BANK OF THE OZARKS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unaudited

 

1.Organization and Principles of Consolidation

Bank of the Ozarks, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, which operates under the rules and regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Company owns a wholly-owned state chartered bank subsidiary – Bank of the Ozarks (the “Bank”), eight 100%-owned finance subsidiary business trusts – Ozark Capital Statutory Trust II (“Ozark II”), Ozark Capital Statutory Trust III (“Ozark III”), Ozark Capital Statutory Trust IV (“Ozark IV”), Ozark Capital Statutory Trust V (“Ozark V”) (collectively, the “Ozark Trusts”), Intervest Statutory Trust II (“Intervest II”), Intervest Statutory Trust III (“Intervest III”), Intervest Statutory Trust IV (“Intervest IV”) and Intervest Statutory Trust V (“Intervest V”), (collectively, the “Intervest Trusts”; and together with Ozark Trusts, the “Trusts”) and, indirectly through the Bank, a subsidiary engaged in the development of real estate, a subsidiary that owns private aircraft and various other entities that hold foreclosed assets or tax credits or engage in other activities. The Company and Bank are subject to the regulation of certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, the real estate subsidiary, the aircraft subsidiary and certain of those various other entities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

At March 31,June 30, 2015, the Company had 165164 offices, including 8180 in Arkansas, 28 in Georgia, 21 in Texas, 16 in North Carolina, 11 in Florida, three in Alabama, two offices each in South Carolina and New York and one office in California.

 

2.Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in Article 10 of Regulation S-X and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and GAAP for interim financial information. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary, consisting of normal recurring items, have been included for a fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three months or six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or future periods.

On June 23, 2014, the Company completed a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend by issuing one share of common stock for each share of such stock outstanding on June 13, 2014. All share and per share information in the consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements has been adjusted to give effect to this stock split.

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income. Additionally, during

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Bank and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) entered into agreements terminating the loss share agreements for all seven of the Company’sits FDIC-assisted acquisitions. As a result of entering these termination agreements, the Company reclassified its loans previously reported as covered by FDIC loss share to purchased loans for all periods presented. Additionally, the Companypresented, and it has reclassified all interest income inon loans previously reported as covered by FDIC loss share to interest income on purchased loans for all periods presented.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company revised its initial estimates and assumptions regarding the recovery of certain acquired loans and acquired deferred tax assets from its acquisition of Intervest Bancshares Corporation (“Intervest”). As a result, certain amounts previously reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been recast.

 

3.Acquisitions

Intervest Bancshares Corporation

On February 10, 2015, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Intervest Bancshares Corporation (“Intervest”), and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary Intervest National Bank, for an aggregate of 6,637,243 shares of its common stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares) in a transaction valued at approximately $238.5 million. The acquisition of Intervest provided the Company with a banking office in New York City and expanded its service area in Florida by adding five banking offices in Clearwater, Florida and one office in South Pasadena, Florida.

During the second quarter of 2015, management revised its initial estimates and assumptions regarding the recovery of certain acquired loans and acquired deferred tax assets. Because such revision occurred during the first 12 months following the date of acquisition and was not the result of a change in circumstances, management has recast the first quarter 2015 consolidated financial statements to decrease the goodwill recorded in the Intervest acquisition by $2.7 million to reflect this change in estimate.

The following table provides a summary of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as recorded by Intervest, the preliminary estimates of the fair value adjustments necessary to adjust those acquired assets and assumed liabilities to estimated fair value, the recast adjustment described above and the preliminary estimates of the resultant fair values of those assets and liabilities as recorded by the Company. As provided for under GAAP, management has up to 12 months following the date of acquisition to finalize the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Once management has finalized the fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities within this 12-month period, management considers such values to be the day 1 fair values (“Day 1 Fair Values”). The preliminary fair value adjustments and the preliminary resultant fair values shown in the following table continue to be evaluated by management and may be subject to further adjustment.

4.Earnings Per Common Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding after consideration of the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding common stock options using the treasury stock method. At March 31, 2015,No options to purchase 535,000shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 or the six

months ended June 30, 2014 were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations as all options were dilutive. Options to purchase 531,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $36.05$40.34 were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2015 because the options exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and inclusion would have been antidilutive. No options to purchase shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations as all options were dilutive.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated.

5.Investment Securities

At March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014 and at December 31, 2014, the Company classified all of its investment securities portfolio as AFS. Accordingly, investment securities are stated at estimated fair value in the consolidated financial statements with unrealized gains and losses, net of related income tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The following table presents the amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities AFS as of the dates indicated. The Company’s investment in the “CRA qualified investment fund” includes shares held in a mutual fund that qualifies under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 for community reinvestment purposes. The Company’s holdings of equity securities in Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (“FHLB”) and First National Banker’s Bankshares, Inc. (“FNBB”) do not have readily determinable fair values and are carried at cost.

In evaluating the Company’s unrealized loss positions for other-than-temporary impairment of its investment securities portfolio, management considers the credit quality of the issuer, the nature and cause of the unrealized loss, the severity and duration of the impairments and other factors. At March 31,June 30, 2015 management determined the unrealized losses were the result of fluctuations in interest rates and did not reflect deteriorations of the credit quality of the investments. Accordingly, management considers these unrealized losses to be temporary in nature. The Company does not have the intent to sell these investment securities with unrealized losses and, more likely than not, will not be required to sell these investment securities before fair value recovers to amortized cost.

The following table shows the amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities AFS by maturity or estimated date of repayment as of the date indicated.

As a result, the Company recorded partial charge-offs totaling $0.4 million and $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1.7 million and $1.3 million during the first quartersix months of 2015 and $0.2 million during the first quarter of 2014.2014, respectively.

Management has determined that certain of the Company’s impaired non-purchased loans and leases do not require any specific allowance at March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014 or at December 31, 2014 because (i) management’s analysis of such individual loans and leases resulted in no impairment or (ii) all identified impairment on such loans and leases has previously been charged off.

Interest income on impaired non-purchased loans and leases is recognized on a cash basis when and if actually collected. Total interest income recognized on impaired non-purchased loans and leases for the three months and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 was not material.

(1)The Company does not risk rate its residential 1-4 family loans, its consumer loans, and certain “other” loans. However, for purposes of the above table, the Company considers such loans to be (i) satisfactory – if they are performing and less than 30 days past due, (ii) watch – if they are performing and 30 to 89 days past due or (iii) substandard – if they are nonperforming or 90 days or more past due.

The following categories of credit quality indicators are used by the Company.

Satisfactory – Loans and leases in this category are considered to be a satisfactory credit risk and are generally considered to be collectible in full.

Moderate – Loans and leases in this category are considered to be a marginally satisfactory credit risk and are generally considered to be collectible in full.

Watch – Loans and leases in this category are presently protected from apparent loss; however, weaknesses exist which could cause future impairment of repayment of principal or interest.

Substandard – Loans and leases in this category are characterized by deterioration in quality exhibited by a number of weaknesses requiring corrective action and posing risk of some loss.

The following table is an aging analysis of past due non-purchased loans and leases as of the dates indicated.

The fair value adjustment of $4.5 million is being amortized, using a level-yield methodology over the estimated holding period of approximately eight years, as an increase in interest expense of the subordinated debentures owed to the Intervest Trusts. In addition to the subordinated debentures of the Intervest Trusts, the Company also acquired $1.7 million of trust common equity issued by the Intervest Trusts.

The trust preferred securities issued by Intervest Trust II and the related subordinated debentures bear interest, adjustable quarterly, at 90-day London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”) plus 2.95% and contain a final maturity of September 17, 2033.

The trust preferred securities issued by Intervest Trust IV and the related subordinated debentures bear interest, adjustable quarterly, at 90-day LIBOR plus 2.40% and contain a final maturity of September 20, 2034. The trust preferred securities issued by Intervest Trust V and the related subordinated debentures bear interest, adjustable quarterly, at 90-day LIBOR plus 1.65% and contain a final maturity of December 15, 2036.

The sole assets of the Trusts are the adjustable rate debentures and the liabilities of the Trusts are the trust preferred securities. At March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Trusts had aggregate common equity of $3.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and did not have any restricted net assets. The Company has, through various contractual arrangements or by operation of law, fully and unconditionally guaranteed all obligations of the Trusts with respect to the trust preferred securities. Additionally, there are no restrictions on the ability of the Trusts to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The Company has the option to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed five consecutive years. These trust preferred securities generally mature at or near the 30th anniversary date of each issuance. However, the trust preferred securities and related subordinated debentures may be prepaid at par, subject to regulatory approval.

This plan permitsThe Director Plan grants to each director who is not otherwise an employee of the Company, or any subsidiary, to receive options to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the day followingof his or her election as a director of the Company at each annual shareholders meeting, or any special meeting called for the purpose of stockholderselecting a director or directors of the Company, and up to 2,000 shares upon election or appointment for the first time as a director of the Company. No option may be granted under this plan for less than the fair market valueThe number of theshares of common stock defined byto be awarded will be the plan asequivalent of $25,000 worth of shares of common stock based on the average of the highest reported asked price and the lowest reported bid price on the dategrant date. The common stock awarded under this plan is fully vested on the grant date. The aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be issued as awards under this plan will not exceed 50,000 shares, subject to certain adjustments. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued 7,657 shares of common stock and incurred $0.3 million in stock-based compensation expense related to common-stock awards issued under the Director Plan.

Prior to the adoption of the grant. TheseDirector Plan, the Company had a nonqualified stock option plan for non-employee directors. No options arewere granted under this plan during the six months ended June 30, 2015. All options previously granted under this plan were exercisable immediately and expire ten years after issuance.

All shares issued in connection with options exercised under both the employee and non-employee director stock option plans arewere in the form of newly issued shares.

(1)Based on closing price of $36.93$45.75 per share on March 31,June 30, 2015.
(2)At March 31,June 30, 2015, the Company estimated that outstanding options to purchase 136,170123,720 shares of its common stock would not vest and would be forfeited prior to their vesting date.

Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the amount by which the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. For those stock options where the exercise price exceeds the current market price of the underlying stock, the intrinsic value is zero. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1.4 million and $3.9$0.2 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

No optionsOptions to purchase 2,000 shares and 52,000 split-adjusted shares of the Company’s stock were issued during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 or 2014.and 2014, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options included in non-interest expense was $0.6 million and $0.4$0.8 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.respectively, and $1.2 million for both six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option grants was $4.3$3.7 million at March 31,June 30, 2015 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.22.0 years.

The Company has a restricted stock and incentive plan whereby all officers and employees of the Company are eligible to receive awards of restricted stock, or restricted stock units.units or performance awards. The benefits or amounts that may be received by or allocated to any particular officer or employee of the Company under this plan will be determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors or its personnel and compensation committee. Shares of common stock issued under the plan may be shares of original issuance or shares held in treasury that have been reacquired by the Company. AllWhile the vesting period for awards under the plan is determined by the personnel and compensation committee at the time of grant, all restricted stock awards outstanding at March 31, 2015 were issued withgranted under the plan have a vesting date of three years after issuance.

The following table summarizes non-vested restricted stock activity for the period indicated.

The fair value of the restricted stock awards is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period and is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant multiplied by the number of shares granted that are expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock included in non-interest expense was $1.3$1.4 million and $0.9 million for the threequarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $2.7 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense for non-vested restricted stock awards was $10.8$9.5 million at March 31,June 30, 2015 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.42.2 years.

 

12.Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain of its assets and liabilities on a fair value basis using various valuation techniques and assumptions, depending on the nature of the asset or liability. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, fair value is used either annually or on a non-recurring basis to evaluate certain assets and liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes. The Company had no liabilities that were accounted for at fair value at March 31,June 30, 2015 or 2014 or at December 31, 2014.

The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy.

 

Level 1

Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2

Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable.

Level 3

Instruments whose inputs are unobservable.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets, as of the dates indicated, that are accounted for at fair value.

(1)The Company utilizes valuation techniques consistent with the market, cost, and income approaches, or a combination thereof in determining fair value.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value.

Investment securities – The Company utilizes independent third parties as its principal pricing sources for determining fair value of investment securities which are measured on a recurring basis. As a result, the Company receives estimates of fair values from at least two independent pricing sources for the majority of its individual securities within its investment portfolio. For investment securities traded in an active market, fair values are based on quoted market prices if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities, broker quotes, comprehensive interest rate tables and pricing matrices or a combination thereof. For investment securities traded in a market that is not active, fair value is determined using unobservable inputs. All fair value estimates of the Company’s investment securities are reviewed and approved on a quarterly basis by its Investment Portfolio Manager and its Chief Financial Officer.

The Company has determined that certain of its investment securities had a limited to non-existent trading market at March 31,June 30, 2015. As a result, the Company considers these investments as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Specifically, the fair values of certain obligations of state and political subdivisions consisting primarily of certain unrated private placement bonds (the “private placement bonds”) in the amount of $19.1$18.8 million at March 31,June 30, 2015 were calculated using Level 3 hierarchy inputs and assumptions as the trading market for such securities was determined to be “not active.” This determination was based on the limited number of trades or, in certain cases, the existence of no reported trades for the private placement bonds. The private placement bonds are generally prepayable at par value at the option of the issuer. As a result, management believes the private placement bonds should be individually valued at the lower of (i) the matrix pricing provided by the Company’s third party pricing services for comparable unrated municipal securities or (ii) par value. At March 31,June 30, 2015, the third parties’ pricing matrices valued the Company’s portfolio of private placement bonds at $19.1$18.8 million which was equal to the aggregate par value of the private placement bonds. Accordingly, at March 31,June 30, 2015, the Company reported the private placement bonds at $19.1$18.8 million.

Impaired non-purchased loans and leases – Fair values are measured on a nonrecurring basis and are based on the underlying collateral value of the impaired loan or lease, net of holding and selling costs, or the estimated discounted cash flows for such loan or lease. At March 31,June 30, 2015 the Company had reduced the carrying value of its impaired loans and leases (all of which are included in nonaccrual loans and leases) by $3.9$5.0 million to the estimated fair value of $12.6$12.8 million. The $3.9$5.0 million adjustment to reduce the carrying value of impaired loans and leases to estimated fair value consisted of $3.5$3.6 million of partial charge-offs and $0.4$1.4 million of specific loan and lease loss allocations.

Impaired purchased loans – Impaired purchased loans are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. As of March 31,June 30, 2015, the Company had identified purchased loans where the expected performance had deteriorated from management’s performance expectations established in conjunction with the determination of the Day 1 Fair Values or where current information indicates it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms thereof (for purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration at date of acquisition) or the expected performance of such loans had deteriorated from management’s performance expectations established in conjunction with the determination of the

Day 1 Fair Values or since management’s most recent review of such portfolio’s performance (for purchased loans with

evidence of credit deterioration at date of acquisition). As a result, the Company recorded partial charge-offs totaling $0.4 million and $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1.7 million and $1.3 million during the first quartersix months of 2015.2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company also recorded provision for loan and lease losses of $0.4 million and $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1.7 million and $1.3 million during the first quartersix months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, to cover such charge-offs. In addition to these charge-offs, the Company transferred certain of these purchased loans to foreclosed assets. As a result of these actions, at March 31,June 30, 2015, the Company had $14.1$12.3 million of impaired purchased loans.

Foreclosed assets – Repossessed personal properties and real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure are measured on a non-recurring basis and are initially recorded at the lesser of current principal investment or fair value less estimated cost to sell (generally 8% to 10%) at the date of repossession or foreclosure. Purchased foreclosed assets are initially recorded at Day 1 Fair Values. In estimating such Day 1 Fair Values, management considered a number of factors including, among others, appraised value, estimated selling price, estimated holding periods and net present value (calculated using discount rates ranging from 8.0% to 9.5% per annum) of cash flows expected to be received. Valuations of these assets are periodically reviewed by management with the carrying value of such assets adjusted to the then estimated fair value net of estimated selling costs, if lower, until disposition. Fair values of foreclosed and repossessed assets are generally based on third party appraisals, broker price opinions or other valuations of the property.

The following table presents additional information for the periods indicated about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value.

13.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments.

Cash and due from banks – For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment securities – The Company utilizes independent third parties as its principal pricing sources for determining fair value of investment securities which are measured on a recurring basis. As a result, the Company receives estimates of fair values from at least two independent pricing sources for the majority of its individual securities within its investment portfolio. For investment securities traded in an active market, fair values are based on quoted market prices if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities, broker quotes, comprehensive interest rate tables, pricing matrices or a combination thereof. For investment securities traded in a market that is not active, fair value is determined using unobservable inputs. All fair value estimates of the Company’s investment securities are reviewed and approved on a quarterly basis by its Investment Portfolio Manager and its Chief Financial Officer. The Company’s investments in FHLB and FNBB equity securities totaling $10.4$10.0 million at March 31,June 30, 2015, $14.2 million at December 31, 2014 and $14.5$16.6 million at March 31,June 30, 2014, do not have readily determinable fair values and are carried at cost.

Loans and leases – The fair value of loans and leases, including purchased loans, is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows to be received in future periods using the current rate at which similar loans or leases would be made to borrowers or lessees with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposit liabilities – The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, money market deposits and other transaction accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity time deposits is estimated using the rate currently available for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Repurchase agreements – For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Other borrowed funds – For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of long-term instruments is estimated based on the current rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Subordinated debentures – The fair values of these instruments are based primarily upon discounted cash flows using rates for securities with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Off-balance sheet instruments The fair values of commercial loan commitments and letters of credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, and were not material at March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014 or at December 31, 2014.

The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which contain numerous uncertainties and involve significant judgments by management. Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Company did not know whether the fair values represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

16.17.Subsequent Event

On August 5, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Bank of the Carolinas Corporation (“BCAR”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Bank of the Carolinas for an aggregate of approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares) in a transaction valued at approximately $65.4 million. The acquisition of BCAR expands the Company’s operations in North Carolina by adding eight full service branch locations in Advance, Asheboro, Concord, Harrisburg, Landis, Lexington, Mocksville and Winston-Salem. At June 30, 2015, BCAR had approximately $345 million of total assets, $277 million of loans, $296 million of deposits and $48 million of total common stockholders’ equity.

18.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,“Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”ASU 2014-09 provides guidance 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 and services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, although the FASB recently proposed deferring its effective date by one year.2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11“Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860).”ASU 2014-11 amends the accounting guidance for repo-to-maturity transactions and requires such transactions to be accounted for as secured borrowings. In addition, ASU 2014-11 requires enhanced disclosures related to the collateral pledged, maturity and risk associated with repurchase agreements. The Company adopted the provision of ASU 2014-11 beginning April 1, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-11 had no significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, the additional disclosures required by ASU 2014-11 are included in Note 14-Repurchase Agreement with Customers.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20) – Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” ASU 2015-01 eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items, which, among other things, required an entity to segregate extraordinary items considered to be unusual and infrequent from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. ASU 2015-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and its financial statement disclosures.

In February 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-02,“Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” which amends the consolidation requirements of ASU 810 by changing the consolidation analysis required under GAAP. The revised guidance amends the consolidation analysis based on certain fee arrangements or relationships to the reporting entity and, for limited partnerships, requires entities to consider the limited partner’s rights relative to the general partner. ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, ASU 2015-02 will have on its financial position, results of operations, and its financial statement disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued 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. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 1,15, 2015. ASU 2015-03 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and its financial statement disclosures.

17.Subsequent Event

On May 6, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger and reorganization (the “BCAR Agreement”) with Bank of the Carolinas Corporation (“BCAR”) and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary Bank of the Carolinas, headquartered in Mocksville, North Carolina, whereby the Company will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of BCAR in a transaction valued at approximately $64.7 million. Bank of the Carolinas operates eight full service banking offices in North Carolina. At March 31, 2015, BCAR reported approximately $363 million in total assets, approximately $279 million in total loans and approximately $314 million in total deposits.

