(b) Basis of Presentation

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. It is recommended that these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes be read with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“20162022 Annual Form 10-K”).10-K. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. In preparing2023.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented for the year end December 31, 2022 were derived from audited financial statements and do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
To prepare unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to makemakes estimates and assumptions thatbased on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expensesin the financial statements and related disclosures.the disclosures provided. Management believes that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statementsunaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are appropriate based on the facts and circumstances at the time. Actual results, however, could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to management's estimate of the ACL on investment securities, management's estimate of the ACL on loans, management's estimate of the ACL on unfunded commitments, management's evaluation of goodwill impairment and management's estimate of the fair value of financial instruments.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions among the Company and the Bank have been eliminated in consolidation.
There have been reclassifications in certain prior year amounts in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Reclassifications had no effect on the prior year's net income or stockholders’ equity.
(c) Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the Company'sunaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in greater detail in the 20162022 Annual Form 10-K. There have not been any material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from those contained in the 20162022 Annual Form 10-K except for accounting policies for stock-based compensation relating toduring the issuance of restricted stock units, including grants subject to performance-based and market-based vesting conditions, adopted January 1, 2017 as discussed below.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation cost is recognized for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period, generally defined as the vesting period, on a straight-line basis. Compensation cost for restricted stock units with market-based vesting is recognized over the service period to the extent the restricted stock units are expected to vest. With the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" or "Update") 2016-09 on January 1, 2017, forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
The market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used to determine the fair value of the restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated based on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Certain restricted stock unit grants are subject to performance-based vesting as well as other approved vesting conditions and

cliff vest based on those conditions, and the fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model include the expected term based on the valuation date and the remaining contractual term of the award; the risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury curve at the valuation date of the award; the expected dividend yield based on expected dividends being payable to the holders; and the expected stock price volatility over the expected term based on the historical volatility over the equivalent historical term.nine months ended September 30, 2023.
(d) Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASU 2014-092020-04, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersReference Rate Reform (Topic 848), as amended by ASU 2021-01, and ASU 2022-06 was issued in May 2014. UnderMarch 2020 and provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this Update,ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020. In December 2022, FASB createdamended this ASU and deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The amendments are elective, apply to all entities, and provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. Effective January 25, 2021, the Company adhered to the Interbank Offered Rate Fallbacks Protocol as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. and recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee. The majority of the Bank’s interest rate swap-related transactions indexed to LIBOR were transferred to another index during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The remaining instruments including loans and investments are either in the process of transition or will transition to a new Topic 606 which is in response to a joint initiative of FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and international financial reporting standards that would:
Remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements.
Provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues.
Improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets.
Provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements.
Simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer.
The original effective date for this Update was deferred in FASB ASU 2015-14 below.
FASB ASU 2015-14Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), was issued in August 2015 and defers the effective date of the above-mentioned FASB ASU 2014-09 for certain entities. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is now permitted, but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company expects to adopt the revenue recognition guidance on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.  A significant amount of the Company’s revenues are derived from net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the scope of the amended guidance.  With respect to noninterest income and related disclosures, the Company is in its preliminary stages of identifying and evaluating the revenue streams and underlying revenue contracts within the scope of the guidance. To date, the Company has not yet identified any significant changes in the timing of revenue recognition when considering the amended accounting guidance; however, the Company’s implementation efforts are ongoing and such assessments may change prior to the January 1, 2018 implementation date.

FASB ASU 2016-01Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10), was issued in January 2016, to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. This Update contains several provisions, including but not limited to 1) requiring equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) simplifying the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; 3) eliminating the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value; and 4) requiring separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. The Update also changes certain financial statement disclosure requirements, including requiring disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments be made on the basis of exit price. The Update is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Update willASU to have a significantmaterial impact on the Company’s statements of financial conditionits business operations or income.  Management is in the planning stages of developing processes and procedures to comply with the disclosures requirements of this Update, which could impact the disclosures the Company makes related to fair value of its financial instruments.
FASB ASU 2016-02Leases (Topic 842) was originally issued in February 2016, to increase transparency and comparability of leases among organizations and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Update sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The Update requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either a finance or operating lease. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a

lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. All cash payments will be classified within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Update is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company anticipates adopting the Update on January 1, 2019. Upon adoption of the guidance, the Company expects to report increased assets and increased liabilities on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as a result of recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to certain banking offices and certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements, which currently are not reflected in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.  During 2017, management began its evaluation of its leasing contracts and activities. Management is in the initial stages of developing its methodology to estimate the right-of use assets and lease liabilities. The Company anticipates electing an accounting policy to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less. The Company was committed to $14.7 million of minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating lease agreements at December 31, 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment will have a significant impact to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
FASB ASU 2016-082022-02, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersFinancial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 606)326): Principal versus Agent ConsiderationsTroubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, was issued in March 20162022. The ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for TDR loans by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and it clarifies the implementation guidance of the above-mentioned FASB ASU 2014-09 as it relates to principal versus agent considerations. The Update addresses identifying the unit of account and nature of the goods or services as well asrestructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the control principlerecognition and interactions withmeasurement guidance for TDRs, the control principle. The amendmentsentity will apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance to determine whether a modification or other form of restructuring results in a new loan or continuation of an existing loan. Additionally, the Update do not change the core principle of the guidance. The effective date, transition requirements and impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for this Update are the same as those described in FASB ASU 2015-14 above.
FASB ASU 2016-09Stock Compensation (Topic 718), issued in March 2016, is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. Forrequires public business entities the guidance is effectiveto disclose current-period gross write-offs

by year of origination for annual periods after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. Certain amendments are required to be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. Other amendments are applied retroactively (such as presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows) or prospectively (such as recognition of excess tax benefits on the income statement). The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017. The Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occurfinancing receivables and this change resulted in a cumulative adjustment that was immaterial to all periods presented. Changes to the statement of cash flows have been applied prospectively and the Company recorded excess tax benefits in its income tax expense. Adoption of all other changes under this Update did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
FASB ASU 2016-10Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, was issued in April 2016 which clarifies the implementation guidance of the above-mentioned FASB ASU 2014-09 as it relates to identifying performance obligations and licensing. The effective date, transition requirements and impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for this Update are the same as those described in FASB ASU 2015-14 above.
FASB ASU 2016-12Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, was issued in May 2016. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606. The effective date, transition requirements and impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for this Update are the same as those described in FASB ASU 2015-14 above.
FASB ASU 2016-13Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, was issued in June 2016. Commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss model ("CECL"), this Update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The amendment affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables and any other financial asset not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology, which generally only considered past events and current conditions, with a methodology that reflects the expected credit losses and required consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate all expected

credit losses. The Update additionally addresses purchased assets and introduces the purchased financial asset with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination ("PCD"). The accounting for these PCD assets is similar to the existing accounting guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, for purchased credit impaired ("PCI") assets, except the subsequent improvements in estimated cash flows will be immediately recognized into income, similar to the immediate recognition of subsequent deteriorations in cash flows. Current guidance only allows for the prospective recognition of these cash flow improvements. Because the terminology has been changed to a "more-than-insignificant" amount of credit deterioration, the presumption is that more assets might qualify for this accounting under the Update than those under current guidance. For public business entities, the Update isleases. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted for fiscal years after December 15, 2018. An entity will apply the Update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities. An entity that has previously applied the guidance of FASB ASC 310-30 will prospectively apply the guidance in this Update for PCD assets. A prospective transition approach should be used for PCD assets where upon adoption, the amortized cost basis should be adjusted to reflect the addition of the allowance for credit losses. The Company is anticipating adopting the Update on January 1, 2020. Upon adoption, the Company expects a change in the processes, internal controls and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. The new guidance may result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses which will also reflect the new requirement to include the nonaccretable principal differences on PCI loans; however, the Company is still in the process of determining the magnitude of the increase and its impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities available for sale will be replaced with an allowance approach. During 2017, the Company's management created a CECL steering committee which will begin developing and implementing processes and procedures to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date. To date, the CECL steering committee has reviewed proposals from several vendors to assist the Company in the adoption.
FASB ASU 2016-15Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, was issued in August 2016. The Update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period if an entity has adopted ASU 2016-13 and mustsuch election may be applied usingmade individually to adopt the guidance related to TDRs, including related disclosures, and the presentation of gross write-offs in the vintage disclosure. This update requires prospective transition for the disclosures related to loan restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and the presentation of gross write-offs in the vintage disclosures. The guidance related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs may be adopted on a prospective or modified retrospective transitional method to each period presented. transition method.
The Company has evaluatedadopted ASU 2022-02 on a prospective basis January 1, 2023. The Company elected at the newdate of adoption to account for existing TDR loans as of December 31, 2022 under the Company's TDR accounting policy which is disclosed in the 2022 Annual Form 10-K. All loan modifications post adoption are accounted for under the loan modification guidance and does not anticipate that itsin ASC 310-20.

