Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Such statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements after this date.

Unrealized losses on debt securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality (rated AA or higher), management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

Credit Quality Indicators:The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includesnon-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans as well asnon-homogeneous residential real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

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

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

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans. The following table includes PCI loans, which are included in the “Substandard” column. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

NOTE 5—SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENT TO REPURCHASE

Our subsidiary bank enters into borrowing arrangements with our retail business customers and correspondent banks through agreements to repurchase (“securities sold under agreements to repurchase”) under which the bank pledges investment securities owned and under its control as collateral against these short-term borrowing arrangements. At maturity the securities underlying the agreements are returned to the Company. At JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, these short-term borrowings totaled $32,132$32,862 and $36,496, respectively, and were secured by securities with carrying amounts of $41,397$41,279 and $41,136, respectively.

NOTE 6—SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

In connection with the Company’s 2010 private offering, 32,425 warrants were issued to shareholders, one warrant for every twenty shares of common stock purchased. Each warrant allowsallowed the shareholders to purchase an additional share of common stock at $12.00 per share. The warrants were issued with an effective date of March 30, 2010 and were exercisable in whole or in part up to seven years following the date of issuance.issuance, and they expired on March 30, 2017. The warrants were detachable from the common stock. There were 12,461 and 3,7756,575 warrants exercised during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. A summary of the stock warrant activity for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016 follows:

The warrants expired on March 30, 2017; therefore at JuneSeptember 30, 2017, there were no outstanding warrants associated with the 2010 offering.

The Company has two share based compensation plans as described below. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was $788$735 and $537$406 and $1,235$1,970 and $795$1,201 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The total income tax benefit, which is shown on the Consolidated Statements of Income as a reduction of income tax expense, was $357$261 and $450$711 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017. The total income tax benefit for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016 was $509 for both periods.$107 and $616, respectively.

Stock Options: The Company’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), as amended and shareholder-approved, provides for authorized shares up to 4,000,000. At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, there were 1,960,041 authorized shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan, although the Company has ceased issuing awards under the 2007 Plan.

The 2007 Plan provides that no options intended to be ISOs may be granted after April 9, 2017. As a result, the Company’s board of directors approved, and recommended to its shareholders for approval, a new equity incentive plan, the 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. The Company’s shareholders approved the 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan at the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders. The terms of the 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan are substantially similar to the terms of the 2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan it was intended to replace. The 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan provides for authorized shares up to 5,000,000. At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, there were 4,790,7394,762,750 authorized shares available for issuance under the 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.

Employee, organizer and director awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant; those option awards have a vesting period of three to five years and have aten-year contractual term. The Company assigns discretion to its Board of Directors to make grants either as qualified incentive stock options or asnon-qualified stock options. All employee grants are intended to be treated as qualified incentive stock options, if allowable. All other grants are expected to be treated asnon-qualified.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatilities of a peer group. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.

The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

The fair value of options granted was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.

Restricted Stock: Additionally, the 2007 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and the 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan each provides for the granting of restricted share awards and other performance related incentives. When the restricted shares are awarded, a participant receives voting and dividend rights with respect to the shares, but is not able to transfer the shares until the restrictions have lapsed. These awards have a vesting period of three to five years and vest in equal annual installments on the anniversary date of the grant.

NOTE 7—REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certainoff-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. Banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019.

The Basel III rules additionally provide for countercyclical capital requirements so that the required amount of capital increases in times of economic expansion and decreases in times of economic contraction, consistent with safety and soundness. Under the Basel III rules, banks must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional Common Equity Tier 1 Capital equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above each of the required minimum capital levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying certain discretionary bonuses. This new capital conservation buffer requirement was phased in beginning January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully implemented at 2.5% in January 2019. The capital conservation buffer in effect for 2017 is 1.25%.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for the Company and Bank:

Dividend Restrictions: The Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements described above. Neither the Company nor the Bank may currently pay dividends without prior written approval from its primary regulatory agencies.

NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

Derivatives: The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Appraisals for impaired loans are generally obtained annually but may be obtained more frequently based on changing circumstances as part of the aforementioned quarterly evaluation.

Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated no less frequently than annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Foreclosed assets are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the credit administration department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On an annual basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value.