Under the terms of the BCAR Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of BCAR will be converted into the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share, all subject to certain conditions and potential adjustments. The number of Company shares to be issued will be determined based on the Company’s 10-day average closing stock price as of the second business day prior to the closing date, subject to a minimum price of $29.28 per share and a maximum price of $48.80 per share. Upon the closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2015, BCAR will merge into the Company and Bank of the Carolinas will merge into the Bank. Completion of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including receipt of customary regulatory approvals and the approval of BCAR shareholders.

OVERVIEW

The following discussion explains our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three months and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015. The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about our financial condition and results of operations which is not otherwise apparent from the consolidated financial statements. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes presented elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 previously filed with the SEC. Annualized results for these interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year or future periods.

Bank of the Ozarks, Inc. is a bank holding company whose primary business is commercial banking conducted through its wholly-owned state chartered bank subsidiary – Bank of the Ozarks. Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income from earning assets, such as loans and leases and investments, and the interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities, such as deposits, borrowings and subordinated debentures. We also generate non-interest income, including, among others, service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage lending income, trust income, bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income, other income from purchased loans, gains on investment securities and from sales of other assets, and gains on merger and acquisition transactions.

Our non-interest expense consists primarily of employee compensation and benefits, net occupancy and equipment expense and other operating expenses. Our results of operations are significantly affected by our provision for loan and lease losses and our provision for income taxes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements.consolidated financial statements. Our determination of (i) the provisions to and the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), (ii) the fair value of our investment securities portfolio, (iii) the fair value of foreclosed assets and (iv) the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed pursuant to business combination transactions all involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than our other significant accounting policies. Accordingly, we consider the determination of (i) provisions to and the adequacy of the ALLL, (ii) the fair value of our investment securities portfolio, (iii) the fair value of foreclosed assets and (iv) the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed pursuant to business combination transactions to be critical accounting policies. A detailed discussion of each of these critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There has been no material change in our critical accounting policies and no significantmaterial change in the application of critical accounting policies as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

On June 23, 2014, we completed a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend by issuing one share of common stock for each share of such stock outstanding on June 13, 2014. All share and per share information in this MD&A has been adjusted to give effect to this stock split.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, we entered into agreements with the FDICFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) terminating the loss share agreements for all seven of our FDIC-assisted acquisitions. As a result of entering these termination agreements, we reclassified loans previously reported as covered by FDIC loss share to purchased loans for all periods presented. Additionally, we reclassified all interest income on loans previously reported as covered by FDIC loss share to interest income on purchased loans for all periods presented.

Net income available to our common stockholders was $39.9$44.8 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2015, a 57.8%69.1% increase from $25.3$26.5 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2014. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.47$0.51 for the firstsecond quarter of 2015, a 38.2%50.0% increase from $0.34 for the second quarter of 2014.

On March 5, 2014, we completed our acquisition of Bancshares, Inc. (“Bancshares”). Our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 include the acquired operations of Bancshares beginning March 6, 2014.

On May 16, 2014, we completed our acquisition of Summit Bancorp, Inc. (“Summit”). Our consolidated results of operations include the acquired operations of Summit beginning May 17, 2014.

On February 10, 2015, we completed our acquisition of Intervest Bancshares Corporation (“Intervest”). Our consolidated results of operations include the acquired operations of Intervest beginning February 11, 2015. During the second quarter of 2015, we revised our initial estimates regarding the recovery of certain acquired loans and acquired deferred tax assets in the Intervest acquisition. Because such revision occurred during the first 12 months following the date of acquisition and was not the result of a change in circumstances, management has recast the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to decrease the goodwill recorded in the Intervest acquisition by $2.7 million to reflect this change in estimate. The fair value adjustments and resultant fair values recorded in the Intervest acquisition continue to be evaluated and may be subject to further adjustments.

A summary of the Bancshares, Summit and Intervest acquisitions is included in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

On August 5, 2015, we completed our acquisition of Bank of the Carolinas Corporation (“BCAR”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of the Carolinas. The acquired operations of BCAR will be included in our operating results beginning August 6, 2015.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is a significant source of our earnings and represents the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds the interest expense paid on liabilities. The volume of interest earning assets and the related funding sources, the overall mix of these assets and liabilities, and the rates paid on each affect net interest income.

Net interest income and net interest margin are analyzed in this discussion and the following tables on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis. The adjustment to convert certain income to a FTE basis consists of dividing federal tax-exempt income by one minus our statutory federal income tax rate of 35%. The FTE adjustments to net interest income were $2.6 million and $2.4$2.7 million for the threequarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $5.1 million and $5.2 million for the six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. No adjustments have been made in this analysis for income exempt from state income taxes or for interest expense deductions disallowed under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) as a result of investment in certain tax-exempt securities.

Net interest income for the firstsecond quarter of 2015 increased 60.6%42.6% to $88.1$96.3 million compared to $54.8$67.5 million for the second quarter of 2014. Net interest income for the first six months of 2015 increased 50.7% to $184.4 million compared to $122.4 million for the first quartersix months of 2014. This increase in net interest income for the second quarter and first six months of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 was primarily due to the increase in average earning assets, which increased 62.0%49.2% to $6.59$7.20 billion for the second quarter of 2015, and 55.0% to $6.89 billion for the first quartersix months of 2015, compared to $4.07$4.82 billion for the second quarter and $4.45 billion for the first quartersix months of 2014, partially offset by a decrease of four basis points (“bps”)decreases in our net interest margin. The decrease in ourOur net interest margin to 5.42% for the firstsecond quarter of 2015 decreased 25 basis points (“bps”) to 5.37% compared to 5.46%5.62% for the firstsecond quarter of 2014in 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a 1431 bps decrease in yieldsthe yield on average earning assets, partially offset by an 11a seven bps reduction in rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. Our net interest margin for the first six months of 2015 decreased 16 bps to 5.39% compared to 5.55% for the first six months of 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a 23 bps decrease in the yield on earning assets, partially offset by a nine bps reduction in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Yields on earning assets decreased to 5.79%5.72% for the second quarter and 5.75% for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to 5.93%6.03% for the second quarter and 5.98% for the first quartersix months of 2014. The yield2014 primarily due to the decrease in yields on our purchased loan portfolio of non-purchased loans and leases decreased 10 bps fordecreases in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 and was primarily attributable to the extremely low interest rate environment experienced in recent years and increased pricing competition from many of our competitors. The yield on our aggregate investment securities portfolio decreased 18 bps for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. This decrease was primarily the result of (i) a change in the composition of our investment securities portfolio to include a larger percentage of lower yielding taxable investment securities, which comprised 43.4% of total average investment securities for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 40.7% for the first quarter in 2014 and (ii) the current low interest rate environment which has resulted in many issuers of investment securities, particularly tax-exempt municipal bonds, calling higher-rate investment securities and refinancing such securities at lower interest rates. Assuming this current low interest rate environment continues, we expect additional tax-exempt investment securities to be called by their issuers and be refinanced at lower interest rates, likely resulting in continued decreases on the yield of our tax-exempt investment securities portfolio. Additionally, theThe yield on our purchased loan portfolio decreased 140173 bps for the second quarter and 156 bps for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to the firstsame periods in 2014. These decreases were partially offset by the increase in the average balance of purchased loans which comprised 27.0% and 26.2%, respectively, of average earning assets for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 22.9% and 20.7%, respectively, of average earnings assets for the same periods in 2014. This decrease wasThe decreases in yield on purchased loans were primarily attributable to the loans acquired in the Summit and Intervest transactions, many of which did not contain evidence of credit deterioration on the date of purchase and were priced at a lower yield compared to the then existing yield on our purchased loan portfolio. This decrease in yield on purchased loans was partially offset by the increase in the yield on certain purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration on the date of acquisition due to upward revisions of estimated cash flows as a result of recent evaluations of the expected performance of such loans. The yield on our aggregate investment securities portfolio decreased 13 bps for

the second quarter and 15 bps for the first six months of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014. This decrease was primarily the result of (i) a change in the composition of our investment securities portfolio to include a larger percentage of lower yielding taxable investment securities, which comprised 45.8% of total average investment securities for the second quarter of 2015 and 44.6% for the first six months of 2015 compared to 40.5% for the second quarter in 2014 and 40.6% for the first six months of 2014 and (ii) the current low interest rate environment which has resulted in many issuers of investment securities, particularly tax-exempt municipal bonds, calling higher-rate investment securities and refinancing such securities at lower interest rates. Assuming this current low interest rate environment continues, we expect additional tax-exempt investment securities to be called by their issuers and be refinanced at lower interest rates, likely resulting in continued decreases on the yield of our tax-exempt investment securities portfolio.

The overall decrease in rates on average interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to a shift in the composition of total interest bearing liabilities to include a larger percentage of lower rate interest bearing deposits, which comprised 93.3%94.0% of total average interest bearing liabilities for the second quarter and 93.6% for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to 87.7%89.6% for the second quarter and 88.7% for the first quartersix months of 2014, partially offset by an increase in rates on interest bearing time deposits. The increase in interest bearing deposits as a percentage of total interest bearing liabilities is primarily due to theinterest bearing deposits assumed in the Summit and Intervest transactions.transactions, growth in interest bearing deposits as a result of increased deposit pricing in several target markets and the prepayment of $120 million of other borrowings, partially offset by the assumption of $52.2 million of subordinated debentures assumed in the Intervest transaction. The seveneight bps increase in rates on interest bearing time deposits for the second quarter of 2015 and first quartersix months of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014 and first quartersix months of 2014 is primarily due to a shift in the composition of interest bearing deposits to a larger percentage of higher costrate time deposits assumed inas a result of the Intervest acquisition, resulting in an increase in the percentageacquisition. The average balance of time deposits increased from 28.6% of total average interest bearing deposits for the firstsecond quarter of 2014 to 37.7%39.8% for the second quarter of 2015 and 28.6% for the first quartersix months of 2014 to 38.8% for the first six months of 2015. Additionally, throughout much of 2014, we increased deposit pricing in several

target markets to fund growth in loans and leases. While we had no such increased deposit pricing in any of our markets at March 31, 2015, toTo the extent we have future growth in loans and leases, we would expect to increase deposit pricing in certain target markets to fund such growth. Any such increase in deposit pricing is expected to result in increased deposit costs in future periods.

