, to improve the effectiveness of ASC 820’s disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company has selected the option to adopt the removal or modification of disclosures during the second quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the additional disclosures and has not yet determined the impact this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments (Topic 326)” which changes the methodology for evaluating impairment of most financial instruments.

Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has formed an implementation team that includes members of accounting, credit, and loan operations to review the requirements of ASU 2016-13, and has contracted with a software provider to aid in implementation. The Company has assessed its data and system needs, implemented a model validation process, selected portfolio segmentations and loss methodologies, and is continuing to refine forecast inputs and documentation of the end-to-end process. While the impact of adopting this standard has not been fully determined, the Company will recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance and retained earnings upon adoption.  The Company expects to finalize quantifying the anticipated impact of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s financial statements during the fourth quarter of 2019.Operations

Introduction

The following discussion describes the significant changes to the financial condition of the Company that have occurred during the first nine months of 20192020 compared to the financial condition as of December 31, 2018.2019. In addition, this discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the results of operations, liquidity and cash flows of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, compared to the same periods in 2018.2019. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Certain financial condition comparisons2019.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On January 31, 2020, the Secretary of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency due to the prior yearglobal outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States proclaimed the COVID-19 as a national emergency, following the World Health Organization’s categorization of the outbreak as a pandemic. COVID-19 continues to aggressively spread globally, including throughout the United States. The pandemic and resulting travel bans, closure of non-essential businesses, social distancing measures and government responses across the country have had a profound impact on the global economy, financial markets and how business has been conducted across all industries and have affected many of the Company’s customers and clients. To the extent the economic impacts of the pandemic continue for a prolonged period and conditions stagnate or worsen, our provision for credit losses, noninterest income, and profitability may be adversely affected.

The Company has taken proactive and disciplined steps to promote the safety and overall wellbeing of its associates, customers and stakeholders, as well as to manage its financial performance. Steps taken include activation of the Company’s business continuity plan, formation of a communication and action task force, cost containment measures, restrictions on business travel, conversion of in-person meetings to virtual or with restrictions in certain markets, a work-from-home mandate, branch lobby access restrictions, and multiple safety and social distancing protocols. The Company has also worked with its customers to implement appropriate loan deferral strategies in certain circumstances.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act contains provisions to assist individuals and businesses, including the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP provided $349 billion in guaranteed loans that are forgivable if certain requirements are met. On April 24, 2020, an additional $310 billion was added to the PPP program. The CARES Act included a provision that allowed depository institutions the option to defer adoption of the CECL standard to the earlier of (1) the end of the COVID-19 national emergency or (2) December 31, 2020. The Company did not elect the deferral option.

On April 7, 2020, the U.S. banking agencies issued an Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised). The statement describes accounting for COVID-19-related loan modifications, including clarifying the interaction between current accounting rules and the temporary relief provided by the CARES Act. The statement also encourages institutions to work constructively with borrowers affected by COVID-19 and states the agencies will not criticize supervised institutions for prudent loan modifications. Both the CARES Act and the interagency statement provide relief from the accounting and reporting implications of troubled debt restructurings. The Company has implemented short-term deferral programs allowing customers to primarily defer payments for up to 90 days. As of September 30, 2020, loans of $139.4 million were in a deferral status of which $86.1 million represent second round deferrals. The deferral period expires in the fourth quarter 2020 for approximately 99% of loans in a deferral status.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies are considered most critical to the understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. These critical accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Because these estimates and judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experience. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition and/or results of operations comparisonscould reasonably be expected. The impact and any associated risks related to our critical accounting policies on our business operations are discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the linkedyear ended December 31, 2019.

The Company has prepared the consolidated financial information in this report in accordance with GAAP. The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include the valuation of loans, goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, along with assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using loss experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were characterized by heightened uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact estimates and assumptions made by management. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statement in future periods. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This standard, referred to as CECL, requires an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses on certain financial assets measured at amortized cost.

The Company maintains separate allowances for funded loans, unfunded loans, and held-to-maturity securities, collectively the ACL. The ACL is a valuation account to adjust the cost basis to the amount expected to be collected, based on management’s estimate of experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. For purposes of determining the allowance for funded and unfunded loans, the portfolios are segregated into pools that share similar risk characteristics that are then further segregated by credit grades. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are not included in the collective evaluation. The Company estimates the amount of the allowance based on loan loss experience, adjusted for current and forecasted economic conditions, including unemployment, changes in GDP, and commercial and residential real estate prices. The Company’s forecast of economic conditions uses internal and external information and considers a weighted average of a baseline, upside, and downside scenarios. Because economic conditions can change and are difficult to predict, the anticipated amount of estimated loan defaults and losses, and therefore the adequacy of the allowance, could change significantly and have a direct impact on the Company’s credit costs.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company completes a goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the Company may not be able to recover the goodwill, or intangible assets, respective carrying amount. The impairment test involves the use of various estimates and assumptions. Management believes the estimates and assumptions utilized are included for additional trend analysis.

reasonable.
30



Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level. Reporting units are defined as the same level as, or one level below, an operating segment. An operating segment is a component of a business for which separate financial information is available that management regularly evaluates in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has one reporting unit and one operating segment.