Loans Held For Sale:Sale: The Company has elected the fair value option for loans held for sale to align with other accounting policies related to mortgage banking, such as mortgage banking derivatives. These loans are typically sold to an investor following loan origination and the fair value of such accounts are readily available based on direct quotes from investors or similar transactions experienced in the secondary loan market. Fair value adjustments, as well as realized gains and losses are recorded in current earnings. Fair value is determined by market prices for similar transactions adjusted for specific attributes of that loan (Level 2).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial assets and liabilities for which the Company has elected the fair value option, are summarized below:

The methods and assumptions not previously described used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents:The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b) Loans:Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

(c) Restricted Equity Securities: It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank or Federal Reserve Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

(d) Mortgage Servicing Rights: Fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on valuation models that calculate the present value of estimated net cash flows based on industry market data. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net cash flows resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(e) Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest andnon-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of fixed-term money market accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(f) Federal Funds Purchased and Repurchase Agreements:The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(g) Federal Home Loan Bank Advances: The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(h) Subordinated Notes: The fair values of the Company’s subordinated notes are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(i) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classification based on the asset/liability with which they are associated.

(j)Off-balance Sheet Instruments: Fair values foroff-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

NOTE 9—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Thetwo-class method is used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under thetwo-class method, earnings available to common shareholders for the period are allocated between common shareholders and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

NOTE 10—SUBORDINATED DEBT ISSUANCE

The Company’s subordinated notes, net of issuance costs, totaled $58,426$58,470 and $58,337 at JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016, respectively. For regulatory capital purposes, the subordinated notes are treated as Tier 2 capital, subject to certain limitations, and are included in total regulatory capital when calculating the Company’s total capital to risk weighted assets ratio as indicated in Note 7 of these consolidated financial statements.

The Company completed the issuance of $60,000 in principal amount of subordinated notes in two separate offerings. In March 2016, $40,000 of 6.875%fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (the “March 2016 Subordinated Notes”) were issued in a public offering to accredited institutional investors, and in June 2016, $20,000 of 7.00%fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (the “June 2016 Subordinated Notes”) were issued to certain accredited institutional investors in a private offering. The subordinated notes are unsecured and will rank at least equally with all of the Company’s other unsecured subordinated indebtedness and will be effectively subordinated to all of our secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. The subordinated notes will be subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, and will rank structurally junior to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries including, in the case of the Company’s bank subsidiary, its depositors, and any preferred equity holders of our subsidiaries. The holders of the subordinated notes may be fully subordinated to interests held by the U.S. government in the event that we enter into a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, or similar proceeding.

The issuance costs related to the March 2016 Subordinated Notes amounted to $1,382 and are being amortized as interest expense over theten-year term of the March 2016 Subordinated Notes. The issuance costs related to the June 2016 Subordinated Notes were $404 and are being amortized as interest expense over theten-year term of the June 2016 Subordinated Notes. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, amortization of issuance costs has amounted to $45 and $34, respectively.for both periods. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, amortization of issuance costs has amounted to $89$133 and $34,$79, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

The Company’s accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. Accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 16, 2017. The critical accounting policies require judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. Management has established policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The following is a brief summary of the more significant policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors.

Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on acase-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

All loans classified by management as substandard or worse are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component coversnon-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on a combination of the Bank’s loss history and loss history from the Bank’s peer group over the past three years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issuedASU2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. UnderASU 2016-09 all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share-based payment awards are to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement during the period in which they occur. Previously, such amounts were recorded in the pool of excess tax benefits included in additionalpaid-in capital, if such pool was available. Because excess tax benefits are no longer recognized in additionalpaid-in capital, the assumed proceeds from applying the treasury stock method when computing earnings per share excludes the amount of excess tax benefits that would have previously been recognized in additionalpaid-in capital. Additionally, excess tax benefits are classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity rather than as a financing activity, as was previously the case.ASU 2016-09 also provides that an entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest (current GAAP) or account for forfeitures when they occur.ASU 2016-09 changed the threshold to qualify for equity classification (rather than as a liability) to permit withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates (rather than the minimum as was previously the case) in the applicable jurisdictions. The Company elected to adopt this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2016, effective as of January 1, 2016. The adoption of this ASU decreased income tax expense for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016 by $509$616 and increased diluted earnings per share by $0.04. The adoption of this ASU also impacted previously reported quarterly earnings and/orand earnings per share in the third quarter of 2016 as follows: (1) first quarter 2016 – decreasedby decreasing income tax expense by $107 and increasing diluted earnings per share by $0.01; and (2) second quarter 2016 – decreased income tax expense by $509 and increased diluted earnings per share by $0.04.$0.01.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU2014-09 creates a new topic in the FASB ASC, Topic 606. In addition to superseding and replacing nearly all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, ASU2014-09 establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, ASU2014-09 added a new Subtopic to the ASC, Other Assets and Deferred Costs: Contracts with Customers (“ASC340-40”), to provide guidance on costs related to obtaining a contract with a customer and costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer that are not in the scope of another ASC Topic. The new guidance does not apply to certain contracts within the scope of other ASC Topics, such as lease contracts, insurance contracts, financing arrangements, financial instruments, guarantees other than product or service warranties, andnon-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers. The amendments are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Most of the Company’s revenues come from financial instruments, like loans, investment securities and other financial instruments which are not included in the scope of this ASU. The Company’s revenue recognition pattern for revenue streams within the scope of ASU2014-09, including but not limited to service charges on deposit accounts, and gains/losses on the sale of OREO and wealth management income, is not expected to change significantly from current practice. The standard permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently planning to use the modified retrospective transition method which requires application of ASU2014-09 to uncompleted contracts at the date of adoption. Periods prior to the date of adoption are not retrospectively revised, but a cumulative effect of adoption is recognized for the impact of the ASU on uncompleted contracts at the date of adoption. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-01,Financial Instruments (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends prior guidance to require an entity to measure its equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. An entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The new guidance simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, requires public entities to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in fair value