Our other borrowing sources include (i) repurchase agreements with customers (“repos”), (ii) other borrowings comprised primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (“FHLB”) advances, and, to a lesser extent, Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) borrowings and federal funds purchased and (iii) subordinated debentures. The rates on repos increased onetwo bps for the second quarter and the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to the same periodperiods of 2014. The rates on our other borrowing sources, which consist primarily of fixed rate callable FHLB advances, decreased 1726 bps in the second quarter and 22 bps for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to the first quartersame periods of 2014. This decrease in rates on other borrowings is primarily the result of our prepaying $90 million of fixed rate callable FHLB advances with a weighted average interest rate of 4.13% during the fourth quarter of 2014, and our prepaying $30 million of fixed rate callable FHLB advances with a weighted average interest rate of 4.07% during the first quarter of 2015. The weighted average interest rate on our remaining $160 million of fixed rate callable FHLB advances is approximately 3.56%3.54%. The rates paid on our subordinated debentures, which are tied to a spread over the 90-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and reset periodically, increased 5067 bps in the second quarter and 60 bps for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to the first quartersame periods of 2014. This increase in rates on our subordinated debentures is primarily due to the $52.2 million of subordinated debentures assumed in the Intervest transaction, which, net of amortization of the discount of the purchase accounting adjustments, had a weighted average interest rate of 4.18%4.13% at March 31,June 30, 2015.

The increase in average earning assets for the second quarter and first quartersix months of 2015 compared to the same periodperiods in 2014 was due to an increase in the average balances of non-purchased loans and leases of $1.43$1.56 billion for the second quarter and $1.49 billion for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to the first quartersame periods in 2014. Additionally, the average balance of purchased loans increased $0.94$0.84 billion for the second quarter and $0.89 billion during the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to the second quarter and first period insix months of 2014, primarily as a result of the Summit and Intervest acquisitions. The average balances of investment securities increased $143 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter in 2014, primarily as a result of investment securities acquired in the Summit acquisition and, to a lesser extent, the Intervest acquisition.

The following table sets forth certain information relating to our net interest income for the periods indicated. The yields and rates are derived by dividing interest income or interest expense by the average balance of the related assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from daily average balances for such assets and liabilities. The average balances of investment securities are computed based on amortized cost adjusted for unrealized gains and losses on investment securities AFS and other-than-temporary impairment writedowns. The yields on investment securities include amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. The average balance of non-purchased loans and leases includes non-purchased loans and leases on which we have discontinued accruing interest. The yields on non-purchased loans and leases and purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration at date of acquisition include late fees and amortization of certain deferred fees, origination costs and, for such purchased loans, accretion or amortization of any purchase accounting yield adjustment, which are considered adjustments to yields. The yields on purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration at date of acquisition consist of accretion of the net present value of expected future cash flows using the effective yield method over the term of the loans and include late fees. Interest expense and rates on other borrowings are presented net of interest capitalized on construction projects. The interest expense on the subordinated debentures assumed in the Intervest transaction includes the amortization of purchase accounting adjustments, using the level yield method, over the estimated holding period of eight years.

Information is provided in each category with respect to changes attributable to (1) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior yield/rate); (2) changes in yield/rate (changes in yield/rate multiplied by prior volume); and (3) changes in both yield/rate and volume (changes in yield/rate multiplied by changes in volume). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and yield/rate have all been allocated to the changes due to volume.

Non-Interest Income

Our non-interest income consists primarily of, among others, service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage lending income, trust income, BOLI income, other income from purchased loans, gains on investment securities and on sales of other assets and gains on merger and acquisition transactions.

Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2015 increased 42.8% to $29.1 million compared to $20.4 million for the first quarter of 2014. Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2014 included $4.7 million of tax-exempt bargain purchase gain from the acquisition of Bancshares. There were no bargain purchase gains in the first quarter of 2015.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased 17.5% to $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2014. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily a result of growth in the number of transaction accounts and the addition of deposit customers from our Summit acquisition, and, to a lesser extent, our Intervest acquisition.

Mortgage lending income increased 58.0% to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2014. The volume of originations of mortgage loans available for sale increased 61.3% to $62.5 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to $38.7 million for the first quarter of 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, approximately 42% of our originations of mortgage loans available for sale were related to mortgage refinancings and approximately 58% were related to new home purchases, compared to approximately 27% for refinancings and approximately 73% for new home purchases in the first quarter of 2014.

Trust income increased 8.8% to $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2014.

BOLI income increased 220.6% to $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to $2.3 million of tax-exempt income from BOLI death benefits realized during the first quarter of 2015.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, we entered into agreements with the FDIC terminating the loss share agreements for all seven of our FDIC-assisted acquisitions. As a result, we had no net accretion (amortization) of the FDIC loss share receivable and FDIC clawback payable in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $0.7 million of net accretion income in the first quarter of 2014.

Other income from purchased loans was $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2014. Net gains on sales of other assets were $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2014. The increases in other income from purchased loans and net gains on sales of other assets in the quarter just ended are, in part, attributable to our having terminated the loss share agreements with the FDIC. Subsequent to the termination of such loss share agreements, all recoveries, gains, charge-offs, losses and expenses related to the previously covered assets are recognized entirely by us, since the FDIC no longer shares in such items. Accordingly, our earnings are positively impacted to the extent we recognize recoveries in excess of the carrying value of such assets and gains on any sales. Conversely, our earnings are negatively impacted to the extent we recognize charge-offs, losses on any sales and expenses related to such assets.

Net gains on investment securities were $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to essentially none in the first quarter of 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, we sold certain of our longer term municipal bonds resulting in proceeds of $30.1 million and the net gains of $2.5 million. We utilized such proceeds to prepay $30 million of our highest rate callable FHLB advances resulting in prepayment penalties of $2.5 million. These transactions were executed for various reasons, including reducing interest rate risk, increasing secondary sources of liquidity and more efficiently allocating capital.

Non-Interest Income

Our non-interest income consists primarily of, among others, service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage lending income, trust income, BOLI income, other income from purchased loans, gains on investment securities and on sales of other assets and gains on merger and acquisition transactions.

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2015 increased 33.8% to $23.3 million compared to $17.4 million for the second quarter of 2014. Non-interest income for the first six months of 2015 increased 38.6% to $52.3 million compared to $37.7 million for the first six months of 2014. Non-interest income for the first six months of 2014 included $4.7 million of tax-exempt bargain purchase gain from the acquisition of Bancshares. There were no bargain purchase gains during the first six months of 2015.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased 7.3% to $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 12.0% to $13.7 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $12.2 million in the first six months of 2014. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily a result of growth in the number of transaction accounts and the addition of deposit customers from our Summit acquisition, and, to a lesser extent, our Intervest acquisition.

Mortgage lending income increased 57.4% to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2014. Mortgage lending income increased 57.6% to $3.3 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $2.1 million in the first six months of 2014. The volume of originations of mortgage loans available for sale increased 43.5% to $73.8 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $51.4 million for the second quarter of 2014. The volume of originations of mortgage loans available for sale increased 51.2% to $136.3 million for the first six months of 2015 compared to $90.1 million for the first six months of 2014.

Trust income increased 7.3% to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2014. Trust income increased 8.0% to $2.9 million for the first six months of 2015, compared to $2.7 million for the first six months of 2014.

BOLI income increased 39.7% to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to $85 million of BOLI purchased in May 2015. BOLI income increased 124.5% to $5.4 million for the first six months of 2015 compared to $2.4 million for the first six months of 2014, primarily due to $2.3 million in BOLI death benefits received in the first quarter of 2015 and $85 million of BOLI purchased in May 2015.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, we entered into agreements with the FDIC terminating the loss share agreements for all seven of our FDIC-assisted acquisitions. As a result, we had no net accretion (amortization) of the FDIC loss share receivable and FDIC clawback payable in the second quarter and first six months of 2015 compared to ($0.7) million of net amortization expense in the second quarter of 2014 and ($49,000) of net amortization expense for the first six months of 2014.

Other income from purchased loans was $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $15.9 million during the first six months of 2015 compared to $6.9 million during the first six months of 2014. Net gains on sales of other assets were $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $5.4 million during the first six months of 2015 compared to $2.4 million during the first six months of 2014. The increases in other income from purchased loans and net gains on sales of other assets are, in part, attributable to our having terminated the loss share agreements with the FDIC. Subsequent to the termination of such loss share agreements, all recoveries, gains, charge-offs, losses and expenses related to the previously covered assets are recognized entirely by us, since the FDIC no longer shares in such items. Accordingly, our earnings are positively impacted to the extent we recognize recoveries in excess of the carrying value of such assets and gains on any sales. Conversely, our earnings are negatively impacted to the extent we recognize charge-offs, losses on any sales and expenses related to such assets.

Net gains on investment securities were $85,000 in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $18,000 in the second quarter of 2014 and $2.6 million during the first six months of 2015 compared to $23,000 during the first six months of 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, we sold certain of our longer term municipal bonds resulting in proceeds of $30.1 million and the net gains of $2.5 million. We utilized such proceeds to prepay $30.0 million of our highest rate callable FHLB advances resulting in prepayment penalties of $2.5 million.

