TEXAS CAPITAL BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—UNAUDITED
(1) OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Business
Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in November 1996 and commenced banking operations in December 1998. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Texas Capital Bank, National Association (the “Bank”). We serve the needs of commercial businesses and successful professionals and entrepreneurs located in Texas as well as operate several lines of business serving a regional and national clientele of commercial borrowers. We are primarily a secured lender, with our greatest concentration of loans in Texas.
Basis of Presentation
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and to generally accepted practices within the banking industry. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures presented in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments and the disclosures made are adequate to make the interim financial information not misleading. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2014,2015, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 201518, 2016 (the “2014“2015 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for loan losses, the fair value of stock-based compensation awards, the fair values of financial instruments and the status of contingencies are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term.

Loans Held for Sale
Through our Mortgage Correspondent Aggregation ("MCA") program, we commit to purchase residential mortgage loans from independent correspondent lenders and deliver those loans into the secondary market via whole loan sales to independent third parties or in securitization transactions to government sponsored entities ("GSEs") such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. In some cases, we retain the mortgage servicing rights. Once purchased, these loans are classified as held for sale and are carried at fair value pursuant to our election of the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825 "Financial Instruments". At the commitment date, we enter into a corresponding forward sale commitment with a third party, typically a GSE, to deliver the loans within a specified timeframe. The estimated gain/loss for the entire transaction (from initial purchase commitment to final delivery of loans) is recorded as an asset or liability. Fair value is derived from observable current market prices, when available, and includes the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights. Adjustments to reflect unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value and realized gains and losses upon ultimate sale of the loans are classified as non-interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.

(3) SECURITIES
At September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, our net unrealized gain on the available-for-sale securities portfolio was $1.4$1.1 million compared to $2.0$1.1 million at December 31, 2014.2015. As a percent of outstanding balances, the unrealized gain was 4.47%3.90% and 4.99%3.83% at September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2014,2015, respectively. The decreaseincrease in the unrealized gain percentage at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 is related to the reduction in the portfolio balance due to paydowns and maturities.

At September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we owned one security with an unrealized loss position. This security is a publicly traded equity fund and is subject to market pricing volatility. We do not believe this unrealized loss is “other-than-temporary”. We have evaluated the near-term prospects of the investment in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment and based on that evaluation have the ability and intent to hold the investment until recovery of fair value.

Commercial Loans and Leases. Our commercial loan and lease portfolio is comprised of lines of credit for working capital and term loans and leases to finance equipment and other business assets. Our energy production loans are generally collateralized with proven reserves based on appropriate valuation standards and take into account the risk of oil and gas price volatility. Our commercial loans and leases are underwritten after carefully evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably. Our underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than to make loans on a transactionaltransaction basis. Our lines of credit typically are limited to a percentage of the value of the assets securing the line. Lines of credit and term loans typically are reviewed annually, or more frequently, as needed, and are supported by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other assets of our clients’ businesses.
Mortgage Finance Loans. Our mortgage finance loans consist of ownership interests purchased in single-family residential mortgages funded through our mortgage finance group. These interestsloans are typically held on our balance sheet for 10 to 20 days. We have agreements with mortgage lenders and purchase interests in individual loans they originate. All loans are underwritten consistent with established programs for permanent financing with financially sound investors. Substantially all loans are conforming loans. Balances as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015 balances are stated net of $425.0$515.4 million and $358.3$454.8 million participations sold, respectively.
Construction Loans. Our construction loan portfolio consists primarily of single- and multi-family residential properties and commercial projects used in manufacturing, warehousing, service or retail businesses. Our construction loans generally have terms of one to three years. We typically make construction loans to developers, builders and contractors that have an established record of successful project completion and loan repayment and have a substantial equity investment in the borrowers. Loan amounts are derived primarily from the bank'sBank's evaluation of expected cash flows available to service debt from stabilized projects under hypothetically stressed conditions. Construction loans are also based in part upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from other lenders, sales of developed property, or an interim loan commitment from us until permanent financing is obtained. The nature of these loans makes ultimate repayment sensitive to overall economic conditions. Borrowers may not be able to correct conditions of default in loans, increasing risk of exposure to classification, non-performing status, reserve allocation and actual credit loss and foreclosure. These loans typically have floating rates and commitment fees.
Real Estate Loans. A portion of our real estate loan portfolio is comprised of loans secured by properties other than market risk or investment-type real estate. Market risk loans are real estate loans where the primary source of repayment is expected to come from the sale, permanent financing or lease of the real property collateral. We generally provide temporary financing for commercial and residential property. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Our real estate loans generally have maximum terms of five to seven years, and we provide loans with both floating and fixed rates. We generally avoid long-term loans for commercial real estate held for investment. Real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Appraised values may be highly variable due to market conditions and the impact of the inability of potential purchasers and lessees to obtain financing and a lack of transactions at comparable values.