of a liability resulting from changes in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has selected the fair value option for financial instruments and requires separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset. The amendments are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Management has not yet determined the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02 which createsTopic 842, Leases and supersedesTopic 840, Leases. ASU2016-02 is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions, by increasing transparency and comparability among organizations. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to record all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months on their balance sheet as lease liabilities with a correspondingright-of-use asset. ASU2016-02 maintains the dual model for lease accounting, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance, with lease classification determined in a manner similar to existing lease guidance. The new guidance will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. At the time this ASU is adopted, the Company will recognize aright-of-use asset, and a lease liability for all leases, which will initially be measured at the present value of lease payments, and a single lease cost calculated so that the costs of the leases are allocated over the terms of the Company’s leases on a generally straight-line basis. Since an asset will be recognized at the time of adoption, the Company’s regulatory capital ratios will be impacted. Management is evaluating the impact ASU2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses onavailable-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for calendar year entities). Early application will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently gathering information, reviewing possible vendors and has formed a committee to formulate the methodology to be used. Most importantly, the Company is gathering data to enable review scenarios and to determine which calculations will produce the most reliable results. The impact of adopting ASU2016-13 is not currently known.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This Accounting Standards Update addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement ofzero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLIs) (including bank-owned life insurance policies (BOLIs)); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments in this Update are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged.ASU 2017-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. Adoption ofASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-08,Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. This Update shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity.ASU 2017-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance calls for a modified retrospective transition approach under which a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions ofASU 2017-08 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-09,Compensation - Stock Compensation (Subtopic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU2017-09 clarifies when changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Under the new guidance, an entity will not apply modification accounting to a share-based payment award if all of the following are the same immediately before and after the change: (i) the fair value of the award, (ii) the vesting conditions of the award, and (iii) the classification of the award as either an equity or liability instrument. ASU2017-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires companies to apply the requirements prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. ASU2017-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-12,Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The objective of this ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition to that main objective, the amendments in this Update make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the Update. The Company currently does not have any hedging activities that would be subject to this Update; however, management may consider hedging activities in the future. Adoption of this Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR

THE THREE AND SIXNINE MONTHS ENDED JUNESEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

(Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

Overview

The Company reported net income of $8,874$8,889 and $16,808$25,697 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $7,508$7,137 and $13,741$20,878 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, respectively. After earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest and after the payment of preferred dividends on the shares of SeniorNon-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) pursuant to the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”), the Company’s net earnings available to common shareholders for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 was $8,866$8,889 and $16,800,$25,689, respectively, compared to $7,508$7,137 and $13,718$20,855 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in net earnings available to common shareholders for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 was increased interest income on loans and investment securities compared with the same periods in 2016. The increase in loans was due to significant organic growth. The growth in the securities portfolio is primarily attributable to the Company’s leverage program to utilize proceeds received from capital raised during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Net Interest Income/Margin

Net interest income consists of interest income generated by earning assets less interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities and is the most significant component of our revenues.

For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, interest income increased $8,725$8,056 and $16,705,$24,761, or 35.9%31.3% and 35.7%34.1%, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2016, due to growth in both the loan and investment securities portfolios. For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, interest expense increased $4,190$4,405 and $7,803,$12,208, or 96.3%87.2% and 102.2%96.2%, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2016, as a result of increases in interest-bearing deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and subordinated notes.