Non-Interest Expense

Our non-interest expense consists of salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment and other operating expenses. Non-interest expense increased 34.0%15.4% to $50.2$43.7 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2015 compared to $37.5$37.9 million for the second quarter of 2014. Non-interest expense increased 24.7% to $93.9 million for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to $75.3 million for the first six months of 2014. During the second quarter of 2015, our non-interest expense included approximately $1.6 million of acquisition-related and systems conversion expenses. During the second quarter of 2014, our non-interest expense included approximately $0.8 million of acquisition-related and systems conversion expenses. During the first quartersix months of 2015, our non-interest expense included $2.5 million in FHLB advance prepayment penalties, $1.3$2.8 million of acquisition-related and systems conversion expenses and $0.7 million of software and contract termination charges. During the first quartersix months of 2014, our non-interest expense included $0.7$1.5 million of acquisition-related and systemsystems conversion expenses and $5.0 million of software and contract termination charges. The software and contract termination charges are included in other non-interest expense in the table below.

Salaries and employee benefits, our largest component of non-interest expense, increased 27.7%20.3% to $22.6 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2015 compared to $17.7$18.8 million in the second quarter of 2014. Salaries and employee benefits increased 23.9% to $45.2 million for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to $36.5 million for the first six months of 2014. We had 1,5601,572 full-time equivalent employees at March 31,June 30, 2015 compared to 1,3061,528 full-time equivalent employees at March 31,June 30, 2014. The increase in our salaries and employee benefits for both the second quarter and first six months of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, despite the decrease in number of full-time equivalent employees at June 30, 2015 compared to June 30, 2014, is primarily attributable to the timing of acquisitions and subsequent reductions or eliminations of personnel upon completion of acquired systems conversions.

Net occupancy and equipment expense for the firstsecond quarter of 2015 increased 44.5%28.7% to $7.3 million compared to $5.0$5.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. Net occupancy and equipment expense for the first six months of 2015 increased 36.1% to $14.6 million compared to $10.8 million for the first quartersix months of 2014. At March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, we had 165 offices compared to 141 offices at March 31, 2014.

The increase in net occupancy and repossession expensesequipment expense for the second quarter and writedowns of foreclosed and other assets totaled $3.9 million in the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to $0.5 millionthe same periods in 2014, despite having the first quartersame number of 2014. This increase was due, in part,offices at both June 30, 2015 and 2014, is primarily attributable to our having terminated the loss share agreements withtiming of acquisitions, any subsequent office closures and the FDIC during the fourth quartereffect of 2014.such on net occupancy and equipment expense.

Our efficiency ratio (non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income – FTE and non-interest income) was 42.9%36.6% for the second quarter and 39.7% for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to 49.8%44.6% for the second quarter and 47.1% for the first quartersix months of 2014.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $18.1$24.2 million for the second quarter and $42.3 million for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to $8.7$12.3 million for the second quarter and $21.0 million for the first quartersix months of 2014. The effective income tax rate was 31.2%35.1% for the second quarter and 33.3% for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to 25.7%31.6% for the second quarter and 28.8% for the first quartersix months of 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate for the second quarter and first quartersix months of 2015 compared to the second quarter and first quartersix months of 2014 was due primarily to the decreasegrowth in tax-exempt income as a percentage of total income.that is subject to federal and/or state income taxes. The effective tax rates were also affected by various other factors including non-taxable income and non-deductible expenses.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loan and Lease Portfolio

Many of our construction and development loans provide for the use of interest reserves. When we underwrite construction and development loans, we consider the expected total project costs, including hard costs such as land, site work and construction costs and soft costs such as architectural and engineering fees, closing costs, leasing commissions and construction period interest. Based on the total project costs and other factors, we determine the required borrower cash equity contribution and the maximum amount we are willing to loan. In the vast majority of cases, we require that all of the borrower’s cash equity contribution be contributed prior to any material loan advances. This ensures that the borrower’s cash equity required to complete the project will be available for such purposes. As a result of this practice, the borrower’s cash equity typically goes toward the purchase of the land and early stage hard costs and soft costs. This results in us funding the loan later as the project progresses, and accordingly, we typically fund the majority of the construction period interest through loan advances. However, when we initially determine the borrower’s cash equity requirement, we typically require borrower’s cash equity in an amount to cover a majority, or all, of the soft costs, including an amount equal to construction period interest, and an appropriate portion of the hard costs. We advanced construction period interest on construction and development loans totaling $10.0$12.2 million in the second quarter and $22.2 in the first quartersix months of 2015. While we advanced these sums as part of the funding process, we believe that the borrowers in effect had in most cases already provided for these sums as part of their initial equity contribution. Specifically, the maximum committed balance of all construction and development loans which provide for the use of interest reserves at March 31,June 30, 2015 was approximately $4.1$4.9 billion, of which $1.4$1.7 billion was outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2015 and $2.7$3.2 billion remained to be advanced. The weighted average loan-to-cost on such loans, assuming such loans are ultimately fully advanced, will be approximately 52%54%, which means that the weighted average cash equity contributed on such loans, assuming such loans are ultimately fully advanced, will be approximately 48%46%. The weighted average final loan-to-value ratio on such loans, based on the most recent appraisals and assuming such loans are ultimately fully advanced, is expected to be approximately 45%.

The following table reflects total loans and leases as of March 31,June 30, 2015 grouped by expected amortizations, expected paydowns or the earliest repricing opportunity for floating rate loans. This cash flow or repricing schedule approximates our ability to reprice the outstanding principal of total loans and leases either by adjusting rates on existing loans and leases or reinvesting principal cash flow in new loans and leases. For non-purchased loans and leases and purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration on the date of purchase, the table below reflects the earliest contractual pricingrepricing period. For purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration at the date of purchase, the table below reflects estimated cash flows based on the most recent evaluation of each individual loan. Because income on purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration on the date of purchaseacquisition is recognized by accretion of the discount of estimated cash flows, such loans are not considered to be floating or adjustable rate loans and are reported below as fixed rate loans.

(1)We have included a floor rate in many of our loans and leases. As a result of such floor rates, many loans and leases will not immediately reprice in a rising rate environment if the interest rate index and margin on such loans and leases continue to result in a computed interest rate less than the applicable floor rate. The earnings simulation model results included elsewhere in the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk section of this quarterly report on Form 10-QMD&A include consideration of the impact of all interest rate floors and ceilings in loans and leases.

Nonperforming Assets

Non-Purchased Loans and Leases and Foreclosed Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of (1) nonaccrual loans and leases, (2) accruing loans and leases 90 days or more past due, (3) certain troubled and restructured loans for which a concession has been granted by us to the borrower because of a deterioration in the financial position of the borrower (TDRs) and (4) real estate or other assets that have been acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loan or lease obligations or upon foreclosure. Purchased loans are not included in the following table as nonperforming assets, except for their inclusion in total assets, but are analyzed and discussed separately elsewhere in this MD&A.

The accrual of interest on non-purchased loans and leases is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower or lessee may be unable to meet payments as they become due. We generally place a loan or lease on nonaccrual status when such loan or lease is (i) deemed impaired or (ii) 90 days or more past due, or earlier when doubt exists as to the ultimate collection of payments. We may continue to accrue interest on certain loans or leases contractually past due 90 days or more if such loans or leases are both well secured and in the process of collection. At the time a loan or lease is placed on nonaccrual status, interest previously accrued but uncollected is reversed and charged against interest income. Nonaccrual loans and leases are generally returned to accrual status when payments are less than 90 days past due and we reasonably expect to collect all payments. If a loan or lease is determined to be uncollectible, the portion of the principal determined to be uncollectible will be charged against the ALLL. Loans for which the terms have been modified and for which (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) we have granted a concession to the borrower are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and are included in impaired loans and leases. Income on nonaccrual loans or leases, including impaired loans and leases but excluding certain TDRs which continue to accrue interest, is recognized on a cash basis when and if actually collected. For the period ended March 31, 2015, there were no defaults during the preceding 12 months on any loans that were considered TDRs.

The following table presents a summary of nonperforming assets, excluding purchased loans, as of the dates indicated.

(1)Repossessed personal properties and real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure are initially recorded at the lesser of current principal investment or estimated market value less estimated cost to sell at the date of repossession or foreclosure. Valuations of these assets are periodically reviewed by management with the carrying value of such assets adjusted through non-interest expense to the then estimated market value net of estimated selling costs, if lower, until disposition.
(2)As a result of terminating our loss share agreements with the FDIC during the fourth quarter of 2014, we reclassified foreclosed assets previously reported as covered by FDIC loss share to foreclosed assets for the current and all prior periods. All prior period ratios of nonperforming assets to total assets have been recalculated to include foreclosed assets previously covered by FDIC loss share as nonperforming assets.
(3)Excludes purchased loans except for their inclusion in total assets.

If an adequate current determination of collateral value has not been performed, once a loan or lease is considered impaired, management seekswe seek to establish an appropriate value for the collateral. This assessment may include (i) obtaining an updated appraisal, (ii) obtaining one or more broker price opinions or comprehensive market analyses, (iii) internal evaluations or (iv) other methods deemed appropriate considering the size and complexity of the loan and the underlying collateral. On an ongoing basis, typically at least quarterly, we evaluate the underlying collateral on all impaired loans and leases and, if needed, due to changes in market or property conditions, the underlying collateral is reassessed and the estimated fair value is revised. The determination of collateral value includes any adjustments considered necessary related to estimated holding periods and estimated selling costs.

At March 31,June 30, 2015, we had reduced the carrying value of our non-purchased loans and leases deemed impaired (all of which were included in nonaccrual loans and leases) by $3.9$5.0 million to the estimated fair value of such loans and leases of $12.6$12.8 million. The adjustment to reduce the carrying value of such impaired loans and leases to estimated fair value consisted of $3.5$3.6 million of partial charge-offs and $0.4$1.4 million of specific loan and lease loss allocations. These amounts do not include our $14.1$12.3 million of impaired purchased loans at March 31,June 30, 2015.