11


At September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, we had a blanket floating lien on certain real estate-secured loans, mortgage finance loans and certain securities used as collateral for Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings.
Portfolio Geographic Concentration
As of September 30, 2015, a substantial majority of our loans held for investment, excluding our mortgage finance loans and other national lines of business, were to businesses with headquarters and operations in Texas. This geographic concentration subjects the loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within this area. Additionally, we may make loans to these businesses and individuals secured by assets located outside of Texas. The risks created by this concentration have been considered by management in the determination of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at each balance sheet date.
Summary of Loan Loss Experience
The reserveallowance for loan losses is comprised of specific reserves for impaired loans and an estimate of losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date, but not yet identified with specified loans. We regularly evaluate our reserve for loan losses to maintain an appropriate level to absorb estimated loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Factors contributing to the determination of reserves include the credit-worthiness of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral and general economic conditions. All loan commitments rated substandard or worse and greater than $500,000 are specifically reviewed for loss potential. For loans deemed to be impaired, a specific allocation is assigned based on the losses expected to be realized from those loans. For purposes of determining the general reserve, the portfolio is segregated by product types to recognize differing risk profiles among categories, and then further segregated by credit grades. Credit grades are assigned to all loans. Each credit grade is assigned a risk factor, or reserve allocation percentage. These risk factors are multiplied by the outstanding principal balance and risk-weighted by product type to calculate the required reserve. A similar process is employed to calculate a reserve assigned to off-balance sheet commitments, specifically unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit, and any needed reserve is recorded in other liabilities. Even though portions ofconsider the allowance may be allocated to specific loans, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.
We have several pass credit grades that are assigned to loans based on varying levels of risk, ranging from credits that are secured by cash or marketable securities, to watch credits which have all the characteristics of an acceptable credit risk but warrant more than the normal level of monitoring. Within our criticized/classified credit grades are special mention, substandard and doubtful. Special mention loans are those that are currently protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower, but that are potentially weak and constitute an additional credit risk. The loan has the potential to deteriorate to a substandard grade due to the existence of financial or administrative deficiencies. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Some substandard loans are insufficiently protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower and of the collateral pledged and may be considered impaired. Substandard loans can be accruing or can be on non-accrual depending on the circumstances of the individual loans. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high. All doubtful loans are on non-accrual.
The reserve allocation percentages assigned to each credit grade have been developed based primarily on an analysis of our historical loss rates. The allocations are adjusted for certain qualitative factors for such things as general economic conditions and changes in credit policies and lending standards. Changes in the trend and severity of problem loans can cause the estimation of losses to differ from past experience. In addition, the reserve reflects the results of reviews performed by the Company's independent Credit Review function as reflected in their confirmations of assigned credit grades within the portfolio. The Credit Review function reports to the Credit Risk Committee of the Company's board of directors with administrative oversight from the Company's Chief Risk Officer. The portion of the allowance that is not derived by the allowance allocation percentages compensates for the uncertainty and complexity in estimating loan and lease losses including factors and conditions that may not be fully reflected in the determination and application of the allowance allocation percentages. Examples of risks that support the Company's maintaining an unallocated reserve include the possibility of precipitous negative changes in economic conditions and borrowers' submission of financial statements or certifications of collateral value that subsequently prove to be materially inaccurate for reason of either misstatement or omission of critical information. These situations, while not common, do not necessarily correlate well with the general risk profile presented by assigned credit grade and product type categories. We evaluate many factors and conditions in determining the unallocated portion of the allowance, including amount and frequency of losses attributable to issues not specifically addressed or included in the determination and application of the allowance allocation percentages. We consider the allowanceat March 31, 2016 to be appropriate, given management’smanagement's assessment of probablepotential losses withininherent in the portfolio as of the evaluation date, the significant growth in the loan and lease portfolio, current economic conditions in the Company’sour market areas and other factors.

The methodology used in the periodic review of reserve appropriateness, which is performed at least quarterly, is designed to be dynamic and responsive to changes in portfolio credit quality. The changes are reflected in the general reserve and in specific reserves as the collectability of larger classified loans is evaluated with new information. As our portfolio has matured, historical loss ratios have been closely monitored, and our reserve appropriateness relies primarily on our loss history. The review of reserve appropriateness is performed by executive management and presented to a committee of our board of directors for their review. The committee reports to the board as part of the board’s review on a quarterly basis of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The following tables summarize the credit risk profile of our loan portfolio by internally assigned grades and non-accrual status as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015 (in thousands):

We have traditionally maintained an unallocatedadditional qualitative reserve component to compensate for the uncertainty and complexity in estimating loan and lease losses including factors and conditions that may not be fully reflected in the determination and application of the allowance allocation percentages. We believe the level of unallocatedadditional qualitative reserves at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 is warranted due to the continued uncertain economic environment which has produced losses, including those resulting from borrowers' misstatement of financial information or inaccurate certification of collateral values. Such losses are not necessarily correlated with historical loss trends or general economic conditions. Our methodology used to calculate the allowance considers historical losses; however, the historical loss rates for specific product types or credit risk grades may not fully incorporate the effects of continued weakness in the economy.economy and continued volatility in the energy sector.

Generally we place loans on non-accrual when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the remaining unpaid principal amount of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. If collectability is questionable, then cash payments are applied to principal. As of September 30, 2015, $884,000March 31, 2016, $824,000 of our non-accrual loans were earning on a cash basis compared to $310,000$884,000 at December 31, 2014.2015. A loan is placed back on accrual status when both principal and interest are current and it is probable that we will be able to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the loan agreement.

A loan held for investment is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the loan agreement. In accordance with ASC 310 Receivables ("ASC 310"), we have also included all restructured loans in our impaired loan totals. The following tables detail our impaired loans, by portfolio class, as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015 (in thousands):

(1)Loans past due 90 days and still accruing includes premium finance loans of $6.2$6.1 million. These loans are generally secured by obligations of insurance carriers to refund premiums on canceled insurance policies. The refund of premiums from the insurance carriers can take 180 days or longer from the cancellation date.
Restructured loans are loans on which, due to the borrower’s financial difficulties, we have granted a concession that we would not otherwise consider for borrowers of similar credit quality. This may include a transfer of real estate or other assets from the borrower, a modification of loan terms, or a combination of the two. Modifications of terms that could potentially qualify as a restructuring include reduction of the contractual interest rate, extension of the maturity date at a contractual interest rate lower than the current rate for new debt with similar risk, a reduction of the face amount of debt or forgiveness of either principal or accrued interest. As of September 30, 2015At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014, we2015, had $249,000 and $1.8 million, respectively, in loans considered restructured that arewere not on non-accrual. These loans did not have unfunded commitments at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2014.2015. Of the non-accrual loans at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014, $26.12015, $37.9 million and $12.1$24.9 million, respectively, met the criteria for restructured. These loans had no unfunded commitments at their respective balance sheet dates. A loan continues to qualify as restructured until a consistent payment history or change in borrower’s financial condition has been evidenced, generally no less than twelve months. Assuming that the restructuring agreement specifies an interest rate at the time of the restructuring that is greater than or equal to the rate that we are willing to accept for a new extension of credit with comparable risk, then the loan no longer has to be considered a restructuring if it is in compliance with the modified terms in calendar years after the year of the restructure.

The restructured loans generally include terms to temporarily place loans on interest only, extend the payment terms or reduce the interest rate. We did not forgive any principal on the above loans. The restructuring of the loans did not have a significant impact on our allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 or 2014.2015.