FASB ASU 2017-032023-02, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments—Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements atAccounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings (SEC Update)Proportional Amortization Method (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force), was issued in January 2017.February 2023. The SEC staff view is that a registrant should evaluate FASB ASC Updates that have not yet been adopted to determine the appropriate financial disclosures about the potential material effects of the updates on the financial statements when adopted. If a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the impact of an update, then in addition to making a statement to that effect, the registrant should consider additional qualitative financial statement disclosures to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the impact. The staff expects the additional qualitative disclosures to include a description of the effect of the accounting policies expected to be applied compared to current accounting policies. Also, the registrant should describe the status of its process to implement the new standards and the significant implementation matters yet to be addressed. The amendments specifically addressed recent FASB ASC amendments to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses; Topic 842, Leases; and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers; although, the amendments apply to any subsequent amendments to guidance in the FASB ASC. The Company adopted the amendments in this Update duringASU permit companies to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the fourth quarter of 2016 and appropriate disclosures have been included in this Note for each recently issued accounting standard.

The amendments also require that a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge fordisclose certain information in annual and interim reporting periods that enable investors to understand the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss recognized, however, should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated toinvestments that reporting unit.

FASB ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities was issued in March 2017 and changes the accounting for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium to shorten the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date rather than to the maturity date. Accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount does not change. The discount would continue to amortize to the maturity date. The updated is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

The Company does not expect the Update will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The CompanyBank originates loans in the ordinary course of business and has also acquired loans through FDIC-assistedmergers and open bank transactions. Disclosures related toacquisitions. Accrued interest receivable was excluded from disclosures presenting the Company's recorded investment inBank's amortized cost of loans receivable generally exclude accrued interest receivableas it was deemed insignificant. In addition to originating loans, the Bank may also purchase loans through pool purchases, participation purchases and net deferred costs because they are insignificant.
Loans acquired in a business combination are further classified as “purchased” loans. Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that not all contractually required payments will be collected are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. These loans are identified as "PCI" loans. Loans purchased that are not accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30 are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, and are referred to as "non-PCI" loans.syndicated loan purchases.
(a) Loan Origination/Risk Management
The CompanyBank categorizes the individual loans in one of the four segments of the total loan portfolio:portfolio into four segments: commercial business, one-to-four familybusiness; residential real estate; real estate construction and land developmentdevelopment; and consumer. Within these segments are classes of loans for which management monitors and assesses credit risk in the loan portfolios. A detailed description of the portfolio segments and classes is contained in the 2022 Annual Form 10-K.
The CompanyBank has certain lending policies and proceduresguidelines in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and proceduresguidelines on a regular basis. A reporting system
16

supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problemcriticized loans. The CompanyBank also conducts internal loan reviews and validates the credit risk assessment on a periodic basis and presents the results of these reviews to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by loan officers and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.personnel.
A discussion of the risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment is as follows:
Commercial Business:
There are three significant classesThe amortized cost of loans in the commercial business portfolio segment: commercial and industrial, owner-occupied commercial real estate and non-owner occupied commercial real estate. The owner and non-owner occupied commercial real estate are both considered commercial real estate loans. As the commercial and industrial loans carry different risk characteristics than the commercial real estate loans, they are discussed separately below.
Commercial and industrial. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flowsreceivable, net of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may include a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial and industrial loans carry more risk than other loans because the borrowers’ cash flow is less predictable, and in the event of a default, the amount of loss is potentially greater and more difficult to quantify because the value of the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate, may be uncollectible, or may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things.

17



Commercial real estate. The Company originates commercial real estate loans primarily within its primary market areas. These loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans in that these loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate properties. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and paymentsACL on loans, and repayment is dependent on successful operation and management of the properties. The value of the real estate securing these loans can be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate market or the economy. There is little difference in risk between owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans.
One-to-Four Family Residential:
The majority of the Company’s one-to-four family residential loans are secured by single-family residences located in its primary market areas. The Company’s underwriting standards require that single-family portfolio loans generally are owner-occupied and do not exceed 80% of the lower of appraised value at origination or cost of the underlying collateral. Terms of maturity typically range from 15 to 30 years. The Company sells most of its single-family loans in the secondary market and retains a smaller portion in its loan portfolio.
Real Estate Construction and Land Development:
The Company originates construction loans for one-to-four family residential and for five or more family residential and commercial properties. The one-to-four family residential construction loans generally include construction of custom homes whereby the home buyer is the borrower. The Company also provides financing to builders for the construction of pre-sold homes and, in selected cases, to builders for the construction of speculative residential property. Substantially all construction loans are short-term in nature and priced with variable rates of interest. Construction lending can involve a higher level of risk than other types of lending because funds are advanced partially based upon the value of the project, which is uncertain prior to the project’s completion. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs as well as the market value of a completed project and the effects of governmental regulation of real property, the Company’s estimates with regard to the total funds required to complete a project and the related loan-to-value ratio may vary from actual results. As a result, construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project and the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property or refinance the indebtedness. If the Company’s estimate of the value of a project at completion proves to be overstated, it may have inadequate security for repayment of the loan and may incur a loss if the borrower does not repay the loan. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being dependent upon successful completion of the construction project, interest rate changes, government regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.
Consumer:
The Company originates consumer loans and lines of credit that are both secured and unsecured. The underwriting process for these loans ensures a qualifying primary and secondary source of repayment. Underwriting standards for home equity loans are significantly influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, a maximum loan-to-value percentage of 80%, collection remedies, the number of such loans a borrower can have at one time and documentation requirements. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed. The majority of consumer loans are for relatively small amounts disbursed among many individual borrowers which reduces the credit risk for this type of loan. To further reduce the risk, trend reports are reviewed by management on a regular basis.
The Company also originates indirect consumer loans. These loans are for new and used automobile and recreational vehicles that are originated indirectly by selected dealers located in the Company's market areas. The Company has limited its purchase of indirect loans primarily to dealerships that are established and well-known in their market areas and to applicants that are not classified as sub-prime.

(b) Concentrations of Credit
Most of the Company’sBank’s lending activity occurs within its primary market areas which are concentrated along the I-5 corridor from Whatcom County, Washington to ClarkLane County, in Washington State and Multnomah County in Oregon, as well as other contiguous markets. The majority ofYakima County in Washington and Ada County in Idaho. Additionally, the Company’sBank's loan portfolio consists of (in order of balances at September 30, 2017) non-owner occupiedis concentrated in commercial real estate,business loans, which include commercial and industrial, owner-occupied and owner-occupiednonowner-occupied CRE, and commercial and multifamily real estate. Asestate construction and land development loans. Commercial business loans are generally considered as having a more inherent risk of September 30, 2017default than residential real estate loans or other consumer loans. Also, the commercial loan balance per borrower is typically larger than that for residential real estate loans and December 31, 2016, there were no concentrations ofconsumer loans, related to any single industry in excess of 10% of the Company’s total loans.implying higher potential losses on an individual loan basis.
(c) Credit Quality Indicators
As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’sBank’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk grade of the loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) nonperforming loans, (v) past due status, and (v)(vi) the general economic conditions of the United States of America, and specifically the states of Washington and Oregon.
The CompanyBank utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 10. A descriptionRisk grades are aggregated to create the risk categories of Pass for grades 1 to 6, Special Mention or "SM" for grade 7, Substandard or "SS" for grade 8, Doubtful for grade 9 and Loss for grade 10. Descriptions of the general characteristics of the risk grades, is as follows:
Grades 1including qualitative information on how the risk grades relate to 5: These gradesthe risk of loss, are considered “pass grade” and include loans with negligible to above average but acceptable risk. These borrowers generally have strong to acceptable capital levels and consistent earnings and debt service capacity. Loans with the higher grades within the “pass” category may include borrowers who are experiencing unusual operating difficulties, but have acceptable payment performance to date. Increased monitoring of financial information and/or collateral may be appropriate. Loans with this grade show no immediate loss exposure.
Grade 6: This grade includes "Watch" loans and is considered a “pass grade”. The grade is intended to be utilized on a temporary basis for pass grade borrowers where a potentially significant risk-modifying action is anticipatedcontained in the near term.
Grade 7: This grade includes “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” (“OAEM”) loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and is intended to highlight loans with elevated risks. Loans with this grade show signs of deteriorating profits and capital, and the borrower might not be strong enough to sustain a major setback. The borrower is typically higher than normally leveraged, and outside support might be modest and likely illiquid. The loan is at risk of further decline unless active measures are taken to correct the situation.