Interest-earning assets averaged $3,375,905$3,351,421 and $2,404,060$2,576,294 during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $971,845,$775,127, or 40.4%30.1%. This increase was due to growth in all types of interest-earning assets, but the largest growth occurred in loans and investment securities. Average loans increased 34.0%26.5%, and investment securities increased 48.4%31.8%, when comparing the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with the same period in 2016. When comparing the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, the yield on average interest earning assets, adjusted for tax equivalent yield, decreased 11increased five basis points in 2017 to 4.09%4.17% compared to 4.20%4.12% for the same period during 2016. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the tax equivalent yield on available for sale securities was 2.68%2.61%, and for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, the tax equivalent yield on available for sale securities was 2.48%2.42%. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the tax equivalent yield on held to maturity securities was 4.24%4.11%, and for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, the tax equivalent yield on held to maturity securities was 3.94%3.75%. The primary driver for the increase in yields on securities for the three- and six-month periodsthree-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 was the volume oftax-exempt municipal securities purchased during the past 12 months, which increased tax equivalent yields when comparing the three-month period in 2017 with the same period in 2016.

Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $2,909,508$2,856,337 during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, compared to $2,065,486$2,201,206 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $844,022,$655,131, or 40.9%29.8%.

Rapid growth in the loan portfolio also resulted in an increase in average FHLB advances of $158,516, and also subordinated notes and other borrowings increased $19,424,$202,445 when comparing the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with the same period in 2016.

For the three-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 3340 basis points to 1.18%1.31% from 0.85%0.91%. The increase was due to rate increases in the cost of funds for interest-bearing deposits, FHLB advances and Federal funds purchased.

Interest-earning assets averaged $3,280,739$3,304,558 and $2,290,583$2,427,824 during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $990,156,$876,734, or 43.2%36.1%. This increase was due to growth in both the loan portfolio and the securities portfolio over the past year. Average loans increased 35.4%28.6%, and investment securities increased 55.4%46.8%, when comparing the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with the same period in 2016. When comparing the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, the yield on average interest earning assets, adjusted for tax equivalent yield decreased 172 basis points to 4.08%4.11% in 2017 compared to 4.25%4.13% for the same period during 2016.

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, the tax equivalent yield on loans was 4.92%4.96% and 5.16%4.95% respectively. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, the tax equivalent yield on loans was 4.93%5.03% and 5.09%4.96%, respectively. The primary driver for the decreaseincrease in yields on loans for the three- and six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 was thean increase in deferred cost amortization that was recognizedloan interest rates when comparing the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017compared with the same periods in 2016, which was offset by discount accretion income related to purchased loans during these same comparative periods.2016.

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the tax equivalent yield on available for sale securities was 2.69%2.66%, and for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, the tax equivalent yield on available for sale securities was 2.52%2.48%. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the tax equivalent yield on held to maturity securities was 4.22%4.18%, and for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, the tax equivalent yield on held to maturity securities was 4.03%3.92%. The primary driver for the increase in yields on securities for the six-monthnine-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 was the volume oftax-exempt municipal securities purchased during the past 12 months, which increased tax equivalent yields when comparing the six-monthnine-month period in 2017 with the same periodsperiod in 2016.

Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $2,830,471$2,839,188 during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, compared to $1,965,527$2,044,661 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $864,944,$794,527, or 44.0%38.9%.

Rapid growth in the loan portfolio also resulted in an increase in average FHLB advances of $149,158,$167,137, and subordinated notes and other borrowings increased $38,336,$25,516, when comparing the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with the same period in 2016.

For the six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 3234 basis points from 0.78%0.83% to 1.10%1.17%. The increase was due to increases in the cost of funds from interest-bearing deposits, FHLB advances, Federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for loan losses that, in management’s evaluation, should be adequate to provide coverage for probable losses incurred in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior loan charge-offs.

The provision for loan losses was $573$590 and $1,567$1,392 for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2,428$3,018 and $2,703$4,095 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The lower provision for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 is based on the Company’s analysis of its allowance for loan losses which, based on the loan portfolio’s risk profile and comparatively less loan growth, required less provision be recorded. Nonperforming loans at JuneSeptember 30, 2017 totaled $3,899$2,860 compared to $6,182 at December 31, 2016, representing 0.2%0.1% and 0.3% of total loans, respectively.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 was $3,880$3,569 and $7,888,$11,457, respectively, compared to $4,626$4,876 and $7,711$12,587 for the same periods in 2016, respectively.