(6) CERTAIN TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS


Through our Mortgage Correspondent Aggregation ("MCA") business, we commit to purchase residential mortgage loans from correspondent lenders and deliver those loans into the secondary market via whole loan sales to independent third parties or in securitization transactions to government sponsored entities ("GSEs") such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. We have elected to carry these loans at fair value based on sales commitments and market quotes. Changes in the fair value of the loans held for sale are included in other non-interest income.
Residential mortgage loans are subject to both credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk is managed through underwriting policies and procedures, including collateral requirements, which are generally accepted by the secondary loan markets. Exposure to interest rate fluctuations is partially managed through forward sales contracts, which set the price for loans that will be delivered in the next 60 to 90 days.
The table below presents the unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale and related fair values at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):
 March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015
Unpaid Principal Balance90,006
 82,853
Fair Value94,702
 86,075
Fair Value Over/(Under) Unpaid Principal Balance4,696
 3,222

No loans held for sale were 90 days or more past due or considered impaired as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and no credit losses were recognized on loans held for sale for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
The differences between the fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance include changes in fair value recorded at and subsequent to purchase, gains and losses on the related loan purchase commitment prior to purchase and premiums or discounts on acquired loans.
We generally retain the right to service the loans sold, creating mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") which are recorded as assets on our balance sheet. A summary of MSR activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows (in thousands):
Servicing asset: 
    Balance, beginning of year$423
    Capitalized servicing rights3,903
    Amortization(40)
Balance, end of period4,286
Valuation allowance: 
    Balance, beginning of year$
    Increase in valuation allowance$33
Balance, end of period$33
Fair value$4,253
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our servicing portfolio of residential mortgage loans sold included 1,470 and 168 loans, respectively, with an outstanding principal balance of $380.2 million and $39.0 million, respectively. In connection with the servicing of these loans, we maintain escrow funds for taxes and insurance in the name of investors, as well as collections in transit to investors. These escrow funds are segregated and held in separate non-interest-bearing bank accounts at the Bank. These deposits, included in total non-interest-bearing deposits on the consolidated balance sheets, were $2.9 million at March 31, 2016 and $240,000 at December 31, 2015.
For loans securitized and sold for the three months ended March 31, 2016 with servicing rights retained, management used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of MSRs at the date of the securitization or sale:
Average discount rates9.85%
Expected prepayment speeds10.67%
Weighted-average life, in years6.5


In conjunction with the sale and securitization of loans held for sale, we may be exposed to liability resulting from recourse agreements and repurchase agreements. If it is determined subsequent to our sale of a loan that the loan sold is in breach of the representations or warranties made in the applicable sale agreement, we may have an obligation to either (a) repurchase the loan for the unpaid principal balance, accrued interest and related advances, (b) indemnify the purchaser against any loss it suffers or (c) make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of the loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we originated or purchased and sold approximately $342.6 million of mortgage loans to GSEs.
Our repurchase, indemnification and make whole obligations vary based upon the terms of the applicable agreements, the nature of the asserted breach and the status of the mortgage loan at the time a claim is made. We establish reserves for estimated losses of this nature inherent in the origination of mortgage loans by estimating the probable losses inherent in the population of all loans sold based on trends in claims and actual loss severities experienced. The reserve will include accruals for probable contingent losses in addition to those identified in the pipeline of claims received. The estimation process is designed to include amounts based on actual losses experienced from actual repurchase activity.
Because the MCA business commenced in late 2015, we have no historical data to support the establishment of a reserve. The baseline for the repurchase reserve uses historical loss factors obtained from industry data that are applied to loan pools originated and sold from September 2015 through March 31, 2016. The historical industry data loss factors and experienced losses will be accumulated for each sale vintage (year loan was sold) and applied to more recent sale vintages to estimate inherent losses not yet realized. Our estimated exposure related to these loans was $178,000 at March 31, 2016 and is recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We had no losses due to repurchase, indemnification or make-whole obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
(7) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit whichthat involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to

19



extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
The table below summarizes our off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represented credit risk (in thousands):

(7)(8) REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory (and possibly additional discretionary) actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve published final rules for the adoption of the Basel III regulatory capital framework (the "Basel III Capital Rules"). The Basel III Capital Rules, among other things, (i) introduceintroduced a new capital measure called "Common Equity Tier 1" ("CET1"), (ii) specifyspecified that Tier 1 capital consist of CET1 and "Additional Tier 1 Capital" instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) definedefined CET1 narrowly by requiring that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital and (iv) expandexpanded the scope of the deductions/adjustments as compared to existing regulations. The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for us on January 1, 2015 with certain transition provisions fully phased in on January 1, 2019.
Quantitative measures established by these regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of CET1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, each as defined in the regulations. Management believes, as of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
Financial institutions are categorized as well capitalized or adequately capitalized, based on minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, CET1 and Tier 1 leverage ratios. As shown in the table below, the Company’s capital ratios exceeded the regulatory definition of adequately capitalized as of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2014.2015. Based upon the information in its most recently filed call report, the Bank met the capital ratios necessary to be well capitalized. The regulatory authorities can apply changes in classification of assets and such changes may retroactively subject the Company to changes in capital ratios. Any such changes could result in reducing one or more capital ratios below well-capitalized status. In addition, a change may result in imposition of additional assessments by the FDIC or could result in regulatory actions that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Because our bank had less than $15.0 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009, we are allowed to continue to classify our trust preferred securities, all of which were issued prior to May 19, 2010, as Tier 1 capital.

Our mortgage finance loan volumes can increase significantly at month-end, causing a meaningful difference between ending balance and average balance for any period. At September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, our total mortgage finance loans were $4.3$5.0 billion compared to the average for the quarter ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 of $4.0$3.7 billion. As CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios are calculated using quarter-end risk-weighted assets and our mortgage finance loans are 100% risk-weighted, the quarter-end fluctuation in these balances can significantly impact our reported ratios. Due to the actual risk profile and liquidity of this asset class, weWe manage capital allocated to mortgage finance loans based on changing trends in average balances, as well as the inherent risk associated with the assets which implies a risk weight that is significantly different than the regulatory risk weight, and do not believe that the quarter-end balance is representative of risk characteristics that would justify higher allocations. However, we will continue to monitor our capital allocation to confirm that all capital levels remain above well-capitalized levels.
Dividends that may be paid by subsidiary banks are routinely restricted by various regulatory authorities. The amount that can be paid in any calendar year without prior approval of the Bank’s regulatory agencies cannot exceed the lesser of the net profits (as defined) for that year plus the net profits for the preceding two calendar years, or retained earnings. The Basel III Capital Rules further limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by our bank. No dividends were declared or paid on common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 or 2014.2015.
(8)(9) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On May 19, 2015,We have stock-based compensation plans under which equity-based compensation grants are made by the Company's stockholders approved the Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan"), which provides for the issuanceboard of up to 2,550,000 shares of common stock for compensation to the Company's key employees, certain key contractors and non-employee directors, or its designated committee. Grants are subject to increase by up to approximately 751,887vesting requirements. Under the plans, we may grant, among other things, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), cash-based performance units or any combination thereof. Plans include grants for employees and directors. Total shares underlying outstanding stock-settled awards granted pursuant to priorauthorized under the plans that may be forfeited, expire or may be canceled and available for reuse in the future pursuant to the terms of the 2015 Plan.are 2,550,000.