19



Grade 8: This grade includes “Substandard” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, which the Company has determined have a high credit risk. These loans also have well-defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure likely, but not yet certain. The borrower may have shown serious negative trends in financial ratios and performance. Such loans may be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment or an event outside of the normal course of business. Loans with this grade can be placed on accrual or nonaccrual status based on the Company’s accrual policy.
Grade 9: This grade includes “Doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and the Company has determined these loans to have excessive credit risk. Such loans are placed on nonaccrual status and may be dependent upon collateral having a value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty. Additionally, these loans generally have a specific valuation allowance or have been partially charged-off for the amount considered uncollectible.
Grade 10: This grade includes “Loss” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and the Company has determined these loans have the highest risk of loss. Such loans are charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. “Loss” is not intended to imply that the loan or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt.
2022 Annual Form 10-K. Numerical loan grades for loans are established at the origination of the loan. LoanChanges to loan grades are reviewed onconsidered at the time new information about the performance of a quarterly basis, or more frequently if necessary, byloan becomes available, including the credit department. Thereceipt of updated financial information from the borrower, results of annual term loan reviews and scheduled loan reviews. For consumer loans, the Bank follows the FDIC’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy for subsequent classification in the event of payment delinquencies or default. Typically, an individual loan grade will not be changed from the prior period unless there is a specific indication of credit deterioration or improvement. Credit deterioration is evidenced by delinquency, direct communications with the borrower or other borrower information that becomes known to management. Credit improvements are evidenced by known facts regarding the borrower or the collateral property.
The loanLoan grades relate to the likelihood of losses in that the higher the grade, the greater the loss potential. Loans with a pass grade may have some estimated inherent losses, but to a lesser extent than the other loan grades. The OAEMSM loan grade is
17

transitory in that the CompanyBank is waiting on additional information to determine the likelihood and extent of theany potential loss. The likelihood of loss for OAEMSM graded loans, however, is greater than Watch graded loans because there has been measurable credit deterioration. Loans with a SubstandardSS grade are generallyhave further credit deterioration and include both accrual loans for which the Company has individually analyzed for potential impairment.and nonaccrual loans. For Doubtful and Loss graded loans, the CompanyBank is almost certain of the losses and the outstanding principal balances are generally charged-offcharged off to the realizable value.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, no interest income was recognized subsequent to a loan’s classification as nonaccrual. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Bank recorded $366,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, of interest income related to performing TDR loans. For the

three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Bank recorded $156,000 and $501,000, respectively, of interest income related to performing TDR loans.this classification.
(g) Modification of Loans
In January 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructured LoansRestructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. This guidance was applied on a prospective basis.
A TDR loan is a restructuring in which the Bank, for economic or legal reasons relatedModifications of loans to a borrower’sborrowers experiencing financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. TDRs are considered impaired and are separately measured for impairment under FASB ASC 310-10-35, whether on accrual ("performing") or nonaccrual ("nonperforming") status. The Company has more stringent definitions of concessions and impairment measures for PCI loans as these loans have known credit deterioration and are generally accreting income at a lower discounted rate as compared to the contractual note rate based on the guidance of FASB ASC 310-30.
The majority of the Bank’s TDR loans are a result of granting extensions of maturity on troubled credits which have already been adversely classified. The Bank grants such extensions to reassess the borrower’s financial status and to develop a plan for repayment. The second most prevalent concessions are certain modifications with extensions that alsodifficulty may include interest rate reductions. Certain TDRs were additionally re-amortized over a longer periodreductions, principal or interest forgiveness, term extensions, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of time. These modifications would all be considered a concession for a borrower that could not obtain similar financing terms from another source other than from the Bank.collateral.
The financial effectsfollowing table presents loan modifications by type of each modification will vary based on the specific restructure. For the majority of the Bank’s TDR loans, the loans were interest-only with a balloon payment at maturity. If the interest rate is not adjusted and the modified terms are consistent with other similar credits being offered, the Bank may not experience any loss associated with the restructure. If, however, the restructure involves forbearance agreements or interest rate modifications, the Bank may not collect all the principal and interest based on the original contractual terms. The Bank estimates the necessary allowance for loan losses on TDRs using the same guidance as used for other impaired loans.
The recorded investment balance and related allowance for loan losses of performing and nonaccrual TDR loans as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:

(1)Number of contracts and outstanding principal balance represent loans which have balances as of period end as certain loans may have been paid-down or charged-off during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
(2)Includes subsequent payments after modifications and reflects the balance as of period end. As the Bank did not forgive any principal or interest balance as part of the loan modification, the Bank’s recorded investment in each loan at the date of modification (pre-modification) did not change as a result of the modification (post-modification).

Of the 11 loans modified during the three months ended September 30, 2017, seven loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $2.1$11.3 million had no prior modifications. Of the 25 loans modified during the nine months

26



ended September 30, 2017, 15 loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $5.0 million had no prior modifications. Of the 19 loans modified during the three months ended September 30, 2016, eight loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $1.4 million had no prior modifications. Of the 30 loans modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, 15 loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $1.7 million had no prior modifications. The remaining loans included in the table above for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were previously reported as TDRs. The Bank typically grants shorter extension periods to continually monitor these TDRs despite the fact that the extended date might not be the date the Bank expects sufficient cash flow from these borrowers. The Company does not consider these modifications a subsequent default of a TDR as new loan terms, specifically new maturity dates, were granted. The potential losses related to these loans would have been considered in the period the loan was first reported as a TDR and are adjusted, as necessary, in the current period based on more recent information. The related specific valuation allowance at September 30, 2017 was $1.1 million for loans that were modified as TDRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
There was one commercial and industrial loan totaling $234,000 at September 30, 2017 that was modified during the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 because the borrower was more than 90 days delinquent on their scheduled loan payments. There were no loans that were modified during the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
(h) Purchased Credit Impaired Loans
The Company acquired loans and designated them as PCI loans, which are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30, in the Washington Banking Merger on May 1, 2014 and in previously completed acquisitions, including the FDIC-assisted acquisitions of Cowlitz Bank ("Cowlitz") and Pierce Commercial Bank ("Pierce") on July 30, 2010 and November 8, 2010, respectively, and the acquisitions of Northwest Commercial Bank ("NCB") on January 9, 2013 and Valley Community Bancshares, Inc.

At September 30, 2017, the carrying amount of other real estate owned that was the result of foreclosure and obtaining physical possession of residential real estate properties was $523,000. At September 30, 2017, the recorded investment of2023, there were no consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties (included in the one-to-four family residential loan class in Note (3) Loans Receivable) for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process process.

(4)Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The Company's methodology for determining the ACL on loans is based upon key assumptions, including the lookback periods, historic net charge-off factors, economic forecasts, reversion periods, prepayments and qualitative adjustments. The allowance is measured on a collective, or pool, basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share common risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation. For a description of the Company's ACL policy, see Note 1 - Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements included in Item 8. Financial Statements And Supplementary Data in our 2022 Annual Form 10-K.
GAAP requires the Company to develop reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions, and estimate how those forecasts are expected to impact a borrower’s ability to satisfy their obligation to the Company and the ultimate collectability of future cash flows over the life of a loan. The Company uses macroeconomic scenarios from an independent third party. These scenarios are based on past events, current conditions, the likelihood of future events occurring and include consideration of the forecasted direction of the economic and business environment and its likely impact on the estimated allowance as compared to the historical losses over the reasonable and supportable time frame. Economic forecast models for the current period are uploaded to the model, which targets certain forecasted macroeconomic factors, such as unemployment rate, gross domestic product, housing price index, commercial real estate price index, and certain rate and market indices. Macroeconomic factor multipliers are determined through regression analysis and applied to loss rates for each segment of loans with similar risk characteristics. Each of the forecasted segment balances is impacted by a mix of these macroeconomic factors. Further, each of the macroeconomic factors is utilized differently by segment, including the application of lagged factors and various transformations such as percent change year over year. A macroeconomic sensitive model is developed for each segment given the current and forecasted conditions and a macroeconomic multiplier is calculated for each forecast period considering the forecasted losses as compared to the long-term average actual losses of the dataset. The impact of those macroeconomic factors on each segment, both positive or negative, using the reasonable and supportable period, are added to the calculated baseline loss allowance. After the reasonable and supportable period, forecasted loss rates revert to historical baseline loss levels over the predetermined reversion period on a straight-lined basis.
At September 30, 2023, the Company upgraded the version of the model used to calculate the ACL for collectively evaluated loans. This new version includes changes to the macroeconomic variables used for each of the loan segments to either add or eliminate variables based upon regression testing and the relationship to expected results and the lookback period
24

was $657,000.changed to look back to 2000 as compared to 1991 to improve data relevance. The most significant changes to macroeconomic variables were in the commercial and industrial segment and commercial real estate segments. The commercial and industrial segment had previously used unemployment as a macroeconomic variable which was removed and replaced with a market index, rate index and real estate price index. The commercial real estate segments had previously used gross domestic product as a macroeconomic variable which was removed and replaced with a housing price index. The new version also added a segment for home equity lines of credit. The overall impact to the ACL for collectively evaluated loans due to this version change prior to applying qualitative adjustments was not considered to be material.