Purchased Loans

Purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration at the date of acquisition are reviewed subsequent to the date of acquisition any time a loan is renewed or extended or at any time information becomes available to us that provides material insight regarding the loan’s performance, the borrower or the underlying collateral. To the extent that current information indicates it is probable that we will collect all amounts according to the contractual terms thereof, such loan is not considered impaired and is not considered in the determination of the required ALLL. To the extent that current information indicates it is probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms thereon, such loan is considered impaired and is considered in the determination of the required level of ALLL.

Purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration on the date of purchase are reviewed (i) any time a loan is renewed or extended, (ii) at any other time additional information becomes available to us that provides material additional insight regarding a loan’s performance, the status of the borrower, or the quality or value of the underlying collateral, or (iii) in conjunction with the annual review of projected cash flows of each acquired portfolio. We separately review the performance of the portfolio of purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration on an annual basis, or more frequently to the extent that material information becomes available regarding the performance of an individual loan, to make determinations of the constituent loans’ performance and to consider whether there has been any significant change in performance since our initial expectations established in conjunction with the determination of the Day 1 Fair Values or since our most recent review of such portfolio’s

performance. To the extent that a purchased loan with evidence of credit deterioration on the date of purchase is performing in accordance with or exceeding our performance expectation established in conjunction with the determination of the Day 1 Fair Values, such loan is rated FV66, is not included in any of the credit quality ratios, is not considered to be a nonaccrual, nonperforming or impaired loan, and is not considered in the determination of the required ALLL. To the extent that the performance of a loan’s performancepurchased loan with evidence of credit deterioration on the date of purchase has deteriorated from our expectation established in conjunction with the determination of the Day 1 Fair Values, such loan is rated FV88, is included in certain of our credit quality metrics, is considered an impaired loan, and is considered in the determination of the required level of ALLL.

The following table presents a summary of our impaired purchased loans as of the dates indicated.

As of March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014 and December 31, 2014, we had identified purchased loans where we had determined it was probable that we would be unable to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms thereof (for purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration at date of acquisition) or the expected performance of such loans had deteriorated from our performance expectations established in conjunction with the determination of the Day 1 Fair Values or since our most recent review of such portfolio’s performance (for purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration at date of acquisition). As a result, we recorded partial charge-offs totaling $1.3$0.4 million for such loans during the second quarter and $1.7 million for the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to $0.2$1.1 million during the second quarter and $1.3 for the first quartersix months of 2014. We also recorded $1.3 million during the first quarter of 2015 and $0.2 million during the first quarter of 2014 of provision for loan and lease losses of $0.4 million during the second quarter and $1.7 million during the first six months of 2015 compared to $1.1 million during the second quarter and $1.3 million during the first six months of 2014 to cover thesesuch charge-offs. In addition to these charge-offs, we transferred certain of these purchased loans to foreclosed assets. As a result of these actions, we had $14.1$12.3 million of impaired purchased loans at March 31,June 30, 2015, compared to $29.3$21.2 million at March 31,June 30, 2014 and $14.0 million at December 31, 2014.

Allowance and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

Our ALLL was $54.1$56.7 million, or 1.26%1.19% of total non-purchased loans and leases at March 31,June 30, 2015, compared to $52.9 million, or 1.33% of total non-purchased loans and leases at December 31, 2014 and $43.9$47.0 million, or 1.58%1.48% of total non-purchased loans and leases at March 31,June 30, 2014. We had no ALLL at March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014 or December 31, 2014 for our (i) purchased loans without evidence of credit deterioration at the date of acquisition as management’s analysis of such individual loans resulted in no impairment or all identified impairment on such loans had been charged off, or (ii) purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration at the date of acquisition as all such loans were performing in accordance with management’s expectations established in conjunction with the determination of the Day 1 Fair Values or all losses had been charged off on such loans whose performance had deteriorated from management’s expectations established in conjunction with the deteriorationdetermination of the Day 1 Fair Values. Our ALLL was equal to 377%349% of our total nonperforming non-purchased loans and leases at March 31,June 30, 2015, compared to 251% at December 31, 2014 and 372%255% at March 31,June 30, 2014.

The amount of provision to the ALLL is based on our analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL utilizing the criteria discussed in the Critical Accounting Policies section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The provision for loan and lease losses for the firstsecond quarter of 2015 was $6.3$4.3 million, including $5.0$3.9 million for non-purchased loans and leases and $1.3$0.4 million for purchased loans, compared to $1.3$5.6 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2014, including $1.1$4.5 million for non-purchased loans and leases and $0.2$1.1 million for purchased loans. The provision for loan and lease losses for the first six months of 2015 was $10.6 million, including $8.9 million for non-purchased loans and $1.7 million for purchased loans, compared to $6.9 million for the first six months of 2014, including $5.6 million for non-purchased loans and $1.3 million for purchased loans. The decrease in the provision for loan and lease loss during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in charge-offs associated with our non-purchased and purchased loans. The increase in the provision for loan and lease loss during the first six months of 2015 compared to the first six months of 2014 was due to an increase in charge-offs experienced during the first quarter of 2015 as well as the provision necessary to cover the growth of our non-purchased loan and lease portfolio.

Our provision to the ALLL for non-purchased loans and leases for the firstsecond quarter of 2015 is primarily the result of provision necessary to cover the growth of our non-purchased loan and lease portfolio, which increased $331$456.0 million during the firstsecond quarter of 2015. Our practice is to charge off any estimated loss as soon as we are able to identify and reasonably quantify such potential loss. Accordingly, only a small portion of our ALLL is needed for potential losses on non-performing loans. Our ALLL to non-purchased loans and leases has decreased to 1.26%1.19% at March 31,June 30, 2015, compared to 1.33% at December 31, 2014 and 1.58%1.48% at March 31,June 30, 2014 primarily as a result of the low level of net charge-offs in recent quarters and due to generally improving economic conditions in many of our markets. While we believe the ALLL at March 31,June 30, 2015 and related provision for the firstsecond quarter of 2015 were appropriate, changing economic and other conditions may require future adjustments to the ALLL or the amount of provision thereto.

The Company’sOur net charge-offs increased to $5.1$6.8 million for the first quartersix months of 2015, including $3.8$5.1 million for non-purchased loans and leases and $1.7 million for purchased loans, compared to $2.9 million for the first six months of 2014, including $1.6 million for non-purchased loans and leases and $1.3 million for purchased loans. The increase in our net charge-offs for non-purchased loans and leases increased in the quarter just endedwas primarily due to our sale during the first quarter of 2015 of $15.9 million of performing loans, with deteriorating credit trends, from our Corporate Loan Specialty Group resulting in net charge-offs of $2.4 million. Our net charge-offs for purchased loans increased induring the quarter just ended,first six months of 2015, in part, due to our having previously terminated the loss share agreements on our FDIC-assisted acquisitions.

Investment Securities

At March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014 and at December 31, 2014, we classified all of our investment securities portfolio as AFS. Accordingly, our investment securities are stated at estimated fair value in the consolidated financial statements with the unrealized gains and losses, net of related income tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The following table presents the amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities AFS as of the dates indicated. The Company’s investment in the CRA qualified investment fund includes shares held in a mutual fund that qualifies under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 for community reinvestment purposes. Our holdings of equity securities in FHLB and First National Banker’s Bankshares, Inc. (“FNBB”) do not have readily determinable fair values and are carried at cost.

Our investment securities portfolio is reported at estimated fair value, which included gross unrealized gains of $23.7$16.4 million and gross unrealized losses of $0.5$3.4 million at March 31,June 30, 2015; gross unrealized gains of $13.5$21.1 million and gross unrealized losses of $8.3$4.7 million at March 31,June 30, 2014; and gross unrealized gains of $24.4 million and gross unrealized losses of $1.2 million at December 31, 2014. Management believes that all of its unrealized losses on individual investment securities at March 31,June 30, 2015 are the result of fluctuations in interest rates and do not reflect deterioration in the credit quality of these investments. Accordingly, management considers these unrealized losses to be temporary in nature. We do not have the intent to sell these investment securities with unrealized losses and, more likely than not, will not be required to sell these investment securities before fair value recovers to amortized cost.

Other Interest Bearing Liabilities

We rely on other interest bearing liabilities to supplement the funding of our lending and investing activities. Such liabilities consist of repurchase agreements with customers, other borrowings (FHLB advances and, to a lesser extent, FRB borrowings and federal funds purchased) and subordinated debentures.

The following table reflects the average balance and rate paid for each category of other interest bearing liabilities for the periods indicated.

(1)Included in other borrowings at March 31,June 30, 2015 are FHLB advances that contain quarterly call features and mature as follows: 2017, $140$140.0 million at 3.70% weighted-average interest rate and 2018, $20$20.0 million at 2.52% weighted-average interest rate.

The decrease in other borrowings for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 is due to our prepaying $90 million of fixed rate callable FHLB advances during the fourth quarter of 2014 and prepaying $30 million of fixed rate callable FHLB advances during the first quarter of 2015. The increase in subordinated debentures is primarily due to the $52.2 million (net of purchase accounting adjustments) of subordinated debentures assumed in the Intervest transaction.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

On February 10, 2015, in conjunction with the Intervest acquisition, the Company acquired the Intervest Trusts with outstanding subordinated debentures totaling $56.7 million and related trust preferred securities totaling $55.0 million. On the date of such acquisition, the Company recorded the assumed subordinated debentures owed to the Intervest Trusts at estimated fair value of $52.2 million, based on an independent third party valuation, to reflect a current market interest rate for comparable obligations. The fair value adjustment of $4.5 million is being amortized, using a level-yield methodology over the estimated holding period of approximately eight years, as an increase in interest expense of the subordinated debentures owed to the Intervest Trusts.

These subordinated debentures and securities generally mature 30 years after issuance and may be prepaid at par, subject to regulatory approval, on or after approximately five years from the date of issuance, or at an earlier date upon certain changes in tax laws, investment company laws or regulatory capital requirements. These subordinated debentures and the related trust preferred securities provide us additional regulatory capital to support our expected future growth and expansion.