Potential impairments to goodwill must first be identified by performing a qualitative assessment that evaluates relevant events or circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this test indicates it is more likely than not that goodwill has been impaired, then a quantitative impairment test is completed. The quantitative impairment test calculates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares it with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair market value, an impairment loss is recognized. That loss is equal to the carrying amount of goodwill that is in excess of its implied fair market value.

Intangible assets other than goodwill, such as core deposit intangibles, determined to have finite lives are amortized over their estimated remaining useful lives. These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

As of September 30, 2020, while the Company has not recognized an impairment, there can be no assurance that prolonged market volatility resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic will not result in impairments to goodwill or other intangibles in future periods.

Conversely, net interest margin, the allowance coverage ratio, the leverage ratio and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets all decreased. Since the PPP loans are guaranteed by the SBA, CET1, Tier 1 and total risk-based capital are not impacted by the PPP loan balances.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had net income of $18.0 million and $45.5 million, respectively, compared to $29.1 million and $63.6 million, respectively, compared to $22.5 million and $65.7 million infor the prior year periods. Earnings per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, were2020 was $0.68 and $1.73, respectively, and $1.08 and $2.45, per diluted share, respectively, and $0.97 and $2.81 per diluted share, for the same respective periods in 2018.2019. Net income and


earnings per share for the firstthree and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were impacted from $14.1 million and $55.9 million, respectively, on a pretax basis ($10.6 million and $42.1 million, respectively, after tax), of provision for credit losses. The increase in the provision for credit losses for the three months ending September 30, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in individual reserves and qualitative reserves established for certain higher risk areas, including hospitality and loans that have received principal and interest deferrals partially offset by improvements in economic forecasts. Deterioration in the economic forecasts during the first two quarters of 2020 primarily contributed to the increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Net income and earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were impacted from $18.0by $1.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, on a pretax basis ($14.01.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, after tax), of merger-related expenses compared toexpenses. For the prior year period.nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 net income and earnings per share were impacted by $1.6 million and $18.0 million, respectively, on a pretax basis ($1.2 million and $14.0 million, respectively, after tax), of merger-related expenses.

Excluding the impact of merger-related expenses, the adjusted return on average assets1, adjusted return on average common equity1, and adjusted return on average tangible common equity1 were 1.54%, 13.42%, and 18.50%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 increased $15.0$0.3 million and $35.8$15.5 million, respectively, over the prior year periods. periods primarily from reductions in rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Higher loan volumes, due to PPP loans in the three and nine month comparisons, and due to the Trinity acquisition in the nine month comparison, were offset by reductions in loan yields of 139 basis points and 102 basis points for the three and nine month comparisons, respectively.

The acquisition of Trinity along with organic loan growth and an expanded investment portfolio supported the increase intax-equivalent net interest income overmargin was 3.29% and 3.52% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 3.81% and 3.85% in the prior year periods.periods, respectively. The net interest margin was impacted by the decline in short-term rates as approximately 60% of the Company’s loan portfolio (excluding PPP) has variable rates, with most indexed to one-month LIBOR that has declined significantly over the past year. Average one-month LIBOR was 0.16% and 0.64% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 2.18% and 2.37% in the comparable prior year periods, respectively.

The net interest margin for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 expanded over the prior year periods, primarily due to the impact of interest rate increases on portfolio loans out-pacing the increase in deposit and borrowing costs and the addition of Trinity’s lower-cost deposit portfolio. Core net interest margin,1 which excludes incremental accretion on non-core acquired loans, increased two basis points to 3.76% for the first nine months of 2019 from the prior year period, and decreased five basis points to 3.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from the prior year period. The decline in core net interest margin during the third quarter of 2019 over the prior year period was primarily caused by the reduction in short-term rates during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Additionally, the overall mix of interest-earning assets negatively impacted net interest margin due to a larger investment portfolio.

Noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $5.22020 decreased $0.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to contributions from Trinity of approximately $2.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively, primarily related to wealth management and card services revenue. Tax credit income also contributed to the increase in both periods.

Noninterest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $8.3 million and $38.8$1.2 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. For the third quarter 2020, the increase in deposit balances provided more earnings credits to business customers on analysis, resulting in lower service charge income compared to the prior year periods. The increase in noninterest income for the threenine months ended September 30, 2019 reflects2020 compared to the ongoing operating expenses fromprior year period was primarily due to the acquisition of Trinity acquisition, including planned cost savings fromin March 2019.

Noninterest expense increased $1.3 million, or 3%, for the transaction.third quarter 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in the first nine months of 2019 was primarily due to merger-related expenses of $18.0 million and increased operating expenses followingexpenses. For the closing of the Trinity acquisition, most notably in employee compensation and benefits.