The fair value of our stock option and stock appreciation right (“SAR”("SAR") grants are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricingvaluation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide the best single measure of the fair value of our employee stock options.
Stock-based compensation consists of SARs, RSUs and RSUscash-based performance units granted from 20092010 through September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016.

(9)(10) FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
We determine the fair market values of our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis using the fair value hierarchy as prescribed in ASC 820. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as provided below.
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets include U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities, municipal bonds, and Community Reinvestment Act funds. This category also includes loans held for sale and derivative assets and liabilities where values are obtained from independent pricing services.
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair values requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category also includes impaired loans held for investment and OREO where collateral values have been based on third party appraisals; however, due to current economic conditions, comparative sales data typically used in appraisals may be unavailable or more subjective due to lack of market activity.

Level 3 Valuations
Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. Currently, we measure fair value for certain loans and OREO on a nonrecurring basis as described below.
Loans held for investment
During ninethree months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2014,2015, certain impaired loans held for investment were re-evaluated and reported at fair value through a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. The $50.0$96.5 million reported fair value above includes impaired loans held for investment at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 with a carrying value of $55.1$127.8 million that were reduced by specific allowance allocations totaling $5.1$31.3 million based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs. The $23.5$41.4 million reported fair value above includes impaired loans held for investment at December 31, 20142015 with a carrying value of $29.2$49.7 million that were reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations totaling $5.7$8.3 million based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs. Fair values were based on third party appraisals.
OREO
Certain foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition, are valued based on third party appraisalsrecorded at fair value less estimated selling costs. At September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, OREO had a carrying value of $187,000$17.6 million and $568,000,$278,000, respectively, with no specific valuation allowance. The fair value of OREO was computed based on third party appraisals, which are Level 3 valuation inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. This disclosure does not and is not intended to represent the fair value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for its financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value, which isand these financial instruments are characterized as a Level 1 assetassets in the fair value hierarchy.
Securities
The fair value of investment securities is based on prices obtained from independent pricing services which are based on quoted market prices for the same or similar securities, which isand these financial instruments are characterized as a Level 2 assetassets in the fair value hierarchy. We have obtained documentation from the primary pricing service we use about their processes and controls over pricing. In addition, on a quarterly basis we independently verify the prices that we receive from the service provider using two additional independent pricing sources. Any significant differences are investigated and resolved.
Loans held for sale
Fair value for loans held for sale valued under the fair value option is derived from quoted market prices for similar loans, which isand these financial instruments are characterized as a Level 2 assetassets in the fair value hierarchy.
Loans held for investment, net
Loans held for investment are characterized as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. For variable-rate loans held for investment that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are generally based on carrying values. The fair value for all other loans held for investment is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
Derivatives
The estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps and caps is obtained from independent pricing services based on quoted market prices for the same or similar derivative contracts which isand these financial instruments are characterized as a Level 2 assetassets in the fair value hierarchy. On a quarterly basis, we independently verify the fair value using an additional independent pricing source. The derivative instruments related to the loans held for sale portfolio include loan purchase commitments and forward sales commitments. Loan purchase commitments are valued based upon the fair value of the underlying mortgage loans to be

purchased, which is based on observable market data. Forward sales commitments are valued based upon the quoted market prices from brokers. As

such, these loan purchase commitments and forward sales commitments are classified as Level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy.
Deposits
Deposits are characterized as Level 3 liabilities in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts for variable-rate money market accounts approximate their fair value. Fixed-term certificatecertificates of deposit fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities.
Federal funds purchased, customer repurchase agreements, other borrowings, subordinated notes and trust preferred subordinated debentures
The carrying valuesvalue reported in the consolidated balance sheets for Federal funds purchased, customer repurchase agreements and other short-term, floating rate borrowings approximateapproximates their fair values, whichvalue, and these financial instruments are characterized as Level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy. The fair valuesvalue of any fixed rate short-term borrowings and trust preferred subordinated debentures are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar borrowings, whichand these financial instruments are characterized as Level 3 liabilities in the fair value hierarchy. The subordinated notes are publicly, though infrequently, traded and are valued based on market prices, whichand are characterized as Level 2 liabilities in the fair value hierarchy.
(10)(11) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of derivative positions outstanding is included in accrued interest receivable and other assets and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets on a net basis when a right of offset exists, based on transactions with a single counterparty that are subject to a legally enforceable master netting agreement.
During three months ended September 30,March 31, 2016 and 2015, and 2014, we entered into certain interest rate derivative positions that arewere not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative positions relate to transactions in which we enter into an interest rate swap, cap and/or floor with a customer while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap, cap and/or floor with another financial institution. In connection with each swap transaction, we agree to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, we agree to pay another financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. The transaction allows our customer to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate. Because we act as an intermediary for our customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts substantially offset each other and do not have a material impact on our results of operations.
During three months ended March 31, 2016, we entered into loan purchase commitment contracts with mortgage originators to purchase residential mortgage loans at a future date, as well as forward sales commitment contracts to sell residential mortgage loans at a future date.

Our credit exposure on interest rate swaps and caps is limited to the net favorable value and interest payments of all swaps and caps by each counterparty. In such cases collateral may be required from the counterparties involved if the net value of the swaps and caps exceeds a nominal amount considered to be immaterial. Our credit exposure, net of any collateral pledged, relating to interest rate swaps and caps was approximately $46.9$54.9 million at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and approximately $31.2$35.3 million at December 31, 2014,2015, all of which relates to bank customers. Collateral levels are monitored and adjusted on a regular basis for changes in interest rate swap and cap values. At September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, we had $47.3$55.7 million and $30.2$37.1 million, respectively, in cash collateral pledged for these derivatives included in interest-bearing deposits.

(11)(12) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASU 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02") requires that lessees and lessors recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our financial statements and disclosures.