We may need to raise additional capital in the future to provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. As a publicly traded company, a likely source of additional funds is the capital markets, which can provide us with funds through the public issuance of equity, both common and preferred stock, and the issuance of senior debt and/or subordinated debentures. We have an effective shelf registration statement on file with the SEC which provides us increased flexibility and more efficient access to the public debt and equity markets if needed. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on, among other things, conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside of our control, and our financial performance.

Common Stockholders’ Equity and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.We use non-GAAP financial measures, specifically tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible common stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets, tangible book value per common share and return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity as important measures of the strength of our capital and our ability to generate earningearnings on tangible common equity invested by our shareholders. We believe presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information that contributes to a proper understanding of our financial results and capital levels. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the following tables.

Common Stock Dividend Policy. During the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2015, we paid a dividend of $0.13$0.135 per common share compared to $0.11$0.115 per common share in the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2014. On AprilJuly 1, 2015, our board of directors approved a dividend of $0.135$0.14 per common share that was paid on AprilJuly 24, 2015. The determination of future dividends on our common stock will depend on conditions existing at that time and approval of our board of directors.

Regulatory Capital Compliance

Bank and bank holding company regulatory authorities in the United States impose certain capital standards on all bank holding companies and banks. These capital standards require compliance with capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations and involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items, which are subject to risk weightings and various other factors.

On July 9, 2013, the FDIC and other federal banking regulators issued a final rule that substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and insured depository institutions, including the Company and the Bank, to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“Basel III”) and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Basel III Rules”). The Basel III Rules became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). The Basel III Rules require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (as defined).

Under the new Basel III Rules, common equity tier 1 capital consists of common stock and paid-in capital (net of treasury stock) and retained earnings. Common equity tier 1 capital is reduced by goodwill, certain intangible assets, net of associated deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets that arise from tax credit and net operating loss carryforwards, net of any valuation allowance, and certain other items as specified by the Basel III Rules.

Tier 1 capital includes common equity tier 1 capital and certain additional tier 1 items as provided under the Basel III Rules. The tier 1 capital for our holding company consists of common equity tier 1 capital and $118 million of trust preferred securities issued by the Trusts. The Basel III Rules include certain provisions forthat would require trust preferred securities to be phased out of qualifying for tier 1 capital. Currently, our trust preferred securities are grandfathered under the Basel III Rules and will continue to be included as tier 1 capital. However, should we continue to grow and exceed $15 billion in total assets, the grandfather provisions applicable to our trust preferred securities may no longer apply, depending on whether we cross the $15 billion threshold through organic growth or by acquisition. The common equity tier 1 capital and the tier 1 capital are the same for our bank subsidiary.

Basel III Rules allow for insured depository institutions to make a one-time election not to include most elements of accumulated other comprehensive income in regulatory capital and instead effectively use the existing treatment under the general risk-based capital rules. Insured depository institutions, including the Company and Bank, must make their accumulated

other comprehensive income opt-out election in the first Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (“Call Report”), Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (“FR Y-9C”) and Parent Company Only Financial Statements for Large Bank Holding Companies (“FR Y-9LP”) reports that are filed for the first quarter of 2015. We made this opt-out election in our Call Report, FR Y-9C and FR Y-9LP filed for the first quarter of 2015 to avoid significant variations in the level of capital depending upon the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the fair value of our investments securities portfolio.

Total capital includes tier 1 capital and tier 2 capital. Tier 2 capital includes, among other items,things, the allowable portion of the ALLL and any trust preferred securities that are excluded from tier 1 capital.

The Basel III Rules also changed the risk-weights of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposures. These include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and the unsecured portion of non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise on nonaccrual status; a 20% (up from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancellable; a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital; and increased risk weights (from 0% to up to 600%) for equity exposures.

The common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital ratios are calculated by dividing the respective capital amounts by risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing tier 1 capital by adjusted quarterly average total assets.

The Basel III Rules limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016, at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, increasing each year until fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019. When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Basel III Rules will require us to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% capital conservation buffer, which effectively results in a minimum ratio of 7.0% upon full implementation, (ii) a minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer, which effectively results in a minimum ratio of 8.50% upon full implementation, (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer, which effectively results in a minimum ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%.

The following table presents actual and required capital ratios as of March 31,June 30, 2015 for the Company and the Bank under the Basel III Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of March 31,June 30, 2015 based on the phase-in provisions of the Basel III Rules and the minimum required capital levels as of January 1, 2019 when the Basel III Rules have been fully phased-in. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Rules.

Liquidity

Bank Liquidity.Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to provide funds to satisfy demands from depositors, borrowers and other creditors by either converting assets into cash or accessing new or existing sources of incremental funds. Liquidity risk arises from the possibility we may be unable to satisfy current or future funding requirements and needs. The ALCO and Investments Committee (“ALCO”), which reports to the board of directors, has primary responsibility for oversight of our liquidity, funds management, asset/liability (interest rate risk) position and investment portfolio functions.

The objective of managing liquidity risk is to ensure the cash flow requirements resulting from depositor, borrower and other creditor demands are met, as well as operating cash needs of the Company, and the cost of funding such requirements and needs is reasonable. We maintain an interest rate risk, liquidity and funds management policy and a contingency funding plan that, among other things, include policies and procedures for managing liquidity risk. Generally we rely on deposits, repayments of loans and leases, and repayments of our investment securities as our primary sources of funds. Our principal deposit sources include consumer, commercial and public funds customers in our markets. We have used these funds, together with wholesale deposit sources such as brokered deposits, along with FHLB advances, federal funds purchased and other sources of short-term borrowings, to make loans and leases, acquire investment securities and other assets and to fund continuing operations.

Deposit levels may be affected by a number of factors, including rates paid by competitors, general interest rate levels, returns available to customers on alternative investments, general economic and market conditions and other factors. Loan and lease repayments are generally a relatively stable source of funds but are subject to the borrowers’ and lessees’ ability to repay the loans and leases, which can be adversely affected by a number of factors including changes in general economic conditions, adverse trends or events affecting business industry groups or specific businesses, declines in real estate values or markets, business closings or lay-offs, inclement weather, natural disasters and other factors. Furthermore, loans and leases generally are not readily convertible to cash. Accordingly, we may be required from time to time to rely on secondary sources of liquidity to meet growth in loans and leases and deposit withdrawal demands or otherwise fund operations. Such secondary sources include wholesale deposit sources, FHLB advances, secured and unsecured federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks, FRB borrowings and/or accessing the capital markets.

At March 31,June 30, 2015, we had substantial unused borrowing availability. This availability was primarily comprised of the following four options: (1) $1.16$1.66 billion of available blanket borrowing capacity with the FHLB, (2) $60$137 million of investment securities available to pledge for federal funds or other borrowings, (3) $144$170 million of available unsecured federal funds borrowing lines and (4) up to $205$149 million of available borrowing capacity from borrowing programs of the FRB.

We anticipate we will continue to rely primarily on deposits, repayments of loans and leases and repayments of our investment securities to provide liquidity, as well as other funding sources as appropriate. Additionally, where necessary, the sources of borrowed funds described above will be used to augment our primary funding sources.

Sources and Uses of Funds.Operating activities provided net cash of $45.8$44.9 million infor the first quartersix months of 2015 and $18.2$20.1 million infor the first quartersix months of 2014. Net cash used or provided by operating activities is comprised primarily of net income, adjusted for non-cash items and for changes in various operating assets and liabilities.

Investing activities providedused net cash of $227.4$39.2 million in the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to $38.4and used $118.8 million in the first quartersix months of 2014. The increasedecrease in net cash providedused by investing activities of $188.9$79.6 million was primarily the result of the net cash of $274.3 million received in the Intervest acquisition. Additionally, the net activity in our investment securities portfolio provided $80.3$76.8 million during the first quartersix months of 2015 and used $3.8compared to $43.0 million during the first quartersix months of 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, we sold certain of our longer term municipal bonds resulting in net sales proceeds of $30.1 million. Additionally, theThe current low interest rate environment has resulted in many issuers of investment securities, particularly tax-exempt municipal securities, to call higher rate securities and refinance such securities at lower interest rates. The investing cash flow provided by our Intervest transaction and investment securities portfolio was partially offset by investing activities cash flow used to purchase $85.0 million in BOLI policies during the first six months of 2015 compared to no BOLI purchases during the first six months of 2014 and investing activities cash flow used to fund the continued growth in our loan and lease portfolio, which used $142.1$338.0 million in the first quartersix months of 2015 compared to $61.4$332.3 million in the first quartersix months of 2014.

Financing activities provided $5.5$359.0 million and $13.4 million in the first quartersix months of 2015 and used $64.2 million in the first quarter of 2014.2014, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of an increase in net cash provided by our deposit activities, which provided $35.6$406.3 million during the first quartersix months of 2015 to help fund our loan and lease growth. Our deposit activities used $56.7growth compared to $41.2 million of net cash provided during the first quartersix months of 2014. This increase in financing activities cash flows provided by our deposit activities was partially offset by our prepayingrepayment of $30.0other borrowings, which used $31.4 million of our highest fixed rate callable FHLB advances during the first quartersix months of 2015.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments.We are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments primarily include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our outstanding guarantees and commitments as of March 31,June 30, 2015.

Growth and Expansion

De Novo Growth.In 2014 we opened loan production offices for our Real Estate Specialties Group, or RESG, in Houston, Texas and in Los Angeles, California. We also opened a third retail banking office in Bradenton, Florida, a retail banking office in Cornelius, North Carolina and a retail banking office in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. In the second half of 2015, we expect to open our fourth retail banking office in Houston, Texas and a loan production office in Greensboro, North Carolina. During 2016, we expect to open our first retail banking office in Siloam Springs in northwest Arkansas, and our second retail banking office in Springdale, Arkansas.Arkansas, our third retail banking office in Fayetteville, Arkansas and our first retail banking office in McKinney, Texas.