The increase innon-interest expense noted in the table above is related to the Company’s overall growth. The Company’s largest increases for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, in comparison with the same periods of 2017,2016, were in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, FDIC assessment expense, and othernon-interest expense.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $1,525$1,032 and $3,041,$4,073, or 20.1%12.9% and 21.5%18.4%, respectively, when comparing the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with the same periods in 2016. The increases in both periods are primarily due to the Company’s staffing growth, during which the Company went from 249261 full-time equivalent employees as of JuneSeptember 30, 2016, to 274279 as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, many of which were officer level positions as the Company has worked to enhance its management team to properly oversee the Company’s growth and to grow its team of lenders to further grow the loan portfolio. In addition to salaries, mortgage commissionsincentive expenses increased $113$405 and $363,$309, respectively, when comparing the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with the same periods of 2016 due to the volume of loans closedCompany’s financial performance during the first half ofthree and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Stock-based compensation expense also increased $251$266 and $440,$657, respectively, for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 in comparison with the same periods in 2016. The Company also experienced growth in incentive expenses related to the Company’s financial performance.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $440$398 and $728,$1,126, or 25.1%19.9% and 20.4%20.2%, respectively, when comparing the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with the same periods in 2016. The variance for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 versus the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016 is primarily attributable to increases in building rent expense ($229)222), software maintenance fees ($121)114), and leasehold improvementsoftware depreciation ($20)21). The variance when comparing the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016 is attributable to increases in building rent expense ($413)634), software maintenance fees ($167)281) and leasehold improvement depreciation ($59)69).

The Company’s FDIC assessment expense increased $610$330 and $957,$1,287, or 150.6%57.9% and 117.0%92.7%, respectively, when comparing the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with the same periods in 2016. The increases are due to the year-over-year asset growth of the Company, on which FDIC assessments are calculated, and are also related to the change in the FDIC insurance assessment calculation in the third quarter of 2016, which caused an increase in the Company’s insurance assessments based on the calculation’s components.

Professional fees decreased $275$114 and $334,$448, or 28.1%12.2% and 16.1%14.9%, respectively, when comparing the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with the same periods in 2016. The decrease when comparing the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with the same period in 2016 is due to decreases in other professional fees ($166)85) and merger-related expensescompliance fees ($146)152). The decrease, when comparing the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, is due to decreases in merger-related expenses ($304)316), legal fees ($136)79) and SEC filing expense ($58)67). The decreases in other professional fees are related to the following 2016 expenses: (1) the design and implementation of subsidiaries (Franklin Synergy Risk Management, Inc., Franklin Synergy Investments of Tennessee, Inc., Franklin Synergy Investments of Nevada, Inc., and Franklin Synergy Preferred Capital, Inc.); (2) a consulting engagement related to the Company’s core systems and related processes; and (3) professional placement service fees for the hiring of several key lending and management professionals.

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT JUNESEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND DECEMBER 31, 2016

Overview

The Company’s total assets increased by $500,404,$622,089, or 17.0%21.1%, from December 31, 2016 to JuneSeptember 30, 2017. The increase in total assets has primarily been the result of organic growth in the loan portfolio and from purchases of additional investment securities.

Loans

Lending-related income is the most important component of the Company’s net interest income and is a major contributor to profitability. The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets, and therefore generates the largest portion of revenues. For purposes of the discussion in this section, the term “loans” refers to loans, excluding loans held for sale, unless otherwise noted.

The absolute volume of loans and the volume of loans as a percentage of earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin as loans are expected to produce higher yields than securities and other earning assets. Total loans, net of deferred fees, at JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $2,011,955$2,115,930 and $1,773,592, respectively, an increase of $238,363,$342,338, or 13.4%19.3%. As a percentage of total assets, total loans, net of deferred fees, at JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were 58.4%59.3% and 60.3% of total assets,, respectively. Growth in the loan portfolio is primarily due to increased market penetration and a healthy local economy. The Company has also attracted a number of experienced commercial and mortgage lenders to help increase penetration in its primary markets in Middle Tennessee, Williamson County, Rutherford County and RutherfordDavidson County.

The table below provides a summary of the loan portfolio composition for the periods noted.

The information presented in the above table is based upon the contractual maturities of the individual loans, including loans which may be subject to renewal at their contractual maturity. Renewal of such loans is subject to review and credit approval, as well as modification of terms upon their maturity. Consequently, management believes this treatment presents fairly the maturity structure of the loan portfolio.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses that management believes is adequate to absorb the probable incurred losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to earnings and is decreased by loan charge-offs net of recoveries of prior period loan charge-offs. The level of the allowance is determined on a quarterly basis, although management is engaged in monitoring the adequacy of the allowance on a more frequent basis. In estimating the allowance balance, the following factors are considered:

 

past loan experience;

 

the nature and volume of the portfolio;

 

risks known about specific borrowers;

 

underlying estimated values of collateral securing loans;

 

current and anticipated economic conditions; and

 

other factors which may affect the allowance for probable incurred losses.

The allowance for loan losses consists of two primary components: (1) a specific component which relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired and (2) a general component which coversnon-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on a combination of the Company’s loss history and loss history from peer group data over the past three years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment.