ASU 2015-03 "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" ("ASU 2015-03") requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs were required to be presented as deferred charge assets, separate from the related debt liability. ASU 2015-03 does not change the recognition and measurement requirements for debt issuance costs. We adopted ASU 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016 and applied its provisions retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in the reclassification of $5.2 million and $5.3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to our Subordinated notes from other assets to subordinated notes within the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Other than this reclassification, the adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASU 2014-09") implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step model which entities must follow to recognize revenue and removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in existing guidance. ASU 2014-09 iswas originally going to be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 20172016; however, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 - "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Deferral of the Effective Date" which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-12 "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period" ("ASU 2014-12") requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 is intended to resolve the diverse accounting treatments of these types of awards in practice and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. It is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Overview of Our Business Operations
We commenced our banking operations in December 1998. An important aspect of our growth strategy has been our ability to service and manage effectively manage a large number of loans and deposit accounts in multiple markets in Texas, as well as several lines of business serving a regional or national clientele of commercial borrowers. Accordingly, we have created an operations infrastructure sufficient to support our lending and banking operations that we continue to build out as needed to serve a larger customer base and specialized industries.
In the third quarter of 2015, we launched a correspondent lending program, Mortgage Correspondent Aggregation ("MCA"),MCA, to complement our warehouse lending program. Through our MCA program we commit to purchase residential mortgage loans from independent correspondent lenders and deliver those loans into the secondary market via whole loan sales to independent third parties or in securitization transactions to GSEs such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. InWe retain the MSRs in some cases we retainwith the mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs").expectation that they will be sold from time to time. Once purchased, these loans are classified as held for sale and are carried at fair value pursuant to our election of the fair value option. At the commitment date, we enter into a corresponding forward sale commitment with a third party, typically a GSE, to deliver the loans to the GSE within a specified timeframe. The estimated gain/loss for the entire transaction (from initial purchase commitment to final delivery of loans) is recorded as an asset or liability. Fair value is derived from observable current market prices, when available, and includes the fair value of the MSRs. For the nine months ended September 30,At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the transaction volumewe had $94.7 million and $86.1 million in this program was not significant.
Volatility in the mortgage industry can drive uncertainty related to the pricing of the mortgage loans we seek to purchase, as well as uncertainty in the pricing of those loans when they are sold or securitized. This volatility may cause the actual returns on those sales or securitization transactions to be less than anticipated, which could adversely affect our overall loan volumes. Additionally, non-bank competitors may have a pricing advantage as they are not subject to the same capital limitations on mortgage loans and MSRs as banks.
The persistent low interest rate environment and expectation of future higher rates has resulted in an increase in the value of MSRs, causing other market participants or competitors who are planning to hold MSRs for a longer term to be more aggressive in their pricing of the underlying loan purchases than a participant like us that does not plan to hold MSRs on a long-term basis.
In connection with our loans held for sale portfolio, we have entered into loan purchase commitments and forward sales commitments. While we believe that our hedging strategies will be successful in mitigating our exposurerelated to interest rate risk, no hedging strategy can completely protect us. Poorly designed strategies, improperly executed transactions, or inaccurate assumptions could increase our risks and losses.MCA.
The following discussion and analysis presents the significant factors affecting our financial condition as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015 and results of operations for three and nine months in the periods ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 2014.2015. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Other non-interest income includes such items as letter of credit fees and other general operating income, none of which account for 1% or more of total interest income and non-interest income.
While management expects continued growth in certain components of non-interest income, the future rate of growth could be affected by increased competition from nationwide and regional financial institutions. In order to achieve growth in non-interest income, we may need to introduce new products or enter into new lines of business or expand existing lines of business. Any new product introduction or new market entry could place additional demands on capital and managerial resources.

Total loans held for investment net of allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 increased $1.6 billion$307.8 million from December 31, 20142015 to $15.7$16.9 billion. Our business plan focuses primarily on lending to middle market businesses and successful professionals and entrepreneurs, and as such, commercial, real estate and construction loans have comprised a majority of our loan portfolio. Consumer loans generally have represented 1% or less of the portfolio. Mortgage finance loans relate to our mortgage warehouse lending operations in which we invest in mortgage loan ownership interests that are typically sold within 10 to 20 days. Volumes fluctuate based on the level of market demand for the product and the number of days between purchase and sale of the loans as well as overall market interest rates and tend to peak at the end of each month.
We originate a substantial majority of all loans held for investment (excluding mortgage finance loans). We also participate in syndicated loan relationships, both as a participant and as an agent. As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had $1.7$1.9 billion in syndicated loans, $379.6$372.2 million of which we administer as agent. All syndicated loans, whether we act as agent or participant, are underwritten to the same standards as all other loans we originate. As of September 30, 2015, $23.0March 31, 2016, $12.9 million of our syndicated loans were on non-accrual.
Portfolio Geographic Concentration
AsWhen considering our mortgage finance loans and other national lines of September 30, 2015,business, more than 50% of our borrowers and the value of collateral securing our loans held for investment are located outside of Texas. However, as of March 31, 2016, a substantial majority of our loans held for investment, excluding our mortgage finance loans and other national lines of business, were to businesses with headquarters and operations in Texas. This geographic concentration subjects the loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within this area. Additionally, we mayWe also make loans to these businesses and individuals,customers that are secured by assets located outside of Texas. The risks created by this concentration have been considered by management in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to cover estimated losses on loans at each balance sheet date.
Summary of Loan Loss Experience
The provision for credit losses is a charge to earnings to maintain the reserveallowance for loan losses at a level consistent with management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio in light of current economic conditions and market trends. We recorded a provision of $13.8$30.0 million during the thirdfirst quarter of 2016 compared to $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $6.5and $14.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $14.5 million in the secondfourth quarter of 2015. The increase in provision was driven byrecorded during the applicationfirst quarter of our methodology.

We continue to maintain an unallocated reserve component to compensate for the uncertainty and complexity in estimating loan and lease losses, including factors and conditions that may not be fully reflected in the determination and application of the

allowance allocation percentages. We believe the level of unallocated reserves at September 30, 2015 is warranted due to the continued uncertain economic environment which has produced losses, including those resulting from borrowers' misstatement of financial information or inaccurate certification of collateral values. Such losses are not necessarily correlated with historical loss trends or general economic conditions. Our methodology used to calculate the allowance considers historical losses; however, the historical loss rates for specific product types or credit risk grades may not fully incorporate the effects of continued weakness in the economy.