Net interest income (on a tax equivalent basis) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 increased 31%1% and 26%9%, respectively, over the prior year periods primarily from higher loan and investment volumes. Loan and investment volumes benefited from the Trinity acquisition and organic growthreductions in rates on interest-bearing liabilities offset by a decline in the loan portfolio. In addition to an increase in interest rates in the current-year periods that positively impacted net interest income, incremental accretion on non-core acquired loans also contributed to the increase. The increase in incremental accretion was due to successful loan workouts on several non-core acquired loans.
The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.81% and 3.85% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 3.78% in both the prior year periods. The net interest margin benefited from the impact of interest rate increases on the Company's asset sensitive balance sheet and the incremental accretion on non-core acquired loans. While the overall yield on interest-earning assets increased in 2019 over the prior year periods, short-term interest rates at September 30, 2019 haveearning assets. Loan yields declined from September 30, 2018. An increase in the investment portfolio in 2019 over 2018 has contributed to growth in net interest income, but the shift in earning assets between loans and investments has also reduced the net interest margin. Total investments were 22% of average interest earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 16% in the prior year period. Partially offsetting the increase from earning assets was the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities that increased seven139 basis points and 28102 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, compared to the comparable prior year periods. periods primarily due to LIBOR resets as well as lower rates on new and renewing loans in addition to a lower yield on PPP loans. Higher average loan balances from PPP loans and an increase in short-term investment balances also negatively impacted the yield on earning assets.
The increase


tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.29% and 3.52% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 3.81% and 3.85% in the prior year periods, respectively. The net interest rate paid on deposits reflects marketmargin was impacted by the decline in short-term rates as approximately 60% of the Company’s loan portfolio (excluding PPP) has variable rates, with most indexed to one-month LIBOR that has declined significantly over the past year. Average one-month LIBOR was 0.16% and 0.64% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 2.18% and 2.37% in the comparable prior year periods, respectively.

The Company responded to interest rate trends as the Company continues to defend existing and attract new core deposit relationships. Deposit pricing adjustments typically lag market movements in interest rates. While short-term interest rates have declined in 2019, the impact of these declines has not yet been reflected inby reducing the cost of deposits.

Noninterest income decreased $0.9 million, or 7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in deposit account balances provided more earnings credits to business customers, resulting in lower service charge income compared to the prior year quarter. The Company’s tax credit income decreased in the current quarter over the prior year period primarily due to the timing on projects.

Revolving line utilization was 40.1% and 46.7% at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Low interest rates and higher refinance activity has reduced the C&I, CRE,residential real estate portfolio, while construction and life insurance premium finance categories, partially offset by paydowns outpacing growth in the other categories. We expect continued loan growth in 2019 and 2020 to be 6-8% excluding Trinity acquired loans.owner-occupied commercial real estate loans have increased.

1Specialized categories may include a mix of C&I, CRE, construction and land development, or consumer and other loans.

Specialized lending products, especially enterprise value lending, life insurance premium financing, and tax credits, consist of primarily C&I loans. These loans are sourced through relationships developed with estate planning firms and private equity funds and are not bound geographically by our four markets. These specialized loan products offer opportunities to expand and diversify geographically by entering into new markets. The Company continues to

focus on originating high-quality C&I relationships, as they typically have variable interest rates and allow for cross selling opportunities involving other banking products. C&I loan growth, coupled with typically fixed-rate CRE lending, supports management’s efforts to maintain a flexible asset sensitive interest rate risk position. Specialized lending products consisting of life insurance premium financing and tax credits increased $119.4 million in 2020. Life insurance premium financing and tax credits are typically lower risk products due to the high collateral value securing the loans. Agriculture loans increased primarily due to hog and pig farming. Enterprise value lending decreased in 2020 primarily due to paydowns.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has processed $690.8 million of short-term deferrals allowing customers to defer payments. Approximately 99% of the deferrals are for 90 days or less. As of September 30, 2020, loans of $139.3 million were still in deferral status, including second round deferrals of $86.1 million.

Provision and Allowance for LoanCredit Losses

The adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020 increased the ACLL by $28.4 million, or 65%, and the allowance for unfunded commitments by $2.4 million. These increases were primarily offset in retained earnings and did not impact the consolidated statement of operations.

The provision for credit losses, which includes a provision for losses on unfunded commitments, is a charge to earnings to maintain the ACL at a level consistent with management’s assessment of expected losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The Company also records reversals of interest on nonaccrual loans and interest recoveries directly through the provision of credit losses. The provision for credit losses was $14.1 million and $55.9 million for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 20192020, respectively. CECL requires economic forecasts to be factored into determining estimated losses. As a result, CECL will typically require a higher level of provision at the start of an economic downturn. The increase in the provision for credit losses in 2020 was $1.8 millionprimarily due to a change in economic forecasts from the end of 2019, which worsened significantly starting in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and $5.0 million, respectively,the resulting slow-down of business activity. Two of the primary economic loss drivers used in estimating the ACL include the percentage change in GDP and unemployment. At September 30, 2020, the Company’s forecast of the percentage change in GDP included a range of (5.9)% to 11.8% and the percentage change in unemployment included a range of 6.5% to 11.3%. The Company utilizes a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast.