The following loan portfolio segments have been identified: (1) Construction and land development loans, (2) Commercial real estate loans, (3) Residential real estate loans, (4) Commercial and industrial loans, and (5) Consumer and other loans. Management evaluates the risks associated with these segments based upon specific characteristics associated with the loan segments. These risk characteristics include, but are not limited to, the value of the underlying collateral, adverse economic conditions, and the borrower’s cash flow. While the total allowance consists of a specific portion and a general portion, both portions of the allowance are available to provide for probable incurred loan losses in the entire portfolio.

In the table below, the components, as discussed above, of the allowance for loan losses are shown at Juneas of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Note 1: Loans acquired pursuant to the July 1, 2014 acquisition of MidSouth Bank (“MidSouth”) that are not PCI loans. These are performing loans recorded at estimated fair value at the acquisition date. The fair value adjustment at the acquisition date was approximately $5,014 of the outstandingnon-PCI loan balances acquired. This amount is accreted into interest income over the remaining lives of the related loans on a level yield basis. Based on the analysis performed by management as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, $6$11 in allowance for loan loss was recorded at JuneSeptember 30, 2017 related to the loans acquired from MidSouth.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the allowance for loan losses was $18,689,$19,944, compared to $16,553 at December 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.93%0.94% at both JuneSeptember 30, 2017 andcompared to 0.94% at December 31, 2016. Loan growth during the first halfnine months of 2017 is the primary reason for the increase in the allowance amount.

Nonperforming Assets

Non-performing loans consist ofnon-accrual loans and loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.Non-performing assets consist ofnon-performing loans plus OREO (i.e., real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure). Loans that become past due 90 days are reviewed to determine if they should be placed onnon-accrual status. Loans where, after giving consideration to economic conditions, collateral value, and collection efforts, the full collection of principal and interest is in doubt, or a portion of principal has been charged off, will be placed onnon-accrual. When a loan is placed onnon-accrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected interest is reversed and charged against current income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis, or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The primary component ofnon-performing loans isnon-accrual loans, which as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 totaled $3,366.$2,582. The other component ofnon-performing loans are loans past due greater than 90 days and still accruing interest. Loans past due greater than 90 days are placed onnon-accrual status, unless they are both well-secured and in the process of collection. There were outstanding loans totaling $533$278 that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at JuneSeptember 30, 2017.

Investment Securities and Other Earning Assets

The investment securities portfolio is intended to provide the Company with adequate liquidity, flexible asset/liability management and a source of stable income. The portfolio is structured with minimal credit exposure to the Company and consists of both securities classified asavailable-for-sale and securities classified asheld-to-maturity. Allavailable-for sale securities are carried at fair value and may be used for liquidity purposes should management deem it to be in the Company’s best interest. Securitiesavailable-for-sale, consisting primarily of U.S. government sponsored enterprises and mortgage-backed securities, were $1,021,051$980,737 at JuneSeptember 30, 2017, compared to $754,755 at December 31, 2016, an increase of $266,296,$225,982, or 35.3%29.9%. The increase inavailable-for-sale securities was primarily attributed to the volume of securities purchased during the first quarternine months of 2017.

Theheld-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. This portfolio, consisting of U.S. government sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities, totaled $222,355$217,312 at JuneSeptember 30, 2017, compared to $228,894 at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $6,539,$11,582, or 2.9%5.1%. The decrease is attributable to securities that matured or had principal pay downs during the first sixnine months of 2017.

The combined portfolios represented 36.1%33.6% and 33.4% of total assets at JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company had no securities that were classified as having other than temporary impairment.

The Company also had other investments of $17,326$18,472 and $11,843 at JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, consisting of capital stock in the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank (required as members of the Federal Reserve Bank System and the Federal Home Loan Bank System). The Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve investments are “restricted” in that they can only be sold back to the respective institutions or another member institution at par, and are thus, not liquid, have no ready market or quoted market value, and are carried at cost.

Bank Premises and Equipment

Bank premises and equipment totaled $10,886$11,217 at JuneSeptember 30, 2017 compared to $9,551 at December 31, 2016, an increase of $1,335,$1,666, or 14.0%17.4%. This increase was the result of adding leasehold improvements and furniture and equipment as needed in the normal course of business and related to thebuild-out of a new leased bank office building in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, a new leased office space in Franklin, Tennessee, and a new leased bank building located in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

Deposits

Deposits represent the Company’s largest source of funds. The Company competes with other bank and nonbank institutions for deposits, as well as with a growing number ofnon-deposit investment alternatives available to depositors, such as mutual funds, money market funds, annuities, and other brokerage investment products. Challenges to deposit growth include price changes on deposit products given movements in the rate environment and other competitive pricing pressures, and customer preferences regarding higher-costing deposit products ornon-deposit investment alternatives.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, total deposits were $2,754,425,$2,824,825, an increase of $362,607,$433,007, or 15.2%18.1%, compared to $2,391,818 at December 31, 2016. The growth in deposits is attributable to growth in time deposits and noninterest-bearing deposits.