portfolio.
The reserve for loan losses is comprised of specific reserves for impaired loans and an estimate of losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date, but not yet identified with specified loans. We regularly evaluate our reserve for loan losses to maintain an appropriate level to absorb estimated loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Factors contributing to the determination of reserves include the creditworthiness of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral, and general economic conditions. All loan commitments rated substandard or worse and greater than $500,000 are specifically reviewed for loss potential. For loans deemed to be impaired, a specific allocation is assigned based on the losses expected to be realized from those loans. For purposes of determining the general reserve, the portfolio is segregated by credit grades, and then further segregated by product types to recognize differing risk profiles among categories. Credit grades are assigned to all loans. Each credit grade is assigned a risk factor, or reserve allocation percentage. These risk factors are multiplied by the outstanding principal balance and risk-weighted by product type to calculate the required reserve. A similar process is employed to calculate a reserve assigned to off-balance sheet commitments, specifically unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. Even though portions of the allowance may be allocated to specific loans, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The reserve allocation percentages assigned to each credit grade have been developed based primarily on an analysis of our historical loss rates. The allocations are adjusted for certain qualitative factors, including general economic conditions, changes in credit policies and lending standards. Changes in the trend and severity of problem loans can cause the estimation of losses to differ from past experience. In addition, the reserve reflects the results of reviews performed by the Company's independent Credit Review function as reflected in their confirmations of assigned credit grades within the portfolio. The Credit Review function reports to the Credit Risk Committee of the Company's board of directors with administrative oversight from the Company's Chief Risk Officer. The portion of the allowance that is not derived by the allowance allocation percentages compensates for the uncertainty and complexity in estimating loan and lease losses including factors and conditions that may not be fully reflected in the determination and application of the allowance allocation percentages. Examples of risks that support the Company's maintaining an unallocated reserve include the possibility of precipitous negative changes in economic conditions and borrowers' submission of financial statements or certifications of collateral value that subsequently prove to be materially inaccurate for reason of either misstatement or omission of critical information. These situations, while not common, do not necessarily correlate well with the general risk profile presented by assigned credit grade and product type categories. We evaluate many such factors and conditions in determining the unallocated portion of the allowance, including the amount and frequency of losses attributable to issues not specifically addressed or included in the determination and application of the allowance allocation percentages. We believe the allowance is appropriate, given management’s assessment of potential losses within the portfolio as of the evaluation date, the significant growth in the loan and lease portfolio, current economic conditions in the Company’s market areas and other factors.
The methodology used in the periodic review of reserve adequacy, which is performed at least quarterly, is designed to be dynamic and responsive to changes in portfolio credit quality. The changes are reflected in the general reserve and in specific reserves as the collectability of larger classified loans is evaluated with new information. As our portfolio has matured, historical loss ratios have been closely monitored, and our reserve adequacy relies primarily on our loss history. The review of the reserve adequacy is performed by executive management and presented to a committee of our board of directors for their review. The committee reports to the board as part of the board’s review on a quarterly basis of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The combined reserve for credit losses, which includes a liability for losses on unfunded commitments, totaled $138.1$172.7 million at September 30, 2015, $108.0March 31, 2016, $150.1 million at December 31, 20142015 and $102.6$115.9 million at September 30, 2014.March 31, 2015. The total reservecombined allowance percentage (combined reserves for credit lossesincreased to 1.43% at March 31, 2016 from 1.28% and 1.08% at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The combined allowance as a percent of loans held for investment, excluding mortgage finance loans) increasedloans, has trended up during 2015 and into 2016 primarily as a result of the increasing provision for credit losses driven by deterioration in our energy portfolio and management's allocation of a higher reserve to 1.19% at September 30, 2015the Bank's pass-rated portfolio as deemed appropriate in light of current environmental conditions.
The overall allowance for loan losses results from 1.06% and 1.06% at Decemberconsistent application of our loan loss reserve methodology. At March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively.
At September 30, 2015,2016, we believe the reserveallowance is sufficient to cover all expectedinherent losses in the portfolio and has been derived from consistent application of the methodology described above.

TableTotal non-performing assets at March 31, 2016 increased $121.8 million from March 31, 2015 and $10.4 million from December 31, 2015. We experienced a significant increase in levels of Contentsnon-performing assets during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily related to deterioration in our energy portfolio. Energy non-performing assets totaled $141.3 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $322,000 at March 31, 2015 and $120.4 million at December 31, 2015. The increase is primarily related to energy loans, which was expected as energy prices remain low. Our


provision for credit losses increased as a result of changes in the applied risk weights, an increase in total criticized loans, primarily related to the energy portfolio, and continuing growth in loans held for investment, excluding mortgage finance loans. Risk weights are based on historical loss experience as adjusted for current environmental factors as well as changes in the composition of our pass-rated loan portfolio. This resulted in an increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans excluding mortgage finance loans for March 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015.
Generally, we place loans held for investment on non-accrual when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the remaining unpaid principal amount of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. If collectability is questionable, then cash payments are applied to principal. As of March 31, 2016, $824,000 of our non-accrual loans were earning on a cash basis. A loan is placed back on accrual status when both principal and interest are current and it is probable that we will be able to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the loan agreement.
Potential problem loans consist of loans that are performing in accordance with contractual terms but for which we have concerns about the borrower’s ability to comply with repayment terms because of the borrower’s potential financial difficulties. We monitor these loans closely and review their performance on a regular basis. At September 30, 2015 and DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2016, we had $44.7$1.7 million and $16.3 million, respectively, in loans of this type, compared to none at December 31, 2015, which were not included in either non-accrual or 90 days past due categories.

When foreclosure occurs, the acquired asset is recorded at fair value, which is generally based on appraised values,value, which may result in partial charge-off of a loan upon taking the collateral, and soloan. So long as the collateralproperty is retained, subsequentfurther reductions in appraised valuesvalue will result in valuation adjustments being taken as non-interest expense. In addition, ifIf the decline in value is believed to be permanent and not just driven by short-term market conditions, a direct write-down toof the OREO balance may be taken. We generally pursue sales of OREO when conditions warrant, but we may choose to hold certain properties for a longer term, which can result in additional exposure related to decreases in the appraised valuesvalue of the asset during that holding period. We did not record a valuation expense during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 or September 30, 2014.March 31, 2016 and 2015.
Loans Held for Sale
Through our MCA program, we commit to purchase residential mortgage loans from independent correspondent lenders with the intention to selland deliver those loans to into the secondary market via whole loan sales to independent third parties or in securitization transactions to GSEs.GSEs such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. We accounthave elected to carry these loans at fair value based on sales commitments and market quotes. Changes in the fair value of the loans held for these transactions assale are included in other non-interest income.
Residential mortgage loans are subject to both credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk is managed through underwriting policies and procedures, including collateral requirements, which are generally accepted by the secondary loan markets. Exposure to interest rate fluctuations is partially managed through forward sales contracts, which set the price for loans that will be delivered in the next 60 to 90 days.
The table below presents the unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale and related fair values at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

The differences between the fair value carrying amount and the aggregate unpaid principal balance include changes in some casesfair value recorded at and subsequent to funding, gains and losses on the related loan commitment prior to funding and premiums or discounts on acquired loans.