The Company recognizes that historical information used as the basis for determining future expected credit losses may not always, by itself, provide a sufficient basis for determining future expected credit losses. The Company, therefore, considers the need for qualitative adjustments to the ACL on a quarterly basis. Qualitative adjustments may be related to and include, but not be limited to, factors such as: (i) management’s assessment of economic forecasts used in the model and how those forecasts align with management’s overall evaluation of current and expected economic conditions, (ii) organization specific risks such as credit concentrations, collateral specific risks, regulatory risks, and external factors that may ultimately impact credit quality, (iii) potential model limitations such as limitations identified through back-testing, and other limitations associated with factors such as underwriting changes, acquisition of new portfolios and changes in portfolio segmentation, and (iv) management’s overall assessment of the adequacy of the ACL, including an assessment of model data inputs used to determine the ACL.
As of September 30, 2023, qualitative adjustments primarily relate to certain segments of the loan portfolio deemed by management to be of a higher-risk profile where management believes the quantitative component of the Company’s ACL model may not have fully captured the associated impact to the ACL. In addition, qualitative adjustments also relate to heightened uncertainty as to future macroeconomic conditions and the related impact on certain loan segments. Management reviews the need for an appropriate level of qualitative adjustments on a quarterly basis, and as such, the amount and allocation of qualitative adjustments may change in future periods.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the ACL on loans increased $3.9 million to $46.9 million from $43.0 million at December 31, 2022 due primarily to a provision for credit losses on loans of $3.1 million driven by growth in loans receivable, net and secondarily due to net recoveries of $895,000 as a result of a $1.1 million recovery from the payoff of a nonaccrual loan.

(5)Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(a) Goodwill
The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in the Washington Banking Merger on May 1, 2014, and the acquisitions of Valley on July 15, 2013, Western Washington Bancorp in 2006 and North Pacific Bank in 1998. The Company’s goodwill is assigned to the Bank and is evaluated for impairment at the Bank level (reporting unit).
There were no additions to goodwill during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2016.2022. Additionally, management analyzes its goodwill on an annual basis on December 31 and between annual tests in certain circumstances such as material adverse changes in legal, business, regulatory and economic factors. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company performed an annual impairment assessment as of December 31, 2022 and concluded that there was no impairment.
Due to a sustained decline in stock price during the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company determined a triggering event occurred and consequently performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill as of May 31, 2023. We estimated the fair value of the reporting unit by weighting results from the market approach and the income approach. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill were employed and included, but were not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, discount rates, and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. Based on this quantitative test, we determined that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeded the carrying value.
At September 30, 2017,2023, the Company’s step-one analysisCompany determined that no material adverse changes had occurred since the quantitative assessment was performed as of May 31, 2023 and concluded that the reporting unit’s fair value was greater than its carrying value and thereforethere continues to be no goodwill impairment charges were required, or recorded, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Similarly, no goodwill impairment charges were required, or recorded, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Even though there was no goodwill impairment at September 30, 2017, adverse events may impact the recoverability of goodwill and could result in a future impairment charge which could have a material impact on the Company’s operating results.goodwill.
(b) Other Intangible Assets
TheOther intangible assets represent core deposit intangible acquired in business combinations with estimated useful lives of ten years. There were no additions to other intangible assets represent the core deposit intangible ("CDI") acquired in business combinations. The useful life of the CDI related to the Washington Banking Merger, the acquisitions of Valley, NCB and Cowlitz were estimated to be ten, ten, five and nine years, respectively.

(7)Other Borrowings
(a) Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
The Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Des Moines functions as a member-owned cooperative providing credit for member financial institutions. Advances are made pursuant to several different programs. Each credit program

33



has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Limitations on the amount of advances are based on a percentage of the Bank's assets or on the FHLB’s assessment of the institution’s creditworthiness. At September 30, 2017, the Bank maintained a credit facility with the FHLB of Des Moines for $662.4 million and had short-term FHLB advances outstanding of $117.4 million with maturity dates within 30 days. At December 31, 2016 there were FHLB advances outstanding of $79.6 million.
The following table sets forth the details of FHLB advances during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2016:2022.

Advances from the FHLB are collateralized by a blanket pledge on FHLB stock owned by the Bank, deposits at the FHLB, certain one-to-four single family residential loans or other assets, principally investment securities which are obligations of or guaranteed by the United States or other assets. In accordance with the pledge agreement, the Company must maintain unencumbered collateral in an amount equal to varying percentages ranging from 100% to 160% of outstanding advances depending on the type of collateral.

(b) Federal Funds Purchased
The Bank maintains advance lines with Wells Fargo Bank, US Bank, The Independent Bankers Bank and Pacific Coast Bankers’ Bank to purchase federal funds of up to $90.0 million as of September 30, 2017. The lines generally mature annually or are reviewed annually. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no federal funds purchased.
(c) Credit facilities
The Bank maintains a credit facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for $50.6 million as of September 30, 2017, of which there were no borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. Any advances on the credit facility would have to be first secured by the Bank's investment securities or loans receivable.

(8)Junior Subordinated Debentures
As part of the Washington Banking Merger, the Company assumed trust preferred securities and junior subordinated debentures with a total fair value of $18.9 million at the May 1, 2014 merger date.
Washington Banking Master Trust, a Delaware statutory business trust, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Washington Banking created for the exclusive purposes of issuing and selling capital securities and utilizing sale proceeds to acquire junior subordinated debt issued by Washington Banking. During 2007, the Trust issued $25.0 million of trust preferred securities with a 30-year maturity, callable after the fifth year by Washington Banking. The trust preferred securities have a quarterly adjustable rate based upon the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.56%. On the Washington Banking Merger date of May 1, 2014, the Company acquired the Trust, which retained the Washington Banking Master Trust name, and assumed the performance and observance of the covenants under the indenture related to the trust preferred securities.
The adjustable rate of the trust preferred securities at September 30, 2017 was 2.89%. The weighted average rate of the junior subordinated debentures was 5.20% and 5.05% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and 4.49% and 4.43% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The weighted average rate includes the accretion of the discount established at the merger date which is amortized over the life of the trust preferred securities.
The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trust and payments under the junior subordinated debentures are the sole revenues of the Trust. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance of the junior subordinated debentures, net of unaccreted discount, was $19.9 million and $19.7 million, respectively. All of the common securities of the Trust are owned by the Company. Heritage has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the capital securities along with all obligations of the Trust under the trust agreements.

(9)Repurchase Agreements
The Company utilizes repurchase agreements with one-day maturities as a supplement to funding sources. Repurchase agreements are secured by pledged investment securities available for sale. Under the repurchase agreements, the Company is required to maintain an aggregate market value of securities pledged greater than the balance of the repurchase agreements. The Company is required to pledge additional securities to cover any declines below the balance of the repurchase agreements. For additional information on the total value of investment securities pledged for repurchase agreements see Note (2) Investment Securities.

(10)Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company has entered into certain interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. The purpose of these derivative contracts is primarily to providefacilitate the needs of its commercial business loan customers the ability to convert their loans from variable to fixedwhereby it enters into an interest rates. Upon the origination of a derivative contractrate swap with a customer while at the Company simultaneously enterssame time entering into an offsetting derivative contractinterest rate swap with another financial institution. The transaction allows the Company’s customer to effectively convert a third party in ordervariable rate loan to offset its exposure on the variable anda fixed rate components ofloan, or a fixed rate loan to a variable rate loan, and the customer agreement. The Company recognizes immediate income based upon the difference in the bid/ask spread of the underlying transactions with its customers and the third party, which is recorded inthird-party. These interest rate swap fees onswaps are not designated as hedging instruments.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as part of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Becausetransaction. However, the Company acts only as an intermediary for its customer subsequenttherefore changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts for the most part offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations.
Fee income related to interest rate swap derivative contract transactions is recorded in Interest rate swap fees on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of derivative positions outstanding is included in Prepaid expenses and other assets and Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The gains and losses due to changes in fair value and all cash flows are included in Other income in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, but typically net to zero based on the identical back-to-back interest rate swap derivative contracts unless a credit valuation adjustment is recorded to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement. Various factors impact changes in the credit valuation adjustments over time, including changes in the risk ratings of the parties to the contracts, as well as changes in market rates and volatilities, which affect the total expected exposure of the derivative instruments.