Included in the Company’s funding strategy are brokered deposits. Total brokered deposits increased from $472,515 at December 31, 2016 to $717,383$878,565 at JuneSeptember 30, 2017, due to the increased need for funding for the Bank’s loan growth and due to the fluctuation in certain brokered deposits that are interest-bearing checking and money market accounts that can fluctuate daily.

Public funds deposits in the form of county deposits are a part of the Company’s funding strategy and are cyclical in nature, with the peak of those deposit balances occurring during the middle of the first quarter of each calendar year. Public funds declined $87,337,$214,866, or 13.4%32.9%, from $653,572 at December 31, 2016 to $566,235$438,706 at JuneSeptember 30, 2017.

Time deposits excluding brokered deposits as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, amounted to $740,522,$736,067, compared to $555,732 as of December 31, 2016, an increase of $184,790,$180,335, or 33.3%32.4%, primarily due to an increase in Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) deposits of $185,000$185,030 during the first halfnine months of 2017.Non-public funds money market accounts, excluding brokered deposits, increased $25,030,$90,039, or 9.4%33.8%, from December 31, 2016 to JuneSeptember 30, 2017. Noninterest-bearing checking deposits grew $21,483,$23,396, or 9.2%10.0%, andnon-public funds interest checking accounts, excluding brokered deposits, grew $14,446,$12,560, or 12.6%11.0%, respectively, when comparing deposit balances from JuneSeptember 30, 2017 with balances at December 31, 2016.

Subordinated Notes

At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company’s subordinated notes, net of issuance costs, totaled $58,426,$58,470, compared with $58,337 at December 31, 2016. For more information related to the subordinated notes and the related issuance costs, please see Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity

Liquidity is defined as the ability to meet anticipated customer demands for funds under credit commitments and deposit withdrawals at a reasonable cost and on a timely basis.

Liquidity risk involves the risk of being unable to fund assets with the appropriate duration and rate-based liabilities, as well as the risk of not being able to meet unexpected cash needs. Liquidity planning and management are necessary to ensure the ability to fund operations cost-effectively and to meet current and future potential obligations such as loan commitments, lease obligations, and unexpected deposit outflows. In this process, management focuses on both assets and liabilities and on the manner in which they combine to provide adequate liquidity to meet the Company’s needs. Our source of funds to pay interest on our subordinated notes is generally in the form of a dividend

from the Bank to the Company, or those payments may be serviced from cash balances held by the Company. Under the terms of the informal agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (the “Reserve Bank”) and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (“TDFI”), described in “Other Events” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis and in “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,below, the Bank is required to receive prior written approval from its regulatory agencies to pay dividends to the Company.

Funds are available from a number of basic banking activity sources including the core deposit base, the repayment and maturity of loans, payments of principal and interest as well as sales of investments classified asavailable-for-sale, and sales of brokered deposits. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, $1,021,051$980,737 of the investment securities portfolio was classified asavailable-for-sale and is reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. Another $222,355$217,312 of the portfolio was classified asheld-to-maturity and is reported at amortized cost. Approximately $958,128$944,463 of the total $1,243,406$1,198,049 investment securities portfolio on hand at JuneSeptember 30, 2017, was pledged to secure public deposits and repurchase agreements. Other funding sources available include repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Equity

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company’s equity was $293,021,$303,697, as compared with $270,361 as of December 31, 2016. The increase in equity was primarily due to the Company’s earnings of $16,808$25,697 in the first sixnine months of 2017, the increase in common stock of $2,266$3,288 during the first sixnine months of 2017, and the $3,594$4,359 increase in other comprehensive income from the increase in the valuation of available for sale securities.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the performance of a financial institution than the effects of general levels of inflation. Although interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services, increases in inflation generally have resulted in increased interest rates. In addition, inflation affects financial institutions’ increased cost of goods and services purchased, the cost of salaries and benefits, occupancy expense, and similar items. Inflation and related increases in interest rates generally decrease the market value of investments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings, and shareholders’ equity. Commercial and other loan originations and refinancings tend to slow as interest rates increase, and can reduce the Company’s earnings from such activities.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company generally does not have anyoff-balance sheet arrangements other than approved and unfunded loans and lines and letters of credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company had unfunded loan commitments outstanding of $53,241,$43,611, unused lines of credit of $518,673,$563,178, and outstanding standby letters of credit of $30,147.$41,523.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation ofNon-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial data included in our selected historical consolidated financial information are not measures of financial performance recognized by GAAP. Our management uses thesenon-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of our performance:

 

“Common shareholders’ equity” is defined as total shareholders’ equity at end of period less the liquidation preference value of the preferred stock;

 

“Tangible common shareholders’ equity” is common shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets;

 

“Total tangible assets” is defined as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets;

 

“Other intangible assets” is defined as the sum of core deposit intangible and SBA servicing rights;

 

“Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common shareholders’ equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes fromperiod-to-period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets;

 

“Tangible common shareholders’ equity ratio” is defined as the ratio of tangible common shareholders’ equity divided by total tangible assets. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in relative changes fromperiod-to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets;

 

“Return on Average Tangible Common Equity” is defined as net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common shareholders’ equity; and

“Efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expenses divided by our operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income;income.