We generally retain the right to service the loans.loans sold, creating MSR assets on our balance sheet. A summary of MSR activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows (in thousands):
Servicing asset: 
    Balance, beginning of year$423

    Amortization(40)
Balance, end of period4,286
Valuation allowance: 
    Balance, beginning of year$
    Increase in valuation allowance$33
Balance, end of period$33
Fair value$4,253
At March 31, 2016, our servicing portfolio of residential mortgage loans sold included 1,391 loans with an outstanding principal balance of $355.2 million. In connection with the servicing of these loans, we maintain escrow funds for taxes and insurance in the name of investors, as well as collections in transit to investors. These escrow funds are segregated and held in separate non-interest-bearing bank accounts at the Bank. These deposits, included in total non-interest-bearing deposits on the consolidated balance sheets, were $2.9 million at March 31, 2016.
For loans securitized and sold during the three months ended March 31, 2016 with servicing rights retained, management used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of MSRs at the date of securitization:
Average discount rates9.85%
Expected prepayment speeds10.67%
Weighted-average life, in yearsP6Y6M0D
In conjunction with the sale and securitization of loans held for sale, we may be exposed to liability resulting from recourse agreements and repurchase agreements. If it is determined subsequent to our sale of a loan that the loan sold is in breach of the representations or warranties made in the applicable sale agreement, we may have an obligation to (a) repurchase the loan for the unpaid principal balance, accrued interest and related advances, (b) indemnify the purchaser against any loss it suffers or (c) make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of the loan. During the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2016, we originated or purchased and sold approximately $342.6 million of mortgage loans to GSEs.
Our repurchase, indemnification and make whole obligations vary based upon the terms of the applicable agreements, the nature of the asserted breach and the status of the mortgage loan at the time a claim is made. We establish reserves for estimated losses of this nature inherent in the origination of mortgage loans by estimating the probable losses inherent in the population of all loans sold based on trends in claims and actual loss severities experienced. The reserve will include accruals for probable contingent losses in addition to those identified in the pipeline of claims received. The estimation process is designed to include amounts based on actual losses experienced from actual repurchase activity.
Because the MCA business commenced in 2015, we purchased $4.2 millionhave no historical data to support the establishment of a reserve. The baseline for the repurchase reserve uses historical loss factors obtained from industry data that are applied to loan pools originated and sold $3.2 million of residential mortgage loans.during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The gain onhistorical industry data loss factors and experienced losses will be accumulated for each sale recognizedvintage (year loan was sold) and applied to more recent sale vintages to estimate inherent losses not material.yet realized. Our estimated exposure related to these loans was $178,000 at March 31, 2016 and is recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We had no losses due to repurchase, indemnification or make-whole obligations during the year ended March 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our cash needs. Our objective in managing our liquidity is to maintain our ability to meet loan commitments, purchase securities or repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings. Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies, which are formulated and monitored by our senior management and our Balance Sheet Management Committee (“BSMC”), and which take into account the demonstrated marketability of assets, the sources and stability of our funding and the level of unfunded commitments. We regularly evaluate all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on accessibility, stability, reliability and cost effectiveness. For the year ended December 31, 20142015 and for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 our principal source of funding has been our customer deposits, supplemented by our short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily short-termfrom Federal funds purchased and FHLBFederal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings, which are generally used to fund mortgage finance assets.
Deposit growth and increaseincreases in borrowing capacity related to our mortgage finance loans have resulted in an increase in liquidity assets to $2.3$2.6 billion at September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. The following table summarizes the growth in and composition of liquidity assets (in thousands):

Our liquidity needs for support of growth in loans held for investment have been fulfilled through growth in our core customer deposits. Our goal is to obtain as much of our funding for loans held for investment and other earning assets as possible from deposits of these core customers. These deposits are generated principally through development of long-term relationships with customers, with a significant focus on treasury management products. In addition to deposits from our core customers, we also have access to deposits through brokered customer relationships. For regulatory purposes, these relationship brokered deposits are categorized as brokered deposits; however, since these deposits arise from a customer relationship, which involves extensive treasury services, we consider these deposits to be core deposits for our reporting purposes.

We also have access to incremental deposits through brokered retail certificates of deposit, or CDs. These traditional brokered deposits are generally of short maturities, 30 to 90 days, and are used to supplementfund temporary differences in the growth in loans balances, including growth in loans held for sale or other specific categories of loans as compared to customer deposits. The following table summarizes our period-end and average year-to-date core customer deposits and brokered deposits (in millions):

We have access to sources of brokered deposits that we estimate to be $3.5 billion. Based on our internal guidelines, we may choosehave chosen to limit our use of these sources to a lesser amount. Customer deposits (total deposits, including relationship brokered deposits, minus brokered CDs) at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 increased by $2.5$1.2 billion from December 31, 20142015 and increased $3.4$2.2 billion from September 30, 2014.March 31, 2015.
Additionally, weWe have short-term borrowing sources available to supplement deposits and meet our funding needs. Such borrowings are generally used to fund our mortgage finance assets, due to their liquidity, short duration and interest spreads available. These borrowing sources typically include Federal funds purchased from our downstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are smaller than our bank) and from our upstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are larger than our bank), customer repurchase agreements, treasury, tax and loan notes and advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve.

At September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had a revolving, non-amortizing line of credit with $100.0 milliona maximum availability of unused capacity.$130.0 million. This line of credit matures on December 22, 2015.21, 2016. The loan proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes including funding regulatory capital infusions into the Bank. The loan agreement contains customary financial covenants and restrictions. At September 30, 2015 andAs of March 31, 2016, $4.0 million in borrowings were outstanding compared to none at December 31, 2014, no borrowings were outstanding.2015.
Our equity capital, including $150 million in preferred stock, averaged $1.5$1.6 billion for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, as compared to $1.2$1.5 billion for the same period in 2014.2015. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since we commenced operations and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.
As of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016, our capital ratios were above the levels required to be well capitalized. We believe that our earnings, periodic capital raising transactions, and the addition of loan and deposit relationships, will allow us to continue to grow organically.