We intend to continue our growth andde novo branching strategy in the future years through the opening of additional branches and loan production offices as our needs and resources permit.offices. Opening new offices is subject to local banking market conditions, availability of suitable sites, hiring qualified personnel, obtaining regulatory and other approvals and many other conditions and contingencies that we cannot predict with certainty. We may increase or decrease our expected number of new office openings as a result of a variety of factors including our financial results, changes in economic or competitive conditions, strategic opportunities or other factors.

During the first quartersix months of 2015, we spent $4.0$9.7 million on capital expenditures for premises and equipment. Our capital expenditures for 2015 are expected to be in the range of $15 million to $30$25 million, including progress payments on construction projects expected to be completed in 2015 and 2016, furniture and equipment costs and acquisition of sites for future development. Actual expenditures may vary significantly from those expected, depending on the number and cost of additional branch offices acquired or constructed and sites acquired for future development, progress or delays encountered on ongoing and new construction projects, delays in or inability to obtain required approvals, potential premises and equipment expenditures associated with acquisitions, if any, and other factors.

Acquisitions.We have shown substantial growth through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. Since 2010, we have completed 1213 acquisitions, including seven FDIC-assisted transactions, and on May 6, 2015, we announced our 13th acquisition.transactions.

On February 10, 2015, we completed our acquisition of Intervest and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary Intervest National Bank, headquartered in New York, New York. The acquisition of Intervest added seven full service banking offices including one in New York City, five in Clearwater, Florida and one in Pasadena, Florida.

On May 6,August 5, 2015, we entered into a definitive agreement and plancompleted our acquisition of merger and reorganization (the “BCAR Agreement”) with Bank of the Carolinas Corporation (“BCAR”) and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary Bank of the Carolinas, headquartered in Mocksville, North Carolina, whereby the Company will acquire allCarolina. The acquisition of the outstanding common stock of BCAR. Bank of the Carolinas operatesBCAR added eight full service banking offices in North Carolina, including one each in Advance, Asheboro, Concord, Harrisburg, Landis, Lexington, Mocksville and Winston-Salem. Upon the closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2015, BCAR will merge into the Company and Bank of the Carolinas will merge into the Bank. Completion of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including receipt of customary regulatory approvals and the approval of BCAR shareholders.

We expect to continue growing through both ourde novo branching strategy and traditional acquisitions. With respect to ourde novo branching strategy, futurede novo branches are expected to be focused primarily in states where we currently have banking offices and we expect to begin focusing on larger markets and MSAs across the U.S. where we currently do not have offices. Future RESG loan production offices are expected to be focused in strategically important markets (most likely Washington, D.C., Seattle, Boston and Chicago). With respect to traditional acquisitions, we are seeking acquisitions that are either immediately accretive to book value, tangible book value, net income and diluted earnings per share, or strategic in location, or both.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See Note 1618 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of certain recently issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest rate risk results from timing differences in the repricing of assets and liabilities or from changes in relationships between interest rate indexes. Our interest rate risk management is the responsibility of ALCO, which reports to the board of directors.

We regularly review our exposure to changes in interest rates. Among the factors considered are changes in the mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, interest rate spreads and repricing periods. Typically, ALCO reviews on at least a quarterly basis our relative ratio of rate sensitive assets (“RSA”) to rate sensitive liabilities (“RSL”) and the related cumulative gap for different time periods. However, the primary tool used by ALCO to analyze our interest rate risk and interest rate sensitivity is an earnings simulation model.

This earnings simulation modeling process projects a baseline net interest income (assuming no changes in interest rate levels) and estimates changes to that baseline net interest income resulting from changes in interest rate levels. We rely primarily on the results of this model in evaluating our interest rate risk. This model incorporates a number of additional factors including: (1) the expected exercise of call features on various assets and liabilities, (2) the expected rates at which various RSA and RSL will reprice, (3) the expected growth in various interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and the expected interest rates on new assets and liabilities, (4) the expected relative movements in different interest rate indexes which are used as the basis for pricing or repricing various assets and liabilities, (5) existing and expected contractual cap and floor rates on various assets and liabilities, (6) expected changes in administered rates on interest bearing transaction, savings, money market and time deposit accounts and the expected impact of competition on the pricing or repricing of such accounts, (7) the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be received on purchased loans and (8) other relevant factors. Inclusion of these factors in the model is intended to more accurately project our expected changes in net interest income resulting from interest rate changes. We typically model our change in net interest income assuming interest rates go up 100 bps, up 200 bps, up 300 bps, up 400 bps, down 100 bps, down 200 bps, down 300 bps and down 400 bps. Based on current conditions, we believe that modeling our change in net interest income assuming interest rates go down 100 bps, down 200 bps, down 300 bps and down 400 bps is not meaningful. For purposes of this model, we have assumed that the change in interest rates phases in over a 12-month period. While we believe this model provides a reasonably accurate projection of our interest rate risk, the model includes a number of assumptions and predictions which may or may not be correct and may impact the model results. These assumptions and predictions include inputs to compute baseline net interest income, growth rates, expected changes in administered rates on interest bearing deposit accounts, competition and a variety of other factors that are difficult to accurately predict. Accordingly, there can be no assurance the earnings simulation model will accurately reflect future results.

The following table presents the earnings simulation model’s projected impact of a change in interest rates on the projected baseline net interest income for the 12-month period commencing AprilJuly 1, 2015. This change in interest rates assumes parallel shifts in the yield curve and does not take into account changes in the slope of the yield curve or the impact of any possible future acquisitions.

In the event of a shift in interest rates, management may take certain actions intended to mitigate the negative impact to net interest income or to maximize the positive impact to net interest income. These actions may include, but are not limited to, restructuring of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, seeking alternative funding sources or investment opportunities and modifying the pricing or terms of loans, leases and deposits.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

On January 5, 2012, the Company and the Bank were served with a summons and complaint filed on December 19, 2011, in the Circuit Court of Lonoke County, Arkansas, Division III, styledRobert Walker, Ann B. Hines and Judith Belk vs. Bank of the Ozarks, Inc. and Bank of the Ozarks, Case No. CV-2011-777. In addition, on December 21, 2012, the Bank was served with a summons and complaint filed on December 20, 2012, in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas, Ninth Division, styledAudrey Muzingo v. Bank of the Ozarks, Case No. 60 CV-12-6043. The complaint in each case alleges that the Company and/or Bank have harmed the plaintiffs, current or former customers of the Bank, by improper, unfair, and unconscionable assessment and collection of excessive overdraft fees from the plaintiffs. According to the complaints, plaintiffs claim that the Bank employs sophisticated software to automate its overdraft system, and that this system unfairly and inequitably manipulates and alters customers’ transaction records in order to maximize overdraft penalties, particularly utilizing a practice of posting of items in “high-to-low” order, despite the actual sequence in which such items are presented for payment. Plaintiffs claim that the Bank’s deposit agreements with customers do not adequately disclose the Bank’s overdraft assessment policies and are ambiguous, deceptive, unfair, and misleading. The complaint in each case alleges that these actions and omissions constitute breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unconscionable conduct, conversion, unjust enrichment, and violation of the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The complaint in theWalker case also includes a count for conversion. Each of the complaints seeks to have the cases certified by the court as a class action for all Bank account holders similarly situated, and seeks a declaratory judgment as to the wrongful nature of the Bank’s overdraft fee policies, restitution of overdraft fees paid by the plaintiffs and the putative class (defined as all Bank customers residing in Arkansas) as a result of the actions cited in the complaints, disgorgement of profits as a result of the alleged wrongful actions, and unspecified compensatory and statutory or punitive damages, together with pre-judgment interest, costs, and plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees.

The Company and Bank filed a motion to dismiss and to compel arbitration in theWalker case. The trial court denied the motion and found that the arbitration provision contained in the controlling Consumer Deposit Account Agreement was unconscionable and thus unenforceable on the grounds that the provision was the result of unequal bargaining power. The Company and Bank appealed the trial court’s ruling to the Arkansas Court of Appeals on an interlocutory basis. On September 18, 2013, a three-judge panel of the Arkansas Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s ruling and remanded the case to the trial court for the purpose of entering an order compelling arbitration. On October 7, 2013, the plaintiffs filed petitions for reconsideration and review before the Arkansas Court of Appeals and Arkansas Supreme Court, respectively. On October 30, 2013, the Arkansas Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs’ petition for reconsideration. In January 2014, the Arkansas Supreme Court granted the plaintiff’s petition for review. Oral arguments were presented to the Arkansas Supreme Court on May 1, 2014. On May 15, 2014, the Arkansas Supreme Court vacated the Arkansas Court of Appeals’ decision, reversing and remanding the case to the trial court to determine, in the first instance, whether there is a valid agreement to arbitrate disputes between the named plaintiffs and the Bank.

An evidentiary hearing was conducted by the trial court on the arbitration issue on October 1, 2014, and the trial court took the matter under advisement. On October 30, 2014, the trial court issued an order once again denying the Company and Bank’s motion to dismiss and to compel arbitration. The trial court ruled that the Consumer Deposit Account Agreement containing the arbitration provision was not enforceable because of a lack of mutual agreement and lack of mutual obligation. The Company and Bank have appealed the trial court’s ruling to the Arkansas Supreme Court on an interlocutory basis. The Company and Bank filed their initial appellate brief on April 14, 2015. The plaintiffs filed their appellate brief on May 14, 2015, and the Company and the Bank filed their reply brief on May 29, 2015. The Arkansas Supreme Court has determined that oral arguments are unnecessary. A ruling from the Arkansas Supreme Court is expected in September or October of 2015.

The Plaintiff in theMuzingo case has agreed to stay the proceedings in that case pending the outcome of the appeal in theWalker case. The Company and the Bank believe the Plaintiffs’ claims in each of these cases are unfounded and subject to meritorious defenses and intend to vigorously defend against these claims.

The Company is party to various other legal proceedings, as both plaintiff and defendant, arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims of lender liability, broken promises, and other similar lending-related claims. While the ultimate resolution of these various claims and proceedings cannot be determined at this time, management of the Company believes that such claims and proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity of the Company.