We believe thesenon-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that ournon-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable tonon-GAAP financial measures that other companies use.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, even if the Company complies with the greater obligations of public companies that are not emerging growth companies, the Company may avail itself of the reduced requirements applicable to emerging growth companies from time to time in the future, so long as the Company is an emerging growth company. The Company will continue to be an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (1) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the effectiveness of our Registration Statement on FormS-4, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 14, 2014; (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues; (3) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act; or (4) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued publicly or privately, more than $1.0 billion innon-convertible debt securities. Management cannot predict if investors will find the Company’s common stock less attractive because it will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find the Company’s common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for its common stock and the Company’s stock price may be more volatile.

Further, the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply tonon-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, it adopts the new or revised standard at the time public companies adopt the new or revised standard. This election is irrevocable.

Other Events

On October 18, 2017, the Bank received regulatory approval from the Reserve Bank to open a new branch at 1605 Medical Center Parkway, Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The TDFI previously approved this new branch on July 14, 2017. The Bank plans to open this new branch during the fourth quarter of 2017.

On November 3, 2016, the Bank entered into an informal agreement with the Reserve Bank and the TDFI in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”). Under the terms of the MOU, the Bank agreed, among other things, to (1) enhance and periodically update its Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) concentration risk management policy; (2) augment credit risk management practices; and (3) enhance capital and liquidity plans. The Bank has also agreed that it will seek prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the TDFI to pay dividends to the Company, which dividends are used primarily for the purpose of servicing the Company’s subordinated debt. In addition, the Company currently may not make interest payments on its subordinated debt without prior written approval from its primary regulatory agencies.

The Company has also executed an agreement with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Agreement”) under section 4(m)(2) of the Bank Holding Company Act, which includes specific actions designed to address the Bank’s risk profile and to strengthen the underlying condition of the Bank. Until the Bank and Company satisfy the requirements of the MOU and the Agreement, any plans for business combinations or location expansion will be limited and subject to prior written approval from the appropriate regulatory body.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company’s primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. Based upon the nature of the Company’s operations, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk.

Management seeks to maintain profitability in both immediate and long-term earnings through funds management/interest rate risk management. Interest rate risk (sensitivity) management deals with the potential impact on earnings associated with changing interest rates using various rate change (shock) scenarios. The Company’s rate sensitivity position has an important impact on earnings. Senior management monitors the Company’s rate sensitivity position throughout each month, and then the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) of the Bank meets on a quarterly basis to analyze the rate sensitivity position and other aspects of asset/liability management. These meetings cover the spread between the cost of funds (primarily time deposits) and interest yields generated primarily through loans and investments, rate shock analyses, liquidity and dependency positions, and other areas necessary for proper balance sheet management.

Management believes interest rate risk is best measured by earnings simulation modeling. The simulation is run using the prime rate as the base with the assumption of rates increasing 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points or decreasing 100 and 200 basis points. All rates are increased or decreased parallel to the change in prime rate. As a result of the simulation, over a12-month time period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, net interest income was estimated to decrease 3.18%3.02% and 7.55%7.13% if rates were to increase 100 basis points and 200 basis points, respectively, and was estimated to increase 1.12%1.26% and decrease 6.90%5.25% in a 100 basis points and 200 basis points declining rate assumption, respectively. These results are in line with the Company’s guidelines for rate sensitivity.

The following chart reflects the Company’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates as indicated as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017.

The preceding sensitivity analysis is a modeling analysis, which changes periodically and consists of hypothetical estimates based upon numerous assumptions including interest rate levels, changes in the shape of the yield curve, prepayments on loans and securities, rates on loans and deposits, reinvestments of pay downs and maturities of loans, investments and deposits, changes in spreads between key market rates, and other assumptions. In addition, there is no input for growth or a change in asset mix. While assumptions are developed based on the current economic and market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change. As market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will differ. Also, these results do not include any management action that might be taken in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates. The simulation results are one indicator of interest rate risk, and actual net interest income is largely impacted by the allocation of assets, liabilities, and product mix.