Critical Accounting Policies
SEC guidance requires disclosure of “critical accounting policies.” The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that are most important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results, and require 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.
We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The more significant of these policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Not all these significant accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. However, we believe the policy describednoted below meetscould be deemed to meet the SEC’s definition of a critical accounting policy.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management considers the policies related to the allowance for loan losses as the most critical to the financial statement presentation. The total allowance for loan losses includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with ASC 310, Receivables, and ASC 450, Contingencies. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to current earnings. The amount maintained in the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of the loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific reserves assigned to certain classified loans and general reserves. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the creditworthiness of the borrower, and more specifically, changes in the expected future receipt of principal and interest payments and/or in the value of pledged collateral. A reserve is recorded when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the discounted estimated cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. For purposes of determining the general reserve, the portfolio is segregated by product types in order to recognize differing risk profiles among categories, and then further segregated by credit grades. See “Summary of Loan Loss Experience” and Note 4 – Loans Held for Investment and Allowance for Loan Losses in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further discussion of the risk factors considered by management in establishing the allowance for loan losses.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. Additionally, the financial instruments subject to market risk can be classified either as held for trading purposes or held for other than trading.
We are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on our portfolio of assets held for purposes other than trading. Additionally, we have some market risk relative to commodity prices through our energy lending activities. Petroleum and natural gas commodity prices declined substantially during 2014 and 2015, and prices have continued to be suppressed through 2015.2016. Such declines in commodity prices, have and, if sustained or continued, could negatively impact our energy clients' ability to perform on their loan obligations, and we continue to monitor these loans.obligations. Management does not currently expect the current decline in petroleum and natural gas commodity prices to have a material adverse effect on our financial position. Foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices do not pose significant market risk to us.
The responsibility for managing market risk rests with the BSMC, which operates under policy guidelines established by our board of directors. The negative acceptable variation in net interest revenue due to a 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates is generally limited by these guidelines to +/- 5%. These guidelines also establish maximum levels for short-term borrowings, short-term assets and public and brokered deposits. They also establish minimum levels for unpledged assets, among other things. ComplianceOversight of our compliance with these guidelines is the ongoing responsibility of the BSMC, with exceptions reported to our board of directors on a quarterly basis. Additionally, the Credit Policy Committee ("CPC") specifically manages risk relative to commodity price market risks. The CPC establishes maximum portfolio concentration levels for energy loans as well as maximum advance rates for energy collateral.
Interest Rate Risk Management
Our interest rate sensitivity is illustrated in the following table. The table reflects rate-sensitive positions as of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, and is not necessarily indicative of positions on other dates. The balances of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities are presented in the periods in which they next reprice to market rates or mature and are aggregated to show the interest rate sensitivity gap. The mismatch between repricings or maturities within a time period is commonly referred to as the “gap” for that period. A positive gap (asset sensitive), where interest rate sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, generally will result in the net interest margin increasing in a rising rate environment and decreasing in a falling rate environment. A negative gap (liability sensitive) will generally have the opposite results on the net interest margin. To reflect anticipated prepayments, certain asset and liability categories are shown in the table using estimated cash flows rather than contractual cash flows. The Company employs interest rate floors in certain variable rate loans to enhance the yield on those loans at times when market interest rates are extraordinarily low. The degree of asset sensitivity, spreads on loans and net interest margin may be reduced until rates increase by an amount sufficient to eliminate the effects of floors. The adverse effect of floors as market rates increase may also be offset by the positive gap, the extent to which rates on deposits and other funding sources lag increasing market rates and changes in composition of funding.

The table above sets forth the balances as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 for interest bearing assets, interest bearing liabilities, and the total of non-interest bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity. While a gap interest table is useful in analyzing interest rate sensitivity, an interest rate sensitivity simulation provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates. Earnings are also affected by the effects of changing interest rates on the value of funding derived from demand deposits and stockholders’ equity. We perform a sensitivity analysis to identify interest rate risk exposure on net interest income. We quantify and measure interest rate risk exposure using a model to dynamically simulate the effect of changes in net interest income relative to changes in interest rates and loan and deposit account balances over the next twelve months based on three interest rate scenarios. These are a “most likely” rate scenario and two “shock test” scenarios.
The “most likely” rate scenario is based on the consensus forecast of future interest rates published by independent sources. These forecasts incorporate future spot rates and relevant spreads of instruments that are actively traded in the open market. The Federal Reserve’s Federal funds target affects short-term borrowing rates; the prime lending rate and LIBOR are the basis for most of our variable-rate loan pricing. The 10-year mortgage rate is also monitored because of its effect on prepayment speeds for mortgage-backed securities. We believe these are our primary interest rate exposures. We are not currently using derivatives to manage our interest rate exposure.
The two “shock test” scenarios assume a sustained parallel 100 and 200 basis point increase in interest rates. As short-term rates have remained low through 20142015 and the first ninethree months of 2015,2016, we do not believe that analysis of an assumed decrease in

interest rates would provide meaningful results. We will continue to evaluate these scenarios as interest rates change, until short-term rates rise above 3.0%, at which point we will resume evaluations of shock scenarios in which interest rates decrease.

Our interest rate risk exposure model incorporates assumptions regarding the level of interest rate or balance changes on indeterminable maturity deposits (demand deposits, interest-bearing transaction accounts and savings accounts) for a given level of market rate changes. These assumptions have been developed through a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior. Changes in prepayment behavior of mortgage-backed securities and residential and commercial mortgage loans in each rate environment are captured using industry estimates of prepayment speeds for various coupon segments of the portfolio. The impact of planned growth and new business activities is factored into the simulation model. This modeling indicated interest rate sensitivity as follows (in thousands):
 
 Anticipated Impact Over the Next Twelve Months as Compared to Most Likely Scenario Anticipated Impact Over the Next Twelve Months as Compared to Most Likely Scenario
 100 bp Increase 200 bp Increase 100 bp Increase 200 bp Increase
 September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014
Change in net interest income$86,998
 $182,672
 $56,067
 $122,923
 Anticipated Impact Over the Next Twelve Months as Compared to Most Likely Scenario Anticipated Impact Over the Next Twelve Months as Compared to Most Likely Scenario
 100 bp Increase 200 bp Increase 100 bp Increase 200 bp Increase
 March 31, 2016 March 31, 2015
Change in net interest income$103,009
 $212,583
 $79,855
 $169,010
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 repricing characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the supervision and participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, we have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to various claims and legal actions related to operating activities that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management does not currently expect the ultimate disposition of these matters to have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.
 
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s 20142015 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. These additional risk factors relate to the MCA program launched in the third quarter of 2015.
Volatility in the mortgage industry can drive uncertainty related to the pricing of the mortgage loans we seek to purchase, as well as uncertainty in the pricing of those loans when they are sold or securitized. This volatility may cause the actual returns on those sales or securitization transactions to be less than anticipated, which could adversely affect our overall loan volumes. Additionally, non-bank competitors may have a pricing advantage as they are not subject to the same capital limitations on mortgage loans and MSRs as banks.
The persistent low interest rate environment and expectation of future higher rates has resulted in an increase in the value of MSRs, causing other market participants or competitors who are planning to hold MSRs for a longer term to be more aggressive in their pricing of the underlying loan purchases than a participant like us that does not plan to hold MSRs on a long-term basis.
In connection with our loans held for sale portfolio, we have entered into loan purchase commitments and forward sales commitments. While we believe that our hedging strategies will be successful in mitigating our exposure to interest rate risk, no hedging strategy can completely protect us. Poorly designed strategies, improperly executed transactions, or inaccurate assumptions could increase our risks and losses.