In the third quarter 2020, economic forecasts improved slightly compared to $2.3 millionthe first and $4.5 millionsecond quarters of 2020 reducing the provision for samecredit losses. This improvement was offset by an increase in individual reserves and in qualitative reserves established for certain higher risk areas, including hospitality and loans that have received principal and interest deferrals.

To the extent the Company does not recognize charge-offs and economic forecasts improve in future periods, in 2018, respectively.the Company could recognize a reversal of provision for credit losses. Conversely, if economic conditions and the Company’s forecast worsens, the Company could recognize elevated levels of provision for credit losses. The provision is also reflective of loan growth and charge-offs in the period.



The allowance for loan lossesCompany had net charge-offs of $2.5 million in the first nine months of 2020, primarily due to the administrative charge-off of nonaccrual loans less than $100,000 in individual outstanding principal amount in accordance with the Company’s credit policy. Most of these charge-offs were loans added to nonaccrual as part of the CECL adoption. The ACLL was 0.85%2.01% of loans at September 30, 2019,2020, compared to 1.04%0.81% at September 30, 2018. The decrease in the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was primarily due to the acquisition of Trinity loans that were recorded at fair value and did not have a corresponding allowance for loan losses. The Company recorded a credit mark on the Trinity loan portfolio of $24.4 million at acquisition.December 31, 2019.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio.

Nonperforming assets

Prior to the adoption of CECL, PCI loans were accounted for in performing pools of loans and were not individually identified as nonaccrual or classified. Under the CECL accounting model, the Company elected not to maintain PCI pools for certain loans which are now accounted for individually and are now included in nonperforming and classified loans. PCI loans are referred to as PCD under CECL.

The following table presents the categories of nonperforming assets and other ratios as of the dates indicated.

The foreclosure of the commercial property did not result in a write-down of the asset. These additions were partially offset by other real estateand sales of $4.3$0.7 million.

Liabilities

Liabilities totaled $6.5 billion at September 30, 2019, compared to $5.0 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase in liabilities was due to $1.0 billion of growth in total deposits primarily attributable to the acquisition of Trinity and a $391.4 million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, partially offset by a decrease of $23.8 million in other borrowings and notes payable. The increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances supported the increase in the investment portfolio, the reduction in higher-cost other borrowings and the Company’s share repurchase plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

TheOur objective of liquidity management is to ensure we have the ability tocan generate sufficient cash or cash equivalents in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet our commitments as they become due. Typical demands on liquidity are run-off from demand deposits, maturing time deposits which are not renewed, and fundings under credit commitments


to customers. Funds are available from a number ofseveral sources, such as from the core deposit base and from loans and securities repayments and maturities.

Additionally, liquidityLiquidity is provided from sales of the securities portfolio, fed fund lines with correspondent banks, borrowings from the Federal Reserve and the FHLB, the ability to acquire large and brokered deposits, and the ability to sell loan participations to other banks. These alternatives are an important part of our liquidity plan and provide flexibility and efficient execution of the asset-liability management strategy.

The Bank’s Asset-Liability Management Committee oversees our liquidity position, the parameters of which are approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors. Our liquidity position is monitored monthly by measuring the amount of liquid versus non-liquid assets and liabilities. Our liquidity management framework includes measurement of several key elements, such as the loan to deposit ratio, a liquidity ratio, and a dependency ratio. The Company’s liquidity framework also incorporates contingency planning to assess the nature and volatility of funding sources and to determine alternatives to these sources. While core deposits and loan and investment repayments are principal sources of liquidity, funding diversification is another key element of liquidity management and is achieved by strategically varying depositor types, terms, funding markets, and instruments.

Parent Company liquidity
The parent company’s liquidity is managed to provide the funds necessary to pay dividends to shareholders, service debt, invest in subsidiaries as necessary, and satisfy other operating requirements. The parent company’s primary funding sources to meet its liquidity requirements are dividends and payments from the Bank and proceeds from the issuance of equity (i.e. stock option exercises, stock offerings). Another source of funding for the parent company includes the issuance of subordinated debentures and other debt instruments.

The Company has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 registering up to $100 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, and various other securities, including combinations of such securities. The Company’s ability to offer securities pursuant to the registration statement depends on market conditions and the Company’s continuing eligibility to use the Form S-3 under rules of the SEC.

On November 1, 2016, the Company issued $50 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with a maturity date of November 1, 2026, which initially bear an annual interest rate of 4.75%, with interest payable semiannually. Beginning November 1, 2021, the interest rate resets quarterly to the three-month LIBOR rate plus a spread of 338.7 basis points, payable quarterly.

The Company has a senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Agreement”) with another bank allowing for borrowings up to $25 million that matures in February 2020. The proceeds can be used for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Agreement is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants as well as specified financial covenants. As of September 30, 2019, there was $1 million outstanding under the Revolving Agreement.

The Company has a five-year term note for $40 million that matures in March 2024. The Company principally used the proceeds from the issuance of the note to fund the cash consideration at the closing of the acquisition of Trinity.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $92 million of outstanding subordinated debentures as part of 13 statutory trusts which includes $23 million acquired in the Trinity acquisition. These debentures are classified as debt but are included in regulatory capital and the related interest expense is tax-deductible, which makes them an attractive source of funding.