(14)Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received forto sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants onat the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow the Company to sell its ownership interest back to the fund at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities, or funds.
Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or valuations using methodologies with observable inputs.
Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques using unobservable inputs, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.
(a) Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to measure the fair value of certain assets on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:
Investment Securities Available for Sale:
The fair values of all investment securities are based upon the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the security. If available, fair values of investment securities are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1). For investment securities where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices on similar
29

securities (Level 2). For investment securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated by using observable and unobservable inputs such as discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). SecurityInvestment security valuations are obtained from third partythird-party pricing servicesservices.
Collateral-Dependent Loans:
Collateral-dependent loans are identified for comparable assets or liabilities.
Impaired Loans:
At the time a loan is considered impaired, its impairment is measured based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the observable market price, or the fair market valuecalculation of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Impaired loans for which impairment is measured using the discounted cash flow approach are not considered to be measured at fair value because the loan’s effective interest rate is generally not a fair value input, and for the purposes of fair value disclosures, the fair value of these loans are measured commensurate with non-impairedACL on loans. If the Company utilizes the fair market value of the collateral method, theThe fair value used to measure impairmentcredit loss for this type of loan is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals.appraisals which are generally obtained at least every 18 months or earlier if there are changes to risk characteristics of the underlying loan. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. The Bank also incorporates an estimate of cost to sell the collateral when the sale is probable. Such adjustments are usuallymay be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value based on the borrower’s financial statements or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the clientcustomer and client’scustomer’s business (Level 3). ImpairedIndividually evaluated loans are evaluatedanalyzed for credit loss on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and the ACL on loans is adjusted accordingly.
Other Real Estate Owned:
Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonlyas required based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.results.
Appraisals for bothon collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers for commercial properties or certified residential appraisers for residential properties whose

qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company.Bank. Once received, the CompanyBank's internal appraisal department reviews and approves the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On a quarterly basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been liquidated to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
The CompanyBank obtains broker or dealer quotes to value its interest rate derivative contracts, which use valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2), and incorporates credit valuation adjustments to reflect nonperformance risk in the measurement of fair value (Level 3). Although the Bank has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate swap derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as borrower risk ratings, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustment on the overall valuation of its interest rate swap derivatives and determined the credit valuation adjustment was not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate swap derivatives. As a result, the Bank has classified its interest rate swap derivative valuations in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Because broadlyBroadly traded markets do not exist for most of the Company’s financial instruments,instruments; therefore, the fair value calculations attempt to incorporate the effect of current market conditions at a specific time. These determinations are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and do not include tax ramifications; therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision, substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the instruments. There may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results. For all of these reasons, the aggregation of the fair value calculations presented herein dodoes not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.

The methodsBank had no cash restrictions at September 30, 2023 and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows:December 31, 2022.
Cash
(10)Commitments and Cash Equivalents:Contingencies
The fair valueIn the ordinary course of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to carrying value (Level 1).
Federal Home Loanbusiness, the Bank Stock:
FHLB stock is not publicly traded; thus, it is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.
Loans Held for Sale:
The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts or quotes from third party investors for similar loans. (Level 2).
Loans Receivable:
Except for certain impaired loans discussed previously, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life (Level 3). While these methodologies are permitted under U.S. GAAP, they are not based on the exit price concept of the fair value required under FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and generally produce a higher value.
Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable:
The fair value of accrued interest receivable/payable balances approximates the carrying value. The fair value measurements are commensurate with the asset or liability from which the accrued interest is generated (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3).

45


Deposits:
For deposits with no contractual maturity, the fair value is assumed to equal the carrying value (Level 1). The fair value of certificate of deposit accounts is based on discounted cash flows using the difference between the deposit rate and the rates offered by the Company for deposits of similar remaining maturities (Level 2).
Federal Home Loan Bank advances:
The fair value of FHLB advances is estimated based on discounting the future cash flows using the market rate currently offered (Level 2).
Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase:
Securities sold under agreement to repurchase are short-term in nature and they reprice on a daily basis. Fair value financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to carrying value (Level 1).
Junior Subordinated Debentures:
The fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current rates for similarmay enter into various types of debt, which many be unobservable, and considering recent trading activity of similar instruments in markets which can be inactive (Level 3).
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments:
The majority of ourtransactions that include commitments to extend credit standbythat are not included in its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank applies the same credit standards to these commitments as it uses in all its lending activities and has included these commitments in its lending risk evaluations. The majority of the commitments presented below are variable rate. Loan commitments can be either revolving or non-revolving. The Bank’s exposure to credit and market risk under commitments to extend credit is represented by the amount of these commitments.
The following table presents outstanding commitments to extend credit, including letters of credit, and commitments to sell mortgage loans carry current market interest rates if converted to loans. As such, no premium or discount was ascribed to these commitments (Level 1). They are excluded fromat the preceding tables.dates indicated:

(15)Commitments and Contingencies
In June 2016, the Company received preliminary findings from the Washington State Department of Revenue ("DOR") regarding its business and occupation ("B&O") tax audit on the B&O tax returns of Whidbey Island Bank for the years 2010-2014. The state B&O tax is a gross receipts tax and is calculated on the gross income from activities. It is measured on the value of products, gross proceeds of sale, or gross income of the business. A substantial portion of the preliminary findings related to the receipt of FDIC shared-loss payments from the FDIC to Washington Banking Company in connection with its acquisitions of City Bank in April 2010 and North County Bank in September 2010. In their preliminary findings, the DOR is considering those payments as taxable for B&O tax purposes. The total amount of this preliminary finding, along with calculated back interest, is approximately $1.6 million. Management is in discussions with the DOR as to whether these payments should be taxable for B&O tax purposes. Given the uncertainty of the outcome of these discussions, management's estimates of the Company's ultimate liability, if any, involve significant judgment and are based on currently available information and an assessment of the validity of facts and calculations assumed by the DOR. Management does not believe a material loss is probable at this time and there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that future changes to the Company's estimates of loss and the ultimate amount paid for resolution of this B&O audit could impact the Company's results of operations in future periods. Any such losses would be reported as a noninterest expense in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income.
ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(16)Definitive Agreement
On July 26, 2017 the Company announced the execution of a definitive agreement with Puget Sound under which Heritage will acquire Puget Sound in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $126.1 million based on the closing price of Heritage common stock of $27.15 on July 26, 2017. Puget Sound is a business bank headquartered in Bellevue, Washington with one branch location. Under the terms of the agreement, Puget Sound shareholders will receive 1.320 shares of Heritage common stock for each share of Puget Sound common stock, subject to potential adjustment. The value of the consideration will fluctuate until closing based on the value of Heritage's stock price and may be adjusted by a cap and collar in certain circumstances. The definitive agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both Heritage and Puget Sound. The merger is subject to regulatory approvals, approval by Puget Sound shareholders and certain other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.2023. The information contained in this section should be read together with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included herein, the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements included herein and the December 31, 20162022 audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and the accompanying Notes included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.10-K.


Overview
Heritage Financial Corporation is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the business activities of our wholly-owned financial institution subsidiary, Heritage Bank. We provide financial services to our local communities with an ongoing strategic focus on our commercial banking relationships, market expansion and asset quality. At September 30, 2017, we had total assets of $4.05 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $507.6 million. The Company’s business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report relates primarily to the Bank’s operations.
Our business consists primarily of commercial lending and deposit relationships with small to medium sized businesses and their owners in our market areas and attracting deposits from the general public. We also make real estate construction and land development loans and consumer loans. We additionally originate for sale or for investment purposes one-to-four family residential real estate loans on residentialsingle family properties located primarily in our markets.
33