Management believes our current level of cash at the holding company of $6 million, along with the Company’s other available funding sources, will be sufficient to meet all projected cash needs for the remainder of 2019.



Bank liquidity
The Bank has a variety of funding sources available to increase financial flexibility. In addition to amounts currently borrowed, at September 30, 2019,2020, the Bank had borrowing capacity of $532$545 million from the FHLB of Des Moines under blanket loan pledges, and has an additional $1 billion$763 million available from the Federal Reserve Bank under a pledged loan agreement. The Bank has unsecured federal funds lines with six correspondent banks totaling $90 million, and $296$374 million of unsecured credit through the American Financial Exchange.

Investment securities are another important tool in managing the Bank’s liquidity objectives. Securities totaled $1.3 billion at September 30, 2019,2020, and included $416$449 million pledged as collateral for deposits of public institutions, treasury, loan notes, and other requirements. The remaining $893$895 million could be pledged or sold to enhance liquidity, if necessary.

In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into certain forms of off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. These transactions are managed through the Bank’s various risk management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions in its evaluation of the Company’s liquidity. The Bank has $1.5$1.8 billion in unused commitments as of September 30, 2019.2020. The nature of these commitments is such that the likelihood of funding them in the aggregate at any one time is low.

EFSC liquidity
EFSC’s liquidity is managed to provide the funds necessary to pay dividends to shareholders, service debt, invest in subsidiaries as necessary, and satisfy other operating requirements. EFSC’s primary funding sources to meet its liquidity requirements are dividends and payments from the Bank and proceeds from the issuance of equity (i.e. stock option exercises, stock offerings). Another source of funding for the parent company includes the issuance of subordinated debentures and other debt instruments.

EFSC has an effective automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 allowing for the issuance of various forms of equity and debt securities. EFSC’s ability to offer securities pursuant to the registration statement depends on market conditions and the Company’s continuing eligibility to use the Form S-3 under rules of the SEC.

On November 1, 2016, EFSC issued $50 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with a maturity date of November 1, 2026, which initially bear an annual interest rate of 4.75%, with interest payable semiannually. Beginning November 1, 2021, the interest rate resets quarterly to the three-month LIBOR rate plus a spread of 338.7 basis points, payable quarterly.

In March 2019, EFSC entered into a five-year term note for $40 million that matures in March 2024. EFSC principally used the proceeds from the issuance of the note to fund the cash consideration at the closing of the acquisition of Trinity. The remaining balance at September 30, 2020 was $30 million.

On May 21, 2020, EFSC issued $63.3 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with a maturity date of June 1, 2030, which initially bear an annual interest rate of 5.75%, with interest payable semiannually. Beginning June 1, 2025, the interest rate resets quarterly to the three-month SOFR rate plus a spread of 566.0 basis points, payable quarterly.

EFSC has a senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the ���Revolving Agreement”) with another bank allowing for borrowings up to $25 million that matures in February 2021. The proceeds can be used for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Agreement is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants as well as specified financial covenants. As of September 30, 2020, no amount was outstanding under the Revolving Agreement.

As of September 30, 2020, EFSC had $92 million of outstanding junior subordinated debentures as part of 13 statutory trusts. These debentures are classified as debt but are included in regulatory capital and the related interest expense is tax-deductible, which makes them an attractive source of funding.

Management believes our current level of cash at the holding company of $71 million, along with EFSC’s other available funding sources, will be sufficient to meet all projected cash needs for the remainder of 2020.

Capital Resources

The CompanyEFSC and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its bank affiliate must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The banking affiliate’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the CompanyEFSC and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total, Tier 1, and common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. To be categorized as “well capitalized”, banks must maintain minimum total risk-based (10%), Tier 1 risk-based (8%), common equity tier 1 risk-based (6.5%), and Tier 1 leverage ratios (5%). As of September 30, 2019,2020, and December 31, 2018, the Company2019, EFSC and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
 
The Bank continues to exceed regulatory standards and met the definition of “well-capitalized” (the highest category) at September 30, 2019.2020.

In March 2020, the U.S. banking agencies issued an interim final rule that provides banking organizations that implement CECL before the end of 2020 the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital followed by a three-year transition period. The following table summarizesCompany adopted CECL on January 1, 2020. For additional information regarding the adoption of CECL, see “Item 1. Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” The Company has elected the transition provisions provided by the U.S. banking agencies’ rule. Accordingly, the regulatory capital effects resulting from adoption of the CECL methodology will not be fully reflected in the Company’s variousregulatory capital until January 1, 2025. Based on the Company’s regulatory capital position as of September 30, 2020, the estimated impact of adopting CECL would reduce the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio by approximately 49 basis points. The actual impact of adopting CECL on the regulatory capital ratios atmay change as the dates indicated:final impact is not determined until the end of the second year of the transition period.

The Company believes the tangible common equity ratio is an important measure of capital strength, even though it is considered a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation has been included in this section under the caption “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

48


Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”)GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, the Company provides other financial measures, such as core net interest income, core net interest margin, core efficiency ratios, tangible common equity, return on average assets, return on averagetangible common equity, and the tangible common equity ratio, in this report that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures.” Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that exclude (or include) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company considers its core net interest income, core net interest margin, core efficiency ratio, return on average assets, return on averagetangible common equity, and return on average tangible common equity, and the tangible common equity ratio, collectively “core performance measures,” presented in this report and the included tables as important measures of financial performance, even though they are non-GAAP measures, as they provide supplemental information by which to evaluate the impact of non-core acquired loans, which were acquired from the FDIC and previously covered by loss share agreements, and the related income and expenses, the impact of certain non-comparable items, and the Company’s operating performance on an ongoing basis. Core performance measures include contractual interest on non-core acquired loans, but exclude incremental accretion on these loans. Core performance measures also exclude expenses directly related to non-core acquired loans. Core performance measures also exclude certain other income and expense items, such as merger-related expenses, and the gain or loss on sale of investment securities, the Company believes to be not indicative of or useful to measure the Company’s operating performance on an ongoing basis. The attached tables contain a reconciliation of these core performance measures to the GAAP measures. The Company believes that the tangible common equity ratio provides useful information to investors about the Company’s capital strength even though it is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and is not part of the regulatory capital requirements to which the Company is subject.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance and capital strength. The Company’s management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing the Company’s operating results and related trends and when forecasting future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures and ratios should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the following tables, the Company has provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures and ratios to the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure for the periods indicated.

The disclosures set forth in this item are qualified by the section captioned “Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” included in Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report and other cautionary statements set forth elsewhere in this report.

Interest Rate Risk 

Our interest rate risk management practices are aimed at optimizing net interest income, while guarding against deterioration that could be caused by certain interest rate scenarios. Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We attempt to maintain interest-earning assets, comprised primarily of both loans and investments, and interest-bearing liabilities, comprised primarily of deposits, maturing or repricing in similar time horizons in order to minimize or eliminate any impact from market interest rate changes. In order to measure earnings sensitivity to changing rates, the Company uses an earnings simulation model.

The Company determines the sensitivity of its short-term future earnings to a hypothetical plus or minus 100 to 300 basis point parallel rate shock through the use of simulation modeling (due to the current level of interest rates, the 300 basis point downward shock scenario isscenarios are not shown in the table below.) The simulation of earnings includes the modeling of the balance sheet as an ongoing entity. Future business assumptions involving administered rate products, prepayments for future rate-sensitive balances, and the reinvestment of maturing assets and liabilities are included. These items are then modeled to project net interest income based on a hypothetical change in interest rates. The resulting net interest income for the next 12-month period is compared to the net interest income amount calculated using flat rates. This difference represents the Company’sThe Company uses an earning sensitivity model to track earnings sensitivity to a plus or minus 100 basis points parallel rate shock.

The following table summarizes the expected impact of interest rate shocks on net interest income:
Rate Shock1
Annual % change

+ 300 bp5.9%
+ 200 bp3.1%
+ 100 bp0.5%

6.0%
+ 200 bp4.1%
+ 100 bp2.3%
 - 100 bp(3.8)%
 - 200 bp(7.6)%

In addition to the rate shocks shown in the table above, the Company models net interest income under various dynamic
interest rate scenarios. Generally, positive changes in rates result in higher levels of net interest income, while scenarios based on declining rates, particularly those involving decreases in long-term rates, result in reduced net interest income.

At September 30, 2019, models resulting in2020, model scenarios based on a steeperflatter yield curve through a reduction in short-termlonger term rates over a 12-month horizon, as well as those based on stable short-term and modestly lower long-term rates, all result in a marginal decrease toin net interest income, while those based on higher rates and a steeper yield curve result in an increase in net interest income over a one-year forecast.12 month horizon.

At September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had $2.5$3.0 billion in variable rate loans that areincluding $2.5 billion based on LIBOR and $0.4$316 million that are based on Prime. Approximately 80%86% of the LIBOR based loans are indexed to one-month LIBOR. Of the total variable rate loans, $1.3 billion, or 44%, had a rate floor of which approximately $1.2 billion, or 89%, were currently priced at the floor.

The Company occasionally uses interest rate derivative financial instruments as an asset/liability management tool to hedge mismatches in interest rate exposure indicated by the net interest income simulation described above. They
52


are used to modify the Company’s exposures to interest rate fluctuations and provide more stable spreads between loan yields and the rate on their funding sources.




ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, as of September 30, 2019.2020. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 20192020 to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of the objectives described above.

Changes to Internal Controls

There were no changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, those controls.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In connection with itsParshall Litigation

Following the announcement on August 20, 2020 of the execution of the definitive agreement related to the Company’s acquisition of Trinity/LANB,SCBH and Seacoast, a lawsuit challenging the Company, as successor-in-interest to Trinity, is a party to certain consolidated proceedings pendingproposed transaction was filed in the First Judicial CircuitU.S. District Court for the StateDistrict of New Mexico, styled Trinity Capital Corporation, et al v. Atlantic Specialty Ins. Co., et al.Delaware. The lawsuit is captioned Parshall v. Seacoast Commerce Banc Holdings, et al., No. 1:99-cv-01300 (filed September 28, 2020).