Our core profitability depends primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on interest earning assets, comprised primarily of loans and investment securities, and interest expense, which is the amount we pay on our interest bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits.deposits and borrowings. Management strives to matchmanages the repricing characteristics of the Company's interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve. Like most financial institutions, our net interest income is significantly affected significantly by general and local economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates including most recently significant changes as a result of inflation, and by governmental policies and actions of regulatory agencies. Net interest income is additionally affected by changes onin the volume and mix of interest earning assets, interest earned on these assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities and interest paid on these liabilities.
Our net income is affected by many factors, including the provision for loan losses.credit losses on loans. The provision for loancredit losses on loans is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio and management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio as well as prevailing economic and market conditions. The allowance for loan lossesManagement believes that the ACL on loans reflects the amount that we believe is appropriate to provide for probable incurredcurrent expected credit losses in our loan portfolio.portfolio based on our methodology.
Net income is also affected by noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income primarily consists of service charges and other fees, gain on sale of loans (net)card revenue and other income. Noninterest expense consists primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing and data processing.professional services. Compensation and employee benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses are the fixed and variable costs of buildings and equipment, and consist primarily of lease payments,expenses, depreciation charges, maintenance and costs of utilities. Data processing consists primarily of processing and network services related to the Bank’s core operating system, including the account processing systems,system, electronic payments processing of products and services, and internet and mobile banking channels.channels and software-as-a-service providers. Professional services consist primarily of third-party service providers such as auditors, consultants and lawyers.
Results of operations may also be significantly affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in accounting, tax, and regulatory rules, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Otherauthorities, including changes resulting from inflation and the governmental actions taken to address this issue. Net income and other expenses areis also impacted by growth of operations through organic growth or acquisitions. See also "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Recent Developments
Since March 2022, inflationary pressures have resulted in higher costs for consumers and businesses. To address inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) has taken steps to tighten monetary policy through a cumulative 525 basis point increase to the federal funds rate from March 2022 through September 30, 2023. Management notes that the rapid intervals of rate increases by the Federal Reserve and flattening or inversion of the yield curve, have boosted expectations of the US entering a recession within the next 12 months. Should these ongoing economic pressures persist, we anticipate it could have an impact on the following:
Loan growth and interest income - If economic activity begins to wane, it may have an impact on our borrowers, the businesses they operate, and their financial condition. Our borrowers may have less demand for credit needed to invest in and expand their businesses, as well as less demand for real estate loans. Such factors would place pressure on the level of interest-earning assets, which may negatively impact our interest income.
Credit quality - Should there be a decline in economic activity, the markets we serve could experience increases in unemployment, declines in consumer confidence, and a reluctance on the part of businesses to invest in and expand their operations, among other things. Such factors may result in weakened economic conditions, place strain on our borrowers, and ultimately impact the credit quality of our loan portfolio. We expect this could result in increases in the numberlevel of past due, nonaccrual, and classified loans, as well as higher net charge-offs. While economic conditions have generally been favorable thus far, notwithstanding higher levels of inflation, there can be no assurance favorable economic conditions will continue. As such, should we experience future deterioration in the credit quality of our loan portfolio, it may contribute to the need for additional provisions for credit losses.
ACL - The Company is required to record credit losses on certain financial assets in accordance with the CECL model stipulated under ASC 326, which is highly dependent upon expectations of future economic conditions and requires management judgment. Should expectations of future economic conditions deteriorate, the Company may be required to record additional provisions for credit losses.
Impairment charges - If economic conditions deteriorate, it could adversely impact the Company’s operating results and the value of certain of our assets. As a result, the Company may be required to write-down the value of certain assets such as goodwill, intangible assets, or deferred tax assets when there is evidence to suggest their value has become impaired or will not be realizable at a future date.
AOCI - Unrealized gains and losses on AFS investment securities are recognized in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If economic conditions deteriorate, and/or if the interest rates continue to increase, the valuation of the Company’s AFS investment securities could be negatively impacted, which may lead to increases in other comprehensive loss, decreases to the Company’s stockholders’ equity.
Deposits and deposit costs - Given the significant rate increases by the FOMC, it is likely that deposit costs will continue to increase and it may become more challenging for the Company to retain and attract deposit relationships.
Liquidity - Consistent with our prudent, proactive approach to liquidity management, we may take certain actions to further enhance our liquidity, including but not limited to, increasing our FHLB borrowings, and increasing our brokered deposits.
34

Further, recent developments and events in the financial services industry, including the failures of two large U.S. banks in the span of three days during March 2023 and another failure in early May 2023, created industry-wide concerns related to liquidity, deposit outflows, uninsured deposit concentrations and eroding consumer confidence in the banking system. These events have occurred against the backdrop of a rapidly rising interest rate environment which, among other things, has resulted in unrealized losses in longer duration securities and loans held by banks and more competition for bank deposits. While many factors played a role in the ultimate failures, these institutions had significant industry/demographic concentrations within their deposit bases and high ratios of uninsured deposits. Lack of diversity within a deposit base may increase the risk of events or trends that could prompt a larger-scale demand for deposits outflow. Further, concerns over a financial institution's ability to protect deposit balances in excess of the federally insured limit may increase the risk of a deposit run.
Heritage’s business, overall financial condition and depositor profiles differ substantially from the banking institutions that are the focus of the recent bank failures. We consider our deposit base to be seasoned, stable and well-diversified, and we do not have any significant industry concentrations among our non-insured deposits. At September 30, 2023, our average deposit account size, calculated by dividing period-end deposits by the population of accounts with balances, was approximately $52,000. The recent industry events and developments have not had a material impact on our financial condition, operations, customer base, liquidity capital position or risk profile, nor have they required us to make any significant changes to our interest rate risk and asset/liability management policies following a review by our Asset Liability Committee. Nevertheless, in response to these recent developments, we have (1) reviewed our contingent liquidity funding plan, including validating procedures and reviewing execution risks in the event of a sudden critical liquidity event, (2) enhanced communication with our customers by holding a bank-wide training session to provide client-facing personnel with information on FDIC insurance, alternative product offerings, and data demonstrating the financial strength of the Bank, and (3) enhanced our monitoring of deposit flows and liquidity including monitoring of (i) deposits by segment, region and location, (ii) liquidity levels and (iii) transaction volumes to better enable us to detect any potential material changes in our financial condition.
Notwithstanding the above, the continued effects of recent industry events and developments could materially and adversely impact our business or financial condition, including through acquisitionspotential liquidity pressures, reduced net interest margins, and corepotential increased credit losses. Moreover, these recent events and developments have, and could continue to, adversely impact the market price and volatility of Heritage’s securities. These recent events may also result in changes to laws or regulations governing banks and bank holding companies or result in the impositions of restrictions through supervisory or enforcement activities, including higher capital requirements, which could have a material impact on our business. The cost of resolving the recent failures may prompt the FDIC to increase its premiums above the recently increased levels or to issue additional special assessments. We are generally unable to control the amount of premiums or special assessments that our banking business growth.subsidiary may be required to pay for FDIC insurance.

The Company continues to focus on serving its customers and communities, maintaining the well-being of its employees, and executing its strategic initiatives. The Company continues to monitor the economic environment and makes changes as appropriate.

The Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 64.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 64.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The improvement in the efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to the increases in noninterest income and net interest income.
Net Interest Income and Margin Overview
One of the Company's key sources of earnings is net interest income. There are several factors that affect net interest income, including, but not limited to, the volume, pricing, mix and maturity of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities; the volume of noninterest earning assets, noninterest bearing demand deposits, and other noninterest bearing liabilities and stockholders' equity; the volume of noninterest earning assets; market interest rate fluctuations; and asset quality.

As of the dates of the completion of each of the merger and acquisition transactions, purchased loans were recorded at their estimated fair value, including our estimate of future expected cash flows until the ultimate resolution of these credits. The difference between the contractual loan balance and the fair value represents the purchased discount. The purchased discount is modified quarterly as a result of cash flow re-estimation. The incremental accretion income represents the amount of income recorded on the purchased loans in excess of the contractual stated interest rate in the individual loan notes.
Incremental accretion income was $1.0 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in the incremental accretion was primarily a result of a continued decline in the purchased loan balances and a decrease in the prepayments of purchased loans during the three months ended September 30, 20172023 compared to the same period in 2016. The incremental accretion is expected to continue to decrease as the balance of the purchased loans continues to decrease.
Total interest income increased primarily due to the increase in interest and fees on loans discussed above and secondarily due to a $348,000, or 8.4%, increase in interest income on investment securities to $4.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in income on investment securities was a result of an increase in average investment yields for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, offset partially by a decrease in the average balance of investment securities. Average yields on taxable securities increased 25 basis points to 2.20% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 1.95%3.57% for the same period in 2016. Average yields on nontaxable securities increased 17 basis points to 2.34% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 2.17% for the same period in 2016. The average balance of investment securities decreased $22.8 million, or 2.8%, to $791.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $814.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The Company has actively managed its investment securities portfolio to mitigate declining trends in loan yields.2022.
Average other interest earning assets increased $29.7 million, or 69.2%, to $72.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $42.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest earning deposits, as the Bank held more funds in interest earning accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense increased $825,000, or 54.7%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2016. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 11 basis points to 0.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.25% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of increases in market rates. Total average interest bearing liabilities increased by $138.6 million, or 5.8%, to $2.55 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $2.41 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
The average cost of interest bearing deposits increased six basis points to 0.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.21% for the same period in 2016 primarily as a result of increases in both the average balance and cost of certificates of deposit and an increase in the average cost of savings accounts.
Interest expense on certificates of deposit increased $165,000, or 35.3%, to $633,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $468,000 for the same period in 2016 due to increases in the average balance and the cost of the certificates of deposits accounts. The average balance of certificates of deposits increased $15.9 million, or 4.2%, to $394.3 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $378.4 million for the same period in 2016. The cost of certificates of deposits increased 15 basis points to 0.64% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.49% for the same period in 2016.

Interest expense on savings accounts increased $146,000, or 68.2%, to $360,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $214,000 for the same period in 2016 due primarily to the 12 basis point increase of the cost of the savings accounts to 0.29% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.17% for the same period in 2016.
Interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $420,000, or 52.5%, to $428,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $8,000 for the same period in 2016 due to a combination of an increase in both average balances and cost of funds. The average balance for FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $105.7 million, or 1,881.0%, to $111.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $5.6 million for the same period in 2016, due primarily to fund loan growth. The average rate of the FHLB advances for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 1.53%, an increase of 96 basis points from 0.57% for the same period in 2016, due primarily to continued increases in short-term borrowing rates over the last year.
The average rate of the junior subordinated debentures, including the effects of accretion of the discount established as of the date of the merger with Washington Banking Company, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 5.20%, an increase of 71 basis points from 4.49% for the same period in 2016. The rate increase on the debentures was due to an increase in the three-month LIBOR rate to 1.33% at September 30, 2017 from 0.85% on September 30, 2016.

Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased ten basis points to 3.85% from 3.95% for the same period in 2016 primarily due to the decline in the incremental accretion on purchased loans, as discussed below. The net interest spread for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased 13 basis points to 3.75% from 3.88% for the same period in 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the above mentioned increases in the cost of funds of interest bearing liabilities.
Net interest margin is impacted by the incremental accretion on purchased loans. The following table presents the net interest margin and effects of the incremental accretion on purchased loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

As of the dates of the completion of each of the merger and acquisition transactions, purchased loans were recorded at their estimated fair value, including our estimate of future expected cash flows until the ultimate resolution of these credits. The difference between the contractual loan balance and the fair value represents the purchased discount. The purchased discount is modified quarterly as a result of cash flow re-estimation. The incremental accretion income represents the amount of income recorded on the purchased loans in excess of the contractual stated interest rate in the individual loan notes.
Incremental accretion income was $3.7 million and $5.7$210.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.2023, compared to $161.4 million for the same period in 2022.

The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest earning deposits, as the Bank held more funds in interest earning accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco compared to the same period in 2016.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 32.7%, to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2016.

The average balance for FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $94.9 million to $106.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $11.6 million for the same period in 2016, due primarily to fund loan growth. The average rate of the FHLB advances and other borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 1.09%, an increase of 55 basis points from 0.54% for the same period in 2016.
The average rate of the junior subordinated debentures, including the effects of accretion of the discount established as of the date of the merger with Washington Banking Company, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 5.05%, an increase of 62 basis points from 4.43% for the same period in 2016. The rate increase on the debentures was due to an increase in the three-month LIBOR rate to 1.33% at September 30, 2017 from 0.85% on September 30, 2016.

Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased 11 basis points to 3.89% from 4.00% for the same period in 2016 primarily due to the decline in the incremental accretion on purchased loans, as discussed below. The net interest spread for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased 14 basis points to 3.79% from 3.93% for the same period in 2016. This decrease was primarily due to the above mentioned decrease in average yields on total interest earning assets and increase in the average cost of funds of total interest bearing liabilities.
Net interest margin is impacted by the incremental accretion on purchased loans. The following table presents the net interest margin and effects of the incremental accretion on purchased loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

Provision for LoanCredit Losses Overview
The Bank has established a comprehensive methodologyaggregate of the provision for determining its allowancecredit losses on loans and the provision for loancredit losses on unfunded commitments is presented on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the (reversal of) provision for credit losses. The allowance for loan lossesACL on unfunded commitments is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to expense, and is reduced by loans charged-off, net of loan recoveries or a recovery of previous provision. For additional information, see the section entitled "Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses" below.
The provision for loan losses is dependentincluded on the Bank’s ability to manage asset qualityunaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition within accrued expenses and control the level of net charge-offs through prudent underwriting standards. In addition, a decline in general economic conditions could increase future provisions for loan losses and have a material effect on the Company’s net income.other liabilities.

The reversal of provision for credit losses on loans was $635,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.52023 due primarily to net recoveries of $1.2 million primarily due to the payoff of a nonaccrual loan. Future assessments of the expected credit losses will not only be impacted by changes in the composition of and amount of loans and to the reasonable and supportable forecast, but will also include an updated assessment of qualitative factors, as well as consideration of any required changes in the reasonable and supportable forecast reversion period. The reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2016. 2023 was due primarily to an increase in loan utilization rates in commercial and industrial loans which reduced the unfunded exposure.

The balance of nonaccrual loans increased $43,000, or 0.4%, to $11.0 million ($2.5 million guaranteed by governmental agencies)non-owner occupied CRE, at September 30, 20172023. Of this total, $283.7 million, or 50.0%, were owner-occupied CRE loans. Owner-occupied CRE loans have a lower risk profile as there is less tenant rollover risk and generally have guarantees from $10.9the company occupying the space as well as the owners of the company. The average loan balance of owner-occupied CRE and non-owner occupied CRE was $1.2 million ($2.8 million guaranteed by governmental agencies) at December 31, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to additions to nonaccrual loans of $5.1 million, offset partially by net principal reductions of $4.3 million and charge-offs of $750,000. The other real estate owned balance decreased to $523,000 at September 30, 2017 from $754,000 at December 31, 2016 primarily as a result of the sale of two properties.2023.
Performing TDRCommercial and multifamily construction loans increased $96.0 million or 44.8% due to new loan originations and advances on outstanding loans. New commitments for commercial and multifamily construction loans were $20.0 million and $22.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The $2.2 million, or 10.1%, decrease in performing TDR loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of net principal payments of $8.3 million and loans transferred to nonaccrual of $1.1 million, partially offset by troubled loans restructured during the period of $7.1 million. At September 30, 2017 and

61


December 31, 2016, the Company had an allowance for loan losses on the performing TDR loans of $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Potential problem loans as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $84.1 million and $87.8 million, respectively. Potential problem loans are those loans that are currently accruing interest and are not considered impaired, but which we are monitoring because the financial information of the borrower causes concerns as to their ability to meet their loan repayment terms. Loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are both well secured and in the process of collection. The $3.7 million, or 4.2%, decrease in potential problem loans was primarily the result of net principal payments of $18.9 million, loans transferred to held for sale of $5.8 million, loans transferred to nonaccrual status of $4.6 million and loan grade improvements of $4.4 million, partially offset by the addition of loans graded as potential problem loans of $31.4$209.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2023.

Consumer loans decreased $22.5 million primarily due to a $33.1 million decline in indirect loans outstanding as the Bank ceased originating indirect auto loan originations in 2020.

Impact of environmental factors, including:

We calculate an appropriate ALLNonaccrual loans decreased $2.8 million, or 48.1%, due primarily to ongoing collection efforts including the payoff of a commercial business loan for loans in our loan portfolio, except PCI loans, by applying historical loss factors$1.6 million which also included a recovery of $1.1 million recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Allowance for homogeneous classes of the portfolio, adjusted for changes to the above-noted environmental factors. We may record specific provisions for impaired loans, including loansCredit Losses on nonaccrual status and TDRs, after a careful analysis of each loan’s credit and collateral factors. Our analysis of an appropriate ALL combines the provisions made for our non-impaired loans and the specific provisions made for each impaired loan.
The allowance for loan losses on loans designated as non-PCI loans is similar to the methodology described above except that for non-PCI loans, the remaining unaccreted discounts resulting from the fair value adjustments recorded at the time the loans were purchased are additionally factored into the allowance methodology.
For the PCI loans, the acquisition date fair value incorporated our estimate of future expected cash flows until the ultimate resolution of these credits. To the extent actual or projected cash flows are less than previously estimated, additional provisions for loan losses on the PCI loan portfolio will be recognized immediately into earnings. To the extent actual or projected cash flows are more than previously estimated, the increase in cash flows is recognized immediately as a recapture of provision for loan losses up to the previously recognized provision for that loan or pool of loans, if any, and then prospectively recognized in interest income as a yield adjustment.
While we believe we use the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, our results of operations could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance. A decline in national and local economic conditions, or other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of their routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional allowance for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Stockholders' Equity Overview
The allowance for loan lossesCompany’s stockholders' equity to assets ratio was 11.4% at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Total stockholders' equity increased $15.7 million, or 2.0%, to $31.4$813.5 million at September 30, 20172023 from $31.1$797.9 millionat December 31, 2016.2022. The increase was thedue primarily to $55.5 million in net income recognized, offset partially by $23.3 million in cash dividends declared, an increase of $12.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of provisiondeclining fair values of investment securities available for loan lossessale, and $6.9 million for the repurchase of $2.9 million, partially offset by net charge-offs of $2.6 million recordedthe Company's common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2023.
The Company has historically paid cash dividends to its common shareholders. Payments of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our business, operating results and financial condition, capital requirements, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion, any legal or contractual limitation on our ability to pay dividends and other relevant factors. Dividends on common stock from the Company depend substantially upon receipt of dividends from the Bank, which included PCI loan pool charge-offsis the Company’s predominant source of $1.7 million. income. On October 18, 2023, the Company’s board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.22 per common share payable on November 15, 2023 to shareholders of record on November 1, 2023.