This lawsuit challenging the proposed transaction is a putative class action filed on behalf of the shareholders of SCBH and names as defendants SCBH, its directors and EFSC. The complaint alleges that SCBH and its directors violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by failing to disclose certain facts about the financial projections of SCBH and EFSC and financial analysis performed by SCBH’s financial advisor. The complaint further alleges that EFSC and SCBH’s board of directors violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by acting as control persons. The action seeks, declaratoryamong other relief, defensean order enjoining completion of the proposed transaction.

The outcome of the pending litigation is uncertain. If the case is not resolved, this lawsuit could prevent or delay completion of the proposed transaction and result in substantial costs, the magnitude of which cannot be predicted at this time, to EFSC and damagesSCBH, including any costs associated with the indemnification of directors and officers. One of the conditions to the closing of the SCBH acquisition is that no injunction, order, judgement or decree prohibiting or making illegal completion of the transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated by the definitive agreement related to the transaction will be in effect. As such, if plaintiff were successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the completion of the SCBH acquisition on the agreed-upon terms, then such injunction may prevent the acquisition from being completed, or from being completed within the expected timeframe. The defense or
53


settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains unresolved at the time the SCBH acquisition is completed may adversely affect EFSC’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Such litigation is common in connection with acquisitions similar to the SCBH acquisition, regardless of any merits related to the underlying acquisition. In this instance, the defendants believe that the claims for bad faith breach of insurance contracts and violations of New Mexico insurance statutes. The insurance coverage at issueasserted against them in the lawsuit relatesare without merit and intend to regulatory proceedings commenced bydefend the OCC against LANB and the SEC against Trinity following an OCC bank examination in 2012. At the time, Trinity had in place a director and officer insurance policy that included coverage for the cost of defending against certain regulatory proceedings. Coverage was denied by the insurance company based on an alleged failure to give timely notice of a claim. Former Trinity/LANB officers, William Enloe, Jill Cook and Mark Pierce, also filed suits against the insurance company and Trinity/LANB which have been consolidated in the proceeding. The claims of William Enloe against Trinity/LANB relate to an alleged failure to provide timely noticelitigation vigorously.

In addition to the insurance company. The claims of Jill Cook and Mark Pierce relate to indemnification and alleged wrongful termination. The officers’ claims against Trinity/LANB have been stayed pending resolution of the claims against the insurance company. To date, the Company has received notice that all three former Trinity/LANB officers have each individually settled their claims with the insurance company.

In December 2018, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of Trinity/LANB finding that they had delivered timely notice to the insurance company as a matter of law. The insurance company filed a motion to reconsider which was subsequently heard and denied. The Company will next seek to prove up its damages at trial which is anticipated to occur in the first quarter of 2020. The Company also plans to vigorously defend itself against the officers’ claims. Due to the complex nature of this lawsuit the outcome and timing of ultimate resolution and recovery by the Company is uncertain.

In addition,described above, the Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to various legal proceedings arising out of their businesses. Management believes there are no suchthat neither the lawsuit described above nor any other legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries, which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.






ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

For information regarding risk factors affecting the Company, please see the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements in the introduction to Item 2 of Part I of this Report on Form 10-Q, and Part I, Item 1A of our Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, which is supplemented by the additional risk factorfactors set forth below. There

The recent global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led to periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities and other markets and could harm our business and results of operations.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Since then, COVID-19 infections have spread to additional countries including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, and there is no guarantee that our efforts to address or mitigate the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will be effective. The impact to date has included periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities and other markets. This volatility, if it continues, could have an adverse impact on our customers and on our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as our growth strategy.

Our business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The spread of COVID-19 has caused and could continue to cause severe disruptions in the U.S. economy at large, and has resulted and may continue to result in disruptions to our customers’ businesses, and a decrease in consumer confidence and business generally. In addition, recent actions by US federal, state and local governments to address the pandemic, including travel bans, stay-at-home orders and school, business and entertainment venue closures, may have a significant adverse effect on our customers and the markets in which we conduct our business. The extent of impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and other events beyond our control will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken to contain the COVID-19 or its impact, among others.

Disruptions to our customers could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and losses on our loans as well as declines in wealth management revenues. The escalation of the pandemic may also negatively impact regional economic conditions for a period of time, resulting in declines in local loan demand, liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral (particularly in real estate), loan originations and deposit availability. If the global response to contain COVID-19 escalates or is unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company has implemented restrictions on employee business travel, conversion of in-person meetings to virtual, and a work-from home mandate. The Company has also worked with its customers to implement appropriate loan deferral strategies in certain circumstances. These actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,
54


and similar actions by our vendors and business partners, have not materially impaired our ability to support our employees, conduct our business and serve our customers, but there is no assurance these actions will be sufficient to successfully mitigate the risks presented by COVID-19 or that our ability to operate will not be materially affected going forward. For instance, our business operations may be disrupted if key personnel or significant portions of our employees are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, if any of our vendors or business partners become unable to continue to provide their products and services, which we rely upon to maintain our day-to-day operations, our ability to serve our customers could be impacted.