Regulatory Requirements Overview
The allowance for loan lossesCompany is a bank holding company under the supervision of the Federal Reserve Bank. Bank holding companies are subject to loans receivable, net, decreasedcapital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. The Bank is a federally insured institution and thereby is subject to 1.12% atthe capital requirements established by the FDIC. The Federal Reserve capital requirements generally parallel the FDIC requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital above 2.5% to avoid restrictions on certain activities including payment of dividends, stock repurchases and discretionary bonuses to executive officers. Management believes that as of September 30, 2017 from 1.18% at December 31, 2016.2023, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
The ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) on loans to average loans, annualized deteriorated to net charge-off of 0.32% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net recoveries of 0.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to PCI loan pool charge-offs of $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) on loans to average loans, annualized improved to a net charge-off of 0.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The improvement of the ratio was due primarily to fewer net charge-offs recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 in addition to growth in the loan portfolio.
Nonperforming loans were $11.0 million and $10.9 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, or 0.39% and 0.41% of loans receivable, net, respectively. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 286.71% at September 30, 2017 and 284.93% at December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2017,2023 and December 31, 2022, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank identified $31.0 millionas well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's categories. The following table presents the actual capital ratios of impaired loans,the Company and the Bank at the periods indicated:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents and investment securities to meet short-term liquidity needs and actively monitor our long-term liquidity position to ensure the availability of capital resources for contractual obligations, strategic loan losses was established on purchased loansgrowth objectives and to fund operations. Our funding strategy has been to acquire non-maturity deposits from our retail accounts, and noninterest bearing demand deposits from our commercial customers and to use our borrowing availability to fund growth in assets. Our liquidity policy permits the purchase of brokered deposits in an amount not to exceed 15% of the Bank's total deposits as the loans were accounteda secondary source for at their fair value and a discount was established for the loans.funding. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the remaining fair value discount for these purchased loans was $11.72023, we had $107.5 million and $13.5 million, respectively.

While the Bank believes it has established its existing allowances for loan losses in accordance with U.S. GAAP, there can be no assurance that bank regulators, in reviewing the Bank’s loan portfolio, will not request the Bank to increase significantly its allowance for loan losses. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is appropriate or that increased provisions will not be necessary should the credit qualitybrokered deposits, which constituted 1.91% of the loans deteriorate. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses would adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Based on management’s assessment of loan quality and current economic conditions, the Company believes that its allowance for loan losses was appropriate to absorb the probable incurred losses and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2017.

Certificate of deposit accounts increased $37.8 million, or 10.6%, to $395.2 million at September 30, 2017 from $357.4 million at December 31, 2016 due primarily to the addition of $44.1 million of brokered certificates of deposit, which were used to supplement deposit growth in the funding of loan growth. Based on the change in the mix and volume of deposits, the percentage of certificates of deposit to total deposits increased to 11.9% at September 30, 2017 from 11.1% at December 31, 2016.
deposits. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in other sources of funds (such as deposit inflows at less than projected levels). Borrowings may also be used on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending activities and match the maturity of repricing intervals of assets. The Bank is utilizing securities sold under agreement to repurchase as a supplement to its funding sources. Our repurchase agreements are secured by available for sale investment securities. At September 30, 2017, the Bank had securities sold under agreement to repurchase of $28.7 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 29.7%, from $22.1 million at December 31, 2016. The increase was the result of customer activity during the period.
The Company also has junior subordinated debentures with a par value of $25.0 million which pay quarterly interest based on three-month LIBOR plus 1.56%. The debentures mature in 2037. The balance of the junior subordinated debentures was $19.9 million at September 30, 2017, which reflects the fair value of the debentures established during the Washington Banking Merger, adjusted for the accretion of discount from purchase accounting fair value adjustment.
At September 30, 2017, the Bank maintained credit facilities with the FHLB of Des Moines for $662.4 million and credit facilities with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for $50.6 million. The Company had FHLB advances outstanding of $117.4 million and $79.6 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The average cost of the FHLB advances during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was1.09%. The Bank also maintains lines of credit with four correspondent banks to purchase federal funds totaling $90.0 million as of September 30, 2017. There were no federal funds purchased as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
We are required to maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, satisfy other financial commitments and fund operations. We generally maintain sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At September 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $111.3 million, or 2.7% of total assets. The fair value of investment securities available for sale totaled $800.1 million at September 30, 2017 of which $257.0 million were pledged to secure public deposits or borrowing arrangements. The fair value of investment securities available for sale that were not pledged totaled $543.1 million, or 13.4%, of total assets at September 30, 2017. The fair value of investment securities available for sale with maturities of one year or less were $6.6 million, or 0.2%, of total assets at September 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Cash Flows
Our primary sources of funds are customer and local government deposits, loan principal and interest payments, loan sales and interest earned on and proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities. These funds, together with retained earnings, equity and other borrowed funds, are used to make loans, acquire investment

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting estimates are described in detail in the "Critical Accounting Estimates" section within Item 7 of our 2022 Annual Form the Form 10-K. The SEC defines "critical accounting estimates" as those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in future periods. The Company's critical accounting estimates include estimates of the ACL on loans, the ACL on unfunded commitments and goodwill. There have been no material changes in these estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and primarily consisted of net income of $31.8 million, net proceeds from origination and sale of loans held for sale of $2.2 million and net change in accrued interest receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $8.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was $169.9 million, which consisted primarily of net loan originations of $178.8 million, investment in low income housing tax credit partnerships of $8.5 million and net proceeds from purchase and sale of investment securities available for sale of $3.4 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $123.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and primarily consisted of a net increase in deposits of $91.2 million, net FHLB advances of $37.8 million and a net increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $6.6 million, offset partially by cash dividends on common stock of $11.4 million during the period.2023.


Capital and Capital Requirements
Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2017 was $507.6 million compared with $481.8 million at December 31, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company realized net income of $31.8 million, declared cash dividends of $11.4 million, recorded other comprehensive income of $4.4 million, recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million, and recorded a net decrease to common stock due to common stock repurchases and exercises of stock options, net of tax, of $515,000.
Pursuant to minimum capital requirements of the FDIC effective on January 1, 2015, all FDIC-insured financial institutions, including Heritage Bank, are required to maintain a minimum common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio to average assets of 4.0% and minimum risk-based capital ratios of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0% and 8.0%, respectively.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized Heritage Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s categories. The following table provides our capital requirements and actual results.

Although new capital requirements were effective on January 1, 2015, certain provisions of the new rule will be phased-in from the effective date through 2019, including, among others, a new capital conservation buffer requirement, which requires financial institutions to maintain a common equity capital ratio more than 2.5% above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. The new capital conservation buffer requirement began to be phased-in on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will continue to increase by 0.625% on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019. At September 30, 2017, the capital conservation buffer was 5.07% and 4.65% for the Company and the Bank, respectively, and the minimum conservation buffer requirement was 1.25%.
Quarterly, the Company reviews the potential payment of cash dividends to its common shareholders. The timing and amount of cash dividends paid on our common stock depends on the Company’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. Dividends on common stock from the Company depend substantially upon receipt of dividends from the Bank, which is the Company’s predominant source of income. On October 25, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.13 per common share and a special dividend of $0.10 per common share payable on November 22, 2017 to shareholders of record on November 8, 2017.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss due to changes in market values of assets and liabilities. We incur market risk in the normal course of business through our exposure to market interest rates, equity prices and credit spreads. Our results of operations are highly dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. We considerprimary market risk is interest rate risk, to be a significantwhich is the risk of loss of net interest income or net interest margin resulting from changes in market risk that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.interest rates. Interest rate risk is measuredresults primarily from the traditional banking activities in which the Bank engages, such as gathering deposits and assessedextending loans. Many factors, including economic and financial conditions, movements in interest rates and consumer preferences, affect the difference between the interest earned on a quarterly basis. In our opinion, there has not been a material changeassets and the interest paid on our liabilities. Management regularly reviews our exposure to changes in ourinterest rates. Among the factors considered are changes in the mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, interest rate spreads and repricing periods. The risk committee of the Board of Directors oversees market risk management, including the monitoring of risk measures and limits and policy guidelines, for the amount of interest rate risk exposure sinceand its effect on net interest income and capital.
Neither we, nor the information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
We do notBank, maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument, nor do we, or the Bank, engage in hedging activities or purchase high-riskhigh risk derivative instruments. Moreover, neither we, have no materialnor the Bank, are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.

Net interest income simulation
An income simulation model is the primary tool we use to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest rates. Modeling the sensitivity of net interest income is highly dependent on numerous assumptions incorporated into the modeling process. Key assumptions in the model include prepayment speeds on loans and investment securities, repricing betas on non-maturity deposits, and pricing on investment securities, loans, and borrowings. In order to measure the interest rate risk sensitivity, this simulation model uses a “no balance sheet growth” assumption and assumes an instantaneous and sustained uniform change in market interest rates at all maturities. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the net interest income projections should be viewed as an estimate of the net interest income sensitivity at the time of the analysis. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

Based on the results of the simulation model, the following table presents the change in our net interest income as a result of parallel rate shock scenarios for the presented periods after the dates shown:

The simulations used to manage market risk are based on numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of reprice characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and actual results will differ, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower net interest income.

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedureprocedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Company’s Disclosure Committee as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017 are2023 were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act iswas (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2017,2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company does not expect that its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