The spread of the COVID-19 outbreak and the governmental responses may disrupt banking and other financial activity in the areas in which we operate and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues for us.

The outbreak of COVID-19 and the US federal, state and local governmental responses may result in a disruption in the services we provide. We rely on our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record, and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services or experience interruptions in their ability to provide us with these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact the ability of our employees and customers to engage in banking and other financial transactions in the geographic areas in which we operate and could create widespread business continuity issues for us. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to infection, quarantine or other effects and restrictions of a COVID-19 outbreak in our market areas. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective. If we are unable to promptly recover from such business disruptions, our business and financial conditions and results of operations would be adversely affected. We also may incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our participation in the SBA PPP loan program exposes us to risks related to noncompliance with the PPP, as well as litigation risk related to our administration of the PPP loan program, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is a participating lender in the PPP, a loan program administered through the SBA, that was created to help eligible businesses, organizations and self-employed persons fund their operational costs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program, the SBA guarantees 100% of the amounts loaned under the PPP. The PPP opened on April 3, 2020; however, because of the short window between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, there is some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, which exposes the Company to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP. For instance, other financial institutions have experienced litigation related to their process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company may be exposed to credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced. If a deficiency is identified, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from the Company.

Unpredictable future developments related to or resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Because there have been no material changescomparable recent global pandemics that resulted in similar global impact, we do not yet know the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on our business, operations, or the global economy as a whole. Any future development will be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of our work from home arrangements, third party providers’ ability to support our operation, and any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the risk factorspandemic. We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks, although the rapid development and
55


fluidity of the situation precludes any specific prediction as to its ultimate impact on us. However, if the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread or otherwise results in a continuation or worsening of the current economic and commercial environments, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios could be materially adversely affected and many of the risks described in suchour Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 will be heightened.

Increased regulatory oversight, uncertainty relatingThe COVID-19 pandemic could harm business and results of operations for each of the Company and SCBH and the combined company following the completion of the Seacoast acquisition.

The effect of COVID-19 and related events, including those described above and those not yet known or knowable, could have a negative effect on the stock price, business prospects, financial condition and results of operations of the Company, SCBH and the combined company. Notwithstanding any actions by national, state and local governments to mitigate the LIBOR calculation processimpact of COVID-19 or by the Company, SCBH and potential phasing outthe combined company to address the adverse impacts of LIBOR after 2021COVID-19, there can be no assurance that any of the foregoing activities will be successful in mitigating or preventing significant adverse effects on the Company, SCBH or the combined company. In particular, it may become more costly or more difficult for the combined company to realize anticipated synergies and cost savings in the amounts estimated or in the time frame contemplated or at all. Each of the Company, SCBH and the combined company may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could adversely affect theits financial condition and results of our operations.

On July 27, 2017,To the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulatesextent COVID-19 results in business disruption, if the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”), announced that it intendsCompany or SCBH are unable to stop persuading or compelling banksrecover from a business disruption on a timely basis, the merger and the combined company's business and financial conditions and results of operations following the completion of the merger would be adversely affected. The merger and efforts to submit rates forintegrate the calculationbusinesses of LIBOR after 2021. the Company and SCBH may also be delayed and adversely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.

The announcement indicatespending SCBH acquisition will, and future acquisitions may, dilute tangible book value.

The acquisition of SCBH will be an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $156 million as of the date of signing. The consideration payable to SCBH shareholders upon consummation of the acquisition will consist of whole shares of EFSC’s common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares of EFSC’s common stock. We anticipate issuing approximately 4.9 million shares of common stock to SCBH shareholders in connection with the acquisition, and we anticipate that the continuationtransaction will result in initial tangible book value dilution of LIBOR onapproximately 2.0% at the current basis cannottime of closing with an earnback period of less than three years. Future mergers or acquisitions, if any, may involve cash, debt or equity securities as transaction consideration. Acquisitions typically involve the payment of a premium over book and will not be guaranteed after 2021. It is impossible to predict whethermarket values, and, to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR, whether LIBOR rates will cease to be published or supported before or after 2021 or whether any additional reforms to LIBOR may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. Efforts in the United States to identify a set of alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rates include proposals by the ARRC of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Uncertainty as to the nature of alternative reference rates and as to potential changes in other reforms to LIBOR may adversely affect LIBOR rates and the value of LIBOR-based loans, and to a lesser extent securities in our portfolio, and may impact the availability and cost of hedging instruments and borrowings, including the rates we pay on our subordinated debentures. The Company has material contracts that are indexed to LIBOR. If LIBOR rates are no longer available, any successor or replacement interest rates may perform differently and we may incur significant costs to transition both our borrowing arrangements and the loan agreements with our customers from LIBOR, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. The impact of alternatives to LIBOR on the valuations, pricing and operationtherefore, some dilution of our financial instruments is not yet known.stock’s tangible book value and net income per common share may occur in connection with any future transaction.
